Hi from Scotland

Options
I'm new.

I intend to do lots more exercise

But I think my biggest problem will be cutting out the chocolate and take aways.

Will like to have lots of friends to help motivate me.

I intend to start on Sunday, as its the start of the week etc

    Thank you :D I try and get in a little exercise every day, something as small as walking my dog even when it's wet and she doesn't want to lol, or a 30 min workout DVD. But I don't go overboard with it :) Well done on 3lbs, keep up the good work! :D

    Superstar, I agree! It's so much easier to avoid giving into temptation when you know that you're going to have to log it later! Even before I joined MFP I had a food diary just to try and keep myself on track. If I didn't want to have to write it down later, then I didn't eat it. :)

    Hello from not so sunny Arbroath!!! Good luck with your weight loss.
    I always ate healthy meals it was the jelly sweets, chocolate, koppaberg and vino that was the problem! I still have a wee bit as would go stark raving mad otherwise.

    I already have the fear about what that winds going to do to my bouffant and my dug is currently hiding shaking as he is petrified of high winds!
