    Snap! Same dress size and goal! I've done a Gp course too, but going to join Slimming World this week - apparently GPs can refer you so it's free - fingers crossed!

    So, can you add me too please? Thanks! :j (does that count as exercise?!)

    Certainly a good start to your exercise plan :rotfl:, and I'll add you now :D

    I think I am only going to weigh myself at the end of the month just going to focus on the healthy eating and exercise and look on the weight loss as a (hopefully) happy bonus!

    Right - the last 2 days have been a write off so I'm going to weight myself in the morning and take it from there!

    yesterday was not the best start to my diet :o was at home feeling poorly & ate loads of rubbish!

    Today I have armed myself with a healthy lunch, brekkie will be porridge at work, & loads of fruit for desert, I am going out for a meal with a friend but will be diet conscious.

    Going for a run this evening.

    If I start to crumble I will pop on here for some moral...

    Weighed myself this morning and it wasn't as bad as it could have been so at least I know my starting point now.

    Ate very little today as spent the day in bed with a stomach bug. Not good.

    yay lots of positive posts today :j congrats to salduck & bridesmaid :T

    I am very happy to say I didn't crummble in my diet today - I did go out for a meal & have risotto which I realise wasn't a lettuce sandwich! But I didn't eat any carp throughout the day & I had a diet coke at the meal & am now having a cup of tea with low cal sugar - there is hope for me yet!!! :rotfl:

    Dragon, count me again please :)

    Last month started quite well, then Easter happened and it all went downhill :D Two things have changed my routine, so I was eating on the run. I kinda know where I am now so things are settling down.
