Lots of us have our fair share of failed attempts to lose weight before we get the one that works...
This forum certainly helped me in the one that worked for me... I hope that you like it here.
It is best to consider things as being a lifestyle change and not a short term diet. Do not have expectations of massive weight changes overnight - but more a case of slowly winning the race - celebrating every pound and day of healthy eating and exercise as an achievement. It is amazing how you can build impressive results quickly with this attitude. Adopt new good healthy habits like drinking sufficient water, filling up with fruit and vegetables, avoiding junk and things like take-aways... It can all build up into a great healthy food plan that works for weight loss and indeed weight control.
