    Hello Kirsty.

    One thing that keeps you motivated is starting. 1st, realizing what you eat (keeping track) helps alot in 2 aspects, first, it makes you conscience of what your are putting into your body and 2, helps you make better decisions in what to eat and when every day. It also helps you realizes indulging yourself is not bad at all when you learn to eat more properly each day.

    The second thing would have to be and guarantees your success much more, do exercise. There are plenty of information in how to start exercising slow and then do more, but what I recommend, is to find exercises that you like, also, exercising while watching TV or listening to music makes time fly! which is great.

    I hope you decide for the firsts step soon: start. Good luck!

    Deffinatly will try the water/ club soda trick! Thanks so much for the tips. You are all so inspirational!! I'm feeling very positive about changing myself for the better.

    Deffinatly have started to make the most of opportunities at work to exercise as much as possible, i work as a carer so i support people with learning disabilities to go swimming/ out for walks. This is really helping me to be more active. I'm also going to start more exercising with my sister who is also battling to lose weight. Together we will have more motivation and try and turn exercising into a fun activity!!!

    And for snacking the calorie counting on here helps me so much, checking before i eat to judge whether or not it's worth eating!! Generally seeing all your reply's makes me feel like i'm not alone. If anyone cares to add me i'd really love to try and help you like you are doing with me. What lovely people =] xoxo

    Hiya Kirst, I'm in Wigan and I weigh the same as you. I've added you as a friend, hope you don't mind. I joined here a few years ago, but thought the site wasn't very good back then, so didn't bother. I recently looked back at it, and it has developed so much, so I'm going to stick around. I could never understand until this week why I can't shift my weight. It's only until I started logging what I was eating, I became aware. I used to just scoff out of the fridge without even realising it. I'm not a big drinker, but when I do, I like the bad stuff like creamy cocktails.

    Good luck

    Claire xx
