Will weigh in tomorrow

Hi Theatregirl,

Glad to hear you were part of the same research... :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

That must have been some day for you, working a triple shift ... I take it that it takes a while to get home as well...:)

Oh yes indeeeeeeeeeeeeeed *dies*
Not bad with travel tho, 35-45 mins each way on a normal day.

Today was a bit longer though as I had to walk to the train station this morning due to cr*p Saturday service (25 min walk), quite fancied it though as it was a nice morning here.

Got the Wii out before work this morning, only to find I'd put 1lb back on I'm so pleased that officeguru and others have done the 'research' on the new chocolate bars, so I don't have to buy one to try it out and if it's so addictive it's just as well or I'd have put yet more lbs back on;)

Well onward and upward, and getting ready for the next challenge.

Well weighed in this morning, have lost the 1/2lb I had put on from Godknowswhen, so.......I'm back to where I started at the beginning of the challenge!

Sigh! Ms KW Can I change my target to 5lbs instead please? Oh and when is the end of the new challenge going to be?

Is this you final weigh in for the challenge MrsCD?

Hello. Can I come and join you, please?

I was a regular on this thread a few years ago and lost quite a lot of weight but, after a year-long illness that left me confined to the house for weeks at a time, I put most of it back on again. I'm now better but am having problems shifting the podge I gained while sitting looking wistfully out of the window and eating cake to cheer myself up.

It looks like you're just starting a challenge, so this might be a good time for me to come back, if y'all don't mind? My overall target is to lose 10kg (22lb), and my target for this challenge is 5lb (2.3kg) - I tend to weigh myself in kg as that's what my scales measure in, but I'll convert back to lbs for consistency with everyone else.

I look forward to meeting everyone I don't know, and chatting with those I do - I recognise a couple of names from the last couple of pages of the thread (:hello: sparrer and DundeeDoll).

Hi, I've been lurking here for months and months I thought I'd just post and let you know I'm here.

I've lost a lot of weight over the last 2 1/2 years but I've still got the last annoying bit to go. I don't really want to say a certain amount I'd like to lose in the next 13 weeks. More like I'd like to lose half a stone by next May when DD2 gets married. But if it helps, put me down for 2 lbs. I know that doesn't sound worth it but I'm at the stage where I lose a pound, put two pounds on then lose them again and eventually after about a month I'm down a pound or two.

The main thing though is not to put it all back on again. I've done that twice in the past but now I'm 60 I'm running out of time to keep playing that game!

If it's 13 weeks I might up mine a bit, if you don't mind - I thought it would be a month or so. Can I put myself down for 11lbs / 5kg, please - that's just under a pound a week, which should be do-able even with the music festival I'm going to in a couple of weeks' time.
