Great way of doing it - so much easier than dieting :)

Can I join as well please. I am currently 11 stone 2 and I am aiming for 10 stone 7 for May.

You'll be losing weight Dr Pat with all the work you're putting into this! :w00t:

Calorie counting gets easier as one's diary progresses and you just need to reference back to the same food you had previously.

The major advantage of calorie counting is if you do have your bar of chocolate etc it hurts having to write in 500 calories into the diary:thunbdown:. I'm calorie counting for the last week now and surviving on 1500 calories a day Mon to-Fri and a little higher at the weekend (can't be a miser the whole time ;)).

i have been counting calories too but using Fitday.com. I thought I had been really good today but still consumed 1768. RDA for women is 1940 and I need to get rid of 500 from that to shed 1lb per week apparently. I didn't do any exercise today at all becuase of work (which involves a great deal of sitting on my bum). Ah well, got me salad made again for tomorrow and will run 4 miles which should help matters! Good luck everyone and thanks Dr PB for organising :-)

I would quite like to join as I'd like to lose a few pounds but don't have any scales which makes it tricky. I may have to get back to you on this and see if I can get some without becoming obsessive. Perhaps I could lock them in the garden shed and only go in there once a week.:o

Anyway, good luck everyone.
