I have just started the kelloggs kickstart diet again because I want to lose weight for Christmas and boy am I grumpy!I will persevere though,I lost two stone last time.So please excuse me if I am ratty in any way.

But did you put it back on again?????? I have lost 2 stone since oct last year. By sensible eating...ok ive just had choc peanuts cos the kids have gone back today. But im confident i will lose another stone by my holiday next year. (then Ill be just 4 stone overweight lol) Sensible diet & dont deny yourself anything or youll want it more. Elaine x

Well said Elaine, my sister has done just that, she's nearly 50 and the cow has got her little waist back!!! I've recently stopped smoking and have put weight on, I can't stop eating , woe is me! lol Good luck with your diet Fee B Lynda

Thanks for the warning, if you are a stroppy mare we will forgive you LOL!! Seriously, wishing you all the best; my husband has lost 24lbs and my brother 21lbs, and if those two great fellas with massive appetites can do it - so can you! Mandy :)

i tried the kickstart but i kept getting hungry inbetween meals and the fruit alone didnt fill me, so i got bored of that, but well done to you for sticking it out in the past and trying again :-) and well done to all you others. I decided to go to my docs after the birth of my son as my weight would not budge and decided to follow their "The right weight fibre diet" which is based on latest health guidelines and recommendations suitable for people who want and need to lose weight safely and healthily. You can have a 'free' list of vegetabes, tells you what fruit portions to have, breakfasts, meal plans etc. it worked for me. my son was born feb 2003, i was about 10-10half. in june 03 i weighed 9st 9lb, this june 04 i weighed 8st 4lb and now im now back to my 8st thanks to this diet AND i wasnt doing any exercises at the time either (although it did recommend it lol ) but , im thinking of taking exercises up now tho :-)

I try to eat a reasonably "normal" meal.I eat most of what I would have served my family before dieting.I do however try to cut down on portion sizes and the amount of cooking oil used.I would use the health grill more to cook meats and fish.I am interested in sally's healthy eating plan.If it actually is easier to stick to then I will give it a go.

fee had all intentions of starting my diet today but my husband whacked a cornish pasty under my nose.how long did it take last time to lose two stones on the kickstart plan?xxx(:

It took 4 months to lose 2 stone then I felt that I needed a break and I put it all back on again with more to boot.They recommend two weeks at a time but I kept on it,God knows how!My dad who has to lose weight for a triple bypass was recommended to try the same diet by a dietician so it must be reasonably okay to do.I am starving right now though!!

Good luck with the dieting Fee B. Since I had my son I find it hard to lose weight. I tried the Slim Fast diet for a fortnight (keeping to it strictly) and I didn't lose an ounce - just lots of money by buying the stuff - Huh! Years ago I lost over two stone on the Slimming World diet but even that doesn't seem to work now. Sally's diet sounds interesting. I don't eat meat or fish so there's no point in trying the Atkins diet. Lorrainex

fee the person that invents food that we all adore like chocolate and chips with no fat or calories would be a multi millionaire and adored by women all over the universexxxx(:

I can't remember if Ive put this up before but if not why don't we all try this diet.

I'm liking that diet Sue lol Lynda

Hi Fee, I sympathise and wish you well. In April I got fed up squeezing into a party dress. At this party the cat was on the table eating the food (yuck!) so I didn't eat anything. Next day I decided to lose weight! I have lost 1 st 9 lb so far and this is how I've done it: From Monday to Friday I don't eat bread, potatoes, pasta, rice, cereal, butter, crisps, etc - all the ususal fattening things - and at the weekend I eat whatever I want. I now find I no longer yearn for cheese sandwiches and a bag of crisps and I haven't given up wine. It's not the Atkins because I don't check the carb (or fat) values of anything, I just eat meat, fish and veg. etc. I also do an hour of aerobics twice a week to speed up the metabolism (apparently.) At any rate it's worked, I'm never hungry and my clothes fit again! I can't be doing with following a diet! Going to the Caribbean in March!
