    Hi

    I live in Surrey although originally from Leeds. I've managed my weight pretty well throughout my life, having been very overweight in my teens. I'm now 53 and the last 18 months has seen me put on about 30lbs. I spent the whole of 2010 dieting in one way or another - but ended up heavier in Dec 2010 than I was in Dec 2009.

    I joined a gym in September and have been attending 3-4 times a week for body pump, to try and tone up, but now I need to move the fat.

    I've now started with gusto, I'm on the scarsdale diet which worked really well for me when I needed to loose my post baby weight all those years ago. I'm also using a form of self hypnosis, in particular whenever I think I would like something such as a glass of wine, chocolate, etc I immediately imagine how I will feel when I can get back into my size 10 jeans. It works I forget the choclotae and re-focus.

    Today is my 7th day, I haven't weighed myself, I'm just going to get into my jeans again, then I know I'll be where I want to be.

    Good luck to you all.

    Hi, another Surrey girl and I'm on the team UK thread from time to time. Similarly to the OP, I've got 2 kids and wanted to lose some weight to feel good about myself again. I've lost my weight now and have been maintaining for a few months but this is far from the end of my journey, my attention is on fitness and toning now.

    Feel free to add me as a friend,

    Yvonne
