Anyone up for a Sponsored Slim?

Post by Northern Lass »

With all the slim pickings that were on offer over crimbo I bet
none of you have put on an ounce!

:wink:

If you have but feel there is fat chance of losing those inches
well how about a sponsored Slim!

or just say how much you would like to lose and by when and let's see if we can do it
If you don't hit your target then you cough up bit of money to a charity of your choice!

What do we think?
anyone up for it?

I havent put any weight on :grin:
Most of mine run away a little while ago, but dont know where or how :?
I'm no good at dieting, makes me want to eat more!

I'd pay up to a charity I support for anyone who does though.

Hang on, hang on, wait up a bit. I haven't finished the leftovers and the Christmas choccies yet. And I thought you were volunteering to PAY me for losing weight! Was quite excited for a moment there :(

But I would like to be a little more svelte for next winter's migration, so I'll join NL and aim for half a stone, but give myself until end of April (weight lost fast, goes back on fast). But definately NOT swearing off my glass of medicinal red wine.

To increase the penalty, you lot can nominate the charity to which I would have to donate.
