Here I go...starting again....

I seem to be the YO-YO dieter for life. I do really well ususally in the Fall/Winter and fall to pieces in the Spring/Summer (which is the worst time in terms of clothing!) :smile:

So I am jumping back into a program of watching and counting what I eat and adding exercise 3 times a week. I hope that the beginning transition is easier than normal. The first two weeks always seem hard.

Off to begin again.....

    I am at the bottom of the hill again. various health problems and giving up smoking have seen me bloat out. I have a wedding in a couple of weeks, I am best woman, and want to look less like a beach ball. Enjoy exercising which is good but get very sloppy round the eating side of thingsl. I sort of forget I am eating and wonder why I am not losing weight. Ciggie free for 2 months+ now which makes the exercise alot easier and should be fitter quicker. Yeah, the first 2 weeks are tough cos nothing seems to be happening. Fitness pal is a great boost and keeps me focused on what I have done and what I could possibly change to do better.

    Well you are in a good place! You don't say how you intend to lose weight, but I would encourage you to not "diet" on a particular plan, but rather make sensible changes to your diet that you can live with for the rest of your life.

    Good luck to you!

    thanks ladies, I plan to stick to 1,200 calories and use the food tracker and increase my exercise levels. Don't like weighing myself but it must be done. My sister has downloaded fitness pal onto her iphone and she recommended it to me. Feel very hopeful
