Hello Debbie, I came across this site just playing around on my iPad . I have about 7stone to loose . So I’m trying to make a few changes at a time.

In the past tried to go at it fast and furious but that always ends in disappointment and failure.

Keep posting , good luck.

I've just started week 2. I wish I didn't feel so despondent. I've done so many diets in the past. Tried so hard and sometimes done well. I'm now on the, 'I weigh more now than I've ever done' rejoinder and my doctor is after me for my weight loss and blood pressure.

Hi Debbie Fleming, I’m just on week 2 have tried most diet over the year with some more successful that others, and getting very downhearted when thing don’t go well. My BP is fine but Dr keeps on about my joint problems.

So this time I’m trying The have a little of every thing way food is to expensive to be buying different foods for each of us . And my hubby doesn’t want my diet ‘rubbish ‘ as he calls it.

Keep in touch maybe boost one another along....

Lilly, yeah you're right, let's do week 2 together. I did well on a low fat diet a few years ago. I know Rosemary Conley Diet and Fitness has gone out of business but her low fat diet works for me. Better get back on it then ! I'm not recommending a diet or even trying to say it's better than the rest. I can't be doing with points or syns or whatever. To complicated for me.

Highly recommend the plan, it really works.
