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.

Right Mrs Spoon, I think we should start this on Monday 2nd. Are you up for that.

Everyone who wants to join should weigh themselves and let me know.
I WILL NOT PUBLISH THE CHART, only for members.

DustAnyone · 31/12/2005 00:33

I have emailed you UCM

UCM · 31/12/2005 00:50

I have 5 emails from all of the women who want to change their life including me. Lets Go Girls

Can I join in too. It sounds just what I need after a very overindulgent christmas and new year. Will email you UCM.

Here's to a healthier 2006. happy New Year

Auntybrandybutter · 31/12/2005 10:10

thought I might do the special k for a week and kick start myself!

snufflepuss · 31/12/2005 10:14

Me too. Think I need to lose a stone. I have dodgy bathroom scales that aren't particularly accurate but I guess it doesn't matter as long as the reading goes down .

Will email my weight to you

Auntybrandybutter · 31/12/2005 10:15

i can only get weighed when its sunny!!!

Furball · 31/12/2005 10:16

why? have you got solar powered scales??

Auntybrandybutter · 31/12/2005 10:18

yes!! thought they were a good idea!! but they are rubbish!!! anyway you always feel happier when its sunny, so it doesnt seem that bad!!!

pindy · 31/12/2005 10:19

I have emailed!!! First time i have been on the scales for ages! I think I may have sent to much information though cause i gave a break down of my BMI too I wasnt sure what info was needed

spilla · 31/12/2005 13:33

Count me in ! I need to lose two but the first will be a start.

4th Jan sounds good as everything back to normal by then

sylvev · 31/12/2005 14:40

Hi
Can I join in too? I am terrible at trying to lose weight and need to lose 2 stone. (Going to N. Zealand at end of March, so I hopefully have that as an incentive). I'll e-mail my weight.
Good luck everyone. My dh is groaning at the thought of me trying to diet again, although he's looking a little tubby too.......

nanneh · 31/12/2005 15:52

hi - I would like to join in too. I am planning to join my local WW classes from 4th Jan. I lost about 1 stone with them last time I did this (back in the early 1990's) and need to do it again since I have become more and more chubby being at home with a 18 month old and a full fridge has not helped

me23 · 31/12/2005 16:38

hi i'm up for joining too. i need to lost 2 stone. im heavier since i had dd six months ago then what i was at full term

Crystaltips · 31/12/2005 16:44

Hi there I cannot send you my weight until I get to the gym .... but I am still in - THANKS

straw · 31/12/2005 17:07

I will join too. Have done a stone and half last year by June but got half of it back. I am determined to loose two stones by July so I can get pregnant again, otherwise I would be a little tank.
