Question to MNetters who have lost a LOT of wheight without joining a slimming club

[gorionine]

I am talking 5+ stones to loose. How did you keep going? I found it "easy" to loose about 2 1/2 stones but really strugled after and did in the 3 years that followed the loss put all of it back on.

I do have the motivation to start looking after myself a bit bettet but need encouragement for the long haul I think.

I read "Fat Is A Feminist Issue" by Susie Orbach and lost about twenty kilograms two years ago...sorry I can never remember how many stones that is! But the book is incredible; it totally alters the way you think about food and weight.

Just checked, and it was 3 stone 2 pounds that I lost...so a bit less than what you're talking about. I'd still recommend it though!

Thanks all! I will look for your thread now Shiney!

The one I could find is full already, is it the one you are talking about?
