    hmmmm.....I could have written your opening post word for exact word! I would love to get back down to 70Kg. It was actually the perfect weight for me and I was a healthy size 10. Will try and keep you motivated and myself (I say as I am eating a packet of salt and vinegar chips!) I need help too

    Haha, sounds exactly like me - should be 60-65kg, currently about 90kg . I too want to get in to shape - at the moment I'm just walking with my DS in his pram every day.

    Sorry, no advice - but good luck .

    I know where you are coming from. I used to be 80kgs and am 67.5kg atm and have another 7.5kgs to lose.

    Just start off by walking on the treadmill for 15mins per day (the idea is to actually do it) and slowly increase the time and speed of the treadmill as you find it easier to complete. Add some floor work (abs), squats and lunges.

    Look at the Calorie King website. It is fantastic and free. It has an online food diary, tells you how many calories to eat, has an excercise diary, free meal plan etc..

    Check it out..

    Good luck

    MK - I've tried to lose weight a few times... more than I care to remember. I'm always successful... it just never stays off. And the reason was, I was always looking at a short fix - get the weight off. I never really got into my mind that it is a lifestyle change... until now. In the past, increasing my exercise and incidental activities is what has worked. At the moment, I am seeing a personal trainer for 1 hour twice a week and also doing cardio at home most of the week (I usually have 1 day off depending on my work roster). And I have also stopped making excuses. There is no excuse any more. I have a treadmill at home, two fitballs, therma bands, free weights (which I can't use at the moment due to an injury), boxing gloves and pads, skipping rope. But at the moment, I only do cardio and a couple of small exercises at home. I've been doing this for about a month and have lost about 3Kg... but I'm sure I have replace fat with muscle because some of my clothes are loser and people are commenting on how my shape has changed...

    Hope my waffling helps in some way...
