Mazzy - I think we are all going to try and lose weight whatever way suits us - and then weigh in on Monday mornings (and offer support throughout the week )

Am following WW at the moment but find it very very difficult between 5 and 7 pm not to eat the fridge contents. Any tips gratefully received!

Well, as you are asking, how many points can I have each day weighing over 14 stone? I know it is either 22 or 24 but have lost my calculator thingy which tells me.

singyswife · 16/07/2007 21:03

hi girls can i join please need to lose a stone before d/h comes back august end of. plus my big 40 this year and just need to do something right off to weigh myself!!!!!
don't know how to cut and paste will try but off to dig out scales.

ok aptly named

Mylastrolo 12 stone exactly ( want to be 11 stone)

JammyPotter · 16/07/2007 23:43

i dont actually know what i weigh but know i want to lose 3 stone

think i am 13

zookeeper · 17/07/2007 07:22

OK (deep breath) 14 stone!!!!! And it's 14 stone rwo pounds if I stand up straight.

which means I'm 14stone 2pounds....

three babies ago I was 10 stone but I'd settle for eleven. which means I jave three stone and two pounds of flab to shift - more than my dd aged 2.5 weighs.

We must do it girls - let's go for it.

I am trying slimming world(from home) and as I am newly single will not be able to get out as much so am aiming to do an exercises dvd most nights.

zookeeper · 17/07/2007 07:25

5-7pm is my worst time too -all tips welcome

Surfermum · 17/07/2007 07:36

Good luck you lot. I've just finished doing slimming world and lost 2st 3lb.

Don't worry about minimal weight loss. 2lbs in a week is a good loss (God, I sound like a slimming world Consultant!). Most weeks I lost around 1lb.

5-7 was my worst time too. I would snack on grapes, bananas, quorn sausages chopped up, carrots, slices of ham or Muller light yoghurs. And drink plenty of water too.

Surfer - thanks for the encouragement. My biggest hurdle is thinking about how long it is going to take to lose 3 stone (about 25 weeks?) - I know it is best to take it one week at a time but 25 weeks seems like FOREVER!

Another gym session for me in a bit - I find it so much easier to lose weight with exercise as I like my food too much but I can only get to the gym a couple of times a week now.

I know, I felt like that at the beginning. I even cried as I went to the beach and friends were all around me eating doughnuts and cakes and I knew I couldn't have them. I remember thinking, "I just can't do this for the next 6 months".

However, once the weight started coming of and I could see clothes fitting better and getting too big it really motivated me.

At Christmas I went to a dinner and dance and wore the dress I wore on my first date with dh 9 years ago. It felt great.

It's also great when people you don't see all the time remark on how much you've lost.

The key for me is being organised. Menu planning and having plenty of fruit in so I'm not tempted to grab biscuits.

I'm not saying this to be showy-offy but hopefully motivate you . Of course, I mustn't polish my halo too much. I've put half a stone back on since finishing SW, but currently working on getting it back off before my hols.

lillypie · 17/07/2007 07:57

Hi everyone can I join too?I don't know my weight, I don't weigh myself any more due to huge food issues in the past,but I currently wear a 14/16 and want to be a 12 for my sisters wedding in December.
I'm following a healthy eating plan the"CSIRO total wellbeing diet" and I've recently started the 30 min workout for women.
