starting again

[Dutchgirl]

Hi,

is there anyone out there who is starting the 12 week challenge again tomorrow? I did well last year but after lots of bad months am almost back to where I was. I have to change or my future will include diabetes, high blood pressure and perhaps even worse. I am fairly weak willed and could do with a buddy or 2. Anyone want to join me?

Hi there. Yes I have decided to do something about my weight and am starting the program tomorrow. I also have concerns about my future health and need to lose at least a couple of stones.

Thanks for the message. I am so cross with myself that I have let things slip again. I eat when things get tough like so many others. I was 90kg this morning!

This time better eh?

[Zest Healthy BMI in reply to Dutchgirl]

Definitely! Do pop over to the Monday group weigh-in if you want us to include your stats there, you'd be really welcome!

Hello, yes! My first day, 143.5 to go!

I too am 90kg...

Have you downloaded the charts?

[Dutchgirl 1kg in reply to Happyhappyme]

How did the first week go?

[Dutchgirl 1kg]

Yes. I am not good at keeping records of what I eat though! Good luck with the first week.
