    Scratch another kilo for me. Makes me 91kg (well actually 90.8 but I'm rounding up). Only one more week of my challenge left... Will I do it? Wont I do it? The suspense is killing me. Trust me to have it all rest on the last week. :mad:

    Another kilo for me this week too.

    I doubt I'll manage the 4lbs needed this week to meet my target, but I'm not too bothered :D

    How much more weight loss are you aiming for Spud? I'm hoping that after Christmas I wont have done too much damage to my weight and that I can lose another 10kgs by Easter (12 weeks after Christmas).

    Are you me but looking from the other side of the mirror? ;)
    I too need to lose about another 2 stone to be at my ideal weight of 12 stone. Can I ask if you can see much of a difference when you look at yourself ?

    It certainly sounds like I could be your reflection :eek:

    I'm 5ft 10 and 12 stone would be my ideal weight too.

    I cant so much see a difference, but I feel totally different. I feel so much better and other people tell me how much slimmer I look all the time :D

    Wanna know something spooky? I'm 5ft 10 too ghostface.gif

    I'm glad I'm not the only one who cant see a difference. I still look all lumpy and wobbly and huge when I look at myself. I measured my waist this morning and it was 34.5 inches(!) that's almost a size 14. I think I'm still in shock. I've never been a size 14, I went straight from kids sizes to a 16 when I was younger.

    I finally wore a size L tshirt to work on Friday rather than my usual XXL one, and the number of people who came up to me and said "have you lost weight?" was amazing. I felt brilliant all day e9.gif

    We sound like twins Safe :rotfl:

    I took great delight in throwing away the Simply Be catalogue that arrived last week, knowing I can now get much nicer stuff, for a fraction of the price, at Tesco :T

    I know I wont ever feel slim and gorgeous. I've always felt fat, even though looking back at pictures from years ago, I definitely wasnt :confused::o
