Looks like I am having to work doubly hard for every ounce at the moment but it's a loss, another 1.5lbs. That's 7 off so far in the challenge, so I won't be meeting the 12lbs but it's been really good fun playing.
Most important is that it's that final 1lb required to meet my first mini-goal, I'm not obese any more!
I'm probably not going to meet the goals set by the surgeon who cannot add up, but I bet he'll be surprised to see what a different this 18lbs has actually made.
