I need to lose 3.5 stone - feel so fed up about it I am ignoring the mince pies and Thornton's chocolates! I have lost weight before with a great bunch of ladies on mn. I feel motivated to do the same again and this time keep it off, I went through my wardrobe and found a very stylish tunic I bought in the South of France that I wore once before gaining weight.

Whatever your approach - low carb, Weight Watchers, Slimmers World or healthy eating, all welcome to join me with motivational tips/chat to keep each other going. I find that I don't stick to any plan and eating at meals times/snack on veg and fruit/exercise works for me.

Look forward to chatting with whoever wants to join Smile

Does anyone know how I copy & paste on an (android) phone? I only really MN from my phone these days. Alternatively, perhaps someone could add me to the list:

That'sNot - starting weight: 11st. Weight to lose: 14lbs. Weight loss: 0lbs. Weight to goal: 14lbs.

A pretty good day here:
B - 2 x Weetabix with half a banana & skimmed milk
L - cottage cheese & cucumber sandwich; apple; orange
S - Prezzo. Chicken Saltimbocca. A taste of DH's Cheesecake & DS's ice cream and a tea spoon of DD's ice cream.
I also had a haribo which 3yo DS pressed on me.
Drank loads of water & herbal tea plus two cups of white coffee.
Went for a run ☺. 4.5km. Hoping to be back up to 5k over the next week or so.
Nice to see so many joining.

I'd like to join please. I need something to help motivate me, as I badly want to lose some weight.

Starting weight 9 st 5.5 lb
Weight to lose 1 st 1.5 lb
Weight loss so far nothing
Weight to goal 1 st 1.5 lb.

I'm going to seriously cut down on everything that I eat and drink, starting with sugar and fats. Carbs can wait for now!

Can I join please? Have gained 10kg since September and could probably do with losing another 5 on top to get back to the size and shape I liked.

Am planning on low carbing, starting tomorrow. Don't have time to make lots of food in advance but boiled eggs and a bag of salad are my friends. Grin

Disco I've added you. Does anyone think we should abbreviate weight to lose etc to initials? I think most of us MN on phones and it keeps it shorter!

I'm slightly miffed with myself, had planned to get some leftover veg soup out for lunches at work but arsed about in the shower for too long! Planning to get a lettuce and some wraps and chicken from tesco at lunchtime instead and not be grumpy about it.
