I was doing fine today until one of our left over mince pies with cream under its lid jumped into my mouth and begged to be eaten.....:( :(
I tried spitting it out honest, but it clung to the roof of my mouth..:rolleyes: |
Has anybody tried that Atkins diet? I feel a meat frenzy commin on. A real bacon ham beef chicken duck goat dog smorgasboard.
Anythin animal counts. |
Tried the Atkins (I've tried em all!) I could only stick it for 2 weeks but lost 9lb, the bonus is that after all that protein and fatty food all you fancy afterwards is salad and veg!
Have given up these extreme diets now for some time though, concerned about conflicting reports about effects on health and also beleive that the diets which forbid certain foods encourage obsessional eating patterns. |
Because i am diabetic, i am tryng to stick to the Glycemic Index diet. It was originally developed for diabetics but now they reckon its great for everyone.

PP make yourself small acheivable goals of about ten pounds at a time. This amount you know you can do even if it takes twelve weeks plus. Once you have managed one lot of ten pounds get hubby to take you the earl for dinner (just the one dinner as a reward) then work towards the next ten pounds. Breaking weight loss in to managable and realistic amounts is alot easier than looking at a larger amount. Would be more than happy to give you moral support. Wont be adelaide until sept/oct so here will have to do, you can even PM if you would like. Sarah |
Thanx Sarah..
you're another one i shall be buying a drink when they arrive...i'll be broke at this rate...LOL :D |
PP, I'm fired up and ready to go, my target is half a stone by the time I leave for Oz (6 weeks) fairly modest but I'm not prepared to forgo leaving do's etc so trying to be realistic.
I've booked into 3 classes at my gym this week and will swim at the pool there too. Good luck with the swimming, Michaela |

Good for you Michaela... i thought this thread was just gonna be our weigh in notes and experiences, but its turned into a really interesting discussion!!
Funny you mentioned my meds Sarah..i been wondering about that. As i am not a resident in Oz yet, i have been trying ot put off going to docs as its expensive. I'll keep a check on it though. Once my 4mth supply of meds runs out i'll have to go to doc anyway, so i'll ask them then. |
Originally posted by colinmorgan 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. ...have just been to the supermarket - all I could see was piles of slimfast! I have spent £60 on vegetables fruit and pieces of edible cardboard. So starting tommorrow I will be back on the exercise regime and dettox. I am trying to eat veg, fruit, and brown (yuk) rice for 2 weeks to give my body a kickstart so I have loads of lovely soup recipes if anyones interested! After this dettox I will TRY to eat sensibly and not fall off the waggon with the daily exercise! The trouble is Nigellas' recipes are just too good! Anyway just had a lovely sensible healthy chicken & rice lunch - I am gearing myself up for tommorrow and actually the crispbread taste quite nice! Is 20 minutes exercise on an eclipticle trainer enough per day? - I am running around after 2 little ones all day too so it's all I can fit in really. Max :) If anyone requires any further advice then feel free to PM me. Happy New Year Colin |
