Hi - So I lost a few years ago 4 stones using food replacements and I went back to my old eating habits and now I am back in the Obese category - I keep re trying with the food replacements but keep failing ( I don't want to belittle the food replacements as they are good to get to an ideal BMI and work well for some - although i understand not everyones cup of tea) however I don't want to keep dieting and have done so for the most of my life... So I have a PT and he has said that he is going to do me a plan which will probably involve more calories then I have ever eaten very much on the way of eat more to weigh less.... I am short 5ft 2ins and find it really hard to lose weight so my eating more calories im a little worried... I lift 3 x a week and although not losing any weight at the moment I am noticing a difference in my measurements.. I was wondering if any one here has had success whilst being obese? I guess I have always done low calories and the thought of more terrifies me .... encouragement needed - Thanks

    And there are many more. I would go over to the website and read it all. Perhaps start your own journal in the forums. Read the ones that are there - cause people are scared but they are doing it.

    Good luck!

    Have you ever logged what you used to eat that caused you to increase in weight?

    And how long did that increase take for how much weight?

    Thank you I will take a look ...

    No I have no entries as I have been on and off replacements for a while . It was going from lots of exercise to zero and 3 kids and snacking - crisps are my failure :-/

    Thank you for replies
