Well done to everyone who completed the previous challenges :j, and a warm welcome to all newcomers! (if I forget to put you on the first page list - nag at me until I do :rotfl:, oh and you don't have to let anyone know your starting weight unless you really want to!)

Here goes for another half stone challenge! Don't think of how much you'd like/need to lose, just focus on losing those 7lbs for June! See, it doesn't seem so bad, does it :D

This is a useful site for tracking your weight, food etc

http://caloriecount.about.com/cc/account/index.php

You set up your own target by inputting weight, height, how active your lifestyle is, and any medical conditions. Then each day you keep a food diary by inputting what you eat, and also an activity log. The site works out your calories for input (food) and output (activity). The idea is that you keep the input between 500 and 1000 cals below the output, but without dropping below the minimum food cals set by the site for your lifestyle etc. And best of all the calorie count site is free!

If you're interested sign up here and lets help each other :T

Remember - It's 2011 and we will soon be in 7th Heaven :D

    Count me in again for June, I am determined to shift some of this weight. (starting weight this month 226 lbs):eek:
    Wouldn't it be nice if we could just have a tap attached to our body to drain the fat away.

    Me too please, I went missing last month as I tried (and failed) to stop smoking but I'll try to behave this month.

    Am thinking of revealing my weight in the hope of shaming myself into doing something.
