Re: Motivation thread for losing weight...
Hey Reine,
I ament really trying to lose weight so much as I'm trying to get fit, tone up and hopefully the added bonus is shifting the extra 5lbs I've added on over the past 6 mths! I'vejust joined the gym last week, bit of a shock to the system for someone who couldn't remember her last bit of exercise! I'm also trying to cut out the vino during the week and limit it to weekends and trying to just have one blow out day foodwise as opposed to the whole weekend! So while I won't really be weighing myself religiously or anything I wouldn't mind a thread for healthy eating and exercise motivation! Have you any plan for exercise etc or starting with healthy eating etc? Re: Motivation thread for losing weight...
Oh I need a kick up the *rse. I am in a serious rut ands need to cop on and lose weight asap. I've taken the postive step and quick smoking (again

I tried Lipotrim before but couldn't cope on 400 calories a day! Does this diet centre around deprivation, because I couldn't hack it? I need a diet that's sustainable. I have a looooonnnnngggg road to lose this weight. Re: Motivation thread for losing weight...
ill jump on too,
![]() i seriously need to shed a few pounds and tone up aswell ![]() whats this Dukan diet? Re: Motivation thread for losing weight...
I have to say girls, since getting married nearly 3 years ago i have put on around 20 pounds
![]() The dukan diet for me has been brilliant... i bought the book... http://www.amazon.co.uk/Dukan-Diet-Dr-P ... 096&sr=1-1 and have been posting over in health and fitness... viewtopic.php?f=3&t=287956&start=330 there are 4 phases to this diet... actually I’m sure if even diet is the correct name for it.... it’s more of a re train your brain etc... let me know if you want further information... i promise if you just give it a try you will be impressed!

I started back to my healthy eating plan and I posted a while ago about my mission to have a body like Rihanna's by Christmas and I am still on that mission
![]() Being away from home makes it so easy to diet. I only buy good stuff and don't drink over here now so that has stopped me from straying off the caveman path. I also have a bit more free time than I would in Ireland so I go to the gym nearly every day over here which has definitely given me a real boost. I looked up the Dukan diet myself as was intrigued by it - seems to be quite similiar to The Atkin's Plan only instead of full fat foods he encourages low fat choices and oat bran is a daily requirement , I think, but could be wrong Sara you can correct me there! The attack phase is almost identical to Atkins Induction phase only that they swap high fat for low fat - it did seem quite restrictive to me and that's why I gave it a miss.

Re: Motivation thread for losing weight...
BOR... i suppose you are right, it is kina like the Atkins diet..... but on the Atkins etc, you could have fry’s etc... you cannot have any fatty meats on Dukan.... all extra lean like chicken, less than 5% fat red meat etc.... personally i don’t find it restrictive at all..... it reintroduces all the carbs etc later on in the diet, to be honest its working well for me at the mo.... i feel much better, don’t feel as bloated, and am losing weight... 4 girls i work with did it last year... they look fab and plus they have all kept off the weight without being too careful....
I suppose for me it now makes me more conscious of what i actually eat.... and so far it working wonders for me... ![]() Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole." ~ Roger Caras

hi girls Im doing the 17 day diet. Ive lost 8lbs in the last week although Ive only started sticking to it properly since last Monday. I feel great. Its basically:
For the first 17 days: no carbs 2 pieces of fruit a day 2 actimel or probiotic yogurt as much veg as you can as much salad as you can eat protein with main meals - lean turkey, chicken, tuna, salmon etc 2 litres of water a day 17 mins exercise a day Yes it can be hard at times but the good thing is that you detox quick and see results quick so uit helps with motivation when you are craving a chinese!!! Im terrible with diets but Im finding this the best. Also if you fall off the wagon you can get back on and undo the damage fast. Its based on 17 day cycles.....the first 17 is the most restrictive and after that you re-introduce carbs.
Re: Motivation thread for losing weight...
I need to jump on the bandwagon here. My mum keeps telling me not to diet before Xmas but I'm just not happy as I am!
![]() I've been really good for the past 2-3weeks, walking fast 3 times a week for half an hour (from doing absolutely no exercise), not eating chocolate, takeaways (used to have one once-twice a week ![]()
Re: Motivation thread for losing weight...
I think Primal Blueprint is excellent Zumba. You can eat as much veg as you like 2-3 pieces of fruit a day, eggs and meat in abundance and you can have high fat dairy if you are not lactose or dairy intolerant. The science behind this is what makes me love it more. If you read the book then you will see just how good this plan is - he also has a fitness regime, which includes 1. lifting heavy things 2. Play, rest or move slowly 3. Sprints Here is a link to his fitness plan: http://www.marksdailyapple.com/primal-b ... an-basics/
You can find everything you need to know on his website for free or you can buy the book to have all the info to hand. A typical day for me: Breakfast: 2 or 3 egg omlette with tomatoes and full fat cheddar. Coffee with dash of hot milk or cream Apple. Lunch: Chicken/prawn salad with egg, tomatoes, humous and veg sticks. Naked bar (made with fruit and nuts only!) Dinner: Chicken Korma with cauliflower rice (you have have sweet potatoes if you like but I just prefer no carbs in the evenings.) Berries with cream and 70% cocoa sprinkled on top.

Re: Motivation thread for losing weight...
Yeah - maybe put up our present weight and then we all pick a day to weigh and put it up? Everyone agree? then we can swap recipes, fitness plans etc whenever we like. Shameless self promotion of my blog http://nuttygalwantstocomehome.blogspot.com/
