Not sure when we have to get our results in, will check on the other thread but it's my weigh in day today and I've lost 1.75lbs which I'm pleased with.

How is everyone else getting on? Fingers crossed for a good loss Mrs C and LadyVT sounds very sensible.

Anne? You out there?

**LadyVanT** · 11-03-2011, 06:46pm

Well done on your loss Carrington. My weigh in Day is monday. Is that ok? I've been good so far this week and have just got back from a run in the rain, which is something I never thought I'd do. Must say I di enjoy it tho. Have also downloaded a calorie counting app to track what I'm eating so hopefully that will help too. Now just got to be good through the weekend

**Anne** · 13-03-2011, 01:47pm

Im here, honestly! Im not on any particular diet but trying to eat healthly and am doing the exercise. Monday is my weigh in day, so will login tomorrow and update.

Well done Carrington, keep it up!

**LadyVanT** · 14-03-2011, 06:38am

Whoo hoo! Lost two pounds, am thrilled with that. Good luck everyone else with your weigh ins

**Carrington** · 14-03-2011, 08:58am

Brilliant, LadyVT!

I had a reasonable weekend, got a cold

and lost my appetite so didn't eat over calories but am annoyed as I feel too ill to be doing my exercise which is proper

How was everyone else's weekends?

**Anne** · 14-03-2011, 04:33pm

Sorry you're not feeling to good Carrington, I lost a pound, not bad really considering the week Ive had! Hope you feel better soon.

How did the others do I wonder?

**Mrs Cheeso** · 14-03-2011, 05:18pm

I WI tonight so will report back later and just hoping I don't let the team down as you've all done so well

**Mrs Cheeso** · 14-03-2011, 10:28pm

2.5lbs off for me

**Anne** · 14-03-2011, 10:40pm

Well done Mrs C, we have had a fantastic week on our team

**Carrington** · 15-03-2011, 09:19am

Fantastic losses Mrs C, Anne and as a team overall - brilliant, well done.

It's my birthday today and I don't expect to have a perfect day but my appetite has still not come back fully so hopefully, there will be some damage limitation.

I will go post our losses to the other thread.

**LadyVanT** · 15-03-2011, 06:48pm

Well do everyone, and happy birthday Carrington, hope you have a lovely day.

**Carrington** · 18-03-2011, 08:55am

Thank you for the birthday wishes and yes, I had a great day really really lovely plus some family time, a very enjoyable day.

How is everyone doing so far?

It's my weigh in day today and I've lost 1.25lbs. This is probably something of a miracle after my treat filled birthday, but I didn't feel up to touching alcohol and I think this really packs on the poundage for me.

Two pounds to go to meet my monthly target, not sure I'm going to do it as this challenge has been a short one, but I can but try.

Hope you all have fab weekends and that we can make week 2's results as great as week 1s.

**Anne** · 20-03-2011, 07:42pm

Evening all, weigh in tomorrow for me, I dont feel as if Im being too good this week, I keep snacking and its ruining my efforts. Ive been to the gym and swimming this week, but I dont think it will be enough. Toying with the idea of joining the slimming club at the gym or slimming world. the girls at work is doing the latter and is having alot of success.

**Anne** · 21-03-2011, 12:57pm

Hmmm, Im a maintain. Bit disappointed, maybe my long awaited Af is going to arrive, been missing for two months now

**LadyVanT** · 21-03-2011, 06:05pm

0.5 off for me. Not too concerned about it been a small loss because I had a stomach bug last week then I've been a bit naughty at the weekend and had take away and pizza

. Back on track today though and will be starting to exercise again tomorrow so hopefully a bigger loss next week. Good luck to everyone else

**Carrington** · 22-03-2011, 09:33am

Anne, I've been a bit like that had a lot of stress this week, due to one thing and another and the diet has hit the skids a bit. I'm finding now that my weight is acceptable, that it's definitely harder to keep motivated and lose that extra stone that I want gone.

LadyVT, sounds nasty hope you are now fully recovered stomach bugs are awful. I'm sure the pizza didn't do much damage as such because you've been ill you've not been taking in your normal amount of calories so it will all balance out in the end. I'm the Queen of Diet Justification!

Hope you're OK Mrs Cheeso, I've added our results to the main thread here, if you could pop yours on there too t'would be grand.

**LadyVanT** · 28-03-2011, 07:09am

I'm much better thanks Carrington. And i've been more focused this week and have lost 2 pounds which I'm very pleased with. I'm hoping to lose more this week but a bit worried about how I'll fit some running in because of the way my husbands shifts are this week. I'm sure I'll find a way though. Good luck to the rest of you ladies
