Well done mate 3 stone is a massive acheivment , do you think that the calorie counting is helping?? It's something I haven't done as yet but might start when the initial weight loss slows up.

Yeah, I find it useful to count calories too....although I'm not 100% strict about it. For instance, I don't measure the milk I have in my tea, or the portion of low-fat spread I might have on my toast.
I know a lot of people are succesful without counting calories, but I guess anything that teaches us a bit more about nutrition/portion control can only be a good thing
After all, this is a lifestyle change, not a quick-fix.
I'd like to be able to get to a point where I can look at other things, like the amount of salt I'm eating, or the additives in my food, (as well as the calories and fat content) but for the moment I'm really not fussy - as long as it's low fat and not too high in calories, I'll eat it....

Go on smile! =)
I dont really believe in 'taking a day off' but i do how ever go out for lunches and meals with family and friends quiet alot. Best thing i find is to take a look before hand at their menu. And plan my meal, planning is the biggest factor of eating out this way you know what you're having and you dont have to worry about eating over.
Most places now a days will do a healthy option, if not stick to salad, jacket potatos veg lean meats you get the drift
Don't ever think cos you are dieting it has to effect your social life at all cos it doesnt. Aslong as you're aware of what you're eating you'll be fine.
