:love: Hiya,

I live in London with my husband. I have been a yo-yo dieter for ages. I managed to lose four stones when I got married 7 years ago. It has now crept back on. I had a mini stroke about 3 1/2 years. I need to sort myself out and stop making excuses. I have started going to the gym twice a week, I do yoga once a week and Pilates. I do love a cheeky glass or two of fine wine at the weekend.

Who is with me?

Lizzy

    Hi Lizzy,

    I'm in the UK. My target is 35.5lbs but to be honest the closer I get to that weight it seems as though it's not enough. All the BMI/ideal weight calculators all say I need to weigh less than 196lbs.

    Be happy to add you as a friend.

    Not in the UK (visited though), but have lost over 40lbs. I log daily and provide support/feedback. You're welcome to add if you'd like.

    I'm near Liverpool and looking to lose 30-40. I lost ten last year but put them back on at the start of this year :grumble:
    Happy to add friends. I have new motivation now as I've booked a holiday to Skiathos in July:happy:

    Am I right in thinking you're from St Helens? Just going off your profile pic, it's the Dream sculpture isn't it?

    Hey, I do! I am looking for support! I've been looking over the forums past few days getting confused about TDEE because I failed to read a tiny detail of 15% - 20% ...
    Now, think I am happy with the calories I am allowed. I live in London with partner and 3 children.
