    Do you use wii fit? what exercises do you do?

    I did the body test and it says my body is 42 years old (I'm 47 so not bad for a fattie) but I think I just had to balance for a bit. I'd had a glass or 3 of wine so my balance may not be as good when I'm not under the influence

    i like the Wii Just Dance, works up a sweat for me :D

    i'll join in again, however im going on hols from the 6th to the 17th so really trying to maintain this month rather than lose
    Hi. I'd like to join too for some inspiration from you guys.
    Need to do an up-to-date weigh-in and will post the figures later.
    Did a 7 day detox last month and lost lbs, so would like to do one again, but need to get all the ingredients in when I can get organised (and have the finances! Why is dieting so expensive when I actually get to eat less :mad:)?

    got the three of you - just off to check the rest of the thread :D

    And then it had the blooming cheek to "tubby up" my little profile picture.
    I assume once I start losing the little picture will slim down

    Oh Mrs M I do hate the way that Wii Fit makes my character fat when I weigh in :(

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:Me too - and mrs mum I'm happy to report that when you lose weight it does slim down :D. It doesn't make such a funny noise when you go from being obese to 'just' being overweight either :o
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Count me in again! I'm going to weigh myself Friday morning. See how much weight I lost. I joined mid month last time and lost 3lbs. So hopefully it's stayed off and more has come off. Even though it doesn't feel like I've done much, when in fact I've made a good start by not snacking all the time lol

    Got you Sharon

    Can I join please? Starting weight 12st 8lbs. Had lost over 3st at SW but managed to put 7lbs back on in 6 weeks - holiday & birthday celebrations _pale_. 5 weigh-ins in Oct, so 7lbs is doable.

    Bring it on!

    or should I say..........

    Get 'em off!!!!!!!! ;)

    Course you can join (and I didn't realise it was a 5 week month :eek:)

    Hello - can I join please
    I weighed myself today and I am 13 stone 13lbs - I would like to be 13 stone 7lbs by the end of the month - that's 6 lbs altogether this month

    I would like to lose around 2 stone by March when we go to South Africa for a month

    My main vices are bread (garlic, garlic with cheese etc..) and wine (red, lots of it)

    I have a wii fit thing and got on it at the weekend - "hello it's been 541 days since your last visit, have you been busy?
    You've put on 1 stone 8 lb"

    And then it had the blooming cheek to "tubby up" my little profile picture.
    I assume once I start losing the little picture will slim down

    Mrs M

    Got you mrs mum and :eek: to the Wii Fit! makes me glad I don't have one (especially as it would start gasping as soon as I got near it :rotfl:)

  • Starting weight for October 169lb. Just off to update the September thread...
    Don't worry about typing out my username - Call me COMP
    (Unless you know my real name - in which case, feel free to use that just to confuse people!)

  • Word of warning tho.............. the first four days have the Potage of celery and parsley for lunch (ie. Water release soup) which by day 4 you will be thoroughly sick of eating - but at least that way you will only have small portions. :rotfl:

    Enough to put anyone off :eek:
  • oh er. I was chatting to my self on the September thread then:doh:

    I wondered where everyone else was. There was I just about to have a final push for September. My starting weight had better be 148.5lb . That's todays and it will bring me closer in line to when everyone else weighs in. Not quite 7lb for September then. :cool:

    Still it's a new day and a very lovely one at thatjust right for [STRIKE]sunbathing[/STRIKE] going for a nice walk;) I hope to do better this month but I seem to start well and then get distracted, feel free to nag me.
    Enough money to live on so retired early...planning to see where life takes me:D
