Hi I’m trying to lose 1Stone before I go on holiday in June but I’ve tried diets so many times and it’s a struggle, I’m overweight for my age and it makes me really upset. It’s nice too see people on the same journey but I could do with motivation

Trying to lose weight
Diets don't work for anybody. It's not just you.
Try not to look at this as "losing weight". The underlying logic behind "diets" is that people are naturally fat, or that we all naturally pack on the pounds as we get older, and that simply isn't true. Humans do not naturally carry any more fat than they need. Same as any other animal.
If you eat a healthy diet, you'll get slim and remain slim. Unfortunately, we've been fed so much misinformation about what's "healthy" that most people are eating disastrously bad diets without even realising it. Our bodies protect themselves from this onslaught of inappropriate food by packing on fat.
Getting healthy isn't difficult, and once you get it right, you'll find it all just "drops into place". You'll lose weight without even thinking about it, and you'll feel better in yourself, too. If you want motivation, here's something: a healthy diet involves delicious, filling meals, with no low-fat products in sight and no child-sized portions. Does that help?
Hi and welcome, Unicorn02
You've said you're overweight for your age, but you haven't said what age you are, which could help us with any advice we offer you.
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.
