    Morning All

    It was my weigh-in day yesterday and I am pleased to report a 2lb weight loss:j. TrixieB, I too have back problems which, in part, have accounted for some of my weight gain over the last 12 months. I do feel I have to work harder at healthy eating because of it ie I can't exercise to burn off calories but carrying the extra weight around cannot be helping my back so that is my incentive. I have lost 1 stone so far, still have 1st 4lbs to lose, so it is possible. I feel much better in myself now that I am controlling my weight, do what you can, it all helps.

    Weigh in . Stayed the same
    Hooray anyway because I have been so up and down recently that I was worried.

    TrixieB Take good care of yourself, a week off might be just what you need to get things into a better perspective. Rest, reasses and plan how you will cope with less money, less moblity etc. We are all thinking of you.

  • Could i join please?
    I weighed myself yesterday, 10st 7lbs. I am 7lbs heavier than i thought i was :eek:. I would love to get down to 9st, eventually. By Christmas though i would like to lose a stone. It may be out of my reach as i usually get bored after a couple of weeks. Am hoping though by joining this thread it will help keep me on track.
    Many thanks in advance
