    Between us we have lost just short of a stone this week, apparently 12lbs is equivalent to one Bald Eagle which is pretty impressive!

    In total so far on this challenge, we have lost 273lbs :T which is apparently equivalent to Arnold Schwarzenegger + a mid-sized microwave +2 footballs :rotfl: assuming the internet is to be trusted of course!

    So huge :T to Dinah for starting the challenge

    Hey everyone! Hope you're all well :)

    Semi back on the weight loss bandwagon, in the sense OH wants to lose some weight so in ways of being supportive I'm joining in. I know myself how difficult it is to lose weight when your partner isn't in on the game. I've got to admit it's a lot easier for me to make healthier choices when my main aim isn't my own weight loss :o I'm actually enjoying salads and I'm blaming it on my old age.

    I have lost 3lb this week! But the weight loss brings my back down to 175lb, can't remember what my start weight was but I'm definitely not my last logged weight of 168lb :p

    Thank you for posting this :) I can see I am at the bottom so only one way to go me thinks :rotfl:
    Been really good so far this week and determined to get back to where I was a few weeks ago. Been exercising and am now the proud owner of a Garmin forerunner :D Which is great no more kidding myself on distances or calories burnt.

    Good luck everyone
