I've been on a change of lifestyle / weight reduction regime for 3 and a half months and I'm finding it a lot easier than I thought.
I had gradually let my weight go up and up until, my BMI was over 35 and the doctor wasn't happy about doing a non-urgent op until I'd lost a bit. That was my trigger and I researched the best way to go and it's working great.
I really thought it would be harder - the keys to it have been getting success and not missing out on occasional "treats". Once it started to come off I felt better and better and when I started to fit into old clothes and have to buy new ones the motivation just went up.
The treats have been on meals out, weddings. holidays etc. where I've eaten more than usual and had puddings that I wouldn't normally have.
Anyway I'm still going and came on here to encourage others and to get advice on keeping the weight off / stabilising when I get to a level that i am comfortable with.
Before and after pics will follow...
