Gggrrr - the last 2 weeks have caught up with me and I gained 2 ½ lbs this week.
Still only ½ lb over my goal weight, but I don't want it to be the beginning of the slippery slope...
Keep at it ship-mates....

I'm not weighing myself at the moment. I'm still doing 5:2 twice a week, but over compensating the rest of the time. In the Irish shop in Clermont yesterday I found a shelf of Cadbury's chocklit. I bought a 200g bar of Cadbury's Caramel, fully intending to share it with Mr D, but somehow I seem to have guzzled a raher large quantity of it already and Mr D doesn't even know about it!

A friend of ours in Belfast always maintained that Cadbury's chocklit bought in the Irish Republic was different, and superior, to that bought in the UK, so we'd always bring him some if we went south.
For myself, I prefer Galaxy, which I can't get here. That's maybe just as well ... ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

Me too, except I'm not sure if I can qualify my poor eating as a "lapse"- if anything the diet is more an infrequent lapse from overeating than the other way around!

I'm taken with this concept. I've always had food issues but it's been worse for the past couple of years following two bereavements.
I'm trying hard to keep focused now; in the past I'd have told myself there's no point starting any sort of weight loss plan now until after Christmas but I'm determined to make the next few weeks count. Without being obsessed with the scales.

Horrible, horrible sore throat. In the last 48 hours I have eaten - three tins of Campbells condensed soup, two honey and banana smoothies, three chocolate mousses, a tin of rice pudding, several glasses of milk, several mugs of hot chocolate and three lemsips. Oh, and a family-sized trifle.
Meh. The family-sized trifle was not my finest hour.
I'm not even hungry. I just want something which will slide soothingly down my poor sore throat.

I am just recovered from one of those. Honey (and whisky) ought really not to contain calories, when taken medicinally.

Or if you can afford it you could try manuka honey (at least factor 12+). I had a really horrible sore throat about six weeks ago and discovered half a spoonful of that allowed to dissolve in the mouth every one to two hours helped a lot. It's still calories, of course, but better than eating several packets of cough sweets...
And it costs so much you won't be tempted to binge on it. At least, I wasn't.

My pet sore throat/cold remedy is to make up Lem-sip/Neo Citran or similar, and add lemon juice, Manuka honey and a wee drop of whisky to make it palatable, then go to bed and let it work.

I have lost 20 pounds this year and have kept it off. I do live an active life, but getting below 14 stone (currently weigh about 193 lbs.) is largely due to a slightly modified Atkins Diet. I have not gained weight after holidays this year.

I have also gone for low carb, but not Atkins - just cutting down seriously on carbs and sugar and upping cheese, nuts etc.

What foods can people recommend as filling while low on calories ? I don't find lettuce and similar at all filling.
I am not over weight as such but trying to lose some as I'm doing a half marathon in February and will run better if I can shift a few pounds. Planning to try a couple of days a week having 1000 calories or fewer.

Veggie soups/ veggie stews. You don't need to fry the onions to soften them first. I guess lentils and other pulses are good too, but I don't know their calorie values.

Thanks for the book suggestion, Dormouse. I've ordered it to help me keep on track next year.
I'm going to try and eat sensibly for the next two weeks so I don't put on too much of the weight I've lost over the last month.

I haven't done any fast days for about 4 weeks. Just got out of the habit with Christmas stuff around. I haven't lost any more weight. OTOH I haven't put any on - not an ounce. I've lost in the region of 2 stone and I'm within spitting distance of official healthy weight. I think I've been consuming around 1500 calories a day so this must be my maintenance level. I usually manage 7 or 8 of my five-a-day but my exercise level varies between moderate and bugger-all. All told however, I think I'm healthier.

I've just got Paul McKenna's new book, Freedom from Emotional Eating . I've done many diets before, but none have really addressed the underlying issues of overeating. As well as the hypnotic trance CD, the book contains a DVD and a number of techniques for dealing with the emotional side of overeating.
This afternoon, I was panicking about going back to work tomorrow, as I know the next month could be very stressful. I did one of Paul's exercises several times and the panic changed to a feeling of excitement. I then did it again and am now feeling very calm. So far, I'm very impressed and hopeful of good results.

Oops double posted (but I have been to bed in between, hope tha is OK.)
1 1/2 on since my last weigh in, which makes 2 1/2 over "Goal". Not a total disaster then, and I should be able to get it sorted in a couple of weeks or so.
How is everyone else?

After various unsuccessful attempts at losing weight last year, which generally petered out after a few pounds which were then regained, I have joined Weightwatchers Online. In the past I did Weightwatchers under the old Points system and it worked well for me. Problem is although I've still got all the materials I don't have the motivation to keep it up by myself. The reasoning for joining online is that I AM PAYING MONEY for it. And if I don't actually do it, that is a waste. And we are not really in a position to waste money unnecessarily. So I have to stick with it to justify the expense. Does that kind of make sense?!

It makes a lot of sense to me as it is exactly what I did 3 years ago. I lost 3 stone in 18 months but a holiday in Alsace was not a good start to maintenance. I have put half of it back on and am regretting getting rid of the clothes that were too big for me...
I really must get serious about WW again.

I'm impressed that people can get through a day on 500 calories. I have not been able to manage that, I have done about 800 or 900. But on other days I have also cut back a bit by not having pasta, didn't eat any chocolate over Christmas, or drink any alcohol, and have lost 6 pounds in 6 weeks. 3 or 4 more in the next month would put me at 11 stone which is a good racing weight for my half marathon.

I got round to weighing myself today. I keep a record of my weight in a small notebook, & over last year I managed to lose 4kg in total. There was some up-again movement, but mostly it has been a slow downward move. Considering there were three or four months in total where I didn't watch my weight, I suppose it's nt too bad. I do have to keep going now though.
Things are becoming serious-ish. I'm reducing the amount eaten usually, plus continuing with my 5:2 days. Today is a fast day so Hairy Dieters Crispy Chicken for dinner tonight + salad and a bowl of HM veggie soup for lunch. Hopefully I will survive on that! Here's the recipe from someone's blog if you'd like to try it.

First week of WW done. 4lb lost. Stuck to my points apart from one day where it all went wrong! We had friends over for dinner and I ate too much then. Also I thought I'd treat myself and allow myself to have some toast at breakfast and lunchtime. Bad mistake! Problem is that carbs just send my blood sugar swinging for the day. So although I've eaten a similar number of points I get hungry before the next meal. And I don't mean rumbling stomach sort of peckish, that I can easily ignore. My problem is when my blood sugar starts dropping and I feel light headed and shaky, then I have to eat.
Sadly I realise that I am so much better off if I make sure I take most of my points in protein and fat until my main meal in the evening. But I do get rather bored of cheese omelet for breakfast every day! I miss bread and I have a weakness for biscuits and cakes!

I have taken - with remarkable fortitude I must say - to having porridge for breakfast. Those little sachets you microwave with milk: started with the sweetened ones and have now moved on to the Hard Stuff - albeit with some chopped banana. It's OK as long as your can eat it while it's still hot. Once it cools, the wallpaper paste thing kicks in again.

I don't bother buying the microwaveable porridge - it's just as easy to buy a box of porridge oats and microwave it yourself. 2 oz oats to 0.5 pint liquid (I normally use skimmed milk but it's OK with water as well), microwave on full power in 2-minute bursts (stir after each zapping) until it looks like porridge instead of milk with bits floating in it. The container you use to cook it in needs to be at least twice as big as the volume of porridge it contains, because it bubbles up quite a long way towards the end of the cooking time.
I find a bowlful of porridge stops me from feeling hungry at all for 3-4 hours. Then all of a sudden I'm ravenous. A boiled egg and two slices of toast has the same effect, though it's not such a good breakfast for a fast day.

Hello folks, I'm jumping in to this thread rather late as I have just commenced in earnest a "food programme" to try and head off a potential health problem from developing!
I'm using the CSIRO diet book (which was ultra cheap 2nd hand on Amazon.co.uk, I'm kinda surprised it made its way over here to be honest). The biggest thing will be having to bring my own lunch to work, instead of eating here (school dinners! They are reasonably healthy but unpredictable as to what we'll get each day.)
So far, so good, but gosh so much meat is expensive to buy! Still cheaper than eating out I suppose.
