Failure....!!
Failure refers to the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. So if we have a bad day have we failed?, if we see a few red figures on our Food Diary at the end of the day have we failed?, if we haven't exercised as much as we did last week have we…

New to all of this.....
Hey! My names Ben, never joined a message board before so this is a tad alien to me. Although I have never been determined to make such a change to my lifestyle I suppose! I started just under 3 weeks ago at a start weight of 343lbs (I'm from the UK so stones is the norm for me but I'm learning ;) ) and so far have lost…
