Surely the dividing line is just north of Watford?

PS I'll be cheering on the southern team but not keen to be a member - too much pressure for me at the moment.

Hi All, had a shocking day and gave into temptation :eek: as I found out today that I am having an operation in 2 weeks time! I am really sorry but I am going have to pull out of the south team I and I don't feel that I will be able to diet properly and don't want to let my team down.

Hopefully not to much damage done on the scales, but will find out tomorrow.

Oh Vix and Beanie, you're so kind.

I'm fine -- just coping with the current challenge of running two schools in (theoretically) two and a half days a week. I seem to be at work every day, NOT what I'd planned, and in between am trying to provide practical hands-on support to DD and DGD now that the shiftless SIL has at last moved out.

So although I read the thread every day I don't always have enough time to write much.

I'm trying a change of diet to improve my hip pain too - as advised by the chiropractor - avoiding any wheat,oats and sugar. So far it's had an impact on weight loss, but I'm finding it quite awkward and restrictive so I wouldn't want to be actively trying to lose weight at the same time by avoiding other things too, IYSWIM. No dounbt someone really up in nutrition like the Erichmeister could explain the logic of why this should help ligaments to heal. I'm not sure if it's working but I'll try it for a bit longer.

PS I think the less notice the better, Vix. Then you don't have so long to worry about it.

Agree with Granny Vix.
Much better not to have time to think about it.
But them I am a wimp TBH.

Its just a routine operation that I have to have every couple of years, but it does not make it less scary!

Since I've started weighing myself after all these years, I'd like to join in the North/South challenge please!

Only trouble is, I'm from the North but have been in London for 6 and a half years now. Which side should I choose?!

I'm happy to join any gang.

Do you mind if I put you both in the South team as they're short of members now?

If anyone who has not already joined and would like to join in the challenge but don't want to reveal their weight please pm me - if there are enough there maybe a third team.

I'm all geared up to start. Got lots of fresh fruit n veg in to get going. Kids are gonna hate me for making them eat it


Hopefully this will give me more of an incentive with a wee bit of healthy competition.

Don't think I will have lost anything this week as i've been a bit naughty with crisps.

Now I think I've broken a couple of fingers with my bl00dy clothes airer. It collapsed and I tried to catch it, D'oh stupid move. 2 fingers and part of hand crushed in it. So am a wee bit sore and want chocolate now!!! Gonna have a wee bag of mini choc hobnobs before we start this challenge :rotfl:

Or maybe a banana sarnie instead.... nah last day, a wee bit of choc b4 we start :rotfl:
