Seeing as so many of us are trying to shift those excess Xmas pounds, I thought we could do with a diet forum. We can be a support group for each other when the choc cravings get too much.

My current weight: 13st 5lbs

My target weight: 12st 4lbs

Weight loss so far: 1lb, but I weigh myself once a week on a Saturday, so bear in mind that week does include New Year's Eve when I consumed many liquid calories! I consider this week the first week 'proper'.

I've had four chunks of CDM Wafer today, which I don't think is too bad. I also stuck to my low fat houmous and bagels for lunch, even though I had to go to Greggs for a colleague and could really have done with a pasty (hangover!)

What exercise have you done, Smurfy? Exercise is the key...

I've been to the gym - once. It was only about a fortnight since I'd last been, but it felt like a lifetime! I'm going to do better this week.

OK Smurfy I'll join in. I am aiming to lose 2 stone by 20 May and I'm being sponsored to do so in aid of the children's cancer charity Clic Sargent. (Anyone want to sponsor me?)

I started on New Year's Day, have been walking to work, going to two dance classes a week and I'm off to a new exercise class in about ten minutes. So far I've lost.......(fanfare)......two pounds!

My current weight: Fat

My target weight : Not so fat

I have bought a pink talking skipping rope and a pedometer and plan to lose 2 stone for my big 40 in June.

I am quite trim and I think lots of walking is the key.

Lou, what sort of thing does your skipping rope say?

Good idea smurfy! I will join in aswell.

Current Weight 9st 7lbs

Target Weight 9st

I am setting myself small goals. Once I reach 9st I will see how I feel and if I want to lose anymore. Being short does not help either! I walk from Charing Cross to work and back again so I get 40 minutes a day walking that way. I intend to walk home from the train station every night, that is another 25 mins.

My weigh in day is saturday morning.

A bit like my talking scales - they keep saying "One at a time please."
