Here's the board as it stands.. 10 weeks.. 10 stars to collect.. keeping it old school and a running total for everyone.. Commit to this for the next 10 weeks... just see the goal as 10 weeks... never mind summer.. holidays.. next Christmas.. just 10 weeks.. and if you can do this for just 10 weeks and be down a dress/pant size for Paddies day... by the time summer gets here you'll be closer to 2 dress sizes!! The bikinis and flip flops and the dreaded summer wardrobe will be taunting us by then so lets be ahead of it while its still freezing out there.. if you put the effort in now.. you'll be 10 lbs lighter.. so don't look at final goals.. look at being -1lb next week.. that's the healthy way.. any more is a bonus!
Slight tangent - last week I received an email from someone who regularly follows the posts and challenges but never participates... I learned after my little melt down before Christmas there are many who pop by and are getting something out of it but I had no idea! It was such a nice change from the usual spam and nonsense... I only set this blog up to be accountable and to have somewhere to put all the foods I eat in one spot so when I got to SuperValu I wouldn't be there all night with my calculator! LOL So, for those skulking about.. ... I know you're there and I'm posting a 'blank' version of the challenge to print out for your fridges so you can do it along with us at home.. we'll never know! (although secretly we will!)
I know I have more to add to the list so Friday will have more names but here's the starter! Post your losses below and lets have everyone down at least 1 pound next week...
All those asking about the APP in Mr. Qs post... He will be doing a full post about it in the coming weeks! Watch this space as they say!
And for gods sake TRACK like the man says.. it works!

Well done! Am following this but my WI day is Saturday (figured out it's the only day that works for me - elimimates Friday binge & I don't on Sunday anyway) so will keep it up & see if I can get there too :)x
ReplyDeleteNo probs.. Will add you and put u on the list! Give me a nudge if I forget ... I'm old! Lol
DeleteWell Done:) I am down down 2lb this week:) Katie

DeleteIs it Wednesday or Thursday when we weigh in? I weighed in last Thursday morning... Can I advise tomorrow?? The Rack x
ReplyDeleteWeigh in is on Thursday but I'm away tmrw so I'm getting ahead of myself! x
DeleteAgghhhh...was up half a pound! Think it may have been the Christmas leftovers....but not to worry, I will have it and two more pounds gone by next week! Marguerite
ReplyDeleteHalf a pound is nothing! Be gone in a week! Ditch what's left on the cupboards or feed it to ur skinny friends! Lol x
DeleteI lost 7.4! Not sure how hat happened, but I did see a gain of 6.4 pounds - I guess it wasn't a true gain!
ReplyDeleteA loss is a loss don't knock it! Fab to be down after all the Christmas madness!! Well done!! 7 lbs is not to be sniffed at!
DeleteI'm also a lurker! Any chance you could add me? I'm good for the challenge! My name's Jen :)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely! Great to have you on board! The more the merrier I say! x
DeleteI had a STS this week! :-( I didn't deserve it but since I had a STS the first week after xmas which was most likely false I think this is just everything adjusting. Back on it and hoping for something better next week! Good work on your 4lbs - thats an amzing loss!
ReplyDeleteAgreed the first week back can be a bit deceiving! STS is great! Don't let it knock you back... xxx
DeleteI lost 2 lbs, can't honestly say it is fully deserved so will be extra good this week :)
ReplyDeleteGood start!!! No one is perfect all the time.. we're human and you've got to live life or else we'll all go through it miserably! You're on track .. well done x
DeleteWell done on the 4lbs loss, thats fab :) I'm back to healthy eating this week, but won't be facing the scales until Saturday morning. But I'd luv to be included if thats ok? i'l just be late to the party each week!!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely .... you're in! xxx
DeleteI was down 3.5 this week Doll x
ReplyDeletePoster child! Awesome!!! x
DeleteWell done to all! I was down 5 this week but think it's more of an indication of how bad I was up to this week! Still delighted ;-)
ReplyDeleteJojo
That's a great loss!!! And a great kick off for the new year! x well done!
DeleteI didn't lose any this week, which is better than gaining I suppose!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely! Maintaining still means you're making good choices! x

DeleteHi
ReplyDeleteCongrats on 4lb loss. I'm a bit of a lurker. I'd like to be included
in the challenge started back at WW on Wednesday.
Put on 6lb in 4wks on holidays in Oz. Heaviest I've been in
long time. So frustrating starting again but hopefully this time
I'll crack it.
Definitely! Lots of support in here! x
