    Hi, can I join in too?

    I really really need some motivation to loose weight, I need to lose about 4 stone :eek: but will aim for 2 stone by the end of the year and any extra will be a bonus. I'll go for the £5/lb as well.

    I want to join in too! I need to shift baby weight too, DS is only 14 weeks, but I need to start now. I will aim for half a stone, whats that? About 7 lb at £5 a 1lb? If I lost anymore weight it would be great, but I have had a lot of surgery lately and want to be realistic about how much exercise I can do as I havent fully recovered.

  • Hi Nellis,

    I'd like to join the challenge too. DS is 5 months old now, and whilst I have no idea what I weigh, I know there's a lot more to me than there used to be!
    I'd like to loose 1st as a starting point, so please put me in for 14lb @ £5/lb.
    I'll be interested to see just how much I do weigh..... now best go out tomorrow and buy some scales!
