    Going to give this a go for the first time, wish me luck!

    SW:174lbs
    CW:
    GW:166lbs

    I've got my plan set to lose 2lbs per week so I'm going to aim for that, but realistically I have a work trip and a family visit coming up so things might not be so great those weeks, although I'm going to really try and stick to my calories. 166lbs would put me under 11st for the first time in my adult life - the first time I remember weighing myself (I must have been around 16/17) I was 11st 4lbs, so this would feel so good. Also, two of my friends have just started an incredibly expensive 'personal training' diet plan thing where they pay someone to email them menu plans and workouts each week. Of course I support them and it is whatever works for each individual at the end of the day, but this has given me some serious motivation to get off my backside and get the weight loss started again - without forking out over £250!

    Good luck everyone!

    I'm going on my summer holiday on 6th August so I'd love to lose 1lb a week between now and then. I've been at it for a couple of months so hopefully it won't slow down too much in the next month :smiley:
