I'm crap at planks @OwlinaTree! I'm getting better all the time but God I hate them!

Well day one was quite easy, just do three plans, so we'll see how it goes from there!

Well done Owl My real nemesis is push ups, arms shake about like a morris dancer every time!

I've done day two which was a bit harder, I can feel it today!

Hi everyone! Plank challenge sounds exhausting owl - I've heard good things about it though re core fitness etc. I will live vicariously through you 😆
I had a sneaky early weigh and 'seem' to have dropped the pesky pound that I've been holding onto for 2 weeks, which would mean a stone off in total. BUT I am going away on Thursday for a couple of days and fully intend to eat all of my favourite foods- posh fish and chip restaurant and curry house booked 🤣

Get your weigh in before you go diege Hope you have a lovely time

Weigh in early Thursday then before you go! I'm off on holiday on Saturday, looking forward to a break - and lots of ice creams!

Ha yes that's the plan! 😂
It's the first time I've been away without the kids (other than a night or two for work) in 6 years, so really looking forward to the break! Older dds (19 and 18) in charge 😩
Hope you have a great time Owl!

I hope we will. Enjoy your child free time diege.

Diet kicking in here, I'm starving for my breakfast!

A pound off here (thank God - couldn't bear to STS for a second week) so that makes a stone off in total 😊 Going to celebrate by relaxing things food-wise for a day or two while on my mini-break. Also going to collect my engagement ring! 😍😍😍
Good luck to all!

2lb on for me. Los of eating at the weekend though and due on too so I'm just about ok with that! Still only just over my target so all is good.

Well done diege, that's great! Enjoy your trip away and the engagement ring!

Well done diege How exciting about your engagement ring!

Sts this week again. Not fussed though because my inches are still going down. Half again for my stomach and waist and about a quarter from my thighs.

Managed after some headscratching to add some more columns to our spreadsheet so we're good till the end of August

That's great news on the measurements snitch, much more of a result than on the scales in a way. Thanks for adding to the spread sheet too. I'm on holiday next week, so won't weigh in then.

Good news snitch and diege! Pound off for me but I’m on holiday now (well from tomorrow but I’m already face first in a cheeseboard)

Thanks guys. It's best for me Owl I got down to 8 and a half stone last year and still had rather a lot of belly. Hoping the exercise will allow me to get away with carryng a few more pounds and not have to go to the very bottom of BMI to get where I want

Oh dear 1lb on for me this week. I did weigh a bit later in the day than usual though (I forgot it was Thursday!), so I could use that as an excuse.

Congratulations on loss of weight and gain of engagement ring @diege!

Thank you for tackling the spreadsheet @MrsSnitchnose I was meaning to fiddle with it myself before today.

My 2 boys have been away all this week with their father - I imagined living on salad and being very active .... I've been lazing about a lot and tonight I had pie and chips from the chippy!

I think the 10lb I have lost includes a few I put on in the first 3 weeks of lockdown, before starting this, so have probably only 'properly' lost 6 or 7 lbs really. Never mind, still feeling good about this!

Don't beat yourself up @LimeJellyforBrains everyone needs a break sometimes. So jealous of your time away from the kids. I've had one night away from DS for 12 years feckless father

Hi everyone! Had a great trip away - will definitely have put a few pounds on, and now have to curb the tendency to carry on the good life! 🤣 Eldest daughter's birthday today and couldn't resist an M&S strawberry tart...then crisps... Need to stop!

Glad you had a good time!
Hope you got some sunshine too!
I'm away again this weekend and not really back until Sept other than a day here and there. I think I'll probably just leave weighing until Sept and then assess the damage then 🙈 we're on active holidays so hopefully it won't be too bad🤣🤞🤞

Weighed myself then forgot to post!
I'm delighted to have stayed the same 🤣 which is a real achievement after my gluttony when away.
Am I the only one weighing in? 😩 Hope everyone's ok! 😊

I weighed in too @diege but I thought no one else was so I didn't bother posting! I'm down a pound this week Great result for you, hope you had a good time

I'll keep going to the bitter end, even if I'm talking to myself 🤣
Well done on the loss! Hope I'll do the same next week!

I gained loads ... and I’m drunk again.
But well done everyone else!
