Glad you said this, I've wondered what your name was but always feel funny asking in case you've already said.
Hi Charlene
I'm Donna, I have a little boy who's 4, his name's Mack. He's a little monster as well.
I'm 24 and currently unemployed but over the past year I've done a tonne of voluntary work in schools, hoping to get a job in a secondary school over the next few months. There's one coming up in the school I volunteered at last year and I loved it there, so would be great to actually start work properly there.
I started slimming world a few weeks before Easter 2011 and got to my 9 stone target the week before Christmas last year. I would like to loose a couple more lbs then that but until that happens I'm happy where I am.

Lol honeypop is an old email I made in 2003 and its just always stuck.
I'm not working either. But I'm lucky that Eva's dad can support us both so I can stay home and look after her. She's on a few meds that prevented me from wanting her in care.
I would love to get back into working. But wanna better my education first
Where r u from?
Are you the one that's expecting again? X
Hi Charlene (and Donna)...part of me feels slightly like I should be at an AA meeting starting off like that lol!
I'm Jenna, 24 and from just outside Belfast.
I'm a supply teacher at the minute (as there are no jobs here, and I'm a homebird), this is now my 3rd year of teaching.
I started SW in March of this year after seeing pics of myself at a hen party when I looked like I had eaten the Hen. The hen herself had done SW and had lost 2 stone after having a baby and was still enjoying the odd night out etc so I thought that's for me. I haven't looked back...though I have slid back. So close to target now (well what I think will be target but knowing me I'll get there and blooming change it) and just want to get there.

Hey ho everyone. Debbie is the name and i am 33 years young ;o) have little boy who is nearly 3yrs. I have always been "small" to others - fluctuating between 8-8st 7lb but when i stopped smoking i became pregnant quickly and put on over 3stone, yes a lot of it was baby weight and i was greedy during pregnancy. I guess the baby weight didnt come off as easy as i wanted it too but probably the biggest thing was the changes to my body hence the suttle introduction of excercise. I would like to be 8st by xmas but more importantly i want to get into a way of life with excercise where my tummy becomes really toned - give that jillian michaels a run for her money hahahahaha

I'm the same with my target I keep being tempted to change it but I'm comfortable enough for now where I am
I'm from Doncaster (South Yorkshire) no its Nikki that's expecting. I'd love another one but now isn't the right time for us, I want to be comfortably in work and we want to get married first as well, so a good few years until Mack will have a little brother or sister. Also my boyfriend isn't Mack's dad, we didn't see the point in rushing to have one together like a lot of people I know who'd met new partners after having children. We've been together 3 years now and are happy with how we are for now
Aww bless her, I hope the meds aren't anything serious. It's great that you can be a full time mummy though I did do full time work for a year when Mack was 9 months but gave it up as I was just missing out on so much of his life, but now he's in full time education I feel its the right time to go back, plus the extra money would be great.

Hi Charlene
Im Kim an intensive care nurse from North Dorset & am falling apart at the seams lol!
Started SW in November '10 after piling on loads of weight waiting for a cervical discectomy (slipped disc in my neck) that I had in the September. I lost 2 st 11lbs taking me to target of 8st 7lbs & I did that with little exercise. Went back to work, took up cycling & had problems again with my neck requiring another cervical discectomy last November & went back up to 10st 7lbs......discovered baking & ate too many of my own cakes! So, that takes us to January of this year....are you all bored yet?!.....got down to my target of 8st 11lbs in July, maintained for a while & then took my eye off the ball as we had to do a lot of travelling up North to visit a dear friend in a Hospice who sadly died at the end of September. Weight wise, I'd put on 8.5lbs!
So my last blow out food & alcohol wise, was her funeral as she wanted us to all celebrate her life, which we all did in true military fashion (hubby is a Royal Marine).....SW commenced on Friday 5th October.
Im not drinking again until next April as supporting my hubby who isnt allowed due to work commitments & so far so good.....30 days alcohol free!!!
I've put my goal weight as 8 stone for the 3rd May next year as that is a big birthday for me & DH wants to throw me a big party, so a girls got to look her best at 50!!!!! Cant believe Im that age, as it only seems 5 minutes ago I was out most weekends partying with my friends, getting drunk & doing things I shouldn't have......nurses like to party hard!!!
Anyway, whether 8 stone is achievable or not, we shall find out, as I'll see how I look at 8.7 & go from there as I dont want to look scrawny! We're also going out to Abu Dhabi next May/June time to visit my stepson & his wife & I'll need to look good in a bikini.....dont think I look to bad for my age, so have no qualms about wearing a 2 piece.....hubby doesn't seem to mind either lol!
Have always loved running, so my legs are in pretty good shape, but my new found love is cycling as its kinder on the joints & after 2 neck surgeries I cant run as much as I would like! My weight tends to sit around my middle, so cycling is a good all round CV workout & I hope to get rid of my kangaroo pooch by nexy year to strut down that beach!
Blimey I do rabbit on sometimes, but you did ask lol!!!

Just back from the GP & its as I thought.....trochanteric (hip) bursitis! So, I have to rest, ice packs, painkillers, anti inflammatory gel & physio. Boohoo, no cycling or running for me until I've no pain & seen the physio in 2 weeks! Might do a little research into some Pilates exercises, as the GP did recommend some inner core work, which I know will be good for me especially for toning my abs as well as supporting the hip muscles.
One good thing did come out of visiting the GP......she said this condition is common in slim, female runners lol! Me slim!

ATM that would be my worst nightmare. Being told that I couldn't exercise as I've become addicted to exercising now lolI hope u get relief soon, yes Pilates is good and can be relaxing. My tummy muscles killed afterwards.
Wheyheyyy for being slim!!
Ugh Kim that's wick about your hip but at least you know what's up now and are on the road to fixing it
Just back from a 3 mile walk, was a lovely walk..nice crisp morning but I spent half of it in fear of dogs off their leads. A dog literally has to walk towards me and I freak out, it doesn't help when people let their dogs bound all over the place off their leads!!!

Charlene, Im 5'1", so at 8st my BMI would 21.2, which is smack bang in the middle of a healthy weight. However, being older I dont want to look scraggy lol!
What scares you about dogs Jenna? Maybe you should try meeting some dogs to see that they're not scary! Normally if the owner has the dog off the lead, it will be a well behaved dog, so try not to worry. Cant you tell I have a dog! She's a beautiful 'white' Golden Retriever called Charlie

lol Kim, I've always been scared of them, I'm scared of animals in general. I actually went swimming with dolphins and nearly freaked the first few times it came near me...I mean who is scared of a bloody dolphin?!?!
My mum's allergic to animal hair so I never had any pets growing up and I think it's fear of the unknown plus the way they bark...they sound like they want to eat your face off. I wouldn't mind if said well behaved dogs kept themselves to themselves but when they come over and want to play with me it does not a happy Jenna make! Granted, it does improve my walking speed haha!

You need some 'flooding' therapy with dogs Jenna, cos you dont know what you're missing with them, as they give you unconditional love. There is nothing lovelier than Charlie greeting me at the door with a stuffed toy in her mouth when I come in......she also keeps me company along with cat in bed at night when hubby away during the week!
