At last I am going to make a proper effort to shift this baby weight - anyone up for a bit of mutual support etc?

You have my full support. Good luck wit your plan. have you seen the trick with the chocolate cake imaginning that worms are crowling in it? May be thinking of something unpleasant while craving for your cake will do a trick for you.

Cool - that is 4 of us (hi KZ )

I am going to try doing it using the WW principles plus as much exercise as I can.

Agree about the chocolate cake - just chocolate is my weakness and I really start to crave it so need something to take my mind off the cravings.

I borrowed some fittness tapes from my library. they don't cost a penny and I'm going to try out some of the excersises tonight. I've posted an invitation some time ago to everyone to join me dancing but nobody showed any interest. Shame. Dancing can help with the slimming and it's fun.

oyu · 16/07/2007 00:36

Can I join please? I have lots to lose and want to lose weight for a wedding (not mine) in December.

When I say lots to lose I mean lots - was big before but had a baby 9 months ago so now even bigger...

Lassoos Kami, and drags her kicking and screaming back to 'The Last Carb Saloon'.

You can't get away that easily

There is a wagon with your name on it..........

Finona · 16/07/2007 01:52

Need to lose about 3 stone . I've done it before and am determined to do it again. Any support greatfully received! Cheese, crisp and dips and alcohol are my downfall....

katybump · 16/07/2007 08:25

slinkyjo · 16/07/2007 08:26

pindy · 16/07/2007 12:31

zookeeper · 16/07/2007 14:03

americantrish · 16/07/2007 14:21

so, should weigh in be tomorrow then?

Ceebee74 · 16/07/2007 16:02

Oh - loads of us then!

Shall Monday be our weigh-in day then? I will go first - I weighed myself this morning and weighed 14st 4lbs so that is my starting weight - I would like to be 11st 7lbs ideally so a LONG way to go.

Have been very good today and been to a spinning class at the gym and am (so far) resisting the lure of DS's leftover birthday cake

mummypoppins · 16/07/2007 16:18

Hope I havent missed anyone..........please add your weight....no cheating now and don't be embarrassed. Rules are low fat good carbs and plenty of fresh fruit and veg. 30 minutes exercise a day.

Everyone must have a goal to look forward to. I am 40 in December and off to Egypt for Christmas with the family. I want to lose the weight by then.

Sorry just re read this..............HOW BOSSY!!
