Buy some lovely clothes and start going to nights out and parties again : )

Yay ... I'm glad it does, every little helps : ) I really like it - I can drink green tea but prefer the peppermint - very soothing if you have a sore throat too ;)

I haven't tried green tea but I do like peppermint tea - do you think it has the same benefits?

Well done - keep up the good work : )

Good luck with your new, healthy lifestyle : )

Aw, your greyhound sounds lovely. I have two whippets and they're just the same - absolute couch potatoes who love nothing more than a cuddle : )

Thanks for the replies ... I'll go and have a look for the pets section now : )

Brilliant ideas - I think I'll start a Christmas tree and a jar of marbles : )

Hi everyone I'm a :newbie: I realised my weight had gotten out of hand in the middle of June and have been cutting out junk food and trying to increase the amount of exercise I've been doing. This mainly consists of walking my two lovely whippet dogs - Blue and Alfie - they're getting...

That's a good tip - definitely worth a try : ) thanks

You might find aiming for 2lb per week is a bit more achievable - good luck : )

For me it's the clothes thing too - I hate it when i see something I like but it just looks awful on me because of my size. Also, the health problems - sore joints, sore feet, getting out of breath so easily : (

I definitely won't miss the extra weight but I do think that I'll appreciate being a healthy size when I get there. When I was younger and my weight wasn't an issue I definitely took it for granted. Good luck everyone : )

I've been weighing myself every two weeks on the scales in Boots. I was tempted to get myself some scales for the house but have decided against it as I think the temptation would be too much and I'd end up weighing myself every day and getting fed up when there's no difference. I like...

I agree with trying some raw veg - turnip is yummy raw and there's nothing quite so nice as peas straight from the pod : ) When you're cooking veg be careful not to cook them for too long - they should still be nice and firm and not overcooked and squishy!

Well done you and best of luck. You sound very determined so I'm sure you will start to see some great results soon.

What an interesting thread - and a great idea to draw a life line to spot possible causes for starting to gain weight. When I started my first job at 17 (a long time ago now) I also started drinking diet coke and that turned into an addiction that lasted more than two decades. One day I...

Does anyone have a tried and tested healthy curry recipe - also any rice and chickpea based recipes would be great - ta

Hi, I'm new : ) just joined this evening. I've been losing weight by changing my eating habits - cutting out processed, fatty and sugary food and increasing my daily exercise. So far, so good as I've lost 1st 9lb in two months. I'm hoping that joining this forum will help to keep me motivated...
