Am going to stop eating crap and lose 4 stone. Want to help me stay on the straight and narrow?

[SparkyMalarky]

That's it really. Need to lose 4 stone, have failed at every diet I've tried so am going back to basics - 3 low fat meals, 2 healthy snacks, 2 litres of water, more exercise.

I have to do it - on a serious note, have two gorgeous DCs and I want to be fit for them - this weight is not good for me and I know that I'm putting myself at risk of heart trouble, diabetes etc etc - and what's more, I want to wear a size 12 again - instead of size 20 for fuck's sake.

Have failed on all the summer weight loss threads so am hoping that starting my own will spur me on! So anyone with me? Or just want to come and shout at me when I want a chunky kit kat?

Neicie I haven't read the book yet either. Or filled in the journal. I will though :)

Ah but you have had the Words of Wisdom from the man himself! Reading the book comes a poor second to a personal training session!

Hello hangs head in shame sorry for being absent - have had a rough time at home and dieting seemed to be too much to worry about. BUT I can't let it get out of hand so hopefully I am back today. Have made a start by filling in foodfocus for today hoping it will keep me a bit focussed.

How are you all?

OK so that was me points up

Florence - hello! We have missed you. Sorry you are having a tough time. Your name change is worrying - I hope whatever is hurting is getting better. If you want to off load, we are listening. If there is anything we can do to help even, do say. I know it is difficult over the Net but we can try.

I have joined the Paul McKenna thread after bullying encouragement by Solo. It is very fast moving so I am happy to keep posting here if you don't want to follow us. They seem to know what they are doing there and are getting results and I am right back at the beginning, stuck as per usual. Not sure if PM is for me but I have to do something - I keep reading how bad middle aged obesity is and it is beginning to scare me. The latest is that it is a risk factor in Alzheimer's which is scaring the shit out of me as my father has it and is ain't nice. I need to keep remembering that when I absentmindedly reach for more chocolate.

Anyway, hope you can get back in the diet groove. I had forgotten about Foodfocus. I will go and have another look I think. I need a kick up the backside.

Hey ladies! Flo, sorry that you aren't feeling great...I second what Niecie has said; we are here for you.

I saw you'd posted on the PM thread. It's good, it works, try to come over and join in when you can.x
