OK, I am back from my holidays and listened to the CD this morning. TBH I have not done the cutting down on sugar and fat before starting as if I could do that by willpower alone, I wouldn't need Paul!! Feeling good, more positive about everything since listening to CD. Off to do exercise DVD...

Thanks Sammie, will have a look at that. Might be because it's so hot as well - I hope! Thanks for the encouragement.

Wow -such a difference. I have a lot to lose too - looking forward to my book coming. Truly inspirational - well done!

My book is coming tomorrow - excited now!

Hi Pinky Yes, I'd like to see the reading list please! I am just thinking about getting some new books to motivate me so would be really interested to see what they recommend. Will be following avidly to see what you think of the process!

No I haven't lost much!! Down 4.5lbs in the first few days, then nothing - day 12 now. Bah!

LOL thanks for pointing that out Bumpkin!

My scales have stayed the same since Monday so don't ask me!! I get bored of restricted diets really quickly, even if I have a good loss so thought low carb easier to stick to. I am tracking my carbs on myfitnesspal which helps.

Thank you for that link. It's very interesting - she seems to have a real insight into problems with food. How are you doing? Has reading it helped?

My feet! A doctor once complimented me on them!! I hadn't paid them much attention before that but I realised that they have put up with my enormous bulk all these years so I am thankful that they are still going strong:)

Hi FitGirl How's the walking going? HAve you stuck to it?

This is really interesting - will be looking into this more. Well done you have had fab weight loss.

Wow Cherl - congrats! I am also low carbing not as strictly as Atkins so good to see you have still had a good result.

Hi I am following John Briffa's book and he suggests not to do prolonged exercise while low carbing.

I think it's taking longer to load pages than usual tonight - or maybe it's just me:(

Wow you look fabulous - that's the body I want! Well done!

Anyone else had this problem? I am low carbing (well moderate by a lot of people's standards as having 100g carbs a day, but low carb to me!). Have done 11 days and in the first few days I lost 4.5lbs but since then the scales haven't moved! But I feel slimmer around my tummy. Anyone...

Wow - you are an inspiration! Thanks for sharing.

Wow - three stone is the magic number I think I need to get to so that I know it's a real loss! Sounds odd but true! Well done you!

Fab - well done!

This is incredible. I've been wanting to pick at food tonight but just came on to look at people's successes and you are so inspiring!! Totally amazing, thank you for sharing your story.

Looking good- well done!

Brilliant - really inspiring to those of us just starting!

I love this site! Thank you!!

Hey thanks Hexe and VintageH! I find it hard to relax without food, and TBH it has been a while since I dieted so I am used to thinking about food a lot. At the moment I am trying to finish my dissertation so spending lots of time sitting on my backside in front of a computer. Good idea to...

Thanks Cee I am only just getting used to posting so forgive my late reply. :) SW diet worked well for me once, hope it goes the same for you!

Great thanks Gina and VH! Stopped recording food as it was a pain but I know I do better when I do.

Thanks WW! Well done on your loss - fabulous!

Thank you that is really interesting. Think I may combine fast days and low carb on other days.

Wow IrishMolly! You are really inspiring! What a fantastic weightloss. Thanks for keeping us updated - really good to know that it IS possible to lose weight and keep it off.

Don't give up MamaC you are inspiring to us newbies! You have done so well. I don't get much support at home either. Do what YOU think best for you. Take care

These are very inspiring - just been struggling with thoughts of chomping on something - will hold off a bit longer.

Thanks! Errr how do i add myself to the list? Sorry, I am only just working out how to do this posting thing!! Luddite Mags x

Hiya peeps! How are you all monitoring what you're eating? Been using FitDAy, but only the free version so loads of ads and it's taking ages to load a page. It's day 4 and I need something easy to use as I find it a chore to keep a note of everything I eat. Anything better out there? Thanks

Me too! All my family can eat what they want and they stay skinny. So they are never very sympathetic when I am struggling.

Me too. I'm realising how hard I find it when I have a day off work. I want to graze all day. I have lots of things I can do to keep busy but the day is still punctuated by food. Bah!

It IS so hard isn't it? It really is the one thing in my life that I consistently fail at. Almost everything else that I want to do, I feel I can achieve but I can't lose weight and keep it off :(. Sorry, I can't offer any advise, I don't know how to do it either, but I can let you know...

Hi CAn I join too? I want to lose 44lbs to get to my intermediate goal. Weird to be thinking about Xmas!! But I need this. Thanks

Ooh they look good. I'm gf too and have been having Paul Rankin's sausages, but only get them if I make a special trip to Waitrose. Thanks!

Hi, I'm new too, although have also lurked on the boards before. And I also am not new to dieting!!!! Good Luck Mags x

I read Dr John Briffa's "Escape the Diet Trap" which explains why low carb is so good. He backs it up with lots of scientific papers so very convincing. Not much info on recipes, just general list of what to eat freely, what to eat in moderation and what to avoid. I am just eating very...

Hey Wildfruit! I am on day 2 and was just thinking the same. I had read that I would feel great without carbs but have felt exhausted this afternoon. Early night for me! Hang in there Mags

Wow you have done well. This is what I am trying to do too - just started yesterday. Will be looking here for inspiration!
