Reasons to lose weight

I tumbled across the trim club when doing some Internet research about ‘stress busting foods’ and was captured by the 5 foods not to eat presentation. I live in the UK and am very interested to see if the plan can help me to manage bi polar 2 disorder as there is a link between nutrition and mood. I would like to lose 50lbs and develop a regular exercise habit. I look forward to keeping up to date with the forums. Good luck to you all in your journey.

My reasons to lose weight I am uncomfortable and I don’t want to be.
My weight started creeping up 15 pounds a year; and. previously successful strategies to lose it no longer work.
I started this plan two days ago at 205 pounds and 61 years old.
I felt much healthier at 142 pounds, and I was not out of breath when I ran. My last 5K race was in 2009, and I won for my age/sec division.

we all have reasons to loose weight, and different reasons over the years-some that motivate us to be successful and others that dont for whatever reason. I personally hate to fail- so either never start or if think things are not working stop.my reason for loosing weight is I have now booked my holiday of a lifetime to Canada, travelling around the east then around the west , all on a coach and want to be able to do my seat belt up on the plane, and move around the coach effortlessly without everyone looking and whispering or tutting.i also want to be healtier and be able to enjoy the holiday to the full- lots of walking involved. I will be 50 when I am over there and it is also our 25th anniversary so two more reasons to look nice for the pictures.i would love to have friends on here to motivate us along with the trials and tribulations we all face, for me well meaning friends and family that I sometimes think sabotage us deliberately.(afterall it stops them from being the fattest if you remain so!)does anyone else feel that support form others would really help(and I dont meen nagging) yo

Hi, i am in the UK, signed up today, 31 december 2012, have at least 5 stone to lose as it is getting harder to walk with all this extra weight, ( i am over 65) tried WW SW Dukan etc, I have never started a diet on new years day before, but i am going to start tomorrow 1.1.2013, just been shopping for the first 3 days meals, our waitrose is soooo expensive for some of the things, i will have to make a trip to town to tesco i think. Happy New Year to you all.

Everyone has so many good reasons to loose weight. Some I truly understand personally. I really started gaining weight after a neck injury, was on pain medications and muscle relaxers that damaged my liver prior to having surgery. Also was a smoker for a while, quit 8 years ago. Alot of stressors in my life, now I’m all alone. Total hysterectomy in 2000 finally caught up with me hormonally. In past year diagnosed with hypertention, diabetes, Hypothyroidism, vitamin D deficiency and high risk for congested heart disease. I take a hand full of medicines every day and get monthly injections for hormone replacement and B12. I’m 54 and feel like I’m dieing early. I’ve got to loose a minimum of 60 lbs and 70 wouldn’t hurt. I guess the sad thing is I’m a nurse and should know better and take better care of myself. Healthcare providers rarely take care of themselves. They take care of others instead. I want to loose weight because I want to live. I want to feel good and healthy again. I want to feel pretty again. Most of the reasons are the same reasons everyone else states and more. Mainly I am not ready to die from obesity.
