Hi, newbie to the site from Southern England, Im 37 & female, looking to lose at least 28lb which would take me down to about 130. Ive lost about 36lbs so far as I was getting really lardy & needed to do something as I was getting very depressed with my weight & life in general. This weightloss wasnt easy this time, as I am soooooo lazy & really need to get myself into a REGULAR excercise routine. Hope to make some new pals as one thing I AM keen on is sitting on my butt posting & chatting. Luck & best wishes to you all, but before I go, cant resist posting this carrot

Hi Whippet and welcome. Have you found the UK forum yet? It's a good idea to post an introduction there as well.

Your stats are very similar to mine albeit that you've come alot further. I'm 35 and I have to say that I'm finding this a **** of alot harder than previously as well. Stick around, post loads and just jump right in.

Hi there! I am doing this diet all over again having lost 2stone three years ago n put it back on grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Am determined to do it again AND keep it off this time think we all need a bit of support n hoping to get it on here
