Thanks for the sound advice Joan, I will really consider what goals I can set for myself "WHEN" I reach my goal, that's a really helpful response! :) Kate... I too am so glad to find someone in a similar boat to me!!

Hi all!! Thanks for your welcome messages etc!! My finals ended in July, so I've been having that " I deserve a break" feeling for about a month! It was a nightmare as I do comfort eat through the stress of it all and also I was often too tired to cook meals so hubby and I would eat far too many takeaways etc :( anyway…

Just joined the forum and found this thread which looks great - I'd love to join THE! I have actually posted a thread just a few minutes ago as I'm feeling like I'm not getting very far very fast. I'm hoping to drop from 142 to about 130lbs after putting on a lot of exam-related weight during my finals!
