Hello!

You know, I really ought to try and archive all the imported posts so it doesn't look as though I never shut up and blog the whole time...

I decided to import my blogs from the Weight Watchers UK web site (I follow the plan online) to here, on the off chance that I ever cancel my membership and lose access to the blog there. It really has helped to keep me focused and keep me on track.

I've never managed to diet successfully for any length of time before, and I think the blog and the community spirit on the community message boards is part of that success. I was going it alone until maybe six weeks ago, but I decided the time had come where putting something back in to the plan would be good. I felt ready to get involved with other people following the diet, something I can't do so easily at the moment as I live in Germany and my German isn't that great. Improving all the time, but not great. It's good to not only receive support and inspiration, but also to give it to others.

So, below (or archived somewhere, I dunno which yet) you will find my ramblings to date. Some are solely about Weight Watchers, others are rather more personal. Maybe I ought to moderate myself a little more closely as I'm going a little more public with the blog. I think I'll see how it goes.

I don't claim to be an expert, but I've been around long enough and experienced a fair few things - in life as well as in terms of dieting - to have learned a bit that might be helpful to others. I am gobby and opinionated, and sometimes I just need to get stuff out of my head and on to the page (or screen) to help to get my thoughts in order.
