Hello
Please could I join you, I need to lose 1st 2lbs altogether. I see there are five weeks left of the challenge so please could you put me down for 7lbs.
Back to school next week so hopefully cut down on the nibbling!
Looking forward to getting to know you.
Polly
Just to say there are now 4 weeks left - so if you want to change your target?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
