Bastet

you like it better than other diets?
Just some background about me. I need to lose AT LEAST four and a half stone. Realistically more like five and a half.
I've been overweight for about 17 years. Tried every diet known to man but stick to it for a couple of weeks, get bored, and then gain any weight I have lost plus some more.

The only way I've been successful was with WW. I've joined more than 10 times, but about 3 years ago I stuck with it for 3 months and lost just over a stone. I got bored, and I got disheartened because it was taking me so long to lose the weight. Well since then, my weight has gone from 11st 10lb (my lowest on WW) up to 14st 8lb...


I want to lose weight, and I am considering joining WW next week (I'm going away later this week so will join my local meeting after my trip). But I dont want to join again, and fail again. Has anyone else tried several times but finally succeeded?
Right now I am so fed up with being overweight. I would be happy if I could just get down to 12st. That seems achievable but my BMI would still be too high.

Nice to "meet" you all, btw.

i did CD and lost 59lbs but i got so fed up it wasn't do'able for me anymore. WW may be slower but i don't feel deprived of anything take this aft i had fish fingers and chips cos i fancied them lol

WW will be a way of life for me i will always have to count points cos i gain weight otherwise. So that why i choose WW its cos i canlive with it and its a long term way instead of thinking well when i come off a diet i will eat like mad.

Hi
I can recommend this diet 100% It's just so easy to incorporate into your daily life.
The first time I joined I lost loads of weight but over the years it's steadily crept up on me, I tried lots of times (unsuccessfully) to do it on my own at home, this time I've joined a club again and it's going good, I've had a couple of blips but the beauty is you can make up the points or just draw a line under it and start again.
Best of luck with deciding, it's a great support network on here.
xx

I've considered a VLCD because of the quick losses, but I am sure I could not stick to it....
I decided tonight, after reading a lot of the threads here, that WW is the way to go.

Just want to say thanks everyone.
This is going to be a long journey, but I really want to do it this time

Bastet,

I hope you don't mind me saying but maybe WW isn't the diet for you - if you've tried 10 times already then maybe something else will be more suitable for you.
It's wonderful that others find it great but diets are very individual and you need to find the one that is going to work for you.

Do you feel right now that you are in the right frame of mind to reduce weight? - I think you need to be totally convinced that whatever diet regime you are on that it will definitely work and, to be honest, you don't sound at all convinced. Maybe your mind just isn't there yet.

If you became disheartened because it took you 3 months to lose a stone then have you now changed and will you now be happy to lose at that rate? Maybe you should research other diets and see whether there is another approach that is better for you - Atkins? Cambridge? Low GI? etc

Perhaps it would help if you could work out what it is that makes you bored with a diet regime. Going on a diet means changing your lifestyle and your relationship with food and not seeing it as something you go on and then change your habits back afterwards.

I hope you succeed in finding what works for you.

Good point sweetpea but by the same token, sometimes it takes everything clicking into place for a diet to be truly successful.

Ive joined WW more times than I care to remember and it never worked particularly well. This time it all just fell into place and its working great and thats without going to classes

If Bastet is in the right frame of mind this time as opposed to last time (and the times before ) theres no reason why it wont work this time

I totally agree that you need to be in the right frame of mind but the way that Bastet wrote that she doesn't want to join only to fail again suggests she may not be. If she was then wouldn't she be convinced that this is it this time?

Just thought something like Atkins might be easier for her!

Starlight

I dont know, personally I didnt realise I was in the right frame of mind until I got into the diet. I started with my usual expectations that it'd last a week or two then Id give up, it wasnt until I started and the days passed that I realised this time WAS different

I must admit starting/stopping Weight Watchers on various occasions, but this time it feels different and right and is certainly working.
Hope you make a decision soon Bastet and I cannot recommend WW highly enough If you need a chat we're always here
