    Hi. I would love to join. Going through the menopause and weight will not budge, have a holiday next March and would love to feel more confident in a bikini. Starting slow so that hopefully I can achieve it. I will go with 3lbs by the end of September. Overall aiming for 10lbs by the end of March. Still holding my pregnancy and IVF weight from 18 years ago, lol

    I have been for my weekly swim and a few gentle aquarobic exercises at the local school leisure centre. It was quiet with just nine of us for the lunchtime, adults and toddlers swim. No toddlers today. I wouldn’t have bothered except that I have off peak membership and I like to get my money’s worth.

    Tea - roasted courgette with chicken tikka.

    I also made enough chicken tikka for 5 portions for the freezer and did 3 shepherds pie bases.

    Hi all, reporting a pound on which I'm fine with.

    Not been able to do much exercise though I finally managed a walk today so hopefully I can up the steps now. See if I can lose that then some next week.

    Some great losses, really well done!
