Well done to everyone who completed the April challenge :j, and a warm welcome to all newcomers! (if I forget to put you on the first page list - nag at me until I do :rotfl:, oh and you don't have to let anyone know your starting weight unless you really want to!)

Here goes for another half stone challenge! Don't think of how much you'd like/need to lose, just focus on losing those 7lbs for May! See, it doesn't seem so bad, does it :D

This is a useful site for tracking your weight, food etc

http://caloriecount.about.com/cc/account/index.php

You set up your own target by inputting weight, height, how active your lifestyle is, and any medical conditions. Then each day you keep a food diary by inputting what you eat, and also an activity log. The site works out your calories for input (food) and output (activity). The idea is that you keep the input between 500 and 1000 cals below the output, but without dropping below the minimum food cals set by the site for your lifestyle etc. And best of all the calorie count site is free!

If you're interested sign up here and lets help each other :T

Remember - It's 2010 and there is no more IF but WHEN!!!

    I am getting back on the bandwagon. I have been a lazy old c0w and really need to get my fat 4rse in gear. :( I have said this MYSELF because it needs to be said but I would give anyone else who did a black eye! :rotfl:

    Here's to a smaller me. If you don't see me here, please PM me and ask if my 4rse is still huge! Thank you. (I promise I won't give YOU a black eye!)

    Can I please join? I had a HUGE weight gain in the first half of last month :mad:, but have managed to get it almost back down again to where I started :j! I would love to lose 7 lbs in May and I actually feel really determined this time :A, I have a totally different mindset - BRING IT ON :T:T:T
