    Good afternoon everyone.
    I have had to buy another set of new scales today, so not sure how accurate, but I have lost 2 pounds,very happy with that.
    Thanks once again to Dragon for keeping score, and keep up the good work people :T

    Dragon - Could you please remove my goal of 20 pounds please? I'm still working on losing, but seeing that number up and knowing I won't be able to reach it by the deadline is depressing me. Thanks!

    Not a problem - I will put you down as a question mark so any losses still count towards the overall total :D

    12 stones
    next week.... :beer:
