Hi Sledgin

Do not know of any quick fixes as I'm trying to lose a lot of weight but glad you have joined us please stick around and post lots I'm vegetarian as well.

There aren't any magic pills or potions available here , but plenty of advice help and support. take it one day at a time, eat helthily and slowly and surely you will get there. Welcome aboard!!

sorry....i typed that the wrong way....beleive me I know that all the rubbish does not work and making youself ill in the process is about as stupid as it gets.
I want to do this helthily.....just looking for some ideas....like the frozen grapes!

I agree with everything that's been said - I'm afraid it's something you have to work at and there is not way you will shift that weight in that time. However, being young if you get down to it you could lose a good few lbs.

hi sledgin i cant wait till i can type im on my last 30-35 lbs to go i cant begin to imagine how much different things will be then.i know what you mean about needing new inspistaional ideas though ive tried nearly every diet and clas sout there at some point and they all do get boring after a while and thats where ive always gone wrong before IVE ALLOWED it to become boring good luck to you and read through other boards theres a lot of hints and tips out there after all were all after the same thing

[sledgin]

cheers.....i hope I can shift a good few pounds....I know it wont all go.........Im a realist. but as my signature says Im smiling and hoping!

so now you know my story...what is yours.

oh my goal is about as far off right now as my lottery win but i will get there,i started on 222lbs im now down to 216lbs(weighd today) i hope to get to about 100lbs by next july a site i visited worked out id need to lose 1.6lbs a week to reach goal by then which means i dont have to be as strict with myself as i have been in the past

[sledgin]

thats a great loss.........and really sensible so you can get there gradually...........
hope it is working well for you
I have lost four pounds so far and am really trying to keep to it.
