Anyone found a diet that works?

[dabihp]

HELP!!!

Eat less, do more. Diets aren't rocket science.

(Its the willpower that's the problem..

hi dabihp
would love to start on the 1st of sept its a date so we can keep in contact over mumsnet how much would you like to loss out of intrest? ive got to loss 2 stone minimum !!!!!!

hi can i join please i need to lose about 5 stone,

Can I join I need to lose a stone too, I have tried everything. I just need suppot and motivation

Right there wiht you ladies again....! Is anyone up for starting tomorrow? I'm a 'srtike while the iron's hot' kinda girl!

Perhaps we could all weigh in at say 12 noon and then weigh the same day each week? What do you think?

I'm up for joining, if that's OK

hi ladys so happy that you all want to join you are all more than welcome of course !!!!!!
i am thinking that the 1st would be better if thats ok with everyone, but i do love the idea of having a day and time ie the morning,aftrenoon when we all weigh are selves. please let me know what you all think as we are in it together now !!!!! xxx

puff - whats the GI diet?

Fine with me, the first it is!

If you need some help in eating less then Weightwatchers "Full Choice" might be worth a try.

Cods link is a good one, my DH and I have lost about a stone each by following our own made up version of the OZ diet. Lots of veg, lean protein every meal and no bread potatoes or cakes!

We do still do the odd bottle of wine but not weekdays and if we go out we eat what we like. We dont feel like we are dieting at all and the weight is slowly falling off

Hi everyone

I'm going to make the most of my last alchol filled weekend before the serious health kick starts hows everone feeling about 1st still up for it

The only thing I have ever found works is to give up alcohol or at least cut down and to be more active.
I hate the gym so for me this means walking instead of using the car and going for bike rides.
I've never really been able to change eating habits. Got a sweet toooth and find it a real drag to go without, so I tend just to cut down and not eat puddings.
Eat slightly smaller portions too!
Having said all that, I lose weight VERY slowly.

my dp left me 2 months ago, and i have lost 2.5 stone!!!! have 3 more to go, i have been eating healthy and respecting my body more, have had lots of salad, and i eat it on a small plate so it looks like more,
and obviously the stress has helped the weight fall off, every cloud has a silver lining!!!!

sanchpanch

sorry to hear that i hope you'r ok join us in are healthy eating thingy if you want we are all staring on the 1st. you have a 2.5 st head start but we will let you of xxx

yeah ok, i guess i do cheat a bit though as i have a slimfast for breakfast, during the times when i couldnt eat anything at all because i couldnt swallow it, my friend suggested i try slimfast as at least i would be getting some vitamins, and i have continued having it for breakie, lunch i have makeral or tuna or chicken with salad and chilli ketchup!!! then tea time i normally have small amount of what girls are having, then in evening ill have a pack of seasons,(crispbread things)

I feel so much better for losing the weight and i know i will get to my goal of 12 stone, cant wait for the satisfaction of saying to my ex look at me now... he has already comented on the weight i have lost!!!!

Sanchpanch - you wait til everyone else starts noticing, that's when DPs/ ex DPs really pay attention cos everyone else is! It'll do your ego the power of good and give him more than a little food for thought! Go girl!

I know i cant wait, i want to be the size i was when we met, i have been getting weighed at work there is a group of us doing it and our weigh day is a thursday morning.....

Cool that ties in really well as thursday is the 1st and thats when we all have the dreaded weigh in
i will be fantastic to start feeling good about myself again,i feel so positive about it this time i'm sure that i can do it and am so glad of the suport that i'v got hear on mn xxxxx

ok ill post my weight on thursday,
At work i have 2 shelves by my desk on them i have stuck small strips of paper that symbolise the pounds i want to lose ( 38 ) then each week i pull down whatever i have lost....

hi everyone i,m almost ready for thursday,looking forward to it really.that,s a good idea sanchpanch the piceces of paper,i think i will fill a jar with pasta & take apiece out each pound i lose.When my ds starts school i am going swimming so that will help.Good luck to everybody taking part.

Hello ladies. I'm new to posting on mumsnet (though have lurked for a while!) and would love to join you. Have been trying to lose weight since having dd3 last year but only started seriously in June. Doing weightwatchers online and have lost 16lbs but I feel the motivation running low and think joining you would be a big help.

hi katef
weightwatcher on line !!?? i didn't know you could do that do you still have to go to meetings and all that ??
so happy that you are joining us well done with your 16 lbs x

No meetings just log your weight each week. The tracker and all sorts of useful stuff is all on the site plus message boards which are useful. I recommend it but do miss having a "gang" to help keep motivation up. Can't get to a class here as would have to take at least 2 kids with me!

how many kids have you got ?
