Room for a big one?!!! In a dream world i'd like to lose 5 stone, realistically i'd be happy with about 3! I was thinking about joining slimming world, can't be arsed with calorie counting etc and a mate of mine lost about 16 stone doing it! Not sure i'm disciplined enough, my user name may give away my weakness!

I've bought a Slimming World starter pack from Ebay as I don't really like going to meetings. I tend to take the scenic route when I lose weight, usually about a 1 or 1.5lbs a week & I always feel a bit under pressure if I go to a group. As long as it's coming off & not going on I'm quite happy. I started on a Monday so I can have lots of syns at the weekend. Gotta have vodka & chocolate at the weekend or I'd go mad! You can have Extra Easy days now which are like a mix of Red & Green. Unlimited of whatever is Red or Green but less A & B choices. And if you've never done Slimming World before I've probably just confused the hell out of you, lol.

I'm game for this. I'm 5' 9" and 14st 2lbs. I'd be happy to get to around 12st 2ish.

2 stone in 10 months. What am I worried about?

I'm confused as hell Cheers for the info Sammy74 it will no doubt make sense to those doing (or have done) Slimming world.

Hi and welcome badlands. Goa very jealous

2 Stone in 10 months...haha no problem I have done 5 stone and half of a very important pound in nearly 9 months. Yay!! Those that were in last years thread I made the 5 stone marker today my total loss is sitting at 70.5lb's!

How on earth did you find weightwatchers boring? tedious at times (Working out the points of everything before you put it near your mouth) I'm with you on the liquid diets, Slimfast, Cambridge, Lighter Life...all they do is let you forget how to chew! Let's hope we can all stay spurred on until next June!

[dvjj]

I've a low boredom threshold and I hate diet drinks!

[Chocscoffer]

Cheers guys and gals!

Yes, red, green, syns - argh!!! all confusing but i'm sure I can get my head round it! I have just text my mate who has won slimming world slimmer of the year because he lost shit loads so I figure he'll be good for kicking my ass and keeping me going!

I can't remember who said eat less calories than you burn and it's easy but, for me it isn't! I have an underactive thyroid so my body doesn't work properly! Also no energy to exercise, so I don't expect miracles but hopefully if I start losing weight then my energy levels may go up!

Great for keeping track of your progress over time.

Ok, I have my first meeting tonight at Slimming World

My friend is coming with me who lost 16stone on slimming world so hopefully he can keep my ass on track! I actually don't want to know how much I weigh, I have an idea but i know i'll be embarassed and go bright red

I can see me coming onto this thread most days for support!

I have a lot on this weekend which will inevitably involve me drinking lots and eating out, then there is of course Alchemy festival in a couple of weeks so I figure I start this Monday properly and then try and follow it at Alchemy (cook stuff myself), any else done this sort of thing right at the beginning?!

Cheers for that site TheSeventhOne, when i'm brave enough i'll have a good look!

I joined last year's thread, did a bit of exercise and starvation after Christmas, and lost the weight (1.5 stone) I wanted to, albeit in an unhealthy manner.

I've put a little bit back on, but really want to focus on the fit side rather than the weight-loss side.

[dvjj]

I've measured! I suppose i ought to mesure every few weeks. I don't know how long this is gona last though

If you want to see what you might look like slimmer or fatter then have a go on this. http://www3.weightmirror.com/weightmirror/index.php?id You upload a pic of yourself, put your height & weight in then move an arrow to add or remove pounds. The result is instant. (Oh if only it was that easy in real life!) I made myself look skinny on it then died laughing by doing a mahoosive one. Oh & it doesn't cost anything by the way.

I wanted to loose some weight so bought some running shoes yesterday, gonna start a new diet when we go shopping on Wednesday.

So I'm in on this.

Ok, I now need to get rid of about 6 stone, I was worse than I thought

I'm going away this weekend and haven't got time to digest how it works properly so I will try and eat as little shit stuff as possible then start it properly on Monday. I am doing the extra easy one, the green and red day thing didn't appeal at all! I have 15 sins a day and considering a mars bar is 14 sins then I am royally fooked!

Mugshots are my Slimming World tip of the day! Free or low syn & they're 4 for a pound in Tesco at the mo.
