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'm planning my dominos feast Blush

DamsenBerry · 31/12/2015 09:48

I'm going to record my weight too. It'll end up almost Bridget jones-esque I reckon. Eg. Saturday- 3 glasses of wine, 27 fags. I'm thinking of keeping a food diary too, it'll guilt me out of some bad decisions.

I love the weekly pictures idea, I'm going to try that too!

FattyNinjaOwl · 31/12/2015 09:50

I would do the pics, but my big mirror is currently covered as DP used it to build a jigsaw on Hmm

Tortoise · 31/12/2015 09:50

I'm going to post my start weight on Monday then weekly loss (hopefully!).
I need to cut out chocolate and crisps. Currently eat at least one share bag of chocolate an evening and 2-3 pks of crisps a day Blush

AllChangeLife · 31/12/2015 09:53

Can I join a fb group? How do I do it. I have about 6.5 stone to lose. Have lost 1.5 already. I'm much better on fb than mumsnet as I forget to look back regularly without notifications!

LittleMiss77 · 31/12/2015 09:54

Is anyone going to record their measurements too? I'm going to as my plan is to up the exercise, so whilst my weight might not go down as much as i would like, my measurements will should change

InanimateCarbonRod · 31/12/2015 09:55

Chocolate is my downfall too. I can go without crisps and I don't eat cake at all. I would happily devour a share sized Galaxy all to myself.

I'm starting on Monday too.

FattyNinjaOwl · 31/12/2015 09:57

I will record measurements too.

passmethewineplease · 31/12/2015 10:01

I've requested to join now. Grin

Flumplet · 31/12/2015 10:06

I've sent a request to join the group too I'm looking forward to making a start!

Becstarlenski · 31/12/2015 10:16

Hi everyone, I'd like to join too, have ideally 4-5 stone to lose.
I have already lost a stone and a half going to SW and going to gym classes. But I'm more than sure I have put some back on after Xmas.
I like wine and good food. So I'm going to ditch the wine for a bit and eat healthy and also be much more organised!!

Goingtobeawesome · 31/12/2015 10:18

I'm planning soups. The same food but in liquid food form is better than solid because of your mind thinking you've just had a drink but I think also easily digested. Something like that anyway.

Underdogsbollocks · 31/12/2015 10:18

I'm getting excited too! I'm currently sat in bed eating crisps and thorntons chocs for breakfast, this really has too stop Blush. Also I deleted my fb last year, not sure if I'm brave enough to create a new account to join the group.

DamsenBerry · 31/12/2015 10:22

Yes recording measurements sounds fab. I've just realised I don't have a big mirror, just head and shoulder mirrors. Guess ill have to get DP to take full length shots of me! Confused

littlepinkgiraffe · 31/12/2015 10:28

Hello, can I join as well? I want to lose about 3 stone I think, clothes shopping always depresses me. I need to start eating healthily and walking again.

Requested to join too. Love the cover photo!

Feeling really disgusting at this stage, not even enjoying eating the last of the Christmas food! Feeling very positive about the new year tho, usually find new years eve very depressing, that I haven't achieved anything during the year and feel daunted by the empty year ahead. But this year, I'm feeling like 2016 will be a good one for me, and I'm excited to get started!

AtSea1979 · 31/12/2015 10:41

Bit late to the party so haven't read all posts yet. I need to lose 3 stone, preferably 4.
I have a fitbit still in its packaging, I'm joining slimming world on tuesday, I'm struggling with the exercise side as I have no childcare. I have the 30 day shred but struggle with motivation at home. What are others doing?
Measurements sound good but what are we measuring and how?!

madmotherof2 · 31/12/2015 10:44

Me!!

Would love to lose 5 stone, but think 3 is more realistic!!

AtSea1979 · 31/12/2015 10:46

Grrr WiFi rubbish and taking an age to load each page, can I be really cheeky and trouble someone to give me important info of last 9 pages? I saw somewhere about fb and mirrors?

WhoTookAllTheGoodNicknames · 31/12/2015 10:53

Another one late to the party but I'd love to join.
I've got about 8 stone to lose although at the moment I haven't weighed myself. I'll do the first weigh in on Monday.
I'll also request to join the Facebook group, although I don't use Facebook much.

GlitterandSequins · 31/12/2015 11:12

FB Group joined!

Was going to attempt to start tomorrow but will join you all on the 4th.

Probably got about 7 stone to get rid of preferably before me wedding in 2017!!

MrsPnut · 31/12/2015 11:16

I need to lose 8 stone really, I did lose 1.5st before christmas but 3 weeks of eating rubbish has led me to put half of that back on.

I am back on this from monday, and I have joined the gym. My plan is to go before work but not sure how that's going to pan out.

stealtheatingtunnocks · 31/12/2015 11:23

Oh, goodness, yes please.

I could lose 5 stones to please BMI. Would be thrilled with 3.

Am deeply concerned about my long term health - not so worried about my appearance, well, I am, but less than the vision of me being hoisted along a corridor with my arse hanging out a hospital gown after my stroke.

Despite this, I am finding it very difficult to sort it out. I just eat - whether I'm happy, sad, worried, content. Any emotion at all!

Am going to do MFP, Paul McKenna and I joined a gym. Haven't actually been yet.

Not using scales, for a start, the battery ran out, and, also, I stand on them obsessively and it makes my mood go wonky.

I'm going to measure inches and clothes sizes.

Have asked to join the FB group.

meanwhile, I'm hoovering up all the leftover chocolates and planning to get a swan song job lot of tunnocks teacakes, like the moron I am

InanimateCarbonRod · 31/12/2015 11:29

We've 23 members of the FB group now Grin

I don't have a full length mirror either come to think of it. I will put that on my shopping list.
