    For me, dieting has never worked. I didn't want to admit I needed to exercise but thats what made me finally lose the weight. I didn't even change my diet. I still hate to exercise but like the results!!

    I am really struggling to lose weight too, though I have a good idea of how to do it! Things which have worked for me in the past are

    Drinking lots of water
    Exercising most days of the week
    Having 2-3 serves of fruit and 5-6 serves of veg a day, every day
    No havign junk food in the house
    Being prepared when I go out with food/snacks instead of buying food when out, or having a plan of what to eat if I do buy something
    Indulging a little (go out with friends once a fortnight and have a big meal or a few drinks, or have a mars bar occaisionally!)
    Being more active with life in general (eg, mow the lawn, hand wash the car, scrub windows/bathrooms/showers....)
