How is everyone doing ??

[jackx03]

I need inspirational comments saying this works as logically I know it must. I was doing a high protein diet but I got so bored of limited foods I gave up. Im doing this as I am looking at donating a kidney for a friend and high protein isn't good for the kidneys. If I am a match I want some weight off before I go under the knife so recovery will be quicker.

So as I said How is every one doing ??

I'm just coming to the end of the first week and due to weigh tomorrow but its looking like 7lbs already, it has been really easy to stick to I also used the hairy dieters book for inspiration . Hubby has even made some meals from it that we're delicious. Good luck with everything.

[jackx03 in reply to Prin]

wow you are doing well are you counting calories ??

[Prin in reply to jackx03]

Kind of, I find it too much of a faff to count home made stuff so I guess and just read ingredients. Monday to Thursday I only eat a significant amount of calories on my daily evening meal, I guess even if it is around 800 that's fine, I try and exercise off the other 300 ish cals as a minimum, lucky I live a 30 min walk brisk from work I work 4 days so that is 4 hours a week of useful exercise, i have always done classes so i try to aim for 5 a week, doing some toning which I think has made a big difference. Fri- Sun I am a bit more relaxed and drink wine and gin may have a breakfast or lunch over the weekends in addition to my solitary evening meal. It seems to work for me but I can't say it would be everyone's cup of tea!
