Week 3, day 6 (day 20)

Breakfast: special k
Lunch: beans 2x toast
Dinner: beef stir fry & noodles

1 x wine, 2pts beer

Exercise: run up to shops for provisions, 1.5 hour digging, raking, shifting muck etc at the Hill

Quite like the look of your diet Hazel! Beer seems to be an integral part of it?

I'm not daft, Snadge!

A drink a night (1/2 pt) is allowed anyway, and I've jigged the calories in the diet a bit to allow for an extra one (swap 2 x 50cal 'snacks' for 1/2 pt) - makes it there or there abouts.

I seem to have gained 2 lbs in a week ... how? I did have some Doritos y'day but that won't do it. I may have water retention (it''s *that* week)

Mr TS lost 1.5 lb

I'm still off the wagon. Will be back on it from next Saturday. My original aim of losing a couple of stone by the end of March now seems laughable! I was so sure, at the beginning, that I could do it.

GP advises healthy eating, but until my fluid balance is restored (i.e. medication titrated properly) I will find it difficult to lose weight. Not much of an excuse really, will just have to try harder!

Can I join you guys in here?

I jumped on the scales at the weekend & was a little shocked at the display

My daughter & I have decided to do the 5k race for life in June, we start training on Friday and I would much rather we run/jog it without me looking like a sweaty pink hippo.

I have about 2st to loose, do you think I could do that by June?

Would it be ok if I post up my daily diet as I have seen others do? If I have to confess to my sins, it might keep me on track a little more

[Florence Fennel]

Feel free GK, everyone's welcome. Hope it gives you some incentive and well done at deciding to do the Race for Life, you might even get some sponsors on here.

We started dietting in mid October, with a few weeks relaxation over Christmas. OH has lost well over 2 stone, I have lost about 1½ stone. That is with very little extra exercise (almost no extra until the last few weeks when we got Shadow).

Easily (if you are disciplined that is)

Mr TS lost a stone in a fortnight on a Slimfast type diet, then moved onto something more sensible after that.
He's now losing 1-2lb a week, and is on track to lose another stone by 5th June

Week 4, day 1 (day 22)

Breakfast: shreddies
Lunch: 1 x bacon, 1/2 small can beans, 1 toast
Dinner: makeral salad, couscous

Exercise: Ran up to the shops & back, ran to the postbox & back later. Definitely getting easier.

Well done Mr TS! Thats brilliant, if I can loose a couple of lbs a week I think I could just about do it

Jump right on in!

Good for you! I'm afraid that I laughed at the sweaty pink hippo reference!

Definitely - a pound and a half to two pounds a week is quite doable, providing that you don't have the will to do it.

In my case it just shows everyone how boring and unvaried my diet is!

There was a survey some time ago which showed the number of different meals in the average cook's repertoire was about 4 - this made our family laugh and scoff as we all count ourselves as good cooks (if on 'down to earth cooking' side) and obviously produce much more varied a fare! I laugh on the other side of my face, now I can see my food intake...
