Yes, as i tried this thread six weeks ago and still haven't. Apologies to all who joined me there but i couldn't face posting again as it has been a massive failure.

i'm only 5'4 and gutted that i got on the scales last night and weigh 10st7lb. I gave up smoking a while ago and since then have gained a stone. don't want to start smoking again but desperate to lose the extra stone. I'm usually a size 12 but now need to buy 14s. What's the plan of action? I need help as have little or no willpower.

hi, donbean. Haven't seen you around for a while, how are you?. You're 10st 2lb and I'm jelous. You've got a 5lb head start on me! I've just bought a chocolate muffin for my ds who usually comes home for lunch, today he hasn't and it's calling me from the kitchen. How can I stop myself eating it??? Help

bottle · 26/11/2004 13:49

bonniej if it was me would chuck it out as not very good at resisting food 'on site', if not then put it out of site to give to your ds later,

got to get back to work will be back later - shall we all try to log in at the very least every friday for updates/support - last on christmas eve!

bonniej · 26/11/2004 13:52

weigh in every friday sounds good to me. see you back here next week. I'll put the muffin in the cupboard and let ds have the calories! see you next week, be good

Donbean · 26/11/2004 16:10

Great, sounds good. good luck girls...we can do it.

fairyfly · 26/11/2004 16:31

Wrestling with my self loathing diet, its very good. It involves putting anything you come across into your mooth, kids leftovers, dry white wine, the odd valium etc. without even noticing.

SantaFio2 · 26/11/2004 16:35

yehbutnobutnobutyeh

Kayleigh · 26/11/2004 16:43

it's probably cheating but i joined w/w 3 weeks ago and have already lost 12 and a half pounds, so i actually only need another 1 and a half pounds and i've lost the stone. Or are you going to make me start from today !

Seriously - I would love to lose a stone between today and xmas. Am not putting my weight on here but will put my weigh-in losses (or gains )on a thurs from w/w on here on a friday.

Can i join ???

bonniej · 26/11/2004 17:12

the more the merrier! I've consumed my daily amount of calories already today so can't have any dinner tonight oh well, i'm still having a glass of wine. fluid doesn't count

vict17 · 26/11/2004 17:17

okay I'll join too. I'm 9st 10 and used to be 9 stone and would love to get back to that

fairydust · 26/11/2004 17:18

can i join to please - not starting till monday thought as need a few days to prepare

vict17 · 26/11/2004 17:19

me too fairydust - am going away for the night tomorrow for drinks and lots of unhealthy food

bonniej · 26/11/2004 17:22

we couldn't have picked a worse day to start really, Friday night's the beginning of the weekend. We won't start seriously until monday

vict17 · 26/11/2004 17:23

are we just dieting or exercising as well?

bonniej · 26/11/2004 17:32

I'm retrieving my exercise bike from the shed and going to try and use it while watching telly. I'm also walking a lot more with dd. I find it much easier when you can take a pushchair. It's up to you really.

fairydust · 26/11/2004 17:33

i think monday is a serious day to start. how are you all going to loose this stone???
