A new day,a new year,great time to start again to lose weight!
No particular rules,its up to you how you lose weight,alone or with a slimming club. You can post as little or as much as you like,but its encouraging if you share your journey with others.
So come and join us! This could be the year that you win the battle!
 
Its my weigh in day at Slimming World tomorrow,so today I need to be angelic after an awful lot of vdka yesterday. Good job spirits (which is all I ever drink,cant stand wine or beer etc!) are carb free!
Locked away the alcohol now till my birthday end of the month,and intend to get back on track (after a 3.5 lbs gain over Xmas}That was good actually for me,as in pre-diabetic days I normally put on half a stone over the Xmas 🙄🙄
Best wishes to any one who wants to join in.
 
I'm in. I aim to lose 2kg each quarter.
I don't go to a group, but I do go into town to see the Dietician every three months. That's the only time I get to weigh, ordinarily, but I face two challenges this year: Number One is to return to swimming regularly and number two is to not go crazy when I'm in Florida Feb/March. I won't have the dull winter weather to whine about and fresh fruit and vegetable are local and in great abundance! Unfortunately, so are fast food places, diners, cafe's, seafood ("seefood") restaurants... temptations galore!
 
I'm in too. Go back to WW tomorrow. Not setting targets or goals just want to get back to my pre diagnosis weight.
 
I’ll be joining this group properly after April - will be aiming to lose baby weight and the baby weight from my first baby too... ultimate aim pre pre pregnancy weight.
How much I have to lose I’ll have to wait and see

Good luck everyone. I’m sure you’ll all hit your goals 🙂

total weight loss - 3st 9 1/2lbs
 
It was my weigh in day today but spent it at A & E with a broken wrist. Cannot now do my water aerobics/ aerobics class but will attempt my dance class & walking (weather permitting). Having kept to target for 2 years I must have gained the best part of a stone over Christmas as I have been alternately depressed/ bored and restricted as to what I can cook/eat with one hand. Woe is me!
 
I need to lose weight. I have Hashimotos, T2, metabolic syndrome and adrenal fatigue. I have been low carb forever and have not lost any weight. I do not know what to do. The blood sugars keep increasing....

@Dusty48
Brilliant Dusty
I have put 1 kilo on since I cam back to Newcastle
I need to get off my lazy fat butt and do something.
I know I will loose it again when I return to Shanghai at the end of the month.
 
I am too scared to get on the scales now and doubt that I will return to SW class, especially as I have a plaster cast on my arm & wrist (anyone know what one of these weighs?) and cannot return to my exercise regime yet. I was almost no longer diabetic after losing 4 stone but have lost my mojo, maybe my confidence too, since my recent fall. I must say though that going to SW on 'lose weight,feel great', accessed via my doctor, really worked for me up to now, even with my food intolerances.
