Mad as a March hare or dozy like a dormouse?!

[BecauseImWorthIt]

So the challenge continues.

March has 4.5 weeks. You can aim for 2lbs a week, or the more dozy 1lb a week - either way, that's a good loss for the month.

Any plan/diet is welcome - just sign up here for the solidarity/support/encouragement/kick up the backside (delete as appropriate).

We don't use actual weight (unless you want to), but a points system. If you're joining us/starting from tomorrow, you start on 100 points. Every pound you lose is one point gone.

You can weigh in as often as you like, but just remember to update the list!

Here's the list from February - please add your name and c+p it into the next thread:

(what's the points thing about BTW? Bit confused.)

The points thing means that we're all on a level playing field - we're looking to lose 4-8lbs this month.

Some people were a bit sensitive about declaring their actual weight, so this way we're all 'anonymous'! So it doesn't matter if you weigh 20 stone or 10 stone - you start off at 100, and then if you've lost your 8lbs, by the end of the month you will be 92. If you've lost the 4lbs you'll be 96.

Does that help?!

And welcome, by the way!

I'm up for another month (or five)

Can I join? 12wk old baby has left more than his mark.

first day of cambridge diet

I am ready for the next month. I don't think I'll manage 2lbs a week, so I'm going for a round half stone again... Which would take me to 75... That would also take me under the next stone boundary which would be great...!

Hello all,
Am so ready for March! It's quite sunny today - there's a hint of Spring in the air, finally, and that's means summer is coming. Really want to feel less self conscious this year, so bring it on. Expecting everything to slow down a bit, now. So this thread is going to be really good motivation to keep going. Thanks, BIWI

OK ladies, i've been doing well so far, but this morning woke up and feel like a fat frump . I have 16lb to shed until I am no longer officially 'overweight' and it has been about a decade since that was the case. I feel like I'm stuck and never going to get there.

Hello all

Ok, time to get serious again as I haven't lost anything in February. ( haven't gained either but definately getting too relaxed since my early success!)

No bread
More water
EXERCISE

Posting my weight loss since January, to make me feel better

Oh - sorry to hear that, Brollyflower. I kind of know what you mean. I've got a lot more weight to lose than you, but it can still just feel overwhelming and as though you'll never get there.

I got some advice to take it a little bit at a time. Set small goals - concentrate on the success of losing 2lbs or whatever your target is for the week, not on the rest of it. So I try to focus on that and not think about the bigger picture.

You will get there! [smile}

OK, I've lost 6lbs in total for February, and I will take on the 9lb challenge for March.

Just saying hello and marking my place. Will weigh-in tomorrow. February wasn't a huge success for me but I still lost about 4lb I think. Need to try a bit harder this month!

Thanks Quibbler .

I've had an utterly shit day. Not to do with weight or food, just totally overwhelmed by life (3x dcs under 5 inc one 3 month old). Feeling v alone, but managing, so far, not to comfort eat. I think maybe my feelings about my appearance are to do with generally feeling suffocated at the moment.

Pasta with tomato sauce and prawns for tea, yum.

You're right of course, just need to focus on the 2lb I hope to lose this week. Then I'll be the lightest I've been in 7.5yrs .

That's something to aim for Brolly!

I'm very excited, as have today taken delivery of infamous shirataki (sp?) noodles. These are carb-free, calorie-free and I'm assuming taste-free

They were featured on the big fat diet show, in December I think, and have pretty much been sold out everywhere online. I have finally got my sticky little fingers on them and am greedily anticipating wagamama style noodle dishes. I really do miss my pasta, rice and noodles - much more so than sweets or chocolate as I haven't got a massively sweet tooth.

Anyway - apparently they've got a pretty odd texture and are somewhat of an acquired taste, but I'm going to give it my best shot. If anyone has used them before or has a fab recipe, do let me know.

Hi can I join up please, am 40 in May and I REFUSE to hang on to my excess weight for that. I have been loosing and gaining the same 7 pounds for ever and have about 28 to loose in total.
2 lbs a week is achievable for me when I am motivated, I just need to work to the small goals I think and not get freaked out by the big one, I think. So hi everyone

Hi you guys have inspired me to finally jump on.Started Low Carb today.good luck everbody.

Hello ladies - I regularly join weightloss threads and then do badly at keeping up. But I woke up this morning feeling springy and determined to be skinny.

I'm going to WW on Thurs. I measured out my porridge this morning. They are small but important steps I think .

Can I take the liberty of posting myself on the list, please?

Hello everyone over here on our shiny new thread. Good luck to everyone for March.

BecauseImWorthIt - Thanks for starting the new thread.

Welcome to all the new joiners.

theQuibbler - I'll be interested to hear what the carb free noodles are like. Visions of a stir fry with noodles come to mind, yum!

Well, I stayed the same again this week so that's 2 weeks on the trot now staying the same.

I've just realised I didn't change this with my last loss 2 weeks ago so here it is
