    Hi Ruthie , I'm Ruth. Returned here today having faced the scales yesterday after several years of burying my head in the sand and buying bigger and bigger sized clothes. I have gained a lot having lost a similar amount previously. So I too have been out of control for the past 3 years or so. Perhaps we can encourage each other?
    My goal is to lose a stone by the end of the year, a lb a week or so...I hope to up my activity and cut out refined sugar, unless it is a celebration ( party, birthdays etc) when it will be savoured as a special treat. This means no alcohol too. Apart from that I will try to stick to an average of 1400 calories a day. Will you be my accountability buddy?

    By the way my first tip is to break your goal into smaller mini goals. 40lbs can feel overwhelming and unachievable. How about focusing on the first 10lbs?
