Hi and welcome Loz

Don't for one minute think you're the only one with a history of failed diets and a heap of weight to lose, there are many of us.

My advice is not to focus on the whole amount, but small goals and easier achievements.

I've given you some links to posts of mine, to prove that it can be done, but I would urge you to read as many posts as you can, because that's where you'll get the answers to your questions, inspiration and motivation.

All the best

Hi Loz I am in to a similar position to you with around 9 st to lose but I break that down and just look at a stone a time. I am 1st 2lb down and already feel so much better which is motivating me to keep on and tackle the next stone. I am also new to this forum and it is lovely to have the support of others. Good luck.

Hi and welcome. Don't be daunted. Everything has to have a day 1,week 1, etc. You can't think about the whole thing all in one go. There is no point and it will get in the way of making a start.

There are lots of people on here with a lot too loose ( me included). You will get support and see how other people cope.

Good luck

Hi and welcome. I have a pile to lose too so you are not alone. I lost 7 stone just after I had my kids and nearly 18 years later still trying to lose it again after getting all back again!!!!

Make a start and you'll be amazed how quick it starts to come off!

Well done for starting now! That's such a good idea because if you don't you could gain another 7lbs over xmas easily! You'll get lots of excellent advice here!

I'm in the same boat, 3 years ago I lost 7 stone, I've now put it all back on, I really hate myself I really can't believe I've done it, I keep thinking back to all the lovely clothes I could wear, how great I felt, you would think that would motivate me enough to stop eating but no I cleared out my wardrobe yesterday of my thin clothes then went and ate a packet of biscuits!! I'm going to stop this, I've done it before so I know I can do it again, last time I did it with Lighterlife but I'm going to take it slow and steady this time and hopefully it will stay off.

I have so many clothes in different sizes, some i have never worn but i am feeling determined that at some point next year i will take out some smaller size clothes and they will fit.
