in Introduce Yourself
Decided that I am not going to be fat and 40! As I near the dreaded birthday in less than 2 weeks am giving myself the only birthday present I really want. To lose 3 stone. Have tried several other 'diets' but have been unsuccessful in that I lose some weight (never actually getting to goal) then put it all back on again.

After these failed attempts have come to the conclusion that the 'healthy eating and exercise' route is the only way to go.

It may take me a while longer than some 'diets' but I would rather get to goal and keep it off and take a year doing it than losing it in a couple of months and putting it all back on again!

So here goes.....slowly but surely I am going to be 40 and slim.

    Hello ladies....thank you for your posts.

    I am happy to support either of you if you need motivating along the way. Its nice to have someone to chat to who understands how you may be feeling. I see losing this 3 stone as a positive thing and am looking at it as getting healthy. Not a quick fix.

    Good luck to us.
