Spent most of my adult life in a battle with my weight. Never been hugely overweight and am apparently within the healthy BMI for my height but feel FAT!! Like the idea of monitoring calories & exercise using this system. Starting today so lets see how we go. Planning to lose just under 1 & half stone by Spring. Really important to me to be healthy and fit as well & want to be able to do a 5k run by Spring as well. My job is reasonably active so that should help.

    Hi, i joined in December as I knew I would put weight on in December and then be rubbish at controlling my eating and exercise throughout the start of the year. The site is a great support and has given me new energy to keep going! Good luck everyone!

    Hi I'm new to this site too. Just stumbled across it while looking for the calorie content in something. Even after just 3 days i'm finding a difference in how i view myself and food. No food is banned as long as you count it in yr allowance and it makes it so easy to add all your favorite meals and help you calculate the calories. Fantastic. I have been fat for as long as i can remember but this year i am determined to lose 56lbs and this time keep them off. I love the fact that i can add my sporadic trips to the gym and even log housework as exercise to gain a few extra calories for a treat. Good luck everyone and lets all be great losers! :flowerforyou:

This is my second day logging in! :) I'm hoping to make some changes in my life! I wish you all the best of luck!
