Hello.
I am a 38 year old British mother of 4, now living in Australia. Ever since we moved here 2.5 years ago, my weight has crept up. Food is tooooo good here Both my husband & I need to lose weight - I want to lose 14 lbs, and he wants to lose about 40. We have tried low fat diets, and Weightwatchers, with limited success. When I was younger, getting weight off was easy - maybe it is something to do with age.

I get fed up with people telling me I do not need to lose weight - but I know that I feel fat, I know that very few of my clothes fit, and I know that I want to shift the weight.

I am on day 2 of the LC diet - I had terrible "sugar shakes" yesterday - I was very wobbly - all I wanted was sugar - and I didn't give in. Today has been better - I will try & get my husband to join this forum.

By the way is alcohol completely forbidden???

I am looking forward to encouragement & support from people here.

Thanks

Lucy
