Help! Just joined and am worried that I'm on my own with 10+ stone to lose and a BMI of 46.7 - anyone else in the same state or am I alone?

Nope not alone! I'm a week in and it seems a bit daunting! Had a bit of a slip up at the weekend (well a big one-3 whispers haha) but otherwise going well! What diet areyou following?

I can't face the large total so I look at it as 2 stone at a time - and set realistic time limits. Then if I lose weight a bit more quickly I feel so good. My problem is the exercise - I can find all sorts of reasons not to!

I am pretty much in the same boat as you, need to lose around 9 stone, but 10 would be preferred. My BMI is around the same too!

If you are looking for a weight loss buddy to motivate eachtoher, please dont hesititate to message me, I will be looking to stop the dreaded 'give up' days and keep plowing through.

Definitely not on your own, I too have a lot to lose (7st) - seems daunting to think of that amount so I too stick to smaller targets. This is the first week for me, I have tried so many other diets and failed but am determined this time!! I have a grinding, knocking and extremely painful knee so kinda hoping shifting the weight will help it!! Good luck, with the support on here we can all do it!! xx

If anyone on here wants to buddy up to work out etc message me.... good luck everyone you can do it!!
