Hi Mandy,

I am just cutting down my calories daily.

I'm a builder so do a lot of walking etc. but over the last yr or so I've had to let the older guys do some bits because I can't fit in small spaces/out of breath coming up ladders.

I am going to try to lose 7stone to get to 15st

Do you know Rob?

Tommy

Cutting calories is a good place to start. Have you done the calorie calculator thingy to work out how many you should be having daily?

Not nice when things like that start to happen (i had similar troubles) but you have committed to making a change which is brill

Wow that is a big goal but achievable, I wish you all the luck I'm the world

No I don't know Rob, but with you mentioning him I have found him and are now following him too.
