THE SALAD CHALLENGE - THE STORY SO FAR ...

We are only 2 weeks in since this Challenge started, (finishing our 3rd week tomorrow morning) and I wanted to share the story so far ...

Since starting this Challenge 2 weeks ago, we have had Over 16,000+ views, it's great to have that kind of support from people who are not doing the challenge and are tuning in each day to cheer you all on and monitor your progress, so well done to all of you !


To date we have had 22 participants in 2 weeks who between them have achieved a whopping loss of 63.25 LBS !!! That's all of this ...




In 2 weeks you have all eaten 200 salads between you ! All that green goodness and fibre going inside your body . Some of your culinary creations to share ...





In 2 weeks together we have drank 364 Litres of water !!!





In 2 weeks as a group we have done 61 hours of exercise in total !!! arty0049:arty0049:arty0049:





This post is to congratulate all the participants who have taken part in this challenge so far :clap::clap::clap:. You've all had some amazing losses and I know its been a tough challenge to follow , but you all persevered with your determination and focus and you saw some amazing results in the end . I wish you all the success going forward whether you return to the challenge or keep going on your own journey, I hope 2014 is a fab year for everyone and we all achieve our weightloss goals ! I myself have gained so much inspiration from you all since starting this thread. It has really helped me on my own weightloss journey, so a big thank you from me to all of you .

THOSE OF YOU WEIGHING TOMORROW FOR YOUR RESULTS, PLEASE READ THIS

What To Expect From Your Results

Just a quick word from me about your weigh in results every Monday. Please be aware that although we are all doing the same challenge, our bodies work differently and results may vary. The last time we did this challenge we had losses varying from 1lb to 5.5lbs in one week. Please do not feel disheartened if you have not lost as much as the next person, remember we are all different. I cannot guarantee how much each person will lose, not even for myself but I do know if you stick with it you will see a loss. If your result is not as much as you were hoping for, please remember that the number on the scale is not the only thing that is important. There are other factors that can affect your losses like TOTM, all these things should also be taken into consideration. Also you may see good inch losses even if you don't achieve a big number on the scale. The other huge benefit of doing this challenge is the goodness you are giving your body with all the fibre, exercise and water, the health benefits are huge. Some people (like myself) take 2 weeks for the loss to show up, our body sometimes is playing catch up with us. I have had weeks in the past where I have been really good on plan but the scales have not moved but the following week it catches up and its a good number. There are some lucky people where the loss shows up in the same week, we are all different.

So moral of the story is, please don't use the number to measure your Success on the challenge, there are so many other positives that you will come away with, which you must applaud and celebrate for yourself :clap: . I want everyone to be happy on results day (which is Mondays on this challenge ), if I see any doom and gloom faces , you'll get a flying kick from the bunny ! You've all been warned !

THE RESULTS SPREADSHEET FOR TOMORROW

ACHIEVEMENTS AFTER THE CHALLENGE

In the results spreadsheet which I will post up tomorrow with the group loss, there is a section on `Achievements after The Salad Challenge ' . When you report your losses to me tomorrow morning, please be aware we are not just celebrating the loss but also if you have entered a new stone bracket or if the loss has made you achieve a new stone award. Please make sure you mention this in the morning with your figure, this is very important .

Reporting your results tomorrow

Please can you all make sure you have posted your loss and achievements by 11am tomorrow. I did send a pm to you all about this, but this is just a quick reminder, because I will need time to collate all the data and do the spreadsheet. If anyone reports their loss in the evening then I will not be able to add their loss to the spreadsheet till the evening so please bare this in mind . Thanks everyone.

UPDATE FOR NEW MEMBERS PLEASE READ THIS ! for Mon 21/07/2014

Discussing uour results with other memebers

Weighing yourself at home or at group before next Monday

Weightloss results must strictly not be discussed on the thread with other participants, once the challenge has started, during the middle of the challenge or any other time before next Mondays results.

If any of you are curious to see how much you weigh just a few days into the challenge, my advice would be to keep them scales away as the figure might not be what your expecting, your body is still adjusting and making changes and like a lot of us it may dishearten you and lead you to a binge. Please try your best not to weigh before Monday. If you find you can't help yourself then please can you keep the figure to yourself and not share it with anyone here otherwise it will naturally cause everyone to guesstimate what they feel they should be achieving. As I've mentioned before, we are all different, so our losses will vary too. The best thing you can do for yourself is to stay away from those scales until Monday morning.

Those of you that have a group weigh in before next Monday, again can you please try and keep the figure to yourself until next Monday. I hope you all agree, we all need to support each other on this .
