Morning Tinky

I have similar prob as my hubby loves chocolate & is keen to share. Also I have 2 young children so don't want to put them on my "diet", I often cook different meals for them . I do like chicken a lot so I just quickly flavour some chicken & put it in the oven whilst their meal is cooking. I also buy different snacks for me & try & not be too tempted by their biscuits etc

of course you can join in nelly more the merrier lol

though i have started the new year on a posative note wanting to lose the weight but i do not get the support at home from my oh and kids what do i do lol

any more ?

Shall we say weigh in on Friday?

Hi Tinky well, my daughter went home after Christmas with 3 tins of chocolates to stop me eating them ( expect she'll be on this thread when she has eaten them!)

I started aerobics today using one of my many exercise dvd's and have sweated through it - feeling really virtuous so have celebrated with a packet of Cheesy Wotsits. Oh dear.

Seriously, I am going to do a dvd workout every day, come what may, so will report on my progress. I have a wedding in New Zealand to go to in April and will NOT be the fatty. Good luck to all of you.

Hi Everyone, can I join in too,
I lost 4 stone last year and have more to lose, I know I have put on weight over xmas, I am due to go to the practice nurse again on Tuesday so will let you know what the damage was!!! I refuse to have scales at home so usually get weighed by the nurse every 2 weeks but would value some more encouragement!!
Initially I started to lose weight for health reasons but once I go into it I started to enjoy that feeling that comes with not eating anything that comes along! I didn't call it a diet at first and because it was a case of "a little of what you fancy does no harm" no one knew I was on a "diet" until they saw the results! Looking forward to getting into it again! Lots of people seem to want to join in, does any one know how many??

Hi Tinky, and everyone else, I've been trying to lose weight now for ages,without much success.I asked my doctor about weight loss pills which curb the appetite,and he recommended Duromine,at the lower strength.I was worried about becoming addicted to them,so he said just to take 1 tablet every second day.I have been doing this,and guess what,they work.Not only do they curb the hunger pangs,they also give you extra energy.You must not take them after 12 midday,as they may keep you awake.They are pretty expensive here,but 30 tablets will last me 60 days,so it's not too bad.I'm combining eating sensibly with more exercise,
hopefully that will do the trick.I've only slipped up once since I started taking them,and that was because I forgot to take the pill that morning.
I was looking in the pantry at midnight,trying to find something to eat.
Duromine cuts out all that-you're not really worried about food at all. I've tried everything else,and my will power is just not strong enough, so this is great. I have about 12 kilos to lose. Good luck to everyone trying to lose weight,it's very hard, but it is possible. Hopefully this will help someone else,as well!

First day of diet, well no sweets, cakes etc., got out of the way yesterday, feel like I am on my way down now, more of a let down if I cheat as the days go on.

Not weighing myself for another 2 or 3 days but good luck to everyone who is trying to resist the goodies.

I started today.

Did WW last year and am doing that again but on my own.

Was slimmer last summer and it was lovely..... feel a bit of a pudding at the moment.....want to let back to last summers weight.

Good Luck this week

its worth a thought lol

Thats an idea Tinky, I pass one on my way to work, might call in.

marylin have u a local hospital or a nursing home near where u live im sure they will put ur choocys to good use

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.
