Thanks everyone , it is always nice to have extra support and believe me I need it , if I am to conquer this,once and for all, and so far I feel so determined more so than I have in a long time.

I hope to loose another ten kgs then I am done, every time I have had a child I have carried the extra weight for many years, was ten years after having my son, and now it is 13 after my daughter,of course I have lost and re-gained it many times in those years, thank goodnesss I never had any more children eh? lol

I hopefully will beable to post another 5 kg loss in a couple of months or so, I am being realistic here, rome was not built in a day, and slow weight loss is better and I have more chance of maintaining it that way,then I hope to post some before and after pics,(when I reach my goal) don't hold your breath anyone, but I am feeling positive today, I need to buy some new scales, electronic WW ones that show 100 gram losses, as my old scales are letting me down, they only show 1kg losses, last week I had lost nothing according to them and I was very down, almost gave in to my old habits, but I did not, and I am glad because it took two weeks to show the 1kg loss, so I am averaging around 500 grms per week , which is an excellent and safe loss for me, it will of course get less as times goes on and when I hit the plateau I will have some ups and downs for sure.

The good thing is I am just not interested in blowing my programme, I have not fallen off the wagon yet and I DONOT intend to, but I am only human, but I am going to beat this big problem in my life if it is possible.
