Weight loss quest!! UPDATED with goals - weigh in every Monday morning!

[Beadette]

Ok girls, so since my loss I'm creeping up and up on the scales and am fed up of it! A lady at work commented how big my arse is getting and that's topped me off!

So no matter how big u are to start with or how much u want to lose, I thought we could help support and encourage each other with a weight loss group!!

I am wanting to lose 21lb in total.

If u would like to join me just say how much you would like to lose and we'll have a weekly weigh in so I can record how we are all doing! You do not have to disclose how much you weigh!

Let's face it, getting healthier can only help our TTC efforts!!!

Hey Beadette

I've had 3 mmc and just got more depressed with each one so the weight has piled on!!! I wish I was one of those people who lost weight while stressed and I would be thin!! lol
I would love to get some support here in our quest to loose weight....I have to wait on surgery before ttc so have a couple of months at least to work on things!!!

Hi,

I am back on my slimming world diet as i am well overweight, clothes size 20-22
I am aiming to lose 1 stone by 1st April, no matter what I am also taking a mile long walk every other day and doing free weights and thigh crunches at home and i plan to get cycling again asap. ttc for so long and then losing our baby has had a big effect on my weight as i comfort eat, but realised that as my chances are now reduced due to ectopic an losing my tube, i need to have wilpower again and lose around 4 stones.

So any support would be great as i dnt attend slimming class as i already had the books xxx

 

[debgreasby]

Oooh count me in! I need to lose about 30Lb

 

[hb1]

Deb - you are so slim in your pic - can't imagine where you're hiding 30lb!!

 

[Beadette]

Right that's it then! Shall we officially start on Monday? I will put all our goals up on the top post and every Monday we will 'weigh in' and I will update with how we are doing!

This means we have got a few days to build up some motivation and eat as many cakes as u want before that time! Lol!

I have started boxing again and am going to try counting points as in weight watchers as I have the books/calculator.

I have piled on 21 lb since my wedding day, which was six months ago. I thought I looked great then but now my weight gain is affecting my confidence and I am consequently comfort eat!!!! Bah!!

I would love to join in,i have pcos and need to lose quite abit of weight. My bmi is around 40. Dont no what weight that is cause i hate scales lol.
I lost a stone just after christmas on the atkins diet but after 4 weeks i was really ill, always tired, had no energy and every time i ate something i was bringing it straight back up again. Thats the only diet that has ever worked for me and i have tried them all.

I will try and just cut out all the junk food (not that i eat that much anyway) can only manage 1 meal aday and 2 hours of exercise a day. 1 hour on the wii fit and 1 hour on the treadmill.

Happy dieting girles. Hope we all reach our goals xx

Dear Beadette and girlies,
Good luck! I think this is awesome that you are trying to get healthy! and I support you all. I started on a 10lb weight loss goal about a month ago, and I only have 7 pounds to go! I know that doesnt sound like I've made very much progress, but it is really hard for me as I LOVE food and have such a sweet tooth, so I am happy about my 3 lbs! just want to get these last 7 off then am down to my normal weight. I know that might not sound like a lot to some of you girls who are hoping to loose more, but hey, we all have our challenges!
Good luck everyone, I really hope everyone is successful. And we should add our weight loss tips! My first one for you is: If you have a major sweet tooth like me, have a cup of herbal tea every time you feel like candy! I have something with vanilla or orange, so it feels like something sweet even though it has no calories.

xoxo

Hiya. I'd like to join. I'd like to at least lose 40 but more like 50...Even though I wanna be preg like right NOW. haha I have to go to a fertility specialist Thursday and I know this topic might come up. I put on about 25 lbs just from a medicine that my physician had me on and so I stopped taking it. It's time to start my diet all over again and work out to get as much off as possible.

 

[Beadette]

Great girls! I'll update the thread this evening when I'm on the laptop rather than the iPhone (bitchphone as it's known to my friends)!!!

Just made a salad to take for lunch and got fruit for snacks! Motivation starts now! Xxx

 

[debgreasby]

Deb - you are so slim in your pic - can't imagine where you're hiding 30lb!!

Oooh thanks hunni - but trust me, i have a flabby belly and a HUGE ass lol!

Good luck everyone!!!

 

[QueenieMurphy]

Beadette this is a good idea

I piled on the pounds after my m/c with comfort eating and that plus xmas means am biggest I've ever been.

I want to lose 17 pounds ASAP. I can't believe how much weight I've piled on in the last year, 17 pounds will get me back to what I was this time last year!!

Good Luck everyone xxx

 

[africaqueen]

Yaaaaay we got our own lil slimming club ;-)

I am planning to get my 1st weigh in at boots on monday as i started my diet last monday so il post my result. i am not very good at diets but im determined as this is to increase my chances at being a mummy and what more incentive do we need?

Good luck everyone xxx

 

[Megg33k]

I'll join! My short term goal is to lose 50lbs... no time frame there! I have a lot more than that to lose overall... but 50 would be a great start!

 

[xSTACEx]

Do any of you know if a fertility specialist will wait until you've lost weight to help you get pregnant? I'm going to see one tomorrow and I could stand to lose about 40 lbs, but not obese..just a bit overweight. I want a baby regardless because I'll just be getting fat anyway. haha

 

[Megg33k]

Depends on the FS, Stace. Some are perfectly wonderful about everything regardless of weight. And, some want to tell you that it's all your fault and you'll never have a baby if you're even slightly overweight. Most fall in the middle somewhere. Hopefully yours will be wonderful!

 

[xSTACEx]

Thanks, Megg. I really hope he won't care...I mean, I'm definitely not obese, but a bit overweight despite people telling me I'm not fat (and no offense to anyone that may be). I would just be upset to go in there and be told I have to wait. I had put on an extra 20 pounds from a medicine my physician had me on that I stopped so that made things even worse.
