Hi,
I've been dieting for years with no success. I'm now 40 years old and need to lose about 50lbs not just for health reasons, but mainly because I'm fed up of being the fat friend.
I Would love to hear from others in the same situation and perhaps get a support group boing
Thanks

Me too! I'm almost 40 and also have about 50 pounds to lose. And you know, I'd have explained it in almost the exact same way: yes, it'd be healthier to be thinner but I finally just got tired of being fat!0

I've not long got back from Disneyland Paris with my boyfriend. Every outfit I had just made me look fatter than I was and because of all the walking, my feet just ached and ached and I have put this down to my weight. I just wanted to look and feel good but maybe next time.
How are you going with your diet?0
