Smile UK newbie

New to the forum that is, but not to issues with weight!
I just wanted to say hello. I've done a bit of an intro in the intro threads (it seemed the right thing to do ) but thought that since I'm a Brit I should come and say hello in here too
Brief background (I don't want to bore you all!) - I used to be very heavy (217lbs at my highest, and I'm only 5 feet tall! ) and am now happy at around the 120lb mark. There are fluctuations (always up!) as I tend to let things lapse when I'm stressed, but in the last couple of weeks I've decided that I need to re-focus and get back into exercising the way I used to. I'm pretty good with my diet (I'm a dietitian and try to practice what I preach) but I definitely eat more chocolate than I should and honestly have no willpower when it comes to crisps
Anyway, my focus is on exercise. I'd like to tone up a bit more than I am now - I've had various injuries/illnesses in the past year and am feeling pudgy - so I'm getting myself back into the gym and have just ordered the 30 Day Shred dvd to see what all of the fuss is about
So... hello! *waves*

Hi there sweetie, and welcome. Congrats on the huge loss you've achieved and well done on making the decision to get back on the exercise horsie

Sounds like you've settled in pretty much. But this place is fab. It's certainly stopped me from freaking out this morning after my weigh in lol

Anyway, have fu , and we're always around if you need a kick up the bum or just a chat about anything

Hello and welcome! Sounds like you don't need too many nudges from us at 120lbs and a dietician! But if you want to firm up, Jillian Michaels is definitely the right way to go. That woman is my hero!
