6 Months to slim into Clothes Challenge

  • Hiya, would anyone have any objections if I joined in a bit late?

    Weight this morning: 14st 3.6lbs (EEEEKKKKKKKK)

    I've got bagsful of clothes varying from size 10 to size 18 (currently a size 16).

    I eat healthy meals but unfortunately I snack constantly inbetween meals and not on healthy things either.

    My main bad habits are:
    1. Boredom eating.
    2. Being disorganised.
    3. Having an "I'll eat what I want today and start a diet tomorrow" mentality.
    4. Get bored of dieting after a few days / feel deprived / get jealous when I see people eating what they like.
    5. I get hungry quickly and easily and sometimes cant cope with that.

    I reckon 2st in 6 months should be achieveable, which should take me to a comfortable 14 and I think I will be happy there. At the moment I don't like the way I look at all BUT I don't seem to have the motivation / willpower to do anything about it?
    Start Date: 27/11/2010
    Padding: Day 42
    Target £8000
    Amount: £562.23

    Yay....I just said to my OH that feeling so uncomfy in the chest area is finally the thing I need to spur me on to lose weight again. I am getting chafed and sore on a daily basis and it is making me irritable.

    ENOUGH IS ENOUGH

    Welcome squirrelchops and Intergalactic Floozie,
    i am a bit like that too, i thikn what works for me its, if i feel hungry and want to eat something, i better go for a walk or do something else, usually is me just being bored.
    i try to plans things to do every day, cos if i am home, i over eat.
    also helps having healthy snacks

    Morning All :)

    I would love to join in.

    I`ve been going along to SW for the last couple of weeks and have lost 5lbs. I have quite alot to lose but feel I`m on the right track now.

    I`ve got a few bagsful of clothes that I have never been able to wear and it would be great to finally get into some of them!

    Have really enjoyed reading through the messages and wish everyone well on their continued weight loss.

    Welcome JustBe and well done for losing 5 lbs already.:T

    I've had a good day today, i've used 23.5/25 points allowance and been for a 20 min walk earning 1 bonus point. I may do a bit on the wii fit tonight depending on how energetic i'm feeling.
