Sorry, didn't weigh this week. Just on way home from London now
Fab weekend but so tired! Nailed the 26 miles, though!

Down 2.2lbs - 277.4lbs. 33 days - 4 weeks and 5 days to 21 June. Fingers crossed I can do 14lbs total.

Well done, Ali.

I am going to "skip" last week. So hoping for a loss come Friday.

I've slightly lost track of myself! But I think that's a loss... not quite as much as I'd have liked. But I also know that there was A LOT of sugar consumed during Trek, alongside the calories burned!

You've done well..you might lose more this week that your body is a bit more relaxed.

 

[AliGal]

Just 0.8lbs down this week - to 276.6lbs. All good.

Morning. I've decided to take a break from weighing, so won't be posting in the challenge at the moment.

Lots going on and I think staying off the scales for a bit is going to be better for me.

Will still be rambling in my diary, so feel free to pop by. And I'm sure I'll be in a better frame of mind for future challenges

 

[AliGal]

Take care TT. I look forward to see your posts on your thread.

2 weeks left - so hopeful I can get to 15lbs. My weight loss each week is very variable - mostly down but occasionally up - so the next fortnight will tell.

Thanks Ali, good luck for the end of the challenge.

For me, I'm trying different variables, so it doesn't feel right to look at weight alone. I know that I want to build muscle at the moment, so the scales were never going to be the best representation!

 

[Ravenous]

I am the same. I have been trying different things but it seems they aren't working for me & I am gaining rather losing. Therefore I am going to go back to my own tested & trusted methods & giving myself until September to lose 1 stone, I have gained over 1.5 years.
It is much easier when you are trying to lose than when you are maintaining.
After losing & getting to target, I managed to maintain for 4 years and then started gaining & now I am at the point that I can't stand the gain any longer and have to take serious action - not going to starve myself but be mindful of what I eat and the snacks.

 

[Torn_Tranquility]

Sometimes it really is better the devil you know! I honestly believe so strongly in the power of mindful eating, and recognising genuine hunger

 

[AliGal]

13lbs/15lbs down. 2lbs short. All good.

 

[BravingABikini]

All right, I'm back! Regretting the decision to make this only a short challenge now that I disappeared for most of it, but nevermind.

Since my last result, I'm down 5lbs. Previous weight was already a messed up result as I'd been eating carbs and put on 3lbs in water weight, so the net difference is down 2lbs since the beginning of the challenge.

That means I maintained through the walk, and then I've dropped a couple of pounds since Sunday. Although it doesn't seem very impressive, I'm very happy with how weight loss is going at the moment.

Let's see if I can get a few bonus pounds off by the last weigh in!

Bab - 14lbs to lose, lost 2lbs, 12lbs to go - Saturday
Ravenous - 18lbs to lose, lost 1 lbs, 17lbs to go - Tuesday
Aligal - 15lbs to lose, lost 13lbs down, 2lbs to go - Tuesday

 

[BravingABikini]

Happy start of summer to everyone!

To round off the challenge I put on 2lbs this week. Totally expected as I finished the week by eating carbs so water weight will be involved.

Anyway, not my most successful challenge as I'm back where I started, but I'm in a good place right now with fitness and life. Looking forward to a great summer!
