Just wanted to say thank you to NHS for the weight loss and couch to 5k programme

It's taken almost 7 months but I have gone from 15 stone to 11.6 buy sticking with the plan

I still have a little more to loose for my nurse to be happy with me but I intend to stick with the plan and make it a lifestyle

Well done! Sounds like you have the right idea for long term success and I'm sure your nurse is already very happy with your achievements :)

I reached target last autumn, which was to each a healthy BMI starting from obese BMI at the beginning of the year. Since then I have been carrying on keeping an eye on my diet and kept up my exercise levels. I have been eating at around 2000kcal per day, and I am still losing weight slowly at around 1kg a month. This is fine by me as I would be happy a little more to the middle of the healthy weight range and don't care if it takes a while to get there. Just thought I'd share in case it helps planning what to do once you reach your goal!

Thanks for sharing your success.

Yep

I do have a specific weight in mind that I would like to get to but it doesn't really matter as I am simply allowing my diet to do the work for me

I am not intending to change my diet, I am sure that if i did I would put all my weight back on in a matter of days

Here hoping for the best

Well done, I'm new to calorie diets as have previously done weight watchers and was very successful but I'm looking for a change as I was getting stuck in a boring routine. Can I ask how any calories a day you stuck to? All different sites give different figures x

I also tried weight watchers and found myself getting hungry

What I did notice about weight watchers was that fruit and veg had very low if any points

I am not a vegetarian I eat Salmon twice a week and have a boiler egg almost everyday but I am avoiding other meats for the time being

I don't know how many calories I intake my guess is about 1800 to 2000

However, any diet is boring if you cut out cream cakes and Pringles

What I have found is that you have to make the most of the things you can eat and be adventurous with them

After trying many diets over the last 20 years the point at which I started to loose weight was the point that I Mande a food choice based on health rather than on taste

Because I eat a lot of fruit and veg the amount of food I eat has gone up a lot

Personally I like mangoes papaya and advocado and I now like cauliflower bean sprouts and roasted egg plant

Hi Sadit

One of the big problems I faced when starting this diet was getting hungry

Every other diet I had tried over the past 20 years left me feeling hungry and consequently not wanting to be on the diet and then making bad food choices

So to begin with I wanted breakfast to be a big meal. I have oats for breakfast Quaker or Scott's rolled oats, not the ones with added flavours the natural ones

Personally I have 3 1/2 tablespoons with a cup of water all boiled up and a chopped banana in the bowl, no added sugar or salt or anything

You can add as much fresh fruit as you want to sweeten it up if you want to

I eat a lot of fruit and veg and over the last 7 months I have rarely been hungry and have been losing about 1-2 lbs per week sometimes I have eaten so much I say to myself that there is no way I could have lost weight and found that Iost as much as lbs
