I started calorie counting (thanks to Fatsecret) in summer 2013 - I managed to loose a good chunk of weight that year and was really pleased with the results. I haven't quite got down to my goal weight though.

I was back in 2015 because i'd put nearly half of the weight I'd lost back on! I managed to loose what I'd put back on then gradually stopped calorie counting, early 2017 I was back again but didn't stick with it for very long.

Although I have managed to keep my weight down I really would like to get closer to my goal weigh this year (2018), the problem is I seem to hit a plateau then give up!

The only thing that seems to work for me is counting my intake, I have recently got a step counter, and hope to start exercising a bit more. On an average day I do 6 - 8 thousand steps but I want to get this up to 10,000, its really hard when you come home from work and have tea to cook and housework to do though!

I live in North Wales (UK). I'm am mum of three teenagers and in my late 40's.
