Haven’t been able to log in since Thursday evening and wow I have missed a lot...sorry this is going to be long….
Firstly Hello to our new friends, you are all very welcome on here with us and I look forward to getting to know you all xx
Hello girls, would you mind if I joined? I'm 24 and a teacher from Yorkshire. Put the 2 stone I lost at uni back on since being a qualified teacher and decided its time to make a change in the right direction again. Could do with all the motivation I can get
Hi Stephie,
I have a friend who is a teacher so I know how it can be hard in that job to keep on top of your weight as it’s quite sedentary a lot of the time esp in classes and when doing lesson plan/marking. What sort of age children do you teach?
I went from being a very active teenager to an office job sat behind a desk for 40 hours a week so know what it’s like and how easy it is to gain weight and I just wish I’d done something before now x
Hey there, can I join in? I know I'm the wrong side of 20's being as this is my last year as a 20-something, but I have 10 months until you have to kick me out haha
Well let's see, I'm 29 (as you've no doubt gathered by now) and a mum to three gorgeous kids. 12 year old girl, 9 year old boy, and a girl who'll be three next month. They keep me on my toes, let me tell you. In my spare time (when I actually HAVE some of that) I like to read, and I'm a regular fan of karaoke and sing in competitions.
I've been doing SW since Sept. 2011 and have lost 3st 12lb since then. Hoping to hit the 4st mark this Tuesday at WI, and want another 2st by Xmas, and to reach my target by my daughter's Confirmation in March/April, so I have a hard slog ahead of me, with 5st until target, but if I knuckle down and work hard, I suppose it's possible. If I don't reach goal by then, I'll be happy for it to be within sight, and to hit target by my later date of July, to start my Dirty Thirties in slim-style-ee!
Well, that's me!
Lol Mandy, 29 is still in your 20’s so you are very welcome here, I am 27 so one of the oldies on here and I have to say I love a good read too but I can’t sing at all haha
Your losses so far are really good, if I get to one year and have lost almost 4 stone I will be very happy with that…am I reading correctly you’d like to lost two stone more by christmas? If so good luck, I average about 1lb a week so I am aiming for 1 stone by xmas
I also want to hit my 30[SUP]th[/SUP] by feeling and looking great x
Hi all!
Im 22 & re-starting after having my first baby almost 7 weeks ago
Ive done SW before about 2/3 years ago & lost 2 stone & im looking to lose just over 2 stone now.
Need a good bit of motivation as I get bored really easily!! Plus my OH is a massive chocoholic & it's so hard to try & steer clear!
Good luck all & look forward to chatting more

Hi Rach, I see you had a little girl so congratulations!! What did you name her?
One of my main motivators for sticking with SW now (I also did it first a couple of years ago) is that I would love to start a family one day but I want to be a healthy weight first x
Hi everyone. I'm 24, so I'd like to join if you'll have me. Look forward to speaking with you all.
Joe
Hey Joe,
Of course we’ll have you!! How have you found SW so far? x
Hi ladies. There is so much to catch up on it would take me weeks but I've had a good read through. Life has been a bit chaotic this week so had not much chance to get on, went a bit off skew again last week and put 3 on :0 but back at it today! I seem to say that a lot!! X
Hope you are ok? At least you seem to know why you had the gain so hope you’re finding it easier this week. Are you finding WW easier that SW? x
Hi CH – may have missed it as so many posts since I last logged in but hope your WI went well.
I hate eating at others houses too and it’s difficult to take your own thing but good luck at your family (and wow very big!) and you holiday soon at your MILs, I am sure no matter what you lose you’ll look lovely in your wedding dress xx
Had absolutely no sleep last night, chest and stomach pains flared up big style. The same thing happened earlier in the year which landed me in hospital by pushing myself so I've called in sick to work to hopefully avoid the same again!
Hope you are feeling better Clare x
