hello like to join too i have about 2 stone to lose have tried some this year but not enough joined ww and put on weight
want to do it without ww

plan is to eat more at dinner less at tea no carbs after 6 a smalll piece of protein before bed(like 1 slice ham) this keeps your metaabolism ticking over and burning cals

and generally eat more heathily and snack on sweet treats like weight watchers bars go aheads and oatcakes and jam/honey(no fat)

this worked for me before hope i can do it again

my NO list is chips pastry take-aways chocolate !!

Welcome forever you sound very organized, I only wish I had so little to lose.

foreverchanges · 08/08/2009 21:29

thanks lexcat i am a bit late in joining thread hope no one minds

womblingfree · 09/08/2009 17:14

Can I be a late joiner too?

Am starting tomorrow with a minimum of 6 stone to lose, ideally 7.5 to take me down to my pre-marriage and DD fighting weight.

Have just spent 3 days camping with DH and DD and realised I would have enjoyed it so much more if I'd been a healthy weight.

Also due to go to Butlins next Easter and want to be light enough to have a go on the bungee trampoline!!!

paranoidmother · 09/08/2009 20:09

Better late than never I think I've lost a couple more lb's this week but am going to do some exercise this evening and check. Will be back on track for the Wednesday weigh in this week. Am still aiming to try to lose 3 stone by Christmas and a further 3 stone by Easter, which happens to be a day before my birthday next year.

Can i join need lose a lot better have done 3 weeks of diet but need some moral support.Am of to chicargo in June next year for special holiday .

wow never knew eating bit of protein before bed helps.

my problem is day often starts around 3am and finshes about 10 pm so lot of time to get the raving munchies

Ner1993 · 11/08/2009 18:01

Hi girls I'm back from my holiday.

We went to France and despite good intentions I didn't give 2 hoots about what I ate or drank when I got there - lots of wine and pizza!

I went back to fat club last night and was prepared to do the walk of shame but somehow I managed to lose 1.5lbs! I really couldn't beleive it and asked the lady to check the scales again. I can only think my over-indulgance sped up my metabolism momentarily and that I didn't eat the volume that I did pre-diet days.

This week I really want to get back on the healthy eating track and lose 2 pounds so I can get to the 2 stone mark!

Welcome to all the you newbies!

Ner93 -3lbs - Total 1st 12lbs

womblingfree · 11/08/2009 19:48

paranoid - I'm aiming for the same kind of weightloss/timescale as you are., but haven't got off to a great start.

Lost 2lb the week before last, then put it back on last week. not too great yesterday and today, but hopefully can pick it up during the week.

Good luck everyone!

paranoidmother · 11/08/2009 22:41

Well to give myself a boost as i've been trying really hard this week I worked out when I really started to try to lose weight so (I'm horridly over weight)
4th April I weighed 21s 2lb and this evening I weigh 19s 5lb which is a loss of 25lbs. So I am over the moon today.

I want to lose another stone before I go on holiday at the end of October now. I know I can do it, it's a bit cheesy but it's helped coming on here to chat to.

So thank you and I know we can all do it.

foreverchanges · 12/08/2009 10:30

wow paramum thats a great loss well done you ! keep it up

im gonna hop on the scales now but i dont think i will have lost anything yet

lexcat · 12/08/2009 14:16

daynadoodles · 12/08/2009 15:53

Will deffo join, lost 4 stone over past 2 years but NEED TO LOOSE about another 3-4 stone as Im maid of honour at my mates wedding next year. I WILL start again tomorrow and i can't believe i fell off the weight loss wagon after all that good work!!!.
I cant afford any clubs so yeah some support would be good

paranoidmother · 12/08/2009 16:54

daynadoodles welcome. 4 stone is brilliant, keeping it off is half the problem I think.
Good luck

LovingTheRain · 12/08/2009 22:28

Feeling better dd was looking at some of my old clothes, and the conversatoin went a little like this,
"Mum I like this shirt why don't you wear it."
"Well I don't fit into it any more."
"try now mum you might fit it because of your diet"

Any I try it for her benifit and was shocked to find it fits. Got very exicted and tried a old skirt not so luckly.

I'm back to pre dd on my bust just need to work on the tummy, hips and thighs next as I don't really what to loose to much on the bust, (both my sister's are small AA/A cups me on the other hand can I boast a C/D cup size). Don't want little boobs as I like the ones I have.

foreverchanges · 17/08/2009 13:26

lost about 3 pounds this week its a start

lex cat how do you propose to keep your boobie size a c/d cup whist your losing weight ?please tell me as mine always disapear to a b cup if i lose enough weight !!

LovingTheRain · 17/08/2009 18:44

thanks lovingtherain

welldone lexcat too

Ner1993 · 18/08/2009 09:34

Hi Girls

Well it was the last week of the 12 week challenge that I signed up for and I lost 2stone 1oz!!! I can't beleive it and I am motivated to keep on so I have signed up for the next challenge, which will start on 7th September. All I have to do is not fall off the wagon between now and the start of the next one but I know posting on here will keep me focused.

Lexcat - well done - that is brilliant, it's such a great feeling putting on something that once was too small - good for you!

LTR and Foreverchanges that is amazing weightloss - congrats!

All these postings definitely help keep me focused. Although I won't be able to put my weight loss down (as I don't own scales) I'll be able to say whether I have been good or not and tell you how I have done once I start the next challenge.

LovingTheRain · 18/08/2009 10:49

Welldone Ner that's brill What challenge were you on?

OP posts:
Ner1993 · 19/08/2009 10:01

Thanks LTR

Basically I have just been following the Rosemary Conley plan which is based on a low fat/low gi diet - seems to work for me and I also signed up on a 12 week weight loss challenge back in June so was going to meetings once a week to be weighed.

The 12 week challenge isn't run by Rosemary Conley it's a local initiative to get people losing weight and you can sign up and follow whatever plan you like and attend a weekly meeting for a weigh in and talk about nutrition etc. It was really good as it was long enough to get results but not long enough to feel like I was signing up for life. When I started I was at a real low point, bigger than I have ever been, having tried and failed so many times so when the leaflet came through the door I thought 'it's only 12 weeks, I'll give it a go'.

Now I don't want to go back to how I was eating and feeling before so I have signed up for the next challenge and will be starting again on 7th September - As I said before I just have to stay on the wagon until then!!!

How's your week going?

lexcat · 19/08/2009 16:58

Was so hoping to be down a few lbs as I've tried so much harder this week. I'm trying to be positive as I have at lest lost 1lb which is better then it has been.
