    Im weighing in at 271lbs (19st 5lb, feeling very ashamed) this is back to my top weight after loosing before christmas. Aiming for a pound a week so doubt I will ever get the biggest loser honour but thats fine, just want to see the lbs go down as the £s go up!

    Well weighed in this morning at 229lbs (gulp!) hoping to lose 79lbs eventually but will try for 9lbs by the end of January, still a bit wobbly from the dreaded cold (christmas gift from son) so will pace myself with sensible eating plan and some walking or swimming before i hit the 30 day shred.

  • Number 49, today's weight 164.25lbs (11stone 10.25lbs).

    First goal is to get below 11 stone but know I have at least 30lbs to lose.

    Not done much exercise so far today but hope to do some when the kids are in bed.

    Have had a sore throat and felt shattered all day today so no exercise done, however I have ate pretty sensibly.

    What diet is everyone following? I'm doing The Skinny Rules as found it really suited me last time, I just need to stick to it.

    Hi Dinah & everyone :wave:

    Am I too late to join?! Been here before & I think it went pretty well - though I am now about a stone heavier than my previous starting weight...

    I weighed in at the gym today at 164lbs so I would like to lose 34lbs to reach my first target. I really need to take measurements too as I know my weight doesn't change much if I'm doing a lot of strength training.

    I might get back on the 30 day shred wagon too - love Jillian! And I totally agree with Cinny, let's all try not to beat ourselves up too much along the way. The best piece of advice I came across recently was work out because you love your body, not because you hate it.

    Good luck, chaps!

    I love that quote Poddle! I did my measurements too which I have never really done before so will be interested to see the results.

    Fmess - I am following Slimming World principles (as well as I can remember them at least). Counting calories always makes me feel deprived psychologically and I'm too lazy to get to grips with anything else!

    Although I have just stunned myself by going out for a run - and actually running virtually the whole way. I don't even know who I am anymore! :rotfl:
