Good luck- and well done you are very brave to put that message up here. Good for you!

[desirestobehealthy in reply to AvatheGardener]

Well I thought once I saw in print and told someone it will force me to keep updating you all with my lose or that's the theory!! My husband just nods when i tell him hopefully maybe on her someone may listen!!!!

[Hidden]

Well done on taking that step. I weighed more than you when I started on 10 th September 2015. A few months hard work can make a difference. I have still a good way to go. I am sure you have the determination to do it.

[desirestobehealthy in reply to Hidden]

Hi ya I hope so, am sure you will reach your goal too.

That took guts, revealing your starting weight. Big cheer from me! You're just a lightweight though, I've lost 3st and have 6 more to go

We will always listen to what you have to say

All the best!

[desirestobehealthy]

Thanks moreless!! And well done you that's amazing you must be so proud of yourself!! Just went for a jog as well this evening really is a day for first I think this mayb the start of something good guys!! Thank u once again for the words of encouragement you all inspired me today and for that I thank you.

[Keep_on_going in reply to desirestobehealthy]

Well done on the jog. Are you doing the c25k?

[desirestobehealthy in reply to Keep_on_going]

I didn't start that today I just went with a friend but yes I think I will try that as well.

[Keep_on_going in reply to desirestobehealthy]

Yes,do give it a go. I started a while back and haven't looked back since. I was a little lighter than you when I started but it helped me lose weight and keep it off.

It's a real challenge but it's been such an achievement.

I've also just started hula hooping - I'm covered in bruises!

[desirestobehealthy in reply to Keep_on_going]

Hula hooping I haven't got the co ordination for that!! I shall give it a go then in for a penny in for a pound!! Il let you know how I get on. Ps don't think a hula hoop would get round my waist!!

[Keep_on_going in reply to desirestobehealthy]

😀 of course it would! I have a weighted one from Argos. I think it was around £15.

Be warned - it's addictive and can cause bruising.
