Women lose weight at an average of 2lb each week. Men, the lucky sods, at an average of 2.5lb each week. I'd like to think if I make a real effort I can lose 2.5lb a week too.

98lb at 2.5lb each week is 40 weeks or there abouts.

So, I will set myself a goal date of Saturday 20th October.

That night I will be hitting the town, hopefully in a rather skimpy number !!!

You can find out your ideal weight here, but remember this is just a guide, not gospel, and the most important thing is that you are happy and feel good with yourself, no matter what your weight is !

I used to work for a weightloss clinic and have helped many people to lose pounds, stones of weight. One of my clients lost nearly 50% of her bodyweight, starting the program at 21 stone and shrinking down to just under 11 stone.

So it may come as bit of surprise to you all to know that I am currently 7 stone overweight and I have a BMI of 38.4. On the majority of height weight comparison charts that puts me in the severely obese category and therefore at a high risk of developing diseases associated with obesity such as heart disease and diabetes, knocking an average of 7 years off my life.

I'm not stupid, I know that I need to lose weight, but as any dieter knows, it's really wanting to make the change that is important.

Well I really want to make the change, NOW!
