Hi and welcome, Johnny-English

I felt exactly the same as you when I arrived here and my BMI was 44. It was this post that turned things around for me and made me research an alternative route and one that was successful healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh... I hope it will be the start of better things for you too.

All of the information you need about the forum can be found in Pinned Posts healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh... and I hope you'll be joining all the Events, Challenges and Clubs that we run, especially a weigh-in and the daily diary.

We've found active participation to be key to successful weight loss and, of course, it's a good way to get to know people, find inspiration and share support and encouragement.

Wishing you all the best for 2020

Sorry to see you're feeling low, J-E, I've found weighing in on a weigh in day is very helpful, people are very supportive, and also know where you are coming from.

I wish you all the best on your weight loss journey.

Hi, Johnny-English , welcome.

If you "slim smart" weight loss is not so hard! It is not all about motivation and masochism.

Some of us here find that what works is a combination of The Low Carbohydrate, High-Fat (LCHF) diet (see the forum here on Health Unlocked) and Not Snacking All Day AKA Intermittent Fasting (IF). See:

Sorry you are not happy but have a look at what Moreless said -I’m sure you will feel encouraged

Onwards and 🤞🤞downwards

Good luck

I am going to give you another link, to moreless' success story, that she omitted to share earlier, in the hope that it encourages you even more.
