Can I join please?

I have plenty to lose - ideally about 4 stones - so I need all the support I can get, lol.

Good luck everyone. Off for a glass of grapefruit juice to bust some fat :o)

Welcome Maria

It has taken me 2 years to lose 4 stone . My theory is , is that if it comes off slowly , if it should go back on it will do so slowly :-)

Dawnie do you think maybe you don't eat enough?

I go to one of the practice nurses at my GP to help me lose weight and after I did a food diary for her she said I was undereating.

I'm trying to eat more often now, especially earlier on the day, and she's also advised me to try taking Sea Kelp and grapefruit juice as they both help to boost the metabolism apparently.

Edit - Sorry only just realised Dawnie didn't add her post today.

Not heard of Sea Kelp Maria.

Where do you get it from & in what form is it?

Hi.,Penny how are you? I have just googled sea kelp tabs, you can get them from Holland and Barretts, they are supposed to help the thyroid , also add iodine to your diet...I tried cider vinegar tabs when we were doing it before didnt seem to make a differance ,only to my purse.... these tabs are always very expensive.....

I will seriously think about joining you after New Year if you will have me, need to lose ideally about 1 to 2 stone. Got the dancing mat for the Wii for Christmas, so will dance my way a little lighter too hopefully. Didnt do it last year but must really make an effort and would love some help.

Still one day to go to New Year, one more day to have chocs!!!!

Yes I need to loose a bit of weight too! Am looking on e bay at the moment for a excercise bike, the old bum needs toning up a bit plus I've heard that it's good for the heart.
Never heard of sea kelp, is it ok to take it without consulting your doctor?

Started my diet today, still some chocs beckoning me but I think they will be transferred to the bin, too much temptation, tried giving them away but everyone refuses, they are free to good home. Not many left though.

I have been on my Wii Fit and on my Wii Dance Mat and burnt 150 calories dancing, doesnt sound much but better than sitting on couch.

Need to lose about 2 stone, getting really hungry now and when I get hungry I crave sweet stuff, HELP. lol.

Good Luck this week
