Disqus for Where Are My Knees

Hello and welcome to Where Are My Knees?!

Sunday, 13 March 2011

We are five bloggers who, through collective moaning on Twitter, realised that we all have our own individual weight loss goals which we all need support to achieve them. Our plan is to work together with a little help from each other and from you guys. We'll be posting recipes, tips, clever dressing ideas, looking at body image, general support and obviously we will be keeping you updated with how we're all getting on!

The Where Are My Knees? team is made up of:


Lucy who wants to lose some weight before her Australian adventure in October.

Gem who is following the Weight Watchers program and has already lost 11.5lbs.

Sarah wants to find healthier alternatives to food that she loves and walk more in the hope she will drop a dress size in time for her sister's wedding in July.

Charlene who wants to start an exercise regime to tone up and keep fit

...and finally Sarah V who is trying to lose two stone and fit into all her dresses again!

Each of us will be writing a more detailed post this week, hopefully to give you more of an idea as to who we are and what we want to get out of this so keep your eyes out for that!

We want this to become a community where we all support and encourage each other, after all everybody knows how easy it is to put on weight and just how hard it is to shift it! We'd like to invite other bloggers to share their success stories, any dieting or exercise tips with us and contribute via guest posts, if you're interested please contact us at - wherearemyknees@gmail.com

    I'm on my own quest to shift some winter pounds, so hopefully you girls will give me some motivation!

    My boyf's mum lost 3.5 stone doing Slimming World and she emailed me loads of helpful stuff about following their diet. It's super easy, so if any of you want me to forward you some bits, just tweet!

  20. this is so great! I'm trying to lose weight at the moment. I have about 40-45 pounds to go, and I've convinced myself that this is last time I'm going to 'start up'. This is the one :) I always try these fad diets and lose like 10 pounds then gain it all and more, so this time I'm going healthy and working out a lot. I blog about my weekly weigh ins, too that really helps. So I'll be stalking you all! :) good luck!

    I've got my first weigh in at WW tomorrow since the blog went live so wish me luck!

    I am trying to control my weight too at the moment. I have always been slim but it doesn't come naturally to my familly and as I enter my mid twenties I really do have to keep an eye on what I eat. I put on weight very easily. I don't have a lot to loose - about half a stone, but I will be following you lovely ladies for tips and inspiration!

  25. This is pretty awesome!

    I put 16lb on when I stopped taking the pill last March and was diagnosed with PCOS! (Stupid hormone stuff of which one of the biggest side effects is weight gain, grr)! Well after reading lots of PCOS sufferers moan about the weight gain, I've decided to kick it in the ass and get a move on! I've lost 10lb so far and have planteaud, big time, been unable to lose anymore over the last er.. Quite a while! Unfortunately with the PCOS comes sugar cravings - ARGH. Hard to control!

    Also, I'm studying to be a physiotherapist and am pretty much an irony case at the moment, because I'm weak as hell, hate sport, and not exactly toned. Trying to change this.

    Will follow ;)
