Still going the right way Beyond

Sent Boop and Stellar pm about the Fitbit Challenge, if anyone else is interested pm me

[BitOutOfPractice]

I've messaged you back. Will it be a weekend warrior challenge. I do like them

[readyforsunshine]

I want to join the challenge please but will first have to get Ds out of bed & have him show me how it works
No w/e plans here, in the middle of GCSEs so revision, some cricket, dd may show jump on Sunday if I can be bothered to take her!

[leesmum]

BOOP yes a weekend challenge is cool with me 🏃🏃
Ready DM me when you're set up
Not much going on here today, bit miserable really, think I'll get the DS's out for a walk and drag them off PS4/Xbox etc

[HairsprayBabe]

I am going "out out" with the girls I went to school with tomorrow and then a recovery brunch on sunday, will probably gain 9lbs from all the boozing 😂

Saw them last in Feb and have lost about a st and 1/2 since then, so hopefully I will get another reaction haha!

Hey can I join?

5"4 and 11st10. Have a 10 month old baby and gained 3 stone during pregnancy
I've been gradually losing weight but would really like to get down to a healthy weight of 10"6. I've lost 10lbs in the last 3 months but it's just not quick enough.

I go back to work in 2 months and go on holiday not long after that so two motivating factors.

7lbs this month would be great and would mean I'd fit back into my pre pregnancy clothes at least.

I've been trying to get up before the baby in the morning and do an exercise video and then limit my calories to 1200-1500 a day but find it hard doing this all the time. Been wondering if I should start cutting out breakfast or trying to 5:2 diet, has anyone had success this way?

[TVHubbyClaire]

School fayre and music festival tomorrow so no doubt dinner will be from a food truck..I will try and find something healthy.....not liking chips works well for me in these circumstances

Nothing major planned for Sunday so hopefully a low booze weekend, two games of badminton this week but not as much walking and no running.

[WalkersNotLays]

Hey guys, can I join? Need to lose around 2 stones.

Weighed in today and I'm 11 stone 10, the lowest weight I've been in 2 years

Would be lovely for some support for the rest of the way

[Stellar67]

I've sent you a message leesmum. Although I forgot my password as I only use the app nowadays.

I'm down 2lbs this week. I'm in the mood now so let's hope it continues.

[Stellar67]

Welcome new people!

Good Luck with the healthy food search tv.

Have a great night hairspray.

So it's ready, BOOP, Lee, me in the challenge. I am not so keen on the weekend challenges as that's when I like to lounge

[leesmum]

Hi Kaytee and Walkers you're both very welcome here and you'll get lots of advice.

Stellar I've just sent you a friend request and BOOP I've given stellar your email so you can add her 👍🏃

[Squiffy01]

Ok 1 how do I PM someone? And what am I sending you to join this challenge?

[Squiffy01]

Also can it be done via app. As I've just logged on online and it tells me I've done no steps ans I don't know how to get it to sync.
Technology is not my friend.

[TooExtraImmatureCheddar]

Why why why when I change my goal on MFP from "lose 2lbs a week" to "lose 1 lb a week" does it not change my calorie allowance?

[TooExtraImmatureCheddar]

Oh wait, have worked it out. Apparently you aren't allowed to go under 1200 calories but being a shortarse I need to be v low in calories if I don't exercise much.

Btw, I lasted 1.5 days on the Jillian Michaels plan and have been eating everything since Tuesday. Restarting dieting on Sunday.

[leesmum]

Squiffy just sent you a friend request on fitbit 👍

[user1494340956]

Hi, everyone can I join too fairly new to mumsnet I have about 2.5 stone to get rid of 😩

[poorpaws]

Oh bless you Squiffy you asked exactly what I want to know. I don't understand technology and although I love my Fitbit and use it daily I don't understand the friend or challenge things 😊

[amysmummy12345]

Right I did my first official weigh in at the gym earlier, 11st 11lbs, BMI 29.(something or other)

I'm going to use just the gym scales once a week for consistency.

My neighbour and I managed 30 lengths swimming and treading water for 7minutes.

Hairspray you have done amazingly so far!!!

[leesmum]

poorpaws send me a direct message and I'll help you to get there with your fitbit and join our little gang, there's no rush 🤗

Amysmummy that's some swimming, is that about half a mile or am I way out?

[HairsprayBabe]

10.7 rats, bought a huge bag of nuts to be split carefully over the next week in lunches and salad etc.

I ate almost 3/4 of them last night mindlessly watching Gilmore Girls on netflix oopsy!

[fedjj]

Can I join please? My ds is 18 months and I've lost the weight I put on with him but need to lose another stone to be a good weight for my height. It's half term and I've been eating really badly. Back to work on Monday and would love to lose half a stone this month

[Softpebbles]

I've messaged about the weekend challenge although currently sat in a towel so not active at all!! X

[WalkersNotLays]

Just back from swimming and going to meet a friend for lunch. Still weighing in at 11 stone 10 so will stay off cocktails today to avoid the scales going back up
