Hi Softrockstar
Loads of encourage ment coming your way from here! Thats a great loss.
Alcohol is my problem, not that i'm an alcoholic or anything :-) What exercise are you doing? I really love walking but feel its not enough so have got a Rosemary Conley DVD.

hey SRS thats great!! well done! it was wierd to read your current weight and goal weight is quite similar to mine!! my weight at mo is 13.7, and my goal is 10.7! maybe we can help eachother! hope to hear from you? how are you doing now? (i notice this post was in march!!)

also hello to northwest! (not sure how the site works yet, personal messaging etc!) alcohol is my downfall too, over last few years my whole social life has revolved around going out to pubs and clubs, and then inevitably takeaways on the way home! oops! gotta change the way i think about 'having a good time' without consuming fattening beers and burgers!!

good luck guys! lets help eachother out!

Hi

Welcome to the forums.
Well done for starting a journal and on your weightloss! :-)
I try sticking to around 1200 cals a day myself with around 20-30 mins walking or exercise. Seems to be working ok for me too.
The gym can get so boring, esp if you go on your own.

I'm one of the Mods on Diets, so any problems please let me know.
Look forward to reading more on your journals.
keep up the good work all!
