Right I've messed about long enough as I'm sure some of you know me from here.
I started (again) today.
And have finally made it to the end of day 1 ;)
Im off on holiday on april 12th so ive just worked out thats 40 days of ss my goal to lose as much as poss so I can go swimming with my children & hubby.
And feel better about myself.
Looking at my record card from last year by week 5 id lost 1st 12lbs.
So wont be anywhere near target but want to ss till our weekend away holiday.
Then come back and ss again for our menorca holiday in july.. which by then I do want to be at target.
So I'm back and planning on sticking around this site for the next 40 days.
As this site is a god send on helping to stay on track. :)
 
Hi!

You're right, it is a godsend! I'm feeling pretty crappy tonight so on here for lots of motivation!

Good luck on your challenge!

Day 2 for me 1 maple porridge down & 3 pints of water.. just took my son to the shop for sweets and I treated myself to a 1litre bottle of volvic lol.
So drinking that now ;)
 
Good luck! I'm just starting out on Cambridge, ready to get stuck into it now :)
