Hi Everyone,
Just trying to find my way about the forum but I really need to join you guys. Had an operation in March which meant I was on crutches for 2 months then recuperating for another few months, the weight snuck on and I never managed to get on top of it, so 14lbs for me please. I want to get it off and keep it off.5 -
Please can i be added to the challenge -
couple of big events later in the year and working from home hasn't been the kindest, too close to the kettle and the biscuit barrel!!! will am for 18lbs in the first quarter which should be doable if i cut out the chocolate and rubbish. needing to lose at least 5 stone overall in the longterm but a bit a time and will get there5 -
Throw me back into the ring please!
Still wanting to get down to the next stone mark so from the last official count that was 6 pounds to go.
In reality I would like to drop a stone this quarter. Even if that means I have no trousers that fit me anymore. Then again it will be nearly summer and there's lots in the wardrobe with drawstring waists.....
So lets kinda split the difference and put the goal at 8 pounds. which will make the end result S-2......I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Debt Free Wannabe, Old Style Money Saving and Pensions boards.

Welcome aboard Pennyrounder and TornErse and welcome back Brie 🙂 and good luck
I had a wandered through my wardrobes this morning, my heart wasn't in the task so only two items were added to the charity shop pile, there will be more when I get my act together there are so many sizes in there
TBH if I slimmed down to those too small would I still want to wear them? The aim is not to need the too big stuff but I currently have that voice in my head which says ifyou aim that weight back on .................
