Healthy eating buddy wanted....i have 3 months to lose weight!

Well it's 3 months until christmas ladies then my hubby and I have decided to start ttc.......eeeeek....can't wait!.........therefore i have 3 months to shift some weight.

Was just wondering whether anyone else planning to shift a few pounds would like to meet me each week on here for a weigh in?!

Thought I'd start my healthy eating on 1st October!

Hi summerlee

i havent been on here for ages, can i join in for the weigh in? my little boy is nearly 7 months now and i'm starting back to work on the 2 december and i would love to shift about 2 stone!

i'm on going on hoilday on mon 5 oct so can i join in when i get back? not looking forward to bearing my flesh by the pool my plan was to have lost all the weight by now but it just hasnt happened.

i need to lose 2 dress sizes, i've gone from a size 12 to a 16 and now my work uniform doesnt fit!!

hope you dont mind me joining in with you both.

Hi summerlee

Ooh how exciting to be ttc again! I feel quite broody sometimes but not sure about OH!

I need to shift the rest of my baby weight. I've about a stone and a half to lose. I have noticed that I'm still losing slowly especially now I no longer have the excuse of sitting on my fat bum whilst breastfeeding but am still eating a lot of rubbish. i've just scoffed a packet of choc buttons!

I'll def join in a weekly weigh in, much cheaper than weightwatchers! Who's going to be our Marjorie Dawes?

Hi rach

that's great!

Aw not sure about a Marjorie Dawes though, I'd have to stuff my face just to get over my nerves if I had to face her lol!

My daughter turned 2 last week so unfortunately i felt it was about time i stopped using " I've just had a baby " as an excuse - hehe!......think may be 2 years is long enough!

If you aim for 7lb a month then you'll be able to shift that stone and a half by christmas!!!! That's the minimum I'd like to lose but obviously i'll have to be sensible so a stone and a half could be my goal too!

Any preference to which day you'd like to weigh in?!

Great to have found a buddy to do this with..........thanks hun

xXx

Morning buddy!

Any day is good for me, so we start on Thurs, should we have a start weigh in then keep it to Thursdays? Don't mind if you wanna do it another day tho.

I've got to be careful I don't start eating like a loon these next few days or it'll be more than a stone and a half i need to lose!

Are you going to be doing some exercising (agh, bad word!) too? I'm not a huge fan but have found a yoga class which I went to last week which killed but was good, especially the relaxation bit at the end and in Nov we're booked on to a 6 week baby and mum buggy bunch workout thing which should be good and we have to walk for half an hour each way to get there to so i'll be bugg*red! Ages ago I also bought these DVDs that have 10 min workouts on (a pilates one and a belly buster one) as I thought they'd be easy to fit in with Sam but I haven't even taken the cellophane off...ooops!

Good to have you to do this with as all my friends are skinny (gggrrrrr) and I have so little will power it's untrue! x x x

A thursday.....

Yep sounds good to me.

Lol at your dvds still in the cellophane....sounds like me!....although the last one i bought was a video!
I may try and persuade my son to bring his wii downstairs so i can have a go on the wii fit!

NICKI - Of course you can join us.......have a fab holiday & check in when you get back & are ready to start.

Do you think the ladies will mind us staying on this board to do our weigh in each week or should we move across to the dieting board?!......

I'm really pleased that I'm not alone in this girls....be good to be there to give each other a bit of moral support!

xXx

Hello girls

Nicki, of course, the more people we have the more moral support we can give! I know excactly how you feel, I wouldn't fit into my uniform at the mo so need to lose a bit before I return to work, which luckily isn't for a while yet.

Hee, hee summerlee, I used to have a Beverly Callard workout video, hilarious and my friend still uses her Jane Fonda workout record!!!!

I was wondering about the dieting forum, I'm sure the ladies on here wouldn't mind but maybe we should go over there really.

Only 2 days to go Summerlee! Have a fab time on your hols Nicki and we'll see you when you get back!

Rach x x x

Hello rach and nicki

and anyone else who would like to join in!

If we weigh ourselves Thursday 1st October then to get our starting weights & then every Thursday after that..............obviously you don't have to say what you weigh now if you don't want.... but each week we can just put how much we have gained....did i say gain....whoops slip of the tongue..... of course i mean LOST...WE CAN RECORD OUR WEEKLY LOSSES!!!!! Woooohooooo!!!

I did try this once before a good month or so ago on the diet board but it didn't work to well, started off 3 of us, then 2, then my scales broke - hahahahaaaaaa......seriously they did....I don't think it was my weight
And my son took his wii up to his room so i couldn't weigh myself on that, so everything went a bit pear shaped............although my body shape is apple but this time things will be different!

WE WILL SUCCEED.............and by christmas WE WILL ALL BE AT LEAST A STONE LIGHTER!

Think it may be better to move across to the dieting board......so I will set up a post especially for us to get us through the first week and then next week I'll set up a separate weighing in Thursday post!

Does that make sense to everyone?..............and does that sound ok?!

xXx

Hello girls

i'm really excited about this, wish i wasnt goin on holiday now so i could get started with you 2!

sounds like a good idea moving across to dieting. are you both following any particular diet are just doing your own healthy eating? i was thinking of trying slimming world but not going to the class as my mum has all the books?

good luck you too and i'll see you on the thursday that i'm back

love

nicki. xxx

Hello again

Just to say I have now set up a thread on the dieting board.......we have another lady already on there who is also up for it.

I was going to try the slimming world one too well as best as i could....without going to the classes!
There's a lady on here called Gail who has been doing really well on it & she has helped me by giving me an idea with what i can & cant eat etc......she is also off on holiday soon but is going to join us when she gets back.

So that's definitley 5 of us!

You have a fab holiday Nicki....stuff your face...have a few drinks....and we'll al be waiting for you over on the dieting board when you return!

Take Care

Hey

All sounds good, thanks for organising it summerlee. Funnily enough I was talking to my mate last night and she's just started slimming world which i've never done. I've tried weightwatchers in past and did ok but bit of a faff. Slimming world sounds easier altho I don't know much so any hints and tips would be great.

Right...I'll see you over on dieting. Have a great hol Nicki x x x
