I need to loose weight, I am a fat git.

Well if you promise not to tell everyone I'll join you Crusher.

I was thinking of starting a similar thread, but was a bit nervous of doing so, because I'm so likely to fail. On my last diet I lost 5 pounds in a year, so seems almost pointless trying. This was despite the doctor giving me 2 different types of diet pills, very carefully monitored for side effects, and seeing a nutritionist. I have an underactive thyroid which is the main problem. Also problem feet make exercise difficult. I can do swimming but time and money mean I can't afford to go often.

Still, my niece is getting married in July so it would be nice if I wasn't a fat blimp ruining the photos.

Bought new scales the other day, and an ab cruncher, I'm pretty sure the scales are wrong though cos I surely can't weigh that much!

I've done my bit to help, you're already lost an "o".

[HSBCrusher]

the secret so my doctor says is to lose just a pound or just half a pound a week, and increase exercise. But not to try anything that you cant keep up. I was doing OK, but I damaged my ankle and put pay to my daily walk. I am now ok of course, but I let things slip.
So, it it time to start again, and keep it up.
fad/atkins/whatever diets dont work, you always put on the weight again. losing 1/2 lb with 3 walks a week, that will work I think.

A friend of mine has lost 3 stone all he did was drink water ugh and cut his food intake down buy a third i havnt tried the water only yet but have not had a drink untill tonight since Newyears eve and tonight was onli a thimble cut my food down by no puddings so i will see what happens and am taking the dog for long walks

[caro]

My daughter and I are just eating more healthily, and cutting out junk but I agree that exercise is the key. I'm cutting out drinking at home too, although I had to meet the builder in his "office" at the pub last night so I just had the one glass of red to be sociable.


And drinking water definitely helps Bona. Clears the toxins out of your body, and helps prevent hunger pangs, as well as making your skin look great.

evry one who wants to loose weight should say each week what they have lost thats an incentive surley

First thing to do is to set some realistic goals and support this with a plan of action, try to get people around you to help on the motivational front.

Basically eat less high fat foods and exercise more. Radical change is very difficult but if you try to cut out certain "treats" and replace them with say a banana it is the first step. For example we have a pasty at morning break, so that's 5 a week, 25 a month. I cut them out, had an apple and banana and included a 15 min lunchtime walk and really noticed the difference.

Once the behavior is established it becomes easier and especially if you have your other half in support. You can then build up further, instead of an Indian takeaway (with loads of gee) we cook our own with fresh ingredients and vege oil, take the dog for more walks etc. All the small things add up and your diet and increased activity makes you want to push it further.

Set realistic goals and write down each day what you want to achieve and review it daily/weekly. Sounds dull but it helps.

Hope that is useful. I am trying to lose another stone. I did not drink over Xmas and New Year, the first I can ever remember and I enjoyed it.

good.
this is my plan... in fact I have been taking a one litre bottle of water to work and drinking that instead of tea and coffee for a few months now. I dont look for the coffee or tea now.
healthy food.
porridge for breakfast (measured out of course)
no junk food.
and its time to start my walking again.

Well done, great start.........

Keep us posted as to how its going.

[tonycee]

Derr. Duplicated.

[tonycee]

84 kilos @ 6 feet tall..

How much is that in English money ?.

Volvic do a fantastic flavoured water called, a touch of fruit. I drink a litre everyday. Trouble is i have to keep going for a pee.

[caro]

If I lose anything I'll post how much, but my weight is a well-kept secret. If I get to 8 stone I'll tell you what it is now.

EDIT Does that make sense?

Try replacing that with a different water, which doesn't contain sugar, it will help (not with peeing, with the weight!!! ).

Crusher darling, if you persist on putting fad and Atkins in the same sentence, you and I are going to have words.

[pinkduchess]

perfect sense (in reply to caro)
