I've sent in my pm...I really need help getting started.  Since dating Roy and joining team sports here I have eaten and drank more than I ought.  And it's slowly come upon me.  Can't fit into many clothing items so I need to finally begin to look at my habits.  I need help!!!

I got a PM from Balmerhon :

Hi, I've PMd Leah who will activate you shortly. Once you have access (you'll just be able to see the board when you do), you need to read the terms of membership and also do an intro.


So hopefully we will be able to get in soon!

Oh no!  I'm sure it was just an oversight -- PM balmerhon or vnicepeeps again -- we're really not an exclusive club!   ;)

New-Dawn and azroomie, I don't have PMs from you asking to join! Did you PM me or Vnice? Occasionally someone falls thru the cracks... life gets crazy for one of us or Leah... but we don't reject people!!

PM me with your request to join again and I'll get you sorted!

I just joined WW last week, but I haven't anyone to talk to other than my husband, and he can't relate weighing in at 135 pounds. I would love a cyber buddy to correspond with. I have no problems about a weigh in either. Recipe exchanges, exercise outings, all good to me.

Just bumping this up --  if you've made a resolution to get in shape this year, come on over to Shrinkers and join us!  There's a good supportive group of ladies in there and my fat ass would be even fatter were it not for them!   ;D

I guess I will step up here. I *joined* shrinkers last year but never actually got around to introducing myself or setting goals since I felt like I was on a constant rollercoaster of stress/events/excuses. This month seems to be a good time for me to regroup physically.

I have gained over 10 lbs in the last year due to stress eating, overindulgence in unhealthy foods, and alcohol. At 38 and 5'3ish, it gets harder and harder each year to try and maintain a healthy weight. My father died of a massive heart attack at 39, which makes me very conscious of wanting to stay as healthy as possible.

I weighed in on Jan 1 at 142.5. My goal is to get back down to a healthier 125-127 where all of my clothes fit me and I feel strong and fit. The plan is to up the number of times I go to the gym each week, and by cutting out the unhealthy stuff completely initially. My *weak* time of day is from the time I get home from work till I go to bed. I have a tendency to just eat nonstop during those hours.  :( I also need to have a plan for entertaining in terms of being able to provide my guests with yummy food/drink without ending up eating too much myself due to leftovers or not paying attention to what I am putting in my mouth.

I have never joined a group like this before and it does make me a bit nervous, honestly. I am very hard on myself and by sticking it out there, I have just set myself up for failure. Or success. Yes, success! Must stay in my positive mode!!

 :D

I just sent in my request to join. I have gained 10 pounds or more in the last month.  :o Most of my clothes are too tight. DH leaves for London this Saturday and I have been so stressed trying to get everything taken care of before he leaves, that I am contstantly eating to calm my nerves. He tells me I look beautiful, but I want to look great when I meet him in London in 2 months. Thanks!

Hello :)
I would like to join your shrinkers club. I have been overweight since I was nine. (My parents weren't very up on the health and nutrition front.)

I am now 28 and 6 stone overweight. I have been to the doctor and been advised to lose the weight. I have a bad back and two bad knees. The pain I get would be reduced if I lose weight. Also my hubby and I want kids, but aren't willing to risk my health to do so.

I guess what I am saying is this year I am making it my year. I have got a treadmill and instant abs. All I need to do now is not go food shopping and get myself into a routine!  :D

FYI - to join Shrinkers, please send all requests to Vnicepeeps now - since I'm pregnant I am not moderating this board now! For anyone who has sent me a PM in the last few days, I will sort your admission out but anyone else should contact Vnicepeeps.

Thanks!  :)
