In short: No. I'm too greedy for diets, and too fat to care at the moment.

DH decided on return from holiday mid Oct that he was going to lose a stone before Christmas and has been calorie counting since. He has done well, losing about 1 3/4lbs a week. I’ve been doing it with him but not so strictly as I (luckily) don’t need to lose much. It wouldn’t be my choice but if it works for him ......

Yes, I am minimo - perhaps you should head over to the other thread where people are discussing this. smile

Yes I'm loosing weight nicely at the moment have lost 7.5lbs in last three weeks so those pants I've had in the wardrobe are getting nearer to fitting me with no muffin top.

So long as you don’t have to change your name Minimo! Join the 16/8 diet, it’s not difficult. Lots about it on another thread.

My dieting strategy when I fancy being a bit lighter is to have a (non-alcoholic!) drink whenever I feel the urge to snack - works for me.

My trousers are already snug blush. Anyone want to join me on a pre-Christmas detox type thing so that we can splurge without guilt come the real festivities? Any tips on how I can make this as painless as possible?
