Hi, I've always been a yoyo dieter, I've tried every slimming club their is and I always end up falling off the wagon after a few months, I'm 34 and weigh 16st 9lb. I've lacked In motivation for the last few months, haven't been to the gym I've signed up for which I usually love, eating way to much, I'm hoping to change my eating habits by not grazing all day and stop been lazy and inactive, fingers crossed I can get into this weight loss plan.

I found that the hest way to lose weight is to make what you do to lose weight part of your lifestyle. I used to do all the diets and weight loss programms only to quit them.

Its like... if brushing your teeth everyday made you lose weight then we'd all be slim :-)

Now I take bus routes that require me to walk, I cook food that is healthier, and I do excercise that is short so that I can fit them into my day.

I think the worst things are cheats e.g. cheat days or those "let me have some cake since I've been so healthy this week". EAT THE CAKE :-)

Weight loss programmes seem to make a person feel like they are restricting their lives whereas if 'weight loss' was how you lived your life it won't even be something you notice.

Hope I helped?
