Goodbye tubby 2012, hello slimmer summer 2013

Hello everyone, I hope you all had a lovely Christmas.

if you're anything like me however, no matter how good you said you would be, you've eaten far too much, feel uncomfortable, fat, mad with yourself, and are desperate to loose weight and feel nice again. I went to the sales today and ended up buying a size bigger than I've worn in years and even that was a little on the snug side. It makes you feel do horrible about yourself

well, I've decided 2013 has to be the year I succeed, I need to loose this weight that's like a noose around my neck, and need to find my confidence again. I'm hoping you lovelies will join me so we can encourage and support each other and share the highs and lows of trying to loose weight. I'm not planning on weighing until the 1 st jan to see the damage ive done the last few days, and will start then back on the old WW points system, but until then will try to be sensible. Have to be realistic, the house is still full of food and chocolate at the mo!!!!!!!

Ange, Kim, Nikki, sue, I really hope you'll join me too. I know we though about keeping our old thread but the more I thou about it I figured its a new year, a new challenge for us, so a fresh thread filled with positive vibes and lots of luck but just be the key. Time to sweep 2012 under the carpet and start fresh together heading towards a slim summer 2013.

i am hoping we may get a few new faces join us too.

i haven't really set a goal yet, but when I weigh I on / around the 1 st I plan to create my new ticker and will set my goal then.

until then everyone enjoy the rest of 2012 and hope to speak to you soon to work together towards a slimmer and positive 2013.

Lots of love and best wishes for the new year to everyone xxx

I'll join you! 4th August 4 stone to be gone or as close too xxx

I'm joining on the 5th Jan, I'm so excited thinking about finally losing weight. Have been on slimming world for the past year and had lost almost 2 stone but I've probably put all that back on now, I just can't get my head in it anymore. So I'm hoping WW is just what I need.

Dunno if its any use to anyone but there's a voucher in the new mag for a free first meeting which I'm going to be using. Good luck everyone

Hi Liz


Fantastic. Look forward to it xxx

Hi Emma,


Posted at the same time . We' ll all get there together xxx

I'm with you Becca!!! Rejoining on 3rd Jan gonna be a slim jim for my wedding in Nov 2013, wooohoooo! Good luck to everyone Xxxx

Well hello Becca ?

As you know, I'm with you all the way ........especially after Bill informed me today that he's hiding the chocolate as I'm putting my weight back on ?

Hi ladies! I've subscribed again Becca! Hi ange too! Well I've put a pound on over Christmas so not too bad! I've got a new goal which is another 4 stone off by my birthday which is 21st July! I'll be starting again tomorrow as I weigh in on Thursdays. I hope you all had a good Christmas and welcome to the new ladies who I haven't spoken to before! I wrote my food plan for the week before & even managed to fit in my new years eve party drinks so I've lost 3 stone this year and hopefully I'll lose another three next! Good luck ladies! Xxx

Whoops I meant another 3 stone not 4! 4 would be nice though! Xxx

Count me in! After weighing this morning I have just under 4 stone to lose and I'm heavier than I have ever been in my life. Even when I was pregnant. Today is the fattest I'm ever going to be.
Not quite sure what I plan to lose by Summer. Will give it a think and get back.

Can I join in please? I have weigh in tonight, which is going to be awful but at least I can reassess my goals and set a goal for summer 2013

Hello to all our new friends on this thread.

Becca Kim Sue Nikki and myself have kept in touch on another thread for a while so we know quite a bit about each other so here's a bit about me for those who don't know me

I have been overweight since about age 10 and have twice got to goal with WW and swore not to put the weight back on !!
I am only 4ft 11in so need to keep my weight off or I look as wide as tall
About 4 years ago I lost 6 stone with WW but have managed to put 2 stone back on over the last 12 months....plus what's gone on over Xmas !!!
I have a wonderful hubby, Bill and been married for 43yrs
I have 3 children, Ian who is divorced and has a daughter Laura(13) and 2 step children Olivia (18 next month) and Melissa (13)
My Daughter Debbie is married to Chris and has 3 children Kane (8) and Rosie and Jamie (twins aged 7)
Kane is Autistic and Jamie is totally blind so Deb has her work cut out.
Lee is my youngest son and is single living the good life in London.
I am a retired nursing sister. I took early retirement 8 yrs ago due to ill health but am fine now.
Both me and Bill are golf nuts and I have been on the committee at the golf club for 4 yrs
My favourite place in UK is a little village in Scotland called Aberfeldy. We go there for 2 weeks every September to chill
My aim in life is to stay healthy and keep the damned weight off

I intend to get weighed on New Years Day but will be sensibleish til then.

Speak to you all soon

Luv Ang x

Well I need all the help I can get I'm now 37 a teacher of year 4 kids and wife to Marc (mr skinny grrr) and mum to our only child Rebecca (5 in January) I was a swimmer so never had weight issues gave it up to do exams and got fat!!! I've done Atkins ww Sw exante harcombe and I'm now back to we and hoping to get there this time x

Well for those of you that don't know me I'm Nikki, mum to 3 year old Daisy and doing my accountancy degree I've lost 3 stone since the end of February and I aim to lose another 3 stone by my birthday in July. I'm 5ft11 and a size 14. I aim to be a 10/12 when I finish as I think my height would make me look silly if I was much smaller! So far so good today. Daisy is having a nap then I'm going to take her for a nice long walk to help me along the way! I weigh in on Thursdays but there is no meeting tonight xxx

Wow, what a great response . I'm so pleased you're all joining me ang and Nikki on our challenge. Together we'll get there .


I am 33, work for an apprenticeship provider and have struggled with my weight since childhood. When I met my hubby 4 years ago I was approx 10 stone and about a size 10/12, but since t hen have crept up due to several rounds of failed IVF, a hysterectomy 12 weeks ago, no to mention a few holidays and generally eating too much of the wrong things. I am now 11 stone something, am guessing around 11 8/9 coz of Christmas, and have nothing in my wardrobe that fits apart from leggings. I'm scared to admit it to myself but some 14's are way too snug now so guessing I must be about a size 16.which I haven't been in about 15 years.

I would love to get back into my size 12 clothes which means I need to be around 10 stone 7, but ideally would like to be down to 10 stone again. Will weigh myself properly on New Year's Day and let you know my starting weight.

Well, please forgive me for being brief, have a stinking cold so off in search of lemsip.

Happy, slim and positive new year wishes to everyone xxxxx

Well I'm Sam and I'm 27 years old, I live with my fiancé who is very supportive which is a huge help.... He eats anything I put in front of him

I'm 5ft 10 and my target weight is 11st 4lbs......initially when I joined WW in Sept 2011 I was nearly 13 stone and I reached my target weight in March 2012, I have never felt so chuffed!!! I then maintained till Nov 2012 (felt fantastic all summer!) and then I went on my first ever all-inclusive holiday to the Dominican Republic, it was out of this world and to top it off my fella proposed! We celebrated in style and to say the food was amazing simply doesn't do the resort any justice I thoroughly enjoyed myself and we ate like royalty however I put on about 10lbs and since getting back I have lost my will power and have fallen off the wagon.

I've barely been to the gym since getting back and in all honesty I've been eating rubbish and not making an effort however this has resulted in me putting even more weight on and I'm struggling to feel remotely good about myself and I HATE feeling this way!!! Hence why I am rejoining I work random shifts so I am rejoining a group on the 3rd of Jan and I can't wait!

Excited to get myself to a meeting and re-educate myself with the plan, also excited to get fit and get back to the gym, I'm rejoining with my mum and the wedding is a great goal for us both (Nov 2013!!!)

I don't know what I weigh but I'm guessing around 12 st 7ish lbs...... Hopeful it isn't more, eeeek! But will update after my first weigh in next Thursday.

I absolutely loved this site when I was losing weight last time as it was such a massive help and also very inspirational to hear other people's stories will be fab to get back into the swing of things and feeling very determined which always helps, just hoping it lasts!!! Xxxxx

Hi! I've been around this site for a while now, 2013 is the year I'm going to get to goal!
I'm becki, I'm 23, been married to my husband about 18months, and we have two little boys, Jesse who is 3 and Teddy who is 7months.
I started trying to lose weight 3 years ago in January, after having my oldest son I was my heaviest ever at 219lbs! I managed to lose abit of weight for our wedding in July 2011, then got pregnant with ted in the September, I managed to keep my weight gain down and did really well and lost my baby weight after 10 days! Since then iv lost abit more but mainly been messing around dieting for a few weeks and then eating crap! Last time I weighed before Christmas I was 181lbs so have lost 38lbs, but iv prob put a few on over christmas! I'm 5'9 so I'd like to be about 11st 7lbs, so have about 20lbs to lose, I'm hoping I can really crack on and have it off by our wedding anniversary in July!

Hi all


Can I join? I'm sarah I'm 27 and live with my hubbie and baby, I'm only starting ww after losing 3 stone in Sw, want to lose another 2!

I'm starting on the 2 jan.. I have all the info needed but I still might go to class.. I know I'm 11st something...? But not stepping on the scales until Wednesday...x

Hi ladies,


Welcome all newbies . Will write properly later but ha to check in to reveal my shame. Couldn't wait any longer so weighed this morning and have put on 7lb over Christmas. I'm not surprised but am so disappointed and ashamed of myself. Have decided to get back on plan today so am off shopping for low point foods in a bit.

Will write later and create my new ticker
