It's great that you are doing this as a family because naturally family meals are linked. My understanding is that weight-loss is 80% diet and 20% exercise, so with dietary changes alone much can be achieved. Exercise can come later.

If no diet has ever worked, then may I suggest the you have not yet found the right diet for you. Diets can and do work; There is an active 'Maintainers' community of people who have reached their targets here as a testament to that.

I'm sure someone will be along with formal welcome links, but in the meantime may I urge you to check out recent Daily Dairy and Weigh In threads pinned to the right and when you are ready, join in. There are many people here who have taken long weight-loss journeys willing to offer support. 😄

Hello and welcome, Katz1980 😊

I want you to fell positive. You haven't failed, those diets have failed you and they are in the past. Don't think of repeating what you've done before as it's not for you.

Please look at this option. It would suit both of you and is flexible to individual tastes. phcuk.org/wp-content/upload... You just eat real food, home cooked, avoiding processed stuff. Simple, and just what your body needs

You'll find all the information you need about the forum in our Pinned Posts healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh... including a Welcome message, the Daily Diary and the current weigh in: a good place to start is by joining a weekly weigh in on the day of your choice (why not today?) and using the Daily Diary, where members share their meal plans.

Take your time exploring. This gives you a tour of the forum healthunlocked.com/?tour=true and, along with Pinned Posts, will show you how things work. I hope you'll become an active member and we will see you joining in around the forum 😊
