TSR Weight Loss Society!

Who can do it the fastest? Maybe that's not such a good idea! lol 9 stone is in the middle of what I should be for 5'5, lighter would be nice, but only if it's healthy for me!

Hello! I'll join! I've not weight myself in ages, I'm about 86-90kg (about 12.5-13 stone) heavy and 169cm tall (about 5'6"). I'm not strictly into losing weight (apart from a huge - genetic - backside, I'm medium size), but want to run a marathon in 2 years time. If there's anyone in London who wants to be my running buddy on saturdays in Hyde Park, be my guest. :p:

We all seem to be around 11 stone wanting to go to 9 stone :p:

Ha ha, it's true, and I would like to offer more support for this theory by joining this society. I'm going to the gym a few times a week, and eating a vegan diet. It's going pretty well! I'm aiming to be under 10st by the end of March, and then 9st by the summer and bikini season.

I've been eating a lot of couscous recently - I find that if you hydrate it with stock instead of water, then mix a bunch of stirfried veg into it, a medium portion turns into a massive pile of delicious food, and it's really filling and low in fat too. Good stuff! I also make a lot of soup using just vegetables - really good for you, especially because you don't throw out the cooking water, and super low calorie if you don't use anything starchy like potato.

I am really uneducated in terms of cooking! Recipes would be really useful, as long as they're quick cheap and easy for my student budget!

What exactly is couscous?

What exactly is couscous?

It is the separated grain of the wheat plant. When dried and milled, it becomes semolina flour, which is what pasta is made out of. However, as a grain, it makes a terrific rice substitute that has the advantage of being more flavorful (nutty with an interesting texture as long as it is not over cooked) as well as about five times quicker to make than rice

I've updated the page with the new members. How do people feel this society should work in order to be successful??

I would like to join please!!

I am currently 9 stone 4 and would ideally like to get down to 7 stone again. This time last year I weighed 11 stone 4 but I lost motivation and really need to start the weight loss again!

Why do they do it?! Went swimming today, and I'm stupidly self concious, surely lots of people are, so why do they have gorgeous lifeguards?! Grr!

Edit: how about having some links in the first page? To advice/calories things/bmi or bmr calculator?

Count me in! :biggrin:

I weigh quite a lot, and need to lose a lot too :redface:

But i have been on a REAL diet [because for the first 1 and a half months i was kinda kidding myself :p:

] for about 2 months now, and i have lost 1 stone 6 pounds! I am very happy about that. I weigh myself on a Saturday morning, and i am hoping to have lost some more weight this week! :biggrin:

I'll let you know how it goes. :smile:

By the way, i go to the gym 5 times a week, and have a personal trainer, so if anyone needs any tips on stuff like that, i'm always here to help! :smile:

Well it's a small gym (only one woman owns it, with one other person working part-time). She just talks to me while i'm exercising, and she helps me with my diet etc. But yeah, i am lucky i suppose ;yes;

I hope to loose 3 stone, doing it mainly through exercise and diet.

Mainly the exercise though as I don't really eat that much crap, I've just been big since being a baby and I'm a bit lazy, so it's mainly the exercise I'll be doing.
