My S-I-L went on the Lighter life diet basically you don't eat anything at all, just drink milkshake type things until you get down to your weight. She lost over 5 stone and has maintained her weight and lost more since Jan. It is a quick way to do it.

shoul we start a little something here and give ourselves a target anmd keep each other informed and encouraged on how we do??

I would like to lose a stone but need encouraging at the moment/

all of the above but also doctor told me my high blood pressure and high cholesterol is because of my weight - didn't even weigh me first! not because i am in the process of emigrating, know how stressful selling a house is and having a wayward daughter, oh or the fact that both my parents have high bp and high chol!

Rach,
these things can be familial - both my parents have high bp and high cholesterol; they both smoke like chimneys and get through a couple of pounds of lard a week just to fry stuff in!!! managed to get away from cholesterol city when I was 17, so have been without such a ginormously high fat diet for 19 years - nor have I ever smoked, but I still have a slightly raised cholesterol! But it is worrying, and if you are under additional stress ie emigrating, wayward daughter etc, it certainly doesnt help!!

I prescribe a weekend in a health farm....

thanks hun, yep i smoke too! tried to cut down but threatened to murder everyone i knew including our agent!
i've cut out diary products, even my beloved cheese, have skimmed milk only on my cereal, i was drinking 15/20 cups of coffee a day but now drinking lemon or blackcurrant teas. haven't eaten anything that is over a gram of fat since being told have to go back for more blood tests in January so hope its gone down. i'll take you up on that offer of a weekend in a health farm, cheers

rach had high bp before meds, gave up smoking for 6 months went down started smoking again still down health farm sounds a good idea maybe a few of us ought to meet half way and go but remember to smuggle in fags and booze no fun otherwise

I need to lose, well... I'm at my right weight medically but I still feel a bit chubby so I'd like to lose 5 kgs before the end of next month or ideally... 10 - 15 kg.

I need motivation!

Do not just lose weight. Get fit as well then you will feel good about yourself rather than being hungry all the time.
