Introduction Text My weight gain snuck up on me slowly. Even just 5 or 6 pounds each year for 10+ years and, well, you can do the math :-) I'm quite a bit overweight! My belly is unhealthy but what I really hate is seeing my big double chin in photos! I have read that less than noble motivations can give us the nitty gritty reasons we need to take action though so maybe it can be turned into motivation. I have a friend who made good progress with Slimming World for a while so I thought I would try to benefit from the group support online, though I am not quite sure if I will manage calorie counting and exercise tracking. Good look everyone in your individual weight loss journeys just remember it probably took quite a while to put all this weight on so it's won't come off overnight, slow and steady weight loss is best!

I want to lose a significant amount of weight to get from obese to something nearer the advisable weight for my height - I have around 50lbs to lose which is a lot. As Jim Rohn said "How many pounds overweight should a man be when he's 50?" I also want to feel more energetic and, perhaps a vain reason, just look less tired and more like the age I am - I think I look older!

Some items from the Slimming World plan like baked potatoes, bacon medallions, salads, Muller Light yogurts, less sugar, fewer takeaways, and in the long term fewer meals coming from a cardboard box and more that I prepare myself.

I'm from Glasgow in Scotland. It's not a picturesque tourist city like Edinburgh but it's much less expensive and more "liveable" for those on low incomes.

I love the films Before Sunrise/ Sunset/ Midnight with Julie Delpy and Ethan Hawke. The movie Casablana is my favourite though I guess I have a soft spot for some romantic films! I like movies at the cinema best rather than watching at home and enjoy a cinema called the GFT in Glasgow especially, since it shows lots of foreign films and watching them is the next best thing to travel!
