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?

Ok, let's keep the ball rolling:

Upper arm: 12"

Bust: 36"

Waist: 28.5"

Hips: 41" 2/8

Thighs at widest part: 43.5"

One thigh: 27"

Calf: 15"

Last piece of Christmas cake eaten. Stilton in freezer. I'm ready!

My waist is much bigger than everyone elses so I think I might keep it a secret!

ABitOfPizzazz · 03/01/2010 20:20

Have name changed from ChunkyKitKat as I don't want to be reminded of them!

morethanIbargainedfor - when I measure I think I will be similar to you. Can't face it until I feel a little less bloated.

I have decided to weigh in tomorrow morning first thing then do WW meeting later on in week.

ABitOfPizzazz · 03/01/2010 20:22

I think my waist is probably about 38 inches but will report in a couple of days.

gruber · 03/01/2010 21:22

Kayzr you sound like you could be my twin!

I too am a bit about my weight given my height, but sure we can stick through it together.

I have signed up to the Bupa online health check as an additional stimulus, mainly because it was free and has beginners running programs.

I will exercise at least 3 times a week.

I will try to cycle rather than drive.

I will try not to snack during the day and eat more healthily.

Roll on tomorrow morning... missed out on ice cream at the panto, felt very good (well smug).

Lovecat · 03/01/2010 21:27

I'm starting tomorrow as our office is doing a mass weigh in (we all love our food and are all feeling lardy), so I'm going to Boots tomorrow morning to step on the scales as our home ones are shit.

I was just under 12 stone on the home shit scales before Christmas so am dreading what tomorrow will bring...

However, I bought the Atkins cookbook in the sale and so have lots of ideas to keep me going (I find breakfast the worst on Atkins when I'm working, find it hard work to cook bacon and eggs when I'm trying to get myself out the door!)

Good luck to everyone for tomorrow!

JaneS · 03/01/2010 22:50

Eek, don't know about anything else but my waist is 32 inches ... that doesn't feel great.

Am resisting going to buy a chicken kiev right now - why is it you crave the crappiest things? I don't even like chicken kiev, ugh!

WomanInTheMoon · 03/01/2010 23:16

Hello - can I join in too?

I have a mountain of weight to lose, but 2 stone by March seems a good idea..

I used WeightLossResources before Christmas and lost 9lbs - too scared to weigh myself now after many a wine & cheeseathons over the past week or two.

I'll be using WLR again - seems to work better for me as I hate counting points. I cut butter and (a lot) of bread type products.

Will weigh myself in the morning

Maleeka · 03/01/2010 23:25

Well i'm busy stuffing my face with chocs just getting rid of them before the big day tomorrow .

Stocked up on loads of cupa soups cos sainsburys had them on special offer and am ready to give my new wii fit plus some damage!

arcticwind · 03/01/2010 23:34

Please can I join you all too? I lost a stone before Christmas on W8 for life rapid programme; I need to lose 2 more stone but am struggling to get back onto it properly after a week or so of 'real' food - I am cravng pizza sooo much at the moment!!!

I am going to try and do things sensibly during the seek at work then relax a bit at the weekend. I normally weigh first thing Thursday morning; atm I am 10st 13lbs and my waist is 33ins.

BusyMummyof3 · 04/01/2010 00:29

OMG!

OK......I'm weighing in now as I might not have time tomorrow. Very depressed - not so much about how much I weigh but my measurements which I haven't properly taken in years. My boobs are enormous even though I am BF at the moment. In fact the tape measure wasn't big enough!

Right here goes...

Start weight: 11st 3lb Target Weight: 9st Current weight: 11st 3lb Weight Loss:0

Arm: 12in
Bust: 43in
Waist: 35in
Hips: 38in
Thigh: 22in

giraffesCanDanceAtHogmanay · 04/01/2010 07:00

I will try to dig out a tape measure

maleeka thats the only reason I started yesterday because I had already done that!

Ok yesterday had -

2 small glasses fresh oj
1/2 roll with quorn
2 wholemeal pita bread with cheese and beans
one twirl.

Just having breakfast now - pita bread again with banana and a cuppa

Been up all night! Got a job interview at 11 and am nervous. Its a bank holiday here today as well so likely to be crap public transport. Off meet a friend for coffee afterwards - will have a starbucks mocha as a treat for staying awake, then on to do childline shift - where I will have to try hard to avoid all the sweets!

FatGirlThin · 04/01/2010 07:17

Anyone else NOT want to weigh themselves this morning I will though, when dh finishes in shower

giraffesCanDanceAtHogmanay · 04/01/2010 07:20

I was like that yesterday but think thats the last time you will ever see the scales that heavy. I couldn't find tape measure. Have taken pics in bra and pants instead - will NOT be putting them on profile well not unless I lose tonnes of weight and then I can prove it!

runforit · 04/01/2010 07:55

Well I weigh 11 stone. My heaviest ever (to my knowledge - i'm not much of a weigher/dieter normally).

I would like to be under 10 st but not less than 9.5...i'm going to aim for 9st10 as a target and see how I look/feel - should be a comfy size 10 at that weight i think.

Start weight: 11st Target Weight: 9st 10lb Current weight: 11st Weight Loss:0

Good luck all...when I drop the first half stone I am going to treat myself to a massage or facial or haircut - got xmas money squirreled away in readiness for my flab busting success and treat

RatherBeOnThePiste · 04/01/2010 08:08

There it's out. I willbe less next week.

Kayzr · 04/01/2010 08:55

Cicatrice start weight: 13 st, target 10st. Current weight: 13 st. Total loss to date 0.

How depressing.

Murtette · 04/01/2010 09:12

Murtette; start weight - 13st 6; target weight 10st 7 (but I'd settle for 11st as at least I'll be back in pre-preg clothes then)

Arm - 12.5"
Bust - 39.5" (under bust - 34")
Waist (well, where my waist used to be) - 37"
Stomach - 44"
Hips - 46"
Thigh (each) - 28"

BMI - 32.1 (which puts me well and truly into the obese category - yuck!)

Off to bundle up LO and go for a walk.

ABitOfPizzazz · 04/01/2010 09:18

ABitOfPizzazz (Was ChunkyKitKat)

Start Weight: 12st 12 1/2lb

Target Weight: 10st 10

Total Loss: 0

Only measured waist and bust last night now can't find the tape measure.

Waist: 38in
bust: 44in

Agree with runforit, we should reward ourselves when the first 1/2 stone has gone.

Perhaps this icy weather will help us burn more calories as well.

Good luck!!

bebejones · 04/01/2010 09:24

Weighed in this morning, very depressing!

Bebejones start weight: 15st 1lb, target: 10st 7lbs (will settle for 11stone 7lbs by May). Current weight: 15st 1lb. Total loss to date: 0

Had porridge with honey & half a chopped banana. Have yet to do post Christmas big food shop so house is looking sparse of anything other than bread & biscuits!

Planning on doing some boxing training on the Wii later, am bugging DH to buy me a Wii fit...he is still saying no!
