Hi girls!!

Right.... the rules:

1 No big goals.
2 No failing.
3 No guilt trips.

Our goals need to be realistic. It freaks me out to think I need to lose 10 stone. That's 140 pounds - it's a WHOLE PERSON!!!!

Therefore I propose that we make ourselves realistic goals. Ignore the final hurdle; the first hurdle is my first half a stone.

7 lbs.

No failing: if you put on any weight, then IT IS ALRIGHT. It will come off again.

We will try our best to keep our weight going down, but if it has a blip, then it has a blip - no big deal, ok?

I am sick and tired of putting myself on and feeling guilt tripped by people because I put a pound or two on this week.

NEWSBREAK: it doesn't matter in the big picture!

Focus on the positives.

We will encourage each other as we muddle along together, agreed?

Here is our inspiration to keep going:

Only One Pound

Hello! Do you know me? If you don't, you should. I'm a pound of fat. And I am the happiest pound of fat that you would ever want to meet.

Want to know why? It's because no one ever wants to lose me; I'm ONLY ONE POUND, just a pound!

Everyone wants to lose three pounds, five pounds, or fifteen pounds, but never only one.

So I just stick around and happily keep you fat. Then I add to myself, ever so slyly, so that you never seem to notice it. That is until I've grown to ten, twenty, thirty or even more pounds in weight.

Yes, it's fun being ONLY ONE POUND OF FAT, left to do as I please.

So, when you weigh in, keep right on saying, "Oh, I only lost one pound." (As if that were such a terrible thing) For you see, if you do this, you'll encourage others to keep me around because they'll think I'm not worth losing.

And, I love being around you - your arms, your legs, your chin, your hips and every part of you.

Happy Days!!! After all, I'm ONLY ONE POUND OF FAT!!!

Thanks neverwas...I did o.k. yesterday...not great, but o.k. I didn't eat anything between meals, other than low fat yoghurt and I had chicken salad for tea, so tis not too bad a start.

I'm hoping that today will be better. I'm just off to get the shopping for the week...lots of yummy low fat food for a change.

Hope things are going well for everyone on line.

I'm also off to weigh myself (something I've been putting off for a while).

Hi gals
Can I join please? Getting married in 4 months and have been idly sitting around waiting for the weight to disappear, so am making a stand as of today. No, "I'll start on Monday" get out for me!
I have got 3 stone to lose ideally, but will settle for 2.5! Or anything really - just fed up with being verging on obese.
Have joined WW today only so I can be humiliated at the weigh in each week!

Last night I lapsed. It wasn't big or clever but it was chinese takeaway and a few glasses of wine, just me & dh. We don't get a night to ourselves often and I love Chinese food. Will stick with the chow mein next time though

I've started again today...hopefully an increase in exercise & a good few days will balance things out!
