[Razzle Dazzle]

Hi everyone, i started my weight loss 2 weeks ago and so far have lost 10.5 lbs . I started at exactly 26 stone and with having so much to lose i would love to have some friends in a similar situation who also have a lot to lose. I am following the Weight Watchers old Discover plan as it has worked for me before, but i gave up and gained back what i had lost. x

Hi Lea, how are you getting on with SW? I tried it twice before and didn't lose anything both times, i don't think i was eating enough (i was scared to eat incase i ate too much) but yet the consultant told me to cut out the bananas and i had only had 3 kids sized ones in the whole week. She wasn't very helpful atall. x

I have not been on any particular plan, most of them like Cambridge I can not do for health reasons. Basically eating a calorie controlled diet and keeping an eye on the sort of calories I have been eating. I don't restrict carbs too much but I do try and eat the right kind of carbs like wholeweat v white for example.

And I try not to eat too much fat which is easier for me as I don't eat meat. It is a lifestyle change as I lost half of this amount before on a fad diet but as soon as I stopped it went back on so I have to make sure what I am on now I can stick too realistically long term.
And I very rarely drink, I used to enjoy alcohol but I simply don't lose weight when I drink. Not that you need any advice you seem to be doing really well. Something that did help especially in the beginning was mini goals instead of end result. So each time I entered a stone bracket or getting my bmi to under 45, then 40, 30 etc. That really helped me stay motivated.
WW I think is a good one as I recall there is a lot of freedom and you make your own ideas as long as you stay under you allotted points? It defiantly seems to work for you!
Like to point out this was one long post but for some reason it cut it into 2 and wont let me edit the first one.

Also My fitness Pal is brilliant. You enter your weight and height. And then can add all the foods you have each day. It has a huge database and it calculates it for you anything from processed ready meals, to cheeses to take aways etc. It also has a recommendation of the calories you should consume that day as well as other facts like carbs, fat etc. Also takes into account any exercise you did and lifestyle.

Would you recommend my fitness pal to people doing Sw etc or is it a different sort of system because I know Sw u don't count calories etc ? Xxxxx

 

[chezz]

my fitness pal i would say id for the calorie counter but anyone can join and there is groups you can join on there xx
