Hi everyone.

I made a great start on New years eve and went to a party and didnt drink or eat anything.
Diet coke all night.

Yesterday not so good, I was tired and craving something and everything and ate whatever I could get my hands on.
I didnt enjoy it though but kept eating which was just greedy.

Today back on track, I was at work so no time to pick or eat much.
OH had done a roast for tea without the fattening bits and plain veg and potatoes.

I have decided to go cold turkey and avoid anything which is sweet, it is like a trigger for me and once I get the sweet taste thats it!

Take each day as it comes,one bad day doesnt mean you have to have another 6 bad days.

ive been gud all day today all ive had is beans on toast as im not hungrey cos ive got this flu thats knockin about grrrrrr suppose its one way to lose the weight lol

iv been good not had much apart from pain killer LOL
still got my tooth ache

so not eaten much but the only thing with not eating much is that you are not going to loss waight

I can't for the life of me think why we were given 2 tins of biscuits, 2 large tins of sweets and three boxes of chocolates as christmas presents???
All from family too! It's depressing to think they don't know us a little better.
It looks like I'll be doing some recycling next time LOL

Errr, NO. I will not be eating them, the very thought makes me feel sick.

island i have a thing about keeping the empty tins
just befor christmas my daughter chuck 5 tins out that i had put away all empty
she ask what thay was for i told her thay may come in handy
she siad yer and the extra 3 new tins you have just got will come in handy as well

the witch chuck them in the bin and ask how many tins do i need LOL


back to my diet i had soup yesterday for dinner a samwich for lunch
but i must get my head back in alder to do this diet propley

ive been on scales this morning and ive lost 5 pounds yippppeeeeee mid this flu has knocked me for 6 and im hardle eatin anything

Hi Tinks, can one of last years failers join again???!!!

Did fairly well walking on the beach and taking the dog out for a drag but Christmas has piled it all on again!

I have enrolled in an exercise class that starts Monday morning and I'm hoping this will be the shove I need.

Well done Tinky, thats brilliant.

My week didnt go as well as planned(:

I will have to miss slimming class tonight because it clashes with the PTA meeting. Its the AGM and I cant miss it as Im on the commitee.

How did you manage to loose the 5lb?

Can you let us know what you did or didnt eat so I can go back next week, get on the scales and have a smile on my face.

On the plus side there are no Christmas goodies left to eat and we are on a food economy drive at the mo as it is a 5 week month till pay day!

The tribe are all back to School, Uni and work here so I am going to get cracking on the eating and exercise plan.

rita yes i lost 5 pounds just this week mind i have feeling dreadful with this flu

helen of course you can join in

cooper i havent done much this week as above tho my one naughty thing i do and cant change my habits is im alqays raiding the cupboards threw the night i no its naughty but how do i stop lol

Did anyone watch '10 things you need to know about losing weight' on BBC1 last night (thursday)?
It was very interesting.
Catch it on replay/demand or BBCi if you can

Try Slimming world you can go on line and down load a free plan for a week vegi or no vegi
It is a great one to do and you can eat loads

Hi Island
I too watched the BBC programme last night and found it really interesting. I was surprised by some of the findings,the fats found around the kidneys, the low fat dairy products helping to get rid of fats too.
Lots we know already if we are honest.
But I still don't understand how it seems 2 people can eat similar foods - one is slim -manother can be overweight.

Yes do watch if you haven't seen it yet

Linda :O) XxX

Joan your not being bossy. Lol

I need a firm hand when it comes to weight loss:)

I have tried the South beach diet before, it sound similar to the one you mention and cutting the carbs down does seem to work.

I am being very strict and wil log in when I can for moral support.

I missed last weeks class (sliming world) but must loose the 5.5lbs I put on or I will be out of my target weight and have to pay class fees!

Slimming world allows the member to set a target which I did, 10 stone 10lbs, but I would like to get at least another 3/4 of a stone off before we go on holiday in May

I've never heard of Zoe Harcombe, think I'll look her up.

I followed the Dukan diet for a while, the problem is i am no good at following any diets. I find it easier to exercise.

I love Curry Joan,

I made a slimming world one last night using chicken, onion, garlic, chiken stock and spices.

My Father in Law said he would try it, he doesnt like curry, and ate it all.
After he said he thought it would be "hot"

Currys have a reputation of being hot rather than "spiced"

I will google Harcome diet now and have a read.

Teresa

Hi Joan,

I looked at the Harcombe diet, it is intresting especially as Government experts say we should eat more carbs.

I find the more carbohydrate I eat,especially bread and pasta, the more hungry I become.

Morning all who are adding to this thread.
I went to see the diabetic dietician today, a regular appointment. Well I lost nearly 5 lbs since I saw her before Christmas. Something I haven't achieved in the months I have been seeing her. Think it was mainly as I had been ill, firstly with a sickness bug and then with a flu type virus.
So now I must stick with it and continue to drop even a pound a week would be good.

Good luck everyone else

Linda :o) XxX

Will be trying to loose some more weight this year.
Did loose some last year, put a little back on but didn't go back to my starting weight.
Now need to loose 15-20 lbs.
Will be trying to increase my physical activity slightlt.
Also cutting down a little on my portion sizes, while trying to choose the less fattening options.

Will let you know how I get on,

Tess
