HI everyone

My name is debbie,i live in Norfolk in the UK. i am 39 years old and have a 6 year old son. I have been battling with weight issues since the age of about 16, and it finally led to having a gastric band in 2009, which i lost nearly 5st, however since then i have managed to put back on nearly 4 of them :(((( I am getting married next may, so i really think the time has come for me to get my backside back in gear and shift a couple of stone, just got to keep my will power which is what always lets me down.......NOT THIS TIME !!! and i would love to have a few friends on here x

    Hi Debbie,
    I must say - willpower is my weakness too. I will do my best to egg you on but IU am not that good at it. It does make a difference if you think someone is "watching you" though.

    Keep going

    hi my name s melinda im 41 yrs old and the mother of 4 plus 1 grandchild. my husband and i started this about 40 days ago and im down 18 pounds. but before we stared this i had already lost 80 pounds on the sensa program since last july. i started this because i got to a platuea and couldnt lose any more im still using the sensa but this low calorie diet has helped. it takes alot of will power especially since my first step was giving up my coke. and it does help that my husband has been doing this with me. otherwise i wouldnt of been able to stick to it.
