Healthy Living Re-united

[Warbie]

Hi all,

I've read on a few posts that some of us are embarking on a "Healthier Lifestlye" aka DIETING (YUCK). As I am possibly going to be a Weight Watchers Life LONG member... there is nothing better than having somewhere to ask questions and get a bit of encouragement.... This is your thread to do it. You can post your progress each week and maybe it may just motivate that somebody that is really struggling and needs the encouragement!!!

Thanks for the thread, Warbie! I have done so many different bloody diets, and the only one that has worked really well for me is a bit expensive at the moment, so I am doing my own thing. Avoiding rice, bread and pasta, and eating tons of fresh veg, and some fruit. In 10 days I have lost 2.5 kilo's. It is so achievable, and has not affected my life. I think it is ideal. I normally have Special K with sliced banana and blueberries for breakfast, and something like a baked potato for lunch with fresh chopped veg, and dinner is a lovely huge salad with nuts and sprouts from Waitrose. I also add either chicken, salmon or cottage cheese. I also drink loads of water.

I will add my diet somewhere so you can print it off and ndecide if you want to use it...

"Healthier Lifestlye" aka DIETING

Warbie, that is so untrue. My family have never dietted in our lives but none of us are overweight, and we eat naughty things. I'm afraid I do find it hard to understand why anybody can't eat healthier without dieting. If you burn off (however, whatever!) what you eat, you won't put on weight. Personally, I fry without oil, I grill, bake, balance carbos, proteins, etc, and just try and burn off what we eat...... Fresh food is still best, plenty veg and fruit, love my red meat when I can afford it....
It has maybe just got to be a way of life
