Yep - weight doesn't really go on that quickly. Most of it would have been water weight, like you said! Well done on getting some of it off.

Congrats on getting back into your routine, GS! I'm sure you'll see great results in no time.

Weight can fluctuate a lot, even within the space of a day, so if those eight pounds went on quickly, they won't take long to lose. It is definitely hard to keep to your usual habits when travelling...

Well, that meal plan sounds very healthy to me!

Breakfast for me is usually either fruit salad, porridge (plain oats with a bit of agave/maple syrup, chopped walnuts and dates - really filling!)...

I don't really use tofu because I've never liked it - I think it's the texture - but I do use soya mince crumbles. They're great for chillies and all kinds of other things. I buy the plain ones with...

Thanks, GA. I'm just heading out now for a long walk in the park with a friend. Weather isn't great but I don't mind! Need a good dose of fresh air. :)

Placement has finished, so there are no more excuses! I am going back on the Eat to Live detox and trying to get in as much exercise as possible. I am down a few pounds today, so that's encouraging,...

You're doing great, GA! Congrats on the weight loss. Once this placement ends, I am really going to up the exercise. Need to be fit for my holiday in July and CSN in October! (Nothing like a front...

Thanks! I may be slightly crazy attempting it in my first week of teaching practice, but hey... by the time Christmas comes round, I'll be thankful I did it. It is so worth it.

That is fabulous, Cathy! The video is definitely worth watching. It clarified some things for me (and I've read the book a couple of times!) It helps to hear him talking about it, I think. Good luck...

For anybody who hasn't read Eat To Live or is not familiar with Dr. Joel Fuhrman, this TV special is definitely worth watching. It gives you the basis of the nutritional information and the real...

That is absolutely fantastic, Cathy! Congratulations! I am so pleased you're getting on so well - a loss of 8lbs is great and it's even better to know that you're doing it with your health in mind....

That's great, Topkat! Giving up white bread makes a huge difference in terms of weight loss and bloating, etc.

That's fantastic, Cathy! Best of luck with it - the key is to remember to eat enough of the good stuff. A mistake I made early on was not eating enough, then I'd be either hungry and tempted to eat...

That's the key. I would say I eat the Dr. Fuhrman way 80% of the time, and that works for me. It means that I don't feel bad if I go out for a meal or have a treat now and then - because it really is...

Cool!

I have mentioned this before, but I would recommend Dr. Joel Fuhrman's book 'Eat To Live' to everyone. It is not a faddy diet book - it is simple nutrition, the natural, healthy way. Primarily fruit,...

Take care of yourself, Soda! I understand not wanting to see that you have gained weight on the scale but one pound is absolutely nothing. Weight can fluctuate up to as much as 8lbs a day, dependant...

40lbs is amazing, Nancy! I bet you feel fantastic. :thumbsup:

Here are some links to sites featuring vegetarian recipes and info, Cathy:

It's second nature to me now, having been a veggie for so long, but the...

30lbs is amazing, Nancy! Congratulations!

That's great about pilates, EK. I have just started a six-week yoga course for beginners. I had my first session last week, and it was great - I'm really...

Well done, EK! I'd love a bike but I'm in a flat and I literally can't think of anywhere I could actually keep it! :(

Congrats, Nancy! You look fantastic - you deserve a big pat on the back. I bet it feels great! :thumbsup:

I've been doing a lot of exercise lately. I'm trying to mix it up - Jillian Michaels DVDs,...

Congrats on the weight loss, Nanc! That's great. You WILL start to notice it soon enough. I'm betting other people can notice it already. Go careful on that ankle, though. Hope the lump is nothing...

Yeah, I was very gentle on it... but I will be careful. I'll let you know how it is on Monday.
