    Hi, thanks for the welcome.

    Unfortunatly I'm not new to dieting. Ive probably just about tried every diet going. But due to recent ill health I'm finding weight loss very difficult.

    I look forward to getting to know everyone

    Hi Debbie, I only joined myself a few days ago and I'm still finding my way around the site. I'm just outside of Manchester as well. You'll find the site really useful and there seems to be lots of positive support. Do you have much to lose or is this just a change in lifestyle and needing a few words of encouragement? x

    I would like to lose about 1 & 1/2 stone. It would be nice to have on line friends to share the journey and encourage each other along the way. Dieting can be a lonley old world !

    it certainly can! i have a few friends signed up, and it helps that my girlfirend is signed up for the journey too!

    If nothing else it helps to moticate each other and tell each other off for eating badly!

    Debbie,I'm with you on that long and sometimes lonely journey. Friends,family and partners are very supportive but when there not the ones who need to lose the weight it seems like a battle you have to fight on your own. I'm happy to be a "friend" and help you on the way as I myself need a few friends. Feel free to add me and we can motivate each other. I've set myself a mini goal to lose 10lb by end of March,but longterm I'm looking to lose 70lb. Going to be a long journey for me.

    Thank you Karen. Unfortunatly its a journey that NEVER ends. I was close to my target 2 years ago, but took my eye off the ball and now I need to get back down again :sad:

    Having said that, Ive had a disasterous dieting day, so I will have to make a fresh start in the morning :ohwell:

    Hope everyone is doing well

    I'm off to babysit my grandchildren now, so I'll have to catch back up with you all tomorrow

    Be good :wink:
