    Can I be in too? But for once I have decided I won't be doing the counting of anything, just make reasonable decisions ! Will see if it works ! First weigh in at the nurses (they run a weigh in session among staff) on Wednesday, will start from there.

    What a great idea! Loving the free site - it seems really comprehensive. Now, my weight loss need isn't down to a New Years Resolution, but the fact that my jeans no longer fit since becoming less active over the last few months - I hate shopping for Jeans, so weight loss is preferable! I will be investigating "calorie counting" (only done faddy diets in the past) and looking forward to posting some loss a week Monday! Good luck lads and lasses!!

    Daisy - Dragon has pointed me in this direction. I desperately need to lose about 2 stone or it could be more than that:eek: I was in the changing room at M&S yesterday (why do they have to have mirrors all the way round:confused: and it wasnt a pretty sight at all so I need to do something. So please, please, please may I join your group?

    Sorry to appear thick but how do I convert stones into lbs? I have no idea.

    Glad to see you Horace! Multiply the number of full stonnes by 14 then add on any extra pounds, so 10 stone 9 pounds would be 10 x 14 = 140 + 9 = 149 pounds

    I'm in - just stood on the scales and I think that the Baileys I have been force fed over Christmas has had a negative impact :o:o:o:o

    I haven't been given very many calories to live on though by the caloriecount site (1,650 to eat and 2060 to burn - and I think I will burn about 1600 a day normally and need to add about another 500 to that if I have read the site properly).

    Lots of soup and water I think.

    Well I was both bad and good yesterday - I finished off the bread & butter pudding:rolleyes: but had toasted seeded brown bread for lunch and again for dinner with added baked beans as well as eating a satsuma. I also ate 4 chocs:eek:

    I walked to the bank this morning too - it is a lot warmer outside today and the freezing fog and hoar frost have gone:j
