Anyone else want to shift a significant amount of weight in 2016? Come join me!

[Arkkorox]

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?

Oh god Sorry to those waiting to get on the fb group, I did not expect this to take off how it has lol! I'll put it to closed so it's searchable for 20 mins or so at 11

Search for 2016 Mumsnet Losers and you'll find the group

Okay go go go! It's searchable.

glad you're feeling a bit better Ark, don't be disheartened if a few pounds creep back once you start eating properly - the buggers wont all return so you'll have made a great start

Sounds like lots of people are doing well - one day at a time - and if yesterday wasn't great, make sure today is. No point worrying about what's done - just deal with the here and now

this journey will be slow, with lots of ups and downs, but if we eat less than we used to and move more we will lose weight. That's all it takes, how hard can it be - LOL!.

I'm trying to search and using the link Ark but it's still showing as closed.

I can't find the Facebook group searching for 2016 mumsnet losers?

Arghhhh I must have switched it back just before you both looked for it! If you both pm me when you're online and ready I'll put it back to closed :)

Trying to join the group too!

Im not on Facebook. Is it ok to still be part of the thread?

Group will be searchable now!!

Can I join? I ve had the same stone to lose for the last sodding five yrs. I usually get half stone down then up again. I won't be super skinny if I lose it but will at least be in healthy bmi.
Not sure how I am going to lose it but going to weigh in tomorrow and I would like it gone by July!

I'm in the fab group-filled in the spreadsheet-bring it on!

Can I join, pretty please? I have made a start and lost over a stone, but have at least 6 more to go! Thank you

I need to lose at least 5 - trying to just Eat Less and Move More. I have a step counter charging at the moment . I am supposed to be renewing my vows next year and no longer want to be unhappy and sad So onwards and upwards!

Ohh yes please charlie

I want to join the Facebook group but my PM has not been answered. Do we have to wait and somehow "get lucky" for an open window to get on the page? Or could someone just add me?

Hope everyone is getting on ok today! ☺

I keep missing the window for the Facebook group!

Oh no! Is it "secret" again now? Hang on...will go and have a look.

It's gone back to,"secret". The group creator usually posts on here when it's"closed".

How are we all today? I'm feeling great. I've done loads of walking.

I'm on day 2.
Have already added my tea to mfp and I still have 800 calls left!!
I've been stuck in most of the day so made the dcs watch me do 20 mins of wii fit. 10 mins free step, 6 mins of boxing (really gets a good sweat on ) and a bit of hula hooping.
Not done so well on the steps today as my feet are knackered and really sore but, I did 8000 steps yesterday at work and I'm in again tomorrow.
I think till I lose a bit and stop aching so much I might have to ditch the exercise on work days.
Good news is kids were really encouraging while I huffed and puffed

I have 800 Cal's left too!

I'm on day two and I know ive done well as my tummy started rumbling when I got home (a rare sensation because I usually just keep eating!). I've now had my dinner and kept within my total on MFP. I feel really strong and focused

Day two here as well! I've been following the rules of the MN boot camp, but still keeping below 1200 calories as well. I like the "regime" of dieting, but I know it's not for everyone.
