If you’ve just dusted off your annual ‘go on a diet’ resolution for the fifth year on the trot, it could be time to review your methods. Clearly, ‘going on a diet’ is not having the desired effect.

“The key” says Pat Wilson, manager of internet site Weight Loss Resources, “is to get back in touch with what your body really needs, and make changes to your eating and lifestyle habits that you can live with in the long term.”

Not easy when we have an environment full of high-calorie convenience options - and exercise is something that got left behind with the schoolbooks. But it can be done.

Wendy Greenroyd, 31, had been on the diet treadmill for over 5 years before she took control. She used the tools offered online at WLR to change her habits and lose the final 2 stone out of an impressive total of 5 stone.

“Losing weight is a long term thing (especially if you have a lot of weight to lose to get to your overall target)” she says. “You need to be able to do it in a way that doesn’t restrict your life as you are doing it. This is how I feel I have managed to lose so much weight.”

Hazel Harris, 56, had been on the diet treadmill for 12 years before she took control. She used the tools offered online at WLR to change her habits and lose 3 stone.

“I found the site made it so much easier to monitor my food intake and also my exercise” she says “and to gradually adopt a healthy eating plan which is becoming a way of life rather than a diet.”

Graham, 36, had been gaining weight steadily for years before he took control. He used the tools offered online at WLR to change his habits and lose over 4 stone.

“Firstly, for me it’s not a diet! Just a new way of life” he says. “I work in computing and already do loads of things online so, I thought, why not try to lose weight online. I was originally looking for a calories database - lo and behold, Weight Loss Resources, not only did it tell me what I was eating, but it would keep a database for me as well.”

Possibly the best thing about WLR is that you can try it free, for 3 days, to see if it suits you before you go spending any money. Log on to www.weightlossresources.co.uk
