Having lost two stone last year on Weight Watchers, I stopped the programme and guess what happened? I gained 80% of the weight back. My biggest shock today was when I was trying on my jeans, although most of them still fit, they are unquestionably tighter - and some don't fit at all. I suffer from depression and am hugely addicted to Coca Cola (which I've now switched to Coke Zero), but I just need some inspiration to start this weight loss journey again. I'm notorious for starting and stopping diets within a week or two. I know I need to lose weight, but I've got little motivation at the moment. Any words of wisdom would be hugely appreciated.
Thank you!

Thank you so much! I will have a look at the links now. I found you on Google, actually. Fingers crossed that I can start and stick to my diet plan this time.
Have a good read of all the information and just ask if you get stuck. You’ve done this before so know you can do it again, and this time younhave all of us cheering you on 😊
I don’t wish to overwhelm you with too much all at once but stopping Diet Coke was one of the hardest things I did, but was one of the most successful. Somehow drinking it made me want sweet things even more. Stopping it has sort of re-set my taste buds if that makes sense? I am also sleeping better.
Good Luck Crissie26 as Minniewinny says just try And participate as much as you can on here. I have been a Weight Watcher for years but now have turned to counting calories not points so I know exactly what I’m eating. Try and plan your meals like you may have done on WW. You can go on my fitness pal to check your calories. Look forward to seeing your posts. 😁
Hi Chrissie can you remember how you felt when you lost 2 stone?
It is a lot to loose and so hard when you have to start again, I would like this to be my last attempt at this major reduction programme too. I guess it's like any prop we use when the stress starts so does the need for comfort food. I am trying to find new ways to look after myself when I feel the need to over eat. A manicure or a soak in the bath or a walk with the dog anything that makes you feel good. I don't have depression but know exercise works well to lift your mood. Once you start again I think you will feel positive ......I pretend it's a different 2 Stone😊
