Well I guess I should start posting here! Decided that 2010 will be the year I lose 5 stone and generally get healthier, being winded from just walking up the stairs is not good I've started going to the gym 5 times a week and have been for 3 weeks so far, had to miss a day this week and really didn't want to so that's a good sign I think

Well done for deciding to do something hun, thats often the hardest part. Only you have the power to change but you CAN do it

good luck xx

As I expected I've STS this week!

I'm not too downheartened though as I bought my dress for my 40th Birthday party in a size Small yesterday

Must try harder to get it moving next week so I can still fit into that dress in May

Great idea to get it in a small size

I am not weighing myself tomorrow as Paul Mckenna's rules are to weigh yourself every two weeks, so it will be next week for me.

good luck for next week then

At the moment i'm just trying to cut down on unhealthy snacks and sugary foods (chocolate is my weakness!) I find once I get past the first week of craving it alll the time it's much easier My actual meals have always been OK, it's snacks that up the calorie intake for me. I considered weight watchers or similar but it's expensive with a gym membership aswell and I don't think it's the sort of thing I could bring myself to pay for. Will see how I do on my own for now

sounds like a good plan, might be worth looking at your portion sizes as well, even the healthy stuff can add pounds if you eat too much of it

That sounds great! And I agree with Nat - adjusting portion size is worth considering as it can make all the difference... Good luck!!!

I'm a bit behind the curve of this thread but I see we've had some great losses welcome to the new losers and to those returning good luck everybody

I weighed myself last night and I've lost 3lb, I must admit that although I've been good (mainly due to lack of appetite) I suspect it's more to do with the side effects of the treatment (been sick a few times this week). To be honest I've been told not to strictly diet but I continue to eat healthily and go the the gym just to do a fast uphill walk on the treadmill which makes me feel so much better.

Good luck for the second week of March everybody, with all this recent lovely sun I feel summer is really on the horizon now Just think of all those lovely summer clothes

I'm delighted to have lost 3 1/2lbs this week We've just found out that dh is to be made redundant in September, so I'm sure that I'll struggle to keep off of the chocolate this week!!

Good luck everyone
