yes, i don't really get that bit either cyb. but then I'm not a Blue Sky Thinking flip chart kind of a girl so I assume I'm missing something obvious.

HumphreyCobbler · 26/03/2010 13:35

Pie charts are great.

Am feeling very positive today, remembered that I look much thinner when I wear heels so went out feeling as if I look much slimmer.

If that makes sense.

cyb · 26/03/2010 13:38

YY to hels, I am wearing heels A lot since I started losing inches (note how I said INCHES not weight)

as for pie chart, I think I would like an inch loss graph

shortandsweet2 · 26/03/2010 13:55

dinkystinky · 26/03/2010 14:06

Cheers Undertone - or should we call you Stats now? - you're a star for the pie charts and the list. Well done us. Tis clearly the spur - and the shake to wake - that spurs us on...

Undertone · 26/03/2010 14:27

Sorry! Sorry! cyb - I can't find your thing. How much have you lost so far?!

Add isthatporridge and shortandsweet's proper totals and it kicks up to 184.3lbs

That's, like, the weight of a scrum half rugby player.

cyb · 26/03/2010 14:29

unders, thats the thing I dont know cos I havent weighed! Well, I did in the loo at work but didn;t know what I started at.

But I will not be downhearted ,I will still shake my pom poms at you lot with your numbers (grr) and admire my dimishing inches instead

cyb · 26/03/2010 14:36

How strange, its pouring with rain in my front garden and the sun is splitting the rocks out the back

mrsjuan · 26/03/2010 14:40

How big is your house cyb?!

dinkystinky · 26/03/2010 14:42

The spur that spurs us on??? Must be going loopy from lack of chocolate food. Meant the fear that spurs us on....

Cyb - losing inches is the best way to do it as is the most noticeable

geordieminx · 26/03/2010 15:10
