    Welcome to the community @larkintimj :) Great work! Well done for managing to push through the mental and physical barriers- I imagine that can't have been easy at all.

    Hi @nutritionproject and welcome to the community. Just to let you know that we do not allow advertising on the community.
    I respectfully disagree, it was a free resource to help with weight management and healthy recipes. How is it any different than the screen shots posted further up the thread?

    I am still trying to lose weight. I have about 5 more stone more to lose till I am at a healthy weight. 

    Half a stone in 5 days is impressive. Well done.

    I have found that cutting down on carbohydrates and fat help to bring weight down. Fill up on vegetables and some fruit, but not too much of the latter as fruit contains sugar. A good balanced diet, but don't count calories. Don't weigh yourself every day - once a week is quite enough. Slow weight loss is better, it gives the body a chance to adjust to a new regimen. And don't get upset  if you do lapse  occasionally.

    I've put on an awful amount more since giving up on dieting but determined to start over just need to be dedicated it's not easy having very limited exercise options as well but getting a mobility car soon means I can get to the gym and swimming lessons which will be life changing. On holiday now and haven't dieted at all but it feels like my body is crying out for weight loss now

    @Teddybear12 thanks for the encouraging words

    @Geegeenumber1 I wouldn't be dieting while on holiday either, good for you

    Just a quick update from my side as it's been a few months. As some will know I recently gave up excessive alcohol (I still enjoy a small amount within the recommended allowance) and to help me stop I started eating snacks again as I needed something nice in life to get me through the days. However, last Wednesday, I stopped eating the snacks too - today will be day 7 of eating no snacks AS WELL as drinking less alcohol. In the last 6 days I have lost 8 pounds which I think is unbelievable but shows how many calories I was getting from alcohol and snacks!!

    Why does autism make it harder to lose weight?

    I am asking as I have autism and don't find it makes much difference, except perhaps that I can't get out on my own to exercise.

    Just for clarity, I'm not doubting you, I am just intrigued as to how the condition has an effect. :)

    It’s because I have always had to watch my weight and I hate seeing people eating what I’m not supposed to have. If I’m out and my friend is getting cake I would have to get the same or if a group of us were all getting pizza o would have to do the same. Also I struggle with the word treat so I presume because it’s a treat I can have it and I have ended up putting weight on that way.
