Giving it a go!

[Geoffupnorth]

I am new here, I have completed week one, if yo-yo dieting was an Olympic sport I would have won a gold medal every 4 years since Montreal in 1976. I have tried it all, with some success, but not sustained success. I have medical conditions that would benefit from sustained weight loss but how do I get there?

It starts in your head, making the decision that every little step in the right direction is worth taking 😊 Success is just a series of small steps 😊 Good luck! And kept us posted 😊

Thank you for your supportive words. I have just finished week one and have lost 1.9 kg. Small steps indeed but it is heading in the correct direction.

Wow! That's a lot of weight in one week! Very well done 😊😊😊
