Onwards and Downwards Continues in November 2014
Hello all,
Welcome to this month's Onwards & Downwards. We welcome anyone serious about losing weight and we offer support and kind thoughts - not magic fixes, just sensible help.
With Christmas and party season on the horizon some of us may want to look our best for that special do. And while you are all doing a fantastic job in the weight department we mustn't forget that self-esteem also comes from within and a dynamite outfit can give a massive confidence boost. If we feel good inside we look good outside. OK enough pep talk here are a few links that you may find helpful when shopping or looking at your wardrobe:
This one is good for both men and women :-)

The main conclusion seems to be that shaped and tailored fitting clothes will flatter most shapes even if they are slightly fuller. So ladies and gents lets flaunt what we've got and show the world that while we are trying to change our shape we are still amazing!!
Don't forget your weekly weigh on Wednesday and remember we don't judge!

You should continue to eat a healthy variety of food types. Simply analyse if you are overindulgin g in one.

I've just been reading through the posts and see that we have forgotten to say anything to you Jomlett...sorry about that. You didn't say how many months but from guessing it sounds like a good steady loss. You don't want to go too quickly as then it tends to go back on. We advocate a life style change with good sensible meals, lots if veg, focus on chicken and fish, with meat as a treat only a few times a week and do watch the size of your portions.
I have another couple of stones to go. I promise I haven't been starving myself (quite the opposite in fact). I started off on 1700 calories a day, and gradually it's gone down to 1400. The biggest change I've made is that I gave up beer and baking lol. I'm going on holiday next week so I'm sure to but a bit back on because I will be having a drink or two ;)
At first the weight came off at between 4 and 6 lbs per week - now it's down to between 1 and 3

6 months on the Lo-Carb diet, and thanks to this thread I've taken my first midweek weigh-in and discovered I've finally reached a loss of 10 kilos. Best of all my BMI (Body Mass Index) is down to 27 from 30 which is the start of Obesity.
When I started dieted earlier this year, I bought a very expensive leather belt that was the size I wanted, NOT what I needed: it didn't fit! Now not only does it now fit...I'm comfortably on the 4th notch!
I have no reason to return to my old ways, so Onward and Downward!
