An afterthought: how about choosing a different username? One that will make you feel positive and that shows another side of you. I'm not denying you're big, if you say you are, but that doesn't define you as a person

Thank you for replying, I will have a think about my user name, I have tried weight watchers which worked for me before but doesn't seem to work this time round and calorie counting.

You might like to take a look at the low carbohydrate high fat approach, then. It turns a lot of what we've been told was "healthy" on its head but, like many of us, you've found that doing things the way you're told doesn't bring results.

Take your time reading, browse around the forum, particularly the Daily Diary, where people log their meal plans for the next day and get useful feedback, and join a weekly weigh in on the day of your choice - it's a great way of getting to know people and be part of a team.
