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.

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?

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 :lol:

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

i didnt get a diet sheet, as the nurse said i wasnt stupid!! :lol: 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 :oops: plus ive gotta build my self confidence as the doctor at ruh shattered it for me :x

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

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 :lol:
