I set myself a monthly target of 5 pounds. This was the minimum target that used to be set at Slimming Club, many years ago and it seems to work. So far, I have only had one month where I have only lost 5 pounds, most months I have lost at least 6 pounds. It usually means I feel really good...

Once we got started it was great to do it together, as we support each other. He has a lot less to lose than me but it doesn't seem to matter. Good luck to you both, just remember, to get to the end, you have to get through the beginning. That was the only thing that kept me going at first.

I got to the magic 2 stone gone figure this morning and just had to share it with you all. I never thought that I would reach it and it has been a long time coming (but no saggy skin yet!) I had to post if only to see my ticker! Between us my husband and I have now lost 47 pounds and feel...

Hi all My whole diet is based on portion control, I use the diet plate, which basically re educates me to eat less. It is marked much the same with a protein area and a carb area you then fill the rest of the plate with veg/salad. I eat unlimited fruit through the day and only two slices of...

Only just noticed this post but had to let you know, I have been to Italy with Keycamp, to Lake Garda. The caravans were very clean and all the Keycamp tents/caravans were all together so we were with other English speaking people, (had some good evenings sat outside with a glass of wine!) You...

Glad it's not just me. I have now pulled away from the stone by 4 pounds, so can now push to the next half stone mark, they are much easier!!

I know how you feel, I was feeling that way before my holiday, so I gave my diet a holiday. I aimed to maintain for a couple of weeks and relax, now I have returned to normal life and feel totally rejuvenated and ready to carry on. Stick with it, we can do it.

I didn't know there was a patch! But I agree, the minimims patch is the best, it really helps me. I have just returned from holiday, having lost one pound!!!!!! and we went out for meals five times in the week. I don't quite know what is different this time for me, but long may it continue...

When I started to lose weight this time, I was full of optimism and determined that this was going to be the last time, definitely the last time, I had to lose this amount of weight. Then life took over! Stupid things like weddings, holidays, guiding camps (I am a brownie leader), celebratory...

We are packing the car tonight to go on holiday, we are staying in a cottage in Cornwall, and I can't wait. The first thing to go into the car?.....The weighing scales!!! Do you think this in unhealthy? I find that I can't face a week just guessing if I am doing OK. I am losing about one...

Or does anyone else experience sticking points around stone marks? As soon as I get within a pound or two of the stone mark everything seems to slow down and it takes ages to get below the stone and then carry on. :confused::sigh:

I got my scales from Tesco for £30, they are Weight watchers and are brilliant. If you can afford them, I would definitely recommend them.

Hi all! Hope to lose 5lbs this month, I am holiday for the last week, but will try anyway. I was away last week and still managed to lose 1lb so am feeling great. I also use the diet plate, takes all the guessing out of portion control and is so easy to use, keep it up everybody.

Just wanted to share my joy with you all. I have a long way to go yet, but there goes another 2 pounds. Between me and my husband we have now lost 2 stone! The bed is so happy. Going on holiday next week to France, here's hoping I can keep it up while we are away.

Hey, Charisma. Don't get down hearted, just take each day one at a time, it will happen, you look to be doing all the right things. A tip I learned years ago was to measure yourself, waist, hips, thighs, arms with string, some weeks even if you haven't lost weight you might have lost inches...

Hope I'm not too late to join in. I try to eat my 5 a day by eating fruit instead of chocolate and crisps, always have fruit to hand, 30 minutes walk a day and lots of water!

Before I started to diet this time I had a clear out of most of the stuff I had kept cos it was going to fit me one day, some stuff was as old as my daughter, and she's 18!!!!!! I took six bin bags to the charity shop. I kept one pair of trousers that I bought a couple of years ago and are a...

I have now lost a stone, I have one pair of trousers that I bought, but have never worn and I try them on religiously every week, at first I couldn't even get them on, now I can very nearly fasten them. Apart from that, no one has noticed, or maybe they are just not saying anything to be polite!

I was a bit of a crisp junkie so I went cold turkey and cut them out completely, the same with chocolate. The first thing I had to do was get my head in the right place, but I still go out twice a week and drink lager, and I still drink the odd glass of wine at home, I suppose when I lose more...

When I'm at work I have a slice of toast and marmite for breakfast, for lunch I either have a sandwich or what's left from tea the night before. I always have fruit with me for when I get peckish and I set no limit on that. For cereal they say just weigh out the equivalent of 100 calories and...

Hi there! I only joined this site today, I am hoping it is full of like minded people trying to stop their knees from hurting by losing a few pounds. I started dieting with the diet plate at the beginning of May and so far have lost 12 pounds. Has anyone else tried this one and have they had...

Thanks for the welcome, the plan basically says try not to each more than 2 slices of bread a day have 3-400 calories at lunch and then use the plate for dinner. You 'measure' your carbs and protein onto the plate and then fill it up with veg/salad. I have cut out biscuits and chocolate and...

Hi there, I am new to this site but hoping you can all help me. I started to try to lose weight at the beginning of May and so far I have lost 12 pounds. Starting weight was 17 stone 3lbs. I am using the diet plate which is basically portion control for one meal a day and being sensible the...
