[QUOTE="Gappy, post: 205724, member: 33205"] I'm using common sense and my gym membership to have lost 1 1/2 stone so far. I looked honestly at what I was eating, recognised my weaknesses and made small steps, 1st instead of cereal and toast at breakfast I cut out the toast, instead of a couple of sandwiches at lunch I have a wholemeal wrap. DInner time I may have soup or a couple of crispbreads if i'm not hungry, or a proper meal. I know this works for me I know it aint high/low carb etc but my hbac1 has been 5.8 and 5.9 the last 2 readings, so it works for me as I haven't got the discipline to weighstuff etc. At the gym I've increased the cardio work I do, I've always been active so now I do an hour of cardio at relatively high intensity I use about 700-800 calories on them machines (I'm early 40's) I know this is too much for many but I didn't go straight to that level, anyway I just try each week not to take a backward step. I then do some weights too, this suits me as I'm not working so have the time so may as well be productive in this way, it also strengthens injuries I suffered in a motorbike accident so I'm less likely to get injured at badminton! Best tip, tell people you're losing weight, having told people I don't want to fail so I keep at it! [/QUOTE]
