    Ok I'd like to join too please - though I think I find it easier to trim my budget that trim me! I need to lose 3 stone (help)! Currently 14st.4lbs. Snag is I have a back problem just now which is going to halt any exercise plans I may have had - smaller portions and healthier food then - that's it for now.
    Resolution:

  • I am low carbing as it helps my fibromyalgia pain stay away, but the added bonus is a staedy weight loss. I have lost 6lbs in 4 weeks, and am now going to add some exercise into the equation (I used to be fit but the FMS took that away from me!!). So count me in, I want to lose 2 stone in 3 months before the Rock Festival that I go to, (Very MSE, £35 for a 4 day hol with lots of bands and fun!), and my exercise will be free too, walking, and dusting off some old exercise videos that I've never had the heart to ebay!


    Hi joeblack,

    I am low-carbing too, I was just wondering how you are getting on with this in terms of cost. Have you found you can manage it ain a DFW way?

    .....I'm in a chart? Cool :D LL, when do you do these? I didn't know I was in :o and so didn't post last week's loss up here. 'Twas only a pound anyway, but better off than on etc lol

    Hi Ajax - yes, you're in the club :D! I update the chart on Wednesday evenings, but just post your weekly result whenever you get weighed, and I'll add it to the chart.

    Well if we are going for targets I would like to lose 2lbs by next monday. Don't want to say my current weight just yet but suffice to say I am nowhere near the 10st 4lbs I was the summer before I became pregnant with DS. At 5' 8" that was a bit too slim for me so happy if I can reach 11st 4lbs. Although I have kept those lime green super skinny jeans just in case :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

  • Hi, KateW here, been away a while. Good luck to everyone and hope the good weather is getting y'all out and about!
    I went to Paris for a week with my 5 year old over the Easter holidays, and came back about 4Ibs lighter! Why? everyone walks everywhere - small city. Plus, the friend we stay with is a real skinny Minnie and so the cupboards were quite bare. Anyway, came back feeling slimmer, then promptly put it on again, or most of it. So, on Saturday, began my new regime with a cycle with 5 year old, and a nice active weekend, and today went for 30 mins alternating walking-running. Managed to eat healthily today, and drink lots of water, but have drunk some red wine and pondering now whether some low-fat Greek yoghurt and those frozen forest fruit berries would be sinful? Trouble is, I get hungry - and am at a bit of loss some evenings after 5 year old has gone to bed.

    Ah, well, nice to see how you're all doing again.

    Best wishes.
