Anyone know of any? i love my food, especially crisps and chips and pizzas and chinese nom nom!

xXx

Eat smaller portions, eat less fatty and sugary foods especially, exercise more, drink loads of water.

five a day and dont go over calorie allowance

i tried that suz and it didnt do anything for me but then again everyone different how they react good luck x

really cas ?!?! Oh dear.... well i'll give it a go anyway.. have got them now... will let you guys know how it goes.

TBH I struggle with the 6 small portions a day as I have a sit down meal with H2B in the evening (although I do have smaller portions than him) I just stick to eating sensibly, allow the occasional snack (especially if I need feel good food) and ensure you get your 5 a day and exercise plenty.

You could try doing other activities like aqua-aerobics, dance classes, martial arts, etc extra which what I'm currently looking into in my local area. :)

I want to join Slimming world or weightwatchers or similar and would like some recommendations from anyone who has attended and your views on them? It's difficult because I'm older so weight is tougher to shift and excersise is limited due to Rheumatoid Arthritis. I only want to lose a stone. Has anyone been to any slimming clubs that have been successful? xxx

Thanks hun xx

i'm semi following weight watchers and it's fab......in the new year i plan to do it religiously and exercise likee crazy. I just wanna look the very best i can and feel amazing! Weight watchers i'd def reccommend along with eating smaller portions and exercising!

Its cliche but calorie controlled diet and excercise. It actually works and it stays off

I'm doing Rosemary Conley because i get the exercise within it and if i dd go i would be able to do the exercise.
I'm starting to tone up and feel better in myself.
Just hoping i can lose enough before the big day

I did try slimming world a few months back after my brother joined and lost 8lb in 2 weeks, but i just could not get on with it, was a lot harder to understand and i did not like the meeting where leader got people up to say how much they lost or put on, and you have to say want you will loss the following week.
I have a few tips to loss weight, put a photos of yourself that you dont like on your fridge and cupbroads, so every time you go to eat something you will see the photo and it will make you think twice about eating rubbish, try a smaller dinner plate, Drink a pint of ice cold water half an hour before you have a meal, it will fill your tummy up.Listen to your body stop eating as soon as you feel full, exercise is key i think, even if your only walk more. Good luck ladies. x

If you like pizzas and chinese takeaways then it's about trying to ease the cravings for greasy foods. I found going vegetarian temporarily and drinking clear soups (i.e. lack of grease, cream, cheese and high carb foods), after an initially hard couple of days eventually meant I stopped wanting to eat greasier foods, meat, sweets, choc. Drank clear soup or water when I was hungry- often we're just thirsty when we think we're hungry. Combine any diet with a bit of exercise- running up and down the stairs, jogging, cycling, walking the dog- all helps. xo

If anyone needs any help getting motivated and ready for the big day, please check out my website: ****************
We offer moderate and intense "Get fit for the big day" courses. This is a 6 week training program and includes a diet and nutrition plan.

You will be amazed with the results.

I am a sucker for Chinese food, too- but I've discovered that Vietnamese and Korean food are also absolutely delicious, but MUCH healthier in the way they are prepared.

Here's a tasty low fat sweet and sour chicken recipe, too:
