Just stumbled across this as desperate to lose weight. I have been overweight most of my life but it is now life limiting on top of all my health problems. I have also just started a course with nhs called winning by losing and just wonder if anyone else tried. Also need to try and get my head into gear

Welcome Emer73. This is a great friendly forum lots of advice. My advice would be to set small goals and make this a way of life not a diet. I tried every diet going before I joined. I would loose weight then after a few months things would plateau and I’d gain again.

I joined this forum in Feb and so far lost a stone.

And kept it off which has been amazing.

Good luck, ask questions, get involved it all really helps.

well I just not getting my brain into gear to this 2000 calorie diet I know I need to but constantly feel hungry in the evenings. This is getting me really down as terrified I will die if I do not change. I am basically carrying my Husband who is also overweight in excess of what I should be according to NHS and the winning by losing group so they want me to lose around 17 stone. Feeling so hopeless and fed up
