How easy is it to lose weight?

[GreenbackBoogy]

Just wondering if my experience is typical!

It is really easy, the problem is keeping it off.

What is your experience?

That it's bloody hard to stick to it for more than about three weeks, something will happen like my period arrives, I have a week where I gain, and it frustrates me because I think, "All that work this week and I've GAINED" and I give up! I would love to know the secret of keeping on through that, I think if I could stick to ANY plan for 4-6 weeks, then I'd stick to it for ages, it's literally learning how to make it habit in the first place, and to KEEP ON at it even when there's a blip, that I find so hard.

I find it really easy. I have lost the same 8 stone twice now, and about to embark on the third time.. I get into the zone within a week and don't deviate at all, the weight falls off. Takes about 8-10 months. I enjoy it! I just can't stay thin though. I will always be a binge eater!

Easy find it really hard to believe when posters say they are sticking to a diet but either not losing or gaining weight I think if you stick to it and make the right food choices it's very easy.

@greenbackboogy I am exactly the same as you.

We're obvs not alone either or everyone would be fit, healthy and happy.

I really need to give myself a kick up the arse and force myself to break past the two or three week mark.

Not on a Thursday though of course, new diet and exercise regimes are for a Monday!
