Full Version: Team Challenge - Weekly Challenges
Hello team members
I am 56 and joined SS a few years ago. I lost 2 and half stones that time and the having gained it back lost it a second time.. Here I am having put some of it back yet again. I have an additional problem now as I have a spine problem which I have had surgery for 18 months ago and am having more in 2 weeks and then again in the future. Its limiting my ability to exercise which is frustrating as I love walking. I still manage to teach ful time and am pretty busy. Anyway, I want to look after myself and give my body some T.L.C. as in not carting round so much bulk.
I can relate to so many of your stories and look forward to helping motivate you through the challenges.

Ooh, Katie, are the all house cats? I've got two and they can be a handful!
Anyway, I've managed a minimum of 60mins exercise over the last two days (mostly walking but at least I'm moving!) and I'm just about to go and post my three things for today!
I'm loving reading everyone's stories. I recognise a lot of them and it is reassuring to no you are not the only one!
Have a good day folks! x

Thanks Bookhunter, I thought you had to complete the challenges on the Monday.
Challenge one- I allready introduced myself however I did not say what I wanted to gain from the challenge. I go to Benidorm in 7 weeks time, a girls holiday as my sister is 40 and my mum is 60 this year!! I'd like to look the best I can in that time as I know I won't be at target. I'm hoping the challege will give me that extra kick up the buttocks!! I also think the support we will all gain from each other will give us extra motivation!!
Challenge two- I have planned my exercise for the week, which I have posted allready. I will go and find it as done my 45 min jog yesterday so will need to update it!!
Just got challenge three to do.
How is everyone getting on? xx
Challenge three- I took dinner and snacks to work with me yesterday to stop me buying convenience food
I weighed and measured everything from my cereal to my fruit juice.
I encoureaged the young person I was working with to do the wii, giving me a little exercise for the day!!!
I think I have completed all three challenges now
Xx
Especially those in team2!!!!

Shall we say 10 bonus points?
Everyone, please post if you reach milestones - you deserve to be rewarded. Also a loss of 7 pounds in total during the challenge will earn 50, so if you lose steadily, you'll earn bonuses for your team.

Challenge complete. I've coloured my hair (much needed!!) and just had a lovely hot bubbly bath. Loved it!! I usually have a shower for quickness.
Brilliant challenge shirls!!
At weigh and go today and I lost a pound this week
I have noticed I hadn't written out challenge three - I bought a new notebook and have written everything down, weighed everything and had two different peices of fruit each day this week as I was getting into a really bad habbit of always eating bananas as they are always to hand and easy to stick in your bag if your going out. I've had strawberries, oranges, bananas, melon, kiwi and pears!
Loving the challenges as it has really made me focus on the pep more.
Crazy well done on the jog.
Rebelsue enjoy your time with oh parents.
Summer sun hope you have a brilliant night out and the hangover isn't to bad tomorow!
Ann w I enjoyed my bath aswell. So relaxing
Kateyboo ooooh a head massage, how lovely. You have a very nice hubby!!!
Away to bed to keep my head out of the fridge

Hi there guys, I'm Elaine and I have just joined Team 1
I'm sure I have shares in Scottish Slimmers as I have gone to class on and off for the last 20 years
I have just rejoined class tonight and I am determined that this will be the last time and that I WILL get to target this time
I have been at target before but unfortunately put it all back on and more. I was diagnosed with an underactive thyroid but cant even use that as an excuse as since they have got my thyroxine levels sorted out there is no reason that I cant lose weight
I have one kidult who is tall and skinny and can eat anything and not put on an ounce of weight so its great staying with him
I am not into these fad diets where you only get shakes etc as I like eating too much (hence thats why Im overweight) so I know SS is the way to go along with introducing exercise into my life

Challenge one - to fit into my size 16 jeans. I can get these jeans on but if I sat down I think they would split at all possible seams
Challenge two - I will walk through to the next village on Friday afternoon which is 4 miles
Challenge three - I am going to go to Zumba classes on Saturday morning. I have toyed with going to Zumba classes for a few weeks now but havent yet plucked up the courage. My fitness level is 0 so just scared of not being able to undertake the class.
Good Luck to everyone in Team 1 and all challengers
