    Hi everybody,

    Weighed myself this morning and have put on 3lbs :( TOTM arrived on Boxing Day, when at the in-laws (how lovely) and I'm sure this has something to do with the gain (not all the beige food!)

    Really can't remember the last time I had some decent fruit and veg that wasn't a) wrapped in pastry, b) soaked in alcohol or c) cooked in goose fat, or a combination of all three!

    Looking forward to joining the next challenge please Mrs Dragon. Can you put me down for 7lbs please?

    Thanks everyone.

    Welcome to the gang :j, are you wanting to join in on the 12 week challenge starting on the 5th? (I wasn't going to force people to weigh in over Christmas and New Year, I may be a Dragon but I ain't that cruel! :rotfl:), if you do want to join in I need to know how many pounds you hope to shift between January 5th and March 29th :p

    Put me down for 24 (I'm working that out at 2 lbs a week) I've signed up for the Cancer Research Dryathlon for January hope to raise some money for a good cause and steer clear of the booze should help shed a few pounds too.

    Must get more organised as I had a disastrous day eating yesterday mostly because we have nothing left in the house. Shopping Sunday and salad stuff on list.

    Dragon - many thanks for continuing to keep us in order. On your list i think you have me down for Molly 14 - but Im Moly 41 but want to lose 14 lbs 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.
