in Introduce Yourself
after seeing a particulars unflattering photo of myself over Christmas I'm motivated to shread some weight and get fitter. I'm a bit of a yoyo dieter so hopefully with the help of this app and the community I may crack it this time. Good luck everyone.

    Well done, sounds like you are doing great! Keep up the good work. Keep taking photos and comparing to your unflattering photo to keep yourself motivated. And remember, even if you have a little blip, that's all it is! Just forget it and move on, no more yoyo :)

    Thanks - I'm going to do a monthly photo - the first at 17'1 is unpublishable ;). I'm hoping to get back to 14 stone something by March. Already feel much healthier though. Thanks again.

    Be careful you don't aim too high too quickly. Over two stone in three months is very very fast weight loss. If you feel that's how you want to do it, go for it....but be careful you don't get discouraged if you have a week where you don't lose or only lose a little.

    I know what you mean, i have done quick diets before and they fail in the long run.My actual total weight loss is aimed for June/July, aiming for 2-3lb per week, anything else is a bonus, there are bound to be weeks where I stagnate, so I have factored all that in hopefully

    Yes I know what you mean - its about trying to keep it going. Still I'm actually enjoying the change of diet and exercise at the moment and find the iphone app really helps keep me in check in the evening - which tends to be my time of weakness! Good luck all
