Hi Yorkie girl. I am sorry I keep not posting. To be honest, since I came off the tablets, my weight has fluctuated by 3 pounds up and back down each week so nothing has actually changed but I have maintained thankfully. I am back on the tablets this week but managed to put on 6 pounds earlier in the week Sad(2 party buffets) and have lost them all since then. At least I'm back where I started and hopefully, will now start loosing again properly. I would like to be part of the group after Christmas and will try to remember to post each week. Blush

Yes please, I want to start again in the New Year (from scratch!) ... and in the meantime enjoy a guilt-free Christmas Grin

My weight has been slowly creeping up again, now consistently (just) over 10 stone, so I definitely need to apply myself and get it shifted back down again after Christmas.

I will if I can change my weigh in day to a Monday.

It is the only day I can Gaurantee that I will be able to get to the library to use the computer

Kittypickle · 13/12/2004 11:08

Yes please ! I'm still plucking up the courage to get to SW and see what damage I've done to the 26lbs I lost earlier this year :(

LunarSeasonsGreetings · 13/12/2004 11:45

Guess I'll still be here for a while longer yet.

Kaysleighbells · 13/12/2004 12:11

Please can I join next year?

Have been doing w/w for a few weeks and have almost lost a stone (1/2 pound to go). Have some great support on the w/w thread but a bit extra would be good.

Demented · 13/12/2004 13:28

Mailed you Yorkiegirl, but I intend to be back in January, its too cold and dark round here to diet! Grin

TheFennelandtheIvy · 14/12/2004 17:29

Sorry to be so dumb, but what is mumsnet mamas exactly? I've got the general idea about losing weight, but what do we do?

I'm going to do SW, but haven't decided whether to do it on my own or join a club. It seems a lot of money just to get weighed, when i can do it at home. (tightwad emoticon!)What do you all think?

sanchpanch · 01/01/2005 19:16

brill thanks, i am kean to find out about the new switch diet ww are doing, might have a look on website, i have done points one before, and did well so hopefully it hasnt changed to much, although i am sure i could just do points if it has,

sanchpanch · 01/01/2005 19:19

i am better if i go to club each week, have tried to do it on my own and failed i found it to easy to give up, but if you have good will power i am sure you will succeed, the other thing to do is get someone else to weigh you each week, girls at my work have a weigh in every two weeks, but i am to scared to join in with them,
