 emmafroud 11 years ago | have you considered giving yourself 1 day a week off? this allows you to treat yourself, obviously not eating all the fat and calories that you have lost in the week but it gives you a break and yes you will still loose weight |
 apensa 11 years ago | This is what I am up agains. My daughter and her family came out this weekend to visit. We have a pork roast dinner planned for this afternoon. Yesterday when they arrived it was pizza! I love pizza. I could eat it every day for every meal. Needless to say, I over did it last night….I know I did. Also had a diet pepsi with it…..at least is was not beer. I sacrificed and did not join the wife and daughter in a Vodka Tonic….that took some willpower. Off to a good start…huu? |
| apensa 11 years ago | Cycling is one thing that I have done. I also have a treadmill and manage to get on it now and then. Consistency is my problem. Always something else to do…..even if doing nothing is what I have to do….LOL. I find that my older age makes it a little risky to cycle like I used to. No wheelies….LOL. |
| emmafroud 11 years ago | have you tried cycling? my dad is 64 and dose 15 miles a week! |
| apensa 11 years ago | Exercise…..oh, yeah. That is supposed to be part of it, huh. Well, my insurance is now covering Silver Sneekers gym memberships, so it is hard to come up with an excuse for not exercising except that I hate it!!!!!! I used to be a religious work out freak back in my younger days. To answer your question, I get up in the morning and putter around the house. |
| emmafroud 11 years ago | Hi ive been doing this for about 2 weeks now and can hopefully help you SWG is sprouted whole grain a lot of questions are answerd in FAQ at the bottom of the page along with contact us ect. it might help to set an alarm for a couple of days to get your timings, as my husband is watching his food as well its not always possible for me to follow the teatime meals so we use the eating for life book as well as a English book by hairy bikers ‘how to loose weight’ (try amazon for that)what exercise are you doing |
| apensa 11 years ago | I just joined this morning and as I read through some of the literature I was struck with how similar this is to the Phillips book on “Eating for Life”. I did quite well with that diet a couple of years ago but got away from it because it was expensive, time consuming and, although not restrictive, very inconvenient and guilt producing…LOL. I don’t overeat as a habit. If anything, I skip meals. Not with the idea of loosing weight but just because I don’t think about eating. It is a chore for me to remember to eat 6 meals a day. The other concern is, where do you find half the stuff they recommend? What is SWG….I’m sure the answer lies somewhere in here. Bottom line: I just want to start a dialog with someone to compare notes. My target problem is lots of fat around the midsection. I still wear the same size pants (34’s) but that creates a “muffin top”. Go to a 36 waist and my butt is swimming in them. No way will I stick strictly to the diet and recipies used here. Do I have a chance. The money I paid to join is a drop in the bucket as compared to what I’d go through at a casino, so I’m not worried about that. Hope I hear from someone. |
