    Hi everyone! Dragon, I found out that I'm pregnant last night, which explains why the weight wasn't coming off as fast as it usually does for me. I won't be trying to lose weight now, but good luck to everyone that is. You can do it!

    Wow congrats :D

    Make sure you come back to check up on us though - so you can keep us all informed how you're doing ;)

  • Hey ladies! :wave: I forget to check in with my start weight yesterday but here I am and it is a MASSIVE (for me) 11st7lb - I should be about 8.5! -, although it was up one again this morning :eek: but am hoping that is just my scales :p so put me down for 11.5(161lbs) and I shall be doing my darndest to knock that down, if even just a few this month!
    Good luck to all you gorgeous girls this month and a great big congrats to phoenix_dragon, how exciting for you! :j But do keep us posting - I love having a reason to get my crochet hooks out!

  • Is it too late for me to join? I've just weighed myself after accepting that not all my clothes have shrunk and I'm almost a stone heavier than the last time I was on the scales.

    I've never had to diet before (I was one of these annoying people who could eat anything...) so I'm completely clue less, don't know where to start and have little will power on my own.

    Anyway, I don't know much about this challenge but I'm going to try and loose 2 lb per week in April...

    well we can help with support! and the challenge is more keeping yourself accountable to other people (namely the gang on here!)

    Thank you :D

    Admitting and accepting that I need to do this is a big thing for me. So if I can loose 7lb this month it would be a major achievement.

    Tonight I'm designated driver which will hopefully mean saving money and calories... :T
