I need some help

**Alibali** · 17-04-2009, 09:14 PM

Oh well, I'm gonna have to admit to being too heavy and start a diet AGAIN! At the wedding we were at yesterday there was a ceilidh band and I do love a dance, but after the 'strip the willow' I thought I was gonna collapse

I really could feel the difference my extra weight was making and felt very unhealthy, so here is my aim:

Start diet on Monday (girls weekend at home this weekend, so no point in fooling myself)

I aim to lose 5lb this week!

I aim to lose 1 stone 7 lbs for th 29th June (my holidays)

Will you help me please?

Of course we all will. Which life changes are you undertaking?

**Deb** · 17-04-2009, 09:20 PM

Yes, of course. What's your plan?

also, strip the willow is VERY energetic,most folks would need a sit out after that one.

**Blackhorse** · 17-04-2009, 09:21 PM

sure... I am actually about to start again too.
lost quite a bit with weight watchers online but took a break

was thinking of starting it up again on monday!!

**Tatia** · 17-04-2009, 09:35 PM

Yes, I definitely will. I'd like to lose 2 stone altogether so our goals are roughly similar.

What are you changing? I've upped my water and fiber intake, am controlling portion sizes and hitting the gym a few nights a week. Oh and making sure to get 5 a day or more.

**Alibali** · 17-04-2009, 09:52 PM

Thanks girls, now I've not exactly thought through my plan as yet

This is my starting point by telling you, however I have lost 3 1/2 stones before doing Rosemary Conley, so I will be following a low fat diet and increase the exercise - maybe a few more strip the willows would do the job!! We got a wii fit at christmas so might just start out on that.

What is this 'strip the willows' of which you all speak? Must be a British thing? I sense a Google coming on!

You really must google it, it'll be fun. It's a scottish country dance and very energetic, I'm off to have a look for one.

My friend is a SW consultant, but I just can't get to grips with SW. I prefer sticking to low fat and exercising a bit more.

Thanks for helping me! Hope we can succeed together

That dance looks like such fun! And wow, the men look sexy in their kilts.

**Tily Bud** · 19-04-2009, 10:59 AM
