Anyone from UK? I need some buddies!

Hey! how are you?

I'm 22, working mum of 2 and my weight has yo-yo'd with each baby really.
I'm looking for friends on here to chat to n motivate

I have been exercising and dieting since November 2012 and I have lost 16kg so far (33lbs)
I have been down this road before and couldn't seem to maintain it. This time, I want to maintain it because I can't have anymore children and I'm in a professional career that I need to focus on so I'm hoping I won't have anymore massive weight gains.

I'm a nightmare for carbs, so my diet is strict to teach me some much needed discipline.
I follow Dukan Diet and I love it and it loves me (thank god)

I am a big build I think, my shoulders are much broader than some women and I have natural 34H boobs that REFUSE to go anywhere by dieting. I hate them. I'm 5ft 6in.

In 2008 I was 16st and UK size 20
In 2009 I was 11st and UK size 10
In 2010 I was 12st and UK size 12-14
In 2011 I was 15st and UK size 16-18
In 2012 I was 14st and UK size 14-16

In November 2012 I was 15st and fed up.
I started my beloved Dukan diet and by Christmas 2012 I was 13.5st and UK 14.

I am now 12st 4lb or 80kg. I comfortably wear a size 12.

If you've got this far down my post, well done!

The reason for the detail is because I'd like to get to know other yo-yo dieters that know their flaws and have bad habits etc.
I want people that have had similar journeys to me

I have the app so I'm always on there!

Hope to hear from y guys soon, add me and mail me

Hi Jess, I live in sunny Bradford, West Yorkshire. My thyroid failed when I was 15, before which I was slim and muscular. From 15 onwards my weight crept up to 19st (UK size 24) and at 27 was diagnosed with arthritis in various joints throughout my body. Its taken about 7 years to get to my current weight of 14st 2lbs (UK size 14/16) thanks to the joys of hypothyroidism, and want to lose another 1.5st.

So Im not exactly a yo-yo dieter but have tried just about every diet under the sun to find something that works for me, and I am a complete health nut and enjoy trying the latest health/fitness craze just to keep things interesting!

HI I can relate to being a Yo-yo dieter.

Taken a very different approach to it all (this time!) which seems to be working. Got the app too (invaluable isn't it?) but just starting to use the forums really. You'll find plenty of like-minded people and some great advice too.

Good on ya keep it up.

I've always been a massive yo-yo-er. I stick to a diet, see results, and then think "oh I know what I'm doing" then start to slack off and let it creep back on again.

I'm trying to see this as a lifestyle change. I hated weight watchers, I hated slim fast, I hated all the other diets I've ever been on because everytime I ate something that was high in points, outside of the plan etc, I would see it as a failure. But now its just part of what I eat - I eat it, and then I carry on. I have a bar of chocolate, I eat it, I enjoy it, and then I keep going. On other plans (e.g. Weight Watchers), I would eat a chocolate bar, and then skip lunch or something - it wasn't healthy!

So come and join in on this lifestyle change - everyone on here is so friendly, and I'm a bit of a forum addict, so always on here
