  • Hello Everyone! :wave:

    I am keen to join you all on your weight loss journey, I have a lot to lose and I am keen to drop 2 stone in the next 8 weeks before I go on holiday, my first in over 2 years!

    I have to make 2014 the year I am going to lose weight, having failed time and time again... let's just say I am in a better place now to concentrate on weight loss / exercise etc.

    I am doing it the old fashioned way, change of diet, more exercise - so maybe finally I'll get some use out of the gym membership I signed up for last August! :whistle:

    Through comfort eating in December I have managed to put back on the weight I lost throughout October / November *sigh* :wall:

    I feel knackered most days carrying around the excess weight I am, so I need a kick up the backside to get on track. I also am going to motivate my dad into losing weight, so both of us are on a strict diet from today... he'll probably go mad at me when he notices the 'cheese' is missing from his fridge, he's a cheese junkie, but I sneaked it out yesterday and threw it in the bin - it's for his own good!!!

    I am a comfort eater, if I am down I will turn to food, and if I've had an extremely bad day I'll usually end up ordering take-away but hopefully I will turn to this thread for some support to not go down the wrong path!

    I have so many clothes I want to be able to fit in to!

    So a big hello from me and I hope to make some new friends along the way!

    DIET STARTS TODAY!

    Can I join in with the 5lb challenge please? I need to lose absolutely loads, but my initial target is going to be 13lbs, and even that seems pretty unachievable. I find it difficult to stay motivated for longer than a week or two, so I hope this thread will help.
  • well today i walked 3 miles, swam for 25 mins and meal planner was
    B - toasted bagel and marmite
    L - home made butternut squash and sweet pot soup and a roll
    D - home made cheese and veg tart and rice, yogurt

    snacks - apple, 2 plums and a satsuma.

    Hi and welcome to the thread.

    If you're walking you might want to take a look at some Leslie Sansone videos (1 and 2 mile walks are on youtube to see if you like them or not) so that you can walk indoors when the weathers bad. She also does 3, 4 and 5 mile walks - though they tend to be a little faster but again I'm fairly sure there are clips on youtube for you to get a taster.

    Apologies to everyone on the thread - i signed up a couple of months ago and have been seriously ill for the last 3 months! On the plus side, I've lost over a stone!

    I'd like to rejoin, starting weight is...12 stone 4 pounds.

    See you Wednesday

    Welcome and I hope you're feeling much better - and I wish you a slower planned weight loss now that you're back to normal.
