Hi everyone, Well done! I couldn't get on here yesterday as I was so busy. I weighed myself on Tuesday, and I had put on a pound. :-(. I now weigh nine stone, thirteen and a half pound. I read somewhere, maybe on this thread, that it's good to aim for a lower weight than your real goal, because it makes you lose weight quicker. I want to be nine and a half stone ultimately, so I should aim for nine stone I suppose. I don't really think nine stone would suit me though. I have to keep wearing long tops to hide the fact I can't do up any of my trousers or skirts. All I want is for my clothes to fit me again. Why am I so slow at losing weight? I wouldn't be losing weight at all if it wasn't for this thread. My weight would've just slowly crept up and up, so thanks to everyone for your help. :-)
