Well done Katie! I always say a STS is as good as a loss because it still keeps you motivated and on track. Keep up the good workMy weigh in was this morning and i managed a STSVery very happy and determined for my month challange.
Team 2 !!!Slate your weight!!!
- Thread starter Meike
- Start date
OK here goes. I know a few of you already know me, or know of me, but for the benefit of those who don’t, here’s a brief profile of who I am, where I’ve come from and where I want to be.
My name is Gerry and I live near Belfast, Northern Ireland. I work for an Aloe Vera based health & nutrition company as an IT & Multimedia manager. I am 42 and am married, for the second time, with two kids and we currently have my 20 month old grandson living with us.
After experiencing a few health issues, some more serious than others, I knew it was time for me to start doing something about my lifestyle. To be honest, although I knew my health was at risk it probably came down to a vanity thing which made me start my journey. I had some pictures taken in September of last year and it was when I saw these pictures that I got really upset and realised that I was just kidding myself and that the idea that I had that I wasn’t really that fat was so far from the truth. How wrong was I? At that stage I was at my heaviest weight of 20st 9lbs!
So I set about following the Weight Watchers plan from home and I don't attend meetings. I also started doing some light exercise and most importantly drinking 2 litres of water each week day.
Today I am 17st 1lb and feel amazing.
The help and support on minimins has been invaluable and I have made many friends along the way.
My weigh in day (done at home) is usually on a Sunday.
That is all.

Welcome to the team G man!
Welcome to the team G man!
Welcome to the team Tessa!!
You are right, it is so easy to fall back into the old habits, well done for realising it early and doing something!
And WW is ideal to learn about healthy food, exercise and how to deal with those oh-too-well-known “days-off” or “special occasions”
- that is exactly what we’re all hoping to archive in the end, a healthy relation to food and to the needs of our body! Oh, and slate your weight is just a slogan/name for our team like "team loser" or "going going gone" or "fat fighters" of the other teams!
Well done girls! You make me proud!!
Keep it up!! And Anna, I will put your points down in the first entry tomorrow!Thanks for the introduction Gerry! and again: welcome to the team!
I couldn’t have said it better!! Many thanks Kally!! xxx

OH YAYYYYYYY!
I can't believe I landed on the team with all you lovely lovely people. You would not believe how excited I am because secretly I hoped I would be in it with you lot. Your all really good at losing weight and your so motivated it keeps me going.
I lurve it EEEeKKKKkkk *excited*
I know recently I have been forum shy but to be honest I only occassionaly get on the computer and I do pop my head in to how your all doing. I will deff have to come here more now that I'm part of your team
*my Into*
My name is Becky. I am 25 from the West Midlands. I am a stay at home mum of 3 and have been for the past 7 years while working as a barmaid between pregnancies.
Prior to that I was a PA and administrator for a property surveyor and also worked as the company receptionist.
I am married to my wonderful hubby Neal and have been for the past 7 years (got married at 18)
When I met him I was approximately 13/14 stone. My joining weight was 17 stone 9.5lb and that was on the 19th of Jan 2010. I have lost 12.5lb in the last 5 weeks and my weight now is 16st 11lb. I hit my 5% last week. I have a very long way to go and my goal weight is anywhere under 12 and half stone. My weigh-ins are on Tuesday nights so I will get on later and post for sure. *hoping for 1lb loss*
I do my exercise dvd's (only occassionally jsut lately) and I do aqua fit twice a week as well as the long long walk there and back plus endless trips here and there so I clock up about 15 points a week in exercise.
I am really determined to stick at it as my kids mean more than the world to me and I want them to have a yummy mummy to look up to.
I will check back in tonight after my weigh in and post my weight loss/gain.
Go Team Slate The Weight!!!!
Oh and can I be Lyn please? lol.

Hey Becky!! Welcome to the Team!! :grouphugg:
and: WOW, that is EXACTLY the feedback I'd like to get for my team!!Woooohooo!!! *proud is*
Well done on your loss so far - we're fairly similar from the looks of it! Let's keep it rolling!
Do you have any target you want to get to by the end of March?
15 activity points is brilliant, do you tend to eat them or keep them working towards your weightloss? as I am slowly starting to go jogging again I will have to think about that, too. But guess I'll tend to keep them towards the weightloss, or for emergencies
Good to have you here and good luck for tonight!!
