Hi,

I only found this site a couple of days ago, but already it is changing my life! I gradually put on an extra 3st over a 3-4 year period whilst my boyfriend was working away midweek (mostly due to increased wine consumption and the carb munchies the following day!)

I have been moaning about my weight for ages so gave up alcohol completely about 4 months ago and lost about half a stone in the process, but then nothing no more weight loss even though I have always eaten pretty healthily and now regularly go to the gym (3-4 times a week min.) so I was getting really down in the dumps and wondering "why"...

After finding the site I realised that my portion sizes were way way too big for my 5'2" body!  And it is amazing how you can sneak in extra calories throughought the day without realising! Very easy to fool yourself that you have eaten less than you actually have!

The very best thing about the site I think is the analyser - I am very keen for really healthy weight loss so although its all about calories in vs calories out - I wanted the in's to be of the best quality.  Health is much more important than weight, but with health usually comes a healthy weight too : )

I am now feeling myself becoming slightly obsessed by what food is going into my body and striving for that 'A' on the nutrition analysis page!

I've also realised that having that slight hunger feeling between meals is good, not starving but feeling like I'm really ready for my dinner, before I had forgotten what that feeling was and was obviously over feeding myself!

So thanks to whomever set up this site - its brilliant, and is being a real motivation to me to get back to that fit and healthy girl I once was! And as a extra motivation I have booked myself a snowboard holiday next season, so intend on being fit and healthy by then and a whole lot slimmer!!
