i have recently found this website and have never done anything like this before, i have tried everything from the cambridge diet, to winning a competition with a national newspaper to lose weight, to having a personal trainer on hand and then lastly having a gastric band fitted and then removed a couple of monthslater at great expense to myself because it was infected..... so now lets try the old fashioned way of counting calories and eating well and putting my daily battle onto this website to see if i can motivate myself. ill give it a go.
