Default Re: Losing Weight

It is awfully difficult isn't it Poppy. I was quite podgy as a 16 year old and spied a picture in the local Observer at a 'Beatnik' dance in a barn for the local Youth Club .. that did it, lost 2 1/2 stone over a year, never slipped back much since then.

Was no weight watchers, just carried a little calorie counting book around with me.

Basically, though just cut out sugars .. you know, cakes, biscuits, sweets, sugar in beverages (always use sweeteners now)... well, I did used to put three sugars in me coffee !! Very rarely eat bread or potatoes.

Has just become a way of life for me now and love meat and loads of veg., salads with even some pizza or steak, etc. Never snack in between meals. My worst culprit, of course, is the wine !! Hummph, not giving that up!

Lots of luck everyone .. hard to say no at first, but does get easier.
