Blonde will make thin ....Here we go again !

[Girgy85]

Forgot to update today did 3.2km On treadmill followed by 30 minutes of kick boxing with my pt.

[leethefish]

Ok - I need the motivation to do this so am I too late to join?

I would like to lose 2 1/2 stone by July (at the latest) and keep it off. I just bought a swimming cap and membership to the gym.

Can I join in?  £100 penalty - same as Mr Galloway - seems like a good idea.

very late entry but i see no reason why not !! does anyone else?

Ive always said the more the merrier

Advice only its your task....... weigh yourself tonight and post weight.. set say July first as your deadline !

Phew - ok unless anyone does object I'm counting myself in. Starting a 9 day detox tomorrow followed by healthy eating and exercise until goal weight.

Current weight with shoes off but uniform and cardigan on (Yikes please don't tell anyone) 186.6 pounds or 13 stone 3 so ideally I'd like to be 10 stone 8. I will be the oldest on here doing it, not too sure whether age affects weight loss? 

Ok - roll on tomorrow. For my own encouragement I will also be measuring waist, thighs etc as sometimes the weight may not be moving so much but the inches are reducing. I also have a dress I want to get back into which I have kept purely so I can keep the motivation going.

Any recommendations on how often to weigh etc?

Welcome Trace, my only stipulation is by the end of July, you have to have written a weight loss joke for the veterans on this thread.

Weigh-ins, once a week at the same time each week seems to be the standard.

once a week most of us do it sundays!
but it makes no difference

[Simon Galloway]

Welcome aboard!!

[leethefish]

Today I weighed in at 16st13, pretty pleased as I've really put the effort in this week and to drop 3lb is good imo.

BTW my starting weight in the OP is wrong, its been converted from KG to ST but instead of it being 18.56 = 18st8 its been done 18.56 = 18st6.

I wasnt going to say anything but now I'm worried about failing I thought I would highlight it... not very charitable I know!

sorted ...sorry!

do you want july first as your deadline ill update op if this is OK?

[Dingdell]

Yes - July 1st is good. First today - totally unprepared so winging it a bit until i get organised at lunch time. But so far ignored the biscuits in the fridge at work. I'm going completely cold turkey on sugars so I am expecting a few down days then hopefully feel a lot better after.

Joking obv ;-)  No tomato ketchup here - it's a work fridge, so digestives, milk and aloe vera gel - that's it.
