I'm definitely up for this! It may be too ambitious to aim for 10lbs but I would rather set myself a real challenge!!
SW = 257
CW = 257

sw: 230
cw: 230 lb
gw: 226

and won't be able to do the final weigh in until 1st September.

I go away for 2 and a half weeks next week hence the unambitious goal - I know it's very unlikely I'll be 226 or less at the end of the month but joining in will still motivate me to watch what I eat for the month. I only lost 1lb in two weeks so hoping for a whooooshhh before we go away! I've also increased exercise for the 10 days before going away and trying to eat extra healthily and drink extra water.

I would like to join in! My goal is only 3 lbs this month, I am currently 128 and would like to see 125. I thought about going lower but honestly I really don't feel like I want to be much smaller. Gosh, never thought those words would come out of my mouth, LOL I am almost 45 and this is probably a really good weight for my body.

Welcome All,

Rainbow & Touchmytoes, the hols will be hard, but do try and weigh in that last day - I know you can do it.....I stayed the same on my America trip, and didn't deprive myself too much, think it's just being a little bit careful, and also not having that, 'screw it, I ate a burger yesterday, so now it doesn't matter if I eat a pizza today' kind of attitude!!

Welcome, georgiad, Daisy, SoulSurvivor and TamiL - we are honoured to have 2 in the challenge about to reach goal with us...

I am going to amend my previous post to include everyone's details at the top of the page
