Hello everybody and good luck with all your weight loss plans

I last attended WW early 2007, after six months with them I lost almost two stone. It's all (and more) gone back on again
The key to weight loss and maintenance for me is exercise. I will roughly follow the old WW plan that I am used to but I am going to try and do it without attending meetings as I want it to be a life change not a quick fix diet. I am aiming to swim twice a week and stop allowing myself to use the car to collect from school (I walk every morning, but have somehow got into the habit of collecting in the car )
I would like to be three stone lighter next christmas, but will break it down to smaller goals along the way. I will be using the WiiFit to track my progress, I have already set my goal on the WiiFit.
This morning I had some green tea and special K for breakkie, a special K bar mid-morning and a salad wrap with a few dollops of low fat Houmous.
I will be reducing my bread intake, and cutting out white bread altogether, I will also be alcohol free (might treat myself to a glass at the weekend ) I will reduce red meat and sat fats.

Again, good luck everybody and thanks for running this, Natalie

Hello, I'm now on day 4 of this year's diet!! I lost nearly 6 stone with WW to get to my target weight last March (it took nearly a year to get there). I've now put back 2 stone of it (all since July and 7lbs in the last two weeks alone.)

I'm following WW (but not planning on restarting the meetings until after half term).

I want to lose 2 stone by the time I need to wear my summer clothes again as I only have these in size 12 and I'm a large size 14 at the moment. So I guess that's 2 stone by the beginning of May.

(Then I'll see if I can lose a few more pounds so that I can eat them back on in WDW in July!!)

Good luck everyone.

Hi everyone,

I'm about 6.5 stone overweight. I lost 2 stone last year for hols but put it all back on following a car accident shortly after returning.

I'm not officially following a diet (because of my M.E. I'd put on weight even with 1200-1500 cals- its the lack of exercise that kills me and sugar addiction).

My main goal is to stick to healthy eating and aim for 30 mins exercise on the wii fit every day (or, when having a bad spell 3.5 hours/week by any means). Also, to cycle around Cumbrae at least every second time I'm at the caravan for a weekend (pref in addition to wii fit).

Weight goals are 3-4 stone by my August holiday. So 1.5-2 stone by the end of April. After the August holiday, I'd like to lose another stone before the December holiday.

I need to do this for my health and self esteem as well as to fit into my clothes for holiday.

Good luck to everyone and thanks Nat!

i have ALOT,of weight to lose,so i have decided,to take extreme measures & go on lipotrim.
i have my 1st weigh in,on wed & i really hope,it has been worth it,as this week,has been tough!
we take our grandaughter,on some lovely holidays,hawaii,florida,san francisco,mexico & she has not got 1 photo,of me,her & hubby together,on these fabulous holidays,to look back on,when we have gone.it really hurts,when i sit & think about it!
i just want to be able to swim with her & feel confident about doing so & to be in the family photos,so she will always remember,the great holidays we have!
we go to turkey in sept,i would like to lose 7 stone before then,but will also,think of it,in smaller amounts,so it's not so daunting.
please wish me luck,as i wish you all luck

Hi
As DW is following the Paul McKenna diet I figure I'm going to be following it anyway.
I did lose a couple of stone and put it back on again. It's a change in life style I need to adopt or I'll only yo-yo again so the Mckenna diet looks like a good way to go.

Wishing you all the luck in the world, Tracy. I don't know anything about lipotrim, but you look after yourself. You're a great Nana

I have a lot of weight to lose so I am planning on just losing a stone at a time. I am doing the scottish slimmers diet, but I'm not going to classes. Will be weighing in on a Tuesday. The reason I am losing weight is because I want to feel better about myself and also I will be 30 in 2 years time and want to have lost the extra weight by then.

Good Luck Everyone!

I've got the Paul McKenna Books and Cd's at home and the principles work really well actually but I also found it really helpful to download the cd's onto my MP3 player and then go to sleep at night listening to it.

I often felt different in the morning and wasn't so obsessed with food like I am usually but DH used to get fed up because i'd still be eating my meals half an hour after he'd finished

Good luck
