Well, I am finally off the starting blocks - lost 1.5lbs this week. Bit gutted to be honest as I was really good and was hoping for a bigger loss. I just hope it comes off next week instead - I hate it when that happens! But at least I have started moving in the right direction again!

I am not even off the starting blocks! I've had two holidays though, so at least it was expected. However, I am being angellic this week, so am hoping for a stonking loss on Monday night. If I don't lose a good amount I will be a very grumpy girl! I think I will though - I pledged to lose...

Oh, and its nine more weigh ins!

That's really excellent progress Money-Penny!! At this rate you will be well exceeding your target! I get weighed tomorrow and am hoping to have lost. I have been on holiday this week but was good last week - so fingers crossed that results in a loss as I need to get cracking! Now my hols...

Well done - 3lbs - excellent!

Oh, and there are ten more weigh ins for me before Halloween! So I need to lose 1.8lbs per week consistently!

I have been inspired by Autumn.Dream to create my own ticker - hopefully it is showing below! Autumn is my favourite time of year too - my little girl (three in a couple of weeks!) is named 'Harriet Autumn'. We call her Hattie for short! I am away on Monday so I will miss my weigh in and have...

Have a good time tonight - go for something with diet coke and it won't be too bad! 'With' diet coke mind, not just diet coke! I went out for a meal last night and had the 'light' main course and the frozen yoghurt dessert. Which was angelic of me, but I also had two slices of garlic bread...

I love Hallowe'en too - and am rather sorry I will be on holiday for it!! I dislike exercise - I wish I liked it, just like I wish I liked veggies. Its hard to make yourself like something you dont!

Hello all, Would it be ok if I joined? I am going on holiday over October half term (which is basically Hallowe'en) so it fits in really well with a mini goal for me! By my calculations its 10 weeks away. I get weighed tomorrow but have been on holiday and am away over the bank holiday too...

Hello all, Very pleased to be here after a 3lb loss this week, I am now at 17st 12.5 which I think is brilliant. I can't imagine being at 16 something but fingers crossed by the end of April I should be there!

My date is the 16th of June, and I am hoping to lose another 2 and a half stone (best get on with it!!).

Two more - the last of Feb! Didn't get to where I wanted :cry: Ailly 8lb. (7lbs lost - 1lb to go) Bobbles86 12lbs (11.5lbs lost - .5lbs to go) Birdmummy 10lb (7lb lost - 3lb short this month!) Butterflymad 10lb (5.5lb lost - 4.5lb to go) Clareel 4lb (0lb lost - 4lb to go) Corkscrew 10lb (9lb...

1.5lbs off - need to pick up my game! Ailly 8lb. (5.5lbs lost - 2.5lb to go) Bobbles86 12lbs (7lbs lost - 3.5lbs to go) Birdmummy 10lb (5 lost - 5 to go) Butterflymad 10lb (5.5lb lost - 4.5lb to go) Clareel 4lb (0lb lost - 4lb to go) Corkscrew 10lb (7lb lost - 3lb to go) CurvyBride 10lb (3.5lb...

2lbs down for me takes me to 18st 5lbs. So, I think three weeks should see me in the next group (fingers crossed!) x

Not a great start - but finally off the starting blocks! Ailly 8lb. (1lbs gain - 6.5lb to go) Bobbles86 12lbs (7lbs lost - 3.5lbs to go) Birdmummy 10lb (5 lost - 5 to go) Butterflymad 10lb (1.5lb lost - 8.5lb to go) Clareel 4lb (0lb lost - 4lb to go) Corkscrew 10lb (3lb lost - 7lb to go)...

Chellibelle - would you mind posting what size they are (don't worry if not though!!). My immediate goal is to get into a pair of size 22 jeans! I can get them fastened, but only by having a significant proportion of my tummy over the top of the waistband!!

Well done the losses so far! My weigh in is tomorrow but I am rural so likely to be snowed in still. Bit gutted as I like to go and get my 'reward' for being good!

Oops - crossover with birdmummy Birdmummy 10lb (0lb lost - 10lb to go) Corkscrew 10lb (0lb lost - 10lb to go) CurvyBride 10lb (0lb lost - 10lb to go) Dragoneye454 8lb (0lb lost- 10lb to go) Dreamslim 8lb (0lb lost ~ 8lb to go) Emmamb 14lb (0lb lost - 14lb to go) Emjot 10lb (0lb lost-10lb to...

Just realised - if I lose 9lbs this month then I am halfway to my target!

Oh good - I came looking for a Feb challenge! I'd love to lose 10lbs this month - 4 weigh ins in Feb for me, so that's quite ambitious right? Would love to lose more obviously but don't want to scupper myself! Corkscrew 10lb (0lb lost - 10lb to go) CurvyBride 10lb (0lb lost - 10lb to go)...

Websie - good question and one I am interested in too! Aesir - hello! Any new challenges planned for teh New Year? x

Hello all, I know I am a bit late to the thread, but could I join in please? I've lost three stone so far and would love to lose another six this year. I get married in June and want to lose the first three by then. Have we a list of the members and losses somewhere? I shall look for it...

Yay - I am so pleased to be here! I lost 5 and a half this week to take me to 18st 10lbs. Fatbegone - I lost a bit before SW, so will also get my 2 and a half award at 18st 9lbs.

3lbs for me this week - very pleased indeed! Well done everyone! Aesir22 11.5lbs (3.5lbs lost - 8lbs to go) arctic_blonde_not_grey 10lbs (6.5 lost - 3.5 to go) BarbaraBanks 7lb (1lb lost - 6lb to go) Beki 10lb (4lb lost - 6lb to go) Bubblensqueak 10lb (6lbs lost - 4lb to go) CharleyBar...

Well done everyone - especially you Arctic, only 4 to go this month!

Pinkelle - you lost 10lbs this week? Wow! Well done, that is amazing! In contrast, I lost just 1lb and like some others, was disappointed as I tried really hard this week. I do believe I will get a big loss next week though - so watch this space! Aesir22 11.5lbs (0lbs lost - 11.5lbs to...

Well done everyone who has started (and good luck those who have yet to weigh - or stayed the same!). I am away this weekend, so will have to try doubly hard to be good!

WifeyG, when did you start losing weight? Was it the 22nd of June - or was that when you started SW? 76.5lbs is amazing! Aesir - you'll do great next week, I am sure!

Greedyguts - have added you below. Charleybar - very good idea! I think I need to plan in some of these superspeed foods too. I shall have a look what they are, but am suspicious I won't like them! :) Aesir22 11.5lbs (0lbs lost - 11.5lbs to go) arctic_blonde_not_grey 10lbs (0 lost - 10 to...

Competing may be better - there are quite a lot of us on this thread already (not that it is a bad thing - it's good as lots of replies keep me focussed!). My first weigh in is next Monday too Wannabe - and spookily enough (it is Hallowe'en after all!) I lost 2lbs this week too! I would...

Well, I've had my last weigh in of the month and have lost.....wait for it.....2lbs! Ah - missed by target by half a pound! Not that I am unhappy with 10lbs off this month - very happy. Here's to another 10lbs on the December challenge! :D Good luck on everyone else's last weigh in! Aesir22...

Yes, well done! I need to eat more superfree, but I have to admit to not liking veg - which always makes losing weight hard!

Well done both of you! I have not got the week of to a flying start (though nothing bad) so I am not sure 2.5 is attainable this week either! :o

Sorry Wannabe-a-minime - I began typing my message and then was called away, so posted it when I came back. I didn't see your post before mine - was not meaning to be rude by not including you! Incidentally we have similar goal dates - yours is five days after mine, and for a wedding also by the...

Ok, I am in! 10.5 again for me I think, that would be great. I have my first weigh in on the 7th so that will take me up to the 5th of Dec. Aesir22 11.5lbs (0lbs lost - 11.5lbs to go) CurvyBride 10.5lbs (0lbs lost - 10.5lbs to go)

1.5 for me this week, which was better than expected, so am pleased. I need to lose 2.5 next week as it's my final October Challenge weigh in, so I am going to try and be extra good this week. I am also going to try and stick to my pledge of drinking two litres of water a day. So will update...

I just wanted to wish you luck too. I was in a similar situation five years ago (does not feel that long ago). I have PCOS and just the one fallopian tube (previous ectopic) and was struggling to get pregnant (for years). I'm a lot heavier than you too, and was told I'd need IVF but of...

Spangle - that's excellent! Arctic - not so good - I feel for you!! I am not looking forward to my weigh in tomorrow as I don't feel that I've done that well this week. Going to make a massive effort next week though to see if I can hit my Oct target. I'll update tomorrow after my weigh in.

Yes, you can see that you have lost on your jawline and your neck definitely!

Ooh yes, well done WifeyG!! Right then, I pledge to drink two litres of water every day next week (starting from Tues as Monday is my weigh in). We shall see if it can have an effect - then it will be my last weigh in on the 31st (Hallowe'en!). Majella - good luck for next week, chances are...

I was thinking, when our October challenge has finished, does anyone fancy going on to do a Christmas Countdown challenge? There are seven weigh ins between November and Christmas Day - what would you like to lose? I am thinking a stone would be fantastic (though hard as I have a big...

Well done Aesir!! Cooking on gas now. Aesir22 10.5lbs (7 lost - 3.5 to go) WifeyG 10.5lbs (2 lost - 8.5 to go) CurvyBride 10.5lbs (6.5 lost - 4 to go) arctic_blonde_not_grey 15lbs (9 lost - 6 to go) Spangle_2 12lbs (4 lost - 8 to go) Soupstone 14lbs (5 lost - 9 to go) tjamyo 8lbs (0 lost -...

One and a half for me this week. If I am honest I was a tiny bit disappointed, but it is only because I am so impatient to get my figures down lower. I would love to be between 18 and 18 and a half stone by Christmas, so every week counts at the moment. A bit of good news for me - I visited...

I don't really drink much water - what does everyone think? Does it really help? I am not really telling people in real life that I am dieting. My mother-in-law is visiting for a few days - and I am having to be sneaky about my diet! Aesir22 10.5lbs (4 lost - 6.5 to go) WifeyG...

Ooh, just noticed I am a quarter of the way to my target. Now that is nice (even though I have a long, long way still to go!)

Well done Majella and Aesir! :)

Yay! Another 2.5 down, which is a nice milestone for me as that takes me under 20st, to 19st 12lbs. It's a nice barrier to go under. So... Aesir22 10.5lbs (2 lost - 8.5 to go) WifeyG 10.5lbs (2 lost - 8.5 to go) CurvyBride 10.5lbs (5 lost - 8 to go) arctic_blonde_not_grey 15lbs (7.5 lost -...

Yes, well done everyone! Wonder what the total loss for all of us added up at the end of the month will be? In fact, I just added it up and if we all achieve goal it will be 102.5 lbs! :eek: It's my weigh in tonight - so wish me luck!

Everyone is doing really well! I've had a good week other than last night. I am taking Chinese cookery lessons (great timing hey?) and cooked what I had learned (sweet and sour chicken and chow mein). Not exactly SW (too much oil and sugar)! It's just one meal though and otherwise I have...

Flipping heck - 7.5lbs - wow, well done! I am very envious indeed! :)

Well done for the 2lbs! Ah, so if your first weigh in was to be this Friday your last weigh in would be the 4th of Nov? That way everyone does get five weigh ins! Aesir22 10.5lbs (2 lost - 8.5 to go) WifeyG 10.5lbs (0 lost - 10.5 to go) CurvyBride 10.5lbs (2.5 lost - 8 to go)...

Shall add you in Tjamyo. Aesir22 10.5lbs (0 lost - 10.5 to go) WifeyG 10.5lbs (0 lost - 10.5 to go) CurvyBride 10.5lbs (2.5 lost - 8 to go) arctic_blonde_not_grey 15lbs (0 lost - 15 to go) Spangle_2 12lbs (4 lost - 8 to go) Soupstone 14lbs (0 lost - 14 to go) tjamyo 8lbs (0 lost - 8 to go)...

Welcome Soupstone! Well, I've just got back from my weigh in and I lost 2.5lbs, so: Aesir22 10.5lbs (0 lost - 10.5 to go) WifeyG 10.5lbs (0 lost - 10.5 to go) CurvyBride 10.5lbs (2.5 lost - 8 to go) arctic_blonde_not_grey 15lbs (0 lost - 15 to go) Spangle_2 12lbs (4 lost - 8 to go)...

I'm always fascinated by what size clothes people are according to weight and height. Mainly so I can think, "ooh, if I lose x amount, I'll be a size y!" For example, I am 5'5" 20 stones 3lbs size 24 top and 26 bottoms. Anyone else want to share?

Well done!! Think the photo of you against the fence in your wedding dress is fab as well though :)

Yes, well done Spangle, 4lbs is brilliant! Arctic_blonde_not_grey - I think it is ambitious but will not be surprised when you do it! :) My first weigh in is on Monday. May go and add a mention of the challenge onto my sig! I am up in the night with a poorly toddler. A comforting snack...

I know we were talking about sizes last week - well I bought a new top in a size 24 - yay!! So that means at 20st 3lbs I am 24 top, 26 bottoms. I am recording it as I think it is interesting when you are losing weight to see what size you might be, and when!

Well, 10.5 also sounds good (not to mention ambitious!) to me, so count me in! Aesir22 10.5lbs (0 lost - 10.5 to go) WifeyG 10.5lbs (0 lost - 10.5 to go) CurvyBride 10.5lbs (0 lost - 10.5 to go)

Good luck with your weigh in Sarah! I got weighed on Monday and lost 4lbs this week :D. Mind, I only lost a pound the previous week and felt I should have lost more, so I think some of the loss rolled over! (My username was previously Hobbit, but I felt I needed a fresh start!)
