Seems like ur doing good!!
If u find yourself becoming hungry during the day.. Snack on celery , carrot sticks , 'bran' crackers ect
Also if u find meals not filling you add extra veg or salad
Another thing i changed the milk to the red top one with no fat .. I was using the green one that made a diff
Natural yoghurt on branflakes with fruit is so yummy!!
(i did weightwatchers im 5'9 - 10 lol and was a size 16 went down to a 12 )
Also if u exercise situps are the best!!!
Good luck seems like ur doing fab!!

Your doing great!!

I'm the same as you & linx - I am 5ft 3 & somewhere around 13/14 stone (one week I weigh im 14.1 next im 13.10) so im around the 14 mark anyway. And coz im small i look massive!!

I've done it before, I lost over 5 stone about 3 years ago, so I know I can do it - doesn't help me get motivation tho - i'm now 1 stone away from the biggest I was back then, it makes me depressed to know i've put it on again.

I used calorie counting then & it worked well.

I have heard lots of good things about WW. I would do it myself but I know CC works for me & its cheaper. I tried SF & didn't like it at all & I kept thinking....what will happen when I go back to 3 normal meals a day, I need to make this a life change. Or I'll do what I did before, lose it all & put it all back on.

How about a christmas challenge type of thing??

We can see what we can lose for a good xmas night out?

xxxxxxxx

Thanks, the shorter we are the bigger we look and yes it is bloody depressing I've not tried WW but slim fast did work but the problem is sticking to it, I'm CC at the mo, i was gonna do slim fast again but it does cost a bit. I Was wanting to lose a stone for the summer but i doubt that's gonna happen i set a target for the 16 of July. I'd love to be a size 12 for Christmas no smaller i want to keep some curves but at the mo i will be so happy getting down to a size 14 I'm the same i weigh myself one day and I'm around 12st 9lb then i do it the next day and I'm 12st 10 and a bit!! I was 12st 8lb 2 days ago but today i was 12st 10 I'm having a weigh in day on Friday morning's your welcome to join in if you want? x (wow 5 stone well done, but it's so easy to put on and so hard to lose it)

 

[mopmum4X]

A couple of brews
Lunch, cup a soup with a bit of seeded bread
Naughty snack was a homemade cookie, i had to have a taste cos i did make them lol

Your doing great with eating, how many cals are you having. I used to be on a weight loss forum & there used to be challenge threads where we all put our goals, and weekly loss ect. For example we'd do a christmas challenge or halloween or easter. And we all did diff diets. The ppl cal counting had a more consistent loss (I noticed) because its more like a life change, and more is allowed, i'd be having chinese take-aways once a week & pizzas & bingeing on chocolate days & because I allowed myself to do it, I always lost. I started off on SF & I did the cereal diet for a while & I lost loads. Its basically cereal for b.fast & lunch & a proper dinner, its not great to do it for ages but it works wonders, I started swapping the lunch cereal for soup as I noticed some soup had lower cals & that worked too. Infact I lost more weight doing that. It really shrinks your stomach and totally fills you. I think i was losing around 7lbs every 2 weeks. I have an old diary I could check. But yeah at the start it comes off quickly but its hard to see the end result you cant picture it therefore think it cant happen. IT CAN....its wierd coz...if we knew what we would look & feel like as a smaller weight, we'd be more motivated but we cant see it & see it as something we might not be able to do......but we can. Its a law of science, you eat less you lose weight. Its just time consuming & there is NEVER quick results. I know you want to lose weight for July & I think its possible.....granted it might not be alot but i'd imagine if you really tried & upped the exercise a wee bit you could lose a stone maybe slightly more.

I'm having between 1200-1400 Cal's but some days maybe 1500, all depends on what sauce i pu on my salad or much butter i have on my spud's, it's really surprising how much Cal's are in just a couple off spoonfuls, i don't have a lot anyway but it all adds up. Today i had naff all really but I've just had my tea which was mash, carrots, peas, broccoli, chicken and 4 small roast spuds, that was about 850 Cal's, I'm bloated now. To be honest i might just go on a salad and fish diet, something that wont bloat me, but saying that i feel bloated all the bloody time even when I've only had a brew or some soup, it's so annoying. I really think i can do this but i need to find the right foods, and yes i need to be doing MORE exercise , yes I'm really hoping to lose weight for the summer hols it sound stupid but if i was smaller I'll have more confidence so I'll be out much more with my kids over the hols and enjoy wearing clothes that fit and to be more healthy, not get out of breath after 5 mins of running around lol i might try the cereal diet for a couple of week's just to lose my bloat, but like you said its a law of science eat less lose weight thanks for your great words by the way they really make sense, i will do this xx
