So good luck to everyone !
And no it isn't quite as simple as gulliverfoyle say you have to be in the right frame of mind too !
Any serious tips from people who have successfully lost weight over the last years? I know I have to cut down on the crap I eat and just eat the healthy stuff. Probably reduce my beer intake too. I do cycle, walk and play tennis quite a bit already.
Btw I'm male and in my late 40s
When I lost a lot I was very low carb and no sugar at all. I can say it works but it has come at a serious price, so this time I am calorie counting without taking a food group out of the equation not tried it yet so can't make any recommendations.
I'm in a similar predicament. 56 years old and need to lose a stone and ideally two.
I plan to cut down drastically on carbs and SUGAR which is going to be traumatic to say the least but I've already decided to do it so that's half the battle. The only exercise I enjoy is jogging so that will be added at the same time . I plan to kick-off the torture on my return to work on 5th Jan. I'm taking things easy now and making sure I'm not being stupidly greedy in the meantime .
The wife's convinced that I'm going to get some form if diabetes if I carry on the way I have been doing . That's scary .
That's more or less my plan but I LOVE potatoes and bread sooooooo much
My aim for 2015 will be to lose another 20+ pounds.
What are other people's plans with this?
That sounds like a good idea as I weigh myself every morning and some days I'm a pound lighter and then other days I'm a pound heavier even after eating carefully.
Got about another 50 or so to go ; currently at 14st 6lbs!
Good luck to everyone else!!!
I like to lose a pound or two each week and weigh same time each week in same clothing, I know some weeks hormones will mean I don't lose but I just keep plodding on.
This year though I really want to get to it. I feel like I've made enough excuses and need to actually start doing something about it. In December I started going to group fitness classes a few times a week as I find this easier than motivating myself at the gym on my own. I just need to sort out my diet a bit now I think.
Same for me but this year I plan to actually try. My initial target is a 4lb loss by the end of January. It's going to be hard.
I see WW are doing low carb, has anyone here tried it,.
What are the 'rules' here, when is weigh in day?
i need support, and I hope I can back on track this year, I should add that I 70yrs old, and I have T2 diabetes, ideally I would like to lose another 3 stone. My daughter has told me that the body finds it own weight, and that as I am no longer losing weight I must have reached my natural weight, but I don't agree with her.
A photo that was taken on Chrisgmas day has given me enough of a shock to be used as a kick up the backside to try to lose weight.
Sorry for the essay.
I have a fair bit to lose (won't know how much until my first official weigh-in as I have not be weighing myself whilst pregnant!).
Ideal weight would be 9st. I am 5ft 1in.
I was 10st 7lbs at my booking appointment when I was 8 weeks pregnant and that was the last time I was weighed so I am thinking 3st + to lose
Some rough calculations and I think I could do 3st between March and end of Dec 2015. Based loosely on losing a lb a week which is more than doable.
I plan to do a lot of walking, eat low GI, use MFP to meal plan and to allow myself the occasional treat to avoid feeling deprived.
I have successfully lose weight before (almost 3st in 2006 and I did keep it off for many years!) so I know I can do it but it's all about having your mind in the right place.
The most important thing for me now is to enjoy my final weeks of pregnancy and those early days with my new baby - I will not even be thinking about weight loss until things are settled and I feel physically up to it but I just thought I'd note my intentions here and say Howdy to everyone!!

You could give SW another try. They have changed their plans a little bit and put more emphasis on lean proteins, fruits and vegetables. Extra easy is more or less the same but they have a new plan called Extra Easy SP which is mainly speed foods (fruit and veg) and protein.
You can still have your carbs if you want them but they are definitely more limited on SP. A few people in my group that are diabetic seem to like the new plan as the focus is on the food that will be good for them.
There is no weigh in day on this thread. People weigh in different times of the week and not always weekly so you can just update your progress when/if you want to.
Anyway - got another 2.5st to go in 2015 and I will be at my goal weight. I'm aiming to get there by September/October if my previous weight loss pattern is anything to go by.
Good luck all you "losers" out there!
