  • Hi, I'd like to join in please, I've lost some weight this year but have found myself stalling so looking for something to help keep me accountable. 

    I do weigh ins on Monday, so I'll do my starting weight then. Ideally I'd like to lose 10lbs over the three months, but will see how it goes.

  • First weigh in - 11st 11lbs.
    So although I put my goal as to lose 10lbs, I think I'll have a secondary goal of losing 11lbs to get me to 11st.
    Unfortunately today is a work from home, I always struggle with keeping my eating on track when working from home.
