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?

Don't panic Disenchanted - I imagine if any of us were already possessed of a willpower of steel, we wouldn't need/want to be here!

Thanks for starting this thread, btw.

I am going to weigh in on Monday after all - reading everyone's posts has inspired me not to go mad with the cheese this weekend! (I am going to do SW extra easy - the green and red at once with only one serving of bread/cereal.)

Disenchanted3 · 02/01/2010 14:21

yey

Those of you having stir frys, do you use fresh or frozen stir fry veg ?? I prefer fresh but it never seems to last very long before it looks past it's best.

I tried asdas own frozen stir fry veg and it was disgusting.

pennyrain · 02/01/2010 15:01

I'm in ...starting monday also...2 stone by march sounds great...off to tesco to purchase low cals food stuff...do we enter our start weights this Monday??

Disenchanted3 · 02/01/2010 15:08

Yes, i think we should weigh in then add ourselves to the list in this sort of fashion

Disenchanted3, start weight : xxx, target xxx. Current weight xxx. Total loss to date xxx.

sound ok?

I am happy to post weight on Monday. I've set up my WW for weighing in on Monday. I know I am
over 15 stone so it's just how many pounds over I want to know.

Disenchanted3 · 02/01/2010 15:17

I'm around 13 stone, possibly over as have pigged out over Christmas,

I can't find my scales

OP posts:
Kayzr · 02/01/2010 15:28

Yeah I have pigged out too. But I am sick of being this size. DS2 is 1 now so I have no excuse.

Disenchanted3 · 02/01/2010 15:32

snap kayz, DD is one now so haven't got the 'ive just had a baby!' excuse (dammit)

Kayzr · 02/01/2010 15:37

You should pop and see us in the dec 08 post natal thread Dis!!!

MrsMorgan · 02/01/2010 16:20

Well my youngest is 7 so god knows what my excuse is lol.

MABS · 02/01/2010 17:00

my youngest is 9!!

shandyleer · 02/01/2010 17:17

Hello ladies, please can I join in? I'm 5' 4 (and a half)" and approx 11 stone - I'll weigh on Monday which is when I plan to start. I lost about a stone with ww from about June to November, but I've managed to put at least that much back on if not more. I'm going to give Zoe Harcombe a go and see how I get on.

chickenrice · 02/01/2010 17:43

Hi all

Please may I join too? Happy to start on Monday. I'm 2 and a half stone heavier since having DS.

Thought I'd lose that bulging belly after DS hit 6 months but that never happened. To be honest, I've not done any post-natal exercise yet. Just been eating as much chocolate and cake as I did when I was pregnant.

Hopefully with everyone's support we'll shed the pounds by April.

HomeintheSun · 02/01/2010 18:07

Count me in to, I had a baby 8 weeks ago so will be going for the gentle excercise and healthy food option as I'm breast feeding, I don't want DD going on a diet too.
I don't own any scales so will have to use my friends and I'll weigh on Monday, I don't know how much I want to lose as I don't know what I weigh at the moment.

aluvss · 02/01/2010 18:10

I would like to join.

Would ideally like to lose 4Stones, but I know this is impossible so I will try to lose 2 stone same as you OP by March.

Will start from Monday when back at work.

Good luck everyone.

Disenchanted3 · 02/01/2010 19:06

Disenchanted3 · 02/01/2010 19:15

Eddas · 02/01/2010 19:19

aw dis don't give yourself such a hard time, you started a weightloss thread so you knew you were overweight and want to do something about it, that's the important thing I'm horrified too when I look at the scales but am determind to sort it out.

Have a {{{{{{{{{{{{{hug}}}}}}}}}}} and don't worry i'm hoping this thread will help us all acheive our goal

Disenchanted3 · 02/01/2010 19:21

Thanks I just thought I was around a certain weight and Im alot more

Bloody Christmas

OP posts:
Eddas · 02/01/2010 19:24

what are you?

You won't be there forever, monday is the start of us all getting slimmer. By this time next week you'll be lighter

{{{{hugs}}}} again

Disenchanted3 · 02/01/2010 19:27

i DON'T EVEN WANT TO TYPE IT!!

Well, before Xmas I was 12st 10

I'm now 13st 10

I was expecting to be about 13 after xmas.

Fuck,

DH has just said he will help me loads, he is going to do that 5k run training with me and said we will go cycling when the 2 oldr ones are in school.

well at least its out there now.

Mind you when I weighed myself on these scales a few months back thhey said 13stone, I went to the GP and they said I was 12st 4!!

I might go to the GPs monday (need to go over a few things) and check my weight.

I went shopping today, trying to find a nice coat and maybe something for tomorrow(my sis's bday so going for lunch, I always feel like I look awful) I couldn't find any coat that ddn't look like a sack on me, my bum is huge dd keeps telling me it's big too cheeky mare, but she's right. I also spent the last few days moving things round in dc's rooms and had trouble fitting in little gaps and leaving enough room for me and my butt to fit through the doorway whilst carrying something At least i'm smiling about it, but seriously if when I lose weight I really hope my arse shrinks as I won't be too impressed
