    Can I join the gang please? Weighed myself this morning and was 11st ....was 10st 8lb a week ago :eek: Went onto the Tesco Tracker website & my BMI has gone up to 26 from 24.5 :(

    We've almost eaten the Christmas cake (gave 1/3 away to visiting brother :D) and there are only 3 h/m mince pies left, so have almost cleared the goodies.

    Want to lose at least a stone, and need to tone my belly up - my baby is 20 in March :o (my excuse is that I didn't do my stomach exercises after his older brother 22 yrs ago). Would also like to lose a bit off my hips so I fit a size 12 properly again.

    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:
