Need to loose A LOT of weight.... fancy joining me?

[phoenixflower]

I need to loose half my body weight to be considered a healthy weight.

Started today and would love to support and have the support of others!

Who fancies joining me?

Well done!! That's such an amazing thing to do! Plateau points are a bastard and beating them feels soooo good .

I'm in the UK now with loads of meals out planned so we'll have to see how good I manage to be when there are chips on all the menus. I did bring Davina with me though so all is not lost.....

Well.....a week in the UK hasn't done me any favours - McDonalds is evil (but oh so yummy!)

Haha! A week hasn't done me any favours either... according to scales I had put back on to my plateau and more on Monday morning. However I had a cheeky weigh this morning and was back under so am hoping for good things this week. I have just ordered a take away tonight, but have ordered an italian seafood linguine in a tomato based sauce so am thinking not too bad...

Who else is still out there and how are you doing? Basically I've been more or less the same for 6 weeks now...

I'm still here! Been lurking not posting as am being a greedy cos at the moment. I stayed the same for about 2 weeks so used that as an excuse to eat even mire and gave put around 4 lbs on. Nit been too bad today do hopefully back on track.

Greedy cow, not cos!

thought you might be lurking silver...!

I'm ALWAYS lurking! But I only post when I'm doing ok myself or when I need I motivation boost very selfish really

I just bought a pair of jeans from Sainsbury's - size 14!!!!!! And a top that is a 16 which is a minor miracle as I have the world's biggest norks!

i am here too - thread had disappeared for me

however ...... i am a comfy size 14 too gibbon and also had new jeans this week i have lost 4lb recently and weight has started to decrease again! YAY!

hope everyone is OK

Well done on the size 14 and 16, I still have a long way to go I think... I have had a rubbish week. For no reason yesterday I popped into M&S to get an onion, some cream cheese and some basil for our dinner. Forgot the cream cheese, bought a small pack of chocolate eggs, a packet of crisps, a packet of golden cream biscuits and a pot of chocolate crispie things. I didn't eat all of it, but enough of it to feel a bit sick and then was really annoyed with myself - I am planning all my meals this week, going shopping tomorrow and then working 4 out of 5 days next week so hopefully little chance to be 'naughty'. DH is also away now until next saturday so there is no chance of one of us popping out for a sweet treat after dinner either which will help - lots of early nights for me I think!

Hurray for the jeans aristo!

Poirot, I got back to France from the UK today and was so depressed to be back that I've managed to eat a pain au chocolat, a packet of crisps, 2 mini mars bars and some popcorn. All without realising what I was doing - how's that possible??? It's like my body takes over my mind and goes on a hoover mission around the kitchen. Won't be in those jeans for long if I carry on like that!

Oh, and MIL didn't even comment on the 2 stone that I've lost since I last saw her. Although, on the plus side she didn't say, "I saw a girl who reminded me of you the other day - very pretty but a big girl like you" which she's managed to drop in every time I've seen her in the 8 years I've been with dh so I guess thats progress.

That is massive progress gilbon, practically a compliment

And in other good news this week I stayed 2lbs below that plateau point, so the lowest I have been so for over two years o that is quite exciting for me...

WOOHOOOO! That's fantastic - well done!

well done Herc .......things can only get better (as i am told ) it is much easier to eat less and be more active if the sun is shining

i am 11-6 ATM so going down slowly .....

11-6 Wow!!! That's great!

I'm down to 15-6 now - woohoo! At the end of August I was 17-4. Slow progress, but still not tracking so hoping this time it is for life if that makese sense!

well done Herc hope you have treated yourself to something nice

Please may I join you? I have 11st to lose.

I joined SW last night see my other thread here: tonight I confronted my demon

Hi weigh, welcome!

So impressed by the losses Poirot and aristo . I'm just correcting what I screwed up while I was in the uk at the moment. I haven't weighed myself yet (too scared!!) but I can tell by my face that it's starting to come off again.

I agree with the slow weight loss. Any time I've lost weight quickly it's all gone back on so I'm hoping that my 2 stone in 6 months is more maintainable.

welcome weighheyhey i think you have done the most important thing and decided to take action!

i am not with SW or WW (but others on here are) but we all help motivate each other personally i have found going tee-total good for me, those calories could be food instead of alcohol

heres to happy healthy eating

HI Weigh, of course you can join us - the more the merrier!

I agree with the taking the time thing - this time, similar to gilbon, I have lost almost 2 stone in just under 7 months. I have just had almost 2 months of plateau and have just broken through and am on my way down again. I still have about 4.5 stone to lose.

Sometimes on our thread we go a bit quiet, but we are always here so post anyway and you'll probably help us keep talking too! I tend not to post when I'm burying my head in the same about not losing anything so its good when others post as then I reply and remember what I'm trying to do!
