It's not been that long since I've been back on Minimins and I wasn't here long enough the first time to make many friends. Get involved in some of the teams and some of the challenges and you'll soon have lots of us cheering you along. As you can probably see from my sig I'm in Queensize to Princess, Juicy July, Sexy for Santa, Couch 2 5k (even though doing 10k) and I'm currently posting in 16's to 15's (though hope to be moving down in Tuesday).
As for 1lb a week once I start uni I will be happy with that. Currently trying to do a blitz to get as much off as possible before I start uni in September. You have to think of this as a long term plan. If you want to loose quickly go for a VLCD, if you want to learn to eat healthy for life go for SW. The weight loss will be slower but the whole way along you will be learning how to keep it off. 1lb is brilliant and not to be sniffed at. As others have said that's 4stone a year!!
