Can I put my name down too, I need to lose a few pounds (ok then, a few stones!!)

My son, who some of you know plays rugby league, was telling me last night that he needs 5000 calories a day to maintain his weight. Lucky bu**er!!

Hello grannie,

I'll be with you I, too, need to lose 3 stone by September.

I lost 3 stone last year, then became ill and it's not helped... 1 stone back on.

Look forward to it we can all give moral support to each other.

Annie, To lose 6 stone was fantastic and even if you have added half of it back is still a net loss of 3 stone so something to be proud of. But just think 6 stone at just a total collective sponsorship of 10 p a pound would have netted a charity nigh on £85,,,,hmm me thinks we should go for it - I will happily scoff all the banned naughty things!

Perhaps we could be invited to pm you regarding sponsorship for a charity (not through the board of course as will upset GR), but if we can support you in your weight loss plans and its for charity then why not. Col (slightly underweight so going to stuff myself at Christmas!)
