Hi have just read the thread and it's just the incentive to get me on a diet. I'm desperate to lose weight especially for my wedding which should have been June this year at our villa but is now going to be next January (villa delayed!). This gives me a year to lose over seven stones which is 7 x 14 = 98lbs /52 = 1.9lbs per week. Doesn't sound too bad put like that - much better than 7 stone!
Could I possibly join too? Have seemed to diet on and off all my life but usually more off than on[ msnsad]. One of my favourite tips is to freeze bananas (peeled) and then eat them frozen like an ice pop. They take ages to eat and are good for those mid meal snacks. Another is have lots of carrot sticks, celery and cucumber sticks in the frig. they're also great with some salsa dip made from chopped tomatoes, onions and some chilli powder. I also make a big pan of vegetable soup which, in the early days in particular when all I can think about is eating, I have every time I'm hungry or just want to eat!
I find the biggest problem with dieting is getting motivated in the first place (thanks to this thread that now happened) and keeping motivated which I hope will again be with the help of this thread.
Anyone else got any tips?

Welcome to the OV Slimming Club!!!

What a great tip with the bananas LOL!!

My tip would be to combine healthy eating for life with exercise I really think it is the only way if we all want to be trim forever.

If it helps you after my number 2 baby (I have 5 children) I put on 5 1/2 stone so
after she was born I had 4 1/2 stone to lose, as I was cabin crew for BA I had 6 months before I had to go back to work and fit into my uniform (they were on a heath kick at the time and would not give out bigger uniforms), so I did it with the help of WW, I lost 4/1/2 stone in 5 months and stayed slim for the next 8 years before I had my next baby!

You will do it no problem in time for your wedding and we will all help to keep you motivated!![msnwink]

Well done everyone so far!!!!, I am going to share a tip with you, which at first may seem rather sad, but its good.

If you really really have to have chocolate, (which I often do) buy a cadburys flake then crush it into pieces and then put it on a plate, have a sit down and just dip your finger in the flake and eat it, it makes it last longer, you enjoy it more and its a little bit of me time too!!!!

[LiesaAnna]

yes but how about crush the flake, and freeze the banana and dip it into the crushed choc!!![msnembarrased] i think the frozen banana sounds great must try it! but grandaughter started peeling my bananas so must buy some more! she ate my clematines and apples to!!! so must renew friut bowl tomorrow!!!!
am really enjoying flavoured water been drinking a glass before dinner so feel really full as my plate is smaller!
