I was doing ok for a cpl of weeks then the weekend was a total disaster. In 'cleansing mode' for a few days then I'll weigh again.

Water weight fluctuations do my head in. I was 13, 8 then down to 13, 3 and up to 13, 12, all within a cpl of weeks... heh

I decided at the start of December that it's pointless for me to even try to lose any weight before the new year, have set myself a 'must not exced' weight gain over crimbo too, hopefully that will see me start 2013 lighter than I have started any year since about 1998
At least I got down to a new low weight earlier this year, next year that will be beaten
Could you tell me what ipad app this is, it looks like just the thing I'm looking for to give myself some visual motivation with my weight loss.I seem to be winning. But it is clear that watching what I eat is going to be a lifelong exercise.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks, that's great.
I have not hidden the fact that I have a weight problem at 18.5 stones. So does my wife, currently at the same weight, but she is only five feet tall. I have genuine medical issues which don't help including a daily dose of steroids coupled with having had my thyroid gland removed. The basic rules of weight loss are not different though, balancing energy in, energy out. Problem is I like my food too much. In the New Year I have resolved to attack my weight and am signing up to a NHS course to help.
My wife joined Slimmers World about three months ago and is doing brilliantly having lost 1.5 stones. She is eating sensibly but most importantly has increased her exercise levels. She is walking more, our poor little dog doesn't know what has hit it! She has also joined a gym, which knowing her has really amazed me. She says she loves the treadmill. So, what she doesn't know is that yesterday I bought her a powered treadmill and we have to go collect it today. I have told her we are going out but not where! We had agreed to not buy presents for each other this year so that has gone out of the window.
With bikes she has real problems getting her leg over or through the frame. We bought a Raleigh 20 which she can ride but it is a bit clapped out. I was wondering if a teen girls bike with 24" wheels would be better for her, but she is going to wait and see if she can gain more flexibility in her legs which may make a normal sized bike useable.

They make good clothes hangers too if not being used for a while, don't ask me how I know this

As of Tomorrow.... I'm back on the straight and narrow, big time! Need to set myself some targets to hit and timescales in which to hit them, though. The softly softly, no pressure approach hasn't been working. Need to get tough! I'll post my weight here on Monday mornings to add extra incentive
