Afternoon all. Been a member here for some time, but dropped off quite a bit in the past year or two - tried different diets, and finally have decided to come back to ProPoints and not stop until I get to goal this time.
Some may know me already, but just a bit of background.
About 5-years ago I saw the doctor about an unrelated issue, and he decided to check my blood pressure. At the time it was through the roof (to the point where I was hurtling towards a heart attack - and as I was only 26 at the time, this was more than a bit of a worry). I was weighing in at 25-stone 4-pounds at the time, and made the decision to lose the weight: partly to avoid going on blood pressure pills, and partly to get control of the growing problem that was (and still is) my over-eating. I'd got down to 18-stone 8.5-pounds by the Christmas of 2009, but quite honestly never really stuck to a diet for more than 6-weeks after that...and so as of my last weigh-in I'm coming in at 20-stone 4-pounds.
Not sure exactly where I'm heading for my goal. The recommended weight for my height (6-foot 3-inches) says I should by at most 14-stone 4-pounds, but we'll see how I feel. Won't be going lower than that, though, so at most I'm looking towards a 6-stone loss. Done it before, and hope to do it again.
My current daily points are 61 a day. Started on Thursday this week, and have thus far used 1 one of my weeklies.

Having a meal tonight with a few drinks for my parent's wedding anniversary so expect it will be a weeklies day. It's also hotter than the surface of the sun here today, so expect a few ice lollies will find they've been eaten.
