I will add the new people at lunch.
I am in a pretty big office and people are forever bringing in birthday treats.
Funny situation here a few of the staff have a little weight loss league going (sponsored by the company, with some Amazon vouchers as a prize) while a common table is piled high with sweets - that is really testing them
Was weighed at the hospital yesterday and have put on a kilo. Now admittedly I was fully clothed but still, I seem to be heading in the wrong direction!!!!
First rule of 'weight club'...
Always weigh yourself in the buff, after a poo and before eating breakfast. Also expurging your lungs of air, shaving and cutting your toenails all help
And having done a 10 mile run the night before, well that is what I do
I have to weigh myself at the gym as I dont have any scales at home, so am always dressed. I have found that if I weigh myself after my weights session I actually weigh more than before!! No idea why, must be all those pumped up muscles!
Do not know if you go morning or evening but weighting yourself at at consistent time is important. I can be 2 to 3 Kg heavier in the evening than in the morning. Liquid and food intake during the day can make that much difference.

Feckle,
500 calories a day net loss is 3500 calories a week which is 1lbs. So your right. I’ll be following the same line as you. 1lbs a week would be nice and ready. Heard many time rapid weight loss is a No No since the body does not get a change to adjust to the new ’normal’ weight and quickly slows down the metabolism to get the weight back on!
But then the type of people on this forum do not seem to have that problem. We just want to be a little bit nippier of the start line by a certain date.
SCharm,
You’re supposed to put down the weights before weighting yourself!:w00t:
Alas, my housemate has moved out and taken the bathroom scales with her... and the ones at work only work in mgs... so I may have to bow out, at least until the end of the month when I should be able to get a spare set from my parents!
And Pat - unfortunately I'm pretty sure I'm not going to make it to the Trigger now - managed to put a hole in my foot (think it was a blister then the skin tore away, yuck) last weekend which is still making wearing shoes and running pretty uncomfortable, so doubt it would appreciate 20miles of peak district bog! Have a good 'un though

I know what you mean Hes, I have to keep walking passed mine and ignoring them....it's driving me nuts having to go until NEXT wednesday (I may have had a sneaky peak alreadyOriginally Posted by Hes
I would quite like to join as I'd like to lose a few pounds but don't have any scales which makes it tricky. I may have to get back to you on this and see if I can get some without becoming obsessive. Perhaps I could lock them in the garden shed and only go in there once a week.
Anyway, good luck everyone.
