AnnC .. Eight and a half lbs in seven weeks with our without the Squats is fantastic. Well done <3 '

thanks - now if I can manage another two and half next week that'll be a stone!! We'll see!!

Ann that brilliant, I can't wait to get int double figures.

hmm - don't think I could do a squat!!! I lost two and a half pound at weigh in today - that's eleven and a half in seven weeks!! very pleased indeed, though I really don't feel any different :-S

Thank you Paula

Dame Shelly I too do my own eating plan and just needed to be pushed into more exercise, And my friend just gave me that push. Curves are all over place they are franchised and for women only although run by a husband and wife team . One of them is working with you all the time and making sure you are doing everything right. Normally I am not a gym person as I prefer classes with everyone working together but I think I may change my opinion soon. I'll let you know after my first month is up.

The best bit is the coffee and gossip afterwards :-D

Well done TS every little bit off counts. Keep it up, and enjoy your exercise.

Home from my first session in the gym. Feel great with a few aches from under used muscles which will get less the more I do. I was weighed and measured and given a target of 4 kilos, about 8.8ils to lose this month!! I think this is too much but we will see.

The pound of butter is a good tip Hayley as it is pure fat.

Slowly slowly catchy Monkey TS, have a look at a lb of butter and then see how much weight you have lost, keep with it you are doing great. I am a great believer in excercise :-D

Week 2 so second weigh in. I lost 1lb so now 3 in 2 weeks. I am a bit disappointed as I thought I had had a really good week.

I went for my induction at Curves gym on Monday and sign up today for my first session. I would like to reduce my body fat percentage if I can.

Since my lovely husband died I am very aware that I need to look after myself as nobody else will. My family are in England. So basically I just want to stay fit and healthy.

Good luck to everyone else.

AnnC You are doing fantastic, <3 <3 <3
I am on day sixteen of the Squat Challenge, today is a rest day so I have started the Plank Challenge. These challenges are not about dieting (although a healthy diet helps) its all about toning your body, and I have to say I am enjoying them (so far)

Good luck for tonight

:-D

Well done Ann with 9lbs gone you should be able to see and feel a difference.

Isn't it great when other people notice too.

well I've lost 9lb so far - due to weigh in tomorrow and I have a feeling there's going to be a good weight loss this week :-D :-D

Please Hayley can I have a pm with "the secret" pretty please, not that I'm begging or anything.

Wendy :-)

Thank you Theresa I look and feel fantastic :-D

Paula have sent you a pm :-D

Hayley,
what a great weight loss.

I am hoping to loose a little more than you. I know that maintaining casn be difficult, but keep trying to imagine what it willbe like to cart 30+ lbs. around with me all the time.


Well done you! :-)

Paula, I will be 65 in November - no apologies needed.


I will keep trying to loose weight, checking every friday morning.
Just didn't want to report such a small loss (or gain :-( ) each week.

Have increased my activity level, but if I overdo it, can be off my feet (well almost) for a couple of days. Only able to move around by holding onto furniture etc.



I will not give up!!!

Hayley.... What's your secret ?

Just back from SW and haven't lost anything this week but haven't gained either so i'm happy :-D...

Good luck to those who have weigh in this week xx

Hayley. Very well done, a brilliant achievement only 4lbs to go :-D

Tessa. NOooooo come back when you've lost the next pound and the next etc however long it takes will be worth it.

I met a friend for coffee this morning and she goes to a Curves gym. It's not strenuous the machinery is hydraulic and you can control the intensity. I'm joining her on Monday for a free session to see how I get on. I need more exercise I think I've got my food intake under control now. ;-)
