  • Wow- Anna, that's amazing! I bet people that haven't seen you in ages don't recognise you!

    So far I've lost 8lb in 5 weeks! I've still got a fair bit to go though.

    calling all WW'ers.....

    I'm starting back tracking points from tomorrow!!!!!

    I want to lose a smuch as possible before xmas - I'm off to Oz to see my family and would like to look a feel healthier.

    all in all I need to lose 40lbs... I know I'll never do that in such a short amount of time - but would like to at least make a good dent in it.

    Anyone out there think they could help me stay motivated and kick me up the butt when I need it?

    PM me of you want the job :)

    thanks
  • Just found this thread and I was hoping to find others in the same situation as me. I have a huge amunt to lose and can't afford to go to meetings. I lack willpower:rolleyes: Just wondering if any others are doing Weightwatchers as this thread doesn't seem very busy at all:confused: Fingers crossed a few of you see this, I was thinking it would be nice to resurrect this thread as the Slimming World one looks very supportive

    Hi Millymoo,

    I'm not sure anyone uses this thread to be honest?

    I put the call out a little while ago for a diet buddy but haven't had any replies - and ur the first post since....

    Maybe we could support each other and see if anyone else wants to join in??

  • Hi hun!

    I would love to be your diet buddy:j

    I'm surprised so few are doing WeightWatchers to be honest:confused:
    Anyway I am restarting (yet again) tomorrow. How are you getting on?

    My main problem is not organising myself and not writing down what I am eating I think. I'm hoping to lose 2 stone for Christmas, as I have a lot to go I think it should be possible, as long as I can get focused:o

    Hi, I have not posted for a while on this thread... but just to let you know I started WW in the middle of May this year. I have now lost 2 stone and I am only half a pound from my goal weight. I have gone from a size 18 to a size 12! I am very happy with myself and love all the comments I am getting. The whole shape of my body has changed. Keep going and pointing everyone!
  • Aw fantastic:j

    Welldone! Can I have some of your willpower too please;)
