Ive joined today and raring to go. It was my BMI that frightened me to be honest and I need all the help I can get. I have tried Weight Watchers and Slimming World and to no avail "! I hope I can do it this time. I want to start small with loosing a stone.

Hey, im new too and like you have tried WW and SW. I have just completed week 1 and lost a good amount but have such a long way to go. Everyone is very friendly on here and the support, encouragement and advice is tremendous!! Good luck on your journey!

Hi Jacqui, I have been losing weight for the same reason after finding out that I had some tests and was told that I had a very high cholesterol level, and would need to go on statins unless I could get it down through changing what I eat. A year of healthy eating, walking for exercise, and losing weight bought my cholesterol down. So it is possible. I did try to cut down on saturated fats in what I was eating.

Hello everyone. I'm also starting today. I hope to loose weight because of health reasons. I've always done this alone - but it can be very lonely when you hit a low patch. Anyway onwards and upwards!

Good luck in starting your 12 week journey, I have found it more of a lifestyle change than I diet. Losing a stone will certainly be achievable.
