Hi,

I'm John, I'm new to this page but I really want to lose weight.

I have lost quite a lot of weight before, but always seem to drift back into the bad habits and put the weight back on.

I am 51 years old & weighed in at 17st 9lb this morning.

I am following a planned strategic diet & exercise programme to help me lose 2 stones .... Has anyone got any tips

Hello, address the reasons why you go back to bad habits, it takes some thinking, and a changed mindset to see why/how.

I had to do it years ago.............I questioned the very comforts of childhood foods, the social bit too, and the 'fix' factor of certain goods, food can never hug you, it gives s brief 'fix' of sugar, booze or whatever.

I value my leaner, lighter self too much to undo all this hard work, good luck, be proactive here, lots if help, support and advice too
