Hi all, can i join please? I have so much to loose - i'm embarrassed to say - but i think that i will just see how i go. I did lose 2 stone 5 years ago, but have had a child since and all has gone back on and then some!
I had my 1st weigh in (boots scales) and i have lost 5lbs, which i am so chuffed about, and i must admit it's not been that difficult.
My weaknesses are: chocolate:crisps:biscuits, mainly.
Anyway love the thread and the whole site really, very compulsive!!
Will aim for 2 1/2 stone by end of may (family holiday). Here goes!! xx:money::money::money::money:
I love to save money0 -
oooooohhhhh can I join too? 7lbs in a month seems loads - only lost 4lbs this month!
(well actually, I lost 5lb, but then put another on this week!) But I'm up for a challenge!
Would be great if you guys could squeeze me in!

That is good going.
Today I have walked for an hour and a half as well as my trip to the gym, I'm just about to do some weights and 50 lunges. I've eaten very sensibly too, I had a lovely stir fry for dinner and haven't snacked. Let's hope it continues!
