Have become humungous over the festive season - who wants to come and kick me up the harris?

[HappyChristmasWalrusIsOver]

I have been drinking loads of lager and eating too much crap

I need to get back into being sensible

I follow the SW plan normally, but I have completely lost it since I went on holiday in Se[ptember, and subsequently have put on a stone since then

I do have quite a lot to lose, so who would like to either jpoin me, or kick me up my not inconsiderable backside?????

[bandgeek]

I was at 11st 4lb at the end of October, and last time I weighed myself (Sunday) I was 11st 10lb I have probably put on at least a couple of pounds since then too.

I want to lose at least a stone, and also tone up my big, flabby c-section belly as well! Not much then

[Lizzylou]

OH, have lost it completely in December, having lost 2 stone since September doing SW, I have reverted to type and ate and drank far too much...

Roll on 1st Jan!

[HappyChristmasWalrusIsOver]

Oh god, you are all lightweights man

I have about 5-6 strone to shift (I had list 2 stone, and then I put it all back on again)

So, are you going to join me> Shall we kick easch other up the arse?

[auntyspan]

I'm happy to get a good kicking - getting married in May so have the thought of pictures / video's etc to spur me on.
Did SW after I had DD but thinking about WW... any thoughts?
PS Need to shift a couple of stone ideally

[bandgeek]

Yes, I'll definitely join you. I could do with a good kicking too

I'm thinking about buying an exercise DVD tomorrow - I don't have the cash or time to go to the gym and this seems like the next best option. I have an exercise bike which I have been using on and off so I will try and use it more frequently. Also need to aim for 50 sit-ups per day.

I'm still a stone and a half lighter than I was this time last year so I'm using that thought to keep me going

[auntyspan]

I've got a horrible belly thing that "falls over" my c-section scar - anyone recommend any exercises that could get rid of it?

[bandgeek]

Mine's the same! I don't know if anything will ever get rid of it tbh, it's all lose skin and wrinkly looking. Absolutely hideous!

[HappyChristmasWalrusIsOver]

Oh my belly looks like a bowl of lumpy porridge (2 CSs - one a dire emergency, there weren't neat)

I will always have overhang, buit I am aiming to reduce it vastly

So, shall we use this thread to support one another/kick each other up the jacksie?

[cathshuck]

would love to join you! same cs probs as you all. got about two stone to lose. bought nell mcandrew dvd today and joined ww but no motivation so far! Need the support!

[bandgeek]

I definitely need the support. Also have no motivation (doesn't help when I am sitting here munching chocs and guzzling wine

I am starting tomorrow. Will weigh myself in the morning

[Minum]

Have 2 dress sizes to lose - determined to get back to being size 12. I currently drink a bottle of wine a day, I know that has to go, but I cant bear the thought of not drinking, so thats my biggest challenge. Also DH is dangerously overweight, and I need to support him, and DS1 must sort out his fitness and stamina, so he can get back to sport after a recent injury.

So the plan is; running with DS1 - sensible eating - not drinking every day. Would love some support.

[HappyChristmasWalrusIsOver]

Hve weighed myself this morning

twas Not Good

However, I am going to be good today, and hve just ordered ;lots of healthy stuff from Tesco

Have actually got a craving for healthy food after stuffing my fat little face on choc and lager for the [past week (possibly month, now I conme to think of it)

[FlossALumpOfPud]

I'll join you! I've brought some new trousers - size 16's and I am well and truly wedged into them. I've put on weight since DD was born I think (and DP gently tries to tell me). Unfortunately we have a house full of crap food and a turkey and ham pie to eat, so I probably will start in the new year. I think I will go down the route of measuring myself rather than weighing (I can't bear to get on the scales...).

[HappyChristmasWalrusIsOver]

That means we cabn't eat cake when we get together floss

Oh well, we can dream about it instead

[LoveAngelGabriel]

Yep, need to lose a stone here. Have been living on wine, chocolate and roast dinners for a week. I'm doing the obvious, though, and waiting until Jan 1st to start the healthier lifestyle. Got to finish that bottle of bubbly in the fridge and get through a cupboard full of Quality Street first!

[bandgeek]

I weighed myself and I'm 11st 11. I can feel my belly wobble when I walk!

I've had a bowl of cereal for my breakfast and a glass of water (am trying to break my diet coke habit as well ) The thought of chocolate now is starting to make me feel sick - I think I have definitely overindulged!

[HappyChristmasWalrusIsOver]

Oh dear, it all started so well

Have just scoffed 2 walnut whi;s and a bar of choc

pig

[Minum]

Have managed not to have a glass of wine tonight for the first time in ages - I'm going to do it this time.

[Smithagain]

Can I join in? Have about four stone to lose.

I've just managed one year without gaining anything overall, which is something of an achievement for me. But I'm just hovering under 15 stone which is a barrier I DO NOT want to cross. Also have a very large mum, aunt and MIL whose examples I do not want to follow.

Did quite well yesterday, until about 9pm when I had a large Baileys chased down by two bit of Christmas cake. Hints for avoiding the evening crash-and-burn appreciated.

[colditz]

Bahhhh

I really should. My belt notch is getting tight for the first time (barring pregnancy) in about 5 years, and that's on TOP of the 4 or 5 stone I could already stand to lose. It's all on the tum too, very unhealthy. Didn't bother me too much while my weight was stable but my God, it can't go up any more.

So how are we going to do it? I am thinking of buying a dance work out video - if nothing else, it should be very amusing to watch as I flail wildly around my toy stuffed living room.

I suppose i should knock the butter and ff milk on the head too - I KNOW this has been the major contributor to the weight gain because usually I drink skimmed.

[minoux]

BOOT! (up the harris) What's a harris?

[colditz]

Smith, I am 14 stone and change, but i am only 5'3, and it really is all at the front, I don't have a noticable arse. I look about 6 months pregnnt

[bandgeek]

I ended up eating a whole (large size) bag of Walkers sensations yesterday, plus half a box of Milk Tray. Oops. At least when I've eaten them all that will be it

I bought the Stricly Come Dancing exercise DVD and I attempted to do some of it earlier on. I have found out I am an even worse dancer than Kate Garraway Still, if it works......

[Shiraz]

I'll join you!!!!

I completley lost it this year aswell - when we went to Cyprus in September!

I try to follow the SW plan too - but if i forget to take somethign with me to work then it all goes to pot eating in the staff canteen!

So as dp is away in Slaisbury at the moment on a contract and dd is at my parents i'm starting today so here goes:

BREKKIE - Alpen high fruit, semi skimmed milk and a cup of tea.

MID MORNING: Satsuma dn Twinings Pineapple Green tea too assist with detoxifying)

LUNCH - Two slices of wholemeal Toast, Beans and Sprinkling of cheese

DINNER - Turkey, Bacon and Boiled Egg salad with cranberry Sauce, followed by chopped fresh pineapple and melon....

[Shiraz]

Ooops my typing is appalling that last post!!!!
