Story

Friday 1st April 2011

 

Hi

 

We are now on week 11, and Jenny has lost another 41/2 lbs over the last two weeks, she is now well on her way to her 3rd stone. WELL DONE Jenny!!!

 

Cosette has stayed the same for the last couple of weeks, whilst I have finally lostlmy 1st stone  & 1/2lb.  I think we need some encouragement to catch up with Jen, don't you!!

 

Many thanks

Cosette, Jenny, Linda

Hi

 

This week Cosette has stayed the same, I lost 1/4lb, but Jenny is way ahead of the game losing 2.5lbs which means she only needs to lose 1lb more and she will have a total weight loss of 2 stone.  Congrats will be in order then.

 

Many thanks

Cosette, Jenny, Linda

Hi

 

Great news, Jenny has almost reached the 2 stone marker with only 3.5lbs to lose.  Well done Jenny

 

Cosette and I are losing at a snails pace with cosette needing to lose 5lbs to get to her 1st stone, and I need to lose 3.5 lbs to hit that 1st stone.

 

Watch this space, Cosette and I are in a race to our 1st stone by the end of this month.  Wish us luck, we need it.

 

Many thanks

Cosette, Jenny, Linda

Hi

 

Not so good this week, Cosette lost 1 lb, Jenny 2.5 lbs, and I lost 0.5 lb.

 

At least we didn't gain any weight, we all lost, and if we can do this every week, by the end of October, we will have hit our target.

 

Many thanks

Hi All

 

I have let myself be talked into a sponsored slim.  I personally will have to lose 3 stone by the end of October with my two colleagues Linda Powell and Jenny Murray.  We have decided to do this as we have tried to dieted over the years but never managed, one to lose this much, and two to keep it off.  We all want to feel better and improve our health.

 

We have chosen Cancer Research as our charity as it is very close to out hearts. I myself lost my mum to cancer last year after a 3 year battle, Jenny also lost her mum to Cancer, and all of us regularly hear tragic stories of cancer. 

 

So please if you can sponsor us you can either give via the just giving website www.justgiving.com/linda-powell0 or you can pledge and amount and pay up when we do it.

Thanks a lot for your support.

 

Cosette

 

 

Hi

Cosette Wright, Jenny Murray and myself have been challenged to lose 3 stone each. 

 It started out as your usual new year's promise to lose the extra lbs we have been carrying around, and grew into the challenge that we have accepted, with a difference, we are asking  friends, family and anyone who wishes to, to sponsor us.  All the funds raised will be going to Cancer Research.

We are hoping that with your encouragement and sponsorship, we will achieve both our targets.

Our first weigh in will be tomorrow along with a photo, whilst we will post the before photo on this site, you will have to allow us our dignity and guess at our weight.
