I have broken my weight loss into smaller chunks my first one being to loose two stone before a wedding in April. My sister is also needing to loose weight so we have agreed that we will do something together when reach each goal like a cinema trip. Maybe you could set yourself some non-food rewards.

I've also just joined tonight. I once lost 11stone over a 18mth period. I kept it off for just over seven yrs but it took me just 2yrs n 8mths to put it all back on. I found that if I made really small targets ie 7 lbs or a stone, I could see these targets as quite easy to reach and before long I was passing them all by. Good luck.
