3 stone to lose - would like some company....

[lulu41]

would anyone like to join me. I am going to start on Monday.

I am not joining any clubs but will be loosely following WW.

Need to cut out the alcohol, crisps, cheese and chocolate (not totally) .

I would love some company. Will try to log on everyday to keep up with anyone who joins me but I do work full time so please dont be cross if I dont reply quickly!!!

I am really down right now about the way I look and would love to share my joys/lows with others - speak soon x

[VeniVidiVickiQV]

My goal weight is apparently 8 stone 10lb!!!! I havent been that since I was 14 (and I was a very fit teenager - I used to do athletics and sports).

10.5 to 11 stone (size 12-14) would be just fine for me.

[colditz]

I suppose i have major problems believing anything under 8 stone is healthy - I was 10 stone when I was 16 and although I wasn't happy then, I look back at photos and realise I looked GREAT!

[JossStick]

I'm aiming for 10 stone. I have been 9 in my 20s but i worry now it'd make everything flop too far south if i went down to that now. And i might look like a shrivelled prune.

Well - that's my excuse anyway

[JossStick]

Anyhoo - i think BMI's are too low.

A recent (proper) study showed that people who are just a little overweight live longer.

Surely this means they are the right weight and we need to readjust what is 'overweight'.

Anyway - it's not nice to be told by a nurse you're obese at 11.5 stone.

[happymumathome]

Hello, can i join in too please? I have 2 stone to lose too.
Have realised that I need to do something NOW as the roll below my boobs is now bigger than my boobs...........not a good look I think
Also have 9 month old ds so can sympathise with the" oh am breastfeeding I can eat anything!!"

[glitterkitty]

Can I join? I have 2 stone to lose to get to 9, want to do it by june when we go on holiday- have been trying since New Year but failing miseably.

Think I need to hide all the bad xmas stuff around the house.

I have absolutely no willpower. Does Paul McKenna work then, whoever was trying it?

[Pinkranger]

I have been good today ,cant belive i havent touched any sweets or biscuits for 2 whole days!!! Can you tell my weekeness!

Them recommended weight make me laugh, same as VVVQ, im never gonna be the size they say!!!

[Pinkranger]

sorry for bad spelling

[colditz]

Potatoes are going to be my savior. You can get a LOT of potato for three points!

[JossStick]

Really Colditz?

I live on potatoes and always thought this was a bad thing (or is it what i put on them?)

[VeniVidiVickiQV]

I've had a plastic thai curry for dinner tonight (aka Sainsbos be good to yourself pineapple and chicken curry).

I still have 9.5 points left

I dont think potatoes do me any favours actually.

Soooo.....do I spend, or do I save ladies?

I was a size 14 when I was 11.5 stone which I dont think is humungous - personally.

[colditz]

you can't bank more than 4 points a day, so spend

[colditz]

you don't put anything on them

[LadyJogsAlot]

hey,

can i join?
i'm not going to ww but am following points. monday is my weigh in day.

monday this week: 12.4 st
aiming for 10

went for 20 min jog yesterday and today, so far so good.

going again on thursday.

must find my points book.
do you write what you've had down?

[Dixichik]

Hi all,
Hope your diets are all going well. Had a very boring dinner of rice and tuna. But have put a load of lentils into soak for tomorrow. They are really good at filling me up.

[VeniVidiVickiQV]

Woohooo

[Pinkranger]

we must be of a similar shape VVVQ as i was also a size 14 at 11.5 which i was more than happy with. I had a chicken/Veg casserole and Pots - Love potato when on WW

[araucaria]

Hi all, and welcome to all the newbies

Not a bad day today, even if it did start at 4.30 - thanks to DS!
Have decided to really try to have healthy snacks rather than my usual dougnut type ones and did really well - had carrot with humous. All going well until bit of a blip, this evening visisting my Dad and found some Christmas chocolate liqueurs - Oopps

This WW weight thing sounds a bit scary - will have to go and see what it suggests my ideal weight would be, but I would be very chuffed with 10 and 1/2 stone.

Happymumathome - I too hoped that breast feeding would make me slim while I ate what I wanted - no such luck either!

Got to go baby crying for the 4th time this evening agghh....

[VeniVidiVickiQV]

Just had some oatcakes to use up my excess - delicious - surprisingly!

2 days down now.......

Tomorrow is another day.

[calzone]

OK

today I had

2 bowls of Special K with peaches which is delish.

Tea and coffee and diet lemonade during the day.

Low blood sugar at 5pm so did snack on some cow biscuits with ds2.

Wild mushroom and creme fraiche with fresh pasta A La DH

Muller lite yoghurt.

[happymumathome]

Morning all! Heres to a great day of eating what is GOOD for us
ladyjogsalot have you got any top tips re starting running, am going out later if this wind (outside!!) dies down ?

[silkcushion]

Hello am I too late to join?

Need to lose 4 stone minimum. Have a dd 9 weeks old and feel like I am made of custard poured into my clothes and spilling over . No one told me what happened to your stomach!!!! Was used to being fat but was pretty firm before.

Running - look at the runners world website. They have a programme I followed 2 years ago when doing the race for life, From beginner to 5km in 6 weeks iirc. It was ace cos I hadn't run since cross country when I was 13!

My tactic is to write down everything I eat for a week. I think I constantly graze on a load of shite . So before dieting I need to change my habits and eat consciously iyswim instead of just shovelling food in without even realising I'm doing it.

Exercise - not that easy to get to the gym at the moment even though I am am a member. Playing badminton once a week and doing 2 different dvds at home. Figure I should be able to mangae that when dd has her lunchtime nap.

Goal no 1 - fit into my current clothes comfortably by the end of the month (they are size 20 fgs)

[Eddas]

I want to join too please.

I need to lose at least 2 stone but really 2 and a half to get me to 9 1/2, which for my height (5ft4) would be a good weight.

I'm going to start cutting back now and then start the diet with avengance in monday, once I have cupboards/fridge full of good stuff and a meal plan for the week!

Will read the rest of the thread later to get some tips

[LadyJogsAlot]
