    Hi.

    I hoe you don't mind me joining in. I have around 21lbs I need to lose. I have already lost 43lbs but the last bit seems really hard to shift and I am feeling very frustrated with it.

    I gained lots of weight after becoming ill a few years back but decided on January 1st (as you do) that I needed to lose the weight I had gained. The first bit was easy, then I hit a plateau but that shifted after a while and now I appear to be stuck again.

    I don't want faddy diets, I want to lose weight and keep it off. Exercise is an issue because I have fibromyalgia but I can watch what I eat and thought this would be a good place to join :o

    Well done on the losses everyone!

    After my 1lb gain last week - i checked this morning again to make sure i'm on track and lost the 1lb again plus an extra 1/2 lb - so fingers crossed I can keep this up to weigh in on Thursday morning.

    Had a relatively good weekend - and incorporated exercise everyday - I try and make sure i do 15 mins every day minimum (mainly walking or exercise DVD's).

    Went for about a 40 min walk on Saturday, and just short walks on friday and sunday.

    However was out for lunch both saturday and sunday, but choose healthy options - salad starters, no dessert etc, and stayed of the wine (I'm sure everyone thinks I'm pregnant as it's unheard of for me to say no to wine!)

    Breakfast today - 2 weetabix
    Snacks - have a banana, special k cereal bar and bag of almonds and cranberries with me - so depends what mood i'm in.

    Lunch - ham and lettuce sandwich on wholemeal bread (need to get more food in the house and get away from the bread!!)

    Does everyone here eat breakfast?

    I'm not really a breakfast person. I have a couple of coffees when I wake up then tend to eat around 1pm.

    I didn't used to you - but have started to - it helps to kickstart your metabolism so you burn more calories with morning activities
