Come on Iregirl - start counting the days - how close are you to 21 days now? Be strong, be focussed and set yourself that short term challenge. It's the season of goodwill to all men....and the seaon of lard too, so take it one day at a time. Just think of all of the artery-clogging fat in those co...

Hi Annie - welcome and good luck in the Christmas build-up. A comment on your motto - which I know will provoke some discussion around here. How about "There is no failure, only learning" - It great to see you've continued to change your approach to dieting until you find what works. Good luck and l...

For me, talk is cheap. I'd wait until people can see some visible results and then become intrigued about what's changed - they're then in a state to be open minded and learn. The other time I'd talk about it is when people start to envy your habits and self control - then I'd share. At the end of t...

Day 1 : SUCCESS . It's my weekly weigh in - 15st. (210lbs), down 3lb on last week and 9lb over the last 3 weeks. I'm very happy with this. In reality I know I've lost more unuseful weight than this because my muscle mass has definitely increased (or maybe I can just see it better under all the blubb...

I just don't feel as motivated by doing 42 on a string as getting up to 21 days again. Maybe I'm jus...

Day 15: Success Two weeks in. Now 15st. 3lb - or 213lbs - another two (1kg) down on last week. SG'd every weekday but no opportunitiy for quality UR this week, so I'm pleased that some of the blubber has continued to disappear. I'm pretty sure that some muscle is replacing lard too - maybe a pound h...

Hi Jesslyn Welcome and great to hear about your success. I'm a newcomer to this too. I didn't want to make a big play out of the 'diet' thing either. I've only been going a week longer than you but I'd say this isn't so much a diet as a process to build mental strength & habits - the rest follows. I...
