and I'm not even calorie counting padiho. Just using sparkpeople principles - drinking my water and a little exercise (kind of hard sometimes).

I know SP (sparkpeople) is US but there's a lot of stuff you can get over here (none us). My snacks today so far have been a banana, and houmous and crispbread and don't forget breakfast!!!!

You so can do this padiho

Well done padiho huge congratulations.
Hm,I will suggest to join a local fitness club.A month ago I started exersize at home alone,doing Bob Harper's workouts(mind you the easier ones,20-30 min).You can search for his videos on youtube.Watch your calories intake,don't drink juice or any cola,fanta etc.Don't eat after 8 pm.Make sure you eat breakfast.Basicly have 4 meals a day,but don't go over the top,portion control.If you hungry inbetween eat some nuts or fruit.Oh and don't forget to drink a lot of water.
Long story short a lost only 3,7 kg in a month(53kg at the moment) but my energy levels improved,sleep better and my goal is to tone up not to lose weight.Now this month sign up in a local fitness as I fed up working out alone.Is much more fun working out with other people+I push myself more and don't slack when something is hard.
Good luck and pm me if interested I can send you links to Bob's workouts.

for 3 years.
If you hate veggies get yourself 1 of them blenders and thick shake them up.
My good lady used to take half a loaf in sarnies to work now just gets through the day on 1 of them thick shakes.
Good luck with your future quest.

Big congrats on your third anniversary!
As for losing weight........... Eat less, move about more ! Lol
Seriously, I eat lots of smaller meals instead of sticking to set meal times, don't do the ' eat when you're hungry ' thing as you will tend to eat more.
I also cut down on white bread and sugar in my tea, weight dropped off

well done on 3 years!

For dieting I use www.myfitnesspal.com/ and their mobile app - its calorie counting but they have over 5 million foods in the database pretty much anything I put in it came up including all the supermarket own brands. I found it useful as I could just stick to eating what I normally would eat but just work the days meals around to get the reduction in calories, as I'm a bit of a snacker and struggle without a boiled sweet in the evening when watching telly so I even allowed myself a couple of werthers per day, you set your own weekly target and it works out your daily calorie allowance based on that (and your starting weight etc.)

Thanks everyone for your congrats and diet tips.....I'm going to look into all suggestions ( except suggestion from Perpetua to get a dog ) would love one perps but away too much ...it wouldn't be fair.
Sorry if I've turned this into a diet thread...but as usual this forum has come up trumps ...so not only am I now a 3 year non smoker but I'm going to be slimmer

padiho, well done on 3rd anniversary, give yourself a pat on the back, hope you do well on your diet.

padiho when I stopped playing rugby I weighed nigh on 19 stone with very little fat on me. Because I wasn't training 4 times a week the muscle turned to fat and although I only weighed 16 stone I was like a barrel of lard!

Bought a little booklet giving calorie values of foods and planned my meals to 2000 calories a day. I lost 4 stone in 6 months and actually had trouble eating the amount of food.

Quite a few years on I now weigh 13 and a bit stone and at 6ft 3ins tall that isn't too shabby.

Congrats on the 3 years.
