    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts Combo Breaker I've been Money Tipped!
    I'm on liquids only diet from tomorrow til Tuesday afternoon (so approx 36 hours) so might weigh myself after the tests are done - or is that cheating? ;)
  • Hi
    Can I join please? I am planning on starting the 5:2 diet on the 2nd Jan as Oh and I look like we are wearing body suits.....
    I haven't read the whole thread yet so unsure how to post and when but would like to lose 1stone.
    We have lots of food in the freezer and cupboards so this thread is perfect. I want to eat heathy and well during 2014.

  • Would really like to join this challenge if that's ok especially as going on holiday at Easter and don't fit in my clothes! Please put me down for 1 stone

    I wish I could have some kind of goal to work towards this year, it would be nice to have a focus. Hope you enjoy your holiday!

    Please may I join in the next challenge. I have been reading this thread for some time and feel quite inspired by all your achievements. Could you put me down for 12 lbs
  • Can I come back please? I'm like Piglet, not going to weigh in until the 1st (or maybe the 2nd, depending on how bad the hangover is haha!) but can you put me down for 2 stone please? I know what I need to do, eat real food, cut back on wheat, dairy and sugar and get some exercise. Just need to apply it!

    Hope everyone had a lovely Christmas, one thing about this season is it's always easier to make a fresh start when you're sick of the sight of food!

    hi please can I join in, I usually appear over on the old style doorstep. They recommended I post on here as well as I seriously need some help. I am looking to loose at least 2 stone. Not a good sight when your just 5ft 2.


    OH has promised me a holiday in September, just the 2 of us. Infact its all booked so I have to keep to my side of the bargain and get a little trimmer. This should also help with my IBS and also my astmah too.


    Will weigh myself today on route to work, and then the real work will start.

    Hi, Can I join in please. Lost about 3 stone last year, with lots of support from the lovely people on Weight Loss thread over on 'I Wanna'.

    Have put on at least half of that back during the last few months, mainly because I got obsessed with 'dieting' and therefore obsessed with food.

    Want to try again this year, but just do it the OS way, through healthy eating, so thought this might be the place to come.

    Bit of a wake up call during a hospital visit last week. My BP had come right down when I lost the weight last year, but now back up even higher than before, so much so that they are talking medication which I am keen to avoid if possible.

    DD is getting married in April, so hopefully that will be another bit of motivation.

    My target for the next 12 weeks is to lose 15 pounds (5 pound a month)

    Oh dear, a whole year on from the last time I was here (I think, stopped and started too many times to remember) and a whole extra size to boot.

    Im not sure about my plan of action other than I cook OS and wont be changing that so its about healthy snacking and smaller portions I think. Oh look, I have a plan of action! ;)

    So I guess my evening meal will be on a side plate and Id best not snack on the cheeses. I think a tin of soup for lunch. Im not at all into calorie counting so will have to be careful with portions.

    Does any one know of an online resource that can help with portion size education? :)
