I've had a look on this site before, and have tried god knows how many different diets over the past 5-6 years (even though I'm only 19!) But i've never been able to stick to anything properly, and even though I do lose weight. I end up giving up and putting it all back on again, plus a little bit more!
I'm lucky in the sense that I'm over 6ft tall, which means that my 'healthy' weight isn't as out of reach as it could be, but I still have a really long way to go! I currently weigh 20st 2.5lbs (282.5lbs)
and I just made a quick calculation and I should lose around 6st 4lbs (88lbs) to be healthy.
I've tried Weightwatchers twice, Slimming World about 4 times (with meetings and without) The Harcombe Diet, Exante and Slim Fast and I just can't stick to anything!
I lost quite a bit all the times that I did Slimming World and Weightwatchers, but I can't afford to go to the meetings at the moment so they aren't an option; and Exante gave me horrendous headaches so I gave up after 3 days.
I think I am going to try calorie counting, perhaps then I will shock myself with the amount that I'm packing away every day! I've downloaded MyFitnessPal, so hopefully that will help me!
I don't know about anyone else, but I've never known what it's like to be slim, and I spend hours imagining all the clothes I could wear and all the confidence I would have if I managed to lose weight and keep it off!
Sorry for the essay! If anyone has any words of encouragement, they will be greatly accepted! And good luck to everyone out there!
Thanks
