    Can I join please.  I’ve put quite a bit of weight on due to a stressful few months and I need to sort myself out and get serious about it.  I would like to lose about 12 lb for now please and then go from there.  Thank you

    Hi, I'd like to join this year too please! I'd like to lose approx 17lbs during 2024, so for the first quarter I will look at losing 5lb. 

    So 5lb first quarter / overall 2024 17lb

    This is a thread where I can have some extra accountability.

    Gosh I have been awol most of the year, would it be possible for me to join the up coming challenge (hangs head in shame) I really have no real excuse apart from laziness! I have been been a bit busy, have started a part time degree with the OU and we have a new puppy.
    Brambling could I please try for 9lb 
    Wishing you all. Very Happy New Year x

    Hi, please can I join you?

    I would like to lose 16lb in quarter 1.

    I have the Noom app free from work but I feel I have been inattentive to my goals as Christmas approached. Hopefully this will help!

    Thank you for the new thread @Brambling. I have no idea what I now weigh since I stopped in the run up to Christmas - I'll have put on for sure, I feel like I've been eating non-stop for weeks.

    I am in again please, regardless of current weight I am aiming for 14lbs off in the first quarter of 2024.
