in Motivation and Support
...and those from further afield, feel free to add me as I'm really interested in people's stories/journeys.

I wrote UK in the title because everyone's always talking about how many pounds they've lost and I'm mentally trying to calculate everything in stones!

I'm 27, new to this and desperate to lose 2-3 stones by August for my wedding. Any advice/friendship is welcome and I'll do my support to motivate you too!

    Hi I'm from the uk too so your post stood out. I'm 23 and trying to loose a stone. I managed to loose weight when using the app but I give up when I get near my goal weight and put it back on again. Looking to join a motivated group but don't want to mention to people I know that I'm on a diet.

    Hi, never replied to anything like this before, but thought I'd give it a go. I too am struggling with the U.S. To UK conversion! I'd like to loose 2-3 stone all of which I put on after second child. Fantastic news on the wedding congratulations!! Are you doing anything else to help you loose it or just this??

    You shouldnt say to yourself that your on a diet, its a whole life style choice its the lighter than light healthier mayonnaise its one biscuit instead of half a packet. Its a evening walk or a weekend bike ride. Or even instead of sitting watching your fav tv show watch it while on a stationary exercise bike. Its the healthy options you have to rewire your brain to make subconsciously your get there its all the small things that help to add up but it doesnt have to be that bad if you have a sweet tooth have a freddy frog but as a treat.

    No to the word diet
    Yes to a new you and a whole new way of thinking and living

    Wish you all the best with you goal
    Paul

    loose skin can be a problem I have quite a bit at 13 stone i still kinda looked like a fat guy but it wasn't saggy, i found the more omega/aloe Vera supplements i took the better it got (might just be a placebo effect) it's something to deal with once it's all done, there are things that can be done! just work on getting happy and healthy :smile:
