Anyone want to join me?

There is of course another week of indulgence left before we have to start but thought it might be good to get into the right mind set.

please - I keep saying it, but this time I really must try hard. If only I could just stick with it for about a month or so, it would be done. But I find it sooooo hard once the initial 'novelty' has worn off. So count me in.

Count me in!

You are right Furball it would only take a month or so (maybe two at the most) I'm sure we could all keep each other going for that long.

4th of Jan sounds good as i have lots of choccies to finish

Earlybird · 27/12/2005 14:04

Unfortunately for me, I think it will need to be "lose two stone in the new year".

Would definitely like to join in, but can't realistically until I'm back in the UK, which will be on 13 January. Will need a few days to sort myself out with food shopping, and then will be ready to get serious about shifting some weight!

well, yes, but what do you have in mind?

Just join us when you are ready Earlybird.

stitch, I wasn't going to be too regimental as everyone is different as to what works for them. Just thought it would be an idea to offer support/weigh-in/motivation whatever weightloss plan you decide to follow.

I think it will be WW points again for me. Together with exercise.

I am going to join some aquatone classes (once a week) and maybe losely follow WW points system as I lost 2 stone in a month doing that pre ds2.

tallulah · 27/12/2005 16:55

I need to lose at least a stone by the beginning of February but I'm not convinced I can do it without having to go back to WW.

edgetop · 27/12/2005 17:52

mazzystar · 27/12/2005 17:56

mazzystar · 27/12/2005 17:57

Detta · 27/12/2005 20:22
