Hi lemonthyme
Yes, when I think about 40lbs it is very daunting.It seems such a huge amount.I have found the "leaving the 160's" thread here, which seems like a good idea. It feels easier to think of it all in smaller units indeed.
It's only Day 3 and my diet is going good so far.I have also done exercise each day too. Today I am meeting a friend for dinner but i have already looked at the menu and i'm going to have the pork chops with fresh vegetables.I will also walk there and back, which is just over 7km altogether.
A lot of it is about making good decisions, which doesn't always come easy to me!!
Ok, thanks again
