Weighed myself this morning and discovered I have lost a fifth of the Excess Baggage.
Woohoo!
<checks previous messages in thread> Glad to hear Slimming World is working for you, Boogie, but I plan to stick with 5:2. I've done low-carb diets before and find them both less effective and harder to stick to than 5:2.

Well done you!
I wonder if the 5:2 would work for me - I'm far too fond of bread, rice, pasta and potatoes to be any use at low-carb diets.
Must do some investigating.

I found the 5:2 worked really well for me. I just need to find the motivation to start doing it again!

It's not suitable for everyone, Piglet. My daughter wouldn't be able to do it, for example - quite apart from the fact that it's unsuitable for children and teenagers, she'd be having migraines every fast day. It's not recommended for diabetics either.

A good result in Slimming World this morning - lost 4.5 lb, so have lost 1.5st since New Year. I was slimmer of the week and also won the "loss pot" draw and won a veg cutter which would have been very useful on Wednesday as we did a ratatouille to go with baked potatoes. Our future daughter in law has PKU, intolerance to protein, so when she's with us, we eat vegitarean.
