yeah its so funny you just tell everyone else to stay positive etc but its so hard to do yourself!

Same as everything i guess, you tell your friends theyre gorgeous, they dont need to lose weight, have a cake if you want etc, but you dont follow that advice yourself hahaha

i agree not to follow advice about eating cake but you get my point

xx

ha ha yep I agree we do give out good advice to others that we need to follow ourselves!!

Simmy keep going you'll get there!!

Sue you'll get a good result next week.

Good luck for this week team 1, lets all make an effort for a penalty free week

Hi Girls, sorry that I haven't managed to post for a week or so, my internet is really playing up (I feel lost without it). Anyway, last week I lost 1 1/2 pounds and I did the same again this week. More from me later, promise!

We should start a fresh challenge - do a 7wk one in the run-up to xmas and see who wants to do it???
Pretty sure some have dropped off the challenge (tho i might be wrong!)

What do you guys think - a 7wk xmas challenge??? x

Sounds like a good idea, im going to check how much ive lost from the start of this challenge.
