Hello

I have never dieted ever,regarding myself as having no self control.

I read that Muriel Spark the writer( who had weight issues) said

"Eat half".I do this when serving meals to my husband .I look at his plate and reduce my serving .This has stabilised my weight but I am still 2 stone overweight or is that obese?

Hi and welcome, Blanche

Take a look at the Pinned posts section to the right of your screen (bottom if you're using a mobile), read the Welcome Newbie thread, then move through to the challenges, where we hope you'll find at least one that will appeal to you .

Move down to the Topics, to find a variety of threads, collated into specific topics for ease of access and we ask that you also 'file' your own threads, so that others won't miss your important news.

Take a look at the 12 week plan, as a lot of people have been successful with it, making sure to enter your details into the BMI calculator, to get a calorie allowance tailored to your personal requirements. Don't forget to take your starting measurements and a 'before' picture, as they can be very motivating on days that the scales refuse to co-operate.

We run daily weigh-in's and you'd be very welcome to join us. The threads can always be found in the Events section, to the right of the home page, bottom on a mobile.

We've found that to get the best out of this community, we need to be active on the forum, as it's where we exchange information, get motivation and inspiration and make friends. We hope that you'll join us here, regularly, too.

It's only left for me to wish you well on your journey

That sounds like a very good plan Hidden ☺are you still losing at all or completely static? Even a pound a month is successful weight loss ☺

Perhaps you could tweak what you are eating? Less carbs and more protein for example?

I hope you enjoy the forum, havea good look around and please ask if you have any questions ☺

Best wishes

Anna
