I would do atkins but with my diabetes i have to have a diet hig in carbs hehe x
 
thanks Bev free food yummy I'm guessing no choccy though, I have got to get it into my head chocolate is nasty sticky fattening sickly disgusting stuff, like you Kelly a lot of it is boredom usually when theres rubbish on tv, will really try ahrd after Easter (got to eat my eggs first though) then it gives me 7 clear months for no excuses until christmas but by then I hope i'll hate the stuff,
 
You can still eat chocolate but in moderation, it will be classed as a sin. you have up to 15 sins a day and everything will have a sin value. For me the best thing when I want something sweet are weight watchers cakes :) but I don't know what their sin value would be though.
 
Personally how i lost 3 stone was changing what i ate. I had too really cos i have IBS. I also hat ethe word DIET. I became a veggie but eat fish. no meat red or white no booze no fizzy drinks no milk or much dairy. no take aways. just loads of fish fruit and veg. thats was in 2002 and i los thte weight in about 7 months. I still eat the same just changed my habits
 
Just seen this thread - I use to have IBS and was overweight as a veggie - had a food intollerance test - blood test done and found I'm intollerant to egg, cashews, dairy and bananas! As a veggie i ate way too much cheese.

I decided to alter my diet and have not looked back - I cut down at first then cut out dairy and egg, cut down on the unhealthy snacks and alcohol, joined the gym. Lost 4 stone very quickly due to the eating changes and excercise.

Its over a year now - and its not gone back on and I'm not going to the gym at the mo - i will get round to rejoining!

Last July i decided to go vegan - best decision ever as i feel so much healthier - IBS gone and feel much happier not eating any animal product :)

My friends on slimming worlds plan - the green days are very veggie friendly and well balanced and lots of vegan options too!

I eat choc still most days but just 1-2 cubes of dark choc which is much better than i use to be!

cut the fatty foods out and have a well balanced diet with exercise always works, just need the willpower or something to look forward to like I'm going on holiday i need to lose the weight b4 june
 
I'm insulin resistant, and she (my annoying dr) said i shouldnt have too much sugar and have three meals that are hig hin carbs and my mum heard this and i live with her so she worrys hehe i dont mind i love pasta
 
me too.. consultants never said to eat things high in carbs! I'm on medication and injectable insulin
 
O ouch no jabbies for me hehe i refuse hehe have type 2 with metformin which also helps my PCOS, she the evil one said if i loose weight and drop to 12 stone i will be diabetes free but i just cant do it i try buts its too hard hehe x
 
Maybe we should have diet buddies my nurse say I have to lose 8 stone at least to be ''healthy'' a long way to go in fact i dunno what i weigh i look away when she weighs me. But I did ask her how much I need to lose.
 
Verity, if you do Atkins it can actull;y make diabetes go away - everyone thinks you need carb to control it, but not so. You will change the whole way your body works, it is a good diet for diabetics.
 
agree with that..

Verity am on Metformin too.. Atkins (so I've read and been told) is a really good diet for controlling blood sugars.Like Lucinda says everyone thinks you need carbs to control it.. you don't so the diet will be really beneficial for you.

Am type 2 diabetic as well.

lol i was once lol but maybe when i was 10 lol i just wanna be a 16 cos hten i can borrow my mums goth clothes lol
 
a 16 would be good too! I don't want to lose toomuch and become matchstick thin - not that I'll ever lose much anyway! LOL
 
Ok its fess up time. I think I need to lose about 7 or 8 stone to be a size 12-14 :-[ I've been on and off diets since I was 5 years old. Slim people give me advice on how to lose weight all the time and I say to them that you don't get this fat without dieting your whole life. Three times I have lost 3 or 4 stone only to put it all back on and more. I have tried every single diet out there from the Cambridge diet to Slimming World. I have never been so big and I wear horrible, badly made and over priced clothes that don't suit me just because they are the only ones that fit.

But do you know what? I have never been more content and happy with myself as I am now. Since I stopped caring what other people thought of me and just concentrated on being happy with myself and being the best person I could be, I have become so much happier. I have a gorgeous husband who loves me to bits and I have lovely friends. They are the only things that are important.

Of course I still try to lose weight. I do up to 9 hours exercise a week and try and watch what I eat but I don't let it take over my life. If you love yourself everyone else will too and the ones who don't are not worth a minute of your time or thoughts. :D

Concentrate on all the good things you have and the rest will come in time. Even if it doesn't, you won't care cos you'll be too busy being happy ;D
 
I agree totally with you.. don't get me wrong by my posts.. I'm happy with the size I am and couldn't give a toss what other people think..

BUT - I have always wanted to be a little smaller and wear fashionable, 'decent' clothes.. ok the market for big girlies is increasing.. but it's for me that I want a bit to go..

Hubby loves me for who I am and keeps saying that he doesn't want me to change - I won't - it's just I want a bit of flab to go!

Also it may help us conceive quicker and easeir, so I've got to give it a try..

I'm type 2 diabetic as well and take 2 metformin daily which helped me to regulate my periods as i also have PCOS but if you have that its a vicious circle to lose weight because having pcos makes it harder to lose weight anyway, my DR says she feels fo rme as i ahve the 3 real medical reasons that make it harder to lose weight under active thyroid diabetes and pcos, infact a lady at weight watchers a few years ago told me to give up trying how nice of her was that,
I would love to get down to a 14 I'm creeping up to 18 now, and want to get healthy, I'm not particularly bothered what others think about me, my big worry is we are flying next march ( my first time) and I am bricking it and the thought of getting dvt because of being over weight worrys me sick, so am going to make a big effort, but the only real food I eat being veggie is eggs and cheese not into nuts and lentils etc, I enjoy salald and veggie and some fruit I only eat wholemeal nimble have done for years cant stand white bread feels like a dough ball in my mouth,
I use to have IBS for years but taking probiotic tablets have almost completly cleared me of it, thank goodness the pain was worse then child birth at times, I even asked my dr years ago to take my stomach out (what a nutcase I was but pain does that to you), I take quite a few vits and suplaments and think I have got some of my problems under control,
now i think its a case of getting off my butt and cutting out chocolate think i will lose weight that way,
 
a vicious circle too for me as I can't exercise much as well as the PCOS and diabetes (what a pains we all are!)

So brave to go on a plane Michelle, I wouldn't have the bottle!
 
Debbie, I agree with what you have said. I am size 14 and moan about it because I want to be 12! But really it is who you are and what sort or person you are that matters. I know all you girls on this forum are super, kind people and I have seen pictures of some of you too and you are beautiful! And my vet says guineas are meant to be round - so let's pretend we are guineas!

Good luck with anyone who is on a diet - I am off Atkins at the mo but will be on it again soon !
 
We all want what we don't have. I've been a size 14 but I wasn't happy because I wanted to be a size 12. I lost 4 stone but I wasn't happy cos I still had a big tummy. Well, now I don't have to worry if the top I'm wearing doesn't look nice cos I know it doesn't and I never have to ask if my bum looks big in this cos I know it does. So the dress I'm wearing makes me look fat - so what! everything does. I don't care if my shoes are horrible - I can't see my feet ;D ;D I swear it has taken a lot of stress off me. As long as my hair is clean and shiny and looking lovely and my make up is perfect I'm happy. Who'd have thought that being this big would be easier eh? I suppose its how you look at things ;D
I have friends that are slim and beautiful but they spend their lives lurching from one bad relationship to another and being envious of me. So who is ever truly happy? I would rather have someone who loves me for who I am than no-one at all.
 
I would love to be a comfy 16 Sniff a dream atm. I also got the 8 stone at least to lose.
 
Just take it one step at a time. If you think "oh God I've got 8 stone to lose" you'll give up before you start cos it seems like such an inachievable target. You can't imagine ever being able to shift that amount of weight so why bother trying right? But ½ a stone is do-able. 7 little pounds. At your weight, if you stuck to healthy eating and done some exercise, you could do that in 2 weeks, 3 at the most. From there a stone is just another couple of weeks away. Then people start noticing and you find you can move about better and that gives you in the incentive for the next ½ stone and so on ...... The only thing stopping you from achieving your goal is you. I'm full of great advice but I can't shift my weight either but then I don't try as hard as I should. I love kebabs and chips. I have the appetite of a bird......a vulture ;D
I will happily be your diet buddy. You can PM me anytime.
 
PCOS is polycystic overy syndrome, when little cysts form on your overys, my scan looked like it was a string of pearls all around my overys, it causes you to gain weight easily and then make it hard to lose it again, your periods go haywire sometimes stopping altogther, you get greasy skin and your hair thins and you also get facial hair, not a very nice thing to have is it, but it also causes infertility, I was one of the lucky ones mine stayed so so while i was a size 14 and with clomid a fertility drug i managed to get pregnant he is now 21 I tried it gain for the 3rd one and stopped it after the dose got too high and feel pregnant the 1st son took 15 months to conceive the 4th 2 years and my daughter was a big surprise a month after coming off the pill, I conceived her accidently,
it runs with high blood pressure high colesterol and type 2 diabetes, all of which I have got but controlled with drugs, the bigger weight gain you have the more you are likely to be affected, I trhink i'm going to go thorugh the menopause soon or have already started Ia m 45 and have some symptoms so fingers crossed if my overys are dying off then the symptoms will go as well,
I am not very brave in this flying trip next march but to meet our cruise ship i have no choice as the stupid ship is in Barbados but is cruising back to southampton so its only one way but I am petrified of dvt,
my darling son Josh has got into watching why airplanes crash on sky. and enjoys watching me squirm when they go into detail, wicked little boy is'nt he?
