    I lost 26kgs a few years ago. Put a little bit back on but kept most off. My advice is to find an exercise that you really like because then you can keep it up for a long time and not get really bored. For me it is soccer (first indoor then outdoor) - a team sport - uses lots of calories (around 1000 in a game of outdoor) - requires skill so instead of focusing on how puffed you are you are just focusing on getting the ball - team sport so you know you have to turn up. It may be something different for you. It is very worthwhile spending the time to find out what you is active and you actually enjoy it. Good luck . you can do it.

    I lost 27kg between 2001 and 2006. It came off slowly and stayed off (and all I have to lose is 5kg of baby weight from being pregnant). I did this with weight watchers first of all and then a combination of just being uber healthy and getting really into exercise - running, weights etc.

    You can do it!

    Thanks everybody.

    I have talked to DP and we are going to see my doctor and work on getting myself healthy and then i will do jenny craig or even weight watchers until i lose the first 10-15 and then do the rest myself. The first 6-8 weeks will be hard but if i can get through that it should be easy.

    Thanks for all your support and encouragement

    I started at 101kgs - had to loose 30kgs to get to my goal weight of 71kg. My best tip is break it up. 30kgs is ALOT of weight, but 5kgs is much more manageable. Just focus on lossing a little at a time and you will get there.
