[Luna]

if you like fruit and veg, bring in a lunch box with raw veg and fruit in slices.. leave it on your desk and snack on them instead when you are bored

We get free fruit and veg in work so im munching on that too!!

I havent checked this thread for a long time now. Its nice to see you all are still dieting. When the thread started in 2005 I weighed 16st 7 and by the xmas I had lost 4stone 4 lbs and weighed 12st 3lbs. now its nearly two years and I weigh 12stone exactly. I have kept it off so it can be done. My son lost a total of 11 stone and has kept that off too. So keep going guys.

Thats brilliant Hazey!! Well done to both you and Stephen.

When I started this thread I was 12st. I went all the way up to 13st 5lbs instead of going down to my target of 11st.

However, in the last 6 weeks I've started exercising again and watching what I eat and am down to 12st 4lbs.

I found the same initally. I cut out the sugar, watched what I ate but still remained the same. So it was back to the pizza and curries with no affect on my weight.

But then I drastically did a lifestyle change. Instead of coming home and surfing the net/watching telly, I made sure I joined the local fitness club. So my weekly routine looks something like this:

Mon: Body Pump + Abs + Boxercise
Tues: Spinning (bike class) + Weights + Stability Ball
Web: Aeroskip + Body Pump
Thu: Spinning + Badminton (2hrs)
Fri: Rest + eat what I like day
Sat/Sun: Moderate activity

I've cut out a lot of junk from my diet. I allow myself to relax my eating habits over the weekend (e.g. odd takeaway etc), but during the week I'm pretty strict.

Still got a long way to go to achieve my target of 11st though ...

Well done though for all the effort you are putting into this, I admire your determination which is where I fail Will try again though to do more for the health

I'm now down from 12st 4lbs to 12st exactly. Finally fit back into waist 32" jeans!

My biggest problem is that I don't have time to exercise. I always eat a breakfast usually shreaded wheat, corn flakes and in the winter porridge. For lunch I only have a sandwich and yoghurt and I have my tea between 5 and 6 then I don't eat again until the next morning. I just can't find the time to exercise as two nights a week I'm out taking Marley to Judo and football training plus she has a match most Sunday morning. The free time is used up helping Marley with her homework and with winter coming I'm like well my body will be well covered so no-one will see my increasing waistline.

Hazey.. You are totally amazing and your son not only just lost that much but you keep it off.. You both should be really proud of yourselves for not given up and for your willpower... congrats to you both
