Thread: 18 stone plus...

Hi folks,

As you can see from the title I have a lot of weight to loose.

I have been so downhearted about my weight that I have considered weightloss surgery but after much research and speaking with my GP I realise that it may take months in which time could have lost this bulk

I want to get back to my happiest weight of 9.5 stone. I have had a lot of success with SW and kept it off for many years until I had my 2nd and 3rd babies and who are 1 and 2; and then I just could shift it and keep the momentum going.

This year alone I have joined SW, then WW, then SW. I have lost 3 stone, gained it all back, lost 2 stone and gained it all back...

I can't take this anymore. I am rejoining WW again tomorrow in the hope that I can stick this out and loose this weight in a year. I can loose weight well if I just keep my head in the game!

Is there anyone who wants to buddy with me. We can exchange numbers if you like and check in daily.

Hi hun I'm starting ww Wednesday I'm 20 st summit and just keep putting it on ( I also have tried ww then sw then ww have 3 kids 2,7 & 10 and work funny hrs do doing ww as it fits into family life x

Hey you!

Its so hard isn't it? We can see what is happening but yet the food still seems so tempting and makes me feel so good (in that moment that I am eating it)!

I love that I can eat loads of food on SW but I have decided that I need to stop doing that. I can't keep eating for the sake of it, I need to beat this once and for all.

I am actually thinking about posting some YouTube videos to chronicle my success (I AM GOING TO DO THIS).

My name is Alex by the way. W can do this together! xx

I'm Becky and its true if I feel rubbish I eat if I feel good I eat its so hard! I can eat till I literally feel sick! And I'm the same with sw I eat to much that's why ww is better! We can do this!! X

Becky, I am not sure of we can send each other private messages or not.

Do you have a time that you'd like to to reach your goal?

I tried to send a private message it said permission denied not sure why anyway My son starts high school in september id like to loose 4 stone by then id look a bit better what about ?

I think we need to have a few more posts under our belts.

I think that is totally doable Becky. I would really like to loose 4 stone by the summer; I am not sure how realistic that is but I am going to give it a go. Then if I can lose the rest in the run up to Christmas and over New Year than that would be ideal.

Yeah think that might be it I think its do able to just don't want set myself up for failure cus I aim to high how are you doing it are u going to class? X

I think this is the first mistake we make. I have been sitting here thinking the same thing on and off all evening.

If we go into it with even a glimmer of doubt we will fail. I say just think about the positives and take each day as it comes. Get through one day at a time and then each evening congratulate yourself hearterly for staying on plan!

I am going to classes yes. I think its the best thing for me to do and it also gets me out of the house and socialising. I work from home so I have no real reason to go anywhere and because I hate the way I look and feel, that suits me just fine. I am so happy that my meetings are at 7 in the evening. Nice and dark, I won't be seen by many en route. Once I get there I don't mind as there will be many who are either in or have been in my shoes. xx

Yeah I no what you mean! The class I'm starting are 6.30 at night and I'm starting wednesday that's exactly what I'm going to do is take 1 day at a time x
