I've always been fairly slim but my weight has a tendancy to creep up towards overweight if I'm not careful, and more so as I get older. I've done diets before, and yes they work, but they are not sustainable and so the weight comes back eventually.
I really want to make sustainable changes that means I can maintain a healthy weight as I get older, so i've been trying to cut down portion sizes and snacking, but not banning any particular foods. I devised a system for myself (I've tried my fitness pal etc and find it to laborious to enter everything so knew I wouldn't keep it up) of smiley faces, so every night I give myself a happy, unhappy or in the middle face depending on how well I think I've eaten. I lost 2lbs in 3 weeks, which in a very small amount but at least I was going in the right direction.
But the last couple of weeks I've lapsed a bit and havn't lost any more.
Would anyone like to join me in doing this and see if we can at least lose a 1lb or 2 each week? Perhaps we can also share some tips!
