Hello, this is a follow on from the half stone for September thread! Natty and I decided it was time to re-think our goals!!

Good title.

We can do it lets think positive thoughts today, off home to eat rivita's for lunch today.

Are you being extra good today for weigh in this evening?

Donbean · 27/09/2006 11:31

So is that a pound a week, is it 13 weeks till christmas????

BudaBabe · 27/09/2006 11:33

Am hoping to start IVF next week (started last month but abandoned cycle as only one follicle).

Need to lose weight too. Any suggestions for a healthy plan that I can do whilst TTC?

Am toying with WW?

Natty1806 · 27/09/2006 11:48

Yes only 13 weeks to Christmas!!

WW is good, as long as you are counting point or calories or fat and doing regular exercise it should help. Do not go on any fad diets that cut out carbs etc.

Think we all know what is healthy it is just a case of being motivated enough to only be bad say one or two days a week and then good the rest of the week i find the 80/20 rule works well.

SO does this mean we have 2 new comers?

Natty1806 · 27/09/2006 11:50

Forgot to say good luck with the IVF, keep us updated.

I weigh on a Friday and everyone normally posts once a week to say if they have lost or gained weight, it is up to you if you post your starting weight.

Of course I am Natty! Think I might just have to tell the teacher the truth tonight which is that my body does this when I am under stress.

For the benefit of Donbean and Bubababe - I have put on 5 pounds this week, not been very bad food wise at all but am selling my house and am stressed with work never mind TTC so it is all adding up for me at the mo!

Hello Donbean, it is indeed 13 weeks until the food fest (though let's face it, it really begins at the beginning of December doesn't it!)

Hello Bubababe - Good luck with the IVF. Sorry to hear about last month. I follow (well try too ) Scottish Slimmers but I have used WW too, the principle is the same, eat less calories & fat and lose weight. I just prefer the SS classes to the WW ones. Good luck with it, we are here to help and motivate you.

ive lost 2 stone at ww and kept it off for the last 6 months, its creaping back because i am SO stressed with work at the moment.
I want to get another 10lbs or so off so would love to join in if thats ok.

BudaBabe · 27/09/2006 12:54

Right - count me in then. Won't be attending WW as i live in Budapest but have info from before.

Better replace dead batteries in scales then - have been using that as an excuse not to start!

desperate2bmum · 27/09/2006 20:30

hiya loving th enew title and the new target - £1 a week sounds good to me and actually achievable!..actually ask me that in a few weeks

coggy · 27/09/2006 20:33

Hello...I'm on holiday but have followed Trace's lead and nipped on here while DH and FIL (who we're staying with) are watching TV.

So.....Christmas Crackers here we come eh?!

Tell us how it's gone tonight MrsMc.

My weigh-in next week is going to be SOOOOOOOOOOO bad.

I actually can't watch the TV programme the others are watching because it's a food programme and I have eaten so much that it is making me feel sick!!!

swift1 · 27/09/2006 20:45

Can I join in too? would love to lose a stone , and it would give me something else to focus on for a while!

coggy · 27/09/2006 20:54

The more the merrier.....welcome!

Natty1806 · 28/09/2006 08:10

That is lots of us signing up for this, fingers crossed together we can all get through the next few weeks and lose at least 7 pounds each and feel slimmer for Christmas, ready to put it all back on

Morning ladies, this is great there are at least 6 of us, that'll be great motivation.

Well last night I got weighed and had put on 2.5 pounds so it was not as bad as I thought but I am still V with myself. The good thing is (if there is one) that I still desperatley want to continue so I am going to make a really good go of it this week. With your help!

Ummm Pinkranger, that is a very good question and one that I am to answer. Suffice to say that the wagon will be making a re-appearance on Monday!!
