Just a quick one to let you know that it really does not have to be that hard to loose weight if you really want to.
I, like so many others, have tried so many times to loose weight but have struggled to shed the pounds.
My latest attempt seems to be working for me, all I have done, is to cut out as much fatty products and bread as I can, I still eat them but not in the same quantitys and I just stick to three meals per day, If I fancy anything in between I will just eat a piece of fruit.
So far I have managed to loose 8kg in just 6 weeks, which is just over a stone.
The best part of it is when people start telling you that they can tell that you have lost the weight.
Good luck.

It is just pure will power. Already this year I have lost two pounds and yet I stayed on my normal diet and only cut down on Cornish Pasties, Danish pastries and bread and jam. I am hoping to lose another pound by the end of the year as I too was told it is best to lose weight slowly but surely.
Slightly off topic which is unusual for me but since I gave up smoking May 2007 I have spent almost my entire life around the doctors with things wrong. So I am now fat and ill.
i know how hard it is to lose weight,i,m in a battle with mine, i broke my
shoulder,and while waiting for the op, i put 5 .5 stone on, op great,
couldent seem to move the weight. went to the doc,s he said for my age i was
really fit but the weight would kill me.......so he asked would i like to try
a diet called lipatrim,being trailed at hope hospital,free from the hospital
but waiting list,or he could give me a note for the chemist in our area,
and pay for it. chose to pay to start straitaway. i,ve lost 3 .5 stone,and
it works for me. i could have lost all of it but, i stick to it for a month,then
i give myself a break. still go to aquafit,walk etc, if you want to talk it over,
you can pm me or will see you at peterbourgh,
but whichever way you try, all the very best

Hi Megs,
Well done for losing 3.5 stones, I bet you are absolutely thrilled with yourself? Nobody knows how awful you feel when you are very overweight and so I know how proud you must be of your wonderful achievement. How long did it take you to lose that amount and how much more are you hoping to lose?
I am intrigued by this new diet Lipatrim you mentioned and I would be very interested to hear all about it and what it is exactly and how it works etc - so I will be definitely be seeking you out at the Peterborough show to find out more.
Keep up the good work and once again WELL DONE!
Sue

Hi there,
Well I have promised myself I will do it and so far so good!
Tomorrow is weigh day for me and so I will find out what I have lost during my first week. I know I have lost cos I sneaked a look on the scales a couple of days ago but I will not divulge my 1st weeks loss until tomorrow lol!
I have not been 'dieting' as such as past experience has proved to me that faddy 'diets' do not work long term and although I have in the past had times when I have lost lots of weight, I have always ended up eventually putting it all back on and more besides! No this time I am simply eating healthy food and cutting out all the rubbish. Plenty of fruit and vegetables as I love my veg and I can honestly say I have not felt at all hungry. I have craved certain things but instead of totally denying myself everything I like I have enjoyed the odd small treat but have only allowed myself 1 such treat per day. For example I had 1 glass of red wine last night and the other night a fun size bag of maltesers. If I can allow myself the odd treat here and there I feel that will be a phychsological boost for me!
As for exercise, I know what you are saying and I agree this is vital in my battle to get fit and so it is something I will be gradually doing a bit at a time of from now on. Due to medical reasons I will need to take one step at a time where exercise is concerned but I have decided that I will begin with walking my dogs a short distance every night and make small changes like parking a little further away from the shops, taking the stairs instead of the lift etc. I have problems with my knees and use a walking stick to get around plus a mobility scooter for long distances and once my weight is reduced I can have an operation on them to hopefully rectify the problem. I have been advised by my GP that as my weight decreases I should hopefully find physical activities become less of a problem and as a result I should be able to enjoy a lot more physical activity as time goes on.
I thank you all for your advice and help and I will let you all know what my first week's weight loss is tomorrow so watch this space LOL!

Oh I truly hope that you are right silvasurfa as I so want to feel healthier and fitter!
I have always been an active person, despite battling with my weight most of my life but when you are younger it isn't a problem (in fact I was always far fitter and far more active than my slimmer friends LOL) but as I have got older my weight has become a problem and it has certainly started to tell on me these past few years!
Never mind - it's mind over matter and positive thinking that is the key to success and even though it's only been a week since I woke up and decided "That's it! Enough is enough" I already feel 100 times better about myself and I am full of motivation and determination.

Hiya Sue,
Hope the diet is going well!
I could do with getting a half a stone off,this Motorhoming lark is great fun but it does lead you into bad habits!
All that beer and wine drinking and those quick and easy winter meals and snacks certainly add up!
I know I have not got loads of weight to loose but I will keep you company along the way if you want someone to cheer you on!
What shall we do?
Instead of posting actual weights shall we just post or PM how many pounds we have lost each week?
Val

Great idea Val and for me it will be a case of posting how many pounds lost each week as there is no way I am disclosing my actual weight to the world! LOL
I know what you mean re this motorhoming lark leading you into bad habits but there is the other side of this exciting pastime such as plenty of nice fresh air, long country walks and summer salads LOL! The choice is OURS!
Good luck Val and thank you for your kind offer of support!
