Thanks for the welcome Ally. Good to know there are real live people out there. I want to lose quite a bit - don't quite know how it got to this stage! How often do you all weigh? Also, have a job, doing a degree, have an OH who is naturally thin, 3 daughters, one of whom is vegetarian, one of whom who is very very thin with poor eating habits (tho not anorexic thank god) and another daughter with a big appetite, but who dances and keeps her weight down that way. Also a future son-in-law who has to have gluten free. I am demented trying to feed them all and end up eating everybody elses leftovers as well as my own. Any tips gratefully received!
