“Totally changed my life...for the better.”

I joined Weight Loss Resources in March 2012. I was an overweight child, an obese teen and a morbidly obese adult. I have tried every diet under the sun but never got to grips with the actual reason I overate. WLR gave me control...I log my calories and exercise and it calculates everything for me and I can adjust my rate of loss for more or less calories. They do not advocate a particular diet, or way of eating. It is very basic...consume less than you expend! Obviously, they encourage a balanced diet, and have nutritional recommendations. But nothing is forbidden and most members do not talk about a diet, but a sustainable way of eating FOR LIFE.

But by far the best thing is the forum. I don't know how many members there are but there are thousands on the forums. Mostly wonen, though there are plenty of men too, who are trying to lose weight (or maintain). The pool of knowledge is extraordinary and the support they offer has been the key to my weight loss. At any time, when I've been struggling, confused, disheartened or tempted, they are there to support, advise, commiserate and (when things are going well) celebrate. I don't know if it is the relative anonymity, or the shared problem with food, but the members are extremely generous with their time and encouragement.

There are challenges to give an extra boost to weight loss, diet reviews, a massive food database and an on hand helpteam who are readily available to support and encourage too.

In 26 months I have lost 8 stone in weight. I am still obese, but getting close to the "overweight" threshold. I know that I have done this, that I have had to address my issues with food but without the support of WLR I would never have got this far.
