Good idea but I have no idea about my height to be honest. We could have a 'goal' column but I think we all know what our healthy range should be and I know for me my healthy weight wont be my first goal weight cos that would seem unreachable so I set my self goals of losing 5kg and then when I reach that another 5kg etc. Plus Im not sure how much room we have because I dont know anything about the settings this site has so had to do a budget layout hehe.
Good idea about the flavoured staws, Ive looked at them before and wondered if they were any good

Yeah the flavour straws are good cos u cant pile in heaps of teaspoons full of milo or quik or whatever flavour, so u know how much your getting! They are yum too!
Maybe u could just put up what your goal is at the time,..like a mini goal like u said,..instead of your actual weight,..but I guess if everyone is happy to put their weight,..and people dont compare their weight to other peoples, and feel bad about being bigger or smaller than someone else, then would be ok! Probably a lot of pepole dont know there exact height anyway!
I just know that people have judged me before, when I tell them my weight, but for my height and build im right in the middle of healthy range,..even tho my weight is low compared to a lot of others.

Yeah I was and still am a bit nervous about putting my weight but then I figure the embarassment might motivate me to do better  and really its only the lurkers that I worry about, all the other ladies here know Im overweight so should expect a huge number when my weight goes on hehe plus Ive found no one here judges each other on weight (or anything else) which is why Im willing to devulge my size.

you know what, i was embarressed too, til I realised that we are ALL in the same boat - wanting to lose weight, and as for lurkers, I don't know them so I don't care too much.
Height thing is a good idea or at least goals.

Thought also, if everyone is into it, why not put our, not weight goal, but our "health goal" here each week. This week I'm planning to eat breakfast EVERYday! NExt week I wanna target drinking more water. I'm chronically dehydrated I think!

Hi all! If its ok I'm going to join up too. So far I've been just relying on breastfeeding to lose weight which has been working slowly but I remember last time it only worked for a few months, then I started gaining again.
I was weighing 85kg a week after I had Blaire & I'm just touching 70kg now. But my goal weight is 55kg so I have AGES still to go.
I'm think 3 lots of 5kgs for my goals....I've never done WW or anything like that so I'm going in blind so I will need heaps of help from everyone please!!!

I could be wrong here but in the jenny mcarthy book baby laughs she said she went to the doctor and he said its really hard to lose weight for the first 3 months after your bubs is born because your body holds onto the fat even if you are bottlefeeding.

As aimeejoy mentioned on the previous page...if any one is breast feeding remember you do need the extra calories.
I *think* the points for the WW lactation plan is 35 per day (as opposed to 22) but if someone has access to that info they may want to check it.... 
PS I also agree the secret to WW is lots of points free veges and salad...often the portions we have are larger than we really need (portions should be fist sized)...once you get used to smaller portions it gets easier. But loads of veges help heaps!!
My first time around I really stuck to this and lost what was close on 20 so it does work and is worth it!
Good luck girls I know you can all do it!! I'll be joining you soon enough no doubt!

I had my last takeaways blow out this weekend and had KFC for the first time since being pregnant, I stupidly then went to buy some new jeans and that was just depressing. Im into my pre pregnacy size already but that is still way way way to overweight. Roll on Friday!

Just wondering - if you go and join WW is there a stand down period after you give birth - I mean will they make you wait until 6 weeks after or something or can you join whenever you feel ready?
