in Introduce Yourself
So I'm doing a restart..yes already, my diet last week lasted all of two days.. before I got distracted by the thought of eating out at the weekend (and very nice it was too...) Ahem.. anyway, I've restarted today.. much more determined and less flaky!

Would be great to chat to like minded people from the UK, well from anywhere really, so are there any dog owning, rock & metal heads on here, with a need to lose a pound or two, who want to chat and motivate?!

    lmao!! Good for you restarting, we're already 'friends', but yes.. I have two dogs. One is an old gent who is a Golden Retriever (14 years) and my cheeky Alaskan Malamute (almost 6) who joins me on the walks to keep us both fit.

    thats the problem with 'diets' - they start and stop
    lifestyle changes last longer, and living life means you can have those meals out, and have better food the rest fo the time
    life means going out with the family and being limited as to whats on the menu
    life also means making a nice low fat meal at home one evening

    life is a balance, a diet isnt

    thanks... I intend the lifestyle change... but after the diet, I'm a quick fix first kinda girl.... and my current wardrobe choices are a bit dire, so being able to go down a few sizes will be a good thing!

    I have my healthy lifestyle plan ready to go though after some pounds come off ;)
