Sophiebean, wow! I went to have a look at your pics and I just was speechless, amazing!

Yossarianlives, hope you get unstuck soon!

I've managed to lose some this week, which is a bit of a surprise considering I haven't worked out that much this week and eaten some junk too. I'll take it though :)

SW 180.4
CW 174.4 (-2.2 from last week)
GW 170

2lbs down this week. New weight 176lbs :)

Well done Sophie, you look amazing! :) I'm still the same, but it's TOM at the moment so hopefully that means I'm due a wee whoosh this week? Good luck everyone...x

Okay, so bit of a NSV at the gym yesterday. So, I don't run. I have damaged cartilage in my knee (since playing hockey at high school/county level). I decided to go for it on the treadmill... I ran for about 5 minutes at 9.5! I'm paying for it today... my legs hurt.

I was kind of disheartened when I weighed in this morning, as I had made about a 900/1000cal deficit, and there was no shift AT ALL on the scale. But then when I started moving I realised how much my legs HURT, so I'm hoping tomorrow will be a different story. :D

Well done SannaMaria and CurlyWurly on your >2lb losses! I'm so jealous! You must feel ace!

Down to 177lb after a 10 day stall :) Weight has been up and down a lot due to water weight so was reluctant to post until I'd been 177 for a few days so passed this month's goal by 1 pound and more importantly I'm no longer obese :) :) :) That hasn't really sunk in yet after being so heavy for so many years. Starting to get a lot of hints from people that I don't need to lsoe more weight - I do still look like I have weight to lose and I'm a big build so no idea why people are seeign me as being so thin.

Sophie you look great so well done :) :)

Hope everyone else is doing well.

sorry ladies ive been m.i.a. You all are doing well keep up the good work .

Touchmytoes...just think 0f that 5 pounds as the babys weight..lol id love to have that reason for my excess baggage. You must be so excited are you thinking of names or do you have it picked out already. My sister and i was talking about this the other day baby names for our children ..lol we dont have any yet but its always good to be ready.. lol

hiya, yeah have two picked out already, kind of always known them to be honest..

have a scan in less than 2 hours...nervous!!!!!!!!

Hey Tiara,

Welcome back, I was beginning to worry!!

Touch mytoes, good luck with scan, you must be soooo excited!!!

Rainbow - Wow, Wow, Wow - that's amazing, well done, very proud indeed, and Normal BMI, fantastic, relish this feeling!!!!!
PS Rainbow just looking back through the old posts Stef started these challenges last June - so we are 2 months shy of an anniversary, and I think you and I are the only 2 originals from Thread 1 left!!!!!!

1lb off today making my CW 185. Was hoping for 2 so that I can put that 40lb lost avatar up, but what the heck, it's a downward movement so I'll take it! I'm going to be very busy with 2 work deadlines for the next 4 weeks - since I work from my house, the upside is that I won't be thinking about eating, the downside is that I might have less time to prepare nutritious meals. I'll have to see how it goes.

Touchmytoes, good luck with the scan.

THanks Ellie :) Not normal yet though still a way to go to that :( But overweight for the first time in many years so very happy :) Yes Stef and Starbuck put in a brief apperence around December/January but they vanished again :(

Very excited for you touch my toes all the best for the scan :)

Wow, well done to everyone on the amazing losses!!! :D :broc: :D

Sorry I didn't log my weight last week, I was in the middle of shopping, baking, entertaining and planning a week of London tourism for my visiting family. Last week and this past weekend saw way too much alcohol consumed, but I spent a lot of time on the trampoline/bike/climbing over stone walls and across fields last weekend and I'm determined to start exercising regularly again.

Anyhoo, I weighed in yesterday at 193 which I was fairly happy about. I know if I'd stayed on plan for the whole of last week I would have weighed less, but hey, only 3lbs to meet my goal for this month I guess :)

So, I got to a mini-goal today! 10% of my body weight lost! Super pleased. Its my last week of university (EVAR) this week, and I have so much due (a presentation on Gestalt psychology for tomorrow, an essay for Wednesday, and sooo much due of my dissertation for tuesday...) that I'm not going to get to the gym until wednesday, but I've resigned myself to this fact.

Anyway, I'm hoping to be into the 180s within the fortnight! :D

Touchmytoes, I hope your scan went swimmingly! Sorry you're on bed rest, but at least it is an excuse to relax!

Hi everyone. I hope you're all well. I'm trying to focus myself for the last few days of the month but I haven't managed to break the cycle of feeling that food is a reward - when something has gone well I celebrate by eating but equally when stuff goes badly I eat then too! Does anyone have ways around this kind of eating habit?

Sophie your pictures are amazing well done! I was wondering how did you decide what you ultimate goal weight will be? Or how has anyone else decided? It seems lke such an unreal number to me right now!

Good luck x

hopefulchick... i decided on my goal weight of 130 because that is what my doctor said is healthy for me but id honestly think id be happy at 180. But ive decided to see how i feel at 180 and take it from there...
