Whimsey, how much do you have to loose???

Whimsy · 28/09/2004 10:35

Not sure but i'd like to loose at least 2 stone

sweetheart · 28/09/2004 10:40

I originally joined ww in March last year - I had a BIG break at christmas - just couldn't face counting points over the festive season.

I've lost 2 stone in that time (18 months) I know thats quite a long time but I think the reason I'm keeping it off is because I've done it over such a long time period.

I've changed my eating habits gradually rather than going on a crash diet.

Hi! Welcome Whimsy and Sweetheart.

That's fabulous Sweetheart: I really want you to succeed, as I want to know what WW advice is on their maintenance programme! I've lost loads and am more or less at my goal weight now. Dh has been going to WW meetings, and has done amazingly (lost 60 lb in 4 months ), but he still has another 10lb to go to reach gold, and the last few pounds are bound to be the slowest to shift.

roisin · 28/09/2004 10:42

Btw the email address to send your results to on Thurs/Fri is Yorkiegirl:

mumsnetmamas(at)aol(dot)com

sweetheart · 28/09/2004 10:44

Roisin

that is absolutly amazing!!!!! It's people like you that give me the willpower to keep going.

As far as I know, ww maintenace programme is that if you stay within 5Ibs of your gold weight your meetings are free as an insentive to keep going.

If I were you I'd set another lower target if you still have weight to loose. How much do you want to loose??

How does this thread work BTW, my weight in's are a Monday night, do I have to e-mail someone???

sweetheart · 28/09/2004 10:44

sorry, posts crossed

Whimsy · 28/09/2004 10:46

Thanks Roslin have added that to address book

sweetheart · 28/09/2004 10:48

me to, can I e-mail on a Tuesday???

roisin · 28/09/2004 11:02

I guess you can email whenever you like, but it will be added to the announcement on a Friday night ... see here for an example

Just email Yorkiegirl on that address below, tell her you want to join, and tell her your loss this week and your target if you have one.

sweetheart · 28/09/2004 11:12

OK, I've sent my e-mail off. Hopefully now I'm a fully fledged mumsnetmama

I want to join this thread but don't quite understand the figures. do we email the amount lost this last week, and also the total still to go? what about the total lost so far? does that go anywhere?

have lost 10lb of babyfat, including 1lb this week. have 22lb to go to pre baby goal weight. so is that 1.0, 22.0?

and do we have to write poems as well as lose weight to join?
sorry to be thick.
