Default Spring Challenge End of Week 2 Weigh In Thread

I'm posting this a day early because I'm working extra hours tomorrow so I won't be around.

So, how are we all doing??? It seems to me that this lovely weather is helping in some way - definitely for me its easier to eat less when its warmer somehow - and it certainly encourages me to get out in the fresh air and walk off a few more calories.

I'm not weighing myself (part of my Challenge) - but I can tell from the fit of my clothes that something's happening. I'm now back in to a pair of work trousers that stopped fitting me after my holiday in February. I know I promised myself I wouldn't weigh my food either but I gave in to temptation and FitDay'd a sample day... 1382 calories and I exercised off 429 of them with my daily walk.

Good luck everyone!

Not doing tooooo bad. Long hours in the office 6 days a week mean I'm not getting that much exercise at the mo, but we had friends round and for once I didn't use that as an excuse to go crazy with the wine and garlic bread. I am vaguely hopeful for tomorrow's weigh in.

Well done Sarah Ann
and don't work too hard ;-)

Well I've had a rubbish couple of weeks while I was writing my dissertation but as of Monday I've been back on the wagon, started a new low fat, low carb, low salt diet and it seems to be working for me - down 5.3lbs this week and that's with no exercise! Woohoo!

I lost half a pound which I know I could do better but well at least its still off and not on.

I've not had a good start to this week as my weeks run Thursday to Thursday. Also i'm off work this week and its my birthday on Tuesday so I think I'm really going to struggle to stick to this diet, would be happy with another half pound even. Even if I cant stick to healthy eating i'm going to try and get out walking more.

I also went food shopping on Saturday and going to change to the ww no points diet where u just have 3 meals a day and no snacking as it is prob the snacking that I do most of.

Well done the rest of u keep up the good work.

I've lost 2 pounds as of this morning! I've been power walking again in the mornings though I've still got to dust off my weights. Mostly, I've just been loosely counting calories, watching portion sizes, eating mostly fresh steamed veg with meals (like 50 to sometimes 75%) and no mindlessly grazing as I tend to do.

Oh yeah, off to change my ticker!

2 lbs off this week, completely gobsmacked and will probably put it all back on, but so far so good for sensible eating and no crazy binges.

Well done all you losers!

Not so great this week- lost 1 pound. Better than nothing I guess.

I have my AF at the moment and the booze found me again this weekend- I just have no will power when it comes to a cold beer on a sunny day!

Oh well I'll do better this week- well done all you losers.

Another 2lb for me. Only two weeks in and almost half way to my spring challenge goal.

Very happy with the progress so far.

Well done everyone

I feel a bit thinner (in how clothes are fitting, etc) but the scales say I'm the same :\ I'm blaming water retention and girly reasons so I'm gonna weigh myself again on Friday before I go away for the weekend...
