The new short challenge - just 5 weeks this time.

28th June - 2nd August.

Start: current: target


Me? I had a shocking last 2 weeks and didn't lose anything (didn't gain a whole pound either).

I'm adding a personal exercise target to so my challenge looks like this:

214: 214: 204

I've changed my mind about the exercise, I'm walking Becksters Running Challenge. Come and join in, I'll change any details over here!

Join in and I'll keep the numbers, internet connection allowing




Stef 214: 214: 204 plus London to Brighton and a Cornish holiday to survive

EllieR 219: 219: 209 plus 360 mins (adjusted for road trip )
touchmytoes 141: 141: 130
AngelD 186: 186: 176
Cleophas 250: 250: 240 plus 450 mins - yay!
Rainbow 239: 239: 230
Beckster 159: 159: 152 plus London to Brighton and a real 2 weeks in Italy
Starbuck 249: 249: 242 and she's got Florida in sight
Catrocks 140: 140: 130 and a tricky family holiday to negotiate - welcome to the Challenge
slwadsworth 243: 243: 233 and 450 mins (unless you want to join the London to Brighton instead, I'll happily track both) a big welcome to the site


And we are off, hot sticky, humid and icky-sweaty weight loss starts here

Hey Stef,

I'm in again. Bring it!

Not going to set my goals to high this time, as in 2 weeks time, I'm goin stateside for a 2 week roadtrip in California, supersize land.
So, hoping to maintain for the duration of the trip (yeah right!).
Will defo get in a bit of excercise though...

SW: 219
CW: 219
GW: 209

120 mins excercise p/wk

Im in again,

I didnt do as well as I thought i would last month, but will do much better this month for sure.

141/141/130

I can do this!!!!

[AngelD]

I missed the last one but will join in this one!

After 6 months of not really trying I've finally gotten my act together and could do with a little challenge to keep me going. I'm going to aim to lose 10 pounds.

SW: 186
CW: 186
GW: 176

I think just doing excercise will be a sucess for me so will hold off on a target for that just now!!

[Cleophas]

Okay I'm in again:

SW: 250
CW: 250
GW: 240

I guess I'll also go for 450 minutes this time

[Rainbow]

SW - 239lb
CW - 239lb
GW - 230lb (I was going to aim for 8 lb but decided on 9 for a nice round number )

[Beckster]

I'm in again...... I will be away in Italy from 16 - 26 July though, so will keep target lower than June challenge.
start - 159
current - 159
goal - 152

Am pledging 7 pounds. As for exercise, i think this is where i can shine......hopefully!

have set up a cyber london to brighton run/walk on a different thread - 87km - come join!

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE XXX

[Starbuck]

Just booked myself a holiday to Florida in January, so have some serious motivation now to lose the weight.

I'll say 7lbs this time so cw 249 / gw 242

[CatRocks]

Can I join this time? Missed the June one but I really need some motivation so this is ideal!
It looks like this - 140/140/130
Hopefully I'll manage 10 lbs...but I do have a 5 day holiday planned with the family during July, but I promised myself I am going to go to the hotel gym every day!
Good luck girls!

Lost 3 pounds!

how come I can see some ladies losing about 3-4 lbs a week and im stuck on about 1-2....ive been going to the gym every day since last Thursday...which means im burning alot of cals per week...but still im not seeing massive results... do you think its because of my metabolism?

I don't know about the others but mine is due to only being on plan for two weeks so isn't real every week kind of weight loss. For someone of your weight 1-2lbs is really great and there is absolutly nothing wrong with your metabolism. Once I get well into losing weight I tend to slow down to that rate as well or worse - 5 weeks straight of losing 0.5 at WW drove me mad!!!
