i am only twelve stone.people say i don't look that big but would like to lose two stone.would love to be slim just like in my younger days.also well done diane for your achievement.xxxxxx(:

I am chuffed I went to a new shop just opened round the corner to me yesterday and got a size 16 skirt. First time in about 10 years!! That keeps you going. Good luck Dianex

Brilliant result Diane!! You must feel so much better for that loss and chuffed at your achievement. I know I could do this diet on my own now and save some money but knowing that it is costing me is giving me an incentive to work hard at losing, plus I go with 2 friends so we are all supporting each other. It does get better though, you don't have to pay when you reach your goal weight, provided you maintain it! LOL Aileenx

Lisa I can imagine it must have been tough! There are so many people who, even with the knowledge that their health could be in jeopardy, do nothing about it...unlike your hubby!! It is wonderful that he chose to join WW (regardless that he would be the minority male!) and stick with it. Fortunately I am only carrying a stone that needs shifting but it WILL go!! LOL Aileenx

I've lost 3 stone so far this year. I had a bit of stomach trouble almost a year ago and have to keep a low fat diet now. Although I found it really hard to lose any weight before, I find cutting out all the chips,crisps, chocolate etc., has worked for me. Still have the odd cake as that is my treat, every now and then. and it hasn't cost me a penny. Just a lot of fear!! Diane

aileen it was a struggle for him.but carrying that excess weight he was told could lead to health problems and even death if he carried on putting on weight.they were straight to the point.it wasn't all diet .he goes to the gym,cycles,swims and goes running every week and he can eat what he wants but not as much and he acan still go out on a friday night and ahave a beer,he wouldn't give the beer up ever.LOLxxxxxxx(:

Wow Lisa that is such an inspiration to know about your husband's weight loss and hear that he is maintaining his goal weight too....Absolutely brilliant when you consider that is a 70 lb loss! Aileenx

LOL!! Well done too Strump! I wish you all the best in your quest and support you through and through. My father in law decided to chuck his fags in the fire one New Year's Eve and quit...that was 30 years ago and he hasn't touched one since....go girl!! Aileenx

my husband did and still goes now and again as he has got down to his gold weight.he was 18st but is now under 13st.so he has lost 5st in just under a year.xxxxxx(:

Hi ya, I started about 6 weeks ago and am really getting to grips with it now. I've lost 8 1/2 pounds so far and feel much better for it...anyone else going to admit that they attend? :o)) Aileenx
