Hi everyone - just joined today! Am aiming to loose about two stone by june, its my 30th bday and my OH got me a 3 week holiday in thailand for xmas and to celebrate so thats my 'thinspiration'!!

I am doing ww at home as meetings are very expensive. I lost weight a few years ago using the ww plan so heres hoping I can do it again! Am feeling pretty positive and this site looks great ;)
 
Hello everyone! I was recommended this site by a friend and I can tell it's going to be invaluable already.
I'm 34, currently weigh about a stone less than my heaviest but it's still far too much, my BMI is currently in the obese category at 13 stone 10 :(
I've yo-yo'd since my teens, my lowest weight was 10 stone 4 about three years ago but it's piled on since then and I've used WW and SW but I suppose never really understood the logic behind points/syns/free food etc.
Today I decided to get a grip for 2010 and have joined Nutracheck which is basically just an online food diary but for the first time I understand how many calories I'm supposed to eat a day to lose weight. I'm on 1400 per day plus 200 to burn in exercise and they reckon I can lose 2 1/2 stone by May 17th...it's on the calendar to motivate me!

Wish me luck guys :)

Hi everyone,

Found this web sight after doing a google search. I've been following a low carb/ paleo diet for awhile with success at weight loss and good health. Thought to become a member to learn what others are doing to improve their health and share what I've done too.
 
Hey all I'm Missa and I'm a 26yr old female from Leeds. I have decided to join this site as I desperately need to lose weight. About 3 years ago....or more ^_^ lol I weighed in at 14.7 st and went down to 12.7 st then eventually 12 st which was a big achievement for me. Now I have let myself go and my weight has gone upto 13.8. I lack motivation and really need some help to get down to my target weight as I don't want to be a size 18/20 again.

I will be starting the slimmers world diet so hopefully this will help me to get down to my target weight. I would really appreciate any form of encourage, advice or tips throughout this process from all you good people out there.

I look forward to hearing from you all. Goodluck with your weightloss.
 
Hey, im Shauna. I decided to join as I hope it will inspire me to lose some weight! I am going on holidays in July with my boyfriend and have told myself that I am NOT going if I still look the way i do today!
Goodluck everyone
 
Hi,

Found this site answering a lot of my diet questions on google so thought id sign up!! :)

I was on slimming world 2008 and lose 1 1/2 stone!! Only i was made redundant and fell off the wagon only to put it all back on by Nov 09.

So I rejoined my local group but dont seem to have time to go anymore! Im now weighing in at boots in my lunch break and wanted a bit of group support from here!

Looking forward to talking to you all

I love it when I see a new member has joined us. It won't be long before you feel at home with us and feel confident enough to post in lots of threads.

Until then why not start a new thread in this section and tell us a little bit about yourself and ask us questions if you need help with either weight loss or the site.

Looking forward to reading your introductions

Hello everyone
I'm new to the site. Just started back on cd for 2nd time did it this time last year and successfully lost 4 stone. Need to lose around 2 and half now.
Haven't got a clue what I'm doing on here there are just too many threads to choose from! So any help appreciated.

Hi everyone,

I've just joined this site too and it's the first forum site I've been on so I'll probably take some time to get used to it! I'm about to start the Weight To Go diet soon so I think this site will help to keep me on track knowing I'm not alone!

The weight has sneakily crept up over the last few years so I'm aiming to lose a healthy 2 stones in the first instance.

Good luck to everyone!

Just Joined

Hiya,

I've just this second joined. Been looking at the forums for some time now when (well before xmas) when i was well into slimming world, and found it really useful. I went off track and then got back onto it but found i was putting on more weight, so iv scrapped slimming world. I lost 3stone a few years ago calorie counting so was considering that again, however just been looking at how many options and differnt foods there is on weightwatchers now and am thinking about that! Has anyone got any suggestions?? Could really do with the support this time round, keep me going...:) x
 
SW extra easy

Hi there, dont know if this is any help but before Xmas i heard about SW new eating plan called Xtra Easy, it is a combination between red and green days. So you can actually eat potatoes with meat as much as you like and pasta with meat sauce as much as you like. I didnt believe but i did lose 6lbs in a week. But then Xmas came so i put it all back on. But i plan to start again tomorrow. Hope this helps
 
Sounds to good to be true Teresa! WEll done on your 6lbs loss.

Thanks for the welcome Irene. I am new to the site.
I have a 4 month old and joined minimims to get some support with losing my 3 stone baby weight.
I have joined the calorie counting forum since this works best for me (combined with exercise 4/5 times per week). The members on that section seem really friendly so I look forward to exploring the rest of your website as well over the coming months.

Thanks for setting up a fab site x
