I'll join in as well then if you don't have to be a WW member. I've never wanted to do WW because I hate the idea of going somewhere and getting weighed, I'd never go, I'd be too embarassed I also don't like being so restricted in what I can / can't eat with the points thing so I've always just dieted on my own terms.
I managed to drop 5 stone in a year back when I was 20 just from changing my diet, no exercise(well apart from a 15 min walk to work each day). After piling pretty much all of it back on after having my daughter I lost 2 stone via exercise and a strict diet last year, got to a point when I just wasn't losing anything despite eating less / working out more so I kinda gave up binged and put it all back on again(and then some). I got to about 13st 9lbs and thought whoa better do something about this so I started to diet / exercise again, lost a stone and hit a wall again, couldn't lose anymore. So I kinda gave up again but managed to not put anything on(well I'd gain a 1lb or 2 but lose it again).
Then missanthropik posted a link to a weightloss site which is fantastic! It works out how many cals to have a day to lose up to a max of 2lbs a week based on your height, current weight, age, amount of exercise you do etc. So back on my diet / exercise so far I've lost a 1lb but that's my own fault because I've still been binging, I eat when I'm stresed / upset and when my daughter was in hospital I used it as an exscuse to binge. I've been pretty good with the exercise though, I try to workout everyday but somedays I just can't be bothered so I don't, I try to work out at least 3 or 4 times a week. I have 3 dvds, natalie cassidy's then & now, martine mccutechones(spelt wrong

) dance body & billy blanks tae bo workout. I also have a step machine & a trampoline. I tend to do 1 of my dvd's(if i'm feeling lazy but can still manage a workout I do the quick tae bo one which is only 17mins long) and burn off 200cals or so on the stepper and if I can be bothered I do 50 - 100 situps.
I'm hoping my husband has bought me wii fit as one of my birthday presents it looks brilliant, I dropped enough hints so hopefully by this time next week I'll be working out with that as well

In total I'm hoping to lose about 5st 7lbs by this time next year, every year on my birthday I keep saying right this is it this is the last time I'm going to be fat on my birthday, I just hope I stick to it this time!
Well done everyone on all your weightloss keep it up!
