    :o Not often I blow my own trumpet....... :o

    I'm still at SW and at weigh in last night had lost another 1lb, taking me to 2 st 10.5 lbs :D.

    Weighed myself and from my heaviest (on 1st evening at SW with clothes on) to this morning (after a wee ;) in my birthday suit) I have lost:
    :T:T:T 3 stone and 3/8 of a lb :T:T:T

    :j:j:j Go Me :j:j:j

    P.S Did you stand on one leg too ? That knocks at least another lb off ! :D
    I can't be bothered updating this anymore
  • That weight loss is amazing. ~Well done. Makes me wish i had knuckled down to it when we all said earlier in the year. I could have lost a couple of stone too. Next year when there is a bit less going on DIY wise.

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Offset over 10k (10.6) for 1st time since started getting kitchen done in April, another little milestone :j

    Shame the new doors will impact on that :whistle:

    3 bids on ebay, including the free Pictureka I got at the weekend, courtesy of a thread on MSE :D. Can all of you MSEers who are watching it to see how much they'll get for theirs go away please as lots of watchers always fills me with false hope :rotfl:. Bids on 2 other items and a watcher (hopefully genuine ;)) on FC dress. At least £16 coming my way :T
