to ask for your diet secrets/success stories?

Posting here for traffic really. What was your most successful diet? How did you keep the weight off? Thanks for sharing!

Will add that that's totally without exercise, which I just can't do due to health issues.

I lost nearly 1 stone doing the NoS diet last year. It's not really a diet. You just eat 3 meals a day and no snacks or sugar or seconds. Worked for me and stopped my obsessing about food.

I find the group camaraderie at slimming world is what I need. I can follow the healthy eating plan with my DH and DC not seeing any different. We are all healthier I have slowly lost 1st 5 lb since January not been hungry or stopped having a glass of wine.

For me it what I eat and extra steps on the fit bit help but exercise doesn't help me lose weight I just think I can eat more!

But really it's the excitement I feel at the group sharing my loss that really motivates me. I can't do it on my own

Lost 4.5 stone by strict low carbing and counting cals also

Out of curiosity, has anyone here lost weight on a diet and stayed at or close to the new diet for at least five years?

Gah. New weight not new diet.

Exactly what Welsh said. With bells on.

albert I haven't done that because I've had two pregnancies in the last 6 years, but I have used my 'whatever works for me' techniques to lose weight successful after each of my three DCs and keep the weight off until the next pregnancy though. I am very active though (have more or lessalways done some kind of daily exercise like yoga, running, exercise DVD etc, since I was a teenager, and try to build lots of walking into my day), so i am able to go back to eating fairly normally once I've lost weight and the weight stays off, so it's not like I have some magic trick that will work for everyone.

I've finished producing children now (DC3 is 2) and I am hoping that my current weight loss mission is the last one I'll need to go through, bar the odd 5lb gain/loss when I over indulge at Christmas or whatever.

Thanks Hopefully - good luck.

I do slimming world. Although I do, do it differently to most people.

I do the Sp plan which is fairly low carb. No eating lots of pasta, rice etc

And never eat fat free products. If I want yoghurt I have full fat Greek yoghurt. If I am having toast I have butter on it and count it in.

I don't use my 'Syns' for alcohol and chocolate, for the most part, I use them on full fat foods instead.

I do also exercise a lot. I run 5 days a week and do 4 exercise classes.
