Thanks for the lovely welcome! 
Good idea to log every mouthful Kikis. I am a major grazer which is fine when it's healthy or I am watching my portion size but at the moment I am eating all the food in the land and grazing in between.. its got to stop!
Quim Congratulations on your flying start! It's great to hear you did so well last year and it's all going well again this year. That is very inspiring to me!
My usual strategy is moderation, drink a lot of water and busy myself a lot (extra walks instead of taking the car for short journeys, really putting some welly into the cleaning). Just got to stop the snacking!
Hairspray well done on your 6lb loss! That's amazing. My DH thinks all overeating can be solved with a trip to the gym but I believe if you don't eat it in the first place it's better, so we tussel over that... he's always saying "Just go to the gym and then you can eat XYZ"!
Comeagain also well done on your 4lb off and for cutting back on the Diet Coke, it's a hard habit to break. Totally agree about the planning. If I don't have anything suitable in I think I'll just have beans on toast but if I'm not concentrating it turns into return trips to the kitchen for more toast and maybe a few biscuits!
Today I've got a new mindset though. So far, so good! (at 10am... taps fingers... ignores fridge... 
I really don't want to slide into my old ways. I lost a lot of weight a couple of years ago and I really don't want to pile it back on. Going to get some more water now, it does help fill you up!
