The Lose Weight The Old Style Way Thread.

BigMummaF

Hi...hope you don't mind one of the oppostion calling in:p but I would appreciate some help with OS healthy eating plans.

I've read a half dozen or so pages to the thread, & will try to read the rest soon:o My biggest hurdle is having three 6' offspring to feed, one of whom has a physically demanding outside job.

I cook from scratch & use low fat/sugar/salt alternatives where possible & we have semi skimmed milk.
3 eat shredded wheat; 2 eat weetabix; 1 has oatabix for a change & we all have cornflakes occasionally
3 have porridge made with oats & water[not ready stuff!]
2 eat eggs; 2 eat bananas; we all eat pears, apples, sats etc
I'm the only one who enjoys a good casserole/stew, so we don't have them as often as I'd like:o
3 eat curry

I look forward to catching up on your tips & recipes! Happy New Year & Good Luck with the weight loss...

I can't much more than three pieces of fruit in a day or I get really bad wind and runs - it's just how I am made I suppose. I am the same with too many vegetables - I know some people who can eat loads and loads of fruit and veg but not me!

I dont eat much fruit, dont like it but i do eat huge amounts of veggies and salad, especially since I gave up meat a while ago!

Evening everyone and welcome to the new ones :-)

Hope everyone is well and looking forward to a fresh new year...

Took sis for her chemo and 7 hours later we got back.... no wonder sis ends up climbing the walls -all that waiting around whilst they decide if she is or isn't having it... still we had a laugh :-)

Thankyou for the lovely comments on taplady + myself being OS slimmers of the year... i will try not to let my crown slip lol... although im sure frogga will be right behind me trying to knick it by losing loads :-)

Im sat here all excited... mum had a sale leaflet for her catalogue so i picked 4 tops for spring/summer as most of my stuff is now just looking baggy and out of shape. I thought i would be optomistic and order smaller than i thought i needed so they would be wearable in a couple of months... well they arrived today... and being impatient i thought i would see how close they were to fitting!!!! and they only blooming well fit me now eekkkkk.... i ordered 20s so im amazed -and ontop of that they are fitted too.... so i have lost a whole 4 dress sizes WOOHOOO.. and it only cost me £17 for them all... it was so nice to pick things i liked rather than looking at the available sizes first to see what would fit!!!

So as soon as i get home all the stuff that is too big is going -even though i haven't worn some of it ARGHHHHHH
So if anyone on here can make use of some clothes -mainly 26/28s some that haven't even been worn please feel free to PM me...
Even if they just tide someone over until they drop a size or two.... if not i guess i will have to ebay them...

well i will get off for now...
Have a great new year everyone.. and i will see you all in 2008 -which WILL be our year for slimming down :-)

Have to say i eat heapppps of fruit n veg... but it has not "effect" as i have the constitution of a donkey :-)

Right, start as I wish to go on, I'm in, properly, time to give this a go, need to get rid of some of the excess. Lost weight over Christmas with being ill so maybe in a way that makes me lucky. I had started loosing weight last year but then stayed the same for a while.

Right, where do I sign?

Happy New Year

(PS I've only read a small amount but well done everyone )

Hi everyone, I'm a newbie here and I hope to lose my excess weight in 2008!!! I have a prolapsed womb and my extra weight isn't helping, have to see my consultant again on 15th Jan. I'm currently prob around 16 stone (not good for only 5'3").

Will post with proper weight on 2nd Jan, Happy New Year to everyone!!!
