new chick
 

hello, i'm not exactly in the uk (ireland) but thought i could sneak in here too. Current weight 15st 12lb (lost 4lbs last week.. can't wait to start my ticker so i can visualize it properly!) i would love to get to 10st 2lb thats a round 6 stone ( ha! i say that like its easy!!) this is what i weighed at my slimmest 10 years ago but would really love to see 9st anything on the scales. 9st 7lb pounds is an even 90lbs so i think i'll stick to this and maybe go for 10st 2lb as a mile stone. i've set myself a few mini goals to get me started weightwatchers use 5% and 10% goals so i'll start there. fat chick to 'skinniminni'! here goes ......

Hello Skinni, I am trying to get back to nine stone 4lbs, but 10 stone would be brilliant at the moment.

Everyone here is supportive and it's a great place to chat to people who have the same problems.

Good luck

Michele

thanks michele, i hope i'm not aiming too high but whats that old saying shoot for the stars! i've been overweight for a long time now and i'm a mum too, so i have stretched etc over the years i'm just hoping my skin will shrink back if/ when i lose the weight. its amazing how the weight creeps up, few pounds, then a stone, 2 stone, then you just say feck it i'm already fat...... not anymore i'm a new me now, there are so many people on here who have been the same or around the same weight as me and have lost what i want to lose, now i know its possible. i'm taking inspiration from you and people like you on here, you have done fantastic on your weight loss journey well done:cp: :cp: :cp: :cp:

Hi! Skinniminni

Welcome to Slim Land.

Since January, on a Low Carb plan, I lost 29 then nothing happened for weeks (not happy) and then I decided to start the South Beach plan In Mar. as it seemed to be the healthiest for me and I lost 6 pounds half-way through Phase 1.... the miracle, I not always hungry! (example: at 14.30 today, I realised that I needed some lunch, only eggs at 9am) For me, battling hunger is half the battle.

What has helped me lose the 29 was tangible things - skinny photo of me (or someone else) and clothes. I had my size 14 cropped jeans sitting there waiting for me to wear them for months, I am wearing them today.

Go for it! You will be so glad you did!

PS when you work out how to do a ticker, can you let me know - thanks!

:welcome3: and all the best with the weight loss, the ladies on here are fab with loads of advice and support:D:D:D.

See you around xxx

I'm new too! Welcome and good luck! x
