I have 10 stone to lose overall. There, I said it. No going back now. I miss riding my horse, I miss being happy and I have a toddler that doesn't want a sweaty elephant for a mum.
Anyone want to join me for some moral support?

Happy New Year too StarSmileStar

horseygeorgie · 01/01/2016 11:48

Can I join?! I've got about 6 stone to lose. Want it OFF this year! Sick of being the fat girl in the room.

Orangesox · 01/01/2016 11:49

Happy New Year everyone!

I'd like to join too if it's not too late?

I have about 7.5 stone to lose to be in my "Healthy" bmi range, but realistically I would like to lose about 6ish as I know this is an attainable goal for me.

I have the end of October in mind as a goal, as this is when DP and I ar thinking of getting married (no firm plans made but this is the date we're working to).

I've requested an add to the FB group too if that's okay?

Re the FB group can someone let me know if it shows up on our own personal FB page that we've actually joined the group ?

I get that the contents of it are private but I don't want my family knowing I've joined a weight loss group they're bloody nosey parkers !

FattyNinjaOwl · 01/01/2016 12:15

It doesn't show on the news feed that you're in the group if that's what you mean. No post to say "saymwa has joined MN losers" or anything, and it will be turned back to secret too I think so in a day or two when we've got everyone who wants to join, then it will be unsearchable too so no one will even know it exists except us.

GabiSolis · 01/01/2016 12:15

Saymwa - it's currently a closed group but will be made secret when everyone who wants to join has joined. I don't think it even appears in search results then.

Saymwa · 01/01/2016 12:42

Oooh I like it Grin
Thanks for your help.

FattyNinjaOwl · 01/01/2016 13:35

I posted on fb, and will post here too. I'm 15st 8. So around 6 stone ideally to lose, but happy with 5.

Honeymoonmummy · 01/01/2016 14:19

17 stone 1 lb. Which is I think the heaviest I've ever been Sad

GabiSolis · 01/01/2016 15:32

I weigh a bit more than you Honeymoonmummy but I'm in the same boat with my weight being the most I have ever been. I'm trying not to be down about it though because this will hopefully be the last time I see it!

DraenorQueen · 01/01/2016 15:38

Can I join too? I lost 30lb on SW last year but it's been a turbulent year with 2 house moves, and I've put it all back on. Scales this morning grimly informed me I am 20st on the dot. Sad
Yesterday I stocked up on good SW food and have started the year well with lean bacon, eggs, mushrooms, fat free yoghurt, fruit - forgot how tasty simple, healthy food can be!

No cheese whatsoever. No crap food. Massive cut down on the booze.

Please could someone send me a link to the FB page? I'd love to join as I can't get to a SW group at the moment!

GabiSolis · 01/01/2016 16:01

this is the group. :)

Eva50 · 01/01/2016 16:12

I've requested to join the Facebook group. Hope that's ok.

NapoleonsNose · 01/01/2016 17:16

Sent my request to join the group. Having a dirty great kebab tonight so starting on Monday. Quite looking forward to the group. When I did SW before, I joined an online group and it was quite motivating to post my successes and failures each week.

Tortoise · 01/01/2016 17:51

My Facebook book notifications have never been so busy Grin. It's making me feel more motivated for starting Monday.

CharleyDavidson · 01/01/2016 18:12

I agree. Lots of notifications, lots of people in the same boat, lots of motivation. :)

Roll on Monday. :)

Honeymoonmummy · 01/01/2016 18:19

Right, I've logged back onto my fitness pal after quite a while. I have a nice round 4 stone to lose (I'm tall). If anyone else is on MFP and would like some company look for me, I'm vwcampervanfan Smile

I've had my tea and still got 755 cals left, small glass of prosecco later methinks! Grin

PinkSmiles · 01/01/2016 18:32

I'm in! I'm doing slimming world and love it! I've lost almost 2 stone is 6 weeks.. Weigh in day tomorrow Confused hoping for a loss! I have about 6-7 stone to lose to have a healthy bmi Blush

PinkSmiles · 01/01/2016 18:34

Honeymoon mummy** I'll try and add you on mfp

AlbusPercival · 01/01/2016 18:35

Hope its not too late to join?

I lost 3 stone over the summer, but have plateaued (sp?) since then.

i have had 2 miscarriages in the last year, and think losing the next 10 stone can only help
i
My short term goal is to take up horse riding lessons, for which I need to lose another four stone.

Plan is to start jogging more, have found a jogging coach, carry on the swimming which lost me the first 3 stone, and make sure I hit the daily actiity targets on my fitness watches EVERY day.

Helgathehairy · 01/01/2016 18:56

I'm in too. Have 3 stone to lose.

Albus Hugs. I had two miscarriages last year as well. The second knew was a missed miscarriage and I've been comfort eating ever since.

AlbusPercival · 01/01/2016 18:58

Thanks Helga, my sister had a baby when mine would have been due and is now expecting another.

I hate the pain on my DHs face when he sees them.

ShelaghTurner · 01/01/2016 19:04

I'm in. I have about 10st to lose. I will weigh in on Monday 4th but realistically won't be starting till the following Monday as both dds birthdays are next weekend and dd1 has chosen the best Chinese restaurant in the world for her gathering.

But after that no excuses. I hurt to walk, I hurt to stand, I hate the way I look and, at 44 I'm aware I'm in borrowed time at this weight. It needs to change.
