Hi Mark
I'm sure with motivation and support (both available here) you can soon lose those stones!
we have a male member here who has just had his 6 stone award last night from Slimming World so it can totally be done!
What weight loss plan are you using? I lost a load of weigh with good old diet and exercise in the past, but it came back and I struggled to lose just a couple of lbs for 3 months before biting the bullet and joining slimming world - am 21lb down in 8 weeks now so glad I joined and the group is a great support.
A lot of us run journals where we post food and offer each other support, we also post our daily stuff so often warts and all which is fine.
There is a Christmas challenge too if you fancy jumping on board.
Look forward to seeing you around the board and celebrating your losses.
