Parentise Weight Watchers Club....

Who's in?

We can have a weekly weighing session, use this as a form of diary and confess our food sins :tongue:

I REALLY need the motivation, so pleeeeeeeeeeeeease join

I'm in! I weighed this morning, and although I wont reveal the number, I will give a weekly weigh in of up or down. Hopefully more down than up!!!!

Great thread!!!!

Coooool

Who else, come on ladies...you know you want too? x

I am in, too!!!!

Cool Lets do a short profile:

Name: Toffee

Age: 21

Height: 5ft 6

Weight (optional):10 stone (140 pounds)

BMI: 22.63 (in normal range)

Target weight loss: 10-12 pounds

Reason for losing weight: General health, depression, to tone up.

Weakness's: Chocolate, crisps, chips (fries), any fast food! I'm lazy! Now I can drive, I don't do anything!

Type of exercise: Have a fitness kit; weights, mini trampoline, stretches on a matt, foot stepper and exercise ball.

I'd so be in on this if I wasn't pregnant. My weight shot up after I quit smoking and I was trying and failing to get it down before I caught... oh well, I'd rather have a baby than a nice body!

Yeah, so would I hehe. However, for now a baby is not on the cards

So fitness first in my case hehe. I'm hoping it will help my fertility in the long run (that's if I keep at it).

well, I'm starting weight watchers again. I have a HORRIBLE cold right now so no workouts for me for a few more days. Getting hot seems to agitate my cough. My goal is to drop this weight before Owen's first birthday in June so I can wear cute little shorts and focus on my child instead of being self conscience about my size!!!! That means about 1 pound a week and that is TOTALLY do-able!!!!

Sooooo, Toffee, are you officially starting now or are you waiting until New Year's? I decided to start yesterday. No sense in putting it off any longer!!!!!

I'll be starting on the 2nd of January lol. We're having a take away tomorrow night for new years eve and on new years day my Mum's doing a buffet. So I figure after that hehe

A pound a week sounds great, I may do that myself! Not too much pressure and by the time I'm 22 I should have lost 10 pounds which is my target weight!

This is a GREAT idea Toff,thanks for sahring,I won't be in sadly coz I eat crap all the time,BUT I am pretty much back to my goal weight,give or take a few lbs and for now I just have too much on my plate for weight loss but I would love to watch and cheerlead you ladies!Not that you need it much!

Here's my short profile:

Name: Nicki

Age: 31

Height: 5ft 8

Target weight loss: 10-15 pounds

Reason for losing weight: Some pregnancy weight left, wanting to have my clothes fit they way they used to.

Weakness's: Food (I love to eat and cook - not necessarily unhealthily, but a lot); I am still nursing so I can't lose too much too fast; stress (too busy with family, baby, new job, dissertation)

Type of exercise: Love to jog/run, play table tennis competitively, play tennis, do Tae Bo. I have a weight bench and free weights at home and Tae Bo DVDs.

Oh, I will be starting January 5, that's when I will be back in the US from our trip to Germany...until then I am enjoying the good food! :lol:

I am also shooting for a pound a week!!! And hope to have lost all the rest of the baby weight and toned up and back to shape by Kian's first birthday. Better hurry... :lol:

Ok here goes


Name: Lou Lou

Age: 30

Height: 5'3"

Weight - Goal is to lose 20 pounds

Reason: uhhh it's extra baby weight.... yeah..... that's what it is......

Weakness: Boredom eating. Not always conscience of portion. Chocolate.

Type of Exercise: I usually walk - either on treadmill at gym or at the park with Owen.

Nicky - we have about the same time frame and goal so maybe we can REALLY cheer on another on!!!!

Lou Lou -- That would be great!!! Let's do it....

Well, last night we went to a really nice restaurant and I only ate half of my meal. I was proud of myself.
Today I met a friend for lunch and I got soup and 1/2 sandwich and I only ate about half of it.....
Small steps, people, smaaaaall steps!!!!

I'm so ready to get over this cold so I can get into the gym. My body and my brain needs it!!!!!

Well I'm starting tomorrow...

gonna take healthy snack bars into work so that I don't eat the cookies! Or pieces of fruit.

I'd love to lose 1 pound per week, it would be so managable and steady. Fast weight loss isn't good for the body!

Should we try and do set days where we exercise? Or will that be too tricky. I'm flexible (time wise, not body wise lol)

I don't know, Toffee. I am a bit less flexible in that on Tuesdays and Thursdays I am at work from 8-5 and then I come home, spend some time with little Kian and start prepping my courses for the next day. So those days I haven't been able to workout as much last semester. So I am not sure if I'll be working out on those days or not - it's time permitting. :lol:

On another note: are we posting our daily workout sessions and eating successes (can't think of a better word) and then our weekly weigh ins in this thread? Should we decide on a day for a weekly weigh in?

That's fine, perhaps just do an end of week workout summary

Yeah, when would you like to start? I'm starting tomorrow! I'm going to exercise Monday, Weds and Fridays for upto an hour. An hour being my target, but we'll see at first lol. My hours are all over the place, and cause I only have 20-30 hours per week I'm usually not in til 2pm.

Toffee -- I will start Monday when I am back home.

Great Leeaman! I'll also start on Monday!

Yaaaay :-)

So what day is weigh in? I usually do mine on Monday simply because it's incentive to be "good" over the weekend!!!
So maybe on weigh in day (what ever you guys want it to be) We can say +/-, when we worked out, etc and any other accomplishments. Sometimes you don't lose weight buy you didn't eat the brownie! I need someone to pat me on the back when I don't eat the brownie!!

I'm hoping that my goal of keeping my house clean and organized will keep me out of the kitchen. So far it's working.
I got one of my Christmas trees down today instead of eating left over Christmas goodies. (I tossed those goodies today!)

Amanda, glad to see you around and joining us! The more the merrier!

Monday can be weigh in day :-)

I'm going swimming on Monday with a friend, and then will fill the other 2 hours up with exercise at home.

Youtube has some exercise vids on there I believe, will take a look at them soon! Or I'll download some.

Oh! Cool idea about youtube!
Well, I'm down a pound! I've been watching what I eat since the day after Christmas.... so basically in one week I lost 1 pound! Let's just see if I can keep it off!!!!
