Friends slimming together

Friends who slim together have more chance of staying thin for longer, according to a new report yesterday.
A survey in the UK, backed up by research in the US, has revealed that women who diet alone have only a one in five chance of keeping the pounds off for a month or more.
However, those slimming with friends have at least a one in three chance of continuing to stick to a diet and keeping the weight off for four weeks or longer.

I complimented my brother on how he looked today and he told me that he had lost a few pounds. He said that he had been inpsired by my weight loss. He started the GM diet on Sunday and feels great.

Hi! I recently lost a load of weight and am concerned about keeping it off. This evening I came across an article at the DailyMail which states, "We are a nation obsessed with dieting – but we’re also fatter than ever.

The reason? Yo-yo dieting - which can mean some women lose up to 10 stone in a decade - but pile even more weight back on.
Now, a Channel 5 documentary aired tonight uncovers the depressing truth of weight loss - that within one year of their diet, 80 per cent of people will gain weight, often more than they lost."
