    Good morning NP

    Well done on not stuffing your gob yesterday :D

    I'll join you if I may please - I've gained a stone this year :o and I wasn't a skinny-minny beforehand. I fell off the healthy eating/regular light exercise wagon in February and didn't get back on...

    I now need to lose that weight before I go on holiday in March

    Good morning MWC - yes please do join in! I think our bodies may be genetically the same, as I too was always super thin, and have gone up two dress sizes (and am possibly 1/2 size away from three). I know it's the worst time of the year to be not stuffing my gob however I think the Christmas feasts would have tipped me to a point of harder return:o

    My aim is to loose just over a stone - or drop to a loose size 12. Whatever comes first really:D

    Personally I don't think someone whose kilos start with a 6 should be allowed to diet. Unless you're 3ft 6" :)

    Right. I'm more concerned about my BMI. Target - 27.13. It will still be overweight but it's a start. At least I'm starting with it the right side of 30 :o.

    Good luck np on the health kick
    I have to say exercise has been more of a push than me than dieting (having tried on and off totally unsuccesfully - I have no willpower!! :rotfl:) .... but you dont sound like you have too much to worry about! I have felt much more confident in myself even where I havent necessarily "Lost" wt!

    Love the idea of an app that pays of the mortgage too - let me know guys if you manage to figure that one out!! ;)

    I am a similar weight creeper upper. Am reaching the big four-oh in January with more wobble on my backside than I'd like. However, I have gawn and got myself a new job and will be able to walk to work. I have all sorts of fantasies about how much wobble will magically melt away with just this small change to my lifestyle. :D

    I had a Scottish salad for dinner - does that count as healthy eating?! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
