Hi everyone. Just wanted to share my success.

I am (very) fast approaching 40 and am overweight. I am 5ft 7, and on Monday 8th May (always a Monday), when I started this diet, I weighed a whopping 15st 7lbs.

Weighed myself this morning, and I'm still a whopping 13st 5lbs.

I'VE LOST 30 POUNDS!!!!!!!!!

It's my birthday first week in August and I plan to be in the 12 bracket by then.

This is the best 'diet' I have ever done. Never felt hungry, recipes are so delicious. You can eat full fat ingredients.

I was an advocate of Slimming World before, but this diet makes so much more sense to me than SW. Its been a change for life.

Anyone thinking of doing it, I would urge you to just go for it. What have you got to lose, except weight.

I am not on commission Grin

Wheres Do it!! I picked a time when I knew nothing major was happening, plus as I said, I am nearly 40 and was determined not to be a complete hefer.

I was a size 18 and I am now (at a squeeze) fitting in to my very old size 14s!!!

I nearly cried the other day when I put them on a fastened up the button. It's an amazing feeling.

I currently weigh 15 stone 2lbs. Ish. I really want to do it but am out for dinner tonight and have loads of things coming up. Argh. I don't think I'm making excuses but I don't know how it would work.

Major events include: dinner out on 13th July, boozy family weekend with in laws 14-16th July (Christmas equivalent so no way of opting out really), camping 2nd week in August, two nights with family 3rd week in August.

I started last Monday and have lost 8lb in the first week. Feel amazing. Could weep with relief.

I have the book, am just trying to get motivation.

This helps!

Wheresthattomoibabber · 24/07/2017 19:33

I had tried to do it before but didn't manage - I realise now due to self sabotage. I'm happy to answer any questions you have and can point you to some good online support.

Do! It! Do! It! Do! It!
