You sound very motivated to me, and off to good start. Just wrapping your mind around the need to loose weight and get into shape, can be the biggest step. We are very supportive around here, and I think you'll find keeping a journal will help a lot. Anyhow it's nice to have you here, and feel free to lean on us all you want.

thank you x

Okay, for us, Yanks, how about telling us what "5-stones" is in Pounds...lol :laugh:

And I wish you much success!! It sounds as if you have a plan. I know I'm here to find support while getting healthy and, these folks seem to be ready to help! Let's do this!

Good Morning Telin,

I am so glad to see you in the Journals Forum. If I can ever be of any assistance JUST LET ME KNOW. This weight loss journey can be EXCITING, FRUSTRATING and TAKES MANY TWISTS AND TURNS ... lol like every aspect of life. So take it ONE DAY AT A TIME .. ONE MEAL AT A TIME. This is something YOU CAN DO. Always, Monica

Found a weights and measures conversion webpage taht is usefule for lots of things:
weights and measures (http://www.onlineconversion.com/)

It says 1 stone is 14 pounds. How sad that Brits must lose 14 pounds before the scale will even show 1 stone loss. How can you stick with it when it seems the scale never budges? I'd get so discouraged!

feeling a bit upset
had a bit of a poor evening, have had bread, ahhhhh
bacon ahhhhh again and a ......................scone !!!!!!!!
and my daughter didnt like her crisps grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

WHERE IS MY SELF WILL???
and its only day 1!!!!!

im not happy with my self, my problem is the evenings,
i will have to think about keeping busy or something

you might see more of me, anything to keep me away from the cupboard!! lol

im having to do that too, find things to occypy the mind.
note
never snack after 8pm, the food sits in your tummy and doesnt get turned from fat-energy, just fat to thigh fa or tummy fat.
learnt that today so im not allowed to eat anything more from 8pm anymore.

tonight im doing anything to not think about an exam i have, so i spent the night arranging to go to arobics on a thursday evening with my pal
