Thank you so much for your response, I feel way more determined this time.... I know it will be hard and it is a long term thing rather than a short fix. Still a bit daunting! EEEEEK!!!

Hi great to see you here.xx

I know the thought of losing 5stone is a bit daunting but take it a bit at a time. dont be in a rush to lose the weight,enjoy the plan.
I never think of it as a diet-its a healthy eating plan i can follow for life.
good luck and if you need any help just ask.xxx

wow nicky!!! thanks for welcoming me, you really are an inspiration! I'm so pleased I have found this group! thank you! xxx

Hi and welcome, keep chipping away at it and it will soon come off xx

Thank you, this seems like the place to be for support and advice.

Can anyone tell me how to put a photo up as an avatar? Cheersxxxx

and

You've come to the right place, lots of friendship and support here for your weight loss journey, good luck

Nicky really is an inspiration and as you look around th site you'll see plenty of people on here
that have done really well so far. I'm here for the long haul too. The support on here is fantastic.

I agree with Nicky about it bing about healthy eating. I eat a lot more fresh food than I used to and drink more water and feel better as a result. I am convinced that if you eat junk you crave junk and is definitely the case when I slip up!

I know you probably complete a food diary for your consultant, but by
completing one here you can get feedback the same day rather than
waiting a week. I find this invaluable.

Good luck for your journey x

Welcome to the forum! Im also in for the long haul, I have 9 and half stone to lose (I lost half a stone on first weigh in! ) But with support on this website I know I will be able to get through and so will you! xx

Good luck on your weightloss journey!

welcome to this site. Good luck with losing all the weight you would like to lose. It isn't easy, it is hard work but worth it. When I started I had about 9 stone to lose and am now halfway there.

thank you everybody... so many success stories, I would be a fool to lose heart this time. Weighed myself this morning and I have lost 6lbs on my scales, so hopefully this is replicated at SW! Fingers crossed!
