I am very pleased to have found this web site, very informative, great information, and Liz, what an inspiration to us all. 5 years ago I weighed 120 kilos, I have lost about 50 kilos in lumps and now weigh about 72ish. But I have been at this weight for about a year and really would like to shift some more, I am about 165cm that is 5ft 4ins so would ideally like to be about 63 kilos. I am 52, so no spring chicken but to be honest it was really only since my children left home that I was in the right head space to give myself priority. I have discovered exercise and now go to the gym 4 times a week, mostly cardio, I go tramping with girlfriends when I can, I bike once a week and try and be active at other times. Even with all this exercise and a fairly healthy diet of predominately fruit, veges, lean protein and whole grain I am still not losing anything. Could be the wine! and the accidental cheese and chocolate binges. But the fact is I have not been keeping a food diary so don't know where I have been going wrong. So I have had a look at the fitday web site and I think I will give calorie counting a go. I do lunch out quite a bit and it can be hard to calculate calories of purchased meals but I will give it a go. I am off to Wellington for 4 days, visiting children and retail therapy, but when I am back I will start calorie counting I think 1200 a day would be right for me,what do you think Liz or anyone?

wow holy moly that's a good effort! Sounds a lot like me a fair bit there. Make sure you post some before and after pics - even the 120kg -> 72kg will be inspiring for a lot of people!
