    Thats great result!ts and good motivation. How are you with the 800 calories? What sort of things are you eating?

    I seem to be opting for curry choices for breakfast, remids me of being a student again!

    I've got a fair bit more to lose than you at 4 stone:eek:

    Its really easy but as us serial dieters know its all about your head, if thats in the right place we're good to go.

    Today I've had:

    10g of oats with half a greek yogurt and ten raspberries

    Bolognese with courgettini

    Two sausages, cauliflower, leeks with a couple of spoonfulsof gravy

    Skinny latte

    When I increase my calorie intake this is going to be so easy!

  • Your post made me chuckle Pastures New....I would eat that in between the proper family meals I !make from scratch.

    I've tried the smaller plate Teddysmum, reverse psychology as I went back for seconds and probably ate more than I would have done originally!

    Do Cardiovascular exercise such as swimming, running, walking, cycling, and many more. But walking is one of the best exercises which is perfect for weight loss. This type of exercise is simple to perform helps for weight loss, healthy life and burn plenty of calories. Walking exercises help to attain weight loss, whereas power training is helpful in building & maintaining body muscles.

    I'm sure you mean well but slightly off topic....

    Not too bad, second weigh in officially on Tuesday but as well as being a serial dieter I'm also a serial scale hopper, currently 8lb down.

    Today I've had a milky coffee, big bowl of homemade veg soup, chicken breast with half a cauliflower and two courgettes.

    I know there are some that would berate me for doing this on 800 calories a day but its relatively easy and I have eaten more veg in the last 12 days than I probably did in the whole last three months of last year. That can never be a bad thing.

    Its naturally bringing my Blood Pressure down as well, I take medication and even with that my BP is normally around 135/95, i have taken it three times this week and its around 115/80. If I can keep with this way of eating I could come off my BP meds for good!

    Is it three ready meals a day or just one for dinner?
