[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 375774"] Hi, it was lifestyle which was my enemy too. About 4 years ago I was 18 stone and drank like a fish! I cut out alcohol completely as it was easier for me to have none and started eating 5 times a day. I got down to 13.5 stone in 6 months. I avoid 'packaged' food like the plague and a typical day consists of oats, milk and sliced banana (breakfast), toast with marmite or peanut butter (mid-morning), sardines and salad (lunch), toast as per mid-morning (mid-afternoon), 'normal' evening meal (fairly early). My GP, Diabetic Nurse and blood tests all seem to be very happy with me. I found the weight loss frustrating as I hit a couple of plateaux on route, but managed to stick it out, as I understand a bit about the chemistry behind that. I know when I am going through a weight reduction period as I start peeing for England (too much information!). I can appreciate how difficult it is to 'graze' if you are working, but I feel that the gap between breakfast, lunch and evening meal is too long (more tradition than natural) and the long periods in between too tempting, hence the little and often approach. Whenever I feel hungry, I listen to my stomach and have a piece of fruit or slice of toast. My exercise consists of walking the dog, which is 2-3 miles per day. The best news is that there is no diet to switch back from. I just continue on at a steady 13.5 stone. I could probably get away with a sensible level of alcohol even, but I can resist anything but temptation! Comments from people who know me ranged from 'you are looking really healthy' to 'are you ill'!!But, going from size 40 jeans to size 32 (at a push!) at the ripe old age of 62 feels good. Cliff Richard, eat your heart out! :D [/QUOTE]
