I am a yo yo dieter have been all my life! I am an emotional eater, happy sad anxious, you name it any excuse. Have recently put on so much weight that I am at my heaviest and really need to take action. This is my week one......but I just wish that this time (I say this every time) will be the last time I have to go through this, why oh why can I not sustain any weight loss for more than one year? We have just installed a home gym, so no excuse there. All I can say is here I go again!

Hi I feel your pain and know it only to well, youve come to the right place! Would you like to join our weigh in today and become a Wednesday Wobbler with us? Here is the link, hope to see you there! x
Ha ha the Wednesday weigh team are called Wednesday Wobble Warriors - I call us Wednesday Wobblers for short ! Have you joined a weigh day or posted your food plans on the Daily Diary yet?
If you pick a day, any day, and weigh in each week that will give you some accountability. Every night a Daily Diary is posted where we put down what we plan to eat each day so that helps you stick to your plan. There are lots of different challenges on here too to help with motivation and you can just come on here anytime to chat with other people in the same boat ! x
Hello and welcome to the Weight Loss Forum salsadip 😊
You are not alone in having a lifetime of yo-yo dieting behind you. Maybe you could try a different approach? Ditch the diet, focus on eating proper food, in a decent quantity and no diet substitutes. If you are following the NHS 12 Week plan then the 1400/1900 calorie target suggested is a just generic amount, please check your own personal calorie target using the BMI checker, it’s often higher than you think. We always advise starting towards the top of the range, being hungry is the biggest cause of weight loss failure. Also try to include some good healthy fat in your diet, eating fat does not make you fat, it’s an essential nutrient and really good for keeping you full, unlike carbohydrates and sweet things that trigger hunger. For more help check out the Daily Diary 😊
