    Can I join up too?

    Can't have Mr Squidipa as the sole representative of the men of the forum can I?

    I started about ten days ago - starting weight 154kg, target 105kg.

    I lost my legs somewhere between kick # 734092347 and jab # 438982364
    But I loved every second. I think I may have overdone it a bit, because my right thigh feels like I streched something. Luckily I have the weekend to rest it.

    I'm holding up on the eating department too. I should probably cut down on the fruitjuices but it gives me that sugar that I crave after a meal.

    Jas - DH is eating like that now, not diet, just cutting out all the ekstras and only eating one plate per meal etc. He's feeling better already. He used to drink 2lt of Coke A DAY AND 4 Redbulls He have not had any Coke or RB this whole week. I'm proud of him.

    Bjrose - nice going for the fat burn pilates. I have never done pilates, but somehow I don't think it will sit with my idea of a work-out. I need sweat, heavy-metal music and some finely toned instructer shouting " YOU CAN DO IT " And I agree with exercise helping AF cramps. I did not even know about AF when I was fit before dd.

    Krysalyss - Bummer on the injury. As long as you keep moving and motivated, it won't get you down.

    CM - I tried your waist/hip stance .. and yeah, my elbows are at my navel (smallest part of my waist) and my wrists lay nicely on the top of my saddlebags (biggest part of my butt). EEEEEKKK about working at KFC. Sending you steel willpower vibes!!

    Off to my first diet weekend. Tonight we are having calamari (fried ) and salad. I told DH that I'm only going to eat 6 pieces and fill up on the salad and beetroot and have a fat free yoghurt for dessert. Not to bad.

    Goodluck with the weekend everyone!!

    Hi everyone. Sounds like you are all going so well.
    Tomorrow is the last day of week one. So just to remind you that anyone who wants to get results posted in the summary post should pm them to me (including originals if you haven't already). Otherwise I will likely forget someone as this is far more popular than I thought!

    Well weigh day for me tomorrow so fingers crossed. See you all then.

    Wow, lots and lots of keen beans in here. Hooray!

    Nadine, I just LOVE your energy and enthusiasm.

    Me - well, my goal is to run 4km every second day (and feel like my jeans fit nicely), but this week, with this weather, I just couldn't do it . Anyway, I finally went this morning and did 3km, I felt OK. I did my measurements too:

    Weight: 68.5kg
    Bust: 96cm
    Waist: 87cm
    Hips: 108cm

    So I guess I'd like to get to 65kg. I doesn't sound like much but for me, moving those last few kg are like trying to move a mountain (made of granite ).

    Hi guys. I am so happy as I lost 600g this week despite the lack of exercise. That takes me down to 67.8kg which is amazing. I am lighter than I was in high school so yippee!
    My goal this week is to lost 1kg as I am back into the exercise. But 67.5 is my first goal with the reward being a haircut and dye. So even just 300g would be awesome.
    Anyway hope everyone is great. Welcome to everyone who has joined in.
