Hi,

Welcome to WW!

Your starting with a great mindset which is the first step. My main tips for being successful are plan your week ahead if possible! This sounds simple but how many times have you got to tea time and been undecided what to have or forgotten to defrost something so ended up with a takeaway or a frozen pizza (this of course, may just be me!). Also, by planning ahead, you can plan your food shop and limit the chances of buying too much rubbish! I used to always end up at the shop when i was hungry and would stock up on fancy but calorific bread or cakes and such like. My last tip is make sure you eat things you enjoy if only in moderation. If you feel like you are depriving yourself then you are more likely to cheat or slip up. Even when you do have a bad day, just start again the next day and move on. Guilt is a wasteful emotion and the odd blip won't kill you!

Good luck!

Yep that sounds exactly like me, ha, I'm very determined but my downfall is I'm not organised I never plan ahead which I'm going to have to change if I want to improve my health and life I no I can do it I lost 4 stone in 5 months two years ago on sw without much trying so thank u for the advice u shall take it inboard.
