Newbee!!

Hi everyone

1st time on here today. Hopefully this is the start of a new me, done all the other slimming groups weightwatchers slimming world etc and always put it back on. Here's hoping this one works for me. Today on the scales I am 16 stone 13lbs and I would love to loose 5 or 6 stones but that seems a long way off so I'll be happy with one at a time. Fingers crossed for this week's loss.

Hi Shortcake69,

Welcome to the forum. I hope you'll enjoy being part of this community. Have you read our Welcome Newbie thread, that was put together by Moreless (a lovely member of the forum):

We do have a Monday group weigh-in, and today's Morning session is already in progress and there are some very motivating posts, if you want to take a look. You may prefer to do your own weigh-in posts separately, and of course that's great too, but if you do fancy being part of a 'group' support set-up, then I would recommend joining us. The important thing is to do what works best for you.

Wishing you a great week ahead.

Hi Shortcake69,

It's my first day as well. I'm 14 stone 12lbs and would like to loose 4 stone. Like you I'm looking at one stone at a time.

I have a day off today, so I'm at home menu planning for the week ahead; I have to hit the supermarket today whilst I'll fully motivated.

I hope we both have a good week.

Hi shortcake its the first time to weigh in for me too today. I am finding all the motivation on here is really helping - I know its only day one but was struggling this afternoon wanting to eat so I came on this and read some posts. Typing stops me eating too! Good luck and fingers crossed for next monday.

Hi and welcome Shortcake

It's a very sensible idea to break your weight loss down into bite sized pieces, it doesn't seem quite so daunting then

The secret is to enjoy your journey and celebrate every success, then your goal weight is just the cherry on the cake

All the very best to you

Thank you moreless I'm looking forward to getting the scale moving in the right direction. ☺
