Am starting a diet on Monday to shift 3 stone - anyone want to join me?

[Ceebee74]

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

The moment of truth dawned this morning when I finally weighed myself: 13.2 - pretty much what I expected to be honest .

Anyway, my ideal weight for my height is around 9.7 although am aiming for 10 stone at the moment. That seems like an absolute AGE away. I think am going to aim to be in a reasonable size pair of jeans without cutting of blood circulation to my thighs by Christmas...

Well I didn't manage to get to the gym yesterday.DD is teething badly and DP, although game, looked so terrified at the prospect of being left alone with her that I took pity on him LOL.
I won't be able to get there till Friday now but I'm going going to dig the stepper out from under the bed and have a go on that later.
Have a good day everyone x

Well, am trying to do more walking etc this week inbetween the showers, and will will walk the Race for Life this Sunday too. When I entered 3 months ago I fully intended to be running the course this weekend, but time has got away from me and here I am still walking not running!

Felt vaguely depressed about being 13 stone 9 still, but cheered myself up by remembering that I was 17 stone 9 immediately before I had DD last October, and am now 1 stone below my pre preg weight anyway! Here is to the rest of it shifting pronto! Would like to wear decent jeans like Guitargirl too!
Mousemole - how are you getting on? I'm aiming for my second WW silver 7 next week ?I hope!

MLO You're doing fantastically well.Best of luck to everyone doing the race on Sunday

Well I don't know where everyone else is but I will continue posting my weigh-ins (even if it will keep me motivated).

Today, I weigh 13st 12lbs so lost another 3lbs (6lbs in total).

Am very pleased as I have not been completely strict this week (too much cheese)

Hello all! Sorry missed last weeks weigh in but here today!

I have been doing the weightwatchers drop diet so eating cabbage soup, fruit and veg and not much else! It has paid off though as I am down from 13.0 to 12.2! Very pleased with myself.

Oops, posted, then went on holiday - ate and drank too much...winced when I stood on the scales. 13.9, which is 2lbs heavier than when I went away .

Too late to be a svelte size 14 (!) for my best pal's wedding in September, but I am determined to put the brakes on this weight now!!!!

Hi lovely ladies hope everyone's ok and there,s not too much cheating going on
I'm still managing to stick to my diet and get to the gym 3 times a week.
I have my eye on a dress that I WILL be able to wear to my sisters wedding in December!!!!!!!!!!

Hi everyone.

Sugarybits - I am so impressed with you. You must be so pleased. Well done!

After my first post on here I went out for dinner and then did nothing about losing any weight for a week.

Since then it has been all go again. I've been pretty good (although still have a problem with finishing ds's left overs and picking at dh's chips now and then). I've been walking for an hour a day and going to the gyn most days for an hour.

I have lost 4lbs and am 11st 7. Things are shifting int he right direction, but I am also conscious that things will slow down a lot after the first couple of weeks.

How is everyone else doing?

Thank you MrsM, You are doing pretty well yourself! I have the food part under control but am doing very little exercise. I normally walk to school and back twice a day and thanks to the wonderful summer holidays, am not even doing that! I keep trying to get motivated to go swimming in the evenings but haven't managed it yet!

Hi everyone,how are you all doing?I'm still managing not to cheat and I get to the gym 3 times most weeks ,so I'm quite pleased with myself.
Keep up the good work!
Repeat the MANTRA in moments of weakness.
I WILL BE SLIM, I WILL BE SLIM ,I WILL BE SLIM
Good luck to everyone who's weighing in today.

HAAAALOOOOOOO anyone still here here here
here here here ???

I am still here, haven't posted before as in 2 weeks I have managed to lose a grand total of 1 pound . I have been on holiday but still at this rate I am never going to fit into my work clothes by mid-September .

Hey girls you're still heading in the right direction,and I'm SOOO glad you're both still here

Hi everyone, I have returned. I've been struggling with WW and not losing any weight at all and getting cross. Have decided to ditch WW (sick of paying money to be annoyed at weigh in every week) as I think it makes me focus on the wrong things - e.g. I think oh I have 4 points left, I've have a Double decker etc, rather than eating only when hungry which is what I should be doing!

Am now eating 3 decent meals a day with only fruit between meals, feel much better and have lost a pound already. Now 13st 8lb.

Hope the sunshine inspires everyone to eat wisely this weekend!

Morning all.I've not posted because i'm miffed at only losing a pound since we started!Getting back on track on monday NO EXCUSES x Hope everyone else is losing

Hi everyone I'm sticking to my diet and going to the gym 3 times a week.I'm also using my stepper on non gym days(god that's hard work)and I've started having sex again in an effort to burn calories.
Probably not the right reason but I don't think that DP really cares what my motivation is LOL

Hi, everyone. I'm afraid i haven't made any progress and all the tapes I borrowed I found too challanging. After 20 minutes there was no chance i could continue having my heart raicing and I just was doing 15 to 20 minutes at best 3 times a week. As a result, still the same big ugly tummy and fat parts around my hips. I need to loose at least 8 kg!

I have lost another solitary pound [frustrated]!!!!

That's brilliant! Congratulations!

I'm doing SlimFast (after a fashion). In reality what I am actually doing is trying to make sure I don't go over 1600 cals a day. I have about 6 stones to lose.

Good luck to you and to all of us.
