Helping someone lose weight

[SC00BY]

Hi,
My partner wants to lose some weight, about 2 stone.
What can I do to help, encourage, make it easier for her.

And no i've never commented about her weight. I love her as she is and will love her the same if she loses or puts 2 stone on.

Thanks

most of us should be eating healthier. why don't you join her? you don't have to aim to lose weight, just eat better.

[LoftyLottie]

Agree with Sarah. If she aims to lose weight and keep it off she just needs to follow a healthy low fat diet with plenty of fruit and veg - which is good for all of us. You can join in and after a while you just get into the habit of eating well and can't go back to the old pattern. You will then both feel great and I promise she will lose weight (I speak from experience!). No faddy diets because all that happens is that you take weight off quickly and put it all back on (and more) afterwards.

What a nice person you are Scooby.

But I would point out that everyday I am referred to as Loftie, Lotty, etc. etc. and it doesn't matter a jot!!

[Nosha123]

aah.. do something together.. cycle rides, walking, jogging
Exercise is the quickest really.. rather than just dieting alone...

Maybe you could buy her a nice recipe book for low fat meals... and cook together

Make a voucher for her to buy a fab dress in her new slim size as motivation...

[LoftyLottie]

Agree about the exercise Nosha, except I can't do any these days!!

[Rev Sermon]

Buy her some black clothes, black's supposed to make you look thinner.

[Nosha123]

Ohh poor you LoftyLottie. Sorry to hear that
I guess I was assuming that Scooby's partner would be able to get up and about a bit without any trouble!

The cook book idea was quite good though...

[LoftyLottie]

Just got chronic back problems at the moment Nosha, but treatment is helping.

I've had chronic back problems for years Lottie....apparently it's not my back but my pelvis which is the cause. I found a wonderful osteopath (who I was dragged to unwillingly) and after a few treatments I felt the best I had in years. After the initial treatments I just used to go back every 6 months for 1 session...........he's died and I'm now back in agony.
