I ate a hell of a lot of toast over the winter with butter. Then I paid the price! I have been healthy eating and eating about 300-500 calories less than my rec.intake for the last five weeks and have lost a stone.
Now I feel a bit thinner which is great but realise I have another stone to 1.5 stone to lose looks like harder work !
I am on salads/ low cal deli stuff/ soup/ chicken/ salmon .
I am swimming when I get chance which is not often enough!
Anyone else on a similar regime want to join in to keep us all going together?

I am starting to lose and have dropped below the plateau I was stuck at. I am eating more protein, not buying chocolate and biscuits and getting more active and have reduced the carbs. It seems to be working. I just need to stay committed.
Keep on keeping on everyone!

After 8 days of cutting out snacks, eating 1000 calories a day and doing the 30 day shred every day (sometimes twice a day) I expected to stand on the scales and see a huge drop in weight.

The first few days saw a 3lb drop and since then I've stuck at the same weight....for 5 whole, infuriating days!! Instead of crying, "this isn't working! I'm buying a multi pack of Mars bars!" I tried on some clothes that were too tight to wear. Amazingly, a shirt, a dress and two different styles of coat button up and look almost good enough to wear! So, although it's only a 3lb loss, from doing the 30 day shred (and possibly making me a bit leaner?) it seems more like a 10lb loss.

It's encouraged me to stick at it. Mentally, I'd prefer a drop on the scales, but if I know the smaller sizes are almost within wearing reach, I'll take that instead.

Keep it up guys! Summer is almost here, and it's always good to feel a few pounds lighter in the sun.

That's inspiring!
Can I join?
I'm going on holiday in 2 months so would love to lose 1.5 stones by then.
I lose weight when I skip breakfast. The problem is I love breakfast. Especially toast.
But I think it just gets my appetite going so I overeat for the rest of the day. Not eating breakfast gives me more control.
Im starting today so I'll wait until 12 to have lunch, snack mid afternoon then dinner.
