Hi guys
I'm hoping I might be able to fit in a little better here (or squeeze in as the case may be!). I'm starting the SW EE plan today and have a very long journey ahead of me. It's a little demoralising to see that I have such big numbers to lose compared to a lot of the other members on site, part of me still wonders if it'll ever work. I lived on diets since childhood up until my early teens, this will be the first diet I've attempted in around a decade.
I've got a few health problems (like PCOS) and am also on medication which can affect weight loss/increase weight gain, which is a big worry for me, but I guess I won't find out until I try
After suffering with depression long term, this is the biggest step and most positive action I've taken in the last 7 years or so. I'm finally at a place where thanks to a new GP and a little medication, I feel like I can attempt this and *try* to be positive about it.
Please wish me luck!

Hey, Rita, I just wanted to pop in and wish you loadsa luck. I had a couple of false starts but started the plan proper in aug last year and have now lost 5 stone so dont worry about the big numbers. I too have PCOS and thats why I wanted to reply. I do all extra easy and a smidge of original but just cant lose on the green plan and I think it's the PCOS. Even on EE I have to watch the carbs a bit, not too many of them.
It can be done. Some people have lost a massive amount on here. Just losing 5 stone has made me feel like a different person and has given me my life back.
Wishing you lots of luck xxxx

Hello and welcome
Thanks Kenco
I'm not really sure what a realistic short term goal was - to be honest I pretty much just made the numbers up in my head and decided that they'll do!I'm not really aiming for anything in terms of BMI and such (mostly because I think the BMI system is flawed), so if I end up a little heavier than what people aim for, that's fine by me (and probably more realistic, considering!). I've put my first big goal as losing 95lbs, but obviously I have a lot more to lose after that... and I'm not really sure if I should have smaller goals in the mean time as well. I suppose there are plenty of smaller goals I'll need to surpass to get to the longer ones!
I did make and print out a reward chart today, and ordered a bunch of gold foil star stickers from eBay so that I can monitor my progress on a daily basis
Quite sad, but I was a total nerd in school and still get a high from the idea of getting stars from the teacher! Haha.My other half has offered me "rewards" for whenever I reach any of my interim goals, he's being very supportive. The only problem is that my usual treat would be a romantic dinner date at one of my favourite restaurants! I think I'm going to have to find a healthier way to treat myself

Thanks so much Lucia. It's really inspiring for me to hear from someone else with lots to lose - and who has already had such amazing success! Congratulations on your 5 stone, that's such a brilliant achievement! Well done! You must be beaming with pride
I haven't really noticed a correlation with proteins vs carbs and my weight, but to be honest I've pretty much ignored it for a very long time... Hopefully now with a daily food diary I will be able to see any eating/losing patterns in a few months or so.
I'm so glad to hear you've got your life back - there have been times where I've felt so low due to my weight and PCOS that I have honestly felt that life wasn't worth living (particularly at the worst few years I had in regards to PCOS and facial hair). Luckily things are a bit better for me these days and despite still having severe depression and anxiety issues, I know that I have a lot to live for still, and I can do it all if I can just shift this weight!
Thank you x

Congratulations! Always nice to get a good boost like that!
My first official weigh in is on Tuesday and I'm quite looking forward to it - I had a sneak peek and appear to have lost 4lbs, so I just hope they stay off by Tuesday!!
It certainly helped me to get through walking past Thorntons yesterday - I just kept chanting in my head "4lbs, 4lbs, 4lbs!"
