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 :T0 -
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
