Well done everyone.

Edit - amended result one the formulas missed a column.

Bookhunter, are the results and threads etc ok the way ive layed them out? Ive got a thread for exercise and a general chat thread and then Im guessing the results need to be posted on the main team thread!?

Im getting confused!! haha but theres heaps of stuff going on on the forums which is brilliant!!

love it!!

xx

Thanks for organising all of this Bookhunter and captaining Sue

The results can be posted anywhere and I will find them. It's up to you how you organise your threads. We're just having one to make it easier.

I was hoping the thread challenge would make the forum busy again and it's been great today.

Coolio!! Yeh it's nice to see it busy!!

Roll on rest of the week xx

I agree - it's nice to see the forum busy - well done girls xx

Morv.

Hi Morv,

You are in Team 2.

Today's weigh in counts as your start weight so you will need to post your first weigh in next week. You can still gain points from the challenges and exercise.

Results update

Team 1 325 points (3 weigh ins done, 4 left)
Team 2 260 points (2 weigh ins done, 4 left)

Well done everyone!

Good news team-mates. My weigh-in this morning showed a loss of 0.9 kg. The measuring tape showed great results too. Good luck to everyone in both teams with their weigh-ins this week too.

Well done Anne

Everyone did brilliantly on the challenges.

Week one full results are as follows.

Team 1 have 455 points, Team 2 395 points

Em, i shouldn't have maximum for weight loss - only lost 1.5lbs....... x

I need to make the spreadsheet bigger or add some conditional formatting! Yes, you're right and it says 40. Still brilliant though.

Hey how is everyone doing???

I lost 1/2 pound this week!!

Well done team 1 winning this week, but beware team two's going to whip your **** next week!!!!

COME ON TEAM TWO WE CAN DO IT!!!!!!!!!

You know I've just been thinking, theres a few people struggling just now and I think one of the problems when following the plan is eating the same things all the time.
Maybe we should post one thread for both teams to write down what they have eaten each day or to plan each days menu! Giving people a chance to look at various menus and maybe pinch ideas. Also allows others to check up on what you have eaten!! So no cheating

Just a suggestion, see what you all think!!

Hey crazy

there is already a post similar to this which i use all the time, sometimes i get a bit lonley in there lol so it would be great to have people join it may be of use to you

Another successful week on the scales and with the tape measure. I have lost 1.4kg in weight amd 1in off my bust and 2 ins off my waist. I celebrated by buying a smaller size skirt. Pencil cut and size 16 and it fits perfectly.
Come on everyone, if I can do we can all do it. This is a fun way of being part of a team and being able to contact each other when it suits us and our lifestyles.

Well done Anne that's a great loss!!

Keep going - and enjoy wearing your new skirt xx

Results will be posted as soon as I have checked them. Didn't get on yesterday.

You must be close to target now tho and it gets harder, you've been working hard, stick with it - and i'll listen to my own advice also hahaha
