I really need help!

[slushie]

I am around 4 to 5 stone overweight. I have gained 11lbs since early December. None of my clothes fit, I'm lethargic and miserable.
I really need to lose weight but feel totally overwhelmed by the amount.
I don't know where to start.
Does anyone have any advice to get me started and motivated?

The first thing to do will be to identify what the problem is.
Do you exercise? Is your overeating down to too-big portions? Or is it that you snack too much?
Do you eat healthily, but in large quantities? Or do you eat quite badly?
A good honest appraisal of where you are now, and why, is the best starting point.

Slushie Go on the Paul Mckenna thread it is THE BEST it's not a diet so you don't get discouraged if you have an off day you just start at the next meal.

It's about HOW, WHEN, WHERE and WHY we eat (not particularly WHAT we eat, but I followed a healthy diet anyway and didn't change it) and it works I lost 3 stone on it, and could've lost more if I'd needed to.

Also it's about approval of yourself, it helps cravings etc.
