Twas a year 10 maths lesson - we were looking at some key circle theorems. After half an hour or so, we naturally digressed onto new year resolutions, which brought up my having stopped smoking, which brought up stories of how my previous head and deputy used to drag me out of lessons to cadge a cig when they'd run out, which led to the story of one head dragging me out of a year 11 (set 1) lesson two weeks before their GCSE to ask me the question upon which this thread is based.

I started the year at 20 stone dead. I now weight 19 4 1/4. I hope to lose a lot of weight this year and sincerely hope to keep it off.
I'm terrified of dying young.

I come in at about 17st or so, which I fear will balloon now I'm off the ciggies. Can't help but feel that I need to reacquaint myself with Alan Carrs easyway to lose weight - he talks a lot of sense if you've not read it.

I've always been big.. I'm 6ft4 with a big frame anyway..
I blame my mother.. she used to gon on at me about going on a diet and loosing weight, but she was the one giving me huge portions and the wrong stuff to eat...
As a child I got adult portions and was always told that I had to eat it all before I got any pudding.. which was most nights..
I also blame a work colleage of mine from when I started work as a YTS trainee..
he was 2 years older and as big a guy as I am now..
he started asking me If I wanted to go to the chippy with him on a dinnertime.. ..
when I said I couldn't afford it he would say "go on, I'll buy you a bag of chips"... the condition was that I was always the one to get out of the car and go get the chips.....
so that's how it started with chips everyday that progressed onto pie and chips when I could afford to start buying my own...
this was occasionally broken up by forays to the sandwhich wagon that started as BEST on crusty and ended up as "mixed grill" when they got to know us.. the mixed grill was 3 bacon, 3 sausage, 3 egg, kebab burger, beefburger, mushrooms, fried bread, beans and tomatoes.. all for £3...
this went on for 3 years and saw my weight baloon from about 17st to about 25st...
it has since then crept up to my current weight over the past 11 years..
I did go on a diet about 4 years ago that saw me back down to 26st6 when I heard that my mate above had died of pneumonia in hospital..
the diet lasted for about 6 months until the company i worked for moved and instead of getting home by 16:45 I wasn't getting back until 17:30 or so.. the longer drive draining my mental resolve and then it started with the "oh I can't be bothered with the 30-45 mins prep time for a salad, I'll grab some chips or order a pizza.. or bung some dippers in the oven and collapse on the sofa while it cooks...."..

With respect ColJack, thats just a sad tale of admitting defeat...
i know it's easy to criticise my stance, but you have the chance to change things yourself, but only if you REALLY want to. Don't ever go on a diet.... you need to change your life style... forever.... it's up to you, no one else...
