Re: Dieting
Well done poppycock that is fantastic. So pleased for you. Have you found it easy?We have lost a couple more pounds. The joke was that I bought my husband three pairs of trousers size 48 when they arrived he had lost 2ins so we sent them back and ordered size 46 would you believe that when they arrived they were too big so we are now awaiting size 44.
That is another thing remember to mesure yourself sometimes even if you don't appear to be losing poundage you do lose inches.

Re: Dieting
Well done to you Stablelady
That's a good result. I'm trying to lose weight as well by cutting down on snacks! Didn't realise how much I was eating until I counted the calories in the snacks! Its so easy sometimes to just go to the food cupboard and eat without thinking which I think has also been mentioned here. If I know I am going to be out when its lunchtime I'm making sure I take a sandwich with me to eat in the car to stop me buying snacks! I 've lost 2lbs so far in two weeks, so slowly but surely, better off than on
I know I need to do more exercise and do have an exercise bike and an eliptical trainer, but its getting motivated

Re: Dieting
It sounds like you are in the right frame of mind and you will do it
As for the knitting.... apparently its very trendy now and is the "in" thing How much weight are you planning on losing?Am off to the supermarket shortly and will do my best to steer clear of the treats aisles, so will need a bit of willpower
I find their offers hard to resist, two for the price of one and so on.

Let's get back to encouraging each other.
I am over the moon to hear that you have lost 8lbs. That is fantastic. I have started a data base on my computer saying how much I have lost in stones and lbs.

Maybe you could make some sheperd's pies with quorn which is lovely and then have them ready just to pop in the nuke. If you remember to take them out of the freezer.
I did this for years when I worked shifts and made chilli, cheese and onion pies, spag boll sauce freeze it and forget to take it out of the freezer for the evening meal.

Re: Dieting
Well done to you all so far.I've been healthy eating since the 2nd of Jan this year and have so far lost 1 stone 3 pounds, I have got alot to lose so have a long way to go but it's a good start.
I'm just cutting out the 'rubbish' stuff, chocolates, biscuits, sweets etc and cutting down on my portion size. If I get really desperate I will have for example a chocolate bar but I am addicted to chocolate so prefer to cut it out if I can.
I want to eat stuff I can carry on eating the rest of my life and something I can live with.
It's not easy but onwards and upwards as they say.
