good on you for having the motivation - thats always a great start - send some my way hehehehe

I like calorie counting - i lost heaps of weight doing that and recording in a diary! can be a bit annoying to do but once u get into a routine its fine!
It really helps having a gym at my work!
I'm not so sure about the whole calorie counting thing. I don't know what to do. I'm really really fussy when it comes to my food. I'm only just starting to re-introduce red meat to my diet now that I have a slow cooker and actually like the meat. I'm totally fussy about it being cooked a certain way so it's tender, not fatty, I don't like grissle. As for chicken - I'll only eat it if it's chicken breast. I don't normally eat crumbed chicken because I want to actually see the meat that I'm eating. I can't eat seafood (allergic to some and just avoid all of it now). I think maybe I should see a dietician for a tailor made healthy eating plan.
