    Thanks Dragon x
    Please put me down for 14lbs x
    I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
    Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
    I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over and through me. When it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
    When the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

    Hi Dragon,

    Can you please add me for 5 Kg ! Sorry, I still think in decimals, after 30 years in the UK!

    Thank you.

    Will weigh myself tomorrow morning for an accurate baseline.
    Finally I'm an OAP and can travel free (in London at least!).

    Big BIG thanks to the lovely ragz who's gone beyond the call of duty and put up with us and our quirks for so long, she's a real :staradmin
    Round of applause for ragz..hip hip :T, hip hip :T, hip hip :T


    Thanks for volunteering Dragon and stand by your beds everyone - you seen The Dragon's sig?! :eek:;). Just one thing, is the 'buffed, toned and SEXY' a promise? :D

    Will wait til weigh-in on Friday before I decide where I need to go, the gym has scuppered my weight loss and although I'm getting toned the lbs have come to a standstill, for now...

    Sweet dreams

    Thank you Ragz for all your hard work in the past x

    Thanks Dragon for volunteering :D At least now I can say - 'no sorry cant have that cream cake or I will have to report it to the Dragon' lol

    I am going to aim for a 1pound a week which will bring me to my goal of 1lb below 10 st. So 12lbs for me please.

    I have not been recording my eating as it is still a bit hit and miss. Have ordered a scale with my Amazon vouchers which should arrive today.

    B - oats ss milk
    L - chicken noodle soup
    S - chicken and veg stew type thing (all sorts) in slow cooker

    need to get back into habit of water drinking and have filled my bottle. I dont have any snacks with me so hopefully will resist the canteen however I noticed (for the first time yesterday) they do actually have fruit as well! (Right next to the crisps lol)

    Happy Hump day everyone.

    Thanks everyone :o - I have really enjoyed running the challenges for the last year, it's been great fun and definitely helped keep me on track (though it may not show!). Although I will be focusing on my studies now I will still try to get on here every day.

    Huge thanks to The Dragon and good luck to us all for the next challenge!

    I will aim for 7lbs please. One day I will actually manage to reach my target (even half of it would be a result!).

    I will post the final results of this challenge on Friday, The Dragon will be running the new challenge from then so we'll all be on a shiny new list :D
    June Grocery Challenge £493.33/£500 July £/£500
    2 adults, 3 teens
    Progress is easier to acheive than perfection.

    that's 11 pounds - so no problem there (and if you need to post in kg that isn't a problem)
