Isn't this simply going to duplicate Lose Weight 9
or are you thinking that this new thread should be devoted solely to actual weight loss/healthy eating information so leaving the Lose Weight 9 thread for mutual support.? If so that would be a good idea as I tend to drop "weight loss scientific/medical research findings" into the lose weight thread where it rapidly gets lost among the chat.

Slug-a-Bed Young Children May Resist Extra Pounds
Children who get less sleep than recommended are significantly more likely to be overweight or obese than their peers who get the right amount of sleep."Sleeping an additional hour reduced young children's chance of being overweight from 36% to 30%, while it reduced older children's risk from 34% to 30%,"
Remember each hour before 12 is worth more than each hour after 12.
So it's far more important to go to bed earlier than get up later.

Hi Ted,
Actually Ted, I was unaware of Lose Weight 9 tbh - it looks a very friendly thread.:T

I think what I thought of, is that it's aimed more at people who, whether it's through poor health or limited finances or both, can find user-friendly information that may be more helpful to them than the standard market options. Some people are so overweight they wouldn't be able to face a lycra-ridden gym, for example.

I saw how many people tried to win the Fattitude dvd that MSE Martin offered. It made me think that people who need to lose a lot of weight and are in poor physical and/or mental health, might need that extra bit of support and information as to resources and tips.

I think the other threads will offer good ideas too - the old-style moneysavers recipes and Lose Weight 9 for example,- and sensible ideas with an eye to what you can accomplish and how, when you have poor health problems. I think that's the slight difference.

The people on the Fattitude thread seemed to want a place to belong, share, support and inform and asked if someone could start a thread, which I did because the Fattitude thread will probably close. Supporting others is important if your confidence is very low, so chat may well be a helpful and useful encouragement.

I know you're a regular poster Ted so I expect you will probably post your articles. I'm not a mod in any way hun or any kind of expert - I think our mod is Glad on the Health Board. Apologies if I'm wrong.:o No offence either to any other thread :T - we will all find what we need in all the different forums, not just on this thread. I hope I haven't upset anyone - this thread isn't 'mine' - it will develop it's own character as it grows, like any other thread. Hope this helps.
Much Love,
Tiff xxx
