[kellyspiggies]

good luck to you as well, we will do it lol

[princessguinea]

oh boy i know how it is! i just started a diet yesterday and it was the worst day of my life! i bought weight watcher meals...when i opened one, i wanted to cry! it was such a small amount! the rest of the day, i munched on fruits and power bars! wish me luck. i really wanna lose some pounds! i dont wanna be a sixe 1 or anything, i just wanna have more energy and fit in my clothes better... ???

[bevs]

Well I want a tummy tuck, I'm 8 and a half stone , a size 8, have great abs, but they're covered in loose skin, not fat just lots of stretched skin :( In Belguim you can have it done for around £1000

Fatty food always sits on my tummy too, and choc biscuits are the worst, I can't just eat 1, so I just don't have them in the house. Problem solved LOL ;D

[DebbieR]

The main ingredient of a chocolate biscuit is string. Yep that's right string!! How else would you explain why when you take one out of the packet - all the others follow? ;D

[bevs]

LMAO Well that explains it Deb ;D I always thought it was just my rotten willpower ;D

[DebbieR]

Ooh no Bev its nothing to do with willpower. If that was the case I'd have to admit to having none as well and that will never do. ;D

Just remember ladies:

Little pickers wear big knickers ;D

Mine are huge :-[ ;D

[kellyspiggies]

lmao you so funny debbier

[gothchick1515]

[kellyandpiggies]

Been on a diet all my life, but with me being unable to exercise as much as I want, it's not possible!!

What I'd give to be a size 10!..........

But cant change, and I hsven't put any on since we got married! I did lose a little, but not thin yet!

[Lucinda]

JUST DO THE ATKINS DIET - IT REALLY WORKS!
;D

[kellyandpiggies]

ok, ok I know lovey.. good websites, books?

[Lucinda]

he he sorry I am such a fan of that diet. get the Atkins diet book - it's the bright orange one (be careful as there are many books of recipes etc). Do read it first because it explains why it works and how, and I think it is important to know what you are doing to your body! xx

[kellyandpiggies]

will do - bright orange one (there better be one, not 50!)?? LOL will have a look lovey..

Been looking already but there seems so many!

[claire]

I need to lose wait too for the summer lol

Love
Claire

[michellemuffin]

must be a piggy lover thing as i also want to lose 2 stone I have it all on my tum but i have had 5 kids but I am getting really down about it, but having pcos and under active thyroid makes it harder to shift the weight I have a treadmill, so after easter I'm going to get mean with myself not worth starting before if i'm a chocoholic !!!!

cant do the Atkins am a vegitarian, its a choice between weight watchers and slimming world green diet, anyone done these with success, my worse thing is chocolate, I've got a blood test tomorrow morning and am fasting for 14 hours ugh my bar of choccy is calling for me from the fridge, then after blood test for a diabetes review I have a damn filling at the dentist , my worst nightmare, thursdays are fast becoming a pain in the ass day for me,
we are flying to Barbados to pick up our cruise ship next march and I need to lose weight before then, so once Easters been and gone I'm going to give choccy the push :'( :'( :'(

[kellyandpiggies]

aww Hope everthing goes well for you Michelle..!

Chocolate's not my downfall, it's just boredom! LOL

[claire]

Im a big chocoholic thats my problem ;D

Love

[Lucinda]

Kelly, it's called Dr Atkins New Diet Revolution. The early part explains how it works by stabilising blood sugar and preventing hyperinsulinism (the main reason why other diets fail).

I promise you you will not feel hungry on it and you will not suffer from blood sugar crashes. I lost a stone and a half in eight weeks.

[kellyandpiggies]

ta lovey.. am mooching over to amazon! :D

[kellyandpiggies]

ooohh yeah, they got a diet and recipes book too, worth getting do you think?

[Lucinda]

get the diet book. It has a big recipe section at the back anyway. I wouldn't bother with the other recipe books, as you soon find out the sort of thingss you can eat and what you like.

[kellyandpiggies]

oh ok then ta.. it's bought! will start when I get it!

[Lucinda]

good luck! let me know!

[kellyandpiggies]

will do for sure! :D

[claire]

Good luck Kelly ;D

[bevs]

Good luck Kelly ;D

Michellemuffin: Slimming world is great, loved green days, Batchelors Pasta n Sauce is free food, yum! ;D
Lost 3 stone doing it, so give it a go ;D

[kellyandpiggies]

thanx lovey!

[gothchick1515]

I would do atkins but with my diabetes i have to have a diet hig in carbs hehe x

[michellemuffin]

thanks Bev free food yummy I'm guessing no choccy though, I have got to get it into my head chocolate is nasty sticky fattening sickly disgusting stuff, like you Kelly a lot of it is boredom usually when theres rubbish on tv, will really try ahrd after Easter (got to eat my eggs first though) then it gives me 7 clear months for no excuses until christmas but by then I hope i'll hate the stuff,

[kellyandpiggies]

not all the time you don't-- I'm diabetic too\

[bevs]

You can still eat chocolate but in moderation, it will be classed as a sin. you have up to 15 sins a day and everything will have a sin value. For me the best thing when I want something sweet are weight watchers cakes :) but I don't know what their sin value would be though.

[Michele]

Personally how i lost 3 stone was changing what i ate. I had too really cos i have IBS. I also hat ethe word DIET. I became a veggie but eat fish. no meat red or white no booze no fizzy drinks no milk or much dairy. no take aways. just loads of fish fruit and veg. thats was in 2002 and i los thte weight in about 7 months. I still eat the same just changed my habits

[alisont]

Just seen this thread - I use to have IBS and was overweight as a veggie - had a food intollerance test - blood test done and found im intollerant to egg, cashews, dairy and bananas! As a veggie i ate way too much cheese.

I decided to alter my diet and have not looked back - I cut down at first then cut out dairy and egg, cut down on the unhealthy snacks and alcohol, joined the gym. Lost 4 stone very quickly due to the eating changes and excercise.

Its over a year now - and its not gone back on and im not going to the gym at the mo - i will get round to rejoining!

Last July i decided to go vegan - best decision ever as i feel so much healthier - IBS gone and feel much happier not eating any animal product :)

My friends on slimming worlds plan - the green days are very veggie friendly and well balanced and lots of vegan options too!

I eat choc still most days but just 1-2 cubes of dark choc which is much better than i use to be!

Alison :)

[kellyspiggies]

weldone

cut the fatty foods out and have a well balanced diet with exercise always works, just need the willpower or something to look forward to like im going on holiday i need to lose the weight b4 june

[gothchick1515]

Im insulin resistant, and she (my annoying dr) said i shouldnt have too much sugar and have three meals that are hig hin carbs and my mum heard this and i live with her so she worrys hehe i dont mind i love pasta

[kellyandpiggies]

me too.. consultants never said to eat things high in carbs! I'm on medication and injectable insulin

[gothchick1515]

O ouch no jabbies for me hehe i refuse hehe have type 2 with metformin which also helps my PCOS, she the evil one said if i loose weight and drop to 12 stone i will be diabetes free but i just cant do it i try buts its too hard hehe x

[StromasDragon]

Maybe we should have diet buddies my nurse say I have to lose 8 stone at least to be ''healthy'' a long way to go in fact i dunno what i weigh i look away when she weighs me. But I did ask her how much I need to lose.

[Lucinda]

Verity, if you do Atkins it can actull;y make diabetes go away - everyone thinks you need carb to control it, but not so. You will change the whole way your body works, it is a good diet for diabetics.

[kellyandpiggies]

agree with that..

Verity am on Metformin too.. Atkins (so I've read and been told) is a really good diet for controlling blood sugars.Like Lucinda says everyone thinks you need carbs to control it.. you don't so the diet will be really beneficial for you.

Am type 2 diabetic as well.

xx Mrs Player xx

[gothchick1515]

oooo may have to read up on that hehe but i have no idea how i will give up pasta! hehe my friend Kobies on it and she is a really nice size 12/14 i think hehe ill have to mention it too my mum because she buys the food and im guessin she'll flip lol my dad will hes all no no no just eat health and excersie hehe x

[kellyandpiggies]

oooh a size 12-14.. what's that? ??? can fit my arms in it but that's all! LOL ;D

[gothchick1515]

[kellyandpiggies]

[cashmincal]

[DebbieR]

Ok its fess up time. I think I need to lose about 7 or 8 stone to be a size 12-14 :-[ I've been on and off diets since I was 5 years old. Slim people give me advice on how to lose weight all the time and I say to them that you don't get this fat without dieting your whole life. Three times I have lost 3 or 4 stone only to put it all back on and more. I have tried every single diet out there from the Cambridge diet to Slimming World. I have never been so big and I wear horrible, badly made and over priced clothes that don't suit me just because they are the only ones that fit.

But do you know what? I have never been more content and happy with myself as I am now. Since I stopped caring what other people thought of me and just concentrated on being happy with myself and being the best person I could be, I have become so much happier. I have a gorgeous husband who loves me to bits and I have lovely friends. They are the only things that are important.

Of course I still try to lose weight. I do up to 9 hours exercise a week and try and watch what I eat but I don't let it take over my life. If you love yourself everyone else will too and the ones who don't are not worth a minute of your time or thoughts. :D

Concentrate on all the good things you have and the rest will come in time. Even if it doesn't, you won't care cos you'll be too busy being happy ;D

[kellyandpiggies]

I agree totally with you.. don't get me wrong by my posts.. I'm happy with the size I am and couldn't give a toss what other people think..

BUT - I have always wanted to be a little smaller and wear fashionable, 'decent' clothes.. ok the market for big girlies is increasing.. but it's for me that I want a bit to go..

Hubby loves me for who I am and keeps saying that he doesn't want me to change - I won't - it's just I want a bit of flab to go!

Also it may help us conceive quicker and easeir, so I've got to give it a try..

xx Mrs Player xx

[michellemuffin]

I'm type 2 diabetic as well and take 2 metformin daily which helped me to regulate my periods as i also have PCOS but if you have that its a vicious circle to lose weight because having pcos makes it harder to lose weight anyway, my DR says she feels fo rme as i ahve the 3 real medical reasons that make it harder to lose weight under active thyroid diabetes and pcos, infact a lady at weight watchers a few years ago told me to give up trying how nice of her was that,
I would love to get down to a 14 I'm creeping up to 18 now, and want to get healthy, I'm not particularly bothered what others think about me, my big worry is we are flying next march ( my first time) and I am bricking it and the thought of getting dvt because of being over weight worrys me sick, so am going to make a big effort, but the only real food I eat being veggie is eggs and cheese not into nuts and lentils etc, I enjoy salald and veggie and some fruit I only eat wholemeal nimble have done for years cant stand white bread feels like a dough ball in my mouth,
I use to have IBS for years but taking probiotic tablets have almost completly cleared me of it, thank goodness the pain was worse then child birth at times, I even asked my dr years ago to take my stomach out (what a nutcase I was but pain does that to you), I take quite a few vits and suplaments and think I have got some of my problems under control,
now i think its a case of getting off my butt and cutting out chocolate think i will lose weight that way,

[kellyandpiggies]

a vicious circle too for me as I can't exercise much as well as the PCOS and diabetes (what a pains we all are!)

So brave to go on a plane Michelle, I wouldn't have the bottle!

[Lucinda]

Debbie, I agree with what you have said. I am size 14 and moan about it because I want to be 12! But really it is who you are and what sort or person you are that matters. I know all you girls on this forum are super, kind people and I have seen pictures of some of you too and you are beautiful! And my vet says guineas are meant to be round - so let's pretend we are guineas!

Good luck with anyone who is on a diet - I am off Atkins at the mo but will be on it again soon !

[DebbieR]

We all want what we don't have. I've been a size 14 but I wasn't happy because I wanted to be a size 12. I lost 4 stone but I wasn't happy cos I still had a big tummy. Well, now I don't have to worry if the top I'm wearing doesn't look nice cos I know it doesn't and I never have to ask if my bum looks big in this cos I know it does. So the dress I'm wearing makes me look fat - so what! everything does. I don't care if my shoes are horrible - I can't see my feet ;D ;D I swear it has taken a lot of stress off me. As long as my hair is clean and shiny and looking lovely and my make up is perfect I'm happy. Who'd have thought that being this big would be easier eh? I suppose its how you look at things ;D
I have friends that are slim and beautiful but they spend their lives lurching from one bad relationship to another and being envious of me. So who is ever truly happy? I would rather have someone who loves me for who I am than no-one at all.

[StromasDragon]

I would love to be a comfy 16 Sniff a dream atm. I also got the 8 stone at least to lose.

[Michele]

WHATS PCOS?

[DebbieR]

Just take it one step at a time. If you think "oh God I've got 8 stone to lose" you'll give up before you start cos it seems like such an inachievable target. You can't imagine ever being able to shift that amount of weight so why bother trying right? But ½ a stone is do-able. 7 little pounds. At your weight, if you stuck to healthy eating and done some exercise, you could do that in 2 weeks, 3 at the most. From there a stone is just another couple of weeks away. Then people start noticing and you find you can move about better and that gives you in the incentive for the next ½ stone and so on ...... The only thing stopping you from achieving your goal is you. I'm full of great advice but I can't shift my weight either but then I don't try as hard as I should. I love kebabs and chips. I have the appetite of a bird......a vulture ;D
I will happily be your diet buddy. You can PM me anytime.

[michellemuffin]

PCOS is polycystic overy syndrome, when little cysts form on your overys, my scan looked like it was a string of pearls all around my overys, it causes you to gain weight easily and then make it hard to lose it again, your periods go haywire sometimes stopping altogther, you get greasy skin and your hair thins and you also get facial hair, not a very nice thing to have is it, but it also causes infertility, I was one of the lucky ones mine stayed so so while i was a size 14 and with clomid a fertility drug i managed to get pregnant he is now 21 I tried it gain for the 3rd one and stopped it after the dose got too high and feel pregnant the 1st son took 15 months to conceive the 4th 2 years and my daughter was a big surprise a month after coming off the pill, I conceived her accidently,
it runs with high blood pressure high colesterol and type 2 diabetes, all of which I have got but controlled with drugs, the bigger weight gain you have the more you are likely to be affected, I trhink i'm going to go thorugh the menopause soon or have already started Ia m 45 and have some symptoms so fingers crossed if my overys are dying off then the symptoms will go as well,
I am not very brave in this flying trip next march but to meet our cruise ship i have no choice as the stupid ship is in Barbados but is cruising back to southampton so its only one way but I am petrified of dvt,
my darling son Josh has got into watching why airplanes crash on sky. and enjoys watching me squirm when they go into detail, wicked little boy is'nt he??

[bevs]

That was really good advice you gave to Stromas, Deb. :)
Now I shall give my views, and please don't ask me to move my size 8 butt off of the thread ;D
I haven't always been a size 8, my biggest has been 16/18, highest weight while not pregnant is 12 1/2 stone approx. Not a lot you might say but i'm only 5ft 2in ;D

I wasn't happy like it , in fact it really depressed me. I had no confidence at all, hated buying clothes, used to come home and cry. Now I am around 8st 4 ish and have to work at staying here, it's no fun, I am obsessed with what I eat and drink, will do extra hours at the gym if i've eaten a bar of chocolate, I even locate gyms when planning holidays.

I'm still not happy with the way I look, with clothes its fine, naked, I'm a mass of saggy skin, I actually looked better overweight ;) So I agree with Lucinda no ones ever truly happy with their bodies, nothing a nip and tuck wouldn't solve though ;D

[kellyandpiggies]

A load of diet buddies we got here then! :D

[DebbieR]

Whether you've got 2 stone or 10 stone or if you have nothing to lose its how you feel about yourself that really matters at the end of the day. You have to do whatever it takes to make yourself truly content with you. Not your partner or your mum or the bloke in the pub that keeps making jokes about you. The only person you have to please is yourself. Everyone has different levels. Bev was miserable at 12½ stone. I'd kill to be 12½ stone. Everyone is different and that's what makes us all so wonderful in our own ways.

[DebbieR]

Yep we can all support each other ;D

[DebbieR]

Bev, even with all that exercise you still have saggy skin? Lord alone knows what I'd look like if I lost all my weight then. Is there no way that everything would just ping back into shape?

[StromasDragon]

I know losing they weight will not complete my life but it will help make it better. I have tried going it alone but I watch someone on MTV called MADE. One on of the shows the had a Girl about the same size at me (24) and her dream was to run in a race. Just done it but only because she had people around her to motivate her she had are own reason but needed that push to go the bit further she lost 24 pounds in a month. I think i need that kinda help. My nurse told me to join a slimming club and a gym but I am not confide enough to join a gym. Not to mention no money. Need to find of exercise i can do around the house but I am useless at that. HELP lol

[DebbieR]

I know what you mean. I wouldn't go near a gym. I wouldn't last 3 minutes. However I do 5 hours dancing a week and up to 4 hours walking without feeling it cos its fun - well the walking isn't but it costs £1.50 on the bus so its a matter of principal ;D

one hours line dancing for example burns up 519 calories

If I can't afford to go to a dance class. I put on a CD and spend an hour dancing to it. You can dance as crazily as you like cos no-one can see you. It is so much fun. Some of the moves I've come up with are just hilarious.

I've had sciatica twice so I stopped walking and exercising. I started off with a 10 minute walk round the block every night. Then I upped it to 15 and so on. It didn't take long for me to get to where I am.

[cashmincal]

O/T
Michelle, don't worry about flying there, it will be fine, and you can wear DVT socks (flight socks) if you are wondered about DVT. ;D Not even sure why I know this, but hey! ;D

[StromasDragon]

I want another dog when i was looking after my mums friends dog I had to take it on long walks. My dog however is very old and just waddles home ones she has done her stuff not much of a walk LOL

[bevs]

No it has lost the elasticity and therefore the ability to ping back, although the "apron" of skin on my tummy has greatly reduced widthwise, it will never go completely, and the more weight I lose the worse the skin gets. If I am on my hands and knees say doing press ups ;D The skin hangs down in like a W shape.

Next year though I want my tummy tuck, have told hubby we're not having a holiday.

Ooh by the way, don't forget the benefits of lifting weights to tone your body, also this will increase your metabolism and your calorie burning, you don't have to go to the gym you can do this at home with say 2 litre drinks bottles or use your own body weight as resistance, and you wont end up like the women who advertise the Virgin phones, well not unless you want to ;D

I'm actually starting to do a lot more lifting wise as I want bulk up a bit more, much to the horror of my son. "Eww gross mum, your muscles are bigger than mine!" ;D

[kellyandpiggies]

much to the horror of my son. "Eww gross mum, your muscles are bigger than mine!" ;D


LMAO - thats hilarious! ;D

[Michele]

I was the same as Bev. I was a 16/18 in 2002 and weighed over 12 stone I stopped weighing after i reached that weight. I was not happy at that weight either. my weight has always yoyo-ed but thsi is the first timein my life where i have been slim for longer. now 4 years and i have had another child in between that. Definitely perfer my size now.

If you want to exercise the cheapest and easiest weigh of exercising is just to go for a walk. Even if you have health problems. my grandad who a year ago had a stroke and finds to hard to walk gets out and walks 15 minutes even if its hurts him. Just go to the shop or to the park. You will lose weight that way.

Dont use the word diet either. I think that puts people off. I hate the word.

You need to change your way of eating and thinking to a healthy one. smaller meals, no naff stuff, loads of fruit and veg and very important to chew your food. If you chew better its stops your tummy from wroking so hard and then the bloat and puffy tummy goes down. I dont chew that well sometimes.


Also weights are good for you but it does depend on your body. I do alot of CV and i'm toned.

[DebbieR]

I'll have to get some tips off you about the lifting weights Bev. I do have to be careful though cos I can't lift anything heavy or do certain things in case it brings on the sciatica again and I really don't want to go through that again.

[kellyandpiggies]

If you want to exercise the cheapest and easiest weigh of exercising is just to go for a walk. Even if you have health problems.


Unless you're me, and you cant walk even with health problems! LOL ;D

[gothchick1515]

Michelle i have all three too, the thyroid the pcos nad the diabetes but my doc keeps screaming at me literally and reducing me to tears saying ill die if i dont lose weight but she is a consultant and should know that its harder for me someone didnt teach here bedside manner >:(

[Lucinda]

I get ****** off because I run three times a week,and when I get home I do 120 sit ups and 20 press ups. I also use weights a lot and it doesn't seem to make any difference at all, except I know I am fit and my muscles are great - remember muscle weighs more than fat, and nearly all professional athletes are "overweight" because of this. I am just about to take up squash again - that really makes you sweat - and buggers your hamstrings!

[kellyandpiggies]

Michelle i have all three too, the thyroid the pcos nad the diabetes but my doc keeps screaming at me literally and reducing me to tears saying ill die if i dont lose weight but she is a consultant and should know that its harder for me someone didnt teach here bedside manner >:(


That is horrible of your doctor to do that! If that was me she would get a gobfull back!

They must know themselves that losing weight is never easy!

[DebbieR]

OMG! verity if my doc spoke to me like that I'd be arrested for assault. Can't you change docs? There is no way you should be treated like that

[michellemuffin]

its awlful having a dr with a bad bedside manner is'nt it, my dr told me years ago after finding out i had had tests for MS in 92 that if he found out i had he would not tell me as he thought i would go down hill this was within half an hour of meeting him, now i am going through the tests again because i lost use of my right arm last year for about 5 months another dr sent me to neurologist and he said yep you have MS now to get the proof, so here i am now
every time i went back to him for sevear tiredness I had a blood test done 1st was PCOS 2nd was diabetes 3rd was underactive thyroid, then high blood presure then high colesterol, I said no way am seeing him again he keeps finding things wrong with me, lol
but you really should'nt put up with being treated like that, I just see another Dr at the surgery, the Dr should know just by saying you will die if you dont do this etc is madness that just adds to depression because you know how very hard it is to lose the weight with these health problems,
when ever i ask about losing weight they just say yes we'll get this probelm sorted first and dont seem too bothered, but i know I want to be fit and despite my health problems (I also have chronic degenerative arthirtis and spondelothesis of my back) I am determined to lose some this year, I think a lot of women get very depressed and down and lose their confidence because of being made to feel we're not the right body size or weight,
and another thing i cannot believe Kate Moss is thought to be beautiful she is sooooo ugly scrawny and frog eyes ( not just my opinions) I think the avergae size should be more like 14 and have you seen posh ugh she looked much better when she had some weight and short hair, just after Brooklyn was born,
well my *****ings done lol we're all beautiful in our own ways have you never thought why the old paintings are all of chubby ladys they were thought beautiful, big thighs big baggy boobs and big tummys if they were not beautiful why were they painted, ::)

[bevs]

big thighs big baggy boobs and big tummys ::)


Who's been painting me? LMAO

[kellyandpiggies]

[gothchick1515]

Nope i cantbecause im with NHS and they dont have any wish i could shes quite old maybe shell retire soon lmao x

[gothchick1515]

As for giving her a gobful my mum comes with me and she gives me evils annnnnd always nods along with the dr! even though im in tears >:(

[kellyandpiggies]

[kellyandpiggies]

[kellyspiggies]

i had my son at 16, not planned but it is right dont judge someone im one of the lucky ones i had a family that supported me and im still with my partner (father of both my kids) we will be together for 10 years this august. the reason why your friend is so muture is that she has to be it makes you grow up and you miss your teen years and go straight to the 20's but i wouldnt change a thing

[claire]

yeah i agree with you kelly.

my partner Matt is a big believer in getting married before having kids but i had a miscarrage a few years ago and ever since i have wanted a baby so much

Love

Thats great that your together though i dont see that for my friend her boyfriend isn't well he needs to grow up at the moment hes in jail, wont see his baby for another few months, my cousin Jo had her baby at 16 and shes 35 and still with her husband so it does work hehe x

Well done you ;D

Love
Claire

[bevs]

Well done ;D Wish I could try it but couldn't do without my carbs ;)

[kellyandpiggies]

Doing quite well at the mo with no carbs! :) :)

[Lucinda]

have you started induction?

[kellyandpiggies]

whats that? Havent read more than 4 pages! LOL, not had carbs for 2 days now!

Will read more and do it properly

[Lucinda]

do read it because you will see how it all works and it helps you understand what you're doing to your body, which is a huge change from sugar-burning to fat-burning. KILL THAT FAT - MAKE IT SUFFER

[kellyandpiggies]

Will do love... Make a start on monday cos I know for a fact that my mum wont take off spuds from dinner tomorrow! We.re at theirs, their turn! LOL

[Lucinda]

have a good carb blow out tomorrow - then you'll feel so yuck you'll be desperate for sausages ;D
staple food of Atkins ;D

[kellyandpiggies]

LOL - wont over do it - not really missing them at the mo! :)

[DebbieR]

I come from an Irish family so I want to know - if you can't eat spuds and bread what do you eat? ???

You say you get to eat a lot of sausages on this diet? That's got my attention ;D

[gothchick1515]

I have decided i want to try atkins, what websites, books etc do i need to read first ?? x

[DebbieR]

oh by the way - well done Lucinda ;D

[bevs]

You say you get to eat a lot of sausages on this diet? That's got my attention ;D


LMAO ;D x x

[Lucinda]

Debbie, you eat meat, cheese, eggs, fish, butter, cream, olive oil - as much as you want
then a certain amount of specific veg and salad - it's quite a lot really!

no fruit (during the first two weeks, but sometimes I am naughty and have a bit of melon)
no grains (pasta, bread, rice etc)
obviously no chocolate!

as many sausages as you can eat!

[gothchick1515]

NO CHOCOLATE! oh lucinda how do you do it lol theres no way id cope x

[kellyandpiggies]

Starting it on Saturday for sure.. Got a few things to get out the way first then I can concentrate on the diet

[Lucinda]

It's really not that bad because you feel good because your blood sugar is so well controlled. If you're interested get the "Dr Atkins New Diet Revolution" It's the book with the bright orange cover. There is also a website -www.atkinscenter.com (center spelt the American way)

Good luck!

[DebbieR]

But don't you feel all bunged up with all that meat and dairy?

[Lucinda]

not at all. It's the carbs that make you so heavy and bloated ;D

[DebbieR]

Really? But don't all the medical experts tell you that its red meat that clogs your arteries?

[Lucinda]

that's complete bollocks. ;D The danger is eating the combination of high carb and fat. Fat alone is very good for you.

Remember Dr Atkins was a cardiologist first and foremost and knew all about arteries etc. If you are unsure read the book because it explains how it all works. You will notice your BP and cholesterol etc go down on Atkins - mine do!

[kellyandpiggies]

nicely put Lucinda! ;) ;)

[DebbieR]

It just seems way too good to be true. I'm a complete carnivore and can't believe you're allowed to eat all that :o

[Lucinda]

it is too good to be true! and you lose weight! go for it, girl!

[DebbieR]

Do you know. I might just try it ;D

[kellyandpiggies]

Will be starting the diet saturday, if not Monday.. saw my diabetic nurse the other day and she said it was a great diet to go on and should be able to see results in less than a week.. She also said that I should be on it for no longer than a month at a time..

So it may work out to be a month on, month off diet!

[michellemuffin]

did you start the diet Kelly ? I'm starting slimming world tuesday after Easter of course, and am also getting the treadmill started up again I was good last year with doing half hour every night managing 2 miles and intedn doing so again, will put my ipod on and get into it, fingers crossed I will lose 3 stone before next march, if not before, hubbys the only one who knows I'm doing it because when ever i go with anyone else they always leave after a while so I dont want any thing like that to put me off, only **** is I have to walk past a chip shop on way home, this is where my will power has got to be strong,

[michellemuffin]

Good luck Kelly ;D

Michellemuffin: Slimming world is great, loved green days, Batchelors Pasta n Sauce is free food, yum! ;D
Lost 3 stone doing it, so give it a go ;D


have taken your advice and start next tuesday I'm going to eat so much chocolate this weekend I will be sick of it, lol have already got the pasta n sauce in ready, any more tips? I want to lose 3 stone as well, how long did it take you?

[kellyandpiggies]

haven't started yet Michelle.. Will surely be Tuesday now because of easter! Not that I eat much choccie anyway!

It will happen! ;)
