Hi guys,
I used to be a regular on the Cambridge Diet forum, I lost over 4 stone on CD in about 12 weeks, then...I put over 5 stone on!! This was approx 2 years ago.

I've decided to come back to minimins for help, support and advice on Calorie Counting...I was going to change my user name etc... and join mini mins as a newbie...but I have nothing to hide so here I am, SJ they used to call me on the CD forum, but my name is Jo, I don't mind what you call me as long as it isn't 'fat'!!

I'm not feeling upbeat at all about cal counting...only because I've failed so many times at many diets...I do however really want to lose weight, about 6.5 stones. I know it will be a struggle, but I hate being the way I am, and I need to get back to the old me... I've only been over weight for about 7 years and I'm now age 36 so have spent most of my life being really slim, and want to continue my life that way.

I've been reading some posts on this part of the forum this morning and I've been encouraged by them..so hopefully my first day of calorie counting will begin today.

So, hello to you all

xx Jo xx
