Well done for your good start. Bit by bit you will get there. Its going to be a journey not a race. I think this forum is a great help for me anyway. It will give you advice and motivation and pick you up when you are having bad days. Love the quote too.

Thanks. I have been putting this off for years managing to lose a bit then giving up and now at my heaviest ever I have to do it.

I know its so hard especially when you love food if you are like me. I found I had got up to my heaviest too so about 4 weeks ago I decided I needed to do something. I really do find this forum has helped as you realise that you are not alone in doing this and there is always something to read or comment on. I am so trying to not think of it as a 'diet' but as a new way of life. Not eating all the biscuits I was eating, not picking while cooking the dinner and definitely cutting down on portions. Its getting over that stage of losing a bit then giving up. It's hard as you get fed up with constantly thinking about what you are eating. Don't deny yourself treats but think of them as treats only and don't let your old habits creep back. Best of luck and I am sure you will get to your goal this time.

You are right thinking of it as healthy eating rather than a diet, I think back to last June after having a heart attack at 47 years old and wish I had been in a better place then to do something about it then instead of adding even more weight to lose, yes I adore my food but to be honest I think its the wine with me. This forum is great it seems to give you someone to be accountable to and spurs you on, I love the exercise challenges. Still my head is in the right place now so onwards and downwards.
