Hello everyone! I was recommended this site by a friend and I can tell it's going to be invaluable already..
I'm 34, currently weigh about a stone less than my heaviest but it's still far too much, my BMI is currently in the obese category (33) at 13 stone 10
I've yo-yo'd since my teens, my lowest weight was 10 stone 4 about three years ago but it's piled on since then and I've used WW and SW but I suppose never really understood the logic behind points/syns/free food etc.
Yesterday I decided to get a grip for 2010 and have joined Nutracheck which is basically just an online food diary but for the first time I understand how many calories I'm supposed to eat a day to lose weight. I'm on 1400 per day plus 200 to burn in exercise and they reckon I can lose 2 1/2 stone by May 17th...it's on the calendar to motivate me!
Wish me luck guys
