Need to lose weight

[marybernie]

Hello I'm Mary. I desperately need to lose weight and rebuild my confidence as I have type 2 diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis. I've tried both WeightWatchers and Slimming World but have had no success as I find these groups too commerical and too big.

Hiya Mary. You are in the right place I think. I am just nearing the end of week 2 and this forum is brilliant. Everyone is in the same boat, the people are lovely, and full of great ideas and motivation. There is a Monday weigh in thread, you just post under there whether you lost/gained/stuck that week and everyone encourages you, whatever happened that week. I haven't posted my actual weight, but it's not that difficult to imagine what I weigh - I'm recommended to lose 8-10 stone so enough said really! Good luck on your journey, keep posting and commenting, it will help you along the way I'm sure!

Hi Mary, welcome to our little forum, this is a great place for advice, inspiration and support as I am sure you will find out.

The commercial stuff here and you share as much or as little as you like.

You can go out your own pace and eat what suits you and your lifestyle.

Many here opt for the lifestyle change approach rather than a diet making small maintainable changes they can sustain for life.

I have been here for nearly 7 months and lost nearly 4 stones so far and regained my fitness so it can be done.

Good luck

Hi Mary,

Hopefully you'll find lots of support here. Nothing commercial, and support everyday, not just once a week. Hope it all goes ok for you
