in Introduce Yourself
Hi everyone,

I found this site purely by accident when I was looking for a calorie counter on my iPhone. I've been loosing weight since 2007 and so far have had nearly 7 stones off. I lost 5 stone between August 2007 and Jan 2009. During 2009 my weight stayed within a few Kgs between 95-100.

In January I decided that I needed to make the final push and get down to a BMI of normal. I'm following a low carb approach and I'm doing a lot of running to keep the weight falling off. So far I've done very well. I have been recording my progress and thoughts on a blog called "Around The Waist" www.aroundthewaist.co.uk - now i've discovered this site, I'll be recording my progress on here too.

My theory is that if I publish to the world what I'm doing on a daily basis, I'm far less likely to fall off the wagon. Reading some of the topics on the forum there are a lot of the people exactly like me.

Anyway, I thought I'd just introduce myself to you all.

Craig

    Just incase you're wondering why I'm showing a weight loss of 16Kg, it's because I back dated my loss to the start of my latest weight loss programme. If I put it back to 2007 it would be much higher but I'm concentrating on the now.
