    I somehow managed to lose 6.8lb this week! I've been on my feet and active for 8+ hours every day so I guess that has helped more than I realised.

    I've posted a couple of previous weigh ins but not sure if they're being recorded or how I go about joining the challenge?

    Hello all!

    I too would like to jump in on whats left of this challenge. I have tried many diets all of which resulted in major weight gain when I stopped following them. I have finally learned that nothing beats good old fashioned healthy food choices, portion control and a sensible exercise plan.

    I am starting off gentle and aiming for 1lb a week (and hopefully can increase once I am in the swing of it and the new challenge starts)

    I do not wish to reveal how much I need to lose at this stage...lets just leave it at "I am horrified with my weight"

    Hope you are all well :)
