So depressed

Weighed myself today...12st 0lb. I have never been that weight since I was pregnant 8 years ago!!! Last time I weighed I was just over 11st and mortified which was a year or so ago so started C25K which I loved, finished the plan then developed a hip problem so stopped. I haven't started since although hip problem has gone.

At 5ft 6 I need to lose at least 2 stone, 9st 5 is my ideal but I'll be happy with 10. Diet is my problem, I'm vegetarian and love cheese especially halloumi. I can also easily forget to eat in work so will eat a couple of biscuits instead.

I am so depressed and apologies to anyone who thinks this is not a big deal I don't mean to offend but it is a big deal to me. My plan is to start back on C25K tomorrow, cut sugar out of tea and coffee (currently take one) and consider actually using the free gym in work (only small but still free). I know I need to rethink my diet but it's hard. I never had a weight issue in my teens in fact couldn't put it on now I just seem to be creeping up.

Well that's my self-pitying rant, time to try and do something about it I think. Aiming for 2 stone off by Christmas.

Any advice/ slaps around cheek welcome

I was about your height and weight and went to Rosemary Conley classes and lost 2and a half stone in 6months. I haven't put it back in 4yrs. I also took up running.

Low carb? Join Biwi's fab boot camp?

If running aggravates your hip, try cycling. Cheese a massive weakness with me too - try low dairy/lactose for a few weeks and be more disciplined about eating when you need to. This may be easier when you're doing more exercise.

Keep us posted and good luck!

Well done for deciding on a plan! Tips from me: bring healthy work treats you love to work to avoid biscuits. I love green bananas and treat myself to one at 1030. I also love cherry toms and grapes- find a healthy snack and make the time to pack and prepare it. Fuel at work is important.

I also love cheese but I only have it in a sandwich (so portioned controlled at lunch) Or as a treat on Friday night. I don't like low fat cheese so I'd rather eat a nice cheese
On a Friday and make it special. I am pescetarian. Good luck!
