but me no good with exercise regimes and don't eat proper meals.......... never eat breakfast and snack most of the day..... what can I do to get some pounds off that's easy and pain free?

Swimming is good Diana, I not been for a few weeks but since I split from my wife last August Ive lost 6 stone some as been stress not best way to lose it but swimming helps a lot Davex

...and the second question Pinks.....what is the meaning of life.... Sorry Pinks....sitting here with a pate sandwich and thinking of how I have to get off my a..e, and do the 10,000 required steps to keep my heart healthy..... ...short answer Pinks, I don't know....tried most of diets....the only one that worked is to eat 3 meals a day, cut out a lot of the dairy stuff, eat smaller portions, more veg and exercise. or as my Doctor says, eat less, exercise more.....

Dave if you think I am donning a swimsuit and going to the local pool then you are sorely mistaken.......... not with my lumps and bumps mate!! ;o)

Walking is good Diana - and I don't mean strolling round the shops lolol - steady walking at a brisk pace that makes you slightly out of breath :O))

I always go quite early not many in Diana! Most pools have a ladies only session as well see if you can go then! Davex

Hiya...I have joined the local gym....i have found the treadmill is the best and fastest way to lose weight...If you dont like gym you an hire them for at home... Butterfly

EAT BREAKFAST - even if its just one of them cereal bars. Taking in food in the morning is the signal for your body that you're up and about and it can start burning off energy. The longer you go without eating first thing the longer it convinces itself you're still sleeping. I'd be willing to bet that if the ONLY thing ou change about your lifestyle was having something to eat as soon as you get up, then you'd lose weight Z xx

The worst thing you are doing is not eating breakfast. You need to eat first thing to get your metobilism(?) going. When you do not eat your body goes into famine mode, it assumes that food is short so starts to lay down fat store ready for the famine. I always say to my children, you would not expect your car to start in the morning with no fuel so why do you expect your body to ?? Last year I followed you are what you eat diet , but not quite as obsessive as Dr Gillian, I lost a stone in 4 weeks. Buy yourself a juicer best £50 I ever spent! Ang x

OK, so I'm not best placed to comment on this but... you don't eat proper meals or exercise. there's your answer !!! Paul x (ps... you don't really need to lose MUCH, do you ...)

figs lol.

Have quoted from the Telegraph on another thread. Todays second headline - 'on sale today, daily pill that helps to cut weight by 10%. Not read the article, cos i don,t need it, but the pill appears to be called Rimonabant. (Acomplia) Best of luck happy days

wish i had your problems Diana as you know i have quite alot of weight to lose and have tried every diet going but skipping meals is not the answer coz you need regular fuel to get your metabolism going (and vodka isnt fuel lol) apparently little and often is the answer ive lost 3lb since you last saw me by eating 5 small meals a day will let you know how i get on see you soon sue c x

nb, I started this 'always eat breakfast' thing today. Is a sausage sandwich suitable do you think ? lol

See now there is my issue..... I CAN'T eat when I get up..... I physically GAG, I really do have to wait at least 2 hours before I can put food in my body!! Daddy was exactly the same!! ;o( Sue..... I would say you're about the same size as me sweets so not that much to lose!! I wanna drop a stone Paul as most of it is on my chest!! Maybe I'll just have a reduction and solve the issue!! LOL!! xx

I can do Tea sweets but never tried yoghurt for breakfast, so will buy some and see if I can!! Thanks Christine!! xx

Just ordered a smoothie maker too as figured its an easier way to eat my 5 a day!! xx

Diana - I'm the same first thing - cuppa no problem - but I have normally been up about 2 or 3 hours on a work day before I eat....

Cut out all alcohol for a while!!!?????****** Kat (16 and counting?) :))

Sorry... just read your thread properly....pain free ...lol That won't help then Katx
