Go for it! I've just started another thread, but haven't got all that much to lose. If it helps, I have a friend who's lost 9.5st so far on Slimming World, over 17 months.

I have alot to lose as well and I have a big birthday this year to encourage me to go for it!
I'm starting jan 2nd as I know on 1st I will be grumpy and tired so not in right frame of mind!
Also Monday feels like a better weigh day for me.
I am aiming to do it myself using the wii fit scales and for exercise as well, but if that doesnt work I will prob go back to weight watchers as it worked for me in the past.

I have about 6/7 stone to lose. I'm with you. Not going to a club, though, I'm going to use foodfocus.com to count calories and I intend to hit the gym in the new year.

Count me in - i want to lose about 6 stone too...I'm doing SW as well and(counting the 2 pound ive put on over christmas) have lost nearly a stone already but so far to go!

cardibach · 30/12/2011 17:19

I amstarting on Monday, although i have 'tidied up' my diet a bit already, buying lots of fruit and veg and starting to make better choices. GOod luck everyone!

RosemaryandThyme · 30/12/2011 23:25

Squeeze up ladies, room for me too.

Scared to weigh myself - but know have lots to loose.

Marymaryalittlecontrary · 31/12/2011 15:41

I am about 16 stones, so want to lose about 6. My husband and I will be TTC this year, so I know I stand a better chance of getting pregnant if I lose weight, so hopefully that will motivate me.

Furball · 31/12/2011 16:11

Me! I've been on a diet for xxx years. obviously I'm really crap at it. I did lose 2 stone a few years back with slimming world but have put it all+ back on.

I'm gonna do a 3 week rolling sw menu and take it from there. know what you are going to the kitchen for.

I've also done couch to 5K xx times and have restarted - infact I'm such a pro at it I started straight in on week 4.

Will weigh Monday but I assume I need to lose at least 2.5 probably 3 stone.

I am starting this week, scary as I don't want to give up the food I love but know I need to!

Hows everyone doing?

I started yesterday very well - even managed a 3 mile walk

lets hope it continues

What food is it jingling that you don't want to give up?

cardibach · 03/01/2012 11:15

I started yesterday - Slimming World online. Not much giving up involved, but it works. It has changed since I last did it, but is easier - and I intend this to be the last time I start a diet. This time it will work.

I have also googled for personal trainers - back of beyond here, so will have to travel a little way, but I emailed her as I need to make major changes.

livinonaprayer · 04/01/2012 08:14

Morning all! I am starting slowly this week as I still have the children off school which I find makes it more difficult!
I am trying to cut back on food and eat sensibly this week and will crack on with fitting in more exercise next week.
I weighed myself using the wii fit on Monday morning and set myself a target on there too.
How are others getting on?

cardibach · 04/01/2012 12:41

I've stuck to the diet for the last few days and went to a Personal Trainer today. I feel better - I think it's because I have taken control of the situation and done something constructive.

JinglingAllTheWay · 04/01/2012 18:07

Well done to you all. I've been trying tO snack less!
