  • Okay I halfway joined in January but dropped off.

    I am currently 12.4, having dropped from 12.7 a couple of weeks ago. I'm back in my gym routine and off cheese and wine for lent.

    I would love to lose half a stone in March, I have a big event towards the end of the month and really need to get to a stage where my clothes fit. Half a stone would also leave me overweight rather than obese.

    Here's to March, I toast with my very sensible peppermint tea rather than my customary Friday night glass of wine :)

    Hey good to see you all! In March we put the clocks forward and welcome Spring, and we will all feel a lot bouncier and look forward to eating salads outdoors!

    March is the month when we all really get going on this weight loss thing - I bet if we put ours minds to it, we can lose a whole person between us :D

    I'm 5 foot 7 and I started at 12 stone 10 bmi 27.92 on 5th January now i'm 11 stone 7 bmi 25.26

    Ultimately I want to be a very slim 9 stone 12 so I have a long way to go - I've never had a 9 in my weight!!

    The heavier I was the easier the pounds were to shift, now as I get back down to a 'healthy' weight its getting harder and harder. I'm having to exercise like crazy and eat very little. My current punishment is celebrity slim

    Can I join in too please? :D

    I have been trying to lose weight since September 2007 - I am 5'6'' and then I weighed 17st 4 lb :confused: By Christmas 2008 I had lost 5 stone by healthy eating and exercise :j :j :j and dropped several dress sizes. I want to get my BMI into mid safe range so need to lose another 2 stone + I reckon.

    The trouble is - I always 'relax' at Christmas and on holiday and put on a few pounds then get straight back into losing it again - never been a problem. But I put on weight over Christmas and new year and just can't get myself going again to lose it. I need to shift 5lbs to get back to where I was before Christmas and then another 2 stone.

    I have a HUGE family do coming up in July which is my motivation - I will be seeing family I haven't seen for a few years so want to lose a good bit by then.

    I need a serious kick up the bum to get back on track :rotfl: I refuse to lose all my hard work and I love the feeling of being able to buy clothes from anywhere so I know I can do this but finding it hard at the moment.

    I think I need to dust off my exercise bike again :rolleyes:

    Good luck to everyone :T
