Hi there
I wonder if I can join in the July challenge at this late stage.

I have started today and really need the support. I am a constant dieter. Going from one to the next one. I suppose along the way I have become an absolute fount of knowledge on food, dieting, weight loss etc, just wish I could put it into practice!!! I suppose I would really like to lose about 10lbs by the end of this month, but am becoming a realist with each weight loss programme I go on, and so am aiming to get 8lbs off, which will bring me under 14st. I got such a shock when I weighed myself the other day. I had been doing the South beach diet since last Nov, and after an initial loss of 13lbs, I had some life issues that just sent me back to comfort eating, which is where my weigh problems come from. As I was doing an "American plan" I was weighing in lbs, and for some reason I hadnt realised that I weighed that much. I am now thinking that if I just remove some "real" food from my daily intake I may just have a chance. As you can see in my signature, I am 40 at the end of August, and I have been saying that I will lose for that but even that hasnt been enough of an incentive until now. So I hope that I can join today.
Looking forward to chatting to you all and being a support to each other.
