    I've taken to weighing on a Wednesday, I forget on a Friday. Today was 10st 5 3/4lbs, that's down from 10st 10lbs last week. Not all good though, it's probably mostly because I'm still quite unwell. Still if it comes off I've then got a reason to keep it off!

  • I'm not doing very well since saying I would join this challenge - I've been more lazy and eating more chocolate than usual....haven't made any effort to increase my activity yet....must try harder!!!!

    Keep up the good work, everyone!
