Happy New Year  

I’d like to join in please, it’s been a while and quite a few pounds have been gained since I last took part in this challenge. 

I’ve weighed myself this morning so will continue to make Fridays my WI day. Many thanks for running the thread Brambling, put me down for 10lbs this quarter.

 Good luck everyone.

Hello all and Happy New Year.
Thanks for the thread Brambling and I'd like to join in for this quarter if I may. My target for the first quarter is 7 lbs please.

Hi I'm still too scared to weigh in, but I think I will try to make Tuesday my weigh in day and it will give me a couple of days to take the top off the holiday reserves. I think I have just eaten more as it's been so quiet and I have mainly been cooking, writing, eating and a bit of running and walking, to keep a bit in balance. @Brambling my target is 12lb this quarter, as I had no luck last quarter of really shifting any weight. I will adjust when I weigh in on Tuesday, sorry for not being so brave as other people on here.

Good morning you lovely lot  

I am going to try and remember to post my menus as it helps me be more mindful of what I am actually eating each day. I have woken up feeling full of positivity and my lovely son Lee wants to get healthier so will join with me in improving his diet and fitness levels. It will be so nice having some real life support too from each other.

My food today will be:
b - lotus biscoff pancakes with blueberries and strawberries, 2 mugs of tea
l - mushroom soup
d - bacon and spinach pasta
s -apple and a tangerine.
I will attempt each day to eat at least 5 portions of fruit and vegetables and today will be a cracking start with 8 portions.
I wish I could bottle this hopefulness ready for the tough weeks ahead. Ah well, as long as I don't give up I reckon I will do great. 
Here's to a happy, healthy New Year xx

Can I join please! I’d like to aim for 10lbs this quarter (secretly I’d like it to be a bit more!) but I think 10 is achievable. I weighed myself last Monday so I’ll keep to that for weighing!
 

Good luck everyone and happy new year!xx

Just weighed myself and I'm heavier than I thought, I'm still going to stick with 14lb initially and 60lb overall. I am starting tomorrow as I want Saturday to be my weigh day. Happy New Year everyone and good luck!

Hello All Happy New Year 🥳 
I'm so sorry I disappeared for the last part of the year, I completely fell of the wagon, and no amount of trying could get my chubby self back in it.
So here I am shuffling in and hoping for a fresh start, could I try for a gentle 10lb to start with please, thank you so much, I shall start Monday as that's when I'm back to work xx

welcome back Sirens.  Would that be the wagon that lost all its wheels and burst into flames?  I've got one of those and I keep looking at it doubtfully and wondering how it will be to clamber back onto it.

I'm going to try something new this quarter.  If it works and I meet my modest challenge, I will let you know how I did it.  
In the unbelievably unlikely event of it not working, I will make my excuses.

Newbies, should you ever find that in spite of your impeccable adherence to your diet, your incredible self control and your pure-as-the-undriven-snow conscience, you seem to have put on what you intended to lose, I'm your woman.
I have a whole basket of interesting and totally believable ready-made excuses.  On application and the payment of eye-watering amounts of dosh, I will send you one in a brown envelope.
Can't say fairer than that.
