Default Newbie from UK

Hi
I'm in the UK.
I thought I had done every diet there was till I read a few forums on here

The last one I used was Atkins and it worked like no other ever had, once, now it dosen't seem to have the same magic. Now I'm trying the Metabolism Miracle hoping to lose about 45lb. though I'll be more than happy with anything over 30lb so that'll be my first goal.

I do know that I need support to keep to this and input from others who are on MM, especially from people in the UK coz I think I'm going to have a problem with some of the recommended food stuff as I can't find it anywhere and don't really know what might be a good substitute.


I'm 5ft 1in tall and weigh 11st 8lb (is that 184lb), so... that's me.

Hello there, dragon. I'm not on the MM diet, but wanted to welcome you. I'm in the UK, American (with UK citizenship), I might be able to help you with some food substitutes. Welcome!

Hi Dragon!
Yep, there really are a lot of different eating plans, I thought I had covered all of them too! - sounds like you're ready to get started with a good plan - the support you need is here - we'll all be here to cheer you on.

Glad to have you join us! There are lots & lots of different groups and forums - I'm sure you'll find some that will keep you motivated and inspired - you'll be a wonderful addition to any of them. Try the weight loss support forums, they're active and very helpful - also the Success stories are a definite must for motivation. There's a great group in the UK Chicks forum - check them out.

There are bunches of people here with more to lose and some with less - the bottom line is that we all have to do it a day at a time. The good thing is that we'll have lots of company along the way.

I've only been here since last fall, having NEVER been part of an online forum. What has been so eye-opening is how much it has helped me. Whenever I feel overwhelmed or defeated, I just log on and read some of the success stories, complete with their before & after photos - or read about others still dealing day to day with their challenges - and before I know it, the time has flown by and so have all the thoughts of going off track or giving up. It has made all the difference in my success so far.

So welcome - you've found the right place - join in by inspiring us and being inspired!

All the best - good luck with your goals,
Lee
