Congratulations on reaching the target that you set yourself! That must be so satisfying. For my own gain, I am interested to know over what time period that was that you lost 2st 4lb? I am hoping to lose 2st myself but I think it is reasonable to expect it to take me 2 years. I have no idea though, so we'll see.

It has taken me about 2 years since I decided to begin... although that was with about a 5 month period somewhere in it where I lost motivation but remained the same weight. I think it is more accurate to say that I have lost 1st 10lbs in the past year. If it helps I found that a little exercise every day straight after I got up helped (when I was too sleepy to register the torment I was about to put myself through). As did a food diary where I noted down everything I ate and drank along with the calorie content and fat/saturated fat and worked out a reasonable quota for each of these so that I was taking in a little less than I actually needed on a day-to-day basis. The food diary definitely made me much more aware of what I was eating and what exactly was in it, it's quite surprising sometimes how foods that market themselves as 'healthy' or 'good for you' are REALLY calorific for what they are (Go Ahead stuff comes to mind). Also, the Wii Fit has been a major factor in my weight loss; I don't think I would have managed it
