Hi everyone it seems that some of us are finding it very hard to meet our daily and weekly targets and so i decided to start this thread. It's time to remember exactly why we are doing this. Feel free to talk about the NSV's (non scale victories ) that you have reached whilst doing the challenge, maybe you can jog for five minutes longer than before, maybe you've finally fitted into that smaller pair of jeans that have been hanging in you wardrobe for months, maybe even years.
You could post motivational posters, or pictures, or phrases, talk about how much weight you've lost the list goes on and on. Let's get each other back on track to reach that amazing end goal by December 31st

I'm really proud of you going to that Zumba class. It's not something that i think i could do. I prefer to be on my own when i exercise.

Here's a link to some really inspiring weight loss pictures. I hope you all enjoy it0 -

Sorry...now I understand how to "quote"...Here is a nice piece of encouragement for weight loss motivation:
