I am a 42 year old woman, who is hoping she has found something interesting that my work this time. I had great success with Slimming World in my early 20s, tried Weight Watchers in my late 30's after having 2 of my children. Now my 3rd child is 4 and I haven't got back into my size 12's let alone 10's since I became pregnant with him.
I keep trying to diet and only lasting a day or two. I was browsing the internet on Sunday for help and inspiration and found an article that caught my eye (this happened 19 months ago when I saw something to help be quit smoking, I have now been a non smoker for 18 months). So, I am hoping this will work for the eating problem. It was the Harcombe diet and sounded really interesting, I certainly don't believe everything I read, but I downloaded the book and decided to give it a go.
I need to loose around 3st maybe 4 (depending how I feel, I usually loose inches round my waist and do not wish to be smaller than a size 10).
Day one of Phase 1 was yesterday, all went well. No serious side affects, no banging headaches from lack of caffeine. I am luck as I only drink black tea and coffee without sugar anyway. I am wondering how long I can last on herbal tea.
Today I had to take my little girl for tests and she could not eat or drink before them, so I snuck in a couple of eggs for my breakfast when she wasn't looking. I had to take her for lunch afterwards, so did the best I could with meat and salad from the self serve counter.
Enjoying it so far, hoping my get up and go will come back as it never returned when I quit smoking.
Good luck to everyone here , sorry for the epic xx
