Its £15 a month for me cos I get tax credits I think it would be £30 a month for you, remember that includes all classes, swimming and use of the gym.

Im at the uni gym, 30 quid for a year! Woot!

also get a excersize routine together which'll include press ups, sit ups etc.
oh and take up swimming again as thats one of the few excersixes that you use your whole body rather than certain parts

Im planning on just loads of fruit and veg.

Those mini tubs of extra light phili are fab for dunking stuff in, and hoummus and pitta breads are ace.

I want to go to the gym 3 or 4 times a week, and really push myself.

Nothing too strict because I just go off it! If I take a bit of cake, just not go overboard the rest of the day, basically. Kept me going through Christmas.

I think I'm going to do my detox towards the end of January, give myself a couple of weeks to give up the fags first.
Then I'm going to rejoin the gym and start off with maybe 1 class a week and 1 day swimming (hopefully building it up over time), I want to cut out bread-type food from my diet and start eating a lot more fruit and vegetables. I'm not really looking to attain a specific weight although I think I'll weigh myself weekly to keep an eye on progress.

Hopefully by the summer I'll be a bit happier.

Y'know, losing weight makes you feel sooo much better, you're right.

I wanna be in full health for my exams this year.

ha ha I wouldn't actually know, the only time in my life I've ever managed to lose a significant amount of weight was through going out all the time, spending a lot of my life drunk or sleeping it off, so I wasn't really happy as such (that and having babies - NOT while drunk). This will actually be the first time in my life I've made a conscious effort to lose weight and get healthier.

I'm in for this - I started a few days ago am counting calories and exercising on home equipment. I'm hoping by springtime I will have lost some weight and would feel more confident going jogging or something outside too.

I'm definitely aiming to loose weight by the summer.

I lost an amazing amount of weight (3 stone) a few years back by joining Weight Watchers,
but over time I have put two back on.

Jinx, only not on Weight Watchers, cause I was so fed up I wanted to do something about it!
