Anyone with a lot of weight to loose here? 6 stone plus??

As you can see from my join date, i've started and failed a number of times. In my own defense i have had 2 babies in the time since i joined originally!!! but i also have 2 babies worth of weight to loose.

I know that i'm only cheating myself when i 'Cheat'
I know i have to do something as i'm so depressed about my weight and appearence. I used to kid myself that i'm still beautiful even though i'm big!!! What a joke. I know its not true as i have no pictures of me 'big'. I'm always the one behind the camera or busy in the other room when the camera comes out!!! How many people on here can relate to that??? probably most of us!!

I have 10 stone exactly to loose. thats over half my body weight!!!!!!!!!!! Its a whole other person!!!!!!!

I will do it this time. I'm in a better place right now and i'm taking advantage of it.

I've got a diet coach (well a friend at work who keeps me talking and away from the biscuits in the kitchen)

I've got my exercise time before work every day (ok so i'm up at 5.30 and near sleeping in my kit ...but hey i'm doing it)

I've got the wii fit /zumba/ rosemary (condersenting mare) there to use

And most of all i've got my boys to do this for.

If it takes 5 years it takes 5 years, but i vow that i will end this year lighter then i started it... and every year until i make it....

Ok so that sounded a little like a manifesto but its where i'm at

Hi

babycake its like i read my own post. I also fell pregnant whilst trying to loose weighr (lucky really) and havent seemed to shift it. 2 babies down aged 3 and 1 and still vowing to myself to do this but life just keeps getting in my way i cant seem to control emotional eating!!! Any tips?
As a result i refused to have a photographer at my wedding and have no photos of myself and my kids!! Sad eh that alone should make me change.

As you Said i will do it this time its no longer a race but its to make sure Im here for my kids.

Hi this is my 1st post , i never tell anyone my weight,
I started on the 17/2/13 and weighed in at 24st 3lbs. (it shocked me) the heaviest i have ever been ! At that point i knew i had to do something.no more tears no more excuses, theres been many ups and downs in my weight loss journey i have been trying for years to loose weight but this time im in it for keeps im very determined.
My goal is 17 stones to start with = BMI35 a loss of 7st3lbs which means i can see the fertility specialist my actual goal !! I am now 26.5lbs lighter in 9 weeks and still going my goal is another 15.5 lbs before June. any words of wisdom support is greatly recd :)

Hey Vicky How are you getting on?
 
Hi thanks everyone for the support, Since i started on 17/2 i now go swimming twice a week, play netball (GS) at least once a week which i have always done. on a saturday i go to my local upbeat class, we are all in the same boat, bmi over 30 discuss our eating/drinking habits then exercise for about an hour, we do a circuit class , i need pushing even tho im the biggest one there i am also the fittest. i have the trainer push me to my limits, and my quads kill every week until tuesday night because of all the squatting so bad steps kill me for days

It can be done!

I now weigh 7st 3lbs (can't update my stats on the left as I use my phone).

I lost about 8 and a half stone in total. My goal was 9 stone but once I was in the swing of things it was easy to get to 8 stone and since then I've not been trying to lose, it's like my body has found its natural weight. When I eat more I gain a couple lbs but when I go back to eating normally it drops right back off.

In case anyone is also on a phone and can't see my height in my stats I am only 5ft tall so not underweight :eek:)

I just wanted to say good luck and I'm proof it can be done and I have been maintaining for nearly a year now (nearly 2 years since I hit my original goal of 9 stone) so if you learn new habits it can stay off.

Babycake - I could have written that myself!!! It looks like you are in a really really good place right now - ready to tackle the world - open a diary if you haven't already - Minimins is the best place to be - the supporting, friendship and the ups and downs will keep you focused and motivated, I wish you great luck and look forward to sharing your journey with you xxx
 
Babycake - In an ideal world I have 11 stone to lose!! Can't believe I've let it get this far. But as you and many other have said it will take a lot of time and effort. This certainly seems the place we can help each other out. Good luck :)

I've around 8 stone to loose. So a very long journey for me. Lost 8 stone before in 6 months on lipotrim shakes but within 1.5 years I'm back up 8 stone again. I'm convinced its because I couldn't train my brain to eat heathy during the shakes and that's why it's back on. I'm currently a size 28. I'm 32 and long to have my own children. I'm not getting any younger so need to loose weight to help me conceive naturally as we have been trying for 9 years had all the tests and they can't find anything wrong so put it down to my weight. So I need to do this! Plus I want to get the wedding booked after I've lost 3 stone. That's my first goal 3 stone = a booked wedding for 2014 :)

Anyone else with ALOT to loose ?

I have 11 stone to loose, to get down to my ultimate. I think I have been in denial for many years telling myself that I'll be ok as long as I do it before I'm 30...but 30 is fast approaching and I have such a long way to go. I too did a shake diet, lighter life, although it was amazing and I lost 4 stone, like you say it doesn't train your head and gradually over two years it crashed back on. I'm finally with someone who I want to start a family with and like you the reason it seems to not be happening is due to weight. When you're a kid you think having children will be the natural and easiest thing to happen in the world, sort of a given. More than anything I seem to be putting my life on hold by carrying this weight. I want to happy and healthy and feel confident to do whatever I choose. That isn't going to happen at the size 24/26 that I am. It's crazy that at 27 I've NEVER been able to buy a pair of top shop or river island jeans due to always being plus size! Time to make a change. Look forward to following your diary and offering help and support where I can :) x

Hi CharliPag - you are on a really low amount of calories - I'm no expert but I really think you should have a rethink because as the weight drops you will probably need to drop calories to keep the weight loss consistent - how do you decide to eat 1,200 cals per day?
 
I have between 7 and 8st to loose. I could do more but I'd just be going extra slim for the sake of the numbers on the scales.

I am going back to Lighter Life tomorrow evening I'm really looking forward to it. I did it successfully in 2009 loosing over 5st in 5 months
 
Will defo join the roll call.

Sarah weigh day sun about 7-8st to lose. Re started today so 1st week here we go.

Just want to add another good luck message too. Remember, a healthy positive attitude will result in a healthy positive start!
