I am starting my diet on the 7th Jan 08

[charleyfarley]

I'm with you and the others Angel

Desparately need to lose a couple of stone.

Have so many things going on this year that I need to be SLIM (MER) for.

My downfall is picking and not eating properly especially when I'm on the forum.

Then when I'm munching I get thirsty so I get the wine out.

So I will start 1st Jan, new year, new start.

I have actually weighed myself today and I've LOST weight, only 2 lb but it's a start.

OMG that means I actually eat and drink more when it's not xmas

I aim to be good and stick to it this time.

Hopefully we can all help each other and egg one another on

I'll put my name down for this too. I am trying to be good (ish ) at the moment but the house is full of C*** to eat a the mo so am picking at things but I am realising I am doing it and then stopping myself from binging! Everything in moderation... Isn't it boring though lol.

I am feeling really motivated for January though!

Do you remember the old forum and the thread that Angel said about that thing yo udo when you are bigger and its boiling hot and someone asks you why you have your coat on and you lie and say ' im a bit cold' despite the fact that its 27 degrees and you are actually baking but you dont wanna take your coat off to reveal the bumps its hiding!!!!

I am not doing that this summer NO WAY!!

I want to lose 3 stone to Nat,

I want to have done it by June 1st.

Im also considering joining the gym but I need to be driving first so I can get there in the short amounts of free time I get.

How does everyone feel about this......

Obviously our last attempts didnt work too well for everyone.

What about if we all tried a different diet??

I've actually been considering the atkins..... I hated it last time but it did work, I just had to stop it because of how awful I was feeling on it. But might try it again.

There is loads to chose from, might make it a bit more intersesting if we all picked a diet and did a weekly update of weight loss, how we are feeling etc... we dont have to all have a different diet, you pick the one you like.

I know aswell some would just rather do healthy eating but I do find the bad things are easier to slip in when you arent following some sort of guidance.

Just a thought ladies.

What do you all think?


Diets:

Slimming world
Weight Watchers
Atkins
Rosmary Connely
GI
Cabbage soup ( )
1000 Calorie

or anymore you can think of

[manjay]

Wow, what an incentive Sue! Where are you going?

Amanda xx

[nannysue]

A 7 day boat trip around the Med apparently. So warm weather means more flesh on show!!! Sue x

[angeldelight]

That sounds lovely Sue lucky you!


Angel xx

[Lou]

sounds lovely lucky you!!!

i also have the incentive of a hol on 7th july to turkey, it will be about 40 degrees or something then so lots of flesh out.

oh and susan and her family are meeting up with us as they will be there also, and she is a skinny minnie so added pressure lol

Lou x

[angeldelight]

No Lou

Susan prefers us to say she is "slim and lovely " she hates being called skinny and feels how we do but in a different way if you know what I mean

You are going to do so well Lou that we will be calling you a skinny minnie instead haha

Angel xxx

[Lou]

Oh im sorry, i really didnt mean it offensively, of course she is slim and lovely, i just wish i was too!!!

[angeldelight]

I know you meant no harm but I said it once and got told off ha

You are lovely too Lou and I bet you are not as fat as you think

Angel xx

[carolinel]

I like your idea Lana. I'll be doing slimming world again!

I've been on a med cruise and it was fab, I'd love to do it again but don't think the children would enjoy it, and we certainly wouldn't with 2 kids in tow!! We did a lot of sightseeing.

[Lou]

i only meant in a complimentary way, but i know what you are saying Angel.

I feel like an elephant, but its all about how you feel isnt it, i think i will feel better when i get going on it and am motivated.

I am going to follow weight watchers plan, ie so many points a day, but not go to meetings unless i am not sucseeding as its really expensive now.
I will also be taking up "running"again.

Everytime i feel weak, i will just think about my hols, and hopefully meeting you guys some time soon.

i am starting on the 5th ( sharnas 3rd birthday ) got to lose this weight before i get wed omg it is only 6 month xxxx

[Tily Bud]

Hi

I will probably do the weight watchers no count - i lost 2 stone on it a couple of years back really easily. Too be honest i think what really helped was writing it down it really made me think about what i was eating

My sister bought me a set of the diet plate recently i dont know if anyone has used it or heard of it. It is a plate split into sections according to what food group you are eating x she also got me the dish too. We were really lucky the set usually costs around 40 pounds but the inventor was on my sisters ward in hospital and she told all the nurses about it then sold then sets at 10 pounds a set

Im sure it will really help being able to log on here and chat to other dieters whenever i like

I'm up for this as well - house is full of chocs atm - all calling me (yes they are!) to eat them up, which is daft as I want to lose not gain weight.

Hubby who is as thin as rake says he will take them to work for me!

So, what's the best diet to try - willpower non existent.
