Anybody fancy losing a stone and a half by Easter?

I have just weighed myself and the results were hideous. I need to start taking some steps to shift some pounds - the first one being moving away from the Christmas chocolates. Does anybody fancy joining me?
It is 16 weeks until Good Friday so losing a stone and a half is very doable. I am a ww monthly pass member but haven't attended meetings regularly or followed the plan properly since the Summer
Please come and motivate me.

Parenthood it's a 30 day programme with protein shakes as meal replacement and vitamins. I lost a stone with it in Sept just replacing my breakfast so I'm doing it because it works and it's easy for me. I've lost 20lb with ww before too but I find it hard to keep track at the moment I've got so much on.
Will be great to share healthy low cal meal ideas and exercises too.
I got into outdoor swimming last year but then ruptured my Achilles playing netball (had only been back playing a couple of months) so not exercised for ages. Am looking to get back into swimming (in the pool) but also anything else I can try!

Pumpkin567 · 31/12/2013 12:29

I'd like to join, I need to loose one stone by Easter.

Really I'm looking to get my pre DC body back. Toning is my biggest goal.

I'm having a dry Jan.
eating a mainly soup diet with a protein breakfast. (1500 c a day)
Shred ( daily)and running ( x3 times per week)

DumDum32 · 31/12/2013 12:50

Ok so u guys sound so good & determined.... I'm just plodding along on diet alone.... :( physically can't do any exercise :(

LilyJoAndMe · 31/12/2013 15:13

Me too. I need and want to lose about a stone and a half. I haven't weighed myself in ages but I know I'd like to get under 65 kilos by Easter. Then I'd be able to get into lots of the lovely clothes I already have and feel more confortable with my body. I also think I look prettier when I am slimmer.

TeaOneSugar · 31/12/2013 15:23

My Rosemary Conley DVD came today, I'm going to start it tomorrow although I'm not starting the diet until Thursday.

SomethingLovely · 31/12/2013 15:23

Can I join you guys?! I'd already mentally said I'd like to lose 1-2 stone by Easter so this is perfect timing! I'm a bit vague as to what's possible as DD is only 15 weeks old and I'm breastfeeding and T1 diabetic so there's some extra variables in the mix! But I'm exercising and also plan to do a 5k run at Easter - just got to cut down on eating such crap! Far too many puddings and chocolate. Put on about 25 kg (so 4 stone) during pregnancy, and lost half that already but have out a ban on buying any new clothes til I'm a size 10! So my scruffy maternity jeans are my incentive...

BoozyBoots · 31/12/2013 17:53

I'm in.
It's my 30th birthday late march & i'm determined 2 be a stone lighter for that!
Will be starting a cleansing detox next week, then good old ww.

LilyJoAndMe · 31/12/2013 18:54

I'm really happy not to be doing this alone now. I'm 76 kilos which is nearly 12 stone. I'd like to get down to 64 kilos which is just over 10 stone. In stones my goal weight sounds a lot to me. But I always seem to block at 64 kilos - so I'll aim for that rather than over-facing myself and failing.

ToysRLuv · 31/12/2013 21:39

I'm aiming for a stone by Easter. I'm already just about in the normal weight BMI range, so I might be over-ambitious, but I will try!

bennybenbear · 01/01/2014 00:27

Happy New Year! Here's to successful weight loss and meeting our goals for all of us in 2014!

MegBusset · 01/01/2014 00:32

I'm in, I need to lose half a stone of festive/winter podge and am incapable of doing so without moral support!

I'm going to get back to running when DC are back at school, am aiming to cut back on booze and seriously lay off the cake and chocs.

Bakingnovice · 01/01/2014 08:13

Shall we have a list if who is in, what they want to lose and how they're doing it to spur us on and get to know each other?

Baking -want to lose 20lb by continuing running and MFP.

Just add your names and details.

Mary, wants to lose 1 - 2 stones

(eats paleo/primal and tends to be high good fats, medium protein and low carb.. currently ... well, thought I was 9 stone 12 but that wasn't what the scales said today - it looked like 10 stone exactly. Normally at or under 9 stone most of my life. I don't feel right at this weight and many of my clothes don't fit)

Augustwedding · 01/01/2014 09:08

Can I join in!? I'm doing WW and want to loose 2 stone by August as I'm getting married! Xmas been a killer but looking forward now !

Augustwedding · 01/01/2014 09:09

August- 2 stone- wedding

Moln · 01/01/2014 09:15

I'm in.

Though I don't want to weigh myself, too scared!!!

I have to lose weigh as I've been told to by my cardiologist way back in July

Batbear · 01/01/2014 09:18

Count me in too!
Tried to lose weight for Xmas, but a combination of new born and death of my FIL led me to fall face first into carbs!

Starting this week with cutting out snacks to get started and going to try and fit in the shred too around my 4 month old and 3 year old DC.

Would love to try insanity but think it might be tough at this point!

ToysRLuv · 01/01/2014 09:49

Baking -want to lose 20lb by continuing running and MFP
Mary, wants to lose 1 - 2 stones
ToysRLuv - wants to lose around a stone by calorie counting and doing a bit of exercise at home

Right I weighed in yesterday and pleased to say I only gained 2lb over Christmas, so that leaves me with about 2 stone to loose before holiday in June. Interim target in 1 st by 5th March when I go to Sri Lanka

DumDum32 · 01/01/2014 13:20

weigh in today - 15 stones & 6 lbs so my target weight is 12 stones. i'll be losing via diet using mfp. 3 stones to lose minimum :(

Haveacrumpet · 01/01/2014 13:42

I'll join!
I am 12 stone today, and should be around 9.5, so I think 1.5 off by Easter sounds sensible.
Planning on cutting down portions, and cutting out all the junk food. Have lost weight this way before, so I'm hopeful that I can do it again! :)

Baking -want to lose 20lb by continuing running and MFP
Mary, wants to lose 1 - 2 stones
ToysRLuv - wants to lose around a stone by calorie counting and doing a bit of exercise at home
Haveacrumpet - 1.5 stone by Easter, 2.5 overall. Smaller portions and no junk.
