anyone got a lot to lose????

[mrs Williams]

hey ladies reading this has been an inspiration, i also have a lot too lose have put on 5 stone since being with my husband and its about time now that i did somethin about it. i had a starting weight of 19st 7.5lbs, 2 weeks in and im 18st 12lbs!! feels fantastic,
ive set a preliminary target of 5stone which will mean i will be 14 n half stone, still overweight but i was comfortable at that weight, i will just see how things feel when i get there!!!

anyway ladies there are a few of us here for the long haul and i look foreward to getting to know u all and sharing in your good times and being there too listen when (if) things dnt go the way we want them too xxx

I've set my target to 10 1/2 stone which makes me 5 stone to lose. But what i would really love to do is get down to 9 1/2 stone but really don't know how doable that is!! I don't think i lose weight very fast so will be in it for the long haul. I just truly hope i can stick to it and lose the weight. I want to be happy within myself and being the size i am now i'm really not.

Just wanted to wish everyone good luck xxx

I also started with having to lose 1/2 my body weight (about 12 stone according to the charts). I have lost almost 5 st since September, so definately feel like I am getting there now. This is the most I have ever lost on a diet, and could not have done it without this forum. It really keeps you motivated.

I'm not sure yet how much I want to lose in total, I think I will go by clothes size.

 

[mrs Williams]

yes good idea, i would like to be a 12-14 as i a quite broad with a largish frame and any smaller than that my hip and collar bones stick out quite bad!!
am so looking 4ward to buying smaller in fashion clothes next summer good luck everyone i look 4ward to hearing about all ur successess xx

Hi, I also have about 11 stone to lose.
My hubby wants me to get to a size 16 and stop, I still dream of being a size 12 again!
I just cannot envisage it happening and in the last week I have fallen off the wagon big time!
I'm hoping that I'll have greater willpower once I start at class (I've asked for a countdown as a Birthday pressie).

I wish everyone good luck! Would it be easier to support each other if we add each other as contacts?

 

[mrs Williams]

im up for adding as contacts shirleen
i have been on every diet under the sun and always failed cos i lost motivation, this time i am determined to do i want to wear a pair of shorts next summer without worrying about my thighs!!
i am just imagining it now
good luck everyone xx

not sure weight always reflects size in the real world does it, and who is to say what a size 12 is, clothes these days come up in so many sizes what is a size 12 in say tescos can be a size 14 in asda :sigh: its a crazy crazy sized world
good luck with the boob thing, i like to say more than a hand full is a waste mind you im only saying that after losing about 8" from mine

[mrs Williams]

I know Mrs Williams you are right, thanks, i guess I need to stop thinking negatives and "yeah as if im gonna ever be THAT slim" im doing mini goals now, like to get in to the 16 stones, then will be the 15s etc and am going to face it that way instead!

Thanks for the positive words

If you had told me 2 years ago that I would have lost nearly 7.5 stone, I would have laughed at you, but guess what?!!!!

Welcome everyone..fantastic post. I have another 4 stone to go before I reach my target of 10 stone...yes I was 21 stone 7lbs. If I can get this far, then you all can...determination and believing that you can do it helps!...along with MM of course!!!

ur welcome mrsslim2be i find a few positive words from someone has the same effect on my negative moods as 3 bars of choccy lol n now im on SW and committed i kno that the positive words are much better for me and my waistline, i also find that the effects of some positive words lasts much longer than the fleeting satisfaction i get from a choccy bar!!! xx
