Can I join I have a holiday in 8 weeks.

Never bothered with the scales as I did not want to be a obsessed with weighing myself. Thought I was about half a stone overweight but wow got a shock as put new batteries in the scales tonight to check my weight.

About stone and a half to loose but I’m only 5ft tall small size 3 feet clothes starting to look the shit that’s the ones I can wear and I refuse to buy a larger size as I’ll only eat to fit into them 😀
I’ve been managing on 1200 calories a day Monday to Friday but don’t feel any smaller so must up my activities. My weakness is wine and cheese on a weekend luckily not into sweet things but I’m 58 post menopausal with all the hormone shit that make it difficult to shift the excess weight round my middle.

Please can I join too?!
I'm so fed up of feeling flabby and my dc is 2 years old now so can't keep using having a baby as an excuse to myself!

greedypiglet · 31/05/2018 20:53

Hi Amay, I am going to be in for a severe shock when I get on the scales in the morning. It is what it is though and I really want to change so fingers crossed for us all.

Can I join please?
10 pounds to lose..

Pamelaaa · 31/05/2018 20:59

Looking to join you all.

I have 3 stone to lose in total. My first milestone is a weekend away with DP in 5 weeks and am aiming to lose half a stone by then. I also want to tone up so need to find some exercise to do as well.

Hoping you ladies will keep my motivation up.

siobhan0710 · 31/05/2018 20:59

Can I join as well please? I would like to lose half a stone before going on hol in 4 weeks, but ultimately would like to lose 1.5 stone.
I've started running again (been doing it on and off for years), currently running about 12-15 miles per week, and using MFP to track calories. I just can't seem to shift it. Think it might be my portion sizes Confused

greedypiglet · 31/05/2018 21:00

There are going to be a lot of oh fuckit moments in the morning when we all get on the scales Grin

I'll join too, but I'm going to start Sun or Mon instead of tomorrow - we're having a treat day out tomorrow (with meal) and homemade pizza on Sat and I can't give it up! I don't really have any excuse for Sunday but like the idea of starting on a work day cause I'll be distracted and further away from the kitchen.

Not sure how much I want to lose as haven't weighed myself for ages but my guess is around a stone.

Got a holiday in August and I'd love to lose some middle flab and also tone up my arms and middle age back flab.

whatdoyousayhey · 31/05/2018 21:03

Yes!!! I want 1 stone by the end of July and 2 by mid Sept ... who knows if it's possible but I need to get my shiiiit together.

As well as weighing I'm going to measure, waist, belly and thighs as a further measure - not weekly maybe every 4 weeks.

3boys3dogshelp · 31/05/2018 21:05

Me please! I have a lot to lose. Not looking forward to the scales in the morning but I need to own it, I’m running out of clothes that fasten. Blush

greedypiglet · 31/05/2018 21:06

What I like the idea of a measure. Off to locate a very long tape measure.

I'm in! 2 years ago I lost nearly 2 stone. It's nearly all gone back on. I know I comfort eat, because I'm bored and lonely and out of habit. I'm very fed up with myself and having a bad time with depression at the moment. I want to loose 1 stone and 5lbs. I would be happy with that. Need to tone up too!

greedypiglet · 31/05/2018 21:08

3boys I am all out of clothes. Refusing to buy larger though.

frustratedashell · 31/05/2018 21:14

I got on the scales this morning, is creeping up a bit each week. I'm weighing and measuring each week.
Clothes are tight or impossible to get on.

PrudenceDear · 31/05/2018 21:15

Can I join too? 2.5 stone (at least) to lose here too... I start and then cave, but really need some motivation and a good kick up the arse!

frustratedashell · 31/05/2018 21:18

I weighed this morning, it goes up each week by about a pound. I want to loose 18/19 lbs and tone up

greedypiglet · 31/05/2018 21:20

I didn't think that anyone would reply to this thread so I am really grateful that I am not on my own.

OP posts:
Pamelaaa · 31/05/2018 21:30

Am going to start on Monday and going to do the measuring thing as well to try find as many positive as possible to keep me going.

So many clothes that I just can’t wear at the moment and those that I can I look rubbish in.

Myusername2015 · 31/05/2018 21:32

Me! I’m in joining sw tomorrow and probably have about a million stone to lose. My baby is now 11 months and I weigh the same now as I did 42 weeks pregnant Angry

cmcc22 · 31/05/2018 21:37

Last curry for a while eaten and I didn't have any wine - so feeling smug already. Off to bed hoping the scales won't be too scary in the morning. Good luck all ⚖️

3boys3dogshelp · 31/05/2018 21:47

I’m so glad you started this thread tonight - it sounds like a lot of us are going to benefit (after having a little cry in the morning!)

rachagnes · 31/05/2018 21:49

I'm in. Just home from a London trip. Will weigh in tomorrow!

greedypiglet · 31/05/2018 22:03

3boys I suspect I will be having a full blown histrionics attack in the morning and not just a little cry. Grin
