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

Although I'm only formally starting tomorrow (when ds goes back to school), I weighed myself this morning.
13stone 13lb 
So my target is a 3 stone loss, to get back into the "10 stone somethings"

Day going well - glad I'm not the only one who feels a bit 'Argh' when they look in the mirror. I really like the idea of getting some summer clothes out - I've got the most beautiful Desigual tops and I've not been able to get into them for over 2 years! I really want to wear them again so as soon as I've moved house, I'll put them up in my room.
At the moment, exercise isn't happening due to things needing to be packed and the fact we really don't have any room to put up the running machine / rowing machine. When I'm in the office, I do 4,500 steps a day walking to and from the office (plus commuting steps) so I'm just going to focus doing what I can this month, but really getting going in February once we're moved properly.
My biggest motivation at the moment is the fact I got engaged on Boxing day and really don't want to be a fat bride. I will start the dress shopping in June / July so really want to be a few stone lighter.. even if I'm not at my 'goal weight' (very unlikely). I want to look and feel amazing on my wedding day AND keep it off!
I'm always surprised at how un-hungry I feel - I was totally and utterly stuffing my face for the last few months and now I'm eating much less and healthier and my stomach hasn't grumbled once.
Tonight I'm having another round of salmon with rosemary baby potatoes and steamed veg - tomorrow is a sweet potato, lentil and tomato salad as my vegan friend is coming round

Congratulations on your engagement! We got engaged last November, we booked our wedding in May and I'm still stones heavier than I want to be 
I had so many grand plans and it just didn't work out, I'm only a stone lighter than when I got engaged and my dress still doesn't quite zip with 106 days to go. Gulp!

Thanks Helena - Same to you! 
You guys are doing it quick! (I'd love to, but buying a house is mega expensive ) so we're looking at August 2017.. so have got a while
A stone is still a stone... in 2 months? (November and December) .. so that's 1/2 a stone a month which is pretty decent going! If you're getting married in May, you could easily do another stone plus more!
Still feeling really motivated despite thinking I look like a fat blobfish! (Think of that photo with blonde hair = me! 
)

No, a stone since LAST November! Over a year 
We got engaged in November 2014, married April 2016. We're eloping to save money and then hoping to buy our first house in 2018.
P.S. I'm sure you're not a blobfish

Good afternoon all. Not a great day for me.
I'm having to look at my daytime eating habits I think. Yesterday a customer bought me a 900 cal meal and today the boys had sausage and chips and so I ate a sausage and a cone of chips not to be the odd one out. ( I'm a female plumber so very often the odd one out without pulling out a Tupperware of quinoa)
I need to find away around the fatty daytime dinner. I've thought about it today, and on site for dinner it's always greggs , or chips, pizza, or full English etc. How do men get away with it?!?!?! They're all skinny wraiths! Meanwhile my weight has ballooned year on year since leaving an office!
I failed the shred too turns out the cough I thought I'd shaken is still present if I get out of breath.
Still recognising where I'm going wrong is part of the battle.
B- scrambled eggs (140 cal)
D- sausage and chips (1020 cal)
T- miso soup (160 cal)
I weigh on a Friday so hoping my evening miso will save me the punishment from my lunchtime gorge
