    zafiro, it looks as though your struggles have been successful. 3lb off is very creditable. I know just what you mean about your head being in the right place though. My own head has drifted off into the realms of fantasy these past few months and I've put on every pound I have lost.
    I would like to sign up for the next challenge please KnitWitch, though by the end of it I hope to have found another house and moved into it.
    Doesn't sound too hopeful, does it?
    I would like to try for 10 lbs.

    Morning All
    Well I had a bad weekend, although my meals were fairly healthy, the snacking inbetween was horrendous!
    I'm reporting in with a small loss of -1lb
    Am not too hopefull of the. Easter weekend as the combination of the kids being off and my weekend off, smooshed together with hot cross buns and chocolate, is a deadly combo for me.
    However I would like to aim for 14lbs for next challenge please Knit Witch, and thanks for all your work keeping us in check x

    It’s a 1.5lb gain for me this week please KnitWitch. Very much expected and I feel rubbish about it. It’s DH’s birthday today and we are out for dinner - his choice of venue. It’s not looking good for the end of this challenge!!

    Hi folks....
    I have finished the job....well, it still needs doing but not by me, and I will stay with my weight....
    I will think about the next challenge when i get home and my own scales, which read differently to the ones here...and the small matter of Easter chocolate.
    Well done to you who have got to target...I hope to get there one day this year!

    I stayed the same this week. Happy with my total 13 lbs weight loss for this challenge though.

    Thanks Knit Witch for the info. Can I sign up for 14lb for the next challenge as have put on nearly a stone since the last challenge started and I need to get things under control again.

    During my diet last year I rediscovered plenty of clothes I hadn't worn for a number of years and thoroughly enjoyed the experience of being able to get in some of them again. Now, some of them are on the verge of being too small again so I need to get back on track.

    My aim for this year is to lose two and a half stone. Never mind the health reasons of losing weight I want to be able to get into even more clothes that are neatly packed away and haven't seen the light of day for several years. :D:D
  • Its a small loss of 0.4lb for me this week. Not much but I'll take anything I can get. Can you put me down for 7lbs again for the next challenge please knitwitch.
    Happy Easter everyone
