Hi Lesley

so glad you are going to weigh in on Mondays I don't have much will power and on my own I am quite likely to give up by week two so many thanks

Having looked at your post and the subsequent replies I am pleased to say I feel like a spring chicken at 54 :P

When I first started I also thought I would need a buddy to help me through but it soon became evident that the support from this group is just as good if not better.

People quickly get to know you if you post often and you will always have a friend around ready to cheerleader for you and help you out of a tight spot.

Welcome!

So just watching strictly eating my last uncontrolled calorie sandwich and wondering what time everyone will be doing their weigh in's. I personally like to weigh myself early mornings.If i get the urge to snack i'll come on the forum and re-read everyones post .

On that note good luck everyone !!!
