@@claytonmccord If it helps, the notice is being rolled out (takes time with @150 million users to notify). I found it when I logged into the site through my browser, it was highlighted at the top of the window, above all the menus. I couldn't see anything on the mobile app yet. I'm in the UK, don't know if they are…

I had to pop in to say how very sorry I was to read @GOINSTD12 's sad news. My condolences, and I wish you better health and strength to deal with all that faces you. And at the other extreme of life, congratulations to @jam5660 - all the best with your pregnancy. No news from me, still chasing down that last pound or so…

A few suggestions to replace "challenge" - Aim - Ambition - Endeavour (that might be endeavor for you folk over the pond :D ) I thought of changing a verb into a descriptive noun ( I think - might be a gerund? Any grammar specialists out there?) - Strive, as in "My strive this week is to......" Personally, I quite like…

Well, I think that is a brilliant result on the losses, well done us! The small gains, well, meh - they'll soon go too. Lydia should absolutely join the goal-completers, she had that goal on her list. Job done, good for you, Lydia, and the others who made it. Shame I couldn't report this week - I've shifted a tiny bit more…

Congratulations! You look terrific, and what a difference! Well done.

The things I learn on here ..... :D I will squirrel away that tip for the happy day when that part of my anatomy is no longer padded out. B)

Love this mental picture :D I'll be a pufferfish for a good while yet, but I look forward to feeling as you do :)

Meant to say, @bapcarrier , I won't be going in for another challenge so soon, thank you. I'll not make my target for this one (was over ambitious!) and with Christmas approaching, I don't want another pressure on my shoulders. I have my personal goals, which only mean to lost another 3.5lbs by Christmas, and that will do…

Glad you enjoyed them. For a relatively small island, we are blessed with a huge variety of landscapes - you should see Scotland, Wales, the wide open spaces of East Anglia, just for starters. The BBC had an article this week that, despite our perception that these sceptred isles are being built upon at a rate of knots, we…

@KATRENAJ and @b_lisieux You're welcome with my photos. I've had a quick look for videos online about the area I live in if you want to see more. These two, while a few years old, give a reasonable view of the coastline and countryside near me. From the bus tour one (it's actually a public bus route) I live between the…

They do, thank you :) Feel a bit shame-faced because, believe it or not, I was an IT geek/trainer/systems admin when I was earning a crust (England-speak for working :D ). Six years of retirement and it has all gone to somewhere :D I think when quickly checking the community threads on here, when I'm updating my food…

Another half pound will see me at 40lbs lost since February. Losing 2.6lbs will see the scales show 19 stone 13lbs (UK measures), or 279lbs, down from 23st or 322lbs in that time. I can do this! Not seen the "teens" on the scales since I don't know when, over 15years at least! Keeping on keeping on, not being an angel,…

Well done! It's great to get rid of holiday weight, but fun putting it on in the first place. I hope you escape your jury duty. @KATRENAJ Sorry to see your knee injury is so painful. What a shame to have happened on what looked like a great trip to Europe, you did quite some travelling! I hope you get some pain relief soon.

Wow, what great news from folk already. Barb and Niki, congrats on reaching your challenge targets already - and Onederland for Barb! Fabulous, Keep the light on in the tunnel, several of us will be following you in due course. :D I saw Irene had lost over 20lbs in under 2 months - way to go! Connie and LaDana each losing…

I too am glad to hear from you, and take care whilst working so hard.
