Lost 1lb this week so down to 15st4 - hoping it won't be too much longer until the 14's now! I've had a terrible few weeks of staying the same so hopefully this week will give me the kick up the bum that I need to get going again!

Well done! Lost a pound this week so I can finally say I've reached my 1.5 stone! Yay! Off to change my signature, and then it's on to my Club 10, hopefully next week...! Good luck everyone who's still to weigh in! :)

I used to have acrylic tips years ago but it ruined my nails & I never want anyone to use one of those electric files on my nails ever again! I get gel overlays on my natural nails done every three weeks - I pay £20 but it is really my only big treat - and then they're perfect & I never have to...

I went to Australia last year for a month & love it - my favourite country definitely. Sydney is my joint favourite city in the world I think (although I could take or leave Melbourne!). For a city break, New York is my fave - just planning my fourth trip there for this November / December...

LOVE Muse! Always amazing every time I see them live, it's like being picked up & shaken - in a good way!

For me I think Coldplay are one of those bands that the more I see them, the more I go off them! Liked them years ago, and then since then I've seen them at other festivals & was bored rigid this year when I saw them at Glastonbury. Pleased Ed Sheeran won a couple & agreed with Blur's...

11?! That's amazing!

Still here! Lost 1.5lbs this morning so now 15st 5 & a half! Was really hoping to get my 1.5stone sticker today which would have taken me down to 15st 4, but it didn't happen, so may be hanging around here a bit longer! :D

1.5lbs off for me this week - thought it'd be a bit more to be honest as I've been very good all week good-wise, but my running plans have been severely hampered by the snow so maybe that didn't help! Hopefully I WILL finally get my 1.5 stone sticker next week... :)

Congratulations! How exciting! I might look up this 30 day shred myself!

I bought a week's worth yesterday in my local Sainsburys - I love them! Definitely my favourite flavour. They are a bit like eating melted mint choc chip ice cream, which is never a bad thing in my book.

Weighed in at 15st 7 today so exactly halfway through the 15s! Amazing considering it's been my birthday & I've eaten my own body weight in cake & not been able to go out running due to the snow! Hoping for 3lbs off this week to get me to my 1.5 stone sticker next Tuesday!

Don't lose heart - easier said than done I know but I've had a couple of weeks like that - usually when I exercise more bizarrely & it does start shifting again soon! x I lost 1lb this week, so 18lbs in total - amazing considering the amount of crap I've eaten & drunk over the last 10 days...

When I first went to SW about 5 years ago, the consultant was great & the group was really friendly & I found it really helpful to stay & it didn't feel at all like a chore. Then I moved & when I returned to SW a few years later I just didn't warm to the consultant, and found her too...

Hitchin in Hertfordshire

This is going to turn into my favourite thread, I just know it! Going on personal recommendation, I would say Australia each time - my favourite place in the world! The Whitsundays are beautiful, Barrier Reef, Sydney... There's so much I haven't seen as well, so if I could get an unlimited...

I knew I shouldn't have read this thread! :) I am more broody for a dog than I think I will ever be for a baby, but as I currently live on my own & work full-time (and then some!) the time just isn't right for me to get one. All of your doggy-babies are gorgeous!

Ooh I really want the Michael Jackson one! Might add that to my birthday list for next week! :)

I'm really starting to look forward to it now Wegle - starting week 3 of the Couch to 10K tomorrow morning!

Yes, and I am the worst culprit! :) I need to get out of the habit of weighing myself every morning as it only leads to disappointment! :) However today I was taken by surprise in a nice way as I'd STS each morning & then this morning finally showed a loss!

This is exactly what I was just saying to my friend at lunch!

Lost 3lbs this week to take me to the mid-15's range - 15st 8! Happy with that - & feeling quite motivated for another couple of pounds off next week - once I get into the lower 15's I should achieve both my 1.5 stone & my club 10...! Hopefully mid-Feb?!

Lost 3lbs this week after STS last week, so well pleased with that! I wanted to get my 1.5 stone by my birthday on the 30th which I doubt will happen now, but still very chuffed. Good luck today everyone! :) x

Is that the church made of bones & skeletons?!

I LOVE Rome - one of my favourite cities in the world. As others have said, a tour of the Colosseum is well worth doing, and if you want to go in the Vatican (which I would recommend) & the Sistine Chapel, go really early. The Trevi fountain is lovely. The Pantheon is a pretty amazing...

I'm doing the Olympic Park run at the end of March, which is 5 miles, so just started the Couch 2 10K. I did a couple of 10k's a few years back but haven't done much since due to a very annoying recurring back injury. I'm hoping once I've done the 5m run it'll inspire me to do a few more 10k's...

Probably at around the 12lbs mark, just that my jeans are now borderline-far-too-baggy & some of my other clothes seem to fit much better too. I am sure it won't be long until you start feeling & seeing the difference!

Brilliant! :D I would probably wear flats too at this time of year in case the wind is a bit fresh out there, maybe a dress with a blazer if you're going to be in & out of the covered bit of the boat (I'm sure there's a proper name for that area, but can't conjure it up right now!)? I've...

Yes! The theme is Rocking All Over the World, so music / Olympics related - trouble is I am so lacking the creative gene, so I really don't know what to do! There's three of us doing it together so would be good to pair up with them decorations-wise - I'm just hoping they are feeling more...

Mine is Blondie - Heart of Glass!

I'd probably still eat the whole packet! :)

This! And this! I'm always telling the cat about the straighteners. He doesn't care as much as he should - he'd be the one stuck in the house if it burnt down! :)

I'm really looking forward to the Moonwalk - at nearly £50 to enter I was a bit unsure whether I should do it this year, but I'm so pleased now that I have. I'm actually looking forward to the walking training! I totally agree with all that's been said!

Me too! I've found week 2 a lot tougher than week 1 for some reason. I gave up when I was 25 for 5 years, then stupidly started again about 2 years ago. I'm finding it so much harder this time around! Keep going everyone, we're doing well! x

I love this! :D

Do you know what, I could have written the exact same post! I need to seriously change my weight, fitness & work this year too. Luckily... I think! I've signed up for the London Moonwalk in May this year as well as a 5 mile run at the end of March, so have set myself targets to exercise &...

Back here this week after 6lbs off to get me back to 15st11! I'm hoping to be into the 14s by end of February at the latest... fingers crossed!

Well after seriously falling off the diet wagon over Christmas & New Year, I lost a massive 6lbs this week & so I'm back to where I was the week before Christmas - 14lbs lost in total! I'm so pleased. Onwards & upwards - it's my birthday at the end of Jan so I'm hoping to have lost another...

Fantastic! Been looking at prices & tours today & not 100% sure it's going to be do-able financially but fingers crossed!

A friend told me about it! And I'm very pleased that she did! :)

Hopefully 3 weeks in Thailand & Vietnam / Cambodia for me in April... hoping I can have lost at least another 1.5 stone by then... This time last year I was about to head off to Australia for a month; I wish I'd done something about my weight before I went there as I did spend quite a lot of...

The standard ones for me I guess! Stop smoking (I've cut down but no more excuses - cold turkey from Xmas Eve) Get my finances sorted so that I can focus on: Setting up my own business. And of course carrying on with the weight loss. I'd love to lose another two stone at least by next...

That's fantastic! Yes I know what you mean - the jeans I'm slopping around in at the moment are ridiculous, but I'm still not quite fitting in a smaller pair that I've already got just yet - I refuse to buy an interim pair!

Hello! Can I join in?! Lost 4lbs this week taking me down to 15 stone 11, so hoping never to see the 16's again! :D Want to lose my next 1/2 stone in time for mid-Jan, so hope I can be quite good over Xmas...

Lost 4lbs this week so off to the '15's to 14's' group for me! 15 stone 11 as of this morning! :) Good luck everyone!

Good luck today everyone! I have had a good week after last week's 1lb gain - 4lbs off this week & it means I get my 1 stone sticker! So pleased! Now for the big week - if I STS at next week's WI I'll be more than happy...

I upgraded from the 3GS to the 4S the day it came out. The camera is good, I don't really use Siri as every time I try it just tells me it's not set up to surf UK websites, and the iMessenger is a pain in the arse as it takes longer to send than a text message used to! And then it'll send &...

I've lost 13lbs & it's only really been the last couple of days that I've noticed a difference in the fit of my jeans / work trousers etc; as for people noticing, I've tried not to tell too many people I was doing it, partly out of curiosity at wondering at what point people will actually start...

No naughty stuff in my house just yet - and I'm out Xmas day so no need to buy anything, and I'm pretty skint too! My mum & dad are coming to me on Boxing Day so was going to get a few bits for them, but they rang the other night listing out a ridiculous selection of stuff they've already...

I love F1! :) But going back to the original question: My Family. I hate it. Oh & Eggheads. Smug overload.

Wow - looks like everyone had a good week despite it being December & not long until Christmas! :D

Well I was hoping to be moving into the 15's today but gained a lb due to * week & weddings & Xmas dinners - so I'm here for one more week!

I've put on 1lb this week! :( But to be fair, was expecting it as * week arrived yesterday, plus I've had weddings & Xmas dinners galore this week - feeling confident that I can lose it & a few more for next week's weigh in. So 4 weeks in, 10lb lost!

I'm so sorry to hear that, must be such a difficult time for you x You've got to do what is right for you I guess, but I can only talk from my experience about how much losing some weight boosts my confidence, and makes me feel happier about myself. I'm single & have managed so far to find...

I've just started on SW so I'm feeling really focussed & motivated which helps me personally, as otherwise I'd just be thinking 'oh I'll just have this / that / the other, it won't matter too much'... I had my Xmas do last Saturday, so just made sure I was extra good in the lead up & then...

So far this year I've been trying to write a list before I go shopping, and keep my head down whilst walking past all the lovely stuff & just buying strictly what is on my list, but it's so hard! Sausage rolls Matchmakers Maltesers Pringles Posh biscuits Celebrations Cheese thins...

Curly fries topped with cheese! Is that cheating slightly?!

I wish I'd not read this now... I really NEED one now! :D

Congratulations on your new addition - love the name! x

I've not been dieting for long so to be honest at the moment I avoid studying myself in the mirror at all costs! :) Which is probably why I have so much to lose now! My friend swears by a couple of the different creams - if I can keep the weight loss up hopefully I can see for myself in a...

I love all these cat photos - I will have to add one of my boy later, when I get home from work! :)

Thanks Vicki! Roll on next week! :) x

Hello! I'm only hoping to be here for a brief time (no offence meant!) :), as I've weighed in this morning at 16st0, after losing a total of 11lbs in my first three weeks! I'm hoping I can lose another 3lbs next week to possibly get me to my 1 stone sticker... I thought by putting it out...

Can I join in?! :) Weighed in this morning & lost 3lbs, so a total of 11lbs in three weeks! I'm pretty amazed as I had my work Xmas party at the weekend & drank what felt like my own body weight!

I saw her at Glastonbury earlier this year - she was amazing! I wasn't a big fan before but was very impressed - & I agree she has an amazing figure! One day...! :)

For me it's spending time with family & friends, or if I am feeling a bit blue just taking some time out to appreciate what I have in life & trying to remember that on the bigger scale of things, I am very fortunate compared to a lot of people, and I need to stop sweating the small stuff! And...

I'm glad Fred is doing better! My cat has just decided he's a fussy eater now he's 14 & it's so hard to know what to do for the best for them when they're refusing to eat food they loved the week before!

I think I'm going to put mine up on Sunday! All the decorations were fetched down from the loft a couple of weeks ago & I'm too excited to wait any longer!

Congratulations!

Hello - I have just joined today & this seemed like a good place to start! I work as a Programme Manager for an engineering company, which doesn't really set my world alight! When I was at school college I had big aspirations to work for a record company in band management, or events...
