Anyone found a diet that works?

[dabihp]

HELP!!!

Hello! I'm v late but have been trying to be good happy dieter all day. Weighed in at a glorious 14st 7lb! Can't believe I've piled on over three stones in a year!!

EvesMama - I feel shitty too but I keep telling myself that this is the last time I will write down the weight I am.... next time it'll be less. And I mean it! Felt starving loads of times today but just kept drinking water. I've never weed so much in my life!

Went to a meeting yesterday about my diabetes and confessed to everyone that I'm a greedy trog whenever I'm left alone (Basically I become as one with biscuit jar) I got the impression they all thought I was a proper fatso sad case! Won't see them now until 29 Nov by which time there will be a whole lot less of me. If there isn't then I hold you lot responsible! I've got to get a grip.

Hi Girls

well got weighed again and i am in fact the weight a was last night

have no idea how to go about g.i diet, so am just gunna eat less and healthier until i can get to library hopefully this afty.

Don't know much about the GI diet but my friend is doing it in conjunction with ww and getting good results. It works well for her diabetes.
I have just had my porridge with skimmed milk and am going to be good all day.

hmm.heard that porridge is good on G.I...going shopping this afty so if anyone has any advice on what i 'should' be eating..i can go and stock up

GI is *excellent, both for weight loss and as well as being exceptionaly healty, full of fruits and veg and complex carbohydrates, low fat. There is a thread in it if you want more info.

I went on it and lost loads, fell off it, put the weight back on with myself!

I'm back on it this week and have lost 3 pound in as many days

welcome to compo, fishie nopearls and evesbigfatmama im realy happy you have joined are gang so we are all in it togther now and i know we can do it !!!!! xx

right, i've ordered a gi cookbook - can share recipes then, very fond of lentils etc so should be good. dp has day off, so going for a swim while he and baby wait in carpark (am bfing). then supermarket and try not to buy anything naughty.

OOH, DO SHARE RECIP[ES, I STARTED A RECIPE THREAD TO GO ALONG WITH THIS.. iT IS SOOO COMFORTING TO KNOW THAT OTHER PPL ARE GOING THROUGH THIS TO, ITS SO BLOODY HARD! ooops just realised have caps on, cant be bothered to retype.. does typing burn calories...????

hi dabihp if typing burns calories i have done my workout today.where is your thread?

Can I have a star? I've just said no to a toffee muffin covered in icing...

Hi Everyone..
had an okay day..still no idea about g.i eating, so just ate less..not exceptionally good..but less
ordered a g.i book from library..told girl it was a matter of urgency..she could see why
and bought wholeweat pasta, ryvitas and everything 'no fat'! at tesco's
and dya no what..i havent felt hungry(like i said..havent been a n angel, but a pleased with the fact i havent gorged myself all day)

Was going to be so good today but took kids out for picnic and ate their chocolate brownies! Now having v. low point supper.

not a good day here - started off well with cereal and fruit, but then had cheese and coleslaw sarnie for lunch followed by huge piece of carrot cake. Then curry for tea followed by more cake and sweets, and 2 cans of cider

Well done EvesMama - sounds like you've had the best day

not done too badly on the food - mackerel for din, v healthy, teeny lunch with fruit, but weighed self on baby clinic scales (don't own any too depressing) and was more than i thought, 94kilos / 207lb. so am set back before i'd even started never mind, have bought some lovely low fat things. is smoked salmon good or bad?

I am fat, i cannot lie
i need to push myself to try
to eat the foods my body needs
if i really want to succeed

my bum it wobbles as i walk
my many chins jiggle as i talk

my chubby fingers mashing this board
all because of my chocolate hoard

my belly rests upon my thighs
yes i know the reason why

but how do i stop it, do you know?
if i wish really hard, will my fat up and go?

unfortunatly not, i hear you say
but surely there must be an easier way?

im only 28, but i feel so old
with my bingo wings and my extra rolls

my joints are aching under the strain
so why cant i get through to my brain?

im really a slim girl with energy abound
not a big fat lump, waddling round

i want to wear some trendy clothes
not shop where the old ladies go

so this time i need to do it right
im sick of my clothes feeling so tight

out gos the choccy and savories too
in comes Ms McKeith to check my poo

replacing fat with fruit thats good
and start to do now what i always should

i am fat, i cannot lie
but this time..im going to try!

Brilliant!

ha! ebfm that is FAB

i just had a moment of poetic abandon..not a good one but neverthe less
and had to lift my gut of my legs, so thought id share it..not my gut...although..hmmm...ive got plenty spare if anyone wants some

That was fab hun but i can't help feeling that you are beeing to hard on yourself!!!
Nows the time to embrace the inter you and forget about the shell,cos you will be a thin sexy babe in no time,i know you will do it this time
As for me im not finding the diet to bad but i have come to relise that i am an alcholic i can't give it up so i realise that this might serously hinder my weight loss so i must try harder

hows everyone doing today?

hi not too bad ,yesterday was good today went to kfc,tonight i,m going to have some wine!!going to asda after football so i,m going to get some slimfast,just doing it for 3 days.going to stock up on fruit & veg .hows everyone else?

not too bad here. took sandwiches to the woods, had a bit of muffin rather than whole thing. don't 'feel' any thinner tho ifywim. i think lack of exercise and low activity levels generally a big problem for me, but difficult when spending most of day on sofa wth baby.

hi fishie are you following a diet or like me just cutting down?

oops sorry edgetop, bathtime. i am trying to eat less and reduce fat intake. i might have to be more drastic though. misery and inability to eat is the only thing which has ever shifted any weight before, but (sadly for my waist) i am perfectly happy
