Cheryl.briscoe@gmail.com - add me please :)

Am I too late to join?

I had a not so great week but I'm brushing it off and starting again!

I'll send you a request too

I can't add anyone - not sure why. Feel free to add me ladies.

You can add me

Thanks for resurrecting. I have more or less cut out takeaway food now - mainly because I had two children and prefer to cook than feed them crap. I agree that the focus should be on overall health rather than calories in vs calories out.

I have a 7 month old who I breastfeed and I don't want to compromise milk supply but need to lose 20lbs or so

Ghirardelli 60% dark chocolate squares - never heard of them. Anyone know if they sell them in the UK????

I have discovered Mocha - it helps!

I feel so much more motivated now. I can see that it's all about making small changes as I go along rather than depriving myself. A little of what I want is not too bad but in moderation. I was even motivated to do 20 minutes exercise before leaving for work this morning :happy:

I am so pleased that I asked the question. You guys have definietly made me look at things differently and I have seen the light - I even made sandwiches for my lunch today so I will be giving the chip shop a miss! Thank you all for your comments.

I am definitely seeing the light here guys. Since joining up I have already started eating more fruit and less chocolate.The last "sin" I need to kick is takeaways - McD's, KFC and the chip shop.

I wish there was a "like" button like you have on Facebook - :smile:

This is really helpful stuff. Thanks so much guys. My main problem is lunch at work - I always take the easy option and go to the chippy. I'm then full up for the rest of the day though so end up skipping dinner.........

OK, so maybe cut down and moderate rather than go cold turkey?

I am so happy to hear that!!! I am trying to add in some fruit and water etc but I don't want to give up chips!

I have tried buying the kids size bars. So far, so good.........

I really, really faniced a Boost bar at lunch time and when I checked it was 305cals!!! I put it right back on the shelf :sad:

Sounds like I have been missing loads. Could you say whether you are buying these chocs in the UK or not please?

This sounds good. Do they taste like real chocolate though??

I've been looking at everyone else's goals and I'm starting to think mine is too high. Should I re-evaluate??

Diskko - you must find that people do not understand your motivations and I must admit neither do I but I am pleased to hear that you have a point at which you stop and know your limits rather than spiralling out of control.

Diskko - will you stop when you reach your goal weight?

I'm 5ft 8 - nice to find this thread. My goal is 175lbs - that feels comfortable for me.

I've only just joined myself. Welcome.

How do you access the spreadsheet?

This is a fabulous idea. I've only just joined up but count me in. I'm weighing in at 192lbs right now but by xmas WILL be 175lbs. That is my goal - although the charts still say I'm overweight at 175lbs I don't want to go below that at all.
