HI Im from the Capital of Gods own Country - Leeds.:laugh:

I have just rejoined SW for the 4th and FINAL time. I have about a ton to lose - make that imperial not metric!

I read what you said about lifestyle changes and totally agree with that and everything you said ( having done SW 4th time, WW 3 times, Camebridge diet twice, Herbal life once, Slender twice, Dukan twice, Atkins 3 times, BHF crash diet times, Marine Commando 3 times, pills twice, hypnotisn 3 times, accupuncture, calorie counting Goodness knows how many times - any one olde enough to remember Jackie and the 1000 cal per day diets that were published in magazines in that era? Fasting - longest I lasted was 14 days drinking only grapefruit juice

Any one who wants to lose weight quickly needs to remember how long it took to get to the weight you are unhappy with and how long the fat has had to 'bed-in'

Big BUT, despite agreeing with the need for lifestyle changes, your regime is very severe. I like eating. How do you incorporate the pleasure of eating with family and friends with having in my view stripped out anything that makes eating anything but functional.

Any successful 'body sculptors' or lifestyle changers out there please tell me how you continue to eat pleasurably having an occasional sensuous gastronomic experience with keeping our weight in check. (OH and have the odd slug of vino too:drinker:

Hello from Wigan. I'm new here and joined after a shock from a routine blood test. I'm a lifetime vegetarian and eat pretty healthily, it's laziness and lack of motivation that is the problem for me. I was pretty fit and healthy up 10 years ago when I had a child but life conspired against me and certain personal problems lead to lots of weight gain. I hit my half-century in a few weeks and I intend to be on a path to fitness by then. I'm a single parent and self-employed, so I don't have a lot of time or money to spend in a gym, but I have an exercise bike and a road bike so will be using them daily and just generally relying on my feet and two wheels rather than using the car.

Hi
From derbyshire , on here because I need motivation to lose the last couple of pounds that I can't seem ti shift. Also for motivation to eat better and work out more.

I have bad eating habits and eat the wrong things at wrong times .. on a daily basis, on average I eat less than 800 cals a day.

Feel free to add me and we can motivate each other.
Good luck to every one on your weight loss

Started last year and dropped 20lbs - then lost my way in October and have put on about 8 lbs. Right back into it now and signed up for a run in Chamonix (France) in June. so if any Pals need an encouraging Friend - send a request. Good luck to all in the North!!!
