    Well I was down 5 lb on April at the end of May but I went up a lb - gawd knows why - on the last day of May so Im starting off at 11stone 9 lbs - 4 lbs down on last month, so still heading the right way :) (If its any encouragement to others/newbies - I have a note that I was 14 stone 5 lbs on 3 June last year after 3 months of dieting)

    Hello, Count me in again for this month please. It gives me that extra bit of motivation! However can i do things a little differently...as I have fractured me toe last month :( and cant go the gym and do any high impact exercise and I dont have any scales im gonna look at my inches I lose this month. Planned my exercises that I can do which dont put weight onto me foot so hopefully with a strict diet and my mini exercise routines Ill still lose inches. The gym was my only access to scales so this is why i have come up with doing this plan lol :)

    Not setting a target of inch loss though cos not sure what would be reaistic so just going to see how I go. :) Took all me measurements today of my arms, thighs, butt, waist n chest so I know where im starting from! :)

    Good luck for this month coming too everyone!

    IF I can get down the full whack I will be 11stone 2lb at the end of June - which would be only 6 lbs above what the BMI chart says I should be :)

    Right, tomorrow is Day 1 of the diet and I'm determined to lose at least 7lbs in the month.
    We booked our holidays to Turkey yesterday and have 6 weeks to go before bikine-torture time!
    Good luck to everyone else! xx

    Hi Dragon,

    Can I join please. I followed the May thread and found it inspiring - so think it's about time I actually did something about my weight rather than just reading about what everyone else is doing!

    I weigh 178 pounds and need to lose about 40pounds (arhhhh!:eek:) However, setting a target of 7 pounds for the month seems so much more achievable than thinking of what I need to lose in total.

    So please put me down for a 7 pounds loss for June.

    Many Thanks - Dee
