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?

Me too! About 6 stone. Have tried slimming world and lost about 2 stone - also thinking if 5:2. I think the key for me is more exercise as I don't really drink... Obviously eat less too!! Blush

passmethewineplease · 30/12/2015 23:10

Could I also join the FB page please?

20thcenturyschizoidwoman · 30/12/2015 23:10

Meeeee!!!

I need to lose four stones - I am just finishing yet another course of steroids so I do have a (tenuous) excuse.

I have signed up for Cambridge today... Start Saturday X

purplewhale · 30/12/2015 23:20

Can I join too please, I want to lose 5 stone this year, then see about the rest!

chocoLit · 30/12/2015 23:27

Throwing my hat in the ring here too. Guessing at weight but wearing 20/22 with huge Norks and at only 5ft6 being mistaken for a barrel more and more.

I was up to daily 10km walks last year and loved using my 'jawbone up' to log it all. Even DH & the DCs got one and got involved. My walks stopped over summer due to DHs stupid job, my juggling work and DC & having no childcare. Aiming for that again, I really miss it.

I'm not allowed to partake in high impact sports but should be able to walk/swim/cycle.

Unfortunately I work in food industry & DH works shifts so boredom is my downfall.

Aiming to loose 6/7stone. I turn 40this year and we head to USA in Oct and actually want to join in with kids rather than being ashamed of myself Blush

Shall take myself off the Amazon and order scales immediately and shall be starting on 4th Smile

cantbelievemyeyes · 30/12/2015 23:45

Bugger it, I'm in too. I have at least 8 stones to lose so that should keep me busy for a while. Will start 4th January.

purplewhale · 30/12/2015 23:52

Sainsburys were selling weightwatchers bathroom scales cheap if anyone needs some

Poppiesway · 30/12/2015 23:53

Inanimate I've pm'd you :)

I brought weight watcher scales too in the sale but from Argos. £13 at the moment

FattyNinjaOwl · 31/12/2015 00:27

Love how this thread is 8 pages long and we've not even started yet Grin

CishAndFips · 31/12/2015 07:43

I was thinking that ninjaowl I wanted to start yesterday but until I go shopping on sat there is nothing but crap in this house so I'd be setting myself up to fail so Monday it is.

Maladicta · 31/12/2015 07:49

Three to lose, planning to start Monday - count me in :)

When I've lost weight before it's been with SW but can't do sessions time wise so first time 'going solo'. Some diet buddies would be fab - could someone send me the FB link pls :)

missy111 · 31/12/2015 07:55

Please can someone send me the FB link? You won't be able to find me on there.. My profile is completely locked down, as I'm a teacher and don't want kids finding me!

SquadGoals · 31/12/2015 07:57

2-3 stone to lose here. I started low carbing before Christmas and lost about 3kg. We've been away over Christmas and found it too hard to low carb.

Hopefully the damage won't be too bad. Starting a low carb bootcamp from Monday and planning to hit the gym 4-5 times a week.

I'm really wanting to get fit as well as lose weight. An active Christmas has shown me just how unfit I am and how utterly miserable that makes me.

Tortoise · 31/12/2015 08:27

I'd like to join in too please.
Not weighed myself for a while but last weighed about 18 stone so have at least 7 st to lose SadBlush. I've got no photos of me this Christmas. I look too disgusting, spotty and fat.
I've got 3 dogs who rarely get walked (feel very bad about that) because I'm too lazy but this will change and they will get at least one walk a day.

I'd like to join fb group too please.
I really hope this year I can finally do this.

FretYeNot · 31/12/2015 08:40

Could someone send me the fb link also, I know people have had trouble finding my page in the past.

DamsenBerry · 31/12/2015 08:49

Id love to be on the facebook group too please!
I use MN on my windows phone so no app, and everything is ridiculously simplified on this bloody thing so I have no idea how to PM... Somebody help me pretty please?

I originally posted saying I needed to lose 4-5 stone, but I think if I'm being honest its more like 6 stone. I'm scared to weigh in though, last checked about 6 weeks ago and I know its been creeping up since.

I'm only 26 and struggle doing everyday easy things, and get out of breath far too easy. I smoke, I comfort eat and I binge with my DP. Time for a change!

InanimateCarbonRod · 31/12/2015 09:00

I'm going to make the group searchable before we start to post as it's easier than trying to find you all! Profiles set to not searchable etc. Once everyone who want's to join has joined I'll set it back to Secret.

DamsenBerry · 31/12/2015 09:08

Arkkorox · 31/12/2015 09:09

I'm quite excited!

FattyNinjaOwl · 31/12/2015 09:21

Me too.
2016 will be our year! We can do this only saying this because I haven't actually started yet and I'm having dominos for tea

chocoLit · 31/12/2015 09:31

Have sent request too.

How are we doing the weight loss recording?

Are we announcing what we started at & what we're down to or do we start at zero & just a '4lbs down' etc

Sorry to ask a stupid question Blush

FretYeNot · 31/12/2015 09:33

Right, have requested to join.

FattyNinjaOwl · 31/12/2015 09:39

choco whatever you're comfortable with. I will be recording my weight that way I can't deny it!

LittleMiss77 · 31/12/2015 09:41
