Hi, I have reached the magic age of 50 and still have not shed all the extra weight. This has to be the time. I live in the united states so we measure in pounds. I would be happy at this point to lose 30lbs, ideally 45 would be the best. For now i'm not following any particular diet. Just trying to watch what I eat, eat less, and move more. Next week will be having surgery on wrist so won't move a lot but will be able to enjoy the time on this site.

Hi
Pol here, serial yo-yo dieter and WW aficionado. Time for a radical change though, so I'm going to dip my toe in the Dukan pond!
Good luck everyone

Hi,
I'm new here and just thought I'd pop in and say hello. I'm 3 weeks into my slimming world journey and am in need of new recipe ideas.
I've been slowly gaining all the weight I lost for my wedding year and a half ago (by using a body bugg and hitting the gym) and I got to my heaviest weight for 10 years. We are trying to conceive and I have just been eating and not exercising so the weight has slowly come on. Last month I realised my weight is just making me miserable and I can't just put my life on hold while I wait to get pregnant. I'm also hoping losing a few pounds with help with the baby making.
Good luck to everyone is their weight loss journeys.
Liz

Hi all, im new to this site. I lost just under 3 stone last year with exante and atkins diet but totally went off the bandwagon and put it all back on again. Ashamed to say it but I have a severe yo yo relationship with food. Want to lose weight again and keep it off this time, although im worried about the first week on exante as I remember feeling awful for the first few days last time. I have decided to join here this time around for some moral support. Wish me luck

Slowly Shrinking. Yay!!
Hi Again... I havent been on her in yonks! I lost my motivation and gained al my weight back on and more. I've decided to re-appear and get back into the swing of things as I am so unhappy with myself and the person I have become. Not sure what else to say!

Hi to all Minimins! Today is my first day on here and also the start of my weight loss journey with Exante. My goal is to lose 7 stone for Xmas, but really just want to feel healthier and happier with myself. I lost 5stone with Lighterlife 7 years ago but then got cocky and thought I could manage to keep it off without completing the management part. How wrong was I??!! This time it's coming off and staying off though. I now it's going to get tough but bring it on - Ketosis, I'm ready and waiting! Good luck and best wishes to everybody - let's be losers together!! :girlpower:
A new duck
Hello,
I am here to pull my self together.
Yesterday me and my mum decided to make a bet that every week I beat her weight loss percentage she gives me £5 and if in lose I give her £5. We will do this for every week for 12 weeks before I go on holiday.
A year or so ago I had a knee operation. A the time I was working as a gym instructor and was in great shape. Around the same time I met rob, my boyfriend.
I got lazy and comfortable.
Because of my knee I couldn't work out anymore and I stopped working at the gym. I am now over 2stone heavier.
Not only am I heavier but now paranoid that i am not attractive to rob anymore. So now I need to pull myself together, to fix my weight and my mind!
I want to be that sexy confident person I use to be, always showing off my figure.
So hi to everyone on this site! I want to help others and hope to gain confidnence and a positive influence from others.
Duckers!!

Hello:wave_cry:
I have done a combination of slimming world and the old style weight watchers before on and off - and at my lightest weight in my early 20's was 9 stone 7Lb ...and I still thought i was too fat!
Anyway, knew I had been putting some pounds on recently but you know when you just kinda ignore it? Then a friend posted a photo of me on fbook and I thought my god am I really that big - so time to bite the bullet (and not the cake) ! Same friend has lost 8 stone on slimming world over 2 years - which I think is inspirational.
So, here I go again. OVerall target is to get to 10stone 9 ish and be comfortable in a size 14 - coz I think thats about my natural thin weight if that makes sense for being in my late 30's. And also to feel better and healthier in myself.
So good luck to all - and see you again x

Hi All :wave_cry:
I starting Slimming World for the first time in mid January having done weight watchers a few times before. Have to say I am enjoying it more than WW at the minute simply because i don't seem to be as hungry as I was before. Things are a bit slow at the minute, but as long as it is going in the right direction and coming off I'm not too fussed how long it takes! Saying that, I'm going to a wedding in July and would like to be in the dress size below before then!

Lost the way
Hi all,
Ive just joined this site for some inspiration, I started my diet in Jan this year and I've lost a stone to date. I did get up to a stone and half but for the past month and half I've been putting weight on then losing it again but no further forward.
I am getting married in Sep this year and want to lose another 3 stone I'm currently on weight watchers program but I have lost my way, if anyone has any ideas or suggestions how to get back on track I would be more than greatfull.
Good luck to everyone x

Hi! this is my first post, came across the site when trying to research the cambridge diet... I need to lose about a stone and a half. The calorie counting hasn't really worked for me, I can't seem to keep it going long term, so i was wondering if I can get the weight off quicker I will be more motivated to maintain.
Really like the site! xx

I'm about to embark on LighterLife and believe me, with the way my head works, ya'll will be seeing a lot of me cos no doubt I'll be needing some help =). I've been lurking this site for ages and now it's time to actually get my ass involved as it were.

Hello everyone, I'm Deb and have been dieting for the most part of the last 10 years. I've had the most success with Weightwatchers although have tried Slimming World too. I rejoined WW a couple of weeks ago and lost 8.5lbs in my first week, which after doing SW for the past 6 months gave me the extra boost I needed. Found this site by googling syns and pp values
