Hi,

At work a few weeks ago and looking in the mirror I though "What a fat sod". Felt fat and now looked it. Time for action. We already had a treadmill but I wasn't counting calories. Then downloaded myfitnesspal and the difference it has made is unbelievable. Started at 18 stone 6 pounds. Two months later I am 16 stone 10 and losing a couple of pounds a week.

What it shows me is there is no real secret to dieting other than watching what you eat and getting regular exercise.

Paul.

    Hi Molly...you can do it. Maybe I am a sadist but I like the challenge of being under my calories for the day and haven't failed to be under since I started. Plenty of low fat, healthy options out there. Lots of stuff you think you couldn't do without you can !

    Good luck.

    Thanks Paul, great motivational words.

    No problem. Once people put their mind to it they can do anything. Losing a few pounds is child's play. Just need to keep on top of what you are eating, don't go hungry, but don't waste a good day with anything silly. You can do it, I can do it, we all can do it !
