Weight loss Challenge

[Frozzie]

Congrats dede keep it up..

[dede]

I will try Frozzie
My plan is to keep going until I reach my goal weight, then I can cut down to maintain my weight.

[Amy :-)]

That and I have been pushing my self a little harder with lots of Jill climbs to get the heart pumping.

Jill must be very grateful that your getting lighter Mandi LOL
But in all seriousness, you're doing really well. Keep up the great work!

[dede]

Lol. Well Jack and Jill did climb the hill

[Wonder]

Well done Mandi that's a great effort.

I've finished my Dry July month today and will be weighing myself at the gym tonight so it will be interesting to see if I've lost any weight in the final week. Yesterday I was wearing a pair of work pants that are quite old and I wear all the time and they were extremely loose so I'm thinking I might have dropped a bit in the last week.

Good luck Wonder, it sounds like you've done really well And well done on Dry July

Yes they did Amy, but they were carrying a pail of water, I left my pail at home cause I didn't want to loose balance

Well I finally got my fitbit (yeah) and am setting it up now.  Any tips?  Will just do what I normally do for the next few days just to see what my normal activiity is then start ramping it up.  I think I am going to be shocked at how sedentary I have become.  Does anyone use it in conjunction with My Fitness Pal (calorie logging app/website), I just synched the two together so i will see how that works too.  I aim to loose 10kgs before 1st December.  We have just moved to a new house with a beautiful pool and I intend to make use of it this summer and not hide out because I am so uncomfortable with my appearance.  Today I become accountable.

That's great Medusa, you will love it and become more motivated as you get closer to goals. I also use my fitness pal to log all my food for the day so I can keep a good track at what's happening.
I will send you a pm shortly to invite you to join the other forum members with fitbits on the fitbit web site as that also helps keep you motivated seeing what others are doing too

Not happy with myself another week and no weight loss. I haven't been walking as much but go to curves 4 times a week, and use the wii fit 3 times a week. Hopefully next will be better.

Thank you I have replied (I hope).  How does it work with myfitness pal, does it just log your steps?

[Delightful Den]

Well done Mandi and Wonder. 

CP that diet sounds like a lot of work.  I find it hard just trying to track calories.

Jeninwa do not despair. If you have been in a deficit for a while it is natural for your body to adapt to the lower calories and slow your metastable down. Do you ever take a break or have a re-feed day?

[medusa]

Thank you for adding me to the fitbit group.  I am going to do my normal routine for a few days and see how sloth like I really am, probably going to be ashamed at how many steps I don't take but will ramp it up once I work it all out.

That's ok medusa, don't expect to much of your self to start with.
