I know MFP is dominated by those across the pond though despite having nearly 6,000 members this is one of the quietest groups there is. I guess we only have around 2,000 active members so around 500 who will look at this, so here's the challenge. We talk about "losing a ton of weight" so lets do it.

When you have your next weigh in post here how much you lost and added it to whatever has gone before and see how soon we can get to 1 ton (2000 lbs).

So here goes - I have lost 1lb at this weigh in which makes our UK total 1lb so far.

    Sorry to be pedantic, but a ton is 2,240 lbs, 20 cwt to the ton, 112 lbs per cwt

    You can bung my loss into the total

    I was using the US short ton but you are quite correct we should use the UK long ton. It is only new loss that we will be adding so still 1 pound total so far.

    Erm, no!! tbf if you had registered a loss towards the total we would have added it back on. Still at 20lb lost so far, mid week weigh in to come for me so keep those totals coming in and it only new losses that we add on.

    Hey, just spotted this - 1.2lb for me to chuck in to the tally!

    Might be worth someone giving a shout out on the general forums see if anyone else wants to chip in. It's been so long since we've had any activity on the UK groups.


    Oops! - 44.9lb <--- forgot to add in total.
