never been on this part of the site before, but wanted to share...i was probably inspired by that ridiculous baby food diet thing i heard about on the radio recently...blimey!
firstly, i'm a boy, not a girl, but i don't think it makes much difference on the diet front, but anyway, a couple of friends of mine had inspired /spurred me on with recent successes in their lives and so - after a couple of buttons went on my shorts within the space of a week! - i decided that i needed to lose a bit. i knew i had for ages but was just a bit rubbish.
anyway, i've managed to do this reasonably trouble free. stopped eating carbs as much as is practicable - definitely no bread, pots, pasta.
plus i've packed in tea/coffee which i used to drink tons of - with gallons of milk in.
a bit more exercise - bike riding to be exact.
bob's your uncle...i've gone from 15 2 on the 9th may to 14 dead now. (i'm 5 11, so not too bad, but still obese bmi according to the stats). i'm 42.
hoping to lose another stone at least, but i suspect the easy part has been done, so we'll see.
am quietly quite pleased with myself...able to wear a shirt tucked in with a little more dignity...like i did when i was a young man. ha ha.
anyway, just posting to give hope and inspiration really...i've been meaning to lose weight for at least five years, and now that i've made the mental shift, it's really not so bad not eating all the time like i used to!
loads of fruit, veg...and still have a few drinks/curry every now and again too.
hope this encourages anyone who might read.
good luck everyone
