8st to lose (first goal - 2 stone) - Anyone else got a lot to lose?

Hi everyone,

I have lost 2 stone recently and have another 8 to go - yes that is 10 stone loss altogether!

Anyone know where I can set up a free blog? I think it would help to keep me motivated/concentrated on my marathon and encourage others along the way.

Hi LewisFan. I have about six to lose. It seems an impossible goal doesn't it. I can only offer you support on here. The thing that has worked most for me is cutting out carbs, the weight has just fell off. I was 19st 2 but am now just over 16. Motivation is lacking in my case.

Hi

I need to lose about 8-9 stone but I'm putting it off until I start work (hopefully next month) as I have temptation all around me staying at home all day. Plus, it's too dark and miserable to give up warming comfort food right now. I know these will probably sound like excuses but there is a logic in my thinking (to me anyway).

me - I've got about 10 to lose and joined WW (again...) last week. Don't know about blogs though - are a bit new-fangled!!.

When I joined ww a couple of years ago I lost 5 stone and was doing really well. Then dh lost his job and finances were a bit tight and I couldn't afford to go to the meetings. So I got back into bad habits and put it all back on again

I think I need the weekly "walk of shame" to keep me on the straight and narrow!!

My motivation is another dc - it will help me conceive if I am healthier than I am now...

Support on here will be good

Just wanted to say good luck to you all and congrats for making a decision to start the task!

Last year I lost 3 stone with Slimming World and despite my scepticism the weekly meetings worked well for me. I was a target member before Xmas but think not so now. Anyway, just to say 'you can do it and it feels amazing'!!!

I've got 6 to loose, diet starts monday so will be in here loads

Alambil · 23/01/2008 13:57

I have lost 2 already; just another 8 to go lol!

I am doing the low GI diet - it is dead easy and full of warm comfort foods (casseroles/stew etc) but without the vast amount of carbs.

It is really easy and works well too.

We should all hang out in here and support eachother if you want

I need to lose 4 stone and want to start tomorrow. Have tried both slimming world and WW before but can't seem to stick to it.

What is the low GI diet? Sounds like it might suit me as I get SOOOO hungry.
