seeing as i really do not feel like dieting at all at the mo i think am just going to start by cutting down portions and cutting out snacks - at least for the first couple of weeks.
Hopefully that will give me time to get my head around dieting so i have more chance of sticking to it (no chance at the mo) and in the meantime should not put on any extra.
If i can sort myself some extra exercise in the meantime i might even manage to loose the first couple of pounds! (wishful thinking )

i find it better to NOT have scales
if i have them at home i keep getting on them so don't really see the difference - but if i have to go out to get weighed once a week and i have lost a couple of pounds i feel soooo much better!

Yeh ive looked at that too, looks good doesnt it?
I park my car a little further from work and a little further from school too...every little helps!!! oh and ive got a rowing machine too (must dust off the cobwebs) C x

Actually - I am trying to lose weight without the scales.

I hate the idea of getting weighed - so I am trying to lose by eating more of the right stuff and less of the bad stuff. And hopefully the clothes in my 'thin wardrobe' will fit again.

I have willpower mostly - but I have a real slow metabolic rate. I have been exercising - swimming 2-3 times a week. But my tummy doesn't seem to benefit from this. Find it hard to do other exercises as I have a recurring lower back injury that flares up if I do anything other than stretching.

oh yes - i read the thread about the latest problem with your back
good calorie burning exercise!

Well, after losing more than 2.5 stone prior to Xmas, I managed to pile on 6lbs:scared: over the hols. Have shifted 4 of those this week so now only 2lbs over wharer I was so not too bothered. I wanted to really enjoy Xmas, not have to worry about having a drink and loads of food so that exactly what I did .

Still following WW, but not going to meetings. I get to the gym twice a week but I'd like to get more walking done - need some dry weather for that though - it fels liek it's rained here for months.

I was really owrried that after my Xmas indulgences, I'd find it hard to get back onto the diet, but seems to be OK. Mind you, I had no choice as I'd thrown out all my big clothes.

Got a nice surprise in the sales after Xmas whaen I got int oa size 12 top which is keeping me motivated.

We have our medicals on Saturday and I was hoping t ohave lost maybe another 7lbs by then, but that's OK. At least my BMI isn't scary anymore.

Good luck everyone.
