Hi all,

Not really sure what I'm meant to write here but just wanted to share my story, my weight has got out of control and I need to lose 6 and half stone! I've made the first step on cutting out my very unhealthy addiction to Red Bull - I'm on my fourth day of cold turkey! Yay me! Hoping this will reflect on the scales with a lb or two loss and then I can really start on my healthy eating and lose the rest! Wish me luck, I think I'll need it!

Good luck, great first step. Get rid of all the sugar and then you won't feel so hungry.

This is spot on, I cut out sugar on June 4 and my appetite has halved.

I've never taken sugar in drinks and I don't drink cola etc. but I do have a biscuit or two (not every day) and cutting them out made so much difference.

Hi and good luck. Just concentrate on the new "you" and keep moving forwards.

Hey... I had to cut out rockstar from my diet when I started eating more healthily. I've got just a wee bit more than you to lose, I'm certain when you see a difference on the scales next week you will feel amazing! Good luck x

Hi cutting out the Red Bull has got to make a difference. Lots of sugar in one can. Well done for lasting 4 days. Keep going and you will definitely get over those cravings. Best of luck :)

You do right tackling one thing at a time 😊 A journey is made up of small steps 😊 I started out aiming for loss of 5% of body weight, proven to improve health. Then 10%. Never believed I would be here almost a year on 😊

Lots of help and support on here 😊 Look out the newbies post, lots of info in there 😊 Very best wishes 😊

Good luck and well done on what you've achieved so far!

Hi. Take it one day at a time. You've made a good start so far. You're here with lots of others in the same boat, some of us much further down the line than others. They're a great inspiration of what can be achieved when we put our mind to it. Keep going.

Just found your post whilst looking at the "Near me" section.

With regards to cutting out Red Bull - friend at work had a cola problem. He went cold turkey in January 2015, and to date has lost 6 stone. Keep going - it's tough to loose weight, but it will be worth it.

Best of luck to you.
