* * * * * SLIMMING WORLD - NEW YEAR, NEW YOU!!! * * * * *

[Sparkler]

Hi everyone. New thread as promised. A little later than planned but I'm blaming celebrating too much last night.
I wish I could say it was a good start but I'm feeding my hangover today so looks like I'm going to start tomorrow.
Is everyone feeling motivated?

Thanks Nikki, I think I know where there is a Holland and Barratt.
AndMsmum, I saw some suger free wethers type sweets in Lidyl today. If you have a Lydil near youe, have a look, there were strawberry ones as well

Holland and barrett -s tore locator here www.hollandandbarrett.com/pages/stores.asp

I lost 2 lbs so am now 12 st 13! Ive not been in the twelve stone category since i was diagnosed with fibromyalgia a couple of years ago, so im blood well chuffed to be in a new stone! i know ive lost more with the exercise and muscle etc - thats definite with my clothes. Still finding old stuff i now fit in barely worn!

Happy days, even though i had an indian meal out and a night on the booze and hangover munchies.

Back to good now! wooooo! Good stuff on the losses ladies.

Well done zippi!!!!!

It's great to move down into the new stone mark isn't it????

I started at 12st 2lb

Saw me move into the 11 mark, now am 10st 7lb. Can't wait to get below the 10st mark!!

8.7 I am aiming for.. I try not to think about it like that though!!

Weigh in tomorrow night. I have missed a spinning class tonight as I feel ill, have the kids off school ill today too & didn't have the energy. But have stuck to the plan, even when there was a Cadbury flake right under my nose all day!!!

Come on Sparkler... are you still a gym bunny???

fire fair what height are you ?

im 5 6 and am aiming for 11 stone. My heaviest was 14 st 4.

At 11 stone i think i have th perfect figure although didnt realise it then of course!

In pictures its amazing , should i stick a skinny pic up ? :P

I'm 4ft 11" So anything between 7.7 & 8.7 is ok. I have been 7.7 before, just before I got pg with dd & I looked ill!

Yeah, stick up a pic At least we'll know who we're talking to

ahhhhh so weeee!

The figure i am aiming for now

The only pic i have of lately figure wise is this

I was trying to see what my skirt i bought but never fitted into looked like and living alone i took a pic in my obviously grubby mirror..... crazy huh? Im out this weekend so am going to get a full length taken so i canm see on the computer how i really look, rather than i think i look. That makes me mental right?

i122.photobucket.com/albums/o245/lauralaffs/IMGP0125.jpg

i dont know how to add pictures or links and cant see any prompting .... duh

You're really pretty

You have a fab figure in that first pic!! Perfect i'd say!

You're lucky you're so tall

I couldn't get the second link to work though. I just copied & pasted them into the search bar

Thanks for sharing

I don't even have a full body pic! Just a face pic.. will stick it in my profile for a while.

Have stuck a couple on profile, will remove them in a bit.

meh thanks

the skirt i can now zip up is too tight so even shorter than it should be but that was a bout a week ago so another week and ill try it again and just keep hoping

The jeans in my perfect figure ha ha pic, can button up but i have a mini handful over each side so i can see that way better how close i am rather than weight !

People all seem to go for different weights but i think any less than 11 stone i would start to be skinny and i just want to be the way i was !

So if the magic jeans fit me before i get to 11 stone then im at target as far as im concerned! Clothe size is more important than a number on the scales ( besides i dont own any..) Ill stay with the exercise and just see how i end up but relax with the eating a bit once im there

its difficult to see it all rationally i think though . Or objectively.

firelfly im in belfast!

Are you???? Wow!!

Not too far away then!

My sister lives in belfast

Nice firefairy! I cant even remove the pic links now, i dont really care though although i should have stuck my mates pic up should i? Ah who cares!

wouldnt it be funny if we bumped into each other out some time or something! Small world. I didnt thikn there would be anyone here from NI strangely

I must get these scan bran and try to make some of these cakes ! ive never seen scan bran anywhere

They sell them at the meetings, if you know anyone who goes. I go, if you want me to grab you some & post them?

What do you do? Are you at uni?

There are a few of us from NI on here

Laloop
Roselily
cremolafoam
paulaplumpbottom
and redshoes or summat (you know who you are J, but your name has changed again I think!!)

We all met up in the summer at Stormont to do a sponsored walk

To tell you the truth I could bump into you tomorow & still wouldn't recognise you.. I am notoriously bad at faces...

ohhh cool! More nordies!

Nice if yous do one again give me a shout, i organised one myself last year and we walked from holywood to bangor... say no more about that!

14 of us, great day!

Yep, will do

Better head to my bed now, the kids have been off school ill today & we all napped for a few hours this afternoon, so i'll likely go to bed now & stare at the ceiling for an hour!!

Keep up the good work!!

ahhh nightmar sorry for hacking the thread !

Ill try holland b for the scan bran first then shout you if i get stuck, thanks

going to try green tomoro for the first time in ages ! Baked potatoes galore!

zippy you dont look anywhere near your weight in that last pic! i would die for legs like yours! unfortunately thats where i always pile my weight on!
[hope you dont mind me looking at them though]
1 more day to go til weigh in and i've got 1 lb to lose to get to my stone mark! as soon as i've go tto that i'll feel really motivated!!! the first stone always feels like the biggest hurdle!!!

right i best go and get littleun ready for nursery and brave that cold weather and walk round!

[will not take the car, will not take the car, WILL NOT TAKE THE CAR!]

Right rant over lol! enjoy your day ladies

only half a pound off this week. Really frustrating as I still have 1lb to go for my stone & 1/2. Going to cut down from 15 to 10 syns and see how that goes.
Nikki

i lost .5lb! which means ai got my stone award!

Yay Misdee!!

Well done Nikki

Sugarlumps, you're doing well

My weigh in is tonight & I hope I have weight off!!

What day do you weigh in Zippi?

misdee - well done on your stone award - fab acheivement - how long has it taken you? Mine took me 20 weeks!!!!!

nikkid21 - a half off is ok - but frustrating I know! I need to lose 2,5 to get my 1.5 stone award - aiming for that this week - at least as much as I can - so we will get there in the next 2 weeks for definate!

Just had a lovely lunch and sugar free jelly and Mulelrlight and blueberries - feeling stuffed - saving an Alpen Light bar for later!

its taken me sicne the 4th october

the next 5stone sint going to take me that long i hope.

I am the slow norris when it comes to losing weight.

I am hoping once I get under the 10st mark it will fall off me as I have a psychological barrier there!!

20 weeks is nothing for a stone!! By the time I have yo-yo'd up & down & looked at my weight loss over the past yr & half I still only have a stone off!!! Each time I get near 10 stone I put weight on

fFF2, i have that as well, each time i get near losing a stone i panic and it goes tits up. its happened so many times before.
