Page 12 | 52 weeks to lose 52 pound. Anyone in?

TotallyAddictedToLurking · 2013-12-26T19:58:21+00:00

I am 4 stone over weight and it's making me very unhappy. I've been saying I'll lose weight for the last two years! Instead I've just gotten fatter. I know most people don't keep up their new years resolutions but I am hoping having a thread on here will help. If anyone is interested please feel free to join me. I will be using weight watchers but I would love anyone to join. I intend to start on Jan 1st. I've bought a nice diary to write my food in. I'd love it if people could share meal plans and recipie ideas.

I am most definitely in!!
My name is pollylyn on MFP (I have already added a few of you). I really need to get my arse in gear this year and lose a lot of weight, probably more than 52lbs to be truthful but anything will be better than how I am just now.
I am going to be doing Slimming World starting on 7th January, but I will start cutting down and watching what I am eating on MFP.
I really want to get pregnant this year, but I know that I can still do slimming world if I do manage it - so no excuses.
I am a bit ashamed to admit how heavy I am and to tell the truth 2230 at night probably isn't the best time to weigh in, so I will in the morning and update for the stats. I think I will go and take some before photos too, to give me some motivation.

Ive had a quick wozz through the calendar and the Bank Holidays look like good days to track:

Easter Mon - 16lbs
May BH - 21lbs
August BH - 34lbs
Christmas Week - 51lbs

MerylStrop · 28/12/2013 22:38

I don't want to add my weight, though it is no more or less than anyone else's on here. I want to lose pretty much 52lbs! I will post plusses and minusses.....

Did a half hour hot yoga today, just a quick but quite challenging one, and cycled there and back. Have not addressed my Xmas portion control attitude yet, and just had a glass of wine.

Going to do the month of booze abstinence thing from the 1st (easy, really only drink at my book group and a bit of prosecco at Xmas), cut out all sugar and sweeteners and white carbs, and 5:2. Might do a fast on Monday so it doesn't all hinge on New Year-ness.

BrokenButNotFinished · 28/12/2013 23:19

I haven't read the whole thread yet, but I'm in. I have weighing scales and batteries - but not necessarily in conjunction. I find it very easy to put weight on - and have done so more than usual this year when a few injuries have prevented me doing my usual exercise. No idea how much I need to lose, but it's got to be at least three stones. I feel I'm looking down a fat tunnel with type 2 diabetes at the end of it...

On phone, so can't cut and paste.

RachAgnes: start/current weight 11st 6lb. Target weight 9st 0lb. Using 5:2, C25K and maybe swimming (if I date dig out my costume)

HoLilyChristmas311 · 29/12/2013 04:42

Thank you for those who added me on mfp. Not sure who said but really like the Idea of changing one habits a week. No snacking in the evening will be mine. I'm a lone parent and evenings are long.

Changed back to my original username.

WoodBurnerBabe · 29/12/2013 07:26

Going out for lunch today at Frankie & Benny's. I have been vair good and chosen my meal in advance in MFP. Should hopefully allow me to maintain some semblance of self control...

Just realise that my usual choice is probably, at 1140 calories, the most calorific thing on the whole menu...

And am avoiding the cinema popcorn trap by delegating child supervision to DH and BIL. SIL and I are going shopping instead :-)

Hi French! me will add you now,I'm gingerchubs.

My starting weight is 13st 11lbs.
Height 5ft 11ins
Goal weight 10st 7llbs

I thought I weighed at least 14.5 stone when I joined, hope I can still stay?

AtticusMcPlatypus · 29/12/2013 09:02

I'd love to join in with this too. A few years ago I lost nearly 4 stone with SW but I have lost my way again recently. I'm now nearly up to my previous weight so am desperate to do something about it. I will be starting on the 2nd as have NYE and a wedding to get through before then. I'm going to try MFP - never used it before but like the idea of being able to track everything. I'm kateluliz and my starting weight is 13.4 and I'm 5'3". If I could lose 52lbs that would take me down to 9.8 which would be amazing!

delbee · 29/12/2013 12:28

Hi all, I was going to start SW on 2 jan, but feeling crap so started today. I'm logging food on mfp although it might not be right calorie wise. My mfp name is adele_30.
Start weight: 12 st 4 lbs
Height: 5'6
Goal weight: 9 st 7 lbs

I will weigh on a Monday too.

I know this is not 52 lbs so hope it is still ok to be here. Good luck everyone

shutitthepresentsareinthere · 29/12/2013 12:58

I'm on mfp as shutitweirdo
Start weight 17st 0
Height 5ft 7
Goal weight 11st 4

I've got 84lbs to lose in total but 52lbs is a good start.
I will weigh in Monday mornings.

Good luck all

animalmagic84 · 29/12/2013 13:28

Hi, I'd also like to join. I am currently at a horrific 14st 8lbs. I'm going to start on 1st January and start actually going to WW meetings on 7th January. I'm at the heaviest I've ever been for a long time and I'd like to lose 3 stone.
