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 :whistle:
Think I'll be keeping mine a closely guarded secret after the amount I've put on :blush:
Good luck :thumbsup:

I'm hoping to shame myself into being good ;-)
How do you plan to tackle it, Potsy? Good to see different strategies.

My plan was to eat myself silly until Jan 1st then be as good as possible for as long as possible, the first part of the plan has gone very well :biggrin:
Tbh as long as I start 2013 lighter than I did 2012 I'll consider it progress :whistle:

Luckily I've had a stinking cold over the festive period which has constricted my appetite as well as my airways ... ;)... but I've still got stone and stones to work off in 2013; just need to keep my hands out of the cookie jar when I make several cups of coffee per night (it just happens without me realising it - the kettle's boiling, there isn't much to do whilst waiting, so the lid automatically [by hand] pops off the biccy barrel and out jump the choc-chip cookies!!). :thumbsup:

My ultimate goal - get back down to 12 and a half stone ... I've got a LONG way to go!!! :eek:

Get Pandora to put a padlock on the cookie jar, job done :thumbsup:

Just to let everyone know, the app is on offer in the App Store over Xmas. I got it for £1.99 that's with 70% off. Many thanks to doctornige. Merry Xmas everyone.

Bought this before christmas but have just put my personal details in to get started as of today, looks like a brilliant tool but,,,,,,,,,





It has also very clearly opened my eyes to what a horrible state I've got myself into, over 3 stone to lose, best stop buying biscuits then fatty!

It was the same here. I got a real shock and decided to sort it out. OK, it uses Framingham data for the risk factors, which UK GPs no longer use, but it is a very good place to start.

Made it through day 1 without using the biscuit barrel lid and only cried a little bit.

Haven't actually seen a choc chip cookie in 28 hours, 32 minutes and 43 seconds. Not bothered though!



























Who am I kidding, I feel like I've lost an old friend

I am trying to sign up at myfitnesspal but my username that I use here is taken, along with some other good ones I could think of. Tiny, Slim, Stringbean, Haystack, I even tried Twiggy. :dry:

I am cutting back on the food intake for the new year. I lost 24 lbs since August with the riding and not a lot of diet adjustment. I am going to have to work on the food part now that it is cold weather. I tend to want the sweets and carbs more during colder weather. I think using the food intake log might be a nice way to help.

I am going to stay out of stores as well. I went to the grocery store on new year's eve and I am not going back until Feb. if I can help it. I did buy some sweets but not the really heavy duty rich stuff that I like. I expect the next couple of weeks to be a little rough as I go thru some carb withdrawal headaches and such but it will be worth it. I have done it before and lost a lot of weight doing it. I am at the age now that I need a lifestyle change. I might not drop the weight as fast as before because I am not going to restrict as much as I did before. I am going to start trying to eat healthier. Something that can be a little more difficult this time of year.

I am trying more for a lifestyle change with my eating habits.I plan on not letting the weight come back after it goes away this time. I already have a lot of spring and summer clothes that I bought on sale very cheap on close out this past fall....in sizes smaller than I can wear right now. ;)

I wish everyone success with their goals this year. :thumbsup: ......oh yeah btw, I will figure out a myfitnesspal user name...I was not asking for suggestions...I think the bad word filters are on here anyway. :tongue:

I just weighed myself to check the damage from the festering festive season and I was pleased to find that I have managed to sneak in under my 15 stone limit. I knew that I'd put some weight on but didn't want to see a weight of 15-x again. So, 2013 begins with me at 14-13 and subject to my health continuing to improve, I hope to get down to 13-x again this year, or maybe even 12-x!

Do any of you know of a free weightloss/fitness site where I can input a load of backdated weights? (I'm a bit of a stat freak!)

I've got weight data from back in early 2011 that's currently stored on a subscription based weightloss site. I'd really like to cancel the subscription because I'm only using the site to update my weight and post on the forum, but I don't want to lose the pretty downward sloping graph of my weight! I've tried myfitnesspal, but that only seems to allow you to log today's weight.
