Hi There folks, Im Julie from Cheshire, England. I work in a busy doctors surgery sat at a desk most of the time doing admin. I am trying to lose weight & have tried almost every diet out there over the years-losing the weight/gaining the weight/losing the weight!! Has anyone any advise about keeping it off for ever??

Hi Jules! I am new as well, welcome and good luck.

hi and welcome, well i lost about 100 lbs 11 years ago and kept it off for 8 years till i got put on a certain medication that caused me to gain, i just cut out soda's watched what i ate and walked two miles a day and it came off fairly easy, that's what i'm doing this time also and so far so good,it's only been 6 weeks for a 21 lbs loss!! good luck!

Check out the UK forum! As for keeping it off, we have an active Maintainers forum and you are welcome to join us starting right now! Most people who are keeping the weight off are engaging in the same types of behaviors we used to get the weight off. It really does work!!!
