    Hi!
    I too want to lose 7-10lbs in the next few months.
    So put me down for half a stone and we'll see how I go.
    I'm a seasoned SW dieter and know what I'm supposed to so - just need to do it now. I've started swimming again since Xmas and am doing the first big shop since December started tomorrow so will start afresh then.
    I also have a dog that I walk 3 times a day so exercise shouldn't be a problem - its the scoffing that is!

    Good luck to everyone!

    oh yeah please can I be added to the spreadsheet. That would be great.
    My diet proper starts on Monday when oh goes back to work and life goes back to normal a bit more.

    Hoping to get my bmi down a bit so we can go for ivf again in May

  • Thanks for doing this Lou!
    I need to lose a significant amount of weight, so no targets for me but aim is slow and steady progress. I'm crap at dieting so will most likely need a boot up the backside frequently.
    At the moment am cutting down on alcohol and aiming to do an exercise DVD 4 times a week as a start.

    Hi, yes I'd like to join. I lost over a stone early last year, with WW but I can't justify the expense, I think that I have put it all back on (and maybe more):rolleyes:
    I would like to lose 28lbs in 15 weeks as I have a wedding to go to in April and have a dress that I would like to wear!
    Good luck everyone:T

  • Good point Jumps, I have a wedding a March and another in July, plus of course a mate's birthday party in Feb....... hmmmmm.

    maybe a week food diarying isn't such a good idea.
    Nevertheless she persisted.

    Blummin Heck, what a response:T

    I have added those to the SS that have asked :beer:

    Good luck everyone, I am sure this will become a great centre for support in our moments of [STRIKE]greed[/STRIKE] need:D
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    Lou, can you add me please chick. Lets start with 2 stone for now :o
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:
