Good luck Susan- I've lost 11 pounds in 4 weeks so it does work!

Well done! Is that healthy eating alone, or was calorie counting involved? Well done anyway!

Thanks Susan, I see the healthy eating and the calorie counting really as the same thing. We ate fairly healthy food anyway- just in big portions! Since calorie counting we've realised that we don't need so much meat (been trying to tell my OH this for years!) and things like ready sauces for pasta and curry are no nos now- we make our own from scratch, and it isn't difficult.

The calorie counting can be a chore- but it has helped. We leave the scales out so it's easy to weight stuff, we read all the labels, and we write everything down! I tot up the meals as I go through the day- that way you don't get a shock at the end and sometimes we can even have treat!

Our kitchen is full of bits of paper with numbers scribbled on- I've never done so much maths- but I figure it is best to be strict at home then we can relax about it when we go out and not be dieting bores!

Good luck- let me know how you get on.
