Hi All
Ive just joined SW again today as I felt that I need to get control of my weight.

I stood on the scales a it flashed up 17st 4lb. All I could say to the consultant was my bathroon scales are well out Blush

I cannot believe that I let myself go that much...

So the all the hard work starts now Grin

I think it does but I don't do it, Chilli will be able to help. I am doing the Dukan Diet.

fivegomadindorset · 19/02/2011 21:11

Or Lucy who has lost a massive amount on it.

Good luck with your exams next week.

DaffadownDilly · 19/02/2011 21:19

Oooh that's great five. Would last me a lot longer than a glass of wine too.

Ok. So plan is?

rosieposey · 19/02/2011 21:20

Ah the perfect thread for me :) can I join in too? I have 5-6 stone to lose and have made a start 10 days ago, not sure of my weight today but should we post stats and what we would like to lose?

Am toying with the idea of slimming world but right at the moment am just doing calorie counting (around 1400 per day) it would be fab to have some weight loss buddies on the way down - by Christmas we should all be looking slimmer :)

fivegomadindorset · 19/02/2011 21:23

Plan is I think to find an eating plan to suit you and to boost/kick people up the ass.

DaffadownDilly · 19/02/2011 21:26

I have my plan, just need the boosting/kicking up the arse.

PositiveAttitude · 19/02/2011 21:28

Can I hop on board?

Food is my downfall Blush any variety, I'm not fussy!

WOnt be starting this week, though as we will be celebrating a very belated Christmas with DD1 who was snowed in throughout December and has had to work til now, but is travelling to join the family this week. Chocolates and turkey are waiting!

I'll mark my spot and come and join you at the beginning of March, Please!!

OK it is my birthday so may have buggered my Dukan with cashew nuts and wine.

DaffadownDilly · 19/02/2011 22:42

I think we should make a conscious effort to start on Monday then?

Chilli, even in my highly styleless opinion, you will look shit in sheet Wink

five, birthdays should be allowed to be slighlty Dukanless.

fivegomadindorset · 19/02/2011 22:52

Are we going to have a weigh in day?

juneybean · 19/02/2011 23:15

rosieposey · 20/02/2011 07:16

I hve have been good so far but this is the first full day of the diet Grin

fivegomadindorset · 20/02/2011 14:09

We are having a BBQ today with some friends, so lots of salads and meat, just won't have the jacket potato. Today I can do protein and veg/salad after my kick start.

rosieposey · 20/02/2011 14:17

Im in for Saturday morning. Hope everybody is having a good day today, Its freezing for a BBQ but im jealous - BBQ food is low fat, lovely and my favourite food (apart from curry!) so i hope it stays dry for you :)

Had a good day yesterday, not so sure about today though as Im having a bit of a hungry day today.

fivegomadindorset · 20/02/2011 14:19

The sun is shining and it is really mild here.

rosieposey · 20/02/2011 14:42

It was 5 degrees outside here in Wilts and i was shivering this morning - lucky you in Dorset!

I am with you....weighing top end of 16 Shock
I can lose the weight it just seems that keeping it off is the hard bit which i cant do Sad
I am happy around the 12.5 stone mark so that is my aim
Not sure which diet to follow though. love carbs but know it is not good for me, liked the WW points system but that has now changed and dont really want to go to a class to get the new details of the diet.

Chocolatespiders welcome..
I had the shock of my life when I got on the scales at sw my bathroom scales a stone out Shock. So insted of 4 stone I thought its now 5.
My problem is keeping it off. I will figure that one out when I get the weight off lol.

Someone might come along and explain the new ww
bits and pieces. Im doing SW its the same principles as when I went before.
