Lose a stone in the new year?

[MrsSpoon]

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.

I'm in, need to drop a dress size by Feb

Can I join too!!!

I'm doing e-diets and more exercise but still need a bit more motivation.

I need to lose at least one dress size for the end of february too, I've got a wedding to go to and last time I saw the people I know that are going I was 2 1/2 stone lighter!!!

Sigh. I'll join too. Am still on holiday MrsSpoon, notching up the cals as I type... but will join you as soon as I am back home. x

can I aim for 2 stone (may take some time though!)

I am having a dry January - so that is a start.
After that, well, I need to exercise... but it is so catch 22 isn't it?

Hate exercising when I am fat...but can't loose weight unless I do IYKWIM.

Count me in too. Weighed myself in Boots yesterday and am the heaviest I've been in about ten years. Will probably do slimming world again but not sure if I will go to class.

Cound me in!

My diet starts tuesday 4th - thats when Sainsburys are delivering all my fresh fruit and veg etc etc etc

Got post baby fat x 2 to get rid of - my own fault for only having a 15 month age gap!

I currently weigh in at 12 stone and I am 5'1 and a size 14/16

TARGET - 10 STONE, Size 12/14

Hi, im up for that. i lost 2st before xmas by doing atkins but feel like i have put a bit back on and still have four stone to loseos..............count me in

I NEED to join too i have 3 stone to lose just had a baby (she is 3 months old) and i really want to get thinner for summer - tbh its really getting me down i went to the sales today and everything i tried on made me feel even worse i looked hideous.

The only thing to do is to lose this weight please keep me on track. i was thinking about going swimming but i have stretch marks all the way down my thigh so havent really got the courage to wear a swimming costume cant think of what else i could do though as im really short of energy, any tips on how to find more energy when you're getting up every night with a baby?

also can anyone recommend a good set of scales?

LoveMyGirls - They say that walking is as good as exercise as any, maybe you could get out with the pram for 1/2 an hour a day or every other day? I know it's bloody hard especially when it's blooming freezing outside, but that is my intention. This time last year I started running and loved it, well, say loved it, can't motivate myself todo more than a walk this year! I am also going to get 'pump it up' a home exercise dvd thingy? lets hope I can sum up the energy to open the box!!!!

Would it make sense for us all to have a weigh-in on the same day? That way we all have something to aim at weekly? (or cringe at

Oooh I would like to join too! I have approx 2.5 stone to lose, but they say to give yourself smaller goals that are achievable dont they?!

I am going to try eating better - no picking or sweet stuff! And cutting out alcohol and take aways.

I also want to get a dog, so I can take it for walks and hopefully lose weight that way - I hate gyms!

So when do we start - 2nd Jan?

Count me in

Me! Me! Me!
Can I join ... hve NO idea how muh I need to lose as I threw out the scales about 4 months ago .....
But I'd love to drop at least 1 jeans size and 2 top sizes

Count me in. do we have weekly weigh ins

I weigh 14st and I am 5.3 and look absolutely fat and horrid. I have no joy these days looking for clothes. I will be bringing out the same old black trousers for new years eve that I have for the past 3 years.

I would really like to lose some weight this new year and feel good about myself again.

Brilliant there are loads of us! Well done!!! We can do it!

The official start is Tuesday 3rd of January but if you want to start a little before or after then that's fine. Thought we would do it as weekly thing, start with a stone and see how we go.

Will probably work best as a weekly thing, new thread every week, starting on Tuesday with our weigh in (if you don't want to post your actual weight then that's fine just post your loss each week).

Unless anyone feels they would like to keep a spreadsheet and post the results in MN Mamas' style?

Roll on Tuesday!

Can I join?

I am 5ft 8 and weigh 14st 8, the heaviest I have ever been! Would like to be 12 stone, like I was 2 years ago but a stone loss would be a start.

Could really do with the support and motivation!

I don't mind doing the chart. I need something to do as an incentive. If everyone is ok with this I will do it.

I have tried ww and slimming world before and think I will go back to good old calorie counting. If I'm 14st now does anyone know roughly how many calories I should have a day?

Fantastic UCM, think you've got yourself a job! The question is whether you want everyone to e-mail you (setting up a separate anonymous e-mail address) and you collate the results and post them here or whether you want to take everyone's results from the thread and you pick out the details to post so that it is easier for everyone to see?

Meant to add, fine with me UCM! Hopefully will give me the incentive to see it!

Good Grief, Hang on, will do it now. Says she whose only excersize is via fingers on MN. You are right about giving my email to everyone, I do have another, hang on don't know what it is.

I won't be back on MN until Tue when the weight starts falling off. See you all then!!!

Look I am totally not up for this until the day after tomorrow as I am already fat and I am not going to turn into V.Beckham tomorrow.

But those of you that want to email me your weight, we will have a weekly weigh in and it will go into a chart for members ie' people who contact me. AND we will lose weight - together!!

I think we will have a laugh and as I have never dieted properly before either, have a good support network. I can keep the chart private for us by the way, in fact I will. I will only send it to members of this clique.

Gosh Have waited to be part of a clique for years.
