Hello,

please may I join ?

I am on a mission to shed 20lbs and am using simple calorie reduction with the help of an app which tracks my calories and steps.

I've been given a calorie budget of 1350 a day and expect to shed 1 lb a week.

Last week I lost 2 lbs :j but I don't expect that to happen again - probably my body just reacting to the shock of having proper home-cooked food every day for a week

Always glad to see new members on the thread as you gave a "target" of a pound a week am I right that you want to join in the challenge as well?

Thank you for the welcome

Ohh sorry, I completely missed there being a challenge!
I just read the first couple of pages and then admit I skipped the next 51 to this one!

Quite happy to take part in a challenge though if you wouldn't mind giving me a quick briefing on it ?

I'll read back a few pages to try to find it

The short version? It runs for a quarter of the year (approximately!) and you let me know how much you want to lose in that time (or a shorter time if you join partway through - for example there are 6/7 weeks left in this one if you include this week!) then each week you let me know how much you have lost (or gained *cough*) and I update the spreadsheet and list

Arrietty

Perfect!
Thank you for that, also just found the details at the bottom of the first post ... and now rather wishing I hadn't just had one ( ok it was 2, but they were really tiny) of the chocolate and ginger brownies a colleague brought in!

I'm still up for the challenge though

I added you as of last week with your two pounds off and a target of eight until the end of this challenge!
