well I have finally taken the plunge - my dress feels like a corset so time for action

I enjoy my food, exercise like a mad woman at weekends but am stuck to my office chair during the week and my weight is increasing, every time I look at myself I appear bigger! My clothes no longer fit and jeans get stuck 3/4 up my legs. Feel totally fed up so on a mission to look in the mirror and like the reflection that looks back at me!

Welcome, I hope you find what you need in this community. You'll find many motivational posts here! Start by dowloading an app on your phone to keep track of calories (Fat Secret, My Fitness Pal...), it's a great aid! Good luck!

It's a huge mountain to climb as I sit on my butt all day in the office so burn zero calories for 9 hours a day x 5 aagghh

Yeah it's frustrating when you're stuck in an environment which makes it hard for you to move. Would you be able to sit on a gym ball? It would work your core to keep your balance... Is there any chance to stand a bit more at work - helps your back and uses more calories. Can you go for a walk at lunchtime? Just a thought...
