The more I try to diet the more weight I gain :(

[MyBoyLovesBeans]

its really getting to me. I just dont know how to lose weight. I need to lose 3 stone but it just seems like an impossible task. I waant to be slim at the moment Im vile! COvered in stretch marks and have lumps and rolls of fat all over my body.

you need a kick start!!

once you see a tiny difference that might spur you on?

try low carbing....some exercise....a few pounds off and you'll feel motivated...start now,i re started yesterday

just to recap what are carbs? potatoes, bread, pasta etc? what do you replace them with as they kinda make up quite a large proportion of my diet.

Low carbing is a great way to kickstart weightloss. I lost 7lbs in the first week of doing it.

You have to replace your carbs with protein. So for instance instead of cereals for breakfast, have an omellette. Instead of chips, have salad.

It is difficult if you're used to lots of carbs (as I was) but honestly, I guarantee you will lose weight if you do it.

its easy once you get going....an MN poster 'custardo' has a blog with some good stuff on it.

mashed cauliflower instead of potato
lts of meat
eggs
salad
cream not milk
cheese

ooh I didn't know custardo had a blog on this - where is it?

OP I am a recent devotee of low carbing and have lost 17lbs in a couple of months. previously I was a failed dieter who would go on a diet, be miserable, lose a few pounds, stop losing weight after 3 weeks then fall of the wagon and end up fatter than ever.

she had something on her profile which she directed me to when i started low carbing!!

will look, thanks
