Do you go to class ?
How long have you been doing it & how much have you lost ?

I am on my second week (weigh-in tomorrow). I go to a weigh and go class in the city in my lunch hour and have lost 8lbs so far. I miss going to an actual class though so am looking for some support on here.

I put on half a pound this week... which I was happy with because after CHristmas I haven't been able to stop myself bingeing occassionally

I want to go down to my target weight (another...5 pounds to go) but I've just ordered my wedding dress for June and I'm worried if I lose those 5 pounds it will be too big - argh.

Well the dress is a size bigger than I thought I was, but it fits perfectly. I'm worried that the 5 pounds would shift me down to the size I thought I was...

Yeah I'll have to have the hen party that week - theres a lot of points in alcopops!

The foc thing is appealing too - I've been trying to cut down on my spending but I'm too scared to quit WW because I know my weight will creep back up!

ok - so far today - so good !

lunavix - someone told me that wedding dresses (for some bizarre reason im not sure of) are sized a size bigger than normal sizes - ie if you are a size 12 you would need a size 14 dress, dont know how true that is as she is not a very reliable source, but thought i would say anyway!!

wozzle1 · 15/02/2005 14:19

Hi guys, got my weigh in 2morrow...have been sticking to the points, but have hardly done any physical activities.
DS has been very demanding this week, so hopefully this might help me lose those pounds!

lunavix · 15/02/2005 14:22

fairycakes - I've told myself the size is an american one (for example a 14 here is a 10 there!) as it's an American dress (I'm blissfully ignoring the fact it says UK before the size ) I'm telling all the bridesmaids thats the american size too!

wozzle1 · 16/02/2005 16:54

Wow, cant believe it, ive lost 3lbs this week.
That was a really nice surprise.
dh is taking me out for a meal this weekend, lucky really that I lost 3lbs as I have not got much hope of doing as well next week.
Never mind, its a VERY rare treat to be taken out for dinner by dh, maybe he is after something...then again Ive got a headache and I feel this one coming on for a long long time..lol!

1.5 ib this week, but have been out with friends twice, had wedding anniversary & had huge lunch with friend & kids today, so very lucky I lost anything at all!! Bit worried that todays lunch is going to show up next week though - will be very good this week.

well done - I live by the idea - any loss is a good loss.... no matter how small - as long as I keep going in the right direction.

Lost 0.9kg this week - almost at first five kgs here... only 0.8 to go.

hope all goes well for you Dior

Well done on your losses. I also lost 1.5 lbs this week making a total of 14.5. Slowly but surely it's coming off.

I am weighing in tomorrow but haven't been so good this week as it's half term. I haven't been terrible but I was keen to get rid of 1/2lb to make a stone.

well done everyone, all good losses.

i'm back on the band wagon, as of tuesday - my (home) weigh in should be today, but as i have been really bad for the past few weeks, i have decided not to weigh myself until next thursday so i am not too horrified and disgusted with myself about how much i have put on.

i am just always hungry!!

Oops, just seen my name in the list from last week. I, unfortunately have decided to 'go it alone' and we all know what that means. I just don't seem to have the will at the moment.

Good luck to the rest of you though, you'll soon be slinking into that skimpy bikini

Furball, happens to the best of us. We'll be here when you're ready to come back - or some of us will, anyway.

Did someone say my name?

My total weight loss since I started WW in September 2003 (!) is 58 pounds. BUT it has taken me five months (!!!) to lose the last stone. Pathetic really. Am now 4 pounds away from my goal weight, which is the maximum I'm allowed to weigh according to the BMI. Am still totally undecided if to leave it at that or to carry on a bit.
Would appreciate thoughts!
I am 5'11. I am now 13 stone 1, with a weight of 12 stone 11 my BMI will be 25 and I will be a Gold member. Leave it at that or go down to 12 stone - weight when I got married, also a BMI of 24 which sounds better - or somewhere in between? I just don't know! Another point to consider is that I'm planning to get pregnant again some time this year...

Well done everyone!

Did anyone watch fit club this week??? If they did then dont you think they were a bit harsh on Lizzie...I know she has a big personality and likes to get her opinion heard, but at least she lost some weight and not gained.
Could you imagine looking after 8 children!! Arhhhh

SecondhandRose · 18/02/2005 17:48

OH YES!!! I have lost 1lb taking me to one stone and 1/2 lb since beginning Dec. I celebrated with a McDonalds and new hairdo.

Well done everyone, have a restrained weekend.

marj · 18/02/2005 22:30

Hi everyone. I am due to weigh in tomorrow morning and need to lose 1lb to get to my first stone. It has taken me months to get there but its all in the right direction!
