Go to London/UK for a month. We all lost weight (2 aussie mates who came with us included) , thats a first for a holiday.

I think it was to do with ditching "Life in a car" and actually walking so much. Lack of junk food played a bit part for aussie male friend, he dropped almost a stone!

Odd thing for me was here I exercise everyday, there I did nothing except rush around trying to fit it all in and still lost weight. Plus according to my husband everytime he looked at me I had a bar of chocholate in my gob, declaring I was saving money at 35P V $1.60 here

Anyway it must show being active instead of moaning its too hot to move must work!

I witness this far too often.

Women (and some men) weigh themselves and go "I am too fat I need a diet"

Then after 4 weeks (thats good going for most dieters) of being grumpy it all goes to smoke because the diet is unsustainable.

Why do you care if you weigh less for a short while when in 2 months it is going to be back.

If you want to feel better about yourselves exercise is the best thing. Not only does it tone you, the body feels better and I find I want to eat better food.

The hardest part of it is starting a sustainable routine.

Rules read and understood PP


Bondipom, I agree to some degree and dont think faddy diets work longterm. I attend a gym 3/4 times per week, but when you've gained 10lbs in 3 weeks through pure greediness and you cant get into your clothes action is called for. It wont balance out in a couple of months it'll just creep up and up, beleive me I've tried ignoring it before.

At the risk of being a Bohr, I am 1/1837th the weight of a nucleon and it would take about 1,675,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 nucleons to weigh 1 gram.

Hurrah! Some sense. So right about the exercise.

Seen too many people become obsessed with food, labelled as 'good' or 'bad'. Or I've been 'good' or 'bad' - this fosters more obsession about food.

Food should be enjoyed. Don't blight your life by denying yourself the food you would like to eat. (OK 10 doughnuts in 1 day is never a good idea!)

Read a book a while ago. The main point was that your body needs a certain amount of nutrients to stay healthy and if you eat crap, your body will keep you hungry until you do eat those nutrients. Does make a lot of sense.

So eating, ie veg soup, a wholemeal roll and half an avocado for lunch is miles better than chips and a coke. 300 cals of nuts will fill you up for longer than a mars bar etc etc.

I reckon the best diet is the 80/20. Eat 'well' 80% of the time and
bring on the cheesecake/chocolate/crisps/coke for the other 20%, exercise 4 times a week and you won't go wrong.

Hi All,

I sure most of you already know this "Diets Don't Work" With many years of fitness training and instruction under my belt(including instructing Rosemary Conley classes), I have seen hundreds, if not thousands of attempts to lose weight. Very few success stories have been down to dieting - certainly not long term.

If the body senses a significant reduction in calories the body's survival instinct kicks in and recognises that this could be the start of a famine. The body will then start to store fat to enable it to survive the forthcoming lack of food.

I know this is not an exact science, and theories change every few months, but a proven system for losing weight is not to diet but to eat healthily, everything in moderation and increase activity/exercise.

If anyone requires any further advice then feel free to PM me.

Happy New Year

Colin
