Yet again another post with nothing to do with bunnies so sorryy! But like many others I only really post here!

I really want to lose some weight...Im not majorly over weight at all but in the last year I have really started putting on weight to the point that even my clothes dont look nice on me any more lol could be due to the fact it looks like im squeezing into them.

I really need motivation and tips on how to stick to it. I know I can lose weight if I get my mind on it. A few years back I was quite chubby and lost 2 stones with weight watchers but I used to go to the meeting religiously lol! I cant afford to go every week now so I just need something I can do at home. I have just ordered a Davina work out DVD which I will hopefully start doing regularly! I am also planning on cutting out all sweet stuff except for sugar in my tea and also watching portion sizes.

Does anyone have any tips or advice or even stories of what you found worked or didnt.

Perhaps thids could be our own thread dedicated to helping each other asking each other how much we have lost etc like a support group lol!

hi umber
i started slim-fast a couple of weeks ago and in 1st week lost 6lb but due to recent events i gave up easily lol but i now am not in the mood keep thinking life is for living and not stressing over how big my butt is lol.
i know i wont keep feeling like this and in a few weeks il stress again.

i did the cambridge diet last year and lost 2.5 stone in a matter of 8 weeks but sadly all my hard work went to pot over xmas and although i put all the weight back on i never put the size back as i was an 18 when i started it and now im a 14 yet the same weight as last year, confusing lol

There is a new product available over the counter now called "Alli"....it contains something called Orlistat...you take a pill with each meal and it prevents up to 40% of fat consumed being digested...instead, it passes through you and you lose it in the toilet.

It is really meant for "bigger" people, and was only available as prescription from your Dr until last week.

The pill really is a deterrent from eating too much fat...if you eat too much, you will need the loo fast! So, it helps you stick to healthier foods.

It doesn't effect your brain or heart, so no side effects...other than needing the loo fast if you eat too much fast and it needs to get rid of it for you.

The pills are 60mg, whereas from the Dr they are 120mg. And, they cost around £35 per pack from the chemist. If your BMI is above average, your Dr can prescribe them for free.

Many people have lost weight through them as they are safe and can re-direct you into cutting out un-needed fat. It will not get rid of any protein or carbs from your diet.
It is also recommended you excercise with them, and eat better.

I swim 3 or 4 times a week, and i find it makes me want to eat healthier after an hour of excercise.

Hi Umber,

Hi Umber,

No not sure how long it lasts...probably a month I would think...quite expensive, but supposed to work.

Check in the chemist's...they seem to be promoting it everywhere right now. And it is exactly the same as the prescribed pill, only half the dose. We met a guy last yr who was using it and lost 5 stone! That's how I remember all the facts...he had to lose weight for an op and his dr gave him that.

I use a big TAPe across my mouth!/...lol

only last 15 mins..lol

Its really hard sometimes i know i have been there i gave up
