oh my glob
Well done, everyone! And extra congrats to those of you hitting your targets! :clap:
Had my last weigh-in of the month today, and I'm not going to hit my target. I'm okay with that, though, as I was honestly expecting a gain this week, but instead I maintained. I've been eating horribly. Back on track now, though!

As you can see, I reached my target too. So congrats to me and all the other ladies who took part. However, I have decided that weight loss targets are not something I want to take part in again. We should not measure success or failure by something over which we have no personal control, and we cannot control the rate at which weight is lost. We can only control the input of food and the output of exercise. Therefore I believe that a better "challenge" would be to measure success by how many consecutive days we can meet our eating control targets (i.e. how many calories, syns, points or carbs) without cheating. This way, the outcome of the challenge really, truly is within our control. Just my 2p worth! Helena
