  • :beer: I have jsut found this lose weight thread, I am new to this website..well, I have only been looking at the competitions threads up till now.

    I have registered with a trully brilliant website at
    www.sparkpeople.com

    It's HUGE,,loads to help and inspire..you really get caught up in it. It's American b ut aother than getting wieghed in lbs most is much the same..but the reason I mention it is because it's FREE.

    I am really enjoying it and sticking to my diet really well using it.
    You always think you are doign well..sharing things, especially in competitions, helping others to find and enter them,...but there is always someone selfish and back biting who will object.
    Oh well..and i thought this place was different...but it isn't. Shame on you...whoever it was...
  • This seems a well established 'diet circle'....may I join you.or am I too late!! I have 100 lbs to lose:eek: !! So, you can guess I am desperate.:o

    Hi G2J :wave: and welcome to our thread. It's certainly not too late to join and to make you feel at home there is already someone here who has lost more than you need to so don't feel daunted by the task, look on it as a challenge and refuse to accept defeat :D. There are a variety of plans being followed here, some folk attend classes and some do it on their own but the support is always available so whenever you hit a sticky patch just come here.

    Thanks for that link you gave it really does seem an excellent site :T .

    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!!!!!!!

    :hello:Hi everyone welcome to all the newbies. I've been bad today. I have been counting my calories still and am still within my allowance but I haven't spent them wisely, so far I've had a packet of crisps, a bar of chocolate and a cake as well as proper food:eek:. I'm going to have something sensible for my tea, I've got about 500 cals left. Then I'm gonna tape my mouth shut so I can't shovel anything else into it.
    Petrichor please don't feel like that about your posts. I love all the chatty, funny posts on here. Everybodys really friendly.
    Beanielou have a good holiday.
    Gonna do some exercises later, well thats the plan anyway. Bye for now.

    Hi Misty

    I usually have something rubbishy at the weekends too so don't worry, I find it helps in that you're still eating 'normally' and like you I shall have a packet of crisps and a cornetto today as it's all within my calorie allowance :j :j If you deprive yourself of all the things that you like you'll only start to crave them and then eat a lot more than you should :o and as you have 500 cals left today you can still have a decent healthy evening meal :j I've thought about exercise today but that's as far as it got, I'm having a slovenly day :rotfl:
