Guess who's back...?
i can't work out how to put a photo up, it keeps telling me that i'm not authorized to do stuff
Pics are something that comes after 50 posts I think... so get nosing around and popping a few words here and there
xx You could start that thread for January starters too? You can see the one I did for August starters as an idea... that way everyone has somewhere to convene

well i have about 50lbs to loose, that will take me to about 10 and a half stone. to be honest ive had 2 kids and am not sure if ill ever get that low, or even if i want to because of the skin and stuff.
at the moment im a 16-18, ill keep on with this untill im a 12. a 12 is perfect and not something ive been since i was 18!!!!
i should finish foundation around the 20th april, but im not saying that for definate, i may stay on it longer of i need to!!!

iT'S ABOUT A STONE A MONTH
Obviously it does depend a bit on how much you have to lose, but you can reckon on a stone a month and probably a bit more at the start.
The weight loss is not usually consistent.
Some weeks will be amazing and sometimes you'll think youve got stuck and can feel very despondent.
If you are prepared for that it will be easier and remember we will all be here to cheer you on.
Good luck when you get cracking.:nightf:

Hi,
Well, mine will be a long journey. I've been hovering around 18st7-19st for most of this year, and I'm aiming to lose 10stone.
When I've tried SW (at least 3 times in the last 5 years) and previously at WW and another local slimming club, I've been starting out at 16-17 stone but it always seemed too daunting to say what I really wanted - to be slim not just not obese - and so I always settled for "I'll lose 10 per cent. Then, inevitably, I'd lose interest and it would have taken ages anyway.
So, this time, I'm shouting it loud and clear - I will lose at least 50 per cent!!! and be in the lower end of the "normal" BMI.

Good luck
You CAN do it and the time flies by.
I've lost over half my body weight ( and so much baggage.
I never thought I could do it.
You will too.
Good luck.

Hi guys

I just thought I'd stick my head in to say good luck! I had to wait a few weeks before I started but it'll come round before you know it! I'm not going to lie to you. It will be one of the hardest things you've ever done in your life but the results speak for themselves. I have my week 15 weigh in on Wednesday where I'll hit 6 stone lost!

Hmmm, ditto, no definite start date here either! I'm happy about waiting until after Christmas/New Year, but I do hope it isn't much after that!
