Hello we did a thread a bit like this last year and it worked well so I thought I'd try it again.

I have a wedding to go to in 7 weeks and I'd like to lose 10 pounds. I'm going to follow a low fat diet and do more exercise.

I'll post my losses (and any gains) on a Weds morning.

Come and help me!

MrsMc - I am the same though, as soon as I stop counting points, I put weight on. It's not so much that I eat bad things, in fact, I think that I eat well in general, it's just if I don't keep track of what I eat, I can snack more than necessary. It's the night-time treats, instead of 2 biscuits with my ovaltine, it was ending up 6-7 So I am keeping a food diary at the moment. So yes, we should post what we eat, that will spur us on!! I have been going a week now already... started at 10'10 and this week weighed in at 10'8 - so did 2lbs!! Quite pleased with myself!

linjasmom - I don't know how to convert kilos into lbs, but I am sure someone will.

oops, I think we crossposted.... no sins today since I am fasting for lent (40 days without yummies for me ), but I fear there will be some to confess for me once Easter Sunday has come.... . Am thinking about going downstairs to get myself a carrot now though .

I would really like to join in (started doing ww at home and lost 5 kilograms so far).
I just need to know how much a stone is in the metric system. I am in Germany (am German also) and have absolutely no clue how much that could be in grams / kilograms and how many lbs or whatever are in a stone and so on.
Maybe someone could kindly explain it to me? I posted the same question on another thread in the big/slim/whatever.... section and seem to have killed it .
So if you don't want me to join in, let me know and I keep off....
Could use some virtual support though, have some more kilos to go.... hope they will go!!

Yipee! I have chums. Ready - I've done weight watchers and Scottish Slimmers and yet here I am . I have all the books but just need the discipline, I know you'll kick me into shape. I lost 5 pounds last year on the Mumsnet diet!

Last time, we posted what food we'd had too each day, made the thread a bit long so how about we confess sins instead?

Can I be in? I lost 2 1/2 stones last year, but am in the throes of putting the lot back on since Christmas! I really need to get motivated again.

I've been posting on this other thread too Maybe I should bring them over onto this one??

ovenREADYhotcrossbuns · 28/03/2007 16:54

Well... A long time ago, a friend of mine did Weight watchers, and when she left to go back to the States, she left me all the books. So I follow that, without going to the meetings and it really helps!!
