Why not just keep with eating healthy and lose the weight slowly? Or just eat slighly less and lose it slightly faster? Or work out a bit while eating healthy?

Diets really are bad for your body. Besides, they don't work well in keeping the weight off. Your body will be ready to gain weight after you stop the diet because you stressed it out.

Because people want quick and temporary changes to their lifestyle.  Most people fail because they go right back to their old habits once the diet is over.  They aren't willing to do what needs to be done.

Lets just say I'm real overweight, and even if I managed to speed the rate of my weight loss up a little bit, it would still take at least 8 years to get down to a good weight.

And now my "old habits" would be a healthy diet, so going back to my old habits once the diet it over is a good thing.

I have seen some things you have posted but that above statement is just  :censored: crap.  Get your head out of the sand - get on Induction, exercise, stick to it, and commit yourself to the very difficult challenge.  It sucks the first 6 weeks  :laugh2:  but you will get over it. 

You will question everything about the diet yet soon will relax when you find out its tasty and filling, eventually getting into the groove.

You will feel better about yourself, have more confidence and less self conscious of your size.  Eight years?  More like 8 months, especially if you have a thyroid or a slow metabolism.  Everyone is different though. 

It can be cheaper than your current food bill, you will have to buy some new clothes, but you HAVE TO KEEP your old ones in the closet where you pass everyday to remind yourself to keep on track.

But if you want to lose body parts, get heart disease, die earlier then you will have only yourself to blame.  Get help - get thinner.  Don't do it for me, do it for yourself.  :applaud:

I went to my local Pharmacy (Chemist) to have my weekly weigh in. I use one of those BMI weight ratio machines which cost extra, and I'm dumb enough to pay for it.  On the ticket it says my weight should be 9 stone =126 pounds to 13.5 stone = 189.  Eh?  ???

If I was 126 pounds, I would be seeking medical attention.  My mates would call me bony. Where do they get that information from? I'm going to write to the company who manufacturers the machines to see where they get their facts from.  :dizzy:

On the bottom of the ticket it says that if I'm over the BMI 38 (duh)  I should visit their website and go on THEIR diet.  Its the largest Pharmacy (Chemist) in the UK.  Which looks like they are giving misleading advice.

I have cut back on my cheese intake, and added an extra mile to my walk, and decided to stick on Induction for another six weeks.  I'm down to a size 38-39 from a size 46 (I goofed on my OP) which I'm so  :woot  happy.

I have 46 pounds left to go or like my wonderful misleading machine would like, 100 pounds.  Everyone is right about the food portion thing.  Its not a fad.  It is for life.   :cheers:

Who wants to be thinner for Christmas?
