Food , food glorious food !!!

Well , I've given myself a good talking to and I need to lose 4 stone but Iam going to do it surs e slowly... so not calling it a diet but heathly eating , wine only at weekends and cutting out all the crap , we ate out alot on holiday and I put about 1/2 stone on and Iam already far to heavy so Iam going to try and do it.This is day 3 and Iam feeling positive .... x

Good luck with the diet Lexie

I'm doing the Zoe Harcombe lifestyle eating and have lost 1.5 stones since Sept and Pete has lost almost 4st in the same time. I have another 1.5 st to lose and hope to get it all off before the end of the year, was going to aim for June but I seem to be sticking at the moment. Up until 4 weeks ago I was losing 1lb a week, then I stuck, guess I need to kick start it with a week of detox again as I definitely haven't reached my ideal weight We have found it easy to stick to as its more of a lifestyle change than a diet, but we have to admit to having at least one treat on Thurs and Sunday is a diet free day

Hugs and positive vibes to help you through the worst part .... the beginning few weeks

We Lost it a bi on sunday , wine and chocolate but back on schedule again now as you say lessof a diet more of a life style change !!! and Iam trying to walk a bit more now as I defnetly need more exercise ! ,,,,,,, ha ha xx

Well done Jen. I tried that diet once (the detox anyway) and found it very successful. My eating plan now is very similar. It helps that I like lots of veggies, fruit and brown rice!

I'm at Slimming World and it suits me as it is an eating plan for life rather than a diet. I had a week without wheat last week and even though I had pork crackling with the roast and 2 flakes and 1/2 a chocolate egg I still lost 2lbs which is heaps better than my usual 1/2 - 1lb a week then 2 weeks with no loss. Think I may have a slight intolerance to wheat. Going to try another week to check it wasn't a fluke!

well done Jane keep it up !! iam not brill with any rice white or brown ! so try and avoid it ,

Well done Jane

How's the diet working out Lexie ?

I've found out that I'm intolerant to wheat - not gluten just the wheat part of it, and boy does it cause problems when eating out!! But, I have to try and stick to a wheat free eating regime for a few months, 6 if I can manage it to clear the intolerance then hopefully I will be able to restart slowly. Going wheat free does help with the weight loss part though he he.

Hi jen nice to see you back again , it was like a ghost town on here last week , not many of us abou , I've not been abou over the weekend , but Dulcie back at school now so 'puter all mine . Dulcie is coeliac so I know how you feel , although she is eaing a little bit of wheat now she is on a trial , with some medication and have to say has made life much easier but still has odd flare ups !
Me I AM VERY pleased to say have lost well over 1/2 a stone so only 3 1/2 to go ! and I 've got my bike sorted so I'll start riding it again soon ..... I fall off pretty often and it kills me round here all the hills but hey I'll be getting fit !!!

WTG girl, nice weight loss and poor Dulcie I hope the new trial meds work for her

Its good to be back, but only for this week as I am away again next week

Thanks Iam pretty pleased myself !! Where you off to ?

Dieting?????

Well IAM really really pleased , have lost a tad under a stone now , and to be honest its not been tooo difficult, so only 3 stone to go , defnetly doing a bit more exercise has helped ....and saved me a bit money wise , as Iam trying to walk locally so no car park fees , and best of all saving petrol ! Still have'nt ridden my bike but hopefully will do very soon !
