Hi
I just wanted to say hello. I'm new to this site and just beginning to get to grips with it but so far I think its fab!
I need to lose weight before I can have major surgery on my hips and so am seriously starting to diet...sorry healthy eat! I'm doing the Cambridge diet but the 1000 calories step and so far its going good. I've been doing it since the ned of Jan but with a few hiccups! Its weigh in again tonight so wish me luck.
Feel free to send me a message and say hi

    :smile: Welcome and good luck! Just hang in there. . .I think we all have those "hiccups" at times but the important thing is that we bounce right back!

    Thanks! I had lost more but got lost along the way a few times and gained some back. . .but I'm just trying to stick with it no matter how long it takes.

    Have you got a lot to lose sherry? I really need to lose about 5 stones to be healthy but have no goal before I can have my surgery it was a case of lose some weight and come back in 3 months!
    My life feels like it has been a constant diet! Does anyone else feel the same?

    I have about 50 more lbs to lose to be to my goal weight. I truly believe that for us who have weight issues this HAS to be a lifelong change in order for it to last. I know if I don't stick with it even after I get to my goal I'll just gain it all back. . .so that's why I think we each individually have to find a plan that works for us & stick with it for the rest of our lives.

    Hi Wingchunrick thanks for the welcome.

    Had success with Weight Watchers in the past but now I'm just using this site to track my calories and other nutrients and trying to stay around 1200 calories a day.
