    Well done on losing 3lbs and keeping up the motivation. I think you’ve got the hang of this weight loss lark 😆

    Thanks SA I’m really enjoying the exercise and I know I’ve got a long way to go but I have really put my mind to it I think I used to struggle making different meals all the time but I just accept that’s the way it is

    Feels faint at the thought of 100 squats.

    A lot easier if you break them down into chunks of 4 x 25. I’ve done this challenge before 🤣
