Hope its ok for me to join, I'm already 4lb down but need to lose at least a stone this summer, I'm just starting the journey to see if I can donate one of my kidneys and if I pass all of the tests then i will need to have a BMI of below 30 on the day of surgery.
My plan is a straightforward 1500 calories a day. I find it fairly easy to stick with as long as my head is in the right place, hopefully donating a kidney will be enough to keep me on track!
Assume this is my target until 30/6? I'll go another 7 so currently 4/11"You've been reading SOS when it's just your clock reading 5:05 "6 -

I’ve not been very good at updating - stayed at 10.5lb off for a week as I’ve not been very focused this week. But I think I forgot to do my last update that I’d gotten down to 10.5lb off 😅
EDIT - I was right, I’m at 9lb off on the list, so can you mark off another 1.5lb @Brambling?Part time working mum | Married in 2014 | DS born 2015 & DD born 2018
