Looking forward to getting to know you and giving and receiving motivation.

ok so my motivation is wavering already, found out today that my gym buddy is pregnant and plans to cancel their membership - i really struggle to go on my own.
and also I think Im getting flu - so craving stodge - not good for the 1/1/12!

take it easy since ur poorly, look back at ur motivation alex! i think if u convince urself to go to the gym for the first few times on ur own, it wont seem so bad and will then start to feel ok and more like habit

Hope you're feeling better soon Alex. I've had a greedy day today with big family get together but am planning on reining it in now and keeping off the vino which only gives me the munchies!

Goal Weight:165
Mini Goals: Lose 2 stone for Easter
Motivation: to be a healthy mummy and role model for my son
Strong Points:Not so sure really

Wii Fit/Kindle:Only got my Kindle for xmas and already finished 6 books just cant put it down. I do have a Wii fit which is gathering dust underneath the tv stand at the moment lol. I will be dusting it off asap though as my new years resolution is too work out 3 times a week its only baby steps but that way it won't be so easy to fail.
Looking forward to getting to know every one.

Age: 21
Current Weight: 261lb
Goal Weight: 140lb (may be lowered when near)
Mini Goals: Lose 28lb in January
Motivation: Be a healthy weight for the first time and stop my weight from hindering my future career.
Strong Points: Been good so far!
Weaknesses: Uni might be, and forgetting to eat.
Wii Fit/Kindle: Wii fit at home in Cheshire but I'm currently living in Swansea. No Kindle but lots of books (sadly mostly uni related).

Currently doing Slim and Save. Done Slimming World before but just lost it in my head. Chose to do S&S because I need to re-set my relationship with food and I know the only way I can do that is to take it out the equation for a while. My weigh day is Wednesday which I hope is ok. Did a sneaky weigh this morning and so far lost a whopping 10.5lb since I started on Wednesday.

Joined a local gym that opens on the 5th and hoping to start doing some weight training to go along with my slimming.

Hi

Please can I join too?!!

I have been on the wagon since last wednesday.. am doing a VLCD by myself.
It needs to be done as I have started at a whopping 189lbs and would like to be 130

I have a Wii and am going to be treating myself to a Kindle at the end of the month as a treat to myself!

How is everyone else doing?

I am doing sooooo crappy!! Really, really need to get my arse into gear and am contemplating a quick start with exante - have some shakes left from a previous failed attempt. Just need to stop thinking about food constantly and perhaps to lose half a stone quickly will encourage me to stick to a healthy slimming world plan.
Having a blood test tomorrow for my thyroid as am sure my meds are off which makes me feel really low and dr has signed me off with work related stress so not the best start to a new year. If I can get myself healthier then I know I will cope better.
Sorry for the moan but am gonna get there eventually xxx

keep pushing yourself and you will do great !! try not to be so down on yourself and try and focus on the positives, it sometimes helps me to list a few and keep it in my bag for when im down !!
best of luck to you !!
