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?

I'd like to join too. No specific diet as about to try the fodmap diet for newly diagnosed ibs so don't want to complicate anything. Need to increase exercise level so going to do couch to 5k and reduce portion sizes, also going to do dry January as alcohol as been creeping up significantly recently.

Can I join too? (Not FB for me, just on MN...). I have been on every diet going over 20+years. I switched to kilos a few years back cos stones were depressing. In 2012 I lost 15 kilos pretty quickly on the high protein/ low carb one (over 2 stone) and I'd say I'm about back where I started - without ever having reached my target. So, weigh in depending, I've got around 3 stone to lose I'd guess.
I'm completely over diets so this time it's just no crap, eat less, more veg, more exercise. Like everyone my pleasures problems are wine, cheese and chocolate

Going to get weighed on 1st but guessing have about 5-6 stone to use

Just done the BMI calculator thing. I'm not tall, to be healthy I need to be under 10 stone. Currently "obese". Bring on the 4th.

I've created the Facebook group so if you want to join PM me!

Count me in as well, although I started weighing and calorie counting on Monday.

Oh Christ am I brave enough for fb? Lol

Of course! We're all in the same boat. Nobody has to know your username other than me

Been reminiscing today.

We've got one of those digital photo frames and DH updates the photos now and then. He updated them today with some of our wedding photos from seven years ago. I felt so fat on the day, but now looking back at the 4 stone lighter me, I realised I looked bloody well ok!!!

bucking yep, weigh each week and post results here. Also post if you're having a tough time, or if you've found a delicious new healthy recipe, or anything at all!

I'm all signed up ark

I think it'll be good for the motivation and support

Love the cover photo inanimate!

Thanks! thought it was apt. I like the idea of the FB group because of the notifications etc. We can easily share recipes and photos etc. The group is secret. Nobody can see you're on it and there is no link to your username here on MN.

I'm on too

Oh go on then. Though I will still keep this thread running for the non fbers I think

Please can I join too? I am scared to weigh myself after Xmas but I expect I am looking at 5.5 stone as a minimum to have a BMI of 25.

Please feel free to remind me of this regularly but my plan is slow and steady, ie: no fad diets. I've tried them all and each time I get bigger. I intend to eat real food (pringles may notice a loss in profits) and to start walking, a lot. If that goes to plan, after a couple of months 0-5k.

I love that there is so many of us.

Inanimate, I will pm you. Thank you for setting up the FB group.

ark yes keep the thread too. I will post on both.

If anyone turns out to be a foreverbullshit rep they can get the boot. Im still that I got a PM about it yesterday on here from someone trying to persuade me to do it!

it will be obvious who I am on fb because I never stop talking

Haha. Definitely not some bull crap rep.
If any do show up though I will post this.

I'm in! Am at least 16st, haven't weighed myself for months and months. I have no structure at all to my eating, skip most meals then eat huge dinners/takeaways in the evening and snack on crisps with DH in front of the TV. Also drink too much.

Not decided on best plan for me, but need something with some kind of direction! Also know I need to exercise. I have a gym membership which I've NEVER used and live next to fields/recreation ground so have no excuse.

Bulletproof I can't seem to reply to you on PM I've made the group secret so it can't be searched for.

Like to join, but not sure about the Facebook bit. If we join the group, only profile pics are seen, right? And all my rl friends know that I'm fat. Will be scared in case anyone I know is there.

And nothing will show on my page? Or newsfeed or anything? Paranoid much!!'

Could I join too? Have around 7 stone to lose

Don't know how it became so out of control.

I would love to join! Ideally I'd like to lose 10kgs (1 stone 8lbs) but would be happy with 5kgs to start with.

I have no idea of diets, I know I won't go to SW or WW, would like to see what I can shift by exercising more and cut out junk/excess food, particularly biscuits, bread, cheese etc.
