Well it's that time of year that like many others I get on the scales and weep. (not really) However, now the goodies are all gone I am trying to put some effort into losing the weight. This time I have set my scales to kilos as it gives smaller changes in weight and, hay presto, I have lose 400gms in a week (don't laugh ;D). That means only 15 kg 900 gm to go.
Anyone else on the same path?. If so what is your technique?

I've been a member of Slimming World since October 2016 and have lost close to 5.5 stones - so far! I have few more stones to go to get to my dream target weight, and I WILL do it - I want to be a healthy weight when I hit 50 later this year.
Once I'd lost 4.5 stones (October 2017), I decided to give running a go ... when I started, I struggled to run between 2 lamp posts - but last week I managed to run a full mile. My other pre-50 goal is to run 5km 3 or 4 times a week (including being able to run all of our local Parkrun - which has an evil hill you have to go up 4 times!!). I'm actually really enjoying the running - I've come down with a cold over the weekend and I'm soooo frustrated that I can't get out and run ;D

I'll wave you on when you run by Scampi ;).
As I didn't eat anything more than I would normally over the 'festive' season I haven't bothered to step onto the scales. I know that I need more exercise but I am getting lazier >sigh<.
Some people find jogging alone or in a group helpful. Some dance. Some swim, walk etc.. I did ballet from age 8 until 18 which helped, also we cycled everywhere.
