I'm finding it really hard doing it alone, I was 148lb back last year, I'm now upto 166lb :-( I used to go to slimming world where I lost 4stone and got to target
Since then I got a full time job I have 3 kids
I like getting weighed in the mornings and since having my fulltime job I couldn't so gave it up tried calorie counting and it's gone to pot!!
Thinking about going back to slimming world but not sure if I can manage going to an evening class.

I have no willpower

    You are right you can't do it alone - we all have the same goal here. Look at the success stories. One thing thats worked for me is posting motivational tips for myself on my treadmill. When i want to give up i look down and I've literally told myself to KEEP MOVING. So just keep moving!

    I don't smoke I don't drink so I think my addiction is food :-( I'm trying so hard to exercise more, I've started the gym etc... I think with a group they tell you how much to eat, with calories it's trial and error and finding the right balance, if I don't lose one week I go well off the rails :-(
    Going to keep going I think until after Easter and see from there xx

    If you gained the weight back from Slimming World, is it really going to be different if you go back? It clearly didn't offer a long term permanent solution.

    Rather than embarking on another 'diet', find a healthy lifestyle that works for you, that you can maintain forever.

    Try getting a activity tracking device like a fitbit, body media or whatever. I got a body media arm band and it help motivate me and gives me a pretty accurate idea of my daily TDEE so I no longer have to guess as to how many calories I should eat to create the deficit I want.
