  • I have work tomorrow and am not looking forward to getting up at that time. Especially as it's forecast snow. Hopefully the weigh in won't be too shocking at that time in the morning :rotfl:

    How old is DD if you don't mind me asking?

    She is six and loves a good walk. Unfortunately she does not walk fast enough for me so I would love to get her on her bike to speed things up. However, she will not ride it without the blinkin stabilisers!! Problems, problems...........:rolleyes:
  • Hellooo I'd like to join if you'll have me!! :D

    Hello all!!!

    I measured myself tonight, no change in the inches!! I will post my starting stats for Feb and see how I get on:

    Bust - 34.5 inches
    Arms - 10.5 inches
    Waist - 29.25 inches
    Hips - 40 inches :eek:
    Thighs - 23 inches

    I haven't exercised today at all and have had the munchies (hangover), so feeling a bit down. How do I get my motivation back??? :confused: I really want to lose weight and not be angry at myself come summer for wasting so much time.

    Right, I'm off to do 40 lunges so at least I'll have done something today.

    LazyDaisy - from the other thread, yes, those are the scales. I am tempted by the digital ones for the reasons you mention (especially the accuracy), but have heard terrible things about them e.g. short battery life, frequent breakdowns etc. So I will have to make up my mind! MSE has me so frugal that I can hardly bear to spend £16 on a set of scales!!! :rotfl:

    p.s. really well done to those who lost weight (Dragon, I told you it was the carrots! :D ).

    Morning all!

    I've weighed in at 13.5, I've lost a bit already too--2.5 lbs in the last week, so I hope I can keep it up!

    Just been for a 2 mile walk over the fields, and eaten grilled bacon and eggs, so halfway to my day's exercise target.

    I hope everyone is OK.
