i've been quite good this christmas, i normally scoff a lot of rubbish but i knew i wanted to start on the first and i didn't want to go cold turkey on chocolate and fizzy drinks. The only vice is chocolate brazil nuts, they are so tempting and lovely and mmmmmmmmm. Thank god i ate them all and only have normal nuts to eat :laughing:

I need to join you.

Are you all planning on following a particular plan or just doing it yourself with healthy eating?

I need to go to a group to help keep me on the straight and narrow (not that I ever do 100% but my logic is 90% is better than 5% lol.

Trouble is my working hours mean that I cannot get to a group regulalry then I slip. Thought about doing it online but then that is really just the same as not going to group.

I have the Paul McKenna thing but cannot beliueve that would even work.

Help

I want to start just after New Year so we can all egg each other on.

I'm desperate to do this so pleeeeeease help me!

I aim to start getting up earlier three mornings a week to do an exercise video too - once I get into it I get addicted quite quickly but then I always get ill or something comes up to stop me and I don't start again!

I'm with you and the others Angel

Desparately need to lose a couple of stone.

Have so many things going on this year that I need to be SLIM (MER) for.

My downfall is picking and not eating properly especially when I'm on the forum.

Then when I'm munching I get thirsty so I get the wine out.

So I will start 1st Jan, new year, new start.

I have actually weighed myself today and I've LOST weight, only 2 lb but it's a start.

OMG that means I actually eat and drink more when it's not xmas:laughing:

I aim to be good and stick to it this time.

Hopefully we can all help each other and egg one another on

I'll put my name down for this too. I am trying to be good (ish ) at the moment but the house is full of C*** to eat a the mo so am picking at things but I am realising I am doing it and then stopping myself from binging! Everything in moderation... Isn't it boring though lol.

I am feeling really motivated for January though!

Do you remember the old forum and the thread that Angel said about that thing yo udo when you are bigger and its boiling hot and someone asks you why you have your coat on and you lie and say ' im a bit cold' despite the fact that its 27 degrees and you are actually baking but you dont wanna take your coat off to reveal the bumps its hiding!!!!

I am not doing that this summer :panic: NO WAY!!

I want to lose 3 stone to Nat,

I want to have done it by June 1st.

Im also considering joining the gym but I need to be driving first so I can get there in the short amounts of free time I get.

How does everyone feel about this......

Obviously our last attempts didnt work too well for everyone.

What about if we all tried a different diet??

I've actually been considering the atkins..... I hated it last time but it did work, I just had to stop it because of how awful I was feeling on it. But might try it again.

There is loads to chose from, might make it a bit more intersesting if we all picked a diet and did a weekly update of weight loss, how we are feeling etc... we dont have to all have a different diet, you pick the one you like.

I know aswell some would just rather do healthy eating but I do find the bad things are easier to slip in when you arent following some sort of guidance.

Just a thought ladies.

What do you all think?

i also have the incentive of a hol on 7th july to turkey, it will be about 40 degrees or something then so lots of flesh out.

oh and susan and her family are meeting up with us as they will be there also, and she is a skinny minnie so added pressure lol

Lou x

angeldelight
30-12-2007, 08:46 PM
No Lou

Susan prefers us to say she is "slim and lovely " she hates being called skinny and feels how we do but in a different way if you know what I mean

You are going to do so well Lou that we will be calling you a skinny minnie instead haha

I like your idea Lana. I'll be doing slimming world again!

I've been on a med cruise and it was fab, I'd love to do it again but don't think the children would enjoy it, and we certainly wouldn't with 2 kids in tow!! We did a lot of sightseeing.

Lou
30-12-2007, 08:57 PM
i only meant in a complimentary way, but i know what you are saying Angel.

I feel like an elephant, but its all about how you feel isnt it, i think i will feel better when i get going on it and am motivated.

I am going to follow weight watchers plan, ie so many points a day, but not go to meetings unless i am not sucseeding as its really expensive now.
I will also be taking up "running"again.

Everytime i feel weak, i will just think about my hols, and hopefully meeting you guys some time soon.

Hi

I will probably do the weight watchers no count - i lost 2 stone on it a couple of years back really easily. Too be honest i think what really helped was writing it down it really made me think about what i was eating :)

My sister bought me a set of the diet plate recently i dont know if anyone has used it or heard of it. It is a plate split into sections according to what food group you are eating x she also got me the dish too. We were really lucky the set usually costs around 40 pounds but the inventor was on my sisters ward in hospital and she told all the nurses about it then sold then sets at 10 pounds a set :)

Im sure it will really help being able to log on here and chat to other dieters whenever i like ;)

I'm up for this as well - house is full of chocs atm - all calling me (yes they are!) to eat them up, which is daft as I want to lose not gain weight.

Hubby who is as thin as rake says he will take them to work for me!

So, what's the best diet to try - willpower non existent.

I have never been bothered with diets, i like choc to much but it doesnt mean i dont need to. The best exercise to move weight and just eat normally with smaller portions is BOXFIT and walk more (escpecially up hill) i hate walking and i live in the lakes but the weight just falls off and stays off, just try that before you spend money on diet clubs give it one month and if it doesnt work them go.Not being bossy just thought it might help.:)

I am going to start next week as I cannot face doing a proper food shop while the shops are so busy. My body is telling me it needs to start tomorrow as i feel so bloated for all the rich food but it will have to wait!!

I am going to aim for 1 1/2 - 2 stone but try not to put as much pressure on myself as I usually do. I would like to look half way decent for a beach holiday in July and then really decent for a nice exotic holiday next feb so I reckon that is quite doable (is that a word?)
