BDV - How often do you drink wine? I was drinking maybe 4 bottles a week..... probably more! It's SOOOOOOO calorific. I don't particularly like spirits but my size 12 pal had lost a stone by changing to gin..... thought it was an easy diet to try out.

I cannot diet.... hate it.... love food.... hate obsessing about it. I stopped eating chocolate every day too. When I was pg I had a bar of chocolate and a cup of coffee for breakfast..... the habit continued afterwards. Now I had an elevensies bar and coffee.... tehy taste like cakes!! Not that low in calories and fat, but lower than chocolate. I'm a great believer in "Every little helps"... if it wasn't bastard Tescos line!!!

natts and toothache, where are you both from?

BubblesDeVere · 23/05/2005 22:21

I am desperate to get weight off, especially after seeing myself on telly and in the papers, i knew i was big, but didn't realise I was that big.

hi there, I am on glass of wine no5. mother in law gone home. Dh away for the week (he works at Sainsburys, they are also shite), and I am 4ft 11 and 11 stone. Do I qualify to chat. I nearly typed gin instead of grin, what does that say about me. lol

Toothache · 23/05/2005 22:19

When I met DH I was 9stone 12.... the lightest I have EVER been as a healthy adult. I was a size 12 and felt fab. But that was only coz I was going to the gym 5 days a week to train for an army physical (didn't get in coz of asthma.... but sooooo happy that I didn't!). I'm thinking now that I'd have to do that again to be that thin again...... SOD THAT!

I'm a size 15 now... which as you may appreciate is a tad awkward!

When i was 19 i weighed 10 stone and am now over double.

BubblesDeVere · 23/05/2005 22:15

what have you been drinking natts?

Toothache · 23/05/2005 22:15

I'm about 11 and half stone. I think. I'm weighing myself in Kilos as i don't wanna know!! I changed my tipple from wine to gin (and vodka now!) and have lost 3.8kilos in 6 weeks. Shows you how much wine I was consuming!!!

I have no willpower. I have 2 stone to lose as I'm only 5'4". If I was 10 stone I'd be pleased. One of my friends is 5'8" and is miserable at 10stone!! She's a size 12 and hates it. Wants to be 8.5 stone and an 8/10 (what she was before 2 kids). WTF???

BubblesDeVere · 23/05/2005 21:56

Oh yes I was, sweating like a pig and the biggest in the picture, in fact, after seeing myself on the news, I think I was the biggest out of the whole 5000 women there, but, i still got my medal and our team made over 900. There are 11 of us going together next year, could be more
