    Morning Guys

    Well I managed to lose half a pound last night, which considering I'd had a cold all week I was really pleased with. And it's the first time since July I've lost 2 weeks running :D

    I just need to keep it up.

    I have another busy day at work today, so hopefully will be to busy to snack, although I do have healthy things with me just in case.

    Bob - Well Done! 2 pounds is fab weight loss, and very healthy, apparently healthy weight loss is anything between 1/2 lb and 2 lbs a week. So well done you!

    Right so today I will:

    - Get loads of work done
    - Check and see if anyone has heard how a colleage is, She was hit by a bus yesterday lunchtime and I identified her (last I heard she had broken rids and was going for a CT scan. The bus driver was on his mobile and didn't stop for the red light :eek: )
    - Eat loads of healthy food!

    Good luck, The spreadsheet is up and ready for all your losses!

    Well done Lucy, Piggin and Mad :T

    I'm definitely going to get some posh digital scales that do half pounds.
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:
