  • I so wish i had just got off my bum when you and taka did. I could have been a bit closer to target than i am then. I need to be disciplined this time. No doing a week or two then giving up.

    Count me in again! Do you want the numbers reset to 0 loss or include last year's loss too?

    I've got 61.2lbs to loose (if counting from now) or 141lbs (if you include last year). I've lost 79.8lbs in total since the beginning of May 2010. :eek: :D

    PS GG... Please don't do mine in bags of sugar... its far to scary to contemplate! :o :rotfl:

    I was going to do mine in the SW 1lb lumps of fat - but WAY too gross!
    Seriously though, you should try putting the weight you've lost in a basket & try to pick it up. We must have been really fit to be able to carry all that about with us :)

    I don't think I'd actually be able to lift my equivalent in bags of sugar - its over 36kg!! It'd need far to many baskets anyway! :rotfl: I've lost the equivalent of a couple of full suitcases... :eek:

    So explain to me why ankle / wrist / hand weights seem to weigh so much when I try to use them? :o I mean I've lost ~5 inches from each thigh so I must have been carrying far more than that there!

    I do mini targets - every 7.05lbs lost = 5% of my total loss. 4.8lbs to go to hit the 60% lost mark. :D

    Sign me up again. 35lbs to loose. None so far, but then I have only been back on the band wagon for 4 days! If I hadn't fallen off it I'd only be 22lbs to go :(

    And wow Taka, 36kg is amazing. I don't think 41.5lbs is in any way shabby either GG.

    Got on the scales this morning, I was hoping for some change in 4 days of bunny food. Bit impatient I know!
