Thanks everyone.... I do feel really proud that at long last I am managing to change the habits of a lifetime.... but also feel a bit sad that it has take me so long to change ... My mum first took me to ww when I was about 12 - basically been on a diet (although obviously not sticking to it) for the past 30 plus years. BUT onward and upward... can't change the past but the future is looking slim and gorgeous !!
