    I fell off the wagon in April :o had too many stresses and strains but back on the horse today, and signing up again to get to my goal! I need to check in to the thread every day too, I think, to keep me in check. Good luck everyone!

    Hi, can I join this month please? :)

    I won't post my starting weight, but I know what it is. :o

    I'm going to focus on making healthy eating choices, exercising, and drinking lots of water.

    Hi guys (she shuffles in the room head hung low) :wave: so last time I was in these 'ere parts was around the beginning of April :o and through lack of dedication & regular popping in for support I am unhappily 1lb heavier than I was at the beginning of April :o:o

    So starting weight for May is 9 stone 9lbs, am determined that by the end of the month I WILL be 7lbs lighter.

    Now I was wondering - when I gave up smoking I used to go on to the thread & get some moral everytime I nearly waivered - can I use this thread like that?

    I hope so so that's what I'm going to do & make sure I'm running every other day - am training for a 5k run in 2 weeks so may be a bit more than every other day for 2 weeks :j

    Ok that's the inner ramblings of DNMS! Good luck everyone x
