Count me in too!

[Dimplenose]

I have had a weight problem since a teenager, though what I thought was fat then is my target now!!!

I have about 5 stone to lose (70lbs?) but may be a little more, I'll adjust my target when the time comes. I have been on diets or thinking about them all my adult life - I'd hate to think how much money I've spent on slimming clubs and fat free yoghurt!

I know I can lose weight as I've been slim a few times but I just don't keep it off.

I love the idea of this board and have been reading it for a while, I hope you don't mind me joining you.

Welcome to WISH


There are just about as many different programs as there are WISHers! BUT -- we all have the same end goal -- to lose weight and become healthier inside and out! Becoming healthy on the outside takes becoming a better person on the inside -- and THAT is what WISH has done for ME!

It's great to have you join us!

 

[ohMom]

welcome to our family!! so glad you've decided to join us - we need all the support we can rally together!!

what plan are you thinking of??

Hi Libby! I'm so glad to see you here on WISH. WISH is a wonderful place, so helpful and supportive. I think you're going to like it here.

Will you do me a favor and post to our WISH challenge thread also? It just helps me keep track of everyone who is in my support group. The Challenge thread is right <b>HERE</b>

That member clipart looks really good on you. I'll bet you will be trading up to a new one soon, though. Will you be following a formal eating plan or just easting sensibly. We have every diet discipline imaginable represented here on WISH, so no matter what program you choose, there will be someone here to help and advise you.

I'm really glad you are with us now. You are going to do really well, I'm sure. The WISH support group is just <b>magical</b>, everyone is kindhearted and helpful, they have helped me so much.

I began needing to lose a little more than 7 (or more) stone and now I have about 5 more stone to lose. I'm working my way to goal and I'm thrilled to know you are going to be making the journey with me.

We'll help each other along that path, okay? We'll have lots of fun doing it, too. You can do this, Libby, we're going to do it together.

Hi, Libby Welcome to WISH!! Since you've been reading, I guess you already know this is a wonderful place for motivation and inspiration! I love all the people here, they are simply the best anywhere! I'm glad you're here with us!!!

WELCOME, Libby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope to see you posting often! I've battled with my weight since I was a teenager too. Have been waaaaay up and down many times, but this time is the LAST time! You can do it! Just stick around here and read every post you can and post as often as you can!!! What helps me out is knowing that I am making choices every day towards living a healthier life! Nobody is perfect and we don't expect you to be perfect, so be easy on yourself if you indulge here and there! Drink lots of water, start moving and make healthy choices when it comes to putting food in your mouth!

Thanks for your warm welcomes. I belong to a club called Slimming World and I've lost 12lb so far (this time), but unfortunately I'm still heavier than when I joined them for the first time 3 years ago.

Their plan, if followed correctly, forces me to eat a balanced diet with a few treats along the way.

I did WW a long time ago and it was very good then, again it made me eat heathily. I tried them again just before joining SW and found the new points system didn't suit me at all as I wasted all my points on junk.

At the moment I'm fairly focused but I'm just taking it one day at a time and seeing where I get to. Tuesday is weigh in night so I'll see how I'm doing this evening.

Samantha (Fantasia Sam) also belongs to Slimming World. You already have a WISH team mate on the same plan, isn't that great?

Welcome aboard Libby!!!

Hey Libby

I'll be your Slimming World Buddy if you like? I also found the same thing as you on WW spent all my points on junk food.

I love SW because you can binge on as much "Free" food as you like and I like using my sins for little mini-size chocolate bars and alcohol.

I've just joined WISH in the last couple of days too and I'm so glad I did - for one thing it gives me something else to do on the internet and therefore not eat - I can't eat and type at the same time. The other is the motivation and support that comes with this group is HUGE.

By the way I live in Barking Essex but I used to live in Wimbledon where abouts do you live in Surrey?

Welcome to WISH, Libby!!

Hello Sam, I'm in Walton-on-Thames.

It's nice to hear from another SW member.

The thing I like about SW is the free food (I always like a bargain ). I've been known to make sin free chips at 10pm before now! I have mainly green days.

At the moment I'm very positive, but I've had my share of bad weeks and tears. 5 weeks ago I decided to go "cold turkey" on chocolate as I'd been binging on it and hiding the wrappers from DH. So far it's working.

Hope you're doing well.

Libby

PS Down 2lbs last night

Sorry Sam, I forgot to add that I'd loe you to be my Slimming World Buddy.
