Hello!
I wouldn't completely knock clean and green, I wasn't so sure at one point.... I think if you are losing as is stick to it, if not give it a go
Keep popping by, lots of lovely people here, very supportive

Whatever it takes!
We're reading J2, don't worry, and we're behind you 100%! Good luck!
Do you think 5st weight loss by Christmas do-able tho, quite a lot to lose in 5 months, a stone a month (20 weeks left, 3.5 lb a week)?
I'm don't mean to sound negative and that you can't do it, I believe the human spirit can achieve ANYTHING it sets it's heart out to do. But, I have recently changed my thinking to slow and steady which has given more confidence and assurance to go on (only 5 days in, mind).
I'm just saying as I've set myself unachievable targets (over and over) and dropped out (over and over) when not been able to achieve it, even early on. I'm not saying that yours are unachievable, everyone is different, just something to consider?
I wish you every bit of luck, sorry for the essay!

Hi James and welcome back
I'm back on induction this week too so we can help each other out - along with everyone else - they are all so supportive.
As Teeney says, don't knock clean and green altogether, Jim swears by that approach for his incredible weight loss - I guess try one thing and it doesn't work, maybe give C&G a go?
All the best
Susie

Well, hopefully you didn't hurt your foot or break the thing you kicked?!
I know how you feel from the perspective of uniform being too tight and you are absolutely right, you, and only you, can change that fact!
In my case, I honestly believed I had a food addiction, I just couldn't stop putting food in my mouth. Since ketosis has kicked in I feel better able to control my eating and no need for secret eating and binges. I can decline freshly prepared cakes and scones. I now sometimes don't finish what's on my plate.
If you can get through that first week or so and hit ketosis, you'll be able to stick to it better and it'll give you the new start you need! Good luck! x

Good to hear on the veg front, I've got a yummy broccoli and spinach bake that's really easy to make, if you want it - for a day when the Premier League isn't on, naturally
Another good way to get your veg down is to make a green smoothie

Evening James
Great to see your menus. I'm not a fan of them tbh, I do like my leafy greens -= but if it works for you, then go for it!
Can I help on the anger front? Happy to be a nice old lady that you chat to

Happy birthday J!
I'm with teeney, I've added a screen shot of what I see your menus like, which is what I can't tell what you're having, lol. I guess it's cause I view it on the phone app and don't log on via computer.
I was interested in what you were saying about low cals and carbs up to 50g and it was making sense. If I have the time, will do reading about it too, interesting point.
As for another year gone, know how you feel and am in the same boat. This time tho, I am just taking my time and as long as I accomplish it eventually, I will be happy. Too many times I have set myself unrealistic goals and failed which has led me to over eat even more and a vicious circle ensues.
Great to hear you so motivated and pumped up!

And that's when the once office trainer steps in... Taadaa!
Copy cells, right click into new spreadsheet, then select 'paste' and choose 'values'. It will give you just the value of the cells and then clear formatting, (either in edit or alt + E A F). Happy excelling, look forward to see your diaries

Morning James - and happy birthday!
Just think, next birthday you will be a whole new you! Just keep on doing what you're doing and if you start to feel any wobbling come on, shout out and we can help.

Hi James,
reading your posts with great interest particularly what you say about veg.
i find if I eat a reasonable amount of veg I gain weight so I have to really limit myself and eat much more meat and cheese instead.
My hubby does slimming world but it doesn't work for me at all and I just don't think I can lose weight if I'm not in ketosis.
stay angry if it helps keep you motivated. I've just had the same feeling when I celebrated my birthday a few weeks ago. Another year passed with not much to show for it. I've got an extra decade on you though as I'm hurtling towards 40 so even more depressing.
Looks like you are really motivated to do it this time in whatever way works for you.
Wishing you lots of luck
