Hi all :)

I'm Josie, I'm 29 and I'm from Wales in the uk. I'm looking to lose 45lb by healthy eating and exercise, just to make a change from the usual slimming world, weight watchers, slim fast, dukan, Atkins etc etc. I want to get to 10 stone 7 (I don't remember ever weighing that, but I feel that it would be about right for my height - 5ft 7). I have tried all the above diets and more, some more successful than others!! Got down to 11 stone 2 with slimming world a couple of times but put it all back on, I have a huge appetite and slimming world doesn't help with the portion control!! Please add me as a friend as I could use the motivation :)

I'm a married mum of 2 girls aged 10 and 7, and work as a community nurse. I'm going to try and build some exercise into my day, I already love walking with our greyhound but would like to do more, perhaps on the wii :)

    Hi from Belfast.

    I started this journey Jan 2nd this year at 207lbs (14 stone 9), aiming to get to 149lbs (10 stone 9). I last weighed myself 13th Feb and I was 185lbs (13 stone 3).

    I am 25, my hubby is 27 and we are TTC (nearly 4 years now) and I have gone back to school to complete my degree part time in Law.

    I'm always up for new friends so please feel free to add me.

    hi ladies

    im 27, from nottingham.

    similarly tried em all, never with much success, including cambridge diet.

    only time i ever did well was with calorie counting and exercise, dont know why ive been after a quick fix.

    recently had the all clear from a private endocrinologist, thyroid is perfect, everything in working order

    time to get down to it, been here 25 days, lost 7.4 pounds and alot of cms, got about another 4 stone to go, then reassess.

    im 5ft 9. married, no kids, busy stressful career... :)
