Starting a new weight loss program today...

[Mark TKO]

no but sounds interesting


I could do with shedding 3/4 of a stone myself. Am not fat just my clothes aint fitting like they used to - the two weeks of indulgence in Turkey took its toll


I am usually really good during the week. Dont drink , eat chocolate, gorge food etc....

But Friday at 5pm (ish) i go into binge mode. Beer spirits, takeaway - then same Saturday. Sunday meal at parents with dessert to finish etc....

Then Monday good again

I feel cheated if I dont have at least two takeaways Fri-Sunday

I know exactly what you mean mate.

This one sounds good one paper, but I just reckon the 500 cal days will be so tuff, that it may not be sustainable

Gotta do something though, I am in freefall again. Of the 7.5 stone I lost, I have put 5.5 back on

[Mark TKO]

look at the positves you ain't put it all back on so less to lose !

i am no good with calories etc.. so have no idea what 500 covers

[erics44]

500 isnt a lot

i suppose you could have 3 salads in that day and a few drinks of water

[BIG H]

A slimfast shake is 202 cals. So you can have 2.5 Slimfasts and nothing else. Or you could count calories, but 500 cals won't give you much food

i know this might be a bit patronising but isnt weight loss about eating less food than you burn?

you can still eat a lot of food and lose weight

preparing your own meals every meal will help reduce the calories, you can eat 3 normal meals a day or 6 small meals a day, make one big pot of food in a morning that you are gonna eat that day and then eat it when ever you want, use loads of green veg

and get to the gym, 40 minutes workout burns a meal

so if you are eating 3 meals equivalent and burning one then you should be losing weight

that dont work the same for everyone. All down to metabolism and person etc. Obviously you have no trouble keeping weight off
