LL, thanks so much for all the effort you put into the charts etc, it's really appreciated.

Can I ask to be added to the August challenge please as I don't think it's on the chart. Do I need to add myself to the list when you put it up for September, is that how it works?

Also, why does it say 2 pound weight loss at top, is that the aim for each week and 5 for the month (I know the maths doesn't work there but you know what I mean!)

Thanks for your patience, you've must've explained this loads! x

Hi Bails - thanks for your thanks!

I hope Erlqueen's response answered your questions (thanks Erlqueen). I just wanted to add that the 2 pound weight loss club title was a parody of the 2 pound coin saving club, which is another thread (in Debt Free Wannaby I think).

Many of us would like to lose 2lbs every week, but in reality that doesn't always happen, so even if we don't lose 2lbs, it's still possible to achieve the monthly target of 5lbs.

Hope that helps

Evening all :hello:

Thanks everyone for adding to the list for the August challenge.

Here's the chart for this week, and also the final week of the July challenge. Lots of people achieved the target this time (including me ) - Ajax, Bindiboo, Brighton Belle, Efrieze, Emptypocketz, Homealone, Juststarting, Lubo, Mistywoo, Newlywed, Suggs, Vixx and Victory (even though she's at target!) - so well done everybody, good luck for next month. :j

There are three slimmers of the week each losing 3lbs this week - well done Bails, Rustynash and Starlight. :T

The August challenge ends exactly four weeks from today, on Wednesday 29th July. I'm also going to start a Slimmer of the Month award as suggested by Efrieze, which will be announced when I do the final chart of the challenge on the 29th.

Have a good week!

Hi Jaycee, great nickname!

Yes, of course you can join, you're very welcome. Well done for losing 10lbs so far, that's a great result and yes it does count, I'll add it to the chart. Do you want to join in with the August challenge, which is to lose 5lbs by 29th August? You'll have no problem, at the rate you're going.

Sorry to hear you weren't well, hope you're feeling better now - make sure you drink plenty of fluids so you don't get dehydrated.

I haven't had a single one so I cheered myself up today by buying 3 pairs of size 10 shorts with MrP's money (that'll teach him!!!!)

That's OUTRAGEOUS Petrichor!! Congratulations on your fantastic achievement and I'm sure you look GORGEOUS! Is there any way of posting photos on here? You could then show us a before and after if you felt like it.

Happy days, size 10 shorts! I think they'd fit around one of my legs lol! x

Now that I've caught up with all the other messages, it's reminded me that I can dip in whenever I need to, which is now!

I'm really getting quite uptight about this wedding/ several days away from home. I tried on both the dresses again this morning and wasn't quite so happy with them (prob because I slept v badly, part of my illness, but logic doesn't help so much in these situations!). I'm finding it difficult not to be in control of my food choices and of course there's loads of alcohol around...

But I am trying and I think that if I manage to maintain this week I will have done really well considering. I'm also going to arm myself with some Elderflower fizz that I discovered last night - may sound horrible but it's actually really nice, from Tescos). I put it in a wine glass and I almost felt like I was having a real drink!

Don't want to let it spoil the wedding for me though, want to keep things in perspective and all that. Hopefully I'll be able to write a more positive post soon (it'll help when my lovely man gets here in a couple of hours - he's been working away all week - he can always calm me down and tells me I look beautiful, bless him ).

Hope you all have a lovely weekend whatever you're doing xx

Hi bails...

Never try a posh frock on without doing your hair in a similar way, and putting a bit of makeup and jewellery on. Oooh and shoes too.

It makes a huge difference how you look and feel about the dress
