    Happy to do it as a percentage for loser of the week, will enlist hubby to come up with a table I can just drop numbers into it and then paste it, one thing MSE has done for me is give me an innate love of charts and graphs! Point taken on lose and loose, I'll admit the highest I ever got in a spelling test was 6/12, it's really not my forte. I was quite proud of my 6 as well.

    I think I'm shedding (yep, developed a lose/loose fear now!) around 40lbs. I did it after the birth of my first child by the time she was 1, so that gives me about 6 months to be at the same place.

  • I'd like to join this challenge please. I'm hoping to combine losing lbs with saving £s. I don't have a specific loss figure in mind just to lose steadily over the next year will be my goal. I have an unnecessarily complicated life due excess poundage and need to simplify on both fronts.
    I'm the only one who is stopping me from achieving my goals! :wall:
  • I'd like to join please! I have a lot of weight to lose and would like to shed it all in 2015 as well as get fitter and feel healthier.

    Do we have to post our actual weight or is it how much we've gained/lost?

    I'm excited. Just planning on eating right and moving more here. Nothing fancy and no fad diets.

  • Please may I join, I need to lose 2 stone roughly. I have tried to lose weight before but didn't have any motivation, April 2015 we are going to a wedding so want to feel good but also look good.

    I will have to weigh myself on 3rd Jan if that's ok as I come home from holiday on 2nd Jan.

    Hello

    Can I join please? I think I will have around 3.5 st to lose but will weigh in for the start on 2nd Jan to update.

    I've got a nearly 4yr old son and the weight has just crept on due to eating on the go and eating the easy option. Also had some medicine for anxiety which caused my fullness switch to deactivate so ate and ate for about a year and managed to gain 3 stone! Few!

    Hope we can help each other through a bit!
    Trying to be debt free, as soon as can be! :wave:

    Debt at start £8509.07 :eek:

    Debt now £8509.07
    :shocked:
  • I loved the Ultimate incentive threads :) and although no kids I have one busy job, one elderly Mother, two dogs and a very messy life.


    Also have at least 3 extra stone I do not need.


    so can I join too please?

    Nevertheless she persisted.

    Hello!

    I would love to join in, Im very overweight (so much that I don't want to think about just how far away my goal is!!) but would like to have some motivation as before Christmas I was doing well with a pound a week off, which will be my aim for next year as well, I love food and want this to be a lifestyle change so a pound a week doesn't feel like Im suddenly missing everything I love to eat!

    I would like to get into exercising more as well, might try to look at setting myself an exercise goal as well! Going to vegas in November and want to be lighter and fitter to really enjoy it!

    Jodles :D
