it seems to be working then... :-)

well...

i have been at this for a couple weeks or so now and it seems to be working. my boyf weighed me this morning, having weighed me last week, (because we decided we needed to see progress as i was starting to get jittery having sworn off the scales- he is more scientific and wanted to support me by showing me proof, well, it was a 50/50) and i do seem to be losing very well. i noticed i seemed to be feeling a bit smaller and now the scales confirm it.

i have dying to get out, but been ill for ages now, unable to do anything, in a lot of pain, so really in trouble . this weight loss has been with no exercise at all . in bed or on the couch. but i have been taught by the visit nurse some fantastic stretch exercises i can do from in bed. which are helping me feel fitter .

so, i have been eating pretty healthily but not without treats at all. its not sustainable without the odd bag of M&Ms or burger and fries. but generally its my '5 a day' and lean meat and actimel and whatever carb i want. i eat what i fancy. i eat when i am hungry and don't when i don't. i have cut out booze. i am one stone off my goal and 2 stone off my ultimate goal.

it is not hard, not at all. and i wish i had done it years ago. no books. no money spent. no idiots telling me what to do. no people talking down to me. to buy special shakes or products. just sensible eating. cutting out most of the baddies. its just common sense. sugar is my enemy. its an addiction for me. i am doing quite well with that.

that is my experience so far. i am willing to do this long term. i will go for it. i don't think i will give up. i can't envisage that at the moment.

i eat when i want to. i follow no rules. only my own. i believe one should trust ones own body, not what diet industry millionaire mogul facist dictators order us to do in their books and dvds. i have so had enough of years of that. lol. it was all such an uphill struggle mentally and physically. i would also much rather be my own boss.

good luck and if i can do it after years of trying, so can you xx

Very well done mysecret2016 😊

I'm so pleased things are working out for you 😊

thanks guys... working out so far...so far!... lol... but yes, i feel pretty comfy in the losing 1.5 (hoping for 2) lbs per week zone. and yes, i am having a burger tonight ! the difference is, i am not having a burger, large fries, a bar of chocolate, or two. and, i must say coming off my ghastly pills which had a horrendous affect on my weight, has helped me i think.

ps. this is really a very non invasive happy forum. i tend to read and not post, but well done admin !

Hallo my secret 2016 it sounds like you have the right mindset to be able to reach your goals. I too have tried the fat clubs but thought I would save my money and give this a whirl. I write a food diary which helps me to keep track of everything that goes in my mouth. I only lost 1 lb in the first week but am hoping for another loss this week. I am sorry that you are unable to get out and about. Keep up the good work. 😊
