Put one foot in front of the other, repeat, quickly.
 Pot as many balls as you can. |

LOL - I don't diet - But long time ago I piled up some weight on and after a year or so of trying all sort of diets and calorie counting - I came across a system of food diary. Eating breakfast everyday has decreased my need to snack and enabled me to regulate my cravings for snacks.
I know it is not easy to lose weight but one thing for sure - diets do not work long term.

two weeks in today and feeling great. 3.5lb down so on target with the weight loss. I haven't felt this healthy in years and people have already started commenting on how well I look and that my skin looks more youthful  It's not a struggle at all and I don't feel like I'm depriving myself of anything - quite the opposite in fact. I decided at the start that I would allow myself one 'treat' (i.e. 'bad' food) a week. This week I was away overnight on Monday on a business trip, and my 'treat' was going to be cooked breakfast in the hotel. However, when it came to it, I just couldn't face it and had cereal and fruit instead - it's like my body is already rebelling against the junk and saying 'no - keep giving me the good stuff'. Another strange side effect is that I'm smoking a lot less. Before I was getting through about 15 a day, and it's down to under 10 now. That's not something I've done consciously. I do intend to stop smoking at some point in the near future, but didn't want to tackle the food issue and the smoking at once. It's given me a lot of confidence that when the time comes to pack in the fags that I will succeed. |

Four and a half weeks in and going well. At last weigh-in (Saturday) I had lost exactly half a stone in 4 weeks, so just about the rate I was hoping for. It hit me when I got my shopping delivered this week how much I really have made a change for the good. My weekly shop used to consist of jars of sauces, ready meals and chocolate. All they had to deliver this week was lots of lovely fruit and veg, fresh meat and fish, and I really can't imagine going back to my old ways now I've got into the habit of preparing and eating good food. Just got back from a lunchtime shopping trip as my old jeans were literally falling off me, so I've now dropped one dress size as well |

Well done Claire. Isn't it great to succeed at something that makes you look better and feel better at the same time?

Thanks guys. Maureen, I think that's the key to my success thusfar - there really is no willpower required because everything I'm eating now is just so tasty I don't feel like I'm depriving myself of anything - quite the opposite in fact For anyone else thinking of adopting a healthier eating regime, I can highly recommend 101 Low Fat Feasts - £3.99 from Sainsbury's  |
