I'll hold off on calculating the average as we are still getting people say that they are still playing...
We'll give the others a few days to realise that the challenge continues and make up their minds...

If anyone disagrees with these figures please let me know.

Reminder for Margaret next time:
The big thing with using the calculator is to remember to do as San suggested and put the current weight in the "from" box and the start weight in the "to" box. It is a bit counter-intuitive in my opinion...
 
Tuesday food:

nectarines
250g low fat yoghurt
200g blueberries
3 pork sausages
1 tin baked beans

That is what happens when I focus on trying to pick up the reigns here... I get side tracked and miss important things out of my postings...

Congratulations! :party:

Hey - great to see so many people back! Yay!

I am off to my 8 day road trip today - so me not posting doesn't mean I have given up - just have no internet access. I will try my best to post daily though.

Yesterday I had (naughty day)
B: lemon water & cookies
L: Krumplis teszta (potato, pasta, onion)
s: starbucks frappucino light & grapes
D: Cookies & grapes...

& NO gym - i was running around like a headless chicken - with so many things to do.

Have a great day everyone!
 
I know that you are on the road - and know how difficult internet access can be in that situation. I can picture you jotting down all your food and drink and then updating when you can. Don't worry if you have difficulty getting to a pc - I'll let you post those logs after the end of the week and still get points...

Have a fantastic trip.

Cheer us up by posting in this thread what you get up to... :)

Hey ladies,

Did okay today!

Marmite sanwich
100 cals of chicken breast
low cal crisps

WW meal and 2 hash browns
 
Just realized that I did not check in for a few days.

Okay, the bad news first. Was told by the doctor no exercising for a week. She stated no cardio, no strength, nothing that involves my back, hips, legs or abdomen, but I could do arm exercises... seems I went overboard with the exercising, trying to break my plateau, and have hurt myself. Saturday after I finished exercising about an hour later I had a pain in my right lower abdomen. By 6 that evening I could barely walk, hardly slept Saturday night, was to the doctor by Sunday morning where I was put on muscle relaxants and Ibuprofen 800g which I have to take 3 times a day. So there goes my exercise points AGAIN for this week.

Anyway, enough feeling sorry for myself, the show must go on, I must learn to take it easy, which is hard since I feel fine, but I have been warned by friends not to start exercising until my week is up, no matter how I feel, if the doctor said one week off, take it, before the next thing I end up hurting myself so badly one week turn into months.:ack2:

Find below the menu for the week so far.

Sunday

B: n/a
L: n/a
D: crab n rice, baked ham, baked turkey, Bahamian style macaroni, o.j.

Monday

B: tuna sandwich w/ lettuce and tomato, lipton tea
S: Kellogg Fiber bar
L: crab n rice, baked ham, baked turkey, Bahamian style macaroni, hot tea
D: raisin bran cornflakes

Tuesday

S: kelloggs fiber bar
L: crab n rice, baked ham, baked turkey, Bahamian style macaroni
S: kelloggs fiber bar
D: homemade roll and o.j.
 
Transparent - I am so sorry that you are injured. The points are always just for fun. You must follow doctor's orders... I would be the first to nag you to do it if it was just that you didn't feel like exercising...

If it is any consolation - I can say that nutrition is the key way that a lot of people have found most effective in breaking plateaus.... It is so easy for things to creep into the diet that either take our calories over or mess up our nutrition... It is quite possible that you will break your plateau - even when doing no exercise at all... The really unfortunate thing (apart from the pain) is that we get less calories to eat when we do no exercise... We are not burning nearly the same amount of additional calories so we have to eat nearer to our BMR.
 
Wednesday food:

500g Total 0% Greek yoghurt
3 tins apricots
nectarines
grapes
3 boxes s/f butterscotch
500g low fat yoghurt
1 pork loin steak with stuffing
400g mediteranean veg (red onion, courgette, peppers, tomato) cooked in the oven in fry light

1l sparkling water - orange
2l sparkling water - apple

I seem extra hungry today.
I was disappointed when my zumba class was cancelled so that may be why. Xris hurt his knee...
I did extra walking to make up my exercise... lol we walked via the hall and saw people that hadnt heard that zumba was off...

I just hope that salsa is on tomorrow...

Breakfast

Lunch
Grilled ranch McWrap from McDonald's
Vanilla ice cream cone (shared with my daughter, so I didn't eat the whole thing--she ended up stealing it for herself)

Dinner
Thin crust supreme pizza from Pizza Hut

Water throughout the day, one container of light strawberry Activia for a snack after lunch.

Wow! That would be fantastic. Well done!
 
CHALLENGE CHANGE

I've been thinking about injuries. Transparent has been told by a doctor that she should not exercise. Quercus left the challenge because he has sustained an injury that prevented further exercise.

If people are unable to exercise they stop burning calories via that route... They need to be more vigilant with their food because they will start to gain weight at a lower calorie level. The current structure of the challenge does not support them in this struggle.

I am going to say that if you cannot exercise because you are injured - you can claim the points IF you bring in your calories at an appropriate calorie level. That means that you have to count all your calories (food, drink, meals, snacks) and you have to work out the appropriate calorie level for weight loss. Remember that this is lower than the calorie level that is appropriate if you are exercising. Announce the calorie level that you are shooting for.

Since we already have injured people - I am going to backdate this change to Saturday 1st June - the start of this challenge week. If you are injured and have been carefully counting your calories you have hit lucky... If you havent - then now is the time to start.

Note - this is only as an alternative to exercise for injured people and not a way of gaining extra points or an option for people who do not like exercise and would rather count calories... Becoming more active is a key habit to acquire.
