March Challenge anyone?

[Quak]

Brilliant Jessie - well done on hitting the big 50!

Dawniesvan, what can I say, I really feel for you - but it is still going down the right way at least.

Thanks Bren, like you say at least it is 1lbs off and not 1lbs on... well done on your 2lbs this week x

 

[Quak]

Cheers, my next weigh-in is tomorrow so hoping for a better loss this week as I have upped my exercise a little as I don't want it to take forever to get to goal, fingers crossed.

:cryarn it all - have I upped the exercise too much? Only just over 1 lb off this week, still not reached the 9's or the 100lb mark - what do I have to do to speed this back up again?

Aw that's pants Quak but you will do it for sure next week, and you are still losing which is the main thing.

Maybe you are close enough to goal now that you are ready to look at moving to WS for the last stone or so? Or maybe metting WS halfway and adding a 200-cal meal? Having more calories in and keeping the excercise levels up might boost your metabolism a bit?

Yup, pants indeed. I am still nearly 2 stone off goal so it seems a bit early to be adding food on a regular basis but it might be an option if next week does not improve. Am trying to stay positive so it does not send me into doing something I will regret but it has been a long journey and seems to be stretching out even longer than I anticipated.

[yummy101]

The last couple of stone always seems the hardest. You are feeling great and looking great and therefore, the motivation wanes. My weight loss has slowed down as well now, but it is because I have started to pick again - my downfall that started all of this!

We have to stay strong to the end ;-))

Good luck with next week.

 

[Toots]

Well done everyone!!

Bren - still moving in the right direction - that can only be a good thing!! Look how far you've come already - well done you!!!!

- what do I have to do to speed this back up again?

Organ donation. You know it makes sense.

Sorry, it was meant to be a stoopid flippant comment to raise a smile! Sorry to hear it's all been a bunch of arse. I suppose it's you're body trying to keep hold of what's left of it's reserves by gripping on to it as hard as it can.

I've got no useful suggestions I'm afraid. I just wanted to show a bit of solidarity

 

[Miss Demeanour]

Now I've decided to deal with the scales issue by keeping the change constant by changing the top and bottom figures, I can add my numbers in again.

Yes I think bodies are more conniving than you think
what about mine being all tired trying to get me to do bugger all last week
ok, so maybe a little less water didn't help
but my body is avoiding getting with the plan

get in the bath and give it s good talking to quak

seriously though
maybe a refeed week
then back to total will move things along?
You have come so far
what you have done is remarkable

Ah, little problem - no bath!!! Just a big walk in shower
Am going to give it another week before I resort to food I think, and thank you all for the lovely supportive comments, at least you all know where I am coming from thank goodness, people who have never done this sort of diet have ABSOLUTELY no idea. I can't count the times today I have been told to stop now as I am fine the way I am :sigh:

 

[Miss Demeanour]

Good. You know those times you say things and think....

'Hmm.. too much?'

Well done Rosie Kate, not bad considering you have had a meal.

Well done you losers. No matter how little OFF is always a good thing.
Nothing off for me this week but nothing on either so I'm happy to stick with it for another week. Ate 300 cals allowed food last week and am upping to full WS this week so I'll be happy to lose anything next week. Am going to make sure I keep up with the exercise to help things along(hopefully). That goal is tantalisingly close....................
