    Hi guys. I gave up a bit in the last challenge due to illness/Christmas/stress etc, but with it being January and all I think I will give it a go again. I would like to try for 10 pounds for 12 weeks.

    I haven't weighed myself recently and would not be feeling too confident today as my monthly friend is here, but I have kept up the gym reasonably well over Christmas and overall my eating hasnt been too bad since getting Christmas day over with! So I don't feel too obese within myself at the moment. Will post a starting weight in a day or two once my bloating has gone down. Sorry, that is definitely TMI!!

    My savings: £4878.54/£7000
    Joint account savings: £2685.57/£3000
    Total:£7564.11/£10 000 (as at 26/10/14)

    Ok, faced the Christmas damage, am 84.3 Kg (13st. 4lbs).

    I am chasing the elusive 79.9 Kg (12st 8lbs).

    So can I be put in the challenge for 10 lbs (have I done the maths right?) in 12 weeks, it should be feasible even for me. I hope.

    Hello, can I join in please.
    I lost quite a lot of weight about 16-18 months ago by joining you all on the challenge, I then stopped joining in and have put it all back on, plus a little bit more!!!!
    So, this week I'm back to portion control and trying to increase my exercise. I'd like to try for 14lbs in the 12 weeks. Will weigh myself tomorrow and post as often as I can. Good Luck everyone. x

    Got your target Caterina and welcome JackieO and DaisyDayDream!
    Must use my stash up!

    You don't need to post a starting weight unless you want to - I have your target loss and that is sufficient :D
