    15 Stone To Lose - Help And Encouragement Gratefully Recieved!

    Hey Emma, well done for sticking to it!:happy096: What's your first mini goal and what are you going to do to treat yourself when you achieve it? Honest, it's really important you break it down into "bite-sized" chunks and that you do something nice for yourself when you achieve one.

    Cross Stitch Crazies

    If I can get through it in time (course I can - and I can be 2.5 stones lighter by then!), it's to be a Christmas pressie for my mam. She and my dad lived out in Kenya for a couple of years many years ago and still have lots of African things around their house, so it'll go really well.

    Cross Stitch Crazies

    Just found one! Had a quick look as I'm keen to make a (re)start - just found this one ('Watembea Nyumbani' - Walking Home - Sew and So) roughly where I thought it was. Hadn't done much at all before it got packed away:D so plenty to keep me busy while I'm getting over the flu right now!:(

    Knee High Boots and Weight Loss

    My favourite ever purchase was made last year, I treated myself to a pair of black, high-heeled over-the-knee boots form DUO in a 48cm calf width (£175:eek:) for my birthday. If I ever have a slight regret WHEN I lose a lot of weight it will be that they will no longer fit. I hope to wear them...

    Hi crystel, nice to chat to you too. I'm really enjoying the food (not quite as good as I can cook (if I do say so myself!) but when I cook I always do "plenty to freeze for later" so even when it's low fat and low cal there is always more to go back for seconds with, so this is much better for...

    Well done on the 2.5 stone! It's so good to hear how well you ahve all got on with DC - it makes my large amount to lose seem a realistic goal! I hope you love NYC - make sure you enjoy it. I got so depressed about turning 30 when it was happening (about 3 years back) that I refused to do...

    Anyone doing or done DIET CHEF?

    Hi KBeth, I've just started too (first proper day was yesterday). I have 8 stone to lose in total (it also links to my health, though the treatment caused it rather than the condition, in this case), so it looks like we are both in it for the long haul - me even more than you! I did CD a...

    Buying clothes before you have lost weight

    I don't think that if I bought a size 10 dress now it would be such a good idea (though that's the size I ultimately aim for), but I do have a load of old clothes ranging from 14-18 that I want to get back into, so they are a good incentive! I would never buy something more than 1 dress size...

    Keep it up, it's just a blip, your first week was excellent! Even though the general trend is down, when you diet, day to day you fluctuate, so don't take too much notice of a couple of day's bad weigh ins. If you want to try to get 4lbs off this week, maybe you could try cutting it to 1200...

    8 stone to lose, could do with a buddy!

    They are microwavable meals, but they are pretty decent (so far) - better than the average ready meal. It is quite expensive up front (£195 for 5 weeks!) but definitely no more than I would spend on food normally, by the time I do supermarket shopping and buy lunches when I'm at work etc. I...

    8 stone to lose, could do with a buddy!

    Diet Chef? To be honest, it's calorie counting for when you feel too lazy to do it yourself! :ashamed0005: You order a hamper of food every 5 weeks and you get 3 meals and a snack for every day of that 5 weeks (you can add some fruit and veg yourself). It restricts you to 1200 calories for a...

    9 Stone to lose... how do you motivate yourself...

    I'm not the best person to advise on overcoming the "sod it" mentality, mostly because I'm prone to it myself! However, when I do manage it's usually when I have a goal in mind and I'm concentrating on it - last time I lost a large amount of weight was because I wanted to look good at a...

    about 10 stone to lose

    When I've done calorie counting successfully, it's been through sticking rigidly to recipes from cook books that have calories quoted underneath - it gives you a good sense of portion control too - if it says the recipe is for 4, you split it into 4 portions and freeze the ones you don't use -...

    Earthly Powers by Anthony Burgess. Not at all the sort of thing I usually read, but I am about to go on holiday to Malta and wanted to read a couple of books set there.

    Historical Fiction - Any recommendations?

    maximum amount of carbs

    As long as you stick to the rules about 15g of fat per meal xenical will work for you, no matter what the carb content of the food. However, if you feel better with fewer carbs then I would keep them on the low side - it won't undermine the xenical.

    Lunch Box Ideas, for adults!!

    I tend to make up a couple of big pans of soup on a weekend, and I add rice vermicelli so that I don't need to have bread. I freeze it and take it for my lunches during the week. Each portion is less than 200 calories, even with the noodles in it, but they are pretty filling. I know it can...

    Bit Stuck

    I'd go along with Eric, though it sounds a bit soon, after a week, to have done a lot of conversion of fat into muscle. I would, though, recommend measuring your waist, or your particular problem areas weekly or fortnightly and see if they are decreasing. I've already said this on another...

    Oops, meant to add, if you are exercising hard and not losing weight, try measuring yourself for motivation.

    I was told the same when I was doing the Cambridge Diet a couple of years back. It was apparently to do with it being a diuretic. I was always sceptical, as I went onto decaffeinated tea for a couple of weeks (YUK!!) and saw no appreciable difference in weight loss. I've just googled it (see...

    Xenical and exisiting medication?

    I go on holiday a week on Friday - 2 weeks in Malta. I've been told that the local food is an interesting mixture of North African and Italian that is hearty and very tasty. I have every intention of sampling it, but the problem is if I take my xenical the side effects will probably be a BIG...

    Thank you all - the weird part is the day after I last posted I was clearing out my wardrobe and found a box of 4 full packs of xenical at the bottom of a plastic crate full of summer sandals - they are still just in date and so I have enough xenical for the next month :)

    That's why I'm not on Cambridge any more - just couldn't convince myself it was healthy. I'm now calorie counting with xenical and cooking everything from scratch.

    10 days into xenical no weight loss

    I've done both Cambridge (basically the same as Lighter Life since they are manufactured together, I'm told) and xenical - if you have literally gone back from LL to "normal" food with xenical you are almost bound to put weight on to begin with. To be honest, your body is still used to sub-500...

    How do you get your xenical?

    Hi everyone I lost 2.5 stones on xenical about 3 years ago by getting it through Boots (£125 every 3 months, got down to 18.5 stone from close to 21 stone), I plateaued and couldn't justify the expense when I had lost only a lb in over a month using it, so stopped buying it. At the time my GP...

    If it comes to knee-highs, I have SERIOUSLY big legs, but I got a pair from La Redoute which (just) fitted my huge calves when I was size 22 (I am 18/20 now and they fit now without straining) - go for their "La Redoute en Plus" or occasionally they do a pair that have 3 leg widths in the...

    Do you have PCOS?

    I'm far from an expert, but I think polycystic ovaries and PCOS are the same thing. I have to admit to being qite confused about whether I have PCOS or not - I was diagnosed as having endometriosis at 17 (I was given a laperoscopy and they found an ovarian cyst at the time which was "nothing...

    hi.....newbie and in need of advice plz

    Hi all

    Hi there I used xenical for over a year (and lost over 3 stone - though eventually my body got too used to it and I stuck, or I would still be using it) and the only times I ever had any side effects was when I knew fine well I wasn't sticking to the rules. Try to limit yourself to 12g of fat...

    Pleased to meet you all

    Hello Everyone I'm very glad to have found this site. Like most people here I'm overweight and hoping to change that.
