Desparate1

[desparate1]

Hi I have just joined the forum and was wondering if anyone else is as desparate as me with there weight. I have tried every diet known to man and woman without sucess. It is really getting to me now. I really think it would help if i heard some sucess stories. Can anyone out there help me.

Welcome.

There are plenty of success stories here if you look around - especially at the Before & After board. Read some diaries, check out some of the photos.

But even before that, I'd say read the sticky posts on the boards. One thing that might help you is to realize that many of us here aren't "on a diet". Many of us here have done the whole diet thing and realize that it doesn't work. What does work is committing to a change - in your whole life. Changing the way you think about food and changing the way you think about exercise is the only way to be successful long term - and to keep the weight off once you've lost it.

There are a lot of people here who are willing to help and offer advice! So read the stickies and then feel free to ask your questions!

I agree with Kara. Read those stickies and think of it as a new way of life - not a diet at all. I am 2.5 years into my project and have made my weight loss dreams come true after over 20 years in severe morbid obesity. There are plenty people here who have lost as much weight as me and more. The approach really does work.

As Kara says - the before / after thread is always good for inspiration too.
