Well done ruby, i will be 3 stone lighter by Christmas, so far this year 8lbs have gone and i have started using a fantastic D.V.D recommended by Lupin called just walk a mile at home by Lesley Sansome, so easy to do and you dont need to move the furniture to do it !.Goodluck everyone, we can do it. Shall we check in again next week ?

What a good idea!
My aim is to stop smoking and loose weight this year. (Tall order, I know)
Neither ideas has actually happened yet, because I keep finding reasons why I can't do it "at the moment", but I am going to at least try!

Good luck with the February self-challenge, ruby! I don't think I could do it! And well done so far. ?

Well done with your healthier lifestyle Ruby. I need to make an effort but finding the cold weather is not helping. Not even looking forward to my usual healthy breakfast of fresh fruit and yogurt. Luckily have so far resisted changing it for a full English though! When it warms up really intend to walk more.

Another 5ft tub here. Gained nearly 2 stone when menopause kicked in. Weighed 9st 12 on Jan 1st. Have managed to drop 2lbs by walking more and eating less. Had a bad day yesterday due to bad weather and bad mood. Will give myself and good talking to today?

What a good idea Rubylady and very well done to you for losing so much weight since last September, keep going.

As I get older I realise that taking responsibility for my own healthy is very important. I have gone out for a short quick walk nearly every day since Xmas and am trying to cut back on high fat snacks and only have alcohol 3 days a week.

Onward and upward Girls smile

Welcome to a new you. This thread is for anyone to post regular updates on their improved health and lifestyle, be it food related, excercise or doing something for yourself which helps your mental health. I started out last September at 16 stones 10 pounds, now I weigh 15 stones 2 pounds. For the first time in years I am going to the hairdressers later. Get ready for No Snack February, there's a few days to eat those biscuits ? or chocolate bar ?. Good luck and I hope I'm not on my own doing this! ?Xxx
