I'd like to lose about a stone. So I'm going back to my old system of writing down everything I eat, to make myself more accountable and stop eating random unhealthy stuff that I forget about twenty minutes later. The next few months of cold will be featuring lots of soup, and herbal tea instead of hot chocolate. This method usually works for me, so I need to get back on it.

Me to, I've at least 2 stone to loose. As pp am also at my heaviest. My main aim to to start running again. I quit 3 years ago when I had my ds.

BooeyBaubleHead · 26/12/2016 01:12

I'm in! Being induced tomorrow and have spent this entire pregnancy (and a bit before) indulging my every food and drink whim. Hard to tell how much weight I have gained but I would guess at 2 stone. I'd like to be back in my size 10 jeans by April.

Not sure how I'm gong to achieve it...

pregnantat50 · 26/12/2016 01:18

Holds and waves hand in the air...."Me too, please, can I join you".

I need to lose 3 stone, ideally by 24th March (my birthday) but any loss is a bonus. When is everyone starting? Now or Jan 2nd?

Me, me, meeeee!!

Nothing major. About a stone will do me.

BananaFrittersForTea · 26/12/2016 02:42

Me too! Three stone to shift here. Might need to rethink my nn

vshah140113 · 26/12/2016 04:07

Im hoping to do this,need to lose about 15kg but will be glad to lose 5
I have a bad habit of eating because of boredom and comfort and stress which is pretty much all day, hoping to go back on mfp and start exercising again

Stellar67 · 26/12/2016 06:38

I'm in. 3 stone here. Blush

Twooter · 26/12/2016 06:51

Me too. I've got a stone and a half to lose but very bad self control. I tend to eat when I'm fed up so will need to find other ways of releasing my frustration.

ButterfliesRfree · 26/12/2016 06:56

I need to join too. I have a stone and a half to lose. I'll just be following a healthy eating plan and using MFP to monitor it. What I really lack is motivation so I would love to join you all on this thread. Thanks.

Lessthanaballpark · 26/12/2016 07:04

Me too. I need to lose a stone and am hoping that a few simple changes will do the trick:

-give up drinking.

-stop putting sugar in my coffee

-keep to meal planning. The worst trigger for me is not having a clue what to eat so I just nip out and buy ready made crap.

-drink more water.

talkshowhost97 · 26/12/2016 07:04

I'm in. Around 2 stone to lose, aiming for by the summer. I can lose the first stone very quickly and have done a few times but am a dreadful comfort eater and have had a difficult year. Been overweight now since DD2 who is now 2 and i don't want to spend any more years like this.

My plan is 16:8 with healthier choices but nothing banned. And some exercise.

sansoucitherednosedcariboo · 26/12/2016 07:11

Count me in as well. I'm almost at menopause & am beginning to get that tell-tale barrel shape. I haven't weighed myself in many months; it's too depressing but all my clothes are bordering on being uncomfortable to wear. Definitely using Fitbit & counting calories but am also tempted to try the 5:2.

WaxyBean · 26/12/2016 07:12

Yes please, between 2 and 3 stone. I'm going sugar free from now on and hoping that will make a difference alongside upping the exercise.

Allofaflumble · 26/12/2016 07:27

I'm in. 1 stone to begin with, then on to the 2nd. I would love to get into my jeans again. Tired of leggings.

Pusscat123 · 26/12/2016 08:44

And me, please.
Will start Jan 1st.

5 stone to lose. Am sick of the pain and fatigue of simply lugging it about in my daily life

Am ME underneath all this blubber. And I want to set me free.

MooMooTheFirst · 26/12/2016 10:18

I am not sure when to start! I live in snowdonia so have no excuse not to get out and do decent walks apart from the weather so I will do that. Make a point of doing nice longer walks with the pram and make the most of my last two months of maternity leave and then go properly healthy eating from the beginning of January

Biking007 · 26/12/2016 10:20

Yep want to lose a stone in the next 12wks before holiday. Will start trying to moderate a bit more now but properly focused by 1st Jan Smile

Msqueen33 · 26/12/2016 10:21

Three odd stone to go and looking at the 1st of January as a start date.

crazycravings · 26/12/2016 10:23

I will join!! Fed up of lugging this huge tyre around!!! Want to be slim and healthy and in shorts by summer!

Nishky · 26/12/2016 10:25

Me too!

I lost 5 stones between 2012 and 2015, maintained for a year but one and a half stones have crept back on.

I lost on Slimming World, decided to do it on line as classes are difficult since I started full time.

However it was so much cheaper to join Weight Watchers on line that I did that on impulse! I am starting tomorrow. I have no idea how it works Shock

WhenDoISleep · 26/12/2016 10:34

I'm in! I say that every time on one of these threads, but this time I really am.

I'm 15st 4.5lbs and 5ft 4in. I need to lose a lot, but am going to say initially 1st by my birthday at the end of Feb. Since mid-October, I have lost 8lbs without really doing anything, so I think that is achievable.

I want to have more energy to run around with my boys instead of slumping on the sofa exhausted and DH and I are talking about having DC3.

BroomstickOfLove · 26/12/2016 10:44

5 stone for me, too. I want to do it sensibly, at srouls 1lb a week, so I think that I'll be aiming to lose the weight over 2 years.

nailslikeknives · 26/12/2016 11:03

I'm in. It really has to happen this year. I'm far far too fat!

polkadotdelight · 26/12/2016 11:15

Im in as of January. I have 3 stone to lose. Its so uncomfortable on my abdomen.

jellybelly16 · 26/12/2016 11:17

Count me in.. Fed up comfort eating and feeling blah!!x
