going on my hols in 7weeks and i have been off and on dietingfor the past 6 weeks, losing half a stine putting back on etc.
well enough is enough.....
i am HUGE and really down about it....
i would love to lose as much as poss in the 7 weeks but have very little willpower.
my bmi is about 30-31, and apparently my "ideal" weight should be 8-9 stone....
but i would be happy at 10 half-11 stone....i start different diets conatantly
1 week its slimming world,then next i calorie count
really want someone to kick me up the arse!

Oh, Ha! Ha! Maybe thats why it goes wrong for me LOL

GypsyMoth · 01/04/2010 14:53

weighed myself this morning....another pound off. so very pleased!

was looking at some low carb websites last night,trying to expand on my current menu.

one said white wine is low carb and ok,so might get some for the weekend,as i wont be indulging in any chocolate...i just dont fancy any!!

travellingwilbury · 01/04/2010 14:59

Still going strong here , I have lost 11 pounds in 10 days

I am not feeling hungry at all on this but I am getting a bit bored with the breakfasts .
There are only so many things you can do with eggs .

simmo39 · 01/04/2010 16:51

TBB - well done! 2 small squares of dark chocolate is ok as I can have that on my GoLower diet.

Travellingwillbury - Wow!!! That is fantastic well done, are your clothes feeling baggy? Why don't you try a nut bar or Granola or soemthing like that for breakfast with some Greek yogurt and a small handle of berries? That is what I often have, although really not keen on the yogurt, but the berries defintely help especially fresh raspberries....

GypsyMoth · 03/04/2010 15:43

i'm tempted to get some dark chocolate then!! as its easter...

Manda25 · 04/04/2010 10:09

Just looking for a little support really ...and any ideas and suggestions. I was 15.5 stone on 19th Nov 2009 and now weight 12.6 (size 12/14) i am 6 foot.

I follow a really boring diet but it works for me because i dont have to think about counting or weighing. Basically i eat fruit for breakfast, 3 rivita and salad for lunch and chicken with either salad or veg for dinner. I do drink about 8 cups of tea a day (no sugar) and 2L of water. I drink a glass of red wine most evenings. I only started exercising two weeks ago.

I have stopped loosing weight over the last week or two - and need to kick start it ...do i have to loose the tea and red wine??

cyb · 04/04/2010 10:16

manda it souds like you are not eating enough and your body is in 'starvation mode' I bet you are ravenous most of the time ?

cyb · 04/04/2010 10:18

esp if you have upped the exercise

could you add an handful of nuts and raisins in as a snack or a couple of oatcakes (I am their offical spokeswoman) and a cube of lovely cheese

GypsyMoth · 04/04/2010 10:20

whats your target??

are you still losing inches even tho scales stay the same? its what i found when i upped my exercise?

Manda25 · 04/04/2010 21:51

Hi

I did feel hungry for the first week or two ...but dont anymore ... i dont even feel hungry till 1pm most days but i hear eating breakfast is good for you so always try and eat a banana and one other fruit at about 10am. I am not sure about inch loss - i will measure myself tomorrow. I would like to get to 11 stone.
I dont think that is too unhealthy??

GypsyMoth · 04/04/2010 21:54

manda....its odd. i'm same height as you,but when i reached 12 stone last time,everyone said i looked too thin!!

i aim for 12 stone again this time,but i will see how i look. and for me,12 stone means size 12...strange how we all difer!

woahthere · 04/04/2010 22:56

uggggggggggh. have eaten so much chocolate today its not even funny. on the scales tomorrow morning...am terrified.

twinkle183 · 05/04/2010 09:56

woahthere Your not the only one that has eaten enough chocolate to match their own body weight.... Got on the scales and in two weeks of not doing anything I have gained 6lbs... so am back to square one...

But using this as fuel to fire and have started a fresh from today....!!! I have 21 weeks to loose 3 stone.. a challenge set by dh! If i don't then I won't get to go to Vegas for my 30th... so good incentive!!! so am going to put pics up everywhere to motivate me to get on with... Exercise isn't really the problem its the food with me!!!

Keep going everyone! Will let you know how I get on in next weeks weigh-in....!!!

Starting weight of 11st 7lbs

woahthere · 05/04/2010 18:28

i didnt dare weigh myself today

simmo39 · 06/04/2010 21:59

Right easter is officially over - bin the left over chocolate - go on do it, all of you immediately!!!! (god I sound so bossy I am even scaring myself!)
Make the kids eat all of theirs tomorrow or melt it all and make corn flake cakes, thats what we always do, much easier to hide in a tin or give to visitors with a cup of tea!
Right that is my rant over..... What is the next commercial chocolate feast to avoid? Can't think of one at the moment, must be Christmas.
Wow twinkle what a great incentive would love to go to Vegas realy hope you get there am sure you will. I still have 3 stone to go so will keep plodding on....!

woahthere · 06/04/2010 23:22

GypsyMoth · 07/04/2010 00:47

simmo39 · 07/04/2010 22:14

Hello! Can I join you please?

At a proper wobbly place in my life - got the body to prove it! Been offered a holiday in Spain (DPs old hippy friend), badly badly need a holiday but.. I, the idea fills me with dread! 3 Stone between me and happiness??? Well would really like to come here and try. Could REALLY use some support!!!

Can't come everyday.

GypsyMoth · 14/04/2010 15:31

hi blossomgirl......are you lowcarbing?

i need to shift 3 stone too....maybe a little more,will see!

simmo39 · 14/04/2010 21:37

Alomst 3 stone left for me to go too, am hoping I can do it in 3 months on GoLower although I will have to start making my own food once I am near my goal weight. That will be a challenge!

woahthere · 17/04/2010 17:48

Hello you all. Well after 2 weeks of absolute piggishness, drinking shed loads, doing no exercise I weighed my self the other day and am now 13.7...yes you read that right, I have managed to put on over half a stone in the space of a few weeks. I am so fed up about it, what a tosser I am. I have been feeling quite low and have beeen sinking lower, eating so much has almost been hard work at times, I dont know why I do it to myself. It was a big shock to weigh myself the other day. Today I have been really good, not had any choc, junk or carbs. On Monday the kids get back to school, I get back to full time work so Im going to just crack back on with the diet. I would like to lose 3 stone, 2 of which by end of July when I go on holiday. Ive got to do this because I disgust even myself now so cant imagine what my partner must feel about me.
Chocolate is everywhere though...how do you bin the kids eggs?! x
