hi,
i have never done this before, i have tried many things over the years to lose weight, diet and exercise both, i usually do okay for about 3 months and then fall back into bad habits again and before i know it i'm right back where i started.
i was going to weightwatchers last year (2008) for a few months and lost 19kg in approximately 4 months, i then stopped going because of lack of time, tiredness due to my job - i work night shift 56 hours a week and since then i have gained back 8kg.
recently it has been starting to bother me again so here i am again trying to get back on track!

Our reward is not for starting the race, it's for finishing it.

It's never too late to get back in the race. You can start running again today. The finish line is still where it used to be.
