New Year Fat Attack 14.7 to 12.7 in two months ...

[katanita]

Yeah, I think there are probably going to be some people who click with it more, who actually like planning everything and entering all the figures. I've just gotten so used to it, and so aware that I have little instinct for being right about how much I'm eating calories wise (or not eating enough, protein wise) without it, that it's become normal to me to weigh/enter everything. Am on maintenance now, and may stop using it at some point, but not for the foreseeable. But I do think you need to be pretty strict about it for it to be effective though.

Congrats on weight lost Mick Mac!

Do you lose a lot of weight on that diet Jah?

[Mick Mac]

Thank you Katanita.

I did it the old fashioned way - eating less.

'Do you lose a lot of weight on that diet Jah?"

Apparently not

Have you tried asking him to put a paper bag over his head

ah was only jesting MM. in fact it was a thinly-disguised cry for you to post more.

but sadly you won't be reading this as you have taken a forum vacation due to cyber bullying.

PS katanita - i don't think I am suited to planning everything and entering all the figues, my brain goes to mush by the middle of the week and I give up too easily. i think you are spot on in that some people will click with it more (and I fervently wish I was one of them) :)

Not even if he covered himself in Haagen Dazs salted caramel.

That's real will power RPC.

[Robert Poste's Child]

Mick Mac, I think you may have hit on something there. I'll try visualising more food served that way.

[Mick Mac]

ok, only a day to go and I'm not quite going to get there. However this morning I was a new low of 12 stone 13.4 lbs so have broken the 13 stone barrier.

Will take stock now and decide if I'm going to go for the 12.7 in March - but you'd hardly see me if I was 12.7 so I'm having to think about that.

I'm rewarding myself with a big weekend watching rugby and drinking beer now. :)

[Help-Ma-Boab]

I'll have to pass on that one. I'm chillaxing for a while now :)

Well done Mick Mac! Has anyone tried Slimming World? I've been doing it since 5th January and have lost 5lbs. I know it doesn't sound like a lot but given that I've been able to eat more or less what I want while following a few simple rules I think it really works. I'm pretty sure I could lose a lot more in a shorter space of time if I cut out my mid-afternoon chocolate bar and wine but I'm pretty happy with the pace so far.

I took park in Gin-uary. It's a bit like dry January, except it involves drinking plenty of dry gin, rather than nothing. Haven't lost any weight.

How's the svelt likw Mick Mac doing these days, fallen down any drains lately?...

[Mick Mac]

13.6 this morning. Taking a long breather before stage two. Had a bit of a hectic socialising calendar for the last couple of months with rugby, horses, easter etc.

But now you have asked - I'll start again.

[Salsaboy]

Easter does it every time for me.
