    Just keep an eye on the calories.

    Im 10days into it, and have learned so much from the site. I have always exercised, yet my weighted would always creep up over the winter etc. I had no idea some of the foods I was eating where what was holding me back from achieving my goals

    Keep the diary up too date, research your meals before eating them and take your time.

    For me it was having 3 or 4 coffees a day, had no idea that it added up to a couple of hundread calories(that don;t fill you up)

    And pizza, I knew it was exactly healthy but had no idea that it was over 1000 calories. I've drop the carbs a bit, but I exercise more than average(i think) so I can afford to eat a good amount everyday

    Just don;t worry, Take your time, try get exercising(be it walking, anything at all that works for you). I would look at 15kg to lose either, just say a pound a week or soemthing. Baby steps
