Tomorrow I'll make a list of all our March challenges.... I hope we all achieve them.

Anyone else lost any weight this week that they haven't posted??????

[Jano]

Hi all

Janey I have a WW buddy and I have found mine very useful. I was surpirise when I first had it how much exercise I didn't do so my aim is to get it on to healthy each day as I was doing no where near that amount. If I can do extra to that, all the better. This means that I am certainly moving around more on a day to day basis, so exercise aside, it should make some difference.

Things are difficult for me at the moment, I am a little stretched and will have problems getting a weigh in and dieting but I would like to join in with your challenge of 7lbs by the end of March. I will be at nearly a stone then and that's not to be sneezed at....... count me in.

ChiChi: -3
Melissa: -1
Carol: same
TQ: -1.5
Chris: -4
Kim (aka Flumper) : -2
Phoebe: +1.25

Big hugs to those of us who have gained - we've all been there and know EXACTLY what it feels like.

As for me - my stats this week are :

Start Weight this time (02 Jan 02): 14st 10lbs
Current Weight: 13st 5lbs
Target Weight: 10st 7lbs
Total lost since 02/01: 19lbs

2 more stones to go before I am in the 'healthy' range of the BMI!!


How really GREAT to have so many people join in with our March Challenge the list is as follows:

Those of us who ARE GOING to lose 7lbs before the end of March are: Kim (aka Flumper), Carol, Melissa, TQ, Posy/Ali, ChiChi, BPB, Jan and me.

Phoebe has set herself the challenge of losing 8lbs by the end of March and Geneve's personal challenge is to be 15st something by the end of March.

Good Luck Everyone, WE CAN DO THIS!!!!!

Remember the Five Ds ..... Desire + Dedication + Determination + Discipline = Diet Success

I am setting myself a challenge to loose between 5 and 7lb for March - I know that i can do that without stressing myself too much! I lost 6.5lb in Feb but have just been away for the weekend and know i have probably gained 3/4 lb of that back!!

[veggie]

I stayed the same AGAIN...

[flumper]

arent we doing well

[Smiling Sal]

Well done everybody. Sarah how do you do it ? I just have to look at a choclate biscuit & I'm putting on weight.

Veggie - don't worry it will come off eventually. I peaked at the scales last night & they showed I had stuck - but then I had been out on Saturday night & drank for Scotland. So I suppose it's my own fault. It's my offical weigh in tomorrow night so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that a little pound may slip off, before then.

Carol

[Delaney]

Official weigh in day and I have lost 2lbs this week - that's me at 17.3 Sarah - this is the first time in my entire "fat life" that I feel like I'm really going to do this - I know I wouldn't be able to do it without you guys

[Smiling Sal]

Am down 3 this week. Am a bit shell shocked was expecting to stay the same s I haven't been an angel. Just shows what I know, all this exercise is obviously paying off.

Here's all the stats I couldn't find last week

Starting Weight 16st 8lbs
Current Weight 15st 4lbs
Target Weight 10st 7lbs
Loss this week 3lbs
Loss so far 1st 4lbs
Remainder to loss 4st 11lbs
BMI 35.6 Morbidly Obese
Basal Metabolism 1725
Daily Activites - Cals 341
Daily Cals Limit 1750


really pleased to say I no longer have 5 stone to lose - those few pounds make all the difference

I'm struggling to eat 1750 cals, but looks like I can stick to that level for another week & see what happens next Tuesday. If the truth be told I'm eating nearer 1600 than 1750. It is an awful lot of food to eat. Can't believe I just said that.

I'll catch up with all the other threads tomorrow. Was late home & this train strike tomorrow isn't going to help as I've Glasgow to get to again - so god only knows when I'll get there or get back.

See you

Carol

Well done Sal and anyone else who has lost this week.

After a traumatic week, I have decided to go to club tomorrow. I am not expecting much as I have only dieted for the last 2 days but at least I am going to face the music.

Will let you all know tomorrow night but I am still looking at that 7lb by the end of the month if it means having a leg or something cut off LOL.

Well done Melissa!!!! We are ALL going to do this - eventually! You are right though, its so nice having this support network - its lovely visiting here and knowing that other people are experiencing the same things as me. Like you, I feel like I am going to do it this time.

Well done Carol!!!! Yes - it does sometimes feel like a lot of food (I usually eat about 1500 if you add in all my fruit and veg) but it's the type of food that is important - counting calories makes me very aware of hidden fat in foods. I have given up proper cheese pretty much altogether now.... sob!

Jano {{{{ hugs }}}} - take your time, if it helps you to feel 'normal' in a topsy turvy world then go to class and/or diet, but don't force yourself to do anything that won't be a support to you right now. There's all the time in the world to lose those pounds.

[TracyLangford]

I gained 2lb this week - i am not to bothered as i was away at the weekend and ate and drank for england!! As this is likely to be my only break this year i decided that i would not worry too much about staying on plan.
