Hi Val

you've made the first step and I'd say it's a good one. There's so much help & support on here and everyone is so friendly.

When I first started - only 2 weeks ago - I spent a while looking round the posts on here and was inspired by so much of it.

I personally find that tracking my calories on My Fitness Pal website really helps and that combined with the help on here I've managed 2 weeks and 5lb weight loss. But you'll find what's rught for you and everyone on here will be here to help as much as we can.

All the best to you

Ruth

hi there, I am overweight too. I would like to lose another 3 stone, and I have lost 4 stones since last November. It is good to do something about being overweight, and you just have to start somewhere. It is a new beginning, the start of trying to change the lifestyle and eat healthily. For me too it was necessary to get more active, so I now go regularly to an aqua class. Good luck to you Val. Anne

Hi Ann, you must be very proud of yourself, you are making excellent progress, its so good to hear this, it will encourage me and help keep me on track. I enjoy exercising, it just difficult to manage time. I hope you are enjoying your aqua class, there are good fun.

kind regards

Good luck! I decided to do the same just over a week ago. It might not be a quick thing but try to keep motivated. I find writing updates on here helpful it puts a bit of pressure on me to actually make sure I stick to my plan!
