You are best talking to a nurse at your local GP surgery who will encourage you to do a food diary ( a must if you want to loose weight ) I would suggest doing an exercise/activity diary alongside it too.

I started this 2 months ago and as a result I cut out drinking apart from 2 pints on a sunday as a reward.  I eat a lot of fruit esp when I feel peckish as I grab an apple or clementine.  I have also started to do a little food combining where I dont mix protein and carbs, so its veg and carbs or veg and protein.  Occasionally I get a craving for something I shouldent eat and I let myself have a chocky bar (milky way or something not too bad) or a pack of crisps.  It stops you having a mass pig out session after 3 weeks of deprivation and constant cravings.  Also I have celebratory meals sometimes such as pizza or fish and chips esp after weigh-day when I have lost more weight.

I have upped the exercise but to be quite honest that is mainly anerobic exercise which is mainly for my job and has little fat loss benefit.  Low intensity exercise such as a gentle cycle or a brisk walk to work instead of the car is much more beneficial to weight loss as it keeps your heart-rate around the 60-70% mark.

So far in 2 months I have lost 10KG (22lb or 1.57 Stone) not much less than your mate who, once he reverts to a normal diet, will pile it all back on and maybe more!  This method is aimed at lifestyle change which will keep the weight off for longer if not for good.

Oh and make sure that you weigh yourself on the same day and time every week otherwise you will get disappointing variations which will demoralise you and confuse you as to how well you are doing.

Good luck 

And the same clothes -- they can make a surprising difference !!!

very true, but then I am always in sports kit for weigh-in

Pal of mine has lost nearly 3 stone in just under 2 months after going on a rapid wieght loss diet,mainly consisting of onion soup,loads of fruit and veg and it allows up to 20lb of beef on day 5 and up to 3 steaks on day 6. As i could do to shift around 2 stone i was thinking of giving it a go. Anyone done one of these diets and if so what were the results?

Mrs lost 5 and a half stone in 6 months on phentamine at £50 a throw for 1 month supply.But beware as you will be bouncing off the walls.My luck was in every night mate. .She has the number if required mate.

There are many of these "short term" weight loss programs .. most of which either don't work or cause long term problems. This one is designed for a maximum of 7 days and can be useful for getting back into those trousers that used to fit but suddenly are a tad too tight.

If you add some curry powder to the mix it is actually quite palatable, and it does work in the short term ...

IMHO: The best weight loss programme is simply to eat less and exercise more*....no 'grazing between meals, eat a proper breakfast and a 'balanced' evening meal each day.

*Daily brisk-walks or if you have a dog then take it with you whilst jogging.....or, if you can, go to the local pool/gym and burn calories for 1 hr. daily.

'Fad diets' are either not-effective or downright dangerous/unhealthy.....Weight watchers clubs are surprisingly men-friendly[/highlight] and offer great morale-support (which is really the key to their proven "long term" weight loss results`)

It's a simple task to loose weight and a simple formula.

Weight loss (or gain) is inversely proportional to the amount of calories on the plate multipled by the amount of exercise you do.

Eat like a pig, you'll look like a pig, eat like a rabbit and you'll f**k like a rabbit.


Me ? I was 17 stones 2 years ago. We got a cavalier (king charles spaniel), and I gave up sugar and takeaways and took up walking the dog. 

I lost weight. I'm wearing trousers today that I last wore 10 years ago and am hovering about 14 stone.

I managed about 15lbs in 14 days last year, but it was a lot of bloody effort - I spent two weeks walking the Pennine Way, mostly through driving rain so 99% of it was spent in waterproofs.

All back on now   with just a little extra for good luck.

I'd love to try that, but as I am an insulin dependant diabetic I think my doctor would have something to say about it
