Im 36 years old and Im about 180 to 200 pounds overweight.  I feel like
a real sack of sh.t being this overweight.  It makes me depressed.   I

Hi guys, I want to lose weight too but I find it so difficult.....I need to
be encouraged.

I'm sat here right now craving a packet of cheese and onion crisps. I mean
*really* craving them. I'm not going to give in tho..... I'm fighting it
every way I can. I've had breakfast and its another 2 hours til lunch...
think I might have a low point snack - definitely not ...

I lost another 0.6 lb. this week. This came as a pleasant surprise
because I haven't stayed OP this week as well as I could. So I'm back

drinking water.

Ack - I am having a sh*tty week and am desperately trying *not* to comfort
eat. Got back out on the bike yesterday, for a 20-miler, and as the day was
cool with relatively little wind, and nicely sunny, it was a pleasant ride.
I know my weakness is comfort-eating, so I am trying ...

Despite being a complete pig this weekend, I managed to lose 2lb last week.
I'm not getting too excited about that loss because I'm sure next week I'll

So part of this may be due to the changes I made to Core (for example:

Oh boy, now I AM depressed.  And totally confused.  I've been "good" for the

me up 1.6.  Two week's later my brother's do left me another 1.4 up.  So
that was 3 lbs, but since then.....  So, I was kinda ...
