I've lost 8lb since the 3rd January
![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
currently weigh 18st 8lbs, 5ft 10, would like to get down to 15st by Christmas, hopefully it'll give me a lot more confidence (mine is zero at mo, so much to the point that I consider myself hideous, and my weight has meant that one or two women I've fancied I've never had the confidence to ask them out due to this
![Sad :(](./images/smilies/icon_sad.gif)
) and it's also for health reasons (on my Mum's side of the family five members died of heart attacks

)
In all honesty all I've done to change my diet is to improve my breakfast at work (porridge instead of sausage or bacon sandwiches) cut down on booze (I hadn't drunk a drop from 3rd-30th Jan, only started again due to a trip up north & to be honest I realised I didn't miss alcohol that much at all) & just stop picking at sweets, etc. in the office (the office is where I probably eat badly, as did about 15 of us & as I mentioned in another thread we've all been weighing in weekly). I haven't been a complete saint, but because I've balanced my food much better this time & smaller portions for meals it's seems to be working

I'm planning on joining my local Fitness First next weekend for 3 months, just to see how I go, plus I can't afford a 12 month subscription, and hopefully get fitter & thinner.
According to the BMI I should be 10st, if I have a light skeleton (I don't so I'd look ill) or 13st if I have a heavy skeleton, 15st is where I'd like to get to. We had a health visitor last year who said himself that the BMI no longer works as it doesn't take bone mass into account, I was slightly over average at 3.7, a work colleague of mine was 4.5 & the bloke said it was the thickest bone mass he'd ever seen.
Anyway good luck to all with this, I know it can be a bastard to lose weight, I know I've gone up & down over the last ten years.
Anyway enough of my waffle
