Hi. I do not know if I am the best person to start with.!! However I could make a new start along with youregards first start. I had lost 1.5 stone, but I am slowly gaining some of the weight . The benefits for weight loss out weigh the weight gain . I feel better losing the stone. I have another 2 or 3 stone to go. Good Luck and hope you do well. 😊😊

Hi there , I have 3 stone to lose , at start of year it was 2 Iv just kept putting on I need to do something about it as I'm just so unhappy with my body .... how long did it take you to lose the 1.5 stone ? That's a great loss x

I feel the same as you. some people look okay carrying extra weight but I do not. I am a pear shape. it took me about 8 weeks to losethe 1.5 stone. I look younger when I lose weight. Which should be an incentive in its self. I am 53. Good Luck for this week. 😊
