    Joanna's starting again....

    So - I've weighed this morning at 185.6lbs. Not good. Just seems to not go down :( Small steps. I'll aim to get below 180 first. That'd be a massive achievement to start off with. Food diary so far today: B - 1 slice of warburtons (it's white so 4 syns. Not ideal start but no brown in), with...

    Hi :) Yeah think we're half a stone out of each other :) I'm at 13 at the mo and want to get down to 9 st 7/10 ish. I'm little framed so I have far too much excess weight. Good luck to you too :) I know exactly what you mean about chocolate though. I'm a massive boredom eater x

    In Search of the Skinny Girl - v4.7

    So. Here I am again. The amount of times I've started these diaries and explained how I got fat blah blah blah is ridiculous. In short I blame it on an unfortunate working away lifestyle and an inability to resist temptation of "dirty" food. Dirty. There's a concept. "Clean" eating is a...
