well, pleased to report that things are going a bit better than earlier in the week. I have resisted many temptations (although not all...lol) but I have not gotten off my lazy backside and walked anywhere yet!!! I agree 50guy, walking is great exercise...I think some of my lack of motivation is the heat and humidity at the moment although if I am honest I just can't be bothered . Oh- and when I weighed myself the other day on my never-used scales (hehe) i discovered that it reads in pounds too- so as a starting point I am about 160lb
