    Well done Lucy :j I wish I could lose 6lb in a week!
    So how did you do it? Lots of exercise? Lots of water? Chop an arm off? :eek:

    I thought about chopping off and arm but thought that was a bit much. I just stuck to the Slimming world plan, ate loads of fruit and drank loads of water. No exercise as I have hurt my back and I stopped eating chocolate!

    Thats about it really.

    I just need to keep it but and hopefully I'll get there!

    Okay so; more fruit, check! More water, check! stick to the plan without fail, check! try and get a bit more physical, check!
    Okay so I added in the last one myself but I do think I need to move more.

    In case you cant tell I'm having a motivated day today, I'm determined I *will* hit my target by the 22nd of December. I even made myself a little motivation chart for above my monitor with some Christmas decorations on and a picture of a dress I'd love to fit into (its very Cinderella looking). Of course, even if I could fit into it I wouldn't have anywhere to wear it but one step at a time ;)

    So long as I lose a kilo a week I will manage it but I've been having weeks where I'm only losing .5kg so I really must make more effort.

    That sounds like a great idea. When I was slimming for my cousins wedding (I was a bridesmaid) I keep a picture of the dress on my desk. I worked I had to have it taken in!

    It's someone's birthday today so I have had birthday cakes and stuff! So will have to be good from now on.

    I might have to steal that idea and wear it the night of the PSC Christmas party!! Which I think might be on the night of the 23rd which is the Sunday before Christmas eve! Does that sounds ok to everyone?
