10 Day Challenge
I've just found this - I'm too late for 10 days but . . . better late than never. I live in sunny Cyprus, but the first chill of autumn is in the air, so my body is looking for winter food i.e more carbs. This challenge should help me ease my way into the new season and, hopefully - no let's make that definitely - lose…

Topics Are Slowing Down - Are We all Still Committed
I've completed my first month, with lots of highs and more than a few lows. Thanks to all of you in our little community who have picked me up, kicked me gently and encouraged me on those days when I've needed it most, and also shared in my triumphs. I hope I've also managed to do the same for some of you out there. The…

I'm wondering if anyone out there has any…

Miserable weather here in England (see my topic - 'does weather affect your mood' ) it's been raining almost solidly for a week and it's so cold I'm back into winter woollies and we've had to light the log burner. All I want to do…

Does the Weather Affect Your Mood
It's a windy, wet morning and I don't like windy, wet weather. I hate going out, so it looks like a day indoors. Problem is, even though I have lots to do, I tend to drink more coffee and then I find myself hovering around the biscuit tin. Oh dear.:frown:

Day 2 - And Counting Down
I've planned today's menus so that I'm not caught short and grab something out of the 'fridge. Hubby's been away on business this week so it's been easy to stick to healthy eating. When he arrives home tomorrow the challenge will start - do I make him a 'Welcome Home' dinner?. If so I'm going to have to make mine a really…

New member introducing myself
Hi everyone, am so pleased to have found this group - it's just what I need to help me keep focused and committed to reaching my goal. Over the years I've lost weight and gained it back so many times, but have decided that there's more to life than being on a constant diet and this is the last time, ever that I will diet.…
