Advent Calendar Girls 10 Week Challenge!

1lb down for me, creeping down to my goal :) Hopefully I can make that in the next couple of weeks and then maintain until the new year where I'll set another target.
Hey - only 3 lb from taregt! That's fantastic.
 
Dont worry I dont do valentines either but I plan on being at target by then which is why it popped into my head!

Unless you all want to do a ninnins birthday challenge lol
 
Well, pleased to say that my strict red week paid off, and I managed to get not only my undeserved gain of 2.5 pounds off but another 3lbs as well! So 5.5 in total :D :D :D I am now a healthy BMI as well - I'm so chuffed!

I think this is now where I am with this challenge:
Advent Calendar Girls: 20lbs (8lbs lost, 12lbs to go!)

Really doubt I'm going to make my challenge target with only 4 WIs left to go, but I'm going to aim for 2lbs a week which would take me close :)

A Valentine's challenge sounds good to me! It's my birthday just over a week after, and I am determined to be at target by then.

Thanks, hon! :) Got to say, I did feel really blue, but so pleased with myself for turning it around and having such a good week.

Fantastic loss this week, way to go!
 
Thanks, Taniau! :)
 
I'm in for the valentines challenge :)
 
I am back in the fold after being a bit distracted and demotivated for a while :wave_cry:

I weighed in -1.5 lbs last Saturday and -0.5 lbs today.

I've been quite disappointed with my losses for the last couple of weeks, and am not going to be able to achieve the goal I set for this challenge, but I think that 20 lbs in 10 weeks was rather too ambitious. Or maybe not... I dunno...

I'm still sticking around though!!
 
I'm with on the zumba front, though supposed to be at a class now, however having reached target I celebrated in true style by falling down the stairs!!! Cracked my neck, shoulders, mid back and top of pelvis on the last four stairs :cry: it was bad yesterday but today is even worse! No partying for me yet :(

Did you get the dvd set or an individual dvd?
Ouch! Sending (gentle) hugs! I got the full set with the sticks. So far I've done the basic moves, the 20 minute workout as a trial and the Cardio Party (3 times). I'm slowly getting the hang of it!

Blumin' 'eck! 5.5 lbs is fan-tab-u-loso.

Yay - I agree! My maths is sort of working!!!
 
Ladies & Gents - I am currently on a speedy internet connection at the moment (and off to Cornwall soon where I will have no connection!).
So even though I know there are still a few who will report in later I'll post the update as I have it so far week 6.

Please excuse any errors as
a) I'm on the little netbook so I'm not used to the tiny keyboard anymore
b) I forgot to transfer the spreadsheet off my laptop to this one - so I'm hoping I have everything right!!!

Goes to who_la_hoop for the mega 5.5 lbs loss.

But there were a few in hot pursuit - Ellebear with 5 lbs; Krupskaya and littlemeercat with 4.5 lbs.

Well done everyone though there have been some amazing losses this week.
Plus 2 more reached target. Well done Trango and errrr me!

2lbs in 2 weeks in nothing to be disappointed by, my average is pretty much 1lb a week and here I am 108lbs lighter, they soon add up.

PS dont worry bout not meeting your challenge target-ive no chance of doing mine either! its just something to spur you on, not to beat yourself up about for not reaching
