Hello Helen, and welcome. 1lb loss for me this week. A bit disappointed it wasn't more, but at least it's going down!!

Hey guys, wee question... how are you setting your PAT? I'm undecided as to what I plan to do - reason being, for a "healthy" BMI of 25, I should apparently be 12st1lb. My mum is around my height and around this weight and I think she's a wee bit thinner than I'd like to be (on a side note, she's lost 22st to get to this point, having had a gastric band about 10 years ago. One of the main reasons I want to lose weight is because I'm frightened I'm going to end up in the position she was in). I'm thinking somewhere between a BMI of 25 and 30 would be idea for me. Now obviously, my consultant can only recommend a PAT within the healthy BMI range but as we are allowed to decide target ourselves... aaargh! I don't know what to aim for.

Wow - you are all doing really well
Sam, I feel I have so much to lose just to be healthy I'm going to leave my PAT for the forseeable. I was advised that I don't have to decide about this for a while but I have committed to my Club10 target as my first major goal. I think that there will be at least four of those before I feel confident to set a PAT
As you can see from my stats, my journey is going to be a slow one

That actually seems like a more sensible idea Helen! I've been doing various calculations today and have worked out that even 2lb a week would mean most of the way there by the end of the year. Remember hun, it doesn't matter how fast or slow, it's the getting there that counts. I went to SW a good few years ago and I can remember then hitting really big losses for the first month or so and then it slowing right down so if I can manage 2lb I will be delighted! Also, the fact that you've lost over the Xmas and New Year period is fantastic, you should be very proud of yourself missus xx

I agree with Helen - smaller goals and the decide final target later. It makes it less daunting!

Had to go to an earlier WI this week, due to a shift change in work. As I expected, not such a big loss this week, I think in part thanks to having extra HEXs before I realised I'd done it. Still, got 1.5lbs off so happy-one-stone to me still a bit to go for my new front number though x

Well done! The main thing is it's coming off, and as I was reminded this week, if you lose just 1lb a week, then over a year you will have lost nearly 4 stone! And that's definately worth celebrating!
