Hi, I've always been a yoyo dieter, I've tried every slimming club their is and I always end up falling off the wagon after a few months, I'm 34 and weigh 16st 9lb. I've lacked In motivation for the last few months, haven't been to the gym I've signed up for which I usually love, eating way to much, I'm hoping to change my eating habits by not grazing all day and stop been lazy and inactive, fingers crossed I can get into this weight loss plan.

Good luck, so many of us are yo yo dieters, I'm determined this time I'm 61 can't keep losing then gaining it's no way to live. I'm sure you will do it this site is great.

I found that the hest way to lose weight is to make what you do to lose weight part of your lifestyle. I used to do all the diets and weight loss programms only to quit them.

Its like... if brushing your teeth everyday made you lose weight then we'd all be slim

Now I take bus routes that require me to walk, I cook food that is healthier, and I do excercise that is short so that I can fit them into my day.

I think the worst things are cheats e.g. cheat days or those "let me have some cake since I've been so healthy this week". EAT THE CAKE

Weight loss programmes seem to make a person feel like they are restricting their lives whereas if 'weight loss' was how you lived your life it won't even be something you notice.

Hope I helped?
