Hello From Scotland !

Hi,

At work a few weeks ago and looking in the mirror I though "What a fat sod". Felt fat and now looked it. Time for action. We already had a treadmill but I wasn't counting calories. Then downloaded myfitnesspal and the difference it has made is unbelievable. Started at 18 stone 6 pounds. Two months later I am 16 stone 10 and losing a couple of pounds a week.

What it shows me is there is no real secret to dieting other than watching what you eat and getting regular exercise.

Paul.

Hi Molly...you can do it. Maybe I am a sadist but I like the challenge of being under my calories for the day and haven't failed to be under since I started. Plenty of low fat, healthy options out there. Lots of stuff you think you couldn't do without you can !

Good luck.

Hi Paul, You sound like you're doing great!

Congrats on all that weight lost already.

Thanks Paul, great motivational words.

No problem. Once people put their mind to it they can do anything. Losing a few pounds is child's play. Just need to keep on top of what you are eating, don't go hungry, but don't waste a good day with anything silly. You can do it, I can do it, we all can do it !
