Friday normally - but I will take a Monday weigh in (some people weigh on a Saturday etc), I normally post the lists on a Saturday and Sunday but sometimes into Monday so that would be fine.

I've got that Valerie, the challenge officially starts tomorrow and the first weigh in will be a week today (namely the 10th)

I'll move to Fridays, it'll be easier. So tomorrows weight is starting weight?

As well as being easier, it also often gets you a better result

I used to weigh on a Monday, but as Saturday and/or Sunday were the days I was most likely to overeat a bit, I would often be a pound up on the Monday.
I know it doesn't matter in the long term, but I'm much happier weighing on a Friday, it gives me a boost after being good all week

and yes, today/tomorrow is starting weight...off to fill in my diary!

That's the one! As I say though you don't have to tell anyone on here your starting weight - just each week let us know your loss (or gain!)

I'm not too fussed about sharing the number, though it's still loads over what I want, I already reduced it by 32lbs in 2013, so it's been much worse!

A good day so far.
B muesli and Greek yogurt
L frittata
D soba noodles, wasabi, veg and salmon.
Snacks - piece of biscotti left from Xmas and a couple of satsumas.
Exercise - trip to gym.
I am set up on MyfitnessPal so here goes for the next 12 weeks. My problem is all the gorgeous Christmas stuff still hanging around. I am planning to allow myself a treat on each day I do exercise but keep within the MFP calorie allowance. How are you managing the leftovers?

Can I join too?

I am aiming for 28 lbs in the twelve weeks! I've got more to lose but that would be a really good start!


This website is great! I'm sorting out my finances and my weight all in the one go!:j:j:j
