I wieghed myself today for the first time since october
Im 13st 12lb !!!!!
For someone who was once 9 stone thats huge! Its almost at 14st which is like Oh my god to me! Im exercising 5 days a week for 30-45 mins a time and eating healthy mostly weightwatchers stuff, so why isnt anything working?!
I cant work any harder at it. Il weigh myself next friday and make friday my wiegh in day. I am so shocked at my weight today1 I didnt expect it to be that much! Some one tell me its not that bad? Any tips on how to get the weight loss moving?

i don't know how to convert to pounds, but I understand how you feel. I was 250 when I started I just keep telling myself that it's going to take a while, after all it took years to put on. And that if I lose slowly and steadily than I have a much better chance of keeping it off in the long run

Thanks Vickie x Its just I thought ids still be the 12st I was before christmas but im not. I want to lose a good amount in the next 3 months. Hopefully all my exercising will help. College starts in september and they have a free gym for students. I might take up that offer and go every evening. Im about 182lbs. Id love to get down to 9 stone again (126lbs) Thats about 56lbs? Thats so much to lose! But hopefully I will work alot off. I have a 3 month goal to lose about 2 stone maybe?

I've been doing WW since January 9? and lost 40 pounds, though I still have quite a lot to lose. It can be done

I just want to lose some before I head off to college to sort of boost my confidence. Also my OH wants to lose a bit of weight too so we could help each other out.
I love how this thread is so supportive to women regarding weight issues. Women get so down over their wieght (I know I do sometimes!) so its great to know if your not feeling great there will be someone to help you out
Im just off now to do some more exercise bike 30-45 mins? Maybe 1 hour if I can push myself
I know it will take time to lose 50lbs+ but it can be done like you said. Im eating quite a lot of WW food at the moment. Im now going to cut my portion sizes and drink more water. I hate water so might just have weak squash. Keep the good work up girls!

mummytoamber - i went on different weight converter websites and they gave different measurements, so I was confused as to the right wieght in pounds. So thanks for clearing it up
I would like you to record my new details just to keep a check on it here.
Its nice having a friendly place to come to when your working towards something so personal like weight loss.
I have also done 1hr bike today and my knee's are killing me! Im up early tomorow to do 45 mins and then Im off into town on another job hunt. I have to save for college or find a week end job so I have to get moving!
Hope everyones having a great evening
