im going for the healthier lifestyle approach as i have quite a bit to lose and its hard to stick to faddy diets. im having 3 meals a day without snacking and also doing swimming and walking as my exercise, no gym or dvd's etc.

Anyone care to join me?

bozza, I think it was a temporary blip. I was very good yesterday, walked for miles with dd and the dog, and managed to limiting my snacking to three gingernut biscuits with my cup of tea...

sorry lmg. Rovska glad to hear you are back on track. I am struggling atm with finding the time to exercise which I really need to do. I like food, I am not on a diet, although I am trying to eat healthily and sensibly, and fairly low fat so I really need to exercise to burn up the calories.

I've lost 9lb now so im 11.1, feeling very proud when i look back at how far i've come - ok so its taken a while but that just means ill keep it off forever!

I'm going offline for a few weeks now so i'll update this again when i get back online. Hopefully i'll be under 11 stone when i come back and will then only have a stone to lose to get my target!

I'm going to carry on for as long as i can and if i get to 10 fab but if i can get to 9.7 i'll be ecstatic!

Just thought i'd read through my old thread to see how far i have come.

To update I ended up not losing more weight in 2007 (due to moving house and losing motivation) infact in december I put so much weight on I went up to 12 stone this kicked me into gear and I joined WW on the 25th Jan 2008 now I'm proud to say on the scales this morning I was 9 stone 8 lbs which goes to show that with enough determination it is possible to reach your goal i'm now aiming to get down to 9 stone as soon as I can and then my next goal is to keep it off so i'm still lovely and thin for my wedding next year!

well done

Just read your thread - it's really inspiring! Well done, you must be really proud of yourself.

But the message is that the No diet approach does not work as well as a diet.
