I need this weight gone.

It is making me seriously depressed (not in a vague "oh god that's depressing" way, in a very very low, slightly suicidal, don't want to be seen in public kind of way).

I was 6 months pregnant the only time I have weighed this much before.

Just the basics - exercise more in some way, eat better, eat less etc. Was thinking a weekly weigh in might help shame me into doing it.

My name is LostProphet/Flamesparrow/WhateverIamInTheMoodFor and I currently weigh 11st 8oz.

WooHoo Flame going in the right direction

9,7 tonight but i ate dinner with the boys instead of after they've gone to bed so figure that accounts for the added pound.

200 days of Wii Fit tomorrow, started at 11,5 so nearly 2 stone!

Flamesparrow · 08/02/2009 19:47

I soooooooo want wii fit

JustKeepSwimming · 08/02/2009 20:17

You have to get it!
The graphs for weight loss are fab - though i admit i don't use the other stuff as much as i should. \

Flamesparrow · 08/02/2009 20:19

I want it for the yoga if nothing else - so much better than attempting to do it with the DS.

Lack of funds say no wii fit for bloody ages though

JustKeepSwimming · 08/02/2009 20:22

Yeah they are pricey - luckily DH insisted that he wanted one - and he does use it more than me. i would feel a tad guilty if i had insisted given my current usage levels!

The yoga is good, at least i think so, never done proper yoga so nothing to compare it to.

Flamesparrow · 08/02/2009 20:26

Same with me and the DS - I am very impressed with yoga on there, but have no real comparison All I know is I am getting bendier

JustKeepSwimming · 08/02/2009 21:32

PMSL at 'bendier'

hi everyone. been away for a while as i've been trying paul mckenna again and he says not to weigh myself for atleast 2 weeks.

i've gone from 11st down to 10st 5lbs- result!

feeling a lot better. hoping i can maintain it.

hope everyone else is o.k

JustKeepSwimming · 11/02/2009 19:10

Hey joosey - that's fab, well done!

Wii Fit says.....9,5

Lowest since 'records began', lol.
(had the Wii 202 days now, so that's 2 stone in 202 days)

jooseyfruit · 13/02/2009 06:27

justkeepswimming- that's brilliant.
of wii fit.
would really like one, but dd who is 8 said yesterday that she could "do with losing a couple of pounds", i don't want her to be focussing on that at her age! i'm really careful about what i say to her about my weight loss attempts, in fact i don't mention it at all.

JustKeepSwimming · 17/02/2009 19:05

joosey at your DD! It's scary how fast they are growing up

So, went away for a few days, ate & drank lots....and still 9,5
woohoo!!! just 12lbs to target, doesn't sound too much but think it's going to be slow from now on.

Flamesparrow · 22/02/2009 13:47

for Joosey DD

Yay for various losing. I was 11st 4 last night

JustKeepSwimming · 22/02/2009 14:55

Flame - staying the same is good, I was 9,6 last night, up a pound.
And will eat with the boys tonight so won't get an accurate weight after their bedtime.

Have been relaxing my rules i must confess.
Recent 'extras':
Saturday had 2 biscuits + some wine
Friday had bombay mix + wine
Thurs had left over roasties in between meals, no need really, they jsut clled to me

So must get stricter again...

JustKeepSwimming · 26/02/2009 19:04

9,6 again tonight, having gone down to 9,5, boo hiss.

Was out for curry (+wine) last night and have been snacking on ds' gingerbread this afternoon.

MUST be good if i'm ever to get this last less-than-a-stone shifted....
