blonde poker forum

Took the plunge and signed up today. Will update progress on blog. Anyone up for a forum fat club :)

Well a lot of people have used the forum in a past to track thier progress, so probably yes.

Good luck with the diet , I'm sure joining up will give you an added incentive  :) i know it helped my mum and sis .

Boo!

Slimming World is better, WeightWatchers limits your food and when I went on it it made me miserable, Slimming world makes me feel great!

Seriously though, well done for signing up and good luck with the weight loss, it's a great feeling when you know you're succeeding. I wish you all the best.

Let us know how you get on

Poppet x

I wanna get under 13.5 stone.

As RED_DOG rightly pointed out at the bash, I'm getting poker players disease.

I disagree but each to their own, I have found WW fantasic in the past and have every intention of going back very soon (but my sister uses SW and it works for her)

Good Luck!

Was 14s 5lb, got bike, now 12s 13lb.

Sorry, but the atkins is the way to go!

Are their any diets where you don't have to give up drinking wine ?

 ;ashamed;

Yes its the one called being happy with yourself and not influenced by others. You can only succeed if you are doing it for yourself. Brutal but true.

red-dog you said you got that bike for nothing from a skip

so far it has cost you 20LBs

well done

;applause; ;applause; ;applause; :)up

So I need to get 3 bikes?  ;goodvevil;

I too had bought a bike during the summer and decided after BB3 that i needed to do something to lose a bit of weight and so decided to cycle the 10 mile trip to and from work. However i have now decided that i would rather be overweight and alive than thin and dead and i am back within the safer surroundings of my car of a morning.

I will wait for better opportunities to use my bike than riding from one side of manchester to the other twice a day during rush hour!!

Looked into it and just found WW to be a bit easier on the eye, You can pretty much have anything but in moderation.

I'm weighing out, giving up the smoking instead instead (maybe).

I like pies more than fags, easy choice.

Well done, I have been trying to lose some weight for a while and just got back down to my start weight.

Keep it up x

The bike from the skip??

Yep, that's the one.

I bought a little computer gismo that tells you how far/fast you go. Last month I did 350 miles.

Well done Gatsby...keep it up!  ;applause;

A couple of years back I ballooned up to 17 stone but managed to lose two stone over a period of four months.

This was indirectly due to weight watchers because, although I never went to one of their meetings, I got hold of one of their calculators which tell you how many points every food is.  I used this to track what I ate each day ( love gadgets! ) and just followed a set dailypoints limit.

Gradual loss of couple of pounds each week and thankfully it's stayed off since too.

Another reason for me to drive carefully on that B4114 then!!!    ;angelic;

Going to the meeting is half the fun as the only bloke in a class of 56 women.
Christmas party should be fun ;)

Go on Gats :) Keep up the good work.  I replied to your mail, thanks for the good wishes :).

Hello Red :).  Hope you are well. Are you going to Singapore for the BAPT?

I will if you come with me!

See you there then  ;)

You're bluffing

I never bluff  :D.

OK, I fold  :(

Grrrrrrr!!!  :D :D

You dont know what you are missing  :P

I do though, thats the worst part.

Now if you will excuse me, I have an appointment with a bag of frozen peas.

LOL!!!!

PS, I can manage Walsall on Saturday if that's any good.  ;tightend;

LOL - You havent been playing the badbeat dream team then? Its the live final sat...

Iwan Jones and Jeff Burke don't often feature in my dreams.

LOL! Im sure our paths will cross again my friend.  If you get to Singapore I will buy you a drink :).

Good luck Zelda.....  sigh.

Thanks :) and to you...

Well Done UK............Keep it up  8)

Ang x x

Well done...
keep it up

nice one. how are you finding it?

Ty Ty :)

finding it ok at the moment. WW for those who dont know is based on a daily points system where everything has a points value. The points you are allowed are determined by

a) sex
b) age
c) starting weight
etc

so obviously i get a lot more points daily than say a 20 year old lady who weighs 9 stone and wants to lose 10 lbs

Nothing is forbidden but treats have higher points values so its just about moderation and being sensible. I havent actually started proper exercise yet as am trying to maintain 2 lbs per week loss so will exercise more as i get lighter.

The big moment will be once i have lost a lot more and am sticking rigidly and barely losing as obviously the more you lose the slower it happens. There is no way on earth that the final 1.5 stone will come off in 5 weeks.

Cant speak highly enough of Weightwatchers. Felt really strange joining up and then attending the meeting afterwards and sitting there in a hall full of women as the only guy but after 5 weeks it feels normal and comfortable.

The Christmas Party should be fun ;)

Well done so far and good luck with the rest of it.  ;applause;

Well done, keep it up! You're doing great!

Another 2.5lbs tonight (Week 07)
Thats 25.5 lbs altogether :)

Nice one Gatsby, that's great ;applause;
