    I did say that the first one to post it gets the dance of the day:D

    It was the theme for Catherine Tate I think but just the music. I love it, probably because I say it quite often:o. Not that anyone is whisking me off on horseback though...

    Hi shoegal - I too am starting again after just messing about for the last few weeks. Only problem is - I've got 4 meals out this week (work night out, son's birthday, wedding anniversary, mystery shopper meal) - life always gets in the way doesn't it! Will need to choose the meals that will do the least damage - that's the plan anyway ...

    Good Morning everyone.

    Both myself and MrJ have set our next target for the forthcoming 10 weeks so I shall be clearing the spreadsheet as we have come to the end of the first challenge.

    Well done to those who have managed to keep going for the 10 weeks:T

    If, like me, you have waivered a bit:o then fear not! A whole new challenge is about to start so there will be less of you by the summer.

    I can either:

    A) Start the spreadsheet again with everyone telling me their new target

    or

    B) Carry forward any losses so far and keep the original target.

    Just let me know what you want me to do:A

    Come on Lads and Lasses!!!!!
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    Can you carry forward my losses please and put my target loss in for 50lbs. I know it's more but looking at it the other day if I only do 36 I won't lose all I need to lose.
    ** Total debt: £6950.82 ± May NSDs 1/10 **
    ** Fat Bum Shrinking: -7/56lbs **
    **SPC 2012 #1498 -£152 and 1499 ***
    I do it all because I'm scared.

    Right, this is what I have done..

    In the spreadsheet (In post number 1 for those of you who dont know) I have edited it so that all weekly figures have been cleared but I have carried forward everyones losses so far.

    I have cleared mine, MrJs and ShoeGirl back to 0 with our new target.

    Would those of you still doing the challenge have a looks at the SS and see if you are happy with your target displayed and if the weigh loss so far is OK.

    Anyone else updating this weekend I will add that onto your carried forward figure.

    Any new people who would like to be added please let me know as the more the merrier:T

    Dance of the day..........
