[Alambil]

Come and have a gander - I started it today

The Other Half of Me

Lewis....good luck with your weight loss....I'm doing exactly the same - I've done it before...I can't do it again! xx

yes you can !

I'm on a mission too, i'm not stopping until i do it this time though! I've gone from 13.13 and I'm now 11.12 it's taken me a long time because i keep stopping and starting again, this time i'm not stopping until i get to 9.7!

I shall be tempted to pop in and check because I am also dieting atm!

Lewis.....I'm a derrrrrr brain....I should've typed 'I can do it again'!!!!!

oh! that makes more sense lol

Well, I'll be updating my blog every day or so... hopefully it will inspire others to stick on the straight and narrow too

Lewis - are you keeping a diary of what you eat during a normal day? I started doing one yesterday. When I look at what I've eaten it really isn't very much. Today, for example - Bran flakes with skimmed milk for breakfast, cuppa soup with crackers for lunch and a banana, and for tea I had a plate of steamed veg with one organic pork & apple sausage with a yoghurt for tea. Later on I'll have another banana and an orange.

When I lost loads of weight before I didn't restrict my fruit and veg - I ate as much as I wanted. My biggest downfall has always been bread and cheese - I love both, especially freshly baked warm bread.

You've lost two stone already Lewis - that's brilliant - well done. xx

Just read your blog Lewis.....its very good! x

love your blog.

good luck.

i could also do with loosing some weight - now i am cracking the non-smoking, getting fit again is next.

i wont be doing a food diary - i know it doesnt work for me - but will be exercising alot more -which is my 'good' trigger.......then food follows.

good luck, im starting my get fit regime next week.

I've never done a food diary before - I lost 9 stone just before I met my dh and didn't do a diary then. I just thought I'd try doing one this time because it makes me realise just how well I'm eating and how good I'm trying to be! I can't wait to lose the weight this time round - it couldn't happen quick enough for me.

whispy, yes I've been keeping a diary - it is handy for the weeks you don't lose so much to look back and copy a good week.

It sounds to me as though you need to eat more (I know you are busy though) - you can have meat the size and thickness of the palm of your hand - you could have had 2 sausages and it wouldn't matter.

Cutting down on bread and cheese is good though - loads of veg, not too much fruit in evenings but can have some during day (it is a carb - well, some is, so it won't be burned off over night.. just remember that)

Sorry to get all bossy... !

Hi Lewis...& thanks!

I don't tend to eat too much during the evenings because I find it keeps me awake during the night - although if I do get hungry I will just eat some fruit but not too much.

It's weird actually. Since being on this diet I've not been anywhere near as hungry as I thought I'd be. I drink a lot more water which probably helps.

One of the main reasons why I keep a diary is so I can see what I've eaten during a normal day but also I know if I eat something I have to write it in the diary and I won't want to write 'biscuit', 'cake'...etc etc so its a good form of discipline....'don't eat it - won't have to write it in!'...iyswim!

Hows things going for you? I think you've done extremely well so far.....

With me its all down to discipline and determination and I know I have to lose it and I will.

Lewis, just thought....how about I link to yours and you link to mine?

That is a good idea Hecate I have left my link on your "I once had a blog" thread (and am in awe at yours; it is spectacular)
