hey i could do with some work too we could do it together hun im just under 5ft myself, i could with losing some weight, i have a holiday at the end of October so wont do anything before then because i know i will be stuffing my face with fish and chips every night lol

I'm not its really bad need hun but at least if you know that your not the only one not eating chocolate and cakes it might help

Marie I am just ...my mind is a blank I can't remember how short I am, any way I think it's 4 ft and an inch. and I weigh 14 stone. supposed to be losing weight and keeping off the chocolates cakes ect but hubby keeps buying them, but I do notice when I say No thank you he stops buying as many when I say yes please he buys more. Can you see this is going to be easy, I just say No thank you more well every time. I do get out more now I have the pushchair to take my babies out in. So Marie I am with you and elijahfan
(Elijahfan) is there something shorter we an call you???) Lets do it together and come back here every other week to see how we are doing. remember it's as much a state of mind as it is a state of what's on your plate. Think thin. Think I wanna look like Caron does in a pair of jeans.

good...Veronica...now YOU need glasses! tell you how i keep to my weight. If my clothes fit ok then i am fine.If they start to feel tight ...i have to lay off the chockie..cream cakes..chinese ....etc etc.
I NEVER use scales. They just end up making you feel depressed and having a complex!
Chuck them out..do your work out...watch what you eat and .......be thorouhly miserable for the next few months!


Me.....i stay fit...(oh yes i do!) i am Very active....(stop laughing) .....and if i gave up everthing they say is bad for me...well life wouldnt be worth living...SO SHOOT ME NOW!

EXCELLENT MAYBE I HAVE LOST A FEW POUNDS FROM LAUGHING but on a serious note if its ok with Liz and Sylvie can i run a thread after my holls where girlies or men have to say how much weight they have lost or put on per week, and i can give suggestions and support ?

yeah abi

elijahfan is a name i have used on most forums with the password saves me trying to remember a different one each time lol

Great idea,go for it.We always need support when it comes to losing a pound or several hundred pounds

I'm in

I gained five stone whilst pregnant, lost some of it then gained it back again plus a bit more

My problem is I love food and can't exercise much due to having fibromyalgia and other unidentified arthritic problems

i have a dance mat i might buy a work out dvd tho

i have been reccommended by my doctor to my local sports and fitness centre, i am limited to what i can do, but go wednesday for a consultation. i will be assessed ,,,,,,,,,,,lol, the man who rang me about it sounded about 15 years old, lol, ill keep you informed, may be Marie you could do some thing similar, other than walking every where ive never been to a fitness centre before ,,,,,,,,think about me at 3pm, this wednesday.

Will be thinking of you Wednesday Karenza. I need to lose weight too, I get out of breath just walking to work which is only 5 minutes away. I just can't get motivated any more. Lynette

I have just started a healthy eating plan this past week I will be getting weighed in the morning after my first week I have heart problems and like you Kayjay suffer from chronic fibromyalgia so also can't exercise but with buying my little pram to hold onto I have started having a short walk each day haven't got very far yet but need to build up gently as not being able to walk very far for a long time so I love the idea of having a thread for this to help each other along

i have started doing at least half hour on the dance mat a day

but thanks to cadburys bringing back wispas I'm not doing so good lol

I'm just under 5'5" and at my heaviest, some while ago now admittedly, I hit 15 stone and was appalled ~ but kept eating the coffee cake!

In July, I decided I could no longer afford to run a car and got a bicycle, so now I cycle everywhere. I also started work again after 6 years of stay-at-home-motherhood, and that stopped me picking at cakes and biscuits all day. Without trying too hard I have lost over a stone and a half since July and feel like a different woman.

I don't have any magical tips for foolproof weight loss to share but eating less and doing more has worked for me...I would love to share support with this though, because my messy divorce keeps making me want to eat, eat, eat and then eat some more....
