Challenge total 3stone 13lb

Hi my first weigh in! I managed to lose 1 1/2 lbs.. not fantastic for a first week but better than nothing but I am spurred on to better this week!! have a couple of family 'get togethers' over Easter so need to 'plan' for those!

I must also set up some regular exercise as like others gardening not much of an option at the moment!

How about swimming grannyk that seems to do an all over tone up.

GrannyK Tue 26-Mar-13 10:12:48

Very pleased as have stayed same weight this week again
Really no intention of losing any more , though would quite like to " firm up" some of the areas which look slim but a bit saggy ! Need to investigate the exercise situation - Pilates once a week is set in stone, but until I can rely on doing some weekly gardening ( certainly not in this weather ! ) there's not much else happening in terms of physical activity ...... Hmmmmm. Food for thought .

Hi everyone, I will go through all the weights later as my head is all over today I blame the pirates on Saturday top much Ahoying grin I cant come back down to earth.

grannylin I hope you are recovering well after your op flowers

tegan have you been up in the North East this last week? I wish I had realised as we could have have tried to meet up.

Didn't manage to do much walking last week due to the weather but did eat quite healthily and avoided bread most days [bought some soda bread as we were planning to go to Kelso for the racing on Saturday, but it was cancelled]. 63kg [which I think is what I was before I went away] which is disappointing but, as I spent most of the week curled up on the sofa reading a book isn't surprising. Are you feeling a lot better Moved?

Grannylin must be the wieght of the hip, I'm sure they are very heavy.... grin

Well done the losers. I'm the same again but have just been to physio (finally, after 3 months!) and been told I should try to get moving again.

Out to lunch today and will really try to be good but no promises!

Glass you are not the only one losing the plot!
I have had a funny week involving a short bout of d and v followed by a day and a half of dry toast.
I weighed yesterday and came out at exactly 160lbs. On my chart it means a loss of 0.2lb! Disappointing but better than might have been with all that bread followed by whatever I fancied as the miseries set in sad
Then when I recorded my weight on My Fitness pal I had recorded 161.2 last week (my chart says 160.2!) so shows a loss of 1.2lb - confused - you will be!!!
Whatever way round I am now 160 Glass (weight not age!)

Grannylin Mon 25-Mar-13 09:00:24

A week after hip op, hospital food and lots of cakes and chocolates at home, I'm quite pleased I've only put on 1kg.to 65.5.Then again it could just be the weight of the new hip grin

Notso Mon 25-Mar-13 08:09:57

24...25.....it's only a number glass smile

I don't care if it's March the eleventeenth, because I've lost 2lbs. Whoop! After several weeks of being stuck,my weight has finally decided to give in and start going backwards again. About bloomin time!

Good luck everyone! Don't give up!

janeainsworth Mon 25-Mar-13 08:00:29

Well I am going in the right direction again.
64.7kg (started 65.2)
