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?

I would also like to join in. Have abput 4st to lose (maybe a little bit more) to get within a healthy bmi range. Will weigh in Monday too as trying to get rid of all the pringles and ferero roche the kids and grandkids failed to devour

I've joined the FB group & am enjoying following this thread.

I had a minimum of 7 stone to lose & joined SW in August last year. I was 2.5 lbs off getting my 4 stone award when I last weighed in (27th Dec). My usual WI is Saturday, so will find out tomorrow how I've done this week - not confident as have loads of visitors & done lots of visiting and drinking large amounts of toffee vodka

Looking forward to everyone getting started - we will no longer be the fat birds Grin

I look about 12 in my fb photo but im not, honest Smile
Will weigh in on 4th with lots of you, i have over 6 st to lose. Ive never been slim, ever, so this will be interesting at least.

You're in the right place shelagh. We will all support each other, through the ups and downs, ensuring there are more downs Smile

Enjoy the Chinese. My favourite is on Shaftesbury Ave in the centre of London.

just requested to join.
I had ( about 3 yrs ago) got to a very happy 11 stone, I'm going to weigh in tomorrow, but I am guessing I'm at about 13.7 so I think it will be about 2.5 stones to loose!!

Opi · 01/01/2016 21:03

Hi, I've asked to join the fb group. This is just the thread I need, I'll weigh on the 4th too but think its about 20lb for me...I could say 40 and yoiu wouldn't gasp, but its a start! 2016 seems like a good time to get it offt!! :)

whatstheplanphil · 01/01/2016 21:06

I'm in, I lost two stone last year then put it all back on, gonna start on Monday hopefully, no not hopefully, definitely!!!!

PinkSquash · 01/01/2016 21:07

I've asked to join the Fb group too, I'm 18 stone and then some, I was down to 12 stone post birth of DS2 but I can't stop the weight piling on. I need to start walking/running again and maybe get a good fitness DVD for the days I can't exercise outside-does anyone have any recommendations?

Ijustworkhere · 01/01/2016 21:10

I'm in! I need to lose at least 3 stone but struggling as my health is poor and ability to exercise very very limited. But the fat isn't helping the health and like the OP I'd like to get back on a horse!

Underdogsbollocks · 01/01/2016 21:39

PinkSquash the 30 day shred is really good, although quite hard. There is a beginners shred though on amazon at the minute for £10, the original 30 day shred is always on the counter in my local primark for £5 though.

ThreeRuddyTubs · 01/01/2016 21:49

I've joined the fb group before posting here I'm that keen! I joined Sw in Jan 2014 at 12 st 9 and at my lowest have got down to 1st 3 which was about a month ago. Am afaik now about 1 1st 12 but will find out for sure on Monday. Am absolutely revolted with myself for piling it on like that and I've set myself a goal of target or as near as dammit by April or may before my birthday

ThreeRuddyTubs · 01/01/2016 21:49

11st 3 not 1st 3!

building2015 · 01/01/2016 22:55

I need to lose 40 lb.Shock

Iammostseriouslydispleased · 01/01/2016 22:57

I have been directed over here by DramaAlpaca - thank you! Found this just in time!

I want there to be less of me - five stone less! I am going to start by counting down 30lb. I already do WW and I am going to keep doing a combo of that and 5 2. Snacking and sugar is my weakness.

I am also going to try and use photos.

DramaAlpaca · 01/01/2016 23:03

Hello Iammost, glad you found us!

JaneHair · 01/01/2016 23:23

Hello! I am 18 stone and have 7 to lose in total but if I can lose three stone then I can undergo a second round of IVF (I'm currently above their maximum BMI limit).

neonrainbow · 01/01/2016 23:29

Me too! Last time I weighed myself I was 13st and Im scared to weigh myself in case im a lot more! Id like to lose as much as possible before me honeymoon next year... I'm to start with a clean slate tomorrow. It won't hurt my husband to eat healthier too!

Sweetpea15 · 01/01/2016 23:29

Can I join? I have about 10stone to lose too.

Can someone repost the link for the Facebook group as the one on thee previous page isn't working for me?

I've got my fitness pal and recently was given a puppy (sort of- she's 8months) so lots of walks on the agenda!!!

Chocqueen99 · 01/01/2016 23:32

Mee!!
I have 10 stone to lose aswell although I dunno If I wanna lose all that as I may look scraggy, but will just see how I feel when it starts going Smile

haveyouseenmykeys · 02/01/2016 00:03

Just downloaded my fitness pal. Can't carry my phone at work and can't afford a Fitbit so we'll see.
I hope regular use of my wii will be enough of a motivator.
Took photos today but they're not great as I don't have a full length mirror. I'll get DH to take better worse ones and I will record measurements tomorrow in time for weigh in on Monday.

Can I join? 3 stone to lose. I've clicked on the fb link but it says its broken or I don't have permission to view it. Or something like that.

SaoirseLikeInertia · 02/01/2016 05:10

Not able to sleep, so using the time productively to catch up on all the posts here Wink Our house is more or less junk-free now... it was tough going for a while! Looking forward to getting back on track and eating properly
