only just feeling a little better today BUT i am now 11st10 so a few more lbs to go and i will have lost 4stone

hope everyone has a merry xmas if i dont get back to this thread and not too much indulgence >

Hope you are all feeling much better now aristo - wow on that weight loss! I am about where you started now..

Hope you all have a good christmas and come back to this thread (even if you do indulge - we can all just be re-motivated together!).

I have discovered the answer to weight loss is having a one year old baby at christmas!!! No time for snacking... I lost 1 lb in the last week!!!!! I have never eaten so little at christmas...

I hope you all had a lovely christmas...

Herc to lose 1lb is brilliant over xmas.

myself and DCs are almost better now however it is DHs turn to be ill

i have fluctuated between 11st 8 and 11 st 11 ATM so dont think i have lost/gained any so far .......

how is everyone else doing?

Happy New Year everyone! Hope you are all OK and having a nice time...

Hello tisonlyme, you are very welcome here. I had about 7 stone to lose at my heaviest now I have about 5 so am slowly going in the right direction. I've really found this thread useful for reminding me what I'm trying to do! Just finishing take away pizza here so not sure about tomorrow's weigh in!!!!

Hello, me again. I managed another lb this week, so all in all a good Christmas for me for once. Dh is finally joining me as he weighed last night and was shocked by his weight - I think he had a different sort of good Christmas!!!

Happy birthday for earlier this week aristo.

Silver, hope you will come back and join us.

Tisonlyme, let us know how you go this week.

Anyone else out there lurking good luck too and please join us!!!

Hello can I join?

I need to loose 3 stone and I would love to achieve my goal for when the weather starts getting good, more or less May. I'm currently 12.5 stone and I want to be 9.5 stone. Going to eat healthy and use the wii fit.

welcome tisonly i had 6 stone to lose and now only 2, so another one who is getting there .....
Herc another lb at xmas WELL DONE!
personally i am still 11st 11 so not lost but not gained either thanks for the birhday wishes - i had a lovely day, lots of presents and out for lunch with DCs & ILs

Hi everyone and welcome to newcomers. I had 7 St to lose and gave lost 1 so far, all going in the right direction!

I was a but crap over Xmas, well nit bad over Xmas but pigged out over new year. Back on track now rhi and off to get weighed tonight. Think I've put about 3 lbs back on, but had lost 18 lbs in the 4 weeks before Xmas so still fairly happy.

Well done Hercules! Losing weight at Christmas is a great achievement!

'scuse typos!

Well just got weighed and gave put 2 lbs on in 2 weeks. Considering the amount I've eaten I'm pretty happy with that!

And can I just say a massive WELL DONE to aristocat?! I haven't kept track of the thread v well and had no idea you've lost so much weight. That's amazing and v inspiring.

thanks silver

i am a new woman ........ and thoroughly enjoying buying new clothes.

God yes, that's what I miss so much. About six years ago I lost 4 stone and went down from size 16 to size 8 and that sort of weight loss really is life changing. And buying clothes that you actually like is sooooo much fun. I really miss that.

have had a take-away curry tonight with DH ......... O M G it was delish!!!

can I join? I have about 8 stone to lose to be at a healthy weight. I've just signed back up to slimming world and started following it today. It's made worse by the fact that atm i'm having to use either microwave or slow cooker as waiting for cooker to be fitted. I've been told by gp not to up my exercise atm due to health problems so only have healthy eating to work at

Go for it unicornlover I've so far managed on the eating part alone and am going to use exercise as my next kine of attack in a short while!

Aristo -yum, enjoy!

Hi unicorn. I know it's daunting to have a lit of weight to lose, but if we don't start now it'll porovably be even more to lose in the future. How long til you get a cooker?

Hopefully you'll be encouraged and inspired by others on this thread. I find it helpful to remember that there are other people facing the same issues and choices as me.

Aristo - I adore takeaway curries. Had one over new year and it was fab. Hope you enjoyed it!

Hello, can I join? I've got about 40 lbs of "baby" weight to lose ("baby" is three and a half years old!) I'm determined that 2011 will be the year I finally get healthy!

take away last night was very much a treat, however it used to be the norm

ATM my DCs are doing a food dudes scheme at school where it encourages them to eat their 5 a day and try new fruits/vegetables.

2011 is the year to change!

Hi Everyone - can I join too please?

I was on a great weightloss thread here some months ago and it really helped focus me AND I lost weight. However, somehow I lost the momentum and gained it all . So, I am determined that this is the year for me to finally get it sorted.

I have about 4st to lose to be in a good place, weight-wise.

What plans do people follow? At the moment I am being sensible and cutting the rubbish out, the next step is to add in proper exercise

Hi timba. I do weightwatchers and I think a few others do too. Some do slimming world (too confusing for me I'm afraid, others swear by it), I think some people just eat more sensibly and exercise.

I don't exercise at all really, but plan to do some when I 've lost a nit more weight (too embarrassed at the mo!) as in the past I've found it makes a big difference.

I've been just trying to eat sensibly & have just started counting calories. I don't have time for much proper exercise (or the money to join a gym) but am going to start with exercise DVDs on Monday.

Does anyone else find themselves just mindlessly eating? I do! Every night when DH and I are watching TV after DS has gone to bed I feel like I need a snack. Which I don't!
