    I'll start 2nd Jan - should give me time to "cleanse" the house!! No way I'm posting my measurements! You'll just have to trust me!

    Does 'cleanse' mean eat all the naughty things left over from Christmas :D

    If it does, my house needs a serious cleansing :o
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

  • I'm in on this too, put on almost 2 stone through depression and will lose it all this year (hopefully!)

    I cant find my tape measure so will just have to put my weight down instead lol! I'm 11st 6pounds

    :eek::eek::eek:

    Good luck everyone!

    Lets beat the bulge!!!! :rotfl::T

    omg I have a beer belly and I don't drink beer :rotfl: :rotfl:


    I prefer to think of mine as a baby belly, rather than a beer belly. The fact that I had it long before I had the kids is neither here nor there :D:o

    I'd love to join in one this one too, I've been gradually putting on weight over the last 5 - 6 years :eek:

    So anyway I could do with losing quite a bit of weight and I'll get my measurements later (OH is using the tape measure at the moment as he's wallpapering the hallway :o )

    I'm sure it's about 2 dress sizes I want to drop to get me to a 12 which would make me very happy...

    I'll start mine next week if that's ok as my friend I haven't seen for 6 months is coming to stay this weekend and I just know there'll be takeaways and copious amounts of alcohol...:D :D:D

  • Im in. Im already a member of SW and manged to loose nearly two stone since may. But recently have been feelin blue and put on a stone of it again. So Im basically going every week to either stay the same or gain!!!! So I need some more motivation and Im sure this will really help. I've got about 6 stone to loose in all, maybe more, but Im targeting it at a stone at a time.

    So yeah, count me in!!!!

    I like the stuff, and will drink whatever is in the Jaycee.

    I wanna lose about 11lbs, had to put it on for my operation in August but it won't shift off again like they promised!

    sure does!! Eat it all up - would be V. wasteful to chuck it out, although I will give some away...maybe!
