Rhapsody Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 I did that. Went on a bender in London and lost 5 lb that week- considered patenting the Mojito and Kebab diet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jillus Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Now this is beginning to sound more like my sort of thread. My friend also went on a champagne diet and managed to lose three days and far too many £'s!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 I lost 2 pounds last week, my 1st week doing weight watchers on my own, no classes just the books. I weighed myself last night - my chosen weighing night. I'm very pleased. Emma.x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moochoo Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Brilliant Emma! You're so good to do this at home and not go to a group. How've you been finding the diet itself? It's obviously working for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Well done Emma! - keep coming back here for support, it really does help. I lost another 1lb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Webmuppet Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I've lost 9lb since New Year Just by not eating bad things, cutting out the booze and eating less. I agree the BMI thing is not very good. I too am short and stocky and they always tell me I am overweight even when there's barely an once of fat on me ( usually happens in the summer when I cycle everywhere, sail several times a week). My Dad is an ex rugby player and suffers the same problem - he's really fit and hardly any flab and yet he's allegedly overweight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Thanks everyone - & well done to everyone else. I've found it really easy so far, but I'm stuck what to cook for tea tonight. Something quick & easy - no chicken, as we don't eat chicken. I did think about a nice stir fry. I'm just going to look through my recipe books.

Its from a weight watchers 30 minute cookbook. Roll on tea time!!! Emma.x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moochoo Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I started my new group tonight. It's a collaboration of different groups that have been wittled down to one or two. All the women had lost vast amounts of weight from 5 to 11 stone. We had a great councelling session with a good discussion on what are the signs of true hunger. At this point I thought I don't think I've ever really been hungry. It was like a lightbulb had gone on in my head. We'd all experienced the signs of being dehydrated, headachey, light headed but not ravanously hungry. Of course we all suffered from emotional hunger and hunger at ritualisic times, i.e. it's my 1pm lunch break therefore I am hungry. I've learnt so much about why I used to eat excessively or wrongly. Anyway, I had a great weight loss of 6lb taking me over 7 stone lost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moochoo Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Yes we're going to the market but I'm sure we'll see you before the Sheffield do. We're going to try and make more of the market meets, can't hide away forever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Erm, I think that Steve Wright (DJ) needs to take notice of your excellent examples - did you see the pics of him in the paper yesterday? How he used to look: I was peering at the pictures upside down and first thought that it was some sort of wind up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy chickens! Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 You're all doing so well - apart from steve wright, perhaps he should join in! - and me, cos i keep making things like sponge and brownies and nibbling them. I do get hungry though - empty tummy feelings, very weak, cross and that need to eat!! and it's not dehydration cos i drink plenty (and not alcahol usually either!!) So if there's any ideas for what works when you're really really hungry, bring them on!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moochoo Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 I thought I was hungry too when in fact it was the low after a carb high! One of the things that I've learnt from abstaining from food is how sugar and ceratin carbs really affects your hunger and moods. Not that I was a hideous monster before I did have moments of 'emotion' for no reason, mainly due to carb abuse. I think I will be following a low GI index diet to maintain my weight. I really don't want to return to being dependant on quick release carbs like I have certainly been in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhapsody Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 i think that is spot on moochoo- if I have a poached egg sandwich for breakfast I'm not hungry til lunchtime, have 2 pancakes and I'm ravenous by 11 for a point more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jillus Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Woo Hoo, I have now lost 10lbs since January 1st. Only a week to go until I go on holiday and I am feeling fab! Loads of great tips on this thread, keep up the good work all my fellow losers! My best tips: Have a good breakfast ( 2 poached eggs on toast ) have lots of good home made veg soup and have a treat a day. Mine has been two squares of chocolate a night. And if you fall off the waggon now and again just climb back on again! Last weekend as I already wrote I had a bit of a blip but am now right on track again. And this is my 201st post too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
