Hi everyone. I joined mfp ages ago but never actually got round to using the site! I have been going to ww but feel the need for a change. Ive currently lost 21lb and have another 32 to go.
I am a 33 yr old SAHM with 4 beautiful children.
I am determined that 2012 will be the last year I ever diet !!!!
Would love to chat to some of you x

    Hi and welcome! You've made great progress so far... hopefully this will help you along to meet your goals!

    One suggestion... make 2011 the last year that you dieted. Make 2012 the year your changed your life for good. It really does seem to be about finding balance and making lifestyle changes. After all... we all know that diet is a four letter word. Most of us have negative connotations with the whole concept. It'll be easier to wrap your mind around the changes you need to make if you're starting from a positive place!

    May seem like semantics, but I think it makes a difference! This has to be sustainable for the long haul... not just a temporary diet.

    Good luck reaching your goals! All the best,
    Jen

    Thanks both.
    Great advice about the whole 2011 and 2012 thing. I honestly dont look at it like a diet more like a healthy eating plan. If ww did anything it made me change my whole way of eating!!!!
    Am looking forward to being healthier and happier x
