This is a great approach. Don't be strict with portions, measurements and exercise. Start little bets and watch what will happen. The point is having your body's physiology with you and not against you. Additionally this way you will build good eating and exercise habits for the rest of your...

Wish you the best. I think you will definitely lose extra weight. Quitting smoking indicates that you can adopt and sustain changes in your life. So find what helped with smoking and you may find a clue that will help you with extra weight. It is important to feel good with what you are doing...

Zechti's point with chicken and turkey is fine and well tested. Another one is Salmon. Salmon is an excellent source of lean protein and a good source of Omega-3 fatty acids, which may helpaid weight loss by improving glucose sensitivity, reducing insulinresistance, reducing inflammation, and...

As I've already mentioned in niec2ie's thread, the solution to many problems of mine was the simple, easy and steady approach; replacing from my take away menus one, just one unhealthy choice, with another quite satiating but healthy one. After 2-3 weeks another one and so on. Started also with...

Hello nic2ie. What a nice poetic expression: "If I could bottle this feeling and open the bottle whenever I was heading for the take away menus..." For me the solution to many problems was the simple, easy and steady approach; replacing from my take away menus one, just one unhealthy choice...

Of course you are not stupid. Struggling with weight loss for many years is an ugly reality. That's why many dieters seek quick fixes. They want finally a better quality of life. I agree with you that quick fixes like shakes, can't solve the problem. Looking for updates and news from you and...

Great news you've been working on yourself. Actually being an emotional eater is a big disadvantage. Conquering emotional eating will be a great victory. Wish you the best! You also need support. In this forum there are many wonderful people who will help you (you know inspiration, a few tips or...

Wish you good luck! You said that you've been on many diets over the years and have failed on everyone of them. Have you actually identified the reasons you have failed on everyone of them? I am asking this question, because many dieters who finally managed to drop extra pounds, confirm that...

dinks hi, wish you the best with your weight loss efforts. Your first week was great and you've already lost 7 lbs. You want to shed almost 10 stones of body weight. Just one question: have you considered how long is your weight loss journey going to take? I am asking this, because I think...

Hello nixxy. I am impressed with your good intentions to lose extra weight. Actually I find your plan rather restrictive. Of course this is my personal view. Your thoughts, feelings and actions will define the end result. I wish you the best! There is something I'd like to ask: how would you...

Well this is exactly my point. The satisfaction that you've earned a day. The feeling you have when you act with the right mindset. The emotional power you gain after a successfull day. If you find hard to stay focused for a full day, cut it to 3X 8-hours or 4X6-hours or even 24X1 hour parts...

Welcome onboard Lailah. You've managed to lose half the weight, so you know that you can make it. Focus on positive things (you've managed once to lose the weight) and not on negatives (you've put it up again plus extra pounds). You have now the knowledge on how you lost weight last year and the...

Hello catwoman. If you did the test yesterday, please reply here, so we'll follow with the next step. Cheers,

I like the way you see things. Results can actually give you the fuel to continue. That's why most individuals like to read about weight loss success stories, wishing and hoping that they will also manage to shed extra pounds. If others' success stories are so inspiring imagine how motivational...

Yes I agree with you "diet" is a little scary for many individuals. On the other hand "healthy eating" is friendly and includes a very positive message. Healthy eating is the key for a better health, something you learn from now on not just for weight loss reasons but for a better quality of...

If you want to start, easy exercises for starters is the key. You can not just go from your home couch to regular exercise program in a matter of days. Starting an exercise program should be done slowly, and even with a doctor’s supervision if you have medical issues. There are many...

Hello Jo welcome here. In minimins there is a dedicated section to SW. You can just go there and ask for help. There are many kind persons over there that will be happy to help you with your concerns. Good luck.

Great news you agree with me. My experience has shown, that only when you "burn your boats" so you can't return to the past and decide to take the journey ahead, you will manage to obtain your goals. And please Tori keep informing us about your journey. 2.5 kg was a great start. Keep going.

Hello Clair and welcome here. Wish you the best with your weight loss journey. Just a couple of questions. Have you ever had an exercise program or this is your first time? If you had one, how many years have passed since then?

Great news. You know exactly what caused the issue. In many ways you need to fix a new image of yourself. Not the old one (a person with extra pounds and bad eating habits maybe), but the new one (a person with no extra pounds who loves eating healthy, exercising, meeting with like minded...

Hello catwonam. Good luck with your weight loss efforts. This is great you came here for support and inspiration. Just a couple of questions: 1. How did you put 8 pounds back? 2. What do you find so hard with your diet?

Hi Tori. Nice to hear from you. Great news you've lost 2.5 kg. Well keep up the good work and remember you are not trying to do your best. You are on your weight loss journey. There is no maybe or try here. You just do the thing or you don't. You see, if you want to lose the extra weight and...

Hello Tori. You know what you want, you've set deadlines and goals, you are determined to succeed, you seem so motivated and you are from Australia that I love so much. Here in minimins you'll find great support. I think you will manage to lose extra weight. Good luck. By the way how was your...

Hello and welcome to minimins. Can you be more specific on what you want to learn from here? Minimins is a vast source of knowledge and interaction between members, so wish you to find what you want to know.

Hello Louise and Julie. It is very important to be determined to keep going with your weight loss journey Louise. Good luck with your efforts. Julie can you tell me in what ways you want to speed your metabolism up? Good luck to you also with your goals.

Hello Colin and welcome here. 3 stones+ since the middle of May are great results. Keep up the good work. Just a question: how easy or difficult was to follow the SW and was this diet something you've enjoyed following? Good luck!

Hello Jo and good luck with your new efforts to lose extra weight. Actually I don't think the wish you made was a selfish one. You are focused and dedicated to beat extra weight. Any focused and dedicated person may look selfish to others. Actually when you will feel better with your self and...

Hello Abbie and welcome here. Great news you lost 4 stones. Wish you the best with your new efforts. Obviously with SW you had great results. I just want to know a few things: is SW a diet you like and if so what do you like more on this diet? Additionally I'd like to hear from you the reasons...

Welcome here Hanna. Good luck with your weight loss journey.

Great news! You'll feel much better when you'll see 10 on the scale. Nothing succeeds like success. And you definitely know how your personal example and healthy lifestyle, will affect your son both physically and mentally. Good luck!

Hello Cat. Don't let those negative people make you thinking that you'll put the weight back. They create mental images you may also have deep in your mind, so they reinforce them. Your subconscious mind listens all these comments (both inner and from outside) and will make you fail. Angel said...

Welcome on board MrMega. You came to the right place. You'll meet supportive and caring people here. Well, concerning your quest to hints, tips and advice, if you could provide us with more info on your background, weight loss goals, lifestyle then we could help you more. I don't think you want...

Welcome choco-velvet. The Cambridge diet community here in minimins is well populated so you'll meet many individuals in the Cambridge diet dedicated forum.

Hi and welcome on board. In minimins you'll meet people who will encourage and help you. There is also a Lipotrin dedicated Forum where you'll meet other individuals following the diet. Good luck with your weight loss goal.

You know Wifey sometimes I tend to make statements rather than asking questions. I do this to my family too and believe me, it is not a good thing. I should have made a couple of questions first. When you do something you like you can make things much better. This is the case with WW. You know...

Small steps are your best choice. 2lbs/week combined with healthy choises is great. Just add a few simple workouts. You will also find great supportive people here. Good luck

Welcome and good luck with your weight loss journey. There is a WW section in minimins that might be helpful.

Hi Saturdazer and welcome onboard. Wish you good luck.

Welcome here and good luck with your weight loss journey.

Yes great 9 lbs in a week. Well done Amy

Welcome and good luck Wendy! I think you have a strong motive to lose weight-your mariage, and the greatest support you can get-your fiance. You may also check the SW section of minimins for extra tips and interaction with other SW dieters.

Hi Megan and welcome to minimins. I liked your post for many reasons: 1. You are aware of your situation 2. You know what went wrong (bad eating habits and stop attending) 3. You know you can make it (you've already been there and done that, you know it works) 4. Small targets and a plan Wish...

I am sorry if what I've mentioned considered judgemental. That was not my intention. That's why in the next sentence said: "On the other hand you were not feelink OK...". I just had the intention to make a general discussion about things individuals do and fail (they abandon their plan) and...

I see you are well motivated. Just keep walking and you'll see real results. You have set your goals, seems to be motivated enough, just keep doing the good work.

Welcome to minimins Wifey. Starting a weight loss program, succeeding to lose weight with it and after only 3 weeks shifting to something else, I don't think is the right attitude. On the other hand you were not feeling OK so you try something else you feel better with. WW is a reputable program...

Welcome on board Vicky. The SW section here in Minimins is enormous and many many individuals visit it. Wish you good luck

Welcome to minimins. You've been there, you've done that, you know you can make it. If you want this so much you will. Good luck.

Welcome to minimins. Just one step at a time and you will definitely see results. Lb by lb you'll shed all of them. Wish you good luck.

Welcome to minimins and to WW world. This is a reputable weight loss plan, many individuals have lost weight with them. Wish you good luck!

Welcome and good luck with your weight loss journey!

Welcome on board. 5 days passed since your first steps with SW. How do you feel with SW?

Great start. I think you'll succeed and you know why? You have all the core elements needed to succeed. Clear goals, good reason to lose weight, motivation, a definite plan, first encouraging results, enthusiasm, encouragement from us here in minimins. The only one crucial element you have to...

Welcome to minimins. Nice to meet you. If you need anything (tips, questions, encouragement, inspiration) you are in the right place. Don't hesitate to post here or elsewhere in the forum.

Welcome on board. Wish you the best with CD. Many folks have lost weight with CD. You may also visit the related section for more info and inspiration.

Welcome back. Good luck with your weight management goals!

I've also met people who succeeded with HL. I've also tried a similar diet with great results. I think that most things in life (relations, health, business, goals, etc.) have to do with the right mindset. There are many ways to succeed but with the wrong attitude and mindset you'll never will.

Hello Ami and welcome to the forum. Success stories are great for inspiration but your best motivation comes from your own results. That's why you feel so good now. Keep the good work and I wish you good luck!

That happens all the time. I don't know anyone trying to lose weight without setbacks or achieving weight loss goals without errors in judgement. If you really love your plan you'll finally meet your goals. The problem with TFRs is that under certain health conditions, they may not be suitable...

Welcome back Tootiefrootie. Family and boyfriend, people you love and care about you, are the best support. When you return back to home you'll feel much better. We are also here for extra support.

Glad you feel better and happier now and you want to get into shape again. I can see now what did that "etc." you mentioned in your first post was about. It was not actually a nice time. We are all here for encouragement, and wish you good luck! I'll be in touch.

Well I liked your post for 2 main reasons: 1. Your positive feelings and 2. The quote: "One Day At A Time!! Any Loss Is A Loss, NO MATTER HOW SMALL!!" This is my philosophy in life!!!

Hello Tracey. This is something every dieter experiences. Falling off the wagon happens so many times. I think this is not just a lack of willpower. Although there are really so many excuses the most important thing is your mindset and attitude. When you'll be able to change it, then nothing can...

Hi lyndz, welcome back on the diet bandwagon, and welcome to the forum! I hope you get your problem sorted and its nothing too serious. Although you have faced health and financial issues you want to get back to weight loss. This is very important. Don't wait everything to be right. It never...

Hi Melissa and welcome on board. You mentioned that over the course of the 3 years you weighed everything from 9st 8lbs to 12st. What makes you feeling that a lot of the more recent weight gain is due to the stress of your final exams? Was that the case with the other examination sessions too?

This is probably a mental issue and she actually needs mental medical care!

Any updates with your weight loss journey Becky?

Yes great news! There are many stories on board. All these stories give inspiration to individuals struggling with weight loss. Can you give us more details? You know what you did, what inspired you, etc?

Welcome to the forum Anna. Wish you good luck too! My opinion with quick fix weight loss solutions is that they seldom work. They give the wrong message to your body and mind. Your body will starve and you know the consequences of starvation. In order to lose weight you must change your attitude...

Keep visiting your thread here, while you will be at work in London this week. We will be all here for encouragement.

What have you done to lose 12 pounds in just a week? Great results indeed!

Hello indiana how things are going with CD?

Just send a screenshot of the problem to a moderator.

I can see 2 things: 1. In the 2nd picture you look more confident. 2. White clothing adds weight to our image. Nevertheless it is obvious you lost weight. Wish you good luck!

Inspirational indeed and you mentioned very valuable tips. You had a reason to start losing weight, then developed a better reason (you wanted to succeed not for another person, just for you), clear goal, an action plan, support from you mom and other guys in the gym, a great attitude ("it hurts...

Hello quonrocks and welcome on board. If this is permitted, I want to encourage you to create your own thread where we can discuss more about you. By the way I think this is very encouraging you know what causes your extra weight psoblem-your biscuit addiction. This is not just a matter of any...

Hello AlexiaRose and welcome to the forum. If you can give us more info about your weight loss goal, why you want to lose weight and in how many months, what motivates you more, a few words about your curent lifestyle, then we could help you more.

Great news Rebecca. This is a great thread as other forum members highlighted 3 basic steps to successfully lose weight: 1. Setting your personal weight loss goals 2. Find your motives that will help you keep going and 3. Support from individuals who have the same problem, or managed to solve...

My son had a kidneys issue almost 4 years ago and for 1 year we were visiting a hospital 180 km away. He is our only kid and before his birth was diagnosed with kidneys problem. I can understand your feelings. Fortunately we were lucky. His problem just "disappeared", doctors couldn't locate any...

Firelass, I liked your post and I think the quote above is the foundation of a successful weight loss journey. It all starts with the right attitude. The right attitude leads to right actions and results. But, the right attitude comes from your philosophy in life. Don't quit, keep going, learn...

Hello ElectricGypsy and welcome on board. Great news. It is very encouraging to see real results. SW and every tested and reputable diet works if you stick with it and follow the rules religiously. Losing extra weight requires dedication, motivation, patience, support, clear goals and a plan to...

My wife says I am an over-optimist (I say she is the opposite). Well I think these are great news you lost 37 lbs over 17 months if... you had a slow and steady weight loss. If you haven't put your body into ups and downs that ruin your metabolism you are in a great position. So my question is...

Hello Phil and welcome to the forum My opinion is that the problem is not all these diets you have tried in the past, but the dieter, you. In order to lose extra weight you must have strong motivation, support, a plan (any healthy eating and exercise plan), dedication. And I agree with you that...

If you've tried everything and simply can't lose weight, you've either hit a weight-loss plateau or there are probably other underlying issues. A weight-loss plateau occurs when you no longer lose weight despite continuing with your exercise and healthy-eating habits. Being stuck at a...

Hello Zafira. I liked your post for many reasons: 1. It is honest. You admit your mistakes. Recognizing a problem and taking the responsibility of this, is the first critical step. 2. You are aware of the actions made you overweight. 3. You have strong motivation. You are going to get married...
