DFW WW Challenge New Thread

debtfreesomeday

Good morning all - would it be ok if I joined in too? I have done ww in the past but can't justify spending the money to go to meetings or online whilst I am trying to pay my debts off. I have been doing it myself at home for 3 weeks now and managed to lose 8lbs so far - hopefully this challenge might help me to stay motivated!
My starting weight was a shocking 16 stone :eek:
I'm now 15.6
Goal is to lose 50lbs which should take me to 12.4. Feeling reasonably positive so far! xx

I have 5 stones to loose and I have even more of a reason now as my lovely boyfriend has agreed to dress up with me as Sandy and Johnny for my 30th birthday party next year so I need to be a LOT slimmer for that costume!!! :dance:

I will update the first post in the morning as I am falling asleep as I type... still on the mend after my chest surgery - at least I am not at work tomorrow...

Thanks for this new thread.
Been off work today and so far been good.
Even managed to do Davina's work out dvd at lunchtime so that should help!
Just hope I can stay good for the rest of the week!
Good luck to us all :j

Hi there- Can I join please? current weight is 12 stones (168 lb) and I want to get down to 10 stones (140lb) fingers crossed!! More than that I want to lose approx 2 lbs a week and aim to be 11 stones 7lb by Monday 23rd (a little more than 2lbs a week I know)!! Also, if I put the money I spend on over eating/ purchasing the wrong type (expensive and negative nutrition!!) of food towards paying off the family debt of 7and a half K- I could be buying more shoes and bags and some smaller clothes for my (hopefully trim) body in no time!!

Now that's motivation!!

Love your motivation Sheba

I was wondering.... as I have loads of WW recipes and I am sure other people have some good WW recipes too, should we start a thread to run alongside this one where we just list recipes that we want to share? Just it would be easier to find meal ideas without trailing through the other bits? Can you let me know your thoughts on that one?
