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!

Thanks para you have done so well i've been put to shame. Makes me feel better that even you can have off weeks.

The thing to do is alwayes keep in mind you over all loss. Then the bad weeks never seem so bad (says she who seem to have had a bad month).

I lost 1.5lbs this week so total is

LTR - 1st 6lbs

Welldone to everyone for your achievements this week. Even if you didn't see the number you wanted to on the scales this week, you're not giving up which is the main thing!

Feeling great at last I'm back on track. Loss of 3lbs for this week.

Away for the next 5 days eating out for every meal, at show with lots of things like cake stands, ice cream vans.,burger bars and the worst of all doughnuts stands. I'm dreading it but am going to try so hard. Planning to keep this weeks loss in mind every time I'm tempted.

Lexcat -3lbs Total -1st 6lbs

How are the rest of you doing this week?

welldone lexcat, that's fab!

I am not weighed till tonight but am hoping for 2lbs or more!

Well done Lexcat - that is a brilliant loss! whoo hoo! Good luck for next week.

I have been good (apart from excess wine on Saturday night) but don't know if I have lost anything until 7th Sept as that is when I get weighed again.

Good luck tonight LTR!

thanks guys!

Lost 2lb last week bringing my total to

1st 8lbs!

Weigh in again tomorrow evening so i'll let you know how I get on tomorrow

Well done LTR your doing so well.

No change for me this week which I'm quite pleased about, was thinking there may have been a gain. Been away and my choice of food as been limited. Four days in a row breakfast was a bacon butty and pub dinner every night ie chips with everything. Plus when everyone else is having pudding and your been on you feet all day it very hard to say no thank-you.

Hi, would it be ok for me to join you?

Don't mind if you are all doing it together and don't want another bod, but if you do let me know.

I am enjoying my last day of pre-dieting. Birthday today and off out tonight. Start with a new regime in the morning. All fired up to lose as much as possible. I really should lose about 7 stone (at least), but that just sounds way too much, so I will be setting my long term goal as 5 stone and smaller goals on the way. ie a stone at a time.
5 DC's 2 jobs and a bit of a manic lifestyle, but I need to exercise more.

I would appreciate joining people who can have a laugh and kick me up my massive behind when I feel like giving up!!!

positiveattitudeonly Snap it was my birthday yesterday as well. Happy belated Birthday.

Of course your welcome to join us more the merrier I say. I myself started with at least 7 stone to lose. Can't say I've been the best dieter by any means but it's slowly coming off. I try not to think too long term and work from week to week. To start with I kept thinking of the new slimmer me to help get me going. Now I try and focus on the progress I have made.

Got it tough this week as I was brought two large chocolate birthday cakes yesterday. Lost 1 1/2 lbs for this week. Yes!!! that takes me just over 1 1/2 stone total.

Lexcat -1.5lbs Total -1st 7.5lbs

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY to you too.

Thanks for the welcome.

First day did not go as planned . Running round like a mad thing this morning before work, then on the way to work (in car because I was late, so already failed on that resolution!) I suddenly realised that I had totally forgotten to have breakfast! . Healthy lunch was packed in my bag, but as soon as I got to work I was starving, so lunch was eaten before 9.30! I had used that danish bread for sandwiches and have decided it feels like eating air and my stomach certainly felt as if I had eaten air -and not a lot of air, by about 10.30!!
Have behaved since being home and looking forward to a nice tea tonight as DH is working late, so I can be good with something he hates and I love!

Not too sure how much my starting weight is as I am very embarrassed to say that my scales go up to 19 stone and I am over that!
So first goal is to get down to be able to weigh myself properly. If this does not happen within a month I will take a deep breath and go and weigh on the public scales in Boots.
My plan is to do a low fat diet, maybe I will use Alli to give me a boost if I get "stuck". I am going to be walking to work as much as possible and I also want to lose enough weight to feel able to go swimming, and that should give me another boost (hopefully).
What are you all following and how long have you been going for?

Well if it makes you feel better I have ended up nibbling on chocolate cake all day. Keep having tiny slices but had not been able to keep away and my tiny slices must have added up to quite large slice/s. It's very good cake.

I found you get use to smaller amounts of food and stop been hungry all the time with in a week or two. What's harder is eating because you can not because your hungry ie tried or stressed because the kids are eating, or in my case chocolate cake in the tin ect..... Hope that last sentence makes sense as it the best I can manage to explain what I mean.

Where is everyone this week come on good or bad let us know about this weeks weigh-in. At the moment I'm the only one recorded.

Lexcat -1.5lbs Total -1st 7.5lbs
Ner93 ?lbs Total ?1s ?lbs
LRT ?lbs Total -?st ?lbs
Para ?lbs Total -?
Foreverchanges ?lbs Total -?

Paranoia has now set in. Nobody is posting since I added myself.

Come and tell me I don't smell!!

Well done on your loss this week lexcat. I was at a friends house and jumped on her scales(well not jumped, cos they would have broken! ) and I am a smidging under 20 stone. So I will use 20 as my starting point, although this may be not too accurate as I will start using my scales as soon as I can.

Really encouraged about the fact I am not feeling hungry. It really seems to be mind over matter. BUT off out for lunch now with DD3, so hopefully they have an appetising something healthy.

hiya,
can i join you all, im jen im getting married next year and so need to loose some weight!! i started weight watchers last thursday. To get down to what i want to be i need to loose approx 8 stone, though need at least 2 for next august maybe 3 as ive bought a wedding dress i love and cant get into!!!! however i love the dress and the style means it wont be easy to make smaller so cant loose too much unless i loose so much that i really am skinny then i can buy a new dress without feeling bad!!!
how much is everyone else trying to loose? please tell me im not the biggest here? im motivated at the moment on my weight watchers but not sure how long it will last, really hoping it will last long enough though im sick of being big!

Welcome meerkatsandkookaburras what a fantastic reason for your weight loss. I've got about 7st so far have managed 1 1/2 st. We are all larger woman with larger targets.

This thread (thanks LTR for starting it)has really helped me keep me going and are the only people who know my total target. So it always great to have new blood to be able to support in the same quest.

hiya and thanks for the welcome, its been dp's birthday today so i kind of have not stuck to the weight watchers but then on the other hand ive been saving points the last few days and not gone too overboard so im hoping still ok though we will see on thursdays weigh in!! Until todays lack of motivation i have felt great about eating better and been very motivated so im hoping that can start again tomorrow. My main problem is an obsession with the scales, i constantly get on to see if ive lost any (like about 6 times a day lol) i know full well its not gonna show anything and if it does its not definate etc but i just get obsessed about it so trying this time to be brave and only go on at ww, though its killing me!!

Welcome positiveattitudeonly and meerkatsandkookaburras Both of you are very welcome and I am glad you have decided to join us!

Sorry I have been away from this thread, couldn't find it anywhere for over a week but it popped up again tonight on my threads list

So far I have lost
1st,9lbs.

I still have 7st,5lbs to loose!

I am on a long journey, but all journeys need to start somewhere and I am glad we are all on this one together

Well done loving the rain youre doing great keep it up! xx

Hi again,

Well done for the weight loses. How long have you been going, lovingtherain?

I think I was doing ok. I am a terribly impatient person and expect instant results, which I know is stupid, but after a week of dieting I expect to at least be a size 12!!! Ok maybe not going to work as it was probably 24 years ago I was that size! Anyway, I was a little niggled this week as I could not visit my friend with the scales as she had a dentist appointment - how inconsiderate, although she doesn't even know I am using her scales! Next week I should be able to see a difference though when I stand on hers and hopefully soon I can use mine at home.
I wasn't getting too hungry as I am trying to keep busy and have lots of yummy fruit in the fridge.

Last night DH came home from work with 3 big boxes of cakes/icecreams/yummies etc...... The freezer had broken at work and he brought it home for our freezer! OH no. Disaster. The yummy rocky road chocolate cake screamed from inside the freezer at me all night. I was nearly forcefeeding it to the kids, so that it would all be gone before I caved!! If I stay out of the house with my air bread sandwich and bottle of water maybe I wont succomb. 4pm totday is going to be the tough time!!!! GGGRRrrrrrr!!!!!
I now have a freezer full of all the stuff I would have loved and its driving me bonkers!

Tried really hard but the birthday cake won and I've stayed the same this week.

Lexcat -0lbs Total -1st 7.5lbs

Sorry to hear about you looseing us LTR it's great to have you back.

positiveattitudeonly I think the hardest bit is getting going but every lb you loose makes it easier. Having said that it hard when you gain or stop loosing the weight for a few weeks. I started back in late febuary time and have made very slow progess (one of the slowest here) but I feel so much happier in myself with changes that I'm slowly working towards. Just over 2.5lbs a month .

positiveattitudeonly - I think I started this thread April timeish and dieted on my own but joined my club in July!

lost 0.5lbs yesterday so total now is:

LTR- 1st 9.5lbs

positiveattitudeonly - atleast if they're in the freezer you cannot eat them straight away as they would take ages to defrost and give you time to realise you don't actually want it!

lexcat - I had a similar situation a few weeks ago! It will come off next week

Loving the rain - Too late. No defrosting needed - straight in microwave for the most scrumptious gooey chocolate delight!!! Yum. The good thing now is that the ones I like are now all gone, so not bothered about the others! I made the kids eat the one i liked first. Only had a little bit, otherwise I would have felt deprived!
Stomache is rumbling now though!

Meant to say well done, too for the continued weight loss!

hi all, well after week one on weight watchers ive lost 3.5 pounds, loads more to go but a good enough start i think, just got to keep it up now

That's a brilliant start M&M! You musst be really pleased!

I am still not able to weigh at home, but hopefully in a few weeks time I will be able to! Although I will then have to be strict with myself and not keeping hopping on and off and getting disappointed if it doesn't go down!

Have a good weekend everyone!
