Not fat exactly..but not happy either. Just me? Anyone want to join in a friendly, motivational thread to lose a dew pounds?

[sassy]

Gave birth to dd2 4.5 months ago and since then I have lost 2st2lbs of the 3st I put on in pg. I would like to be slimmer than I was when I conceived though, so ideally have about 22lbs left to go.
It would really help me to have a pal or two to chivvy me along.
Any takers?

Sassy, try this link to go to a group in yahoo where I have set up a database for us to record our data. It needs some tweaking but its a start.
The log in is:

Password:
sassysgirls
have a look at this

When you have accessed the yahoo using the login,
find the link which says 'groups' and click on that.
The MarjorieDawes group should appear on the left.
The database link in that group is what we could all fill in each week to record our progress.
I have put all the names from the thread into the data base already, you need to find your name and scroll along to 'edit', which will, when clicked, open your record to allow you to add your details. Try putting in your starting weight and height.
Be warned, you need to sign out after you have done this or nobody else will be able to use those login details. If you have your own yahoo addy i can invite you into the group that way and you will be able to enter using your own log in details - that would be a lot easier for each individual. At the moment, anyone can enter detail into the data base - try not to delete the whole thing everyone.
I hope you don't mind me initiating this Sassy, I just thought it may help everyone keep a record of where they were up to- and would ease the allocation of the virtual rewards!

Hi Hi5, I've put me info in. Feel abit lost, all very technical and all that........
Anyway I do have a BTyahoo account, so to save me typing in different passwords could I be invited. Also could I weigh on a Friday as my scales are still reading wrong. Cheers

Hi Furball, I just need your yahoo addy to invite you in, although I suppose if you logged on wtih the password below, you could in theory invite yourself in?

Congratulations Furball, for being the first to add your data. Did you put walking and meringues in the database? If you did,they ended up on Issymums data, if no, then well done to Issysmum for adding data.

Like table hi5 makes the round up much easier.
Got lots of data to import from early weeks, will do this later on when kids in bed.

See you all tomorrow for weigh in!

Cant seem to do that yahoo thingy...mine is [email protected] to invite me please...I am 11.4 this week!

Thanks MD, you just need to remind everybody to sign out if they log in with that ID or it ties it up.
I only put 3 or 4 weeks prior to this Weds weigh in, Its been more than that though, hasn't it?

Hi CC, I've invited you in, you just click on the link when you get it I think.

Done it...Iw as weighed at work today so have put that in for tommorows as I always seem to forget on a wednesday.

Unfortunately it was not me adding meringues and walking.

Just a reminder to see you on the new thread girls..

Hi may I join the big/slim/whatever club? I am fed up with trying to lose weight and not making it. I weigh a mighty 12:6 at 5 foot 6. I have such a fat belly still, and youngest is 2 and a half! I think my problem is emotional face-stuffing. If I feel sad/lonely/confused I hit the kitchen. Plus I am keen on wine... If I am clumsy on this site please be kind as I am new to all this.

Hi screwballmuppet, I've invited you in... just click on the link when you get it, btw, why are you on crutches, was that deep in the tread somewhere? Are you okay?
