hi i joined a while ago but have not introduced myself. i have been dieting on and off for a number of years trying every diet under the sun (usually fad ones that u can't stick to) was following s/w but kept staying the same weight or putting a bit back on so decided to count calories instead and that made me realise just how much i had been consuming so it's no wonder i had stopped losing and i think as i get older (i am 53) it is harder to lose the weight as i am not very active. i have lost 17lbs so far but want to lose another stone at least. good luck to anyone that reads this heres to a healthier slimmer summer

Hi Val, I'm a chaholic too!! Even the smell drives me crackers!!
However, I have been doing the Very OLD WW coupled with calorie counting and have lost 24lb since last April - slow but sure. I am 76 and disabled so my exercise ability is just about nil but so determined to get this weight off for good...
Good luck to you too Val.

Onwards and Downwards!!
