Welcome Linda. IMO you are brave to even try a VLCD I couldn't do it as I like my grub too much (whchc is how I got in this mess in the first place!).

I started out doing Slimming World in May last year and initially lost 7lbs but then just kept gaining and losing the same 7lbs so I swtiched to SF in March and am doing OK. I have lost 26lbs in the last year and have another 10lbs or so to go to my initial target, after which I will re-assess and see if I can get away with another half a stone. However, I am 53 on Friday and have to be careful as I don't want to end up looking like those craggy old bags you see who have lost too much weight and are all wrinkly and saggy

Loving the trike. I have an XV1100 Virago (2 wheeler) and my husband has a Triumph Bonneville America with a Watsonian sidecar - we are both ardent bikers

Good luck on your journey - there are some lovely folks on here who are very supportive!

Hi annya thankyou for the lovely reply and well done on your weight loss I'm 50 now menopausal I gave up smoking 5 months ago weight hasn't shifted no matter what I do so decided to go back to what I know. Slimfast I'm using the bars and snacks with calorie meal at night really enjoying it havnt cheated at all this week so hoping for a small loss but had trouble losing since I quit the cigs don't know why .. Hubby sold the trike brought a BMW 1200 rt so were going to spain on that at the end of the month can't wait will post my losses if any :/ on here hope to talk to you soon x

Looks like we have lots in common I am also a slow loser - it's taken me over a year to lose 26 lbs, but I'm not in any hurry as long as I keep chipping away at it! TBH it probably would have gone a lot quicker if it wasn't for all the rallies and late night burgers

I quit smoking 8 years ago now and gained a whopping 3 stones in the process. Lost 2 and have really struggled to lose the last one. I am now around 10lbs away from my initial target and I may go for another half a stone after that depending on how old and craggy I look :8855:

Let's keep chatting

Do you ever get to the West End Cafe in Llandovery? I f so, we only live 5 miles from there, we could meet up!

One of the reasons we moved here (apart from the fact that there are less poeple in the whole of Wales than in London!) was the fantastics roads but we haven't had much of a summer for it this year

Enjoy Spain. We were in Greece for a rock festival in June - amazing weather, but a bit hot for me really - most days were 40+!!!

We normally get as far as Bala but will look at route to Llandovery when we get back from Spain sounds a good ride though

We are about 90 miles from Bala, so much further down. We are in South West Wales and Bala is in the North.
