Weight Loss achievement hope no one minds :)

Fantastic Gracey - well done. It's not easy and I struggle too so I know how wonderful it is when you've put so much effort in and it pays off!

That's fantastic! Well done and keep it up!

I have been trying to be good and exercise and I've been gym 4 times this week and have only had one slip up (where I ate 3 pitta breads in quick succession...woe)

We used to have a weight loss and exercise thread shall we start it up again?

That's brilliant!

I always think that seeing results is the best motivation

Well done you . Keep it up xx

I'd be on for this! I'm happy to start it up and keep it going if people are on for it? Or just to help keep it going if someone else wants to do it?

Brilliant! Well done :-)

Brilliant, well done!!!

I've heard low GI is a good principle to follow. Allowing yourself a day or too off also helps I think in the long term (yes, I still want to eat cake!)

That's fab, well done!

Well done!!!!! It feels so good to see those numbers changing.

YES to the diet thread.

I've done, it. I've lost the weight and now I am slowly letting it creep back on (10lbs back on so far). I don't want to be back at square one so I need to get a grip asap.

Go for it Tayto!

I think it might be good to have one diet/weight loss thread as the weight loss forum doesn't seem to see much use.

I started on Jan 19th at 15st 5lbs - so obese according to the charts - and I've lost a stone so far, which isn't too bad. Nobody has noticed yet - when you're bigger it takes longer to show! I'm hoping for another 3 stone before the wedding, and then another 2 after that ideally. I just use MFP and count calories - nothing too hi-tech.

Nice one! Well done.

I'm following weight watchers, and have lost 6lbs in 3 weeks. Another 6 before the wedding would be wonderful! and then I aim to lose another stone afterwards. (maybe more, depending on how much cake I eat...)

Thanks everyone ? and well done to those who have lost weight too!!! Yes I think a weight loss thread would be great, I have seen it ? so will go add my twopenneth there too!

ATB - thanks I am findig low gi quite good, a typical day for me is generally a muller light for breakfast, or alternatively a bowl of all bran (cardboard) with milk, oddly though it's one of the only cereals that actually keeps me full until pretty much lunch time!! Then mid morning if I'm hungry it's either a piece of cheese, or a carrot or some grapes. Lunch is usually a salad (home made) with a reasonable amount of protein so like ham or chicken or something similar. Mid afternoon snack if hungry is usually a mini peperami, or a 'nakd' fruit bar and then a bit of fruit usually apple or orange. Dinner is then chicken and vegetables, Spanish omelette mainly eggs veg and protein with a couple of new potatoes, occasionally burgers or sausages with just vegetables, fairly boring but seems to be working. Dessert if I have one is either half a snickers, or perhaps some strawberries and cream, or a bit of jelly... That's about it!!

You should be proud of yourself That's brilliant! Huge well done, keep it up!

I'm starting too so hope I do as well!
