6 Months to slim into Clothes Challenge

hollyh

Hi,

Does anyone else have clothes that they need to slim into? I have loads.:eek: Four years ago i lost a lot of weight and went down to 12 st and a size 14, i've got loads of clothes from then that were just a bit too small, i've also got 16's that i bought as the weight was creeping back on that didn't fit, probably 18's too. I've kept as these in the vain hope i'd be able to fit into them soon.:o I'm reluctant to get rid of them as a lot of them still have the tags and i could weep at the money i've wasted. I'm now a size 20 and 14st8lbs.:o

My challenge is to lose 7lbs a month for 6 months, 3st in total and to finally be able to wear these clothes. What doesn't fit me by 19th August i will get rid of.

I plan to do this following the Weight watchers points system by myself at home coupled with the Wii fit, walking, swimming and cycling.

Who's with me i doubt i'm the only one:D.

Hi Holly
what a great idea - but I wont be able to join you (you will understand why) - you have set yourself a big goal and I really do hope you make it - I will pop in and see how you are all doing.


good luck to you all
toots xx

Thanks Neveah and Toots.

Nev i'll be weighing every Friday on the Wii Fit.

toochoosey

I'll try and keep up with you girls, I weighed last night at SW....Size 12....10st 4 1/2 lb(may not sound a lot but at little over 5ft, I feel it is.......Did get down to 9st 4 which is my goal weight....maybe this will give me more motivation xx

hollyh

That's 3 of us now :j. I'm going for a walk in a bit with my Ds's before the rain starts. I'll go on the Wii fit later.

neveah

eeek today is friday so guess i better weigh as well ..im going to cut out eating between meals and try and have 2 good walks a day .cant do asnything except walking cos i suffer with joint pain which i imagine will ease off with weight loss ..back when i have weighed they will probably say one at a time lol x

neveah

oh dear it is worse than i thought ..it said i was 15 10 ..ok well at least know where i am starting from ...gulp x

hollyh

Well Nev after 6 months that should be 12 10.:j

hollyh

We didn't end up going for a walk, Ds2 wanted to go in the garden and dig for treasure instead.:cool: he loves playing in the garden. So i've spent half an hour cutting back the brambles that are coming in from the building site next door and have filled a big green bag.

neveah

hi we went for a long walk with the dog about 45 mins which was nice ...had lunch but nothing else ..good luck everyone xx
