    Do we have a target date ?

    I think I got down from 13.12 st to 13.04 st in the Autumn challenge.
    Actually kept most of the loss off until December.

    Oh well , here we go again.

    OK, not a big loss but getting down to that weight when 5'10" tall is low enough!

    Right what day do you want to update? Guess it don't matter, just do as you wish. I am hoping it will be a good incentive for all. I nearly did the last one but mised the boat, so to speak...

    Look forward to the updates and the challenge. Time to get serious about fitness!!

    Not as much as you guys but my challenge is to keep off what I lost on the last challenge - it would also be good to lose a bit more.

    I like Fridays as reporting day - it gives me an indication of how my weekend will go!

    Put on over 10lbs since the end of October (haven't been able to cycle much cause of work).
    I reckon if I can get down to 12st7lb I'll be happy.

    Will do a weigh in soon, would guess I'm up to 13st and want to shift a stone

    Someone who knows what they're about can tidy up the list

    Had you guys a deadline/ target date in mind? Easter?

    How about end of April as a deadline? - some of those targets involve shedding a lot of pounds :shock: and I know I'll struggle to get to mine but no point setting an easy one.

    Er I might be missing the point but why do any of you want to lose weight, none of those weights look unhealthy to me.

    Well, thank god your not a doctor!! I am probaby 2 stone overweight, heading towards obese, and now reining it in. Want to get towards a semi fit, then fit status. I feel better with losing weight, but like all guys of a certain age find it quite hard.

    I do need to lose it. Don't get me wrongs, as i get fitter, the fat will turn to muscle which weighs more, so it will be a slow process, but one I am determined to see though to the bitter end!!

    lol I was going through my suit cupboard last week, thought i'd try a couple on, blimey I was a bloater :lol: mrs itboffin says to me throw them out, to which I reply "what you think i'm NOT going to fit back in them"

    alas the 32" waist for most of us is just a dream, may be you can hold it for a year or two but eventually the sweet sweet goodness that is booze and junk food will win :roll:
