slimming world is brilliant, I like it how you can eat as much of certain foods as you like, but it still includes pasta and rice etc. | ||||
| Local lass |
it not mixing your carbohydraytes .so you can either have potatoes or meat. do you /have you done the diet before pimp? it is amzing what you can eat on it i had a massive platefull of chips,egg and baked beans for lunch. all completely free of syns.

I have loads of recipes - but I won't hog the tattoo thread with them i shall post some in the food section | ||||
| Kizzy |
I live on Green days - i can't cope with red - i actually gorge myself and end up very i'll and still feel hungry
I love experimenting with different combinations of free foods and Quorn is my saviour - I use that all the time, as are Muller light yoghurts and ryvita minis I've posted some recipes in the food section - these are ones i use alot and are mostly for green days I will post some more - i have quite a few but hopefully someone will get some use from them 
|
||||
| Local lass |
thanks kizzy for the recipes.
i prefere red days but i have been using the mix to match methord. whens your wiegh in mine on a tue morning. last time i tasted quarn it was vile and the mince tasted like soggy cardboard. im finding the varity of food a bit hard at the moment. |

My weigh in is on a Tues evening.
I do get quite ill on red days - I can't cope with the meat. And I find I can be more creative on green days - and I love my spuds! Quorn is fab, it's just a shame there isn't a better selection in the shops. As for 2litres of water, you just need to remember it is through out the whole day and not a few hours. And if you drink it in small quantities, it doesn't seem like you are forcing it down. I have a 250ml glass when I get up in the morning and I have a 500ml water bottle that gets refilled 3-4 times through the day, which works out from when I get up to when I go back to bed to be 16 hours. It is probably the same volume of fluid you would normally drink if it was tea coffee or pop. - But I stilll manage to drink quite a bit of Tea ontop of the water. You'll soon get used to it. |
||||
| Kizzy |
also it is worth investing in some recipe books or going to the website - there are some fantastic recipes which you can try, or even help you with some ideas.
The mag is worth a read as they do suggested weekly menus, which are good if you are stuck for lunch ideas |

Ive just started my diet, im doing it through my doctor (had a kick start from a horrible doctor at the hospital, he wouldn't give me the op i wanted because i was over weight and smoked!.... I'll show him!!)
My problem was i wasnt eating enough! i was only having one meal a day and nothing in between (ive been eating like that for years) also i have a thyroid problem so its not easy. Im finding it really hard to eat 3 meals aday, im just not hungry and i dont think about food.....any ideas? |
||||
| Kizzy |
I struggled to get breakfast in to my diet - so i started with fruit and yoghurt to get my metabolism going - and now i'm hungry as soon as i wake and have cereal or toast.
Just eat light stuff to compensate for the meals (fruit, yog, salad) - and you can then gradually build up to more substantial meals (add a couple of potatoes to the salad, or have a little amount of cereal with your fruit) I now eat tons throughout the day - and i'm losing weight 
|
||||
| Local lass |
by not eating your body thinks that it has to hold on to the food and which will turn to fat.
i got a crappy diet sheet from the doc what i just could not stick to .slimming world is a very easy diet and its amazing just how much you can eat |
||||
| kathy27 |
i didnt get a diet sheet, as the nurse said i wasnt stupid!! and she wanted to get me eating properly first, and i dont see the sence in spending pounds to loose pounds, and i really dont want to be weighed infront of others  plus ive gotta build my self confidence as the doctor at ruh shattered it for me 
|
||||
| Kizzy |
I felt like that at first - but i needed to do something, and i tried by my self and was really struggling - so my Mum agreed to come with me, and it's something i look forward to now - i've made great friends, the group leader is fab and very encouraging, and it is quite discreet.
Yes it costs money, but the group support is well worth it, when you are having a bad week its really reassuring that there are people you can meet up with and discuss your failings and even give advice if you have found something that works. Also we have a really good laugh |
||||
| Local lass |
i would agree in what kizzy is saying the support of a group does make all the difference.
i have failed when i dont stay to class my wiegh in today so will let you know how i get on .
|
||||
| kathy27 |
good luck local lass, I know what you mean about the support, but as there are 6 of us living here i cant cheat!
I know i dont eat enough, but my agruement is that i lost over 5 stone not eating (or only eating when i was hungry, it worked,) the only reason ive put some weight back on is that ive had to give up work now.....but when im feeling better the dogs will be taken for longer walks than ever before
|
||||
| Local lass |

hey kizzy
how are you doing with the diet over the easyer period . mine has totaly buggered up .hot cross buns with butter was to much of a temptation
|
||||
| Kizzy |
Not too bad - But I am going away for a couple of days tomorrow and that will stuff me up as I won't eat properly or regular - and I'll probably have a couple of drinks
|
||||
| Local lass |
ive been out tonight and we had drinks and nibbles,i just decided sod it for this week, | ||||
| GTB |
|
||||
| Local lass |
oh poop
not looking forward to the wiegh in today. had a fantastic easter with far to much to eat and drink
|
||||
| kathy27 |
Mines ever two weeks at the docs....and todays the day, really dont think ive lost much if any, haven't been able to do much cause of my op...but ive started the tablets now 
|
||||
| GTB |
Come on Kathy, let us know! Have you been a good girl??
|
||||
| kathy27 |
yep lost another 2 1/2 pounds, not bad for just sitting on the sofa all week!
|
||||
| Local lass |
well done kathy thats great .
how much do you want to lose in all? i put on 3 and a half pound this week . which is what i expected to be honest as i had eaten a lot over easter so this week have gone very strictly back on to it.. kizzy ever heard of marmite balls?? par boil some potatoes not much . in a sand wich bag put a tea spoon of marmite , use a melon scoop to scoop balls from your potaoe then place in sandwich bag give a good shake to cover them then roast. apparently they are ment to be really nice. what did you do this week kizzy? |
||||
| Kizzy |
I hate marmite - YUK!
Didn't go this week, was too tired after my weekend away and I did fall off the diet for 2 days (a bottle of wine and a couple of cans, 2 easter eggs, fried breakfast )
Oh well straight back on it today - if I can't have a blow out now and then, I get really depressed - I'm just grateful my jeans don't feel tight which I hope means I didn't put too much on.
|
||||
| Local lass |
my problem is i miss breafd far to much ,not just the taste but the texture,if im hungry i dont always want fruit. | ||||
| kathy27 |
I not really sure how much i want to lose, i want to get down to the size i was before i met block, (so its his fault i put weight on!!) I didnt really weigh myself before so i can only go by my clothes. Ive just started taking some tablets now that remove the fat from your food/body, and im walking every where so i hope i will be into my summer clothes soon! | ||||
| Kizzy |
I don't miss bread that much - when I do eat it I feel bloated | ||||
| Local lass |
called contentment kathy
im still find drinking all the water hard ,i need to walk places more i hate walking round the streets i would prefere through fields or forest.but hate going on my own and prefere to walk if i had a purpose which is why i nick my parents dogs she gets a good walk. and i get the excerise. kathy what are the tablets ????i want some
|
||||
| kathy27 |
The tablets are called "xenical" you can only get them from your doctor (which is why i wanted to do my diet through him  )
I must warn you the side affects are um shall i say YUCK! With out going into to much detail, just think of the only way undigested fat can come out of your body. but they do work, so its worth it.

Well done kathy
|
||||
| kathy27 |
Thanks TD, doing the garden is paying off now, but also just got a new job that involves alot of walking, so i should be half the women in half the time
|
||||
| Kizzy |
I lost another 1/2 pound this week | ||||
| GTB |
Good on you girls!! 
|
||||
| Local lass |
well done kizzy .how much is that so far now? | ||||
| Kizzy |
3 stone 5 1/2 pounds | ||||
| Local lass |
good on you kizzy.
how much more have you got to lose?it cant be that much as i remember you were never big so to speak. |
||||
| Kizzy |
Aaahh! I wasn't very big, used to be a size 12 and about 9 1/2 stone - however, gained a little after I left school, was about a size 14. Then reached about a 16 during my first job (lots of junk food - I worked at Leigh Deli)
Then I met my fiance - and I think it's called contentment, slowly creeped up to a tight 20!!! I have now managed to get back to just under a 16 (still too big for a 14) I hope to lose about another 2 1/2 stone to get to a 12/14 - I don't want to be any smaller than that as I'm quite broad and I think I'd look stupid. |
||||
| Local lass |
YOU WIL GET THERE KIZZY
i have always been big but the last few years piled it on. 
|
||||
| Local lass |
did two pound at fat club today .
which was surprising |
||||
| Kizzy |
1 pound this week | ||||
| Local lass |
well done kizzy
|
||||
| Local lass |
did two pound i got my stone and a half badge
|
||||
| Kizzy |
1 1/2 pounds this week - and I got my 3 1/2 stone award (at bloody last!!) now just got to get to 4 | ||||
| Local lass |
well done kizzy. thats fantastic.
what do you prefere red or green or do you mix them? |
||||
| Chepfer |
Blimey, that really is good, well done !
You know ... us guys always compare weight with fish ...... and if i caught a 3 1/2 stone fish .......... that't be about the size of my leg ! Well done ..... keep up the good work !
|
||||
| Local lass |
stayed the same this week.and i was good..
kizzy do you get weeks like that? how did you do this week ? |
||||
| Kizzy |
lost a pound this week - surprisingly if I really syned this week
I get weeks often where I stay the same - But at least it wasn't a gain. I stick to green, never red, i feel really sick on red days, and i'm not a big meat eater. There's quite a few in my group who only do red and they talk about having bacon for breakfast, chicken for lunch and steak for tea, snacking on packs of ham - just the thought makes me feel queasy. 
|
||||
| Local lass |
i prefere red.
well done for losing though kizzy. a bloke in my class got his eight and a half stone award he has done it in 14 months so there is hope for us yet
