i wanted to start a thread for ladies with a fair bit to loose, i am 5ft 4 and if i lost 4 stone i would still be overweight, but i would be happy in myself if i lost 4 stone. well ecstatic really!

i am at work and got to go but will check back later.

I am thinking of joining again on thurs but am unsure because I work in a fastfood place and am not too keen on giving up my free food.

I need to do something though. I have about four stone to lose too.

I'm that dumb I didn't even notice so don't worry.

I am going to asses how many points my free food will be and then decide on whether I will do ww or something else.

well i am 17st 2 and can have 32, yes 32 points!! yet to see if i can eat all of them and still lose weight

Ooh yes I forgot about that! I weigh more this time around and will be able to have more points, so if I have a smaller brekkie and lunch I can still have my free food.

I wonder how many points I would get now.

Hi! I joined S.W last week and its my fist weigh in tonight. Need to lose 3 stone. Don't really understand WW and points. But I get upto 15 "sins" a day on sw.

i did sw last year, it is a good plan, but i get stuck in a rut and eat the same free food all the time and get bored, i also found it reall really hard to go out to eat as i couldnt have both meat and carbohydrates.

decided to try ww again, see how i get on.

If I'm eating out I'll go on an original day, so I can have a steak or gammon or lamb with 7oz new pots as healthy B. (Although in the past I've cheated and had chips...)
Really determind this year. I want to be included in family photos this year, not hide away from cameras.

good for you, i hope it all goes well for you.

i have been sticking to it so far, i even threw away a half eaten mimi mars bar that dd had, i would usually pop it in my mouth but though, no every little bit helps

I don't miss chocolates, my downfall is crisps. Walkers sensations, posh cheese and onion is current fav, though not had any in 10 days. The shakes have just about dissappeared now.....

hows it going? i have been on this diet for 4 days and it feels like a lifetime

Pwsimerimew · 16/01/2009 13:11

I can't beleive how positive I am! I think I must have joined SW about a dozen times, but this time I've joined with a friend, so there's a bit of healthy competition going on.
When's your weigh in? Do you drink a lot of water? I bought some Tesco sparkling spring water, flavoured and am happy to say it's syn free for me. It's so nice, I think I'm having something naughty!
Will have one bottle larger tonight and strech it out with diet lemonade. Quite like shandy.
Having anything nice for tea?

stillenacht · 16/01/2009 13:13

me too (was going to start on 2nd Jan) but then AF came and i couldn't face going to the gym - calming down now so am gonna go for it beig time as from Monday

Pwsimerimew · 16/01/2009 14:54

I'll have to go to gym, but keep putting it off - too cold, too dark, too tired. I can only just about find the enthusiasm to go on Wii fit, and no one can see me on that!

i odnt drink enough water, i always say i am going ot then just forget! i dont drink alot full stop, i cant stand fizzy water, its like drinking gas even flavoured water makes me feel queasy!

my weigh in is on monday, feels liek a life time away. there is a place in town claaed curves and aparently it is ment to be good. a 30 min workout designed just for women, it sounds good and i might try it. i was a member of the gym but cancelled it a few months ago as i couldnt find the time to go.
i odnt know hwats for tea, i live with my parents and she is cooking tonight so its a surprise

stillenacht, i have been on mumsnet for years now and still dont know what AF stands for, what does it mean? i gather its something to do with womans bits?
