Our GP referred hubby and me to the practice dietician when we told him we wanted to get to grips with our unhealthy life style. We gave up smoking in 2005, hubby had a coronary in 2009, our daughter (aged 32) died in 2010 and what with all that, we just piled on the weight.
The dietician didn't want us to go on any fad diet... you know the ones? Lose a stone in a day sort of ones? She suggested that as we were over 60, we could do no better than following Rosemary Conley's advice. So armed with a RC cookbook and a neighbours copy of 'the hip and thigh diet' we started on our journey.
We both wanted to lose 9lbs by Christmas with a steady 2-3lbs a week loss. So you can imagine out shock and delight on Sunday ( our week 1 weigh in) when hubby had lost 4lbs and me a huge 7! We don't feel hungry or feel that we are on a diet, its just a life style change for us. We walk the dog (black lab) a bit further every day and walk where we would otherwise have taken the car.
Tomorrow marks halfway through week 2 and we still feel marvellous
