Hi and welcome, MackeyW

Maybe this time you need to consider a more sustainable way to lose weight and maintain the loss, to avoid any more yoyoing. Have a look at these for a new idea psychologytoday.com/us/blog... and phcuk.org/wp-content/upload...

All of the information you need about the forum can be found in Pinned Posts healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh... and I hope you'll be joining all the Events, Challenges and Clubs that we run, especially a weigh-in and the daily diary.

We've found active participation to be key to successful weight loss and, of course, it's a good way to get to know people, find inspiration and share support and encouragement.

Wishing you all the best for 2020

Welcome MackeyW

This may not be relevant to you but many people lose weight but do it too quickly. The body fights back by becoming more efficient at turning food into body fat and also by reducing its metabolism, therefore burning less cals. The upshot is that when we do start to eat normally, we easily put on weight.

Lots of useful information from moreless on how to progress.

Best of luck!

Hi, MackeyW , welcome.

Did you lose weight through counting calories?

If you "slim smart" weight loss is not so hard! It is not all about motivation and masochism.

Some of us here find that what works is a combination of The Low Carbohydrate, High-Fat (LCHF) diet (see the forum here on Health Unlocked) and Not Snacking All Day AKA Intermittent Fasting (IF). See:
