Right Dawn and I had a wee challenge going last summer to get to target,happy to say we both got there with the support and motivation from each other ,as well as others on the forum.But we have both let the pep slip the last wee while and are both now a few pounds above danger weight,so I have started this post to help us both get back to target.
We both weigh in on a Tuesday and will use this post to record our weight losses and maybe our daily menu's ,feelings etc.
I really want to get back close to target for my 40th Birthday on 29th March.
So herE we go Dawn ....LETS RE- RING THOSE BELLS!!!!
