Week 2 Results Well Sunday arrived and I have to admit I woke up late and rushed to get up and out on time for a big football match so I didn't get a chance to weigh myself in the morning. I spent Sunday day in the pub with a group of friends and I started out so well, pints of water for me...

So, week 2 is going relatively well. I'm keeping up with the 3 litres of water, and a few cups of green tea. I am managing to keep under my daily calorie allowance too, normally eating 1100-1150kcal a day. But reducing my carbs is proving very difficult. I've got it down to around 100g a day...

Mandy, thanks for the tip on protein. I find it quite hard to increase that much as I'm a vegetarian. But eggs and Quorn are rapidly becoming my friends! Rainbow Rose, thank you for the encouragement. It really helps! I can't replace all the goodies in the house as I don't think my house mate...

I'm drinking 3l a day and I agree, it's stopping me craving. It's brilliant! My carb challenge is to limit myself to 70-90g a day. I've been having double that. So hopefully that will help with my weight loss. And stop me being as tired and sluggish. Worth a shot anyway.

Week 1 I got on the scales early on the Sunday morning. I was disappointed, but not surprised by the number staring up at me, 17st 7lbs. Considering that I am 5ft 6, I know that I am hugely overweight. Around 7 stones, 95lbs or 43 kgs if you prefer. It all meant one thing, I needed to take...

Hi Bex, Thanks! I don't know about brave, but committed definitely. Which I suppose is a good thing considering the mountain I have to climb! But one week in, 6.5lbs down and I'm even more determined. Good luck with your goal too x

I've been looking at posts on this site for a few months now and I am completely inspired by all the success stories and the bravery of you all to be so honest with your challenges and struggles. So, now it's my turn. . . My name is Megan, I've been overweight for the last 10 years. I say...
