Well two days to go....where has everyone gone?!

KateF · 30/08/2005 22:09

I'm still around sweetbean. Is it Thursday we are going to weigh ourselves? My ww weighing day is Monday but I don't mind having another day. I think I will just post how much weight lost rather than actual weight though!!

hi everyone i'm still hear !! i have to say that im a little nervous about tommorrow!!!!!!! i'm off to boots to get my self weighted on there scales and find out my "ideal" weight and then try and aim for some where around there. have we decided if we are posting are actual weights ??? or just what we want to loos? good luck for the weigh in tommorw andf i hope that you can all post your goal weights just remember that no matter how heavy we are on the scales tommorw it's ok cos thats where it stops and its down hill from then on good luck xxx

Weigh in tomorrow? I don't mind whether we post weight or amount to lose or whatever... perhaps we should do whatever we individually feel happy with. It's support we can help with the numbers don't matter I suppose. What do you think?

I've done WW before and it really works if you do point everything or stick to the Switch thing. I'm going to start there I think so just healthier eating, tons of water and a smaller plate. Last time I found that drinking water (at least 2litres) a day had the biggest effect. I just need to practise what I'm preaching, unfortunately when it comes to food I don't find it easy. Theory: A. Practical: Crap!

I lost just under a stone in 9 weeks on calorie count diet.

Back to comfort eating and need a kick up the jacksy to get back into it

KateF · 31/08/2005 20:33

What diet are you on edgetop? I started at needing to lose about 41/2 stone so we are both in it for the long haul!

compo · 01/09/2005 10:53

Hi, can I join too. I'm 10st4 this morning. Was about 9st4 before got pregnant with ds 2 years ago My problem os overeating when at home all day and not doing enough exercise. I've decided to cut out carbs at lunch time and have salad and fish instead. It worked on the lead up to my wedding!! Although I was younger and much less saggy then!

sanchpanch · 01/09/2005 12:45

i weighed 15.5 this morning argghhhh, but 2 stone less than what i was 2 months ago Yippee

KateF · 01/09/2005 12:47

ok, here goes...
I was 15.7 this morning. - I blame pregnancy! So i guess I am here for long haul too, I would like to be 10st (ideally 8 but lets be realistic) First goal is 13.7 by Xmas, I figure its 15 weeks away, so 2lb a week.. I am gonna do somehting ba\sed on weightwatchers switch, but i am guessing that anyhting that doesnt included copious amoutns of chocolate a day is gonna be a big help!!
