    Hi! You can do it!!!!
    A year ago I was 47 pounds heavier than I am now. I didn't go on a diet, though. I went on a life-style change because I want to maintain a healthier body weight and fitter body for the rest of my life. I used Joel Furhman's book "Eat To Live". The basic premise of the plan is to make 80 - 90% of what you eat each day fruits and veggies - preferably raw. He has a six-week kick off plan that if you follow it, it really helps lose weight fast and gives you motivation to stay committed to a healthier life style.
    I used to love to munch on sweets - especially cookies. The first few weeks were rough when I had cravings for sweets, but I'd grab an apple instead. Now I rarely crave sweets and when I do have a cookie or cake I find myself not enjoying it like I used to. I'm thankful for that. Blessings on your road to a healthier lifestyle!!!!!! Your "MFP" friend, Beth

    I'm not from the UK, I'm just a person who's up all night and sleeps all day. I did live in the UK for 2 years in Mildenhall village. I absolutely loved it there. I also have a hefty weight loss goal of 85-90 lbs. Currently at 251 and looking to be down around 165. I know it's not going to be easy and I look forward to getting/giving support from/to those who are trying/have lost a large amount of weight.
