The Ultimate Biggest Losers - counting the pennies, losing the pounds

amorge

Hi everyone, I've only just discovered this thread

So I weight FAR TOO much, I joined SW on 28th May and weighted in at a shocking 14st 13lbs!!!!!!!

So far lost 7lbs in 3 weeks.

It's mainly due to the fact on 3 June I took up running. I've never run in my life; probably because I didn't think I could. I'm really enjoying it and have even signed up for a 5km run this coming saturday (gulp!)

It takes my mind off the £21k debt I'm in I posted my SOA a week ago and have so far made a few hundred pounds selling things locally and have 11 items on eBay due to end this weekend.

Reading this back both the physical weight and debt weight are rather depressing.... I lack motivation a lot of the time, one of the reasons for joining this thread

Hello gang! I'm back on the wagon! In the last week I have lost 7lb and now weigh 160lb. Still a long way to go (first goal is 150lb) but it's going in the right direction. I've cut out sugar and carbs (I know, if we're being very picky, sugar is a carb, but it's easier to explain!) and although I don't really see much of a difference yet, I feel loads better and my appetite has decreased so I'm not even feeling hungry an hour after eating like I used to.

morning

I only discovered this thread ... I would love to join. My weight today is 15st 1lb. This is disgraceful and it is most def not good for my health. I have put 3/4 stone on in a few months due to terminal illness in the family. As main carer I never really left the house for the last 2 months before my family member died which is coming up on 4 weeks. I cannot believe that i am this weight I have to do something about it.

I do like my wine and I know that these empty calories soon pile the weight on ... also eat way too much bread. Need to get my life in order and start looking after myself.
Heading on holiday next weekend and would love to drop into the 14's before I go.
Going to just watch what I eat and cut down on bread high sugar items.

All the best to everyone.
