Loosing 6 stone + - anyone want to join me? :D

[LovingTheRain]

Starting tomorrow, my healthy eating begins (And exercise)

I am going to loose 6 stone (atleast).

Would love others to join me who want to loose some weight, we can support eachother etc!

Just add running total as it's great when you have a bad week to be able to focus on the bigger picture.

If it makes you feel better I did make a start in February. So really have made very slow progress. Didn't help falling of the wagon big time at easter and took about 4 week to get back into the diet.

I've stayed the same 3 weeks running now. I know i've been off the wagon, but have enjoyed being off as i've been to some parties with DCs and can't say no to cake!!!

Starting again wednesday

meant to say welldone to you both!

Where have you all gone surely can't only be three.

Go on be brave let us know how your getting on good or bad . After all we're here to help each other out.

Together we can shed a large amount of weight, and meet our goals.

Back on track tomorrow. Indugled myself today but was so worth it! Tomorrow morning, back to calorie counting and exercise!

Come on lovingtherain you can do it. It's not easy starting by it gets easier. Once you start loosing the weight that helps too.

Instead of kidding your self, I'll start tommorow everyday stick with it and start. Sorry if that sounds hard but I've been their kidding myself and it really is so much better now I'm not and really am on diet and loosing weigh. I feel so much better in myself when I think about the goals I'm working to and it not one day it happening now.

just had to say that i'm really happy today did an hour of step yesterday and been for a 3 mile gossip walk with a friend this evening and feel good.

Hey ladies, I'm still here! Well done on your losses this week

Another 1.5 off this week making a total of 8.5lb and starting to notice the difference!

Also 7" off, 3 from bust, 1 from waist and 3 from hips since the beginning of May....woohoo

Glad to see you are getting back on track LTR

Just about to walk to the city farm with my girls, a 6 mile round trip, so we are going to walk it and make the most of the sunshine (and get some exercise!)

Hope you all have a fab week!

Is it too late for me to join? I'm hoping to start my healthy programme on holiday believe it or not as I won't be sat around eating from boredom/being on my own when dcs in bed. I envisage getting a bit of exercise walking and swimming as friends will be on hand to look after dcs for a few hours each day.
I'll hop on scales before I go on Monday and let you know how i get on!

Good on you scodgie - have a lovely holiday and hope the weather holds for you.

Thanks! Trying to be realistic I have a stone to lose, how long should that take?

Hi all

I'd love to join in too please? I have 6.5 stone to lose and started just over a week ago. I lost 7.5lbs in my first week!!! I was pleasantly shocked by this and it has spurred me on for this week. I'm following the Rosemary Conley plan and trying to do as much walking as possible. I haven't told anyone (other than my husband and girls) what I am doing so I would really value the support on here as you are all doing so brilliantly

Ner

Hi Ner,

When I was at my heaviest I tried so many diets and the Rosemary Conely one really worked, especially with a bit of exercise. I will go back on that after holiday. I am really strict for the first two weeks and follow it rigidly then use it as a guide after that and the weight continues to come off....hope it works for you!

Welcome newbies! Never too late to join!

Let's add you all to the list for ths week and we can all update each week.

So far this week we have a combined weight lost of 1 stone and 3lbs really excellent everyone lets try and keep up own excellent deiting.

Lovingtherain how it's going it I've added you name ready for you to add your first loss (or gain but we really hope not). Really hope your having a good day with your diet.

Thanks Lexcat - we are all doing well!

I am doing okay today although I am having one of those annoying hungry days where I could just eat and eat. It doesn't help that I had a migraine last night and I'm worried about having another one. I've eaten more than I normally do but have been really careful in my choices and should still keep within my allowance - fingers crossed!!

What do you all do on those hungry days???

Lexcat - since i started this thread i did well for a few weeks before i feel off the wagon. Have been on and off for a while but on now and lost 1lb today!

In total for me that's 6lbs since i began

LTR - -1 lb - Total - 6lbs

Aplogises LTR for not noteing your earlyier wieght loss. So pleased to read you seen to be back on the wagon.

Paranoidmother -5lbs Total -5lbs
Lexcat -3lbs Total -10.5lbs
Chilimama -1.5lbs Total -8.5lbs
Ner1993 -7.5lbs Total -7.5lbs
Lovingtherain -1 lb Total -6lbs

That's another 1lb thanks LTR to add to the overall weeks weight lost making it 1 stone 4lbs for this week. Wondering should me have a ongoing total weigh loss from the start or is that a bit to much.
