    Hi All :hello:


    omgfv5.gifomgfv5.gif

    Oh! what confusion, it doesn't take much to send me into a state of panic but calmness has now descended and....

    .... I would like to give a huge welcomemn9.gifto all the lovely new folk from DFW. I can understand that some of you don't want to join an existing thread, but we are a friendly bunch all trying to get to the same goal. When I joined LW in January I was glad of the advice that was readily given by the existing members, so I hope that you stay with us and share your problems and successes with us.

    We should all remember that these forums are by courtesy of our Lord:money: and do not generate him any income , so we can't really expect him to let us have a multitude of similar threads :D

    So by way of introduction I am one of the saner members of LW, and doing quite nicely. I've lost 23lbs so far with another 12 to go, and instead of paying to attend classes I've put £5 into a pot (see sig) each time I've weighed in, so that I can spend it on a clothing treat when I reach my goal which I may review depending how I look when I get there;) I don't want to sell myself short (:confused: if you know what I mean)

    xxxx
    I wish that I could be the oldest AND wisest....sadly it's not the latter :p but my time will come _party_ wooooh hoooh! Beware!!!!!!!

    We have been merged again?:confused: uhm....

    Lost 3 lb again this week and just realised that the 44 lb weight loss the doc ordered back Jan 4th and said would not finish until at least May 31st has been achieved one month early:j :j

    BMI still the same, strangely enough waist also the same:eek: (thinner arms I guess!!) 7 lb still to go to allow for lea-way:D

    :T :T Well done Victory (again:p ):T :T must admit that the BMI being the same is :confused: never mind it's the scales and measurements that count.

    Home bargains are selling 2 litre bottles of still perfectly clear water in strawberry flavour. Great for topping up your water intake or for having for a change to plain water.;)
  • oooh we have been merged! :confused:

    hello all non-DFW weightloss wannabees! :beer: (imagine thats a pint of low calorie beer ;) )

    PAP and SkintCatt - give it a go on the bigger thread it might be fun!

    It is all a bit confusing though :o . Could some of the 'I wanna..' gang fill us DFWs in on your challenges/targets/systems/rules and the like?!!?!

    We have a weekly chart that gets updated on a wednesday... I get weighed on a tuesday, post it in the thread and Lois does the chart weekly...we have a 5 lb weight loss challenge that has been running for 2 weeks and it is also put on the chart....

    You can say as little or as much as you like about your weight loss, put it in your sig if you want to, the weight loss so far and what is to go, if you want to...

    Hello to all who have merged

    Took me ages to read but hi to all. Have tried to be good this week but I don't feel as tho I'm getting anywhere now.

    Consultant I have about 7lb to go to get to my target, Do I need to cut out ( or reduce) my syns???:o I currently use up to 10 a day, sometimes quite a few less but my weight loss seems to have stopped, or slowed considerably. :mad: Is that normal???

    Didnt get to car boot on sunday either as my sciatica decided to play up... This means I've had to cut down my exercise this week too which I know wont help.

    Oh well will go and make a SW curry for us all for tea and lockup little fridge or I will end up eating kids quality street...:o

    oh dear - this week i've gained 2lbs

    i'm not really surprised about that though, at the start of last week I "couldn't be bothered" dieting and ended up eating a stupid quanity of food.

    Anyway... i'm all fired up again and sticking to the plan again now, so this time next week I should be able to report a good result to you all xanimated.gif

    Hi Puddings
    We all have bummers of days, aren't they :mad: Anyway at least you're back on track so better luck next week. I love the shrinking 'puddings' smiley, did you do it yourself, and if so what software do you use, please?
