Anyone doing Zoe Harcombe?
I would never have known about her had I not tried her diet that was serialised in the news of the world magazine 3 months ago.
It appealed to me because it was proper food, no calorie counting - but I was going away on hols so decided to do a kerry katona last blow out and then I'd start it when I got back.
I've bought the book and am so far 5lbs lighter and I am only on day 4 of the 5 day kickstart. Phase 2 looks really good and Phase 3 is a return to completely normal eating and drinking with just a couple of simple rules to follow.
It's brilliant. I can't recommend it highly enough. I thought I was a hopeless big dinner portion fan - a crisp and chocolate addict with alcoholic tendencies. But she has just blown all that apart for me. (It's more than just a diet - it's an explanation of why we crave things and why we feel helpless - phase 1 and 2 eliminate these cravings pretty painlessly so that by phase 3 you can eat all the things you used to but with a couple of simple rules and with a new found awareness and control over food, gained from phase 1 and 2)
She's got a couple of websites - one under zoe harcombe, one under thedietguru I think.
Hope this helps anyone struggling with calorie counting and exercise
oh man oh man.....serious blimp-idge going on here.....i am back. gotta lost stone for christmas.....need to if i want to indulge in all the nice chjristmas treaty bits....

I'm determined to lose some weight before I go on holiday so this it for me.
I've also got a friend to join me and we're meeting up every friday to have a weigh-in
I know I need to lose weight now. I couldn't bear it if my friend started losing weight a and I didn't! (bit of competitiveness plus I really want to get rid of this awful extra weight!)
How are you all doing. Come back here and talk to me you lot!
Squidmission - a whole month - you can look and feel different in that time, definitely enough to enjoy your holiday more.
Bad sleep last night here too! dd screamed her head off. I am going to try to be strong.
Wrong thread, but... why won't she sleep?
I'm going on holiday on the 15th December. How much weight can I lose by then?
You sound very motivated and happy lillypie
I've started off well today but have had hardly any sleep (up since 2.30!)
I know its going to be really hard for me to try to get through the day without toast and biscuits. I really have to try and must remember that the struggle will be worth it.
So far today I have nly and 2 cheese slices.
Hi I am still on track with porridge for breakfast and bacon and eggs for lunch.I will have turkey salad for tea.
I am not finding it hard to resist goodies (or baddies lol) as I find I have no craving for them and if I find self weakening I eat some NLY and that sorts me out.
Feeling so good is my motivation to keep going.DP says I am much less grumpy too
Vezzie well done on the loss so far.
Yes, I'm wondering where everyone is. Get back here and lose weight, You Lot!!
Yesterday was not good. I was extremely tired from a very sleepless night. I cannot diet if I'm very tired. I had 2 slices of toast and marmalade and a packet of crisps for lunch because I couldn't be bothered to sort out any food
Today is better as I had a better night.
I had nly with a small amount of rinsed off tinned clemetines (not perfect but didn't have much of a choice) for breakfast. Lunch was left over chicken casserole.
I've got chicken saag for dinner.
How's everyone else doing?
Where are all the Harcombettes?! Are you all away somewhere making exquisite raw vegetable salads to have with your lovely light creamy omelettes?
Well something snapped in my brane today and I bought bathroom scales. To show I am committed, or something. Anyway, partly by having lost 4 lb since last Thursday (!) and partly by weighing myself nekkid, it now seems that I have something more like 2 stone to lose. That seems much more possible! Somehow that seems within the realms of possibility, and not a life long uphill Sisyphean struggle.
Today I had leftover pasta with tomato sauce for lunch and it was a big mistake. By 3 my knees were buckling under me and I was desperately hungry. Lesson learnt: do not try to make it through the afternoon on a low fat carb meal. (I am pretty sure I got into this mess through silly v.v.v. low fat dieting in the first place and my body is overreacting to perceived scarcity.)
Sorry about the me me me me me post! Come and tell me more about how you are getting on so I can redeem myself by showing an interest!
Good luck everyone
Well done Lillypie!
Squidmission - I agree, buying something nice is good inspiration - I have a new dress to wear to a party this weekend and will be prancing around as if I have lost all the weight already.
I am going to weigh myself tomorrow in the machine in Boots - a week on from last time. Wish me luck.
lillypie thats so inspiring and well done
I do think its mad how we all feel and look so much better when we eat healthily and exercise yet we can still give up, turn back to the junk and feel crap again. Its so not worth it but I find so difficult at times.
I'm definitely sticking to it now
I want to be able to zip up the clothes in my wardrobe easily too!
