Wedding Diet Thread....

Cheers for the diet recommendation Codemonkey, I'm going to give No S a go, starting today (fortunatley being Saturday today is an S day- this is going well so far!). What's the line on drinking alcohol? Does this count as a sweet that can only be enjoyed sometimes on S days? I didn't notice anything on Reinhard's site about it.

As far as I'm aware you're allowed to drink alcohol in moderation - no more than 2 glasses of wine a night though.

Just checked the site and this is the guidance

I don't count alcoholic beverages as esses. I usually have a drink or two a day, which I've read is supposed to be very healthy. 2 drinks is my "glass ceiling," however, because I've read (and experienced) that more than that can be pretty awful. If you drink that or less, I don't imagine it'll have much impact from a caloric point of view. If you drink much more, you may have a different sort of problem altogether.

Morning All,

Hope everyone had a lovely weekend. Reading the above made my day. Well done everyone, esp ellay and code monkey and cherryperry. great losses there, and wow ellay i would looove to fit into a dress 10. Last year i managed to get to a 12 but at the mo, am struglling to stay there so want to remain there if i can. hehe.

weekend was good, managed to eat OK, with the occasional treat but I did not feel guilty and carried on. had a tough kung fu session on Saturday so felt good as only played tennis last Wednesday. This week, am determined to be good at the gym so will try a new body attack class and carry on eating well. so am about to eat my fav granola with berries.. yay!

the weathers miserable here. was it good in Scotland yest codemonkey? One of my work friends got married there yest and I hope she got nice weather.

Also saw something on tv yesterday. some machine called the leg master and it seems good (for now).

Please have a look and let me know as I have been 90% convinced. :0)

Hey Rups, well done on the weekend moderation. Think we have one of those in the gym but I haven't used it.

Back on the wagon again today. Just been to the gym, which I welcomed because work is so frustrating at the moment, it was either that or punch someone and they can't fire me for spending my lunch hour on the treadmill and doing weights.

hope everyone is getting on ok.

well done for using the gym codemonkey. Its the best way to get rid of stress. Hope you are feeling less stressed now.

I was feeling lazy but pushed myself to try the new body attack class, and boy did i feel attacked. I struggled so badly especially with my breathing. ouch.. its new class so i better make sure i keep attending as i need my lungs to be better than this. :0(

I feel so tired now after that class that i cant work. Works boring and i am tempted to snack but i managed to say, i dont need those short bread biscuits! grrrrr

well I'm feeling like I just can't be a**ed to go dancing tonight but seeing you ladies have done your gym and body attack (is that as painful as it sounds?) I shall make myself go. I'll enjoy it when I'm there but I'm just tired and lethargic right now.
Rups - that leg thing looks too good to be true but I saw the price and came out quickly. I'll stick to my lateral thigh trainer which does do some good when I actually use it rather than just hide it in a cupboard!

Hello All, Can I join?

I am planning on loosing some weight and a dress size for my wedding next year. I do seem to have a little will-power problem, so I am going to try the No S diet- hopefully this approach will work! Done well so far, and love the fact that can still have alcohol!

I am getting out the tape measure tonight, but will not be making it public! Problem is I am having issues with my knee, so exercise is on the back burner atm!

There is one yorkie cookie of yumminess staring at me. I will not eat your chocolatey goodness you nasty temptress.

Hehe I've just made H2B eat it. My hero :j

I'm not jealous at all. Oh no. I'm not looking at the cookie in a jealous way inhaling the yummy chocolate smell and wishing I could taste it. Not me.

And I'm not cross that he just binned half of it thengot an ice lolly out the freezer.

Bum!

well ladies I have found the ultimate deterrent if you're thinking of snacking in bed

Morning all...

did you make it to your dance ellay? what lateral thing are you using? I didnt see the price for that legmaster, and when i saw it on Amazon, it was £50.00. hmmm curious now. Will you please show me what you use?

wow codemonkey you are SO SO good. well done.. I tried so hard last night and i went home in a bad mood due to just standing up and being squashed on the train, tube and bus. H2B kindly had got us some cheese cake which is my fav, to try and cheer me up so i had a little piece. not too much as after a while it starts to make me feel sick.. i had al ittle slice and he finished the rest.. lol..

i am def up for trying the S diet now!!!!:0)

Welcome johannalf88. I am sure we can all help each other to reach our goals..:0) the idea of alcohol def sounds good,esp as 2 glasses are my limit. hehe.

time for breakfast now.. no gym today as bit sore.

Body attack was really good ellay but i need to go more now esp as i was getting out of breathe. I need more cardio workouts like this, so am def going back. it consisted of aerobics, dance style moves, that also had some body combat in it.. hmm thinking of the jumps, and jumping jacks we did yest is making me tired.
