Hi. Can I join this please? I'm 61 years of age and morbidly obese. :eek::eek::eek:
would like to go for 14lbs at least. Am going away for the first time in more than 3 years at end of May and Must lose weight before then - I'm also worried whether they will let me on plane if I don't.

Hi Guys!

Well approx this time last year after spending about 8 months with you guys i got down to 9st 10lbs- well i aint 9st 10 anymore.........................I weighed myself on Sunday and im 11st 5lbs:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

I just dont know when it happened I knew i had put a couple of pounds on here and there but im v fed up with myself that i have let things get so out of control. On top of that horror i now have very few clothes that actually fit me

Im back at work Thursday so my plan is to eat as well as I can for the rest of this week and start 'properly' on Monday when Ive had time/chance to plan meals etc. Also im going to start the 30 Shred again but probably not every day as I work full time and do an evening course which i go to once a week but also have approx 4 hours homework to do every week. May aim to 30 day shred 3 times a week as I think that is realistic

Happy New Years everyone - im off out for a curry!!! Final supper you could say :rotfl:

Hmm not cheating but remember the challenge starts at the weekend!

Sorry to be Tail End Charlie but now I know how much I weigh after my fast can I ask you to put me down for 6lb please KW? At least I think that's right, still very woozy from today's (yesterday's) procedure and slept all evening so should be with it but...I'm quite sure it's not 6 stone

I didn't lose as much as I thought I would, only 1lb, I swear it should be more considering all the 'bits' they removed! But it's 1lb down, not up, so am thankful for small mercies. Although I couldn't eat anything I just don't know how peeps can do the 5:2 diet, I even had to hide the fruit bowl in a cupboard. I'd dread those 2 fast days approaching and lose the will to do it! I have no will-power at all...

Happy New Year to everyone, huge thanks to KW (and the girls ) for keeping us and all our efforts accounted for

Sweet dreams

Happy New Year
Big lovely meal with friends tonight, but only 2 glasses of bubbles...
Back at work on the 2nd and also taking it as a fast day, hopefully I will be so busy I don't notice not eating ( who am I kidding)

Happy new year everyone, can I join you all please? Have tried slimming world and the south beach in the past and while they work at the time, the weight goes back on as soon as I revert to "normal" eating.

OH and I have decided changing our lifestyle, healthy eating, smaller portions and more exercise are the way to go. Oh yes, and cut back on the wine consumption

Can I please join the challenge, I'll be aiming for 14 lbs. We will be away (our first holiday in about 4 years) at the end of February so I'm aiming for as much as possible by then.

Today will be a write off (hangover induced carb cravings ) but will ease into it tomorrow.

Slight problem in my weight loss - scales broke 2 days ago. Can I tick along with you but recording measurements as opposed to weighing myself. New scales are at the bottom of the need list.

A good start with 1 slice toast with 1 poached egg.

Making HM veg soup for lunch with pork and veg for evening meal but that will be on a side plate and I won't have a Yorkshire pud.

Happy New Year!

I found it very helpful taking a few photos of myself in underwear. I did it once a month. It's amazing what a real boost can do to you, when you see results.

Oh me too! Just did a blood test and it's reading Tequila!!:rotfl:

I am a fan of walking for exercise, but like a podcast to help motivate. Havent listened to any of this yet but thought you might be interested.

Happy new year to everyone.

Well the good news is that I weighed myself this morning and have still lost 6lbs of the stone I lost before October. The bad news is that 8lbs that seem to have returned :eek: but... it could have been so much worse. Think positive... think positive...

I also wore my pedometer yesterday just to see what kind of steppage I was doing having not worn it in a while. I managed comfortably over 4000 steps which included a trip round the shops so I think a week #1 goal of 5 x 4000 steps will be a sensible place to start.

The prepping threads have got me thinking. The people we would need to be able to get to in a crisis if roads were blocked or fuel unavailable are my elderly parents who live 11-12 miles away. I know there is no way I could walk that kind of distance any more, although it would have been easy in my backpacking days. I think I am growing a longer term (maybe two year?) goal of being able to walk that sort of distance again.
