Hiya,

Am starting Monday, I have not weighed myself yet and think I probably need to loose close to 3 stone but am aiming for 2 by end of March.

Will weigh myself in here on Monday and update each Monday after.
Anyone want to join me?

Hiya,
I'd like to join you... 2010 has GOT to be the year that the weight comes off.... lets all help each other stay motivated!!

p.s. can we start 2moro as am off for new years drinks tonight :0)

ZZMum · 31/12/2009 14:56

me me and all of the rest of me .. the 12 stone of wobbling lard that I seem to be made up off is IN!!!

start tomorrow ... I shall be mainly using a lot of hypnotherapy aversion techniques, a planned approach to each meal, careful assessment of shopping purchases and crying like a baby when the kids eat chocolate near me..

justwhen · 31/12/2009 17:07

and me yes 2010 has to be the year! Here's to motivation and lots of it

tessieb · 31/12/2009 17:53

I definately do need to lose at least 2 stone, preferably 3!!! Every New Year I seem to say this, this year it's got to work as the weight keeps creeping on.

I feel so fat after Christmas. I've just been getting ready for New Year's Eve and really struggled to find anything to wear that looks ok and feels comfortable. My tummy has really exanded over the last week and clothes that were ok fairly recently aren't now!

So, yes please, I'd love to join you. I'm going to weigh myself in the next few days and see just how much I've put on recently.

Lovecat · 31/12/2009 17:57

May I join, please? I have put on 2 stone over the last 2 years and would like to get rid of it!

At the moment I've got an abscess in a crowned tooth and the whole thing needs to come out (can't get it extracted til the 24th Jan - waah!) so I'm hoping the pain will put me off snacking (which is my downfall), but I can't rely on a dodgy tooth to shift all of it!

Exercise is what I really need to do more of. I work on the 8th floor so I am planning on walking up the stairs from Monday... although I may well be MNing via the phone for someone to come rescue me from the stairwell on Monday morning!

Lovecat · 31/12/2009 17:58

PS - Dis!!! I've still got that Hello Kitty hat for your lo if you want it?

justwhen · 31/12/2009 18:48

Hi Lovecat poor you & your abscess, I had an op just before x-mas to remove one from a rather embarassing place - now can't exercise or anything until at least spring as have to have another op in 2 weeks time
Unfortunately as am stuck at home all I seem to want to do is snack as am feelin rather sorry for myself. I need lots of support

mrswill · 31/12/2009 18:58

I am in too, am 10stone 8 as of monday, and am short so its isnt being carried well. Ideally would like to get down to 8st 10, to wear already bought silk playsuit thing for 31st birthday

Catalyst has been photos put up on facebook of a drunken wii session, in which i looked liked an unkempt christmas pudding with makeup on.

I love fashion and beauty etc, and being fat is not making it pleasurable. Clothes shopping is more about getting something to look 'alright' instead of getting what i really want. This fecking flab has to go. Am on Slimming world.

morethanyoubargainfor · 31/12/2009 18:59

i would like to join as well although very abou actually putting weight down inblack and white. Maybe that will shock me into contiuing.

Justwhen, i feel for you i have had too many ops to remove abscesses to count. Hope you feel better soon.

mummymels · 31/12/2009 22:13

Please can I join in. I have started losing weight over the last couple of months but still need to lose at least another couple of stone so by March sounds good timing to me. I have been doing Go Lower and it seems to be working so far.

lilianfox · 01/01/2010 02:03

Hi can I join you? I need to loose about 2 stone and I am going to start 1st January. No snacking in evening for me it's my downfall!

PhaseolusPrope · 01/01/2010 02:12

I would like to join too, please. I need to lose 2 stone because of joint issues by April. No idea how I'll do it, but I'm starting tomorrow!

StanleyFletcher · 01/01/2010 02:45

Ooo - me to! I started WW about 4 weeks ago and have already lost about 10lbs so I am aiming for about 1 and a half stones rather than 2 (which is totally unrealistic for me to EVER be that weight). Is that okay? I am 9.9 as of this morning and really want to be 8.5.

giraffesCanDanceAtHogmanay · 01/01/2010 03:56

Hello can I join? I have tonsillitis just now so that should help me kick start it - don't want to eat a thing!! Will weigh first thing in morning and post.

FiveSoloRings · 01/01/2010 04:00

Monday start for me too. 2 stones off sound good to me, so count me in

Georgimama · 01/01/2010 07:02

Monday start for me too, please. I have two weddings coming up early this year (one in February so not much hope of getting much weight off by then, but could manage ten pounds which would be a start) and a hen weekend in Las Vegas with my skinny cousin and her equally skinny friends. I don't want to be the fat bird who makes up for it by being a "good laugh".

By the sound of it I weigh a good deal more than all of you - please tell me you are all under five foot?

Kayzr · 01/01/2010 07:03

Can I join too? Just started WW again and I have got 5 stone to lose. We want to start ttc DC3 in August so I want to have as much gone by then.

mozette · 01/01/2010 07:25

Me too please! I'm cutting out all bread/crisps/chocolate/biscuits as these are my downfall.

I'm the about the same as you stanleyfletcher and aiming for the same weight. I'll weigh myself in a bit and post.

SparkleandShine · 01/01/2010 08:12

morning!

can I join? I need to lose 2st 3lbs - I've already managed nearly a stone but lost the plot over christmas.

moonmother · 01/01/2010 08:35

I'll join too if thats ok. I'm only little 4'11 so an extra weight really notices, need to lose about 1 1/2 -2 stone.

Weights gradually crept up this past year, I work from home , so I graze most of the day, rather than proper meals.

I'll start Monday and weigh myself then.

I know I'm a grazer so when I go shopping Saturday will buy healthy nibbles rather than unhealthy- lots of fruit , salad, nuts etc.

I'm also a Pepsi addict so will replace water filter cartridge and buy no more pepsi.

Furball · 01/01/2010 08:50

I'm in too!

I lost 2 stone 2 years ago and spent last year putting it all back on again

StanleyFletcher · 01/01/2010 10:48

Get this! Mozzet just referred to me in this post saying she was the same weight and had same amount to lose. Aye aye thinks I... that is my big sister. And lo and behold I am right. Just to appreciate the co-incidence, this is my first post on here, didn't know she was a poster AND I am on the other side of the globe! Brilliant!

So - who started the new year with a big ol' fry up and who had something healthier?

Georgimama · 01/01/2010 11:23

Oh dear, have you gone off to search for old posts to see if she has anything to say about you? God knows I would if I found out my SIL's posting name.
