Weight gain

Happy new year to everyone. 2015 was a good year for me and my family, but the good times have now caught up with me having to post in shame a 4.2 lb weight gain. Hello 2016. The diet starts today!

And personally, I hate the word "diet". It's an instant set up for failure. I prefer "lifestyle change."

Yes i agree diet is an awful word to use but i tried the lifestyle change and that was a disaster too. On the positive side ive nearly done 10000 steps on a wet and windy dark day and havent gone over my calorie allowance. Taking it one day at a time. In work tomorrow so lets hope no one has left any biscuits or chocolates out

Don't worry - it's a whole new year.  I just received my first fit bit.  I have 25 lbs to lose.  How do I know how to set a goal for the number of daily steps I should be taking based on this weight loss goal.  I cannot run right now etc because of a bad back.  Happy New Year everyone
