Lindaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa !

The bunny demands you come back ! atback:

You have not messed up anything hun. Having a day or two off plan will not wipe out the 4 days of goodness that has gone inside your body. You have done 4 brill days on the challenge, and on Turbo mind you, there is still Sunday to go, so you can have another day on plan and pull back on syns, drink loads of water and I bet you will still see a loss , it has happened in the past with others too. I won't force you, see how you feel at the end of the day hun, but my advice is, its till worth fighting for .

I've not been very adventurous with salads this week, due to time constraints and latterly not feeling very good due to bad totm but have still enjoyed them. Am glad that tonight I'm allowed a small amount of pasta as feeling the need for something a little more 'solid' in my tum.

Well done L , you've done a fabulous 2 days ! Your salad pics look super yummy to me, don't know what you mean by not adventurous ? Well done on hitting all your targets. You've had a tough week with TOTM, but have still stuck to the plan, so hats off to you for not caving into any cravings . Only one more day to go now, woohoo ! I can't wait to see how you have done on Monday . Good luck for day 7, hope you do super ! xx

SAT 27/09/14
UPDATE - THE SOUP CHALLENGE

Hi everyone ,

Just a quick update from me. I have received a few pm's from some members regarding the guidelines for the new Soup Challenge and what to expect ? I understand that there is only 2 days between the challenge starting now. I have been working on the thread this week and have decided to stick with a similar format to the Salad one. Quite a few reasons for doing this. I feel it will be easier for people to switch over because its a format everybody is used to and understands and the format works, so I didn't want to reinvent the wheel so to speak. However there will be areas that are specific to The Soup Challenge, and it is important that you read the guidelines fully and understand them once they go up tomorrow.

The new Soup Thread will be up tomorrow. I will be posting the link to it tomorrow on here as well. If you have any questions regarding the challenge, I will only be able to answer them tomorrow as I am still trying to wrap it up today. Hope your all ready to kick some butt on Monday ! Speak soon.

Thanks - a little scared but need something to give me a kick!

 

[Poppet12]

Going to take today as a day off I think. I'm still sw friendly but I can't face a salad for my tea and I had carbs for lunch. It's a shame as I wanted to see the 7 days through but life's too short to be grumpy and eat bad food!
I've done the exercise and water bit though. Do I still post a summary thing?
I dont think I'm cut out for a salad challenge lol. Might take a week off challenges and see about this soup challenge, much more my thing :-D xx

Today was a lovely day but not on plan - will try 2moro but we're eating out for lunch. Think I'll pass on the soup challenge next week as I think it'll be tough enough to try to stick. Will join a future challenge when I've sorted my dieting head out!! Thx again for all ur hard work and good luck to u all on the last day of the challenge!

You put so much work into these challenges Kay and I want to say thank you! You're so dedicated and I for one have appreciated all your support this week, regardless of what my scales say on Monday!
Eating at OH's parents tomorrow eve. They did fruit salad for pud last time and his mum knows I am on sw so I'm hoping I can leave any carbs, maximise meat & veg and I am determined to hunt out a salad for my lunch! Fingers crossed Doncaster tomoro is healthier than Rotherham today. Hope everyone has a fab day 7 xx

Really looking forward to this soup challenge . Thanks Kay for all your hard work x

UPDATE - SUN 28/09/2014

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 !

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.

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 .
