just thought i needed to say this, helen does a fantastic job of setting up these challanges ,posting each week and motivating us all to keep on track its just such a shame that lots of people show interest in the challange ,some even post the first week, but then everyone just gives up, if you are not serious why join, is it cos you havnt lost weight ,that doesnt matter at least have the decency to post a message apologising for quiting and not just disapear of the forum , it must be very disheartening for helen but i know she is too nice to say anything herself, so come on guys where are you all, post say sorry and join in

thats all folks

Ah - thanks for your kind words ali!

I must admit that there are times when I do wonder whether it is worth doing these challenges. I suppose that for the few people that stick with it, they are motivational - even if folks don't lose weight, then at least it sometimes stops them from putting weight on!

The nature of these Boards is that people do drop in and out - and there isn't a lot that you can do about it really.

But I really do appreciate your comments - and thanks for taking the trouble to post them!
