Oh, just wanted to add.
The weekend was HARD! Being home with the kids, preparing their food, getting them snacks and treats, went to a party, being bored etc etc. It was really hard for me. It's so much easier during the week at work.

[rainbowjoy]

Well Done Liz!! That's so awesome, we did so well and I'm proud of us!!! Not long before we'll be skinny minnies!!

Good luck for the week ahead!

Hi Ladies
How was your week?
I battled this long week-end. deviated a little bit everyday, not a lot, but a little bite here and there, and it obviously made a difference! It's so much easier during the week when I am at work, and I'm only going back to work on Thursday! I must pull myself together!
How was everyone's easter?

Wow guys you are doing awesome! Unfortunately I only just started cohens yesterday so I can't join in on your 4 week challenge, but please let me know if you do another one, would be much more fun to challenge myself with others!

Good luck for your 4th week!

Hi Onmyway, thanks for popping by, I think we should extend this challenge if you are keen to join. Maybe we should start a new one.

Here's my final update at the end of 4 weeks, i'm really happy with the results, even though I didnt have a good easter, a bit bummed, wonder where I would've been if I didnt deviate a bit... Anyway, I am still beyond thrilled.

Start Weight: 98.2kg
Goal: Into the 80's

Hi Ladies

I didn't have a chance to update last week so thought I'd do it now

Start Weight: 88kg
* 04/04 - 88kg
* 11/04 - 84.1kg = 3.9kg loss....yay!!!
* 18/04 - 81.7kg = 2.4kg loss
* 25/04 - 80.0 kg = 1.7kg loss
* 02/05 - 78.7 kg = 1.3kg loss
TOTAL LOST: 9.3 kg gone forever and ever!!!!

I'm so proud of our awesome results, all that fat has just disappeared!!
I think maybe we could extend this challenge to 12 weeks & anyone who wants to join could OR we could do a fresh 12 week challenge? Let me know anyone if you want to do this?

Take care
Rainbow xx
