    Hi everyone :D

    Can I join you all on your weight loss quest, please?

    I'd love to lose 14lb in the 12 week challenge, and will be cutting right down on junk food, bulking meals out with veggies and aiming to do LOTS more walking :)

    Welcome to you as well onthecatbus :D

    Joined Frogga's original weight loss thread in 07 and still weigh the same as I did then!

    Not going to join the challenge, will just try to post daily what I have eaten the day before, starting on Monday as there is so much Christmas food still here...hoping that I shame myself into staying away from carp.

    Good luck to all challengers!

    Hi all,

    Could I please join in? I always follow this thread but have never posted - hoping that posting will keep me on track!

    Need2bthrifty - I felt exactly the same from the 27th onwards, only started to feel normal again on New Year's Day. Horrible, but at least there are no extra Christmas pounds to deal with!

    I will aim to lose 10 pounds

    Good luck everyone!

    Hello I would love to join. To give you all some back ground, I have always been normal/touch overweight - I am 5'10 so actually can weigh a fair amount. I tried every fad diet etc going and yo-yo'd for years.
    I;ve had 3 children and at my heaviest was 17 stone when pregnant and 16 afterwards. I sat at 14 stone for a long time. I finally broke that about 15 months ago - exercise and healthy eating. In the last six months I've got down to a normal BMI and even the trousers I bought in September are big.
    I really need help to keep going and I'd like to shift another stone and then I would be as light as I was 18 years ago! I think another half stone would be realistic though as it wants to stick now!
    I have found christmas really hard and slipped up and put on 2lbs. The trouble for me is work - with daily cakes and treats and lots of young people who can eat whatever they want!
