    Can I join too please - I'd like to loose about 3 - 4 stone (probably more). My ex wasn't the nicest of people so I gained weight with that and I haven't had the best of few years so I tended to put weight on for last few years. Doesn't help that we have to bring cakes into work every birthday and holiday so when there's 20+ there this soon mounts up.

    We had chocolates most days in the 2 weeks before Christmas :eek: so that really didn't help. New job and relocating soon so I want to try and be slimmer before I have to give sizes for uniform!
  • I'll join in too, although there's no way on earth I'm posting my stats, size or weight! lol

    I've given myself a challenge to lose 4 stones in 2008, so I will just post my weight loss, if that's ok?

    So thats where the weight has come from! I knew I hadn't eaten that many chocolates/pies/sweeties/cake/biscuits/mints, it must be because YOU did ;)

    I'm just grateful I havent put on loads and loads, 2kgs is about a fortnight of hard work to get rid of, and my DH bought me a crosstrainer for crimbo so hopefully that will help.

  • I cannot bear to get the tape measure out but well done, those of you who are. I know that 10 stone suits me so that'll be a good goal for me.

    Not too bad a day today- I worked and went shopping. I went for a run this evening and did press-ups when I got back (great for the boobs). I've got my 2nd glass of wine on the go though- ooops. On the plus side I haven't eaten any Quality Street today...

  • Hello there :D

    Have just read all of this thread and would def like to sign up if okay?

    I have a ridiculous amount of weight to lose.....and as my son is 3 i definitely cant blame it on him! I would like to lose at least 5 1/2 stone, which would take me down to normal BMI/ weight etc.:A

    Ive been very overweight since my teens when i started my descent into depression, and even though i can manage my emotions now, i havent got a grip on the food situation. :mad:

    Ive just bought the rebecca wheatley dvd (paid for with a christmas voucher so it didnt feel like my money!) which has a work out and info re slimming world. Having tried to follow SW in the past i have all the books etc so im going to throw myself into it on january 1st and see how i go! Im also going to rope in the husband as he is looking extremely rotund these days and he is naturally slim!:eek:

    Sorry to ramble on, i obviously needed to get that off my chest! :o
    Back and ready to save some money! :D
  • Hi there

    I have been lurking for a while and I am new to all of this, so please could I join in the "fun"?

    I don't have my tape measure with me right now, but will find it and give you my stats! I need to lose about 3 stone. I put on the weight due to my 2nd baby - now 4!! and lots of wine and lager - OMG!!!

    Well, if you're anything like me, I've gained around a stone in a week - how the heck is that possible :confused: :eek:
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:
