Hello! Can I join in please!??! I am on a serious diet this year.. I have got about 4 1/2 stone ish to loose by December time..

How is everyone doing it?? Since starting I have lost 4lbs (2 weeks ago) YAY!! xx

Well done Blue Eyed Girl that's brilliant! We only have massive plates at home, so perhaps I need to change that. Thinking about it, I do always fill the plate with food, so the smaller plate idea may help me quite a bit.

And well done to everyone else who is dropping the pounds, I hope to be joining you soon!

I'm going to look into joining the gym, either that or renting a treadmill for a couple of months. My DH needs to lose a lot more weight than me and he's quite keen on exercising at home rather than in front of people, so having some equipment at home might be a good idea.

I'll be weighing myself tomorrow and working out exactly what I've got to lose. I haven't stepped on any scales for 6 months, so I'm hoping it won't be too unpleasant a shock!!

thanks tracey and apocasaver for your comments - hope the plate idea works for you both too

susan - i'm doing 'SPC4' - so I see what u mean :rotfl:

Still got this lousy cold and I am due at the gym tonight for the big weigh-in! Have tried to keep busy this morning catching up with chores and tidying away all the xmas stuff. Carried hoover upstairs and was totally out of puff before I had even switched it on :rotfl: Things don't look too promising for the treadmill later!

Might have to have a lie down before I go to gym and be well medicated to get me through the session.

Just had some toast and 'dry-fried' egg with a smidge of ketchup and some fresh fruit salad - doesn't sound too bad - does it?

Will update you all later.

Byee :wave:

Scrap that - I never weighed myself after Christmas.

I'm 16 stone = BMI of 31.2

Did over an hour of walking on the treadmill this morning!

Okay! Can I join?

15.5 stones 5ft 11 = BMI of 30.3.

Want to be 12.5 stones = BMI of 24.4.

So want to lose 3 stones or 42 pounds.

Last time I was that size.. or 12 stone actually was March 2006. Just before I met my husband!! And I'd say 90% of that was down to lots and lots of walking!

Dont know if anyones interested but Weight Watchers frozen ready meals are 71p in Morrisons and the frozen desserts are 68p!!!
Gutted I bought some in Tesco yesterday at £1 but I bought a few more today! Offer on until the 18th! I only eat chicken but can recommend the chicken hotpot as its lovely and only about 300 calories I think! Nice with a bit of broccilli! Also can recommend the Caramel Crunch frozen pud! Yum very nice! Although a lot of WW stuff filling the shelves in £land biscuits and crisps etc!
