    Hi Shoe Gal... I've come to weigh in, but first of all just wanted to say well done on your achievements in the last 6 months:j:jFantastic! And good luck for the next 6 months!

    Start date: 1st November 09
    Starting weight: 17st 2lb
    Target Date: 22nd May 10
    Target weight: 14st 2lb

    So I'd like to lose 3 stone for my Dad's wedding in less than 7 months ( I don't even know if this is possible :confused:). I joined the gym on friday and I'm aiming to go 4 times a week. I know there'll be weeks when I can't make it 4 times but it should be doable most weeks.

    I shall be weighing in on the 1st of each month.

    Hi Bowski

    Welcome to the weight loss gang :D I think 3 stone in 7 months should be doable - less than half a stone a month

    Day got off to a bad start - no electricity in half the flat when I got up :mad: Landlord was good and had it fixed by lunchtime - but no fun getting ready for work in the dark :rolleyes:

    Very busy at work but managed to leave on time - and got to the post office at lunchtime to sent statute barred letter recorded delivery

    Have been OK foodwise but have been picking at toffee this afternoon in the office - and have just eaten houmous and breadsticks :o Only trouble with being home early is eating dinner early - and being hungry again later :rolleyes:

    Haven't exercised - and don't feel like it :mad: Have promised myself 3 times a week though - managed to do a DVD yesterday. Am thinking of getting a 6 week gym membership - but not sure and funds are tight this month :confused:

    Am in a real spending mood - I have birthday money and could spend it about 4 times over :rolleyes:

    Do not make rushed decision, sleep on it, htink hard for a few days & try to imagine which one will give you the most pleasure.

    Did I not read earlier that you cancelled your gym membrship as you didnt use it ?

    Do you actually need any clothes or shoes, do you really need to spend the money now, would it not be better to save it for the sales so you can get more for your money :confused:

    Not being mean, just trying to be helpful :o
