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

I have never been bothered with diets, i like choc to much but it doesnt mean i dont need to. The best exercise to move weight and just eat normally with smaller portions is BOXFIT and walk more (escpecially up hill) i hate walking and i live in the lakes but the weight just falls off and stays off, just try that before you spend money on diet clubs give it one month and if it doesnt work them go.Not being bossy just thought it might help.

Well ladies i may be joining you if I can get the motivation... will aim for the 7th. I think i'm going to cut out all crap and eat set meals (healthy ) I joined a gym but only went for 3 months so won't bother with that just do more walking and use the Wii lol the boxing on that is fun and tiring lol xxx

**charleyfarley** · 31-12-2007, 09:21 AM

Today is my last day of eating rubbish

I start diet tomorrow and need to lose a stone by the 19 Jan, do you think that's possible?

I'll worry about the other 2 stone afterwards.

Good luck to everyone

Lucky devil going on a cruise

Good luck Carol I am starting next week

Do not aim to high though just be happy to lose weight every week

A stone the first month is ok but after that expect it to slow down

Good luck

Im going to do some research into the atkins again and then think i'll do that.

Sue - what more motivation could you ask for than a Cruise!!! How wonderful!!

Im looking forward to getting started, I will join you all on the 7th!!

**Minnie Minx** · 31-12-2007, 11:17 AM

Lana don't do the atkins it's horrid. Try the Dax Moy diet www.daxmoy-pts.co.uk/9daylgn.htm and here's a huge thread about it from ***** http://www.*****.com/coffeehouse/s...ad.php?t=61122

LouM did it and lost a lot of weight

**oakie dokie** · 31-12-2007, 06:31 PM

count me in, i have been saying " i cannot be forty and fat" im 42 now and still fat. i have no choice about the 40 but i do about being fat. its the hardest thing i have ever had to do.

**angeldelight** · 31-12-2007, 06:37 PM

I know just what you mean Hazel

Every time I diet I have a " reason" its never enough to make me stick to it for good though

Good luck to us all

**carolinel** · 31-12-2007, 06:37 PM

I cannot believe how much weight I have put on these last couple of months. I swear it must be about 2 stone.

I don't know whether to rejoin sw on the 3rd Jan (still lots of nice foods around) or 10th.

I feel so uncomfortable, and wish it was a pyjama party i was going to tonight!!

**angeldelight** · 31-12-2007, 06:39 PM

Caroline I know what you mean and i am sorry if you think you are overweight because I do think you looked fine when we met - i would be more than happy if I looked the way you did and I MEAN IT

We have lots of goodies left too that is why i am starting a week today

Enjoy yourself later Caroline and remember you look lovely

**manjay** · 31-12-2007, 10:53 PM

I am going to start next week as I cannot face doing a proper food shop while the shops are so busy. My body is telling me it needs to start tomorrow as i feel so bloated for all the rich food but it will have to wait!!

I am going to aim for 1 1/2 - 2 stone but try not to put as much pressure on myself as I usually do. I would like to look half way decent for a beach holiday in July and then really decent for a nice exotic holiday next feb so I reckon that is quite doable (is that a word?)

Good luck with the hospital appointment.

As you are being weighed anyway you could start now.
