      Yes it is, my family have all grown up and left home, there is just myself and my husband, he has never had a weight issue, whilst he is supportive, he also prepares the meals for when i come in from work! 

      It is such a struggle. 

      My willpower is rubbish but the desperation to get the excess off is making me quite miserable, which is not me.

      I used to feel like that hun but now im trying to look at it as a new way of eating as i no that even when i hit target i will still have to keep it up as ill put it all back on like so many times before. I say stay positive and keep going everyday and we will soon notice a difference and not look at it like a diet xx

      Thats fabulous, I bet you feel good too.

      Do you have a lot to lose, I am 5ft 8 and weigh 16.13.2, very precise because I am so obsessed that i don't get to 17 stone  frown

      I have 2 holidays booked this year, a mini break in May and a 10 day holiday in September, I am desperate to make some mark on the scales before May but my willpower is absolutly 'sh*te'! I can't be the only one who feels like this, my own worst enemy twisted
