A stone in 6 weeks!

[SingingLark]

Whats the best diet for this? I need to follow a diet because I have low self control at the moment and need to be TOLD what to do
I need to lose more than a stone but its a good place to start.
If anyone wants to join me I would love some support.

I have just finished my 6th week at Weight Watchers and have lost exactly 15.5lb.

Its a great diet that will work, but only if you stick to th epoints plan that you get

agree with sugarrations. It definately does work, but you MUST point everything. A stone in six weeks is definately not unrealistic on WW

I had my six week weigh in with WW last night and I have lost 15 and a half pounds and the half was for the last two weeks so it is possible! You do have to stick to the points though.

Well done! You must be thrilled
I would rather avoid the club route if possible. It would cost over £20 a month, I think which I can't be spending at the moment.
I don't mind buying a book or if anyone knows any sites which have a diet for a week or so.

OMG, that is the same as you, suggerations. Are you me?

I think you have to have a LOT of resolve to do it without going to the meetings. There's something about the week working towards the weigh-in that kept me motivated.

I know Slimming World has a site where you can get a free week menu from. I would imagine WW has it too.

here's the link for SW

It is do-able to lose a stone in 6 weeks but you have to stick to it and exercising every day will also help!

Good luck

Thanks for the link. Just had a look. There's so much food there!

You can eat loads and it does really work! I have lost 19lbs since November (and I haven't been doing it properly every week ) I can only dream of how much I should have lost if I had done it properly

Well done guadalupe

I don't think I could do it without the weekly weigh in. Its a real motivator, having to pay to be told you are/are not a lardy arse each week

Yes, though we got weighed last night, skipped the meeting and went out for dinner.

Well, they were only going to tell us how to avoid an easter binge anyway!

I go on holiday on Saturday - All Inclusive!!!! Will definately stay this week for my meeting, I need to keep focused!!!

Good luck singinglark whatever you choose

My sister is trying golower.com - the 28 day quick result programme. Supposed to lose a stone or up to 2 dress sizes. They provide all the food, delivered to you so there's nothing to think about. She's been on it a week and lost about 5 pounds already. Her starting point is quite high though so I think the first stone would drop off fairly quickly. She's very happy with it at the moment - the novelty is keeping her going. She was starving for the first 3 days, now doesn't feel hungry at all. It's expensive though. She is doing it in the hope that a quick result will give her a kick start to then lose the rest steadily, following a similar pattern of eating/meals that golower used but doing it herself.

bumping to see if anyone else can advise

Atkins would lose you that in 6 weeks, easy. I lost a stone in about 2.5 weeks but it does go back on when you start to eat carbs again.

I found this
www.feelingok.co.uk/diet03.asp

I think it looks very straightforward and easily doable.

I shall start tomorrow

I am also going back to the gym after a 3 week break (and a gain of 5lbs )

Day 1 today.

I've had a breakfast of toast and scrambled egg and feel very full.
I've got lots of chores today that involve being out a lot so hopefully, that'll stop me eatingal day long! Its always a struggle when you're at home. All those teas and biscuits, toast and cake.

I'm going to start brisk walking/running in the park in the evenings.

You can do Lighter Life Lite - but only if your BMI is between 25 and 30 ( 1 stone - 3 stone in total to lose).

Its a 4 week programme with some meal replacement, some high protein low carb meals, and weekly meetings.

Whilst they can't give you a cast iron gaurentee they aim for 1 stone in 4 weeks.

I've nearing the end of the full Lighter Life programme and I;ve lost 7.5 stone in 8 months.

Wow! Thats one major transformation! You must be so happy with your achievement.

I have a maximum of 2 stone to lose. I would be happy at a stone. I don't think a meal replacement programme is for me as I wouldn't be able to keep it up. Well done to you though!

Just reading this thread as i am also looking for a way out of awful bingeing/compulsive eating weight-gain. I followed the links to Golower and Feeling Ok to see what they were about and hopefully find my quick fix. I see that they both advocate (or at least approve of) low carb, ketogenic diets. I also looked up ketosis on the NHS website at this link: www.nhs.uk/Conditions/Ketosis/Pages/Definition.aspx
I thought i should post this bc it really does sound like a bad route to go down and in particular bc it warns against going into ketosis if you are pregnant.

Please don't think i am being holier-than-thou (and pretty please don't flame me): I am a serial-offender having done South Beach loads of times. But i don't think i'll do it again...
