Hi all, I really need some accountability so I'd love to join the new challenge for the last few months of 2024. I'd love to lose 7lbs by the new year just to take me back to a place where I felt a little better about myself while trying to just not let food rule my life (she says as she's chowing down on a brownie 😂). Tomorrow is a new day 🤷♀️🤣Emergency Fund - £8572.39 / £10,000 :: Mortgage OP 2025 - £LISA 24/25 - £3200 / £4000 :: NSD 2025 - 2 / 150 :: Books Read: 1 / 52 :: Decluttering - 4 / 1000Engaged 9th December 2010 :: Married 29th October 2015 :: Bought a House 13th January 20175

Hey everyone!
You can pop me down for 6Ibs.
Although I did reach my initial target Id still like to see if I can get abit lower. So I'll be hoping for the best (whilst still eating stodgy winter food and drinking hot chocolate!).5 -

Tea - salad and l.o chicken thigh! (Worked til 8 so didn't want to cook).5 -

I am also going for -7lbs this time, a slightly more modest target than last time. I am now 11 st 10 (74.5 kilos). I do need to get down to 11st (70 Kilos) but it is hard work! I have just booked a walking weekend in Alnmouth (Northumberland) in early November. Just hoping for decent weather.4

Well done for all the amazing lbs lost, hard work but it does improve mood.
Can you put me down for a 'maintain' please brambling, however I am hoping that the December sunshine and all the chicken salads and trots up and down the solar pool, even getting out to get fresh bread for Mr Pepper daily, will add up. I don't usually gain when away as the sunshine gives me more motivation, plus it helps that the Spanish don't do all the Xmas crud that's on sale here as soon as you walk into the supermarket.
Have a good week everyone.MFW - 01.10.21 £63761 01.10.22 £50962 01.10.23 £39979 01.10.24 £27815. 01.01.25. £17538
