Really just looking for a bit support here. I have always been of fairly average build - uk size 10, and I'm about 5ft2-5ft3. My bmi was always around 22-23, so bang in the middle of healthy.
In the past few years my weight has slowly started creeping up, to the point where I am really unhappy with how I look. Don't get me wrong, I'm not massive by any extreme - I wear uk size 12 and my bmi is around 25, I weight just over 10 stone.

My problem is that I just can't stop eating! I literally start thinking about what I can eat next! It is usually savoury carbohydrates which I want to eat. And cheese!

I am a teacher so I am off work for the next 7 weeks and I'm really looking to lose around a stone, which would bring me back down to a comfortable weight. I have already lost 9lb since Christmas time, so I know I can do it.

I have started the couch to 5k programme, and I am doing those 30 day challenge things through an app on my phone. I will also be walking to help a friend out with her care duties 4 mornings a week, which is up a huge hill (maybe 20 minutes) and back down again in the evening. We walk the dog in the evening, so I am getting plenty of exercise.

I am vegetarian so I eat a lot of carbohydrate. This is mainly due to convenience, since my boyfriend eats meat. If anyone has some veggie recepie ideas which are suitable for meat lovers, that would be great!

I drink way too much diet fizzy juice, too, which I hope to reduce over the summer.
 
Hi there, I am with you I can't stop eating, my whole day is filled with food thoughts lol! I'm a teacher too although currently on mat leave till sept. I've already lost baby weight and prob slimmer than I've been in years ( size 12 around 12 stone, 5ft 10. I have been using my fitness pal and exercising lots; circuits, spinning and training for half marathon. It's just these last couple of weeks I can't stop eating rubbish :wacko: my eldest son turned 3 yesterday so I've eaten so much party food this weekend! I constantly crave sugar and carbs too as I'm always so tired! I need support and inspiration to continue to loose another 7/10 pounds :winkwink:
