I know it's easy enough for me to say, but it doesn't matter how much you've got to lose!! What matters is that you're doing something about it now and you'll NEVER have to see that number on the scales EVER again!! Just tell yourself that every single week!! Break it all down into mini goals, not just 1/2 stones but little bits like '2 lb to get into the next stone range', '2 lb to have lost 10lb (another decade as it were)', '1 1/2 lb to get under 200lb' etc etc!! I do that ALL the time, and the pounds soon mount up, just as they mounted up when I put it on!! Satisfying to know that we can lose it quicker than we put it on though!! Good luck, stick with us and we'll all get through this together!!XXX
