A new me for 2016. :)

Can't keep calling myself curvy.

Can't keep listening to people who 'love me as I am'.

I'm overweight. :(

In fact, according to BMI stats, I'm obese!!!

Ouch that hurts.

Currently single AND jobless, so have plenty of time to do something about it.

Wish me luck. :)

Even better join me!!

It's kind of lonely, doing this on my own.

You are not on your own, write everything down that you eat and don't eat anything each day until you have worked out your calorie allowance then make sure you don't eat sugar or much carbohydrate. it has worked for me and I have stopped the cravings by cutting out sugar. Good luck keep reading this

Hi,

If you have a bit of spare time how about doing some walking, it's a great form is exercise and also gives you time to think.

You'll get lots of advice and support here. Take a look at your portion control as this is often a huge factor.

Good luck :)

Yes, I'm planning to fit in some walking, thanks.

People think because I have a dog that I walk twice a day, this should make me fit and slim. But my walks with him are slow, leisurely affairs, I spend most my time standing around, while he stops and sniffs everything!!

Just need to find some time to fit in a proper walk, in between doggie walks!

A 20 minute brisk walk is meant to work wonders, so hopefully you can squeeze that it :)

Hi and welcome Dreamer :)

I'm going to give you an overload of info and you can take from it whatever you wish :)

1. NHS 12 week plan

nhs.uk/Livewell/weight-...

2. Monday group weigh-in

healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh....

3. Around the World challenge

Other than this, it's just left for me to say, here's to 2016 and you joining our community :)

You have done the tough bit by deciding to act. I made a simple graph and weighed myself every 3 days and plotted it. Lots of bumps up and down but after a while you can see the trend down. It helped me seeing this and realising how hard and long it took me to get down and pushed me on, when a blip occurred

Well done
