Hi All I need to loose a stone. I have been trying to loose it for a long time. I know I have to stick to a proper diet but I need help.

What has helped me until now (and believe me, I still have to lose quite some weight) is calorie counting and setting myself realistic goals! Calorie counting has taught me where all my weight comes from (it's from the unhealthy snacks I love to consume and also from the lemonade) and the goals help me to stay motivated. Whenever I reach one of the goals (like losing 10 lbs or so) I treat myself with a delicious dinner or a cheatday or with buying myself something small I've always wanted.

Maybe some of this could work for you, too! But everyone is different. Just don't give up!
