Hey! Can I join? I used to live in the UK (in glorious Luton ).
Losing 7 lb till June sounds reasonable.

Yep, I'll jump in to that! I've got 6lbs to go until my next goal, but 7 would be most welcome too!

I need to not go to too many barbecues! (I wish, in this weather :P)

Fab. Am so glad, we can do it TOGETHER.

Did everyone have a good 'first day'?
Mine was good, stuck to plan, drank my water and went for a walk (am not big in the exercise. Need to step it up. Have Tracey Andersons DVD so MUST start doing it).
Di1586- thanks for the congratulations. How's your diet going? It always the last few that seem to be the hardest to lose.
Kitcherella- please join. Where do you live now? 7lb is well realistic. Defs do it.
Leaves-perfect timing for you to start the challenge then. Congrats for being so close to goal. What diet have you been doing?

P.s. I spelt CHALLENGE wrong on title of thread. Doh!

Day 2 done and dusted.
Had a lovely day and was busy so barely thought about food.
Did v well with my eating/water intake. Stuck to plan.
I have my weigh meeting on Tuesday so hoping to be 2 pounds down since last week (or at least 1lb off. Pretty please) which will put me well on track for 7 pounds loss in total.

Hope everyone is doing well.

Wooo, well done for day 2!

My plan is just calorie counting and exercising when I get the chance! It's going pretty well so far, hoping to be at least 140 for my graduation on the 9th of July, hopefully down a pound tomorrow

Yes please join metal firecracker (amaze name), the more the merrier! Are you calorie counting?
So day 3, did well food and water wise. But STILL did not manage to exercise. I think I have been putting off so much I have created a fear around it.
I bought Tracey Anderson's DVD (the woman who 'made' Gwyneth paltrows body) so there is NO EXCUSE not to do that at home.....tomorrow DEFS.

How is everyone else doing?
Weather was weird today but the bit of sun made me very excited and motivated for summer time weight loss and actually being happy/confident wearing my summer wardrobe.

Can I join in too? I'm trying to kick off the 15 pounds I regained over the long winter! I have more than that to lose, but I'm starting with getting back to my lowest weight.

I was really good today. Drank my water, kept my calorie count down and managed to exercise! Also started the 30 day squat challenge.....I will be lucky if I can walk tomorrow!

No worries, everyone welcome!

I think I just about weighed in at 144 this morning, but my scales are cheapy not very clear ones, so i'm going to weight for a more definite result before changing things. Looks like I might hit my goal by the 1st of June after all!

Hi! My Masterplan! Well i'm just calorie counting on my phone with MyFitnessPal aiming for 1200 which is harder some days than others so i'm trying to look at it as an average for the week rather than rigid each day if that makes sense?
I need to start exercising again too, I was really good for a while but haven't done anything in about a month because I had blisters from my trainers! Ha poor excuse :s
