Thank you Veggie. Thought I might of sneaked in unnoticed.

I want to do this challenge and would like to lose 10lb I am currently going to ww so will update on a Thursday

Fee x

Count me in! This is just what I need right now and as we have a wedding to attend at the end of May, I'd be very happy to lose 10 pounds before I go shopping for a new outfit. I've been very very lax about weight loss these last few months so time to get in gear!

My goals:

1) 3 litres of water a day (which isn't even hard for me to achieve when I stick to it)
2) Power walking 5 mornings a week
3) Weights 3 mornings a week
4) Eating a decent breakfast, even if it's just toast and a piece of fruit
5) Back to my grilled cod or salmon and veggies for lunch
6) Back to the Mediterranean way of eating, incorporating more fresh veggies and wholefoods into my meals and snacks
7) Planning my menus

I want in!!!

I would like to lose 12 lbs which would work out as just under 2 pounds a week. I'm 168 now (an even 12 stone:mad: ) and that would bring me down too 156 (11stone 2). Which, if I actually managed it would be un-be-lievable.:^:

Good luck to all involved. I'm gonna weigh in Mondays.

Right, I haven't posted my goals yet.

1. My marathon is on 27 May, so that's the number 1 priority. If I run better a bit heavier because I have more energy reserves to call on, then so be it. I will eat what I need to train, and try not to obsess about quantity (although I reserve the right to be picky about quality). I want a PB, and I want to run all the way this time.

2. I'd like to hit 148 at least once in my life so I can say I've lost 8 stone. I got down to 149 before easter so I think it's doable. I'm not going off my weight on the 28th though - that will be skewed by marathon running and post race eating/drinking, so for the weight part of this my cut off date is 25 May (and even that might be affected by carb loading...)

3. This is the fun bit. Last year I bought myself some fab jeans for my birthday (31st May). I'm thrilled that I can still fit in them (not least because they were so expensive!) so this year my challenge is to find something equally fantastic to buy. I want to get myself one real quality piece of clothing each year for my birthday as a reminder of what I've achieved. Of course I'm still allowed to buy clothes the rest of the year ;). I may only get round to this in Madrid, but I'll start thinking about what I want to buy now.

4. Stick to the basics. Lots of fruit and veg, lots of carbs, not so much alcohol and chocolate. I know what to do, but sometimes I seem to fall off track a bit. Even though I can get away with eating more, I need to remember that I don't need to make up the excess with chocolate and wine...

This is my weigh in day and I was 206.5 up half a pound.

My goal is too lose 21lbs :) by the end of this challenge x

My weigh in was tonight and lost 1.5lb so on my way to losing my 10lb woo hoo.

Nice start fee. Well done

Oh meant to say in last posting. I booked today to go to the Gym on a Monday and Wednesday so hopefully that will help me on my way. I have my cousins wedding on 7th July so am aiming to lose the weight for then so that I feel more comfortable in how a look.

Welcome to everyone - lovely to see so many people joining in and so full of enthusiasm.

I've had my weigh in too this morning and (surprise, surprise) have stayed the same!

i weighed in tonight instead of tomorrow as ive been doing loads of night shifts and my body clock etc all all out of sync
despite having a mini binge :( on thursday, ive lost 2.6 lbs .probably did me good. i ate on top of my normal food. portion home cooked shepherds pie, 1 mars bar and a handful of choc chip cookies, yum yum. its really hard trying to eat from scratch/healthy when im doing nights. i should prepare in advance and freeze, but im so disorginised. mad

I forgot I stuck this. :dizzy: Well done madaboutbooks. :)

Im a newbie,Im in on this one but a week late I guess so I weighed in today on my first week at 162lbs and by June 17th I so want to be thinner by 2 stone but thats pushing to far but definately one and a half so I will go with one and a half stone by the end of this challenge,thats 21lbs mmmmmm,well done everyone who has successfully completed their first week.
