    Hi all - I would like to join. Have just finished Jan challenge - only managed 5lb but am pleased and still feel enthusiastic. Am determined to loose weight, but am happy to do it at a slow but sure pace. Am convinced when I do 'quickie' diets it goes back on and more so. I know its exercise I need most but I always use the excuse I haven't got time. Good luck to all!
  • Lost -1/2lb for the last week of the January challenge so -9 1/2lbs in total. Aim for February now -4 1/2lbs.

    Well done to those who lost weight, wooooooooooooo! :D

    And welcome to the newbies. :)

    I am so determined to eat properly today. I weighed myself again last night and my body fat came out at 29% instead of 25%, !!!!!!! It was on carpet mind, so that might have made a difference. I'm going to do it again tonight on the wooden floor and see what it says.

    I will get 7lbs off for Feb!

    Hi Folks, I weighed in today for last day of Jan challenge and start of Feb.

    I lost 4lb last month - which isn't great, but at least it has been in the right direction, and I've had a difficult month with eating out a lot, so I'm pleased to have got under 12 stone and stayed there.

    I am supposed to be flying to Turkey tomorrow. We are forecast more snow overnight, so not even sure if the planes will be taking off!

    Hope your flight is ok LazyDaisy!!!

    To those who are disappointed about losing less than half a stone - don't think that way! You still lost weight, sometimes under trying circumstances. Be proud!!!

    Someone tell me to go to the gym as I am not in the mood but should really go...
