Hello everyone, I see lots of new people have joined the chat since I was here last! It's very motivating to read about all the exercise classes you guys do - wow! I'm the one who posted about the "Cheater's Diet" - that's the actual name of the book. I don't know who wrote it, because I just got it from the library, and I've returned it. The basic premise was 5 days dieting, 2 days off every week as a way to boost your metabolism. There were also other rules, like off-limits foods, and recommended foods, but I don't remember all the details. I'm more following a basic low-fat diet with 1300 calories being my recommended intake at this site. I usually go a bit lower than that, though, during the week, and I don't go nuts on the weekends, more like I just don't count the calories as carefully, and if I want a treat, I'll have it then. I've lost 10 lbs since I started dieting mid-April, but the last week has been a bit of a plateau - probably due to more days off than on because of family events and the long weekend! LOL I live in BC, Canada, for the record. It's very interesting to meet everyone from so many different places. Liz

Hello turquoise67, No, no bikinis here!!!. Just to look good in a tankini would be OK for me! I actually eat very little right now, between 1100-1300. Being only 5'0", it doesn't take much to add on weight. I eat 3 regular meals, with breakfast helping the most. If I eat something before 10 am every day, I have way less cravings to eat at night. I was actually very surprised at how much difference this has made. I eat snacks only if I really feel like something - rice cakes in caramel chocolate flavor are very satisfying. Or, my weakness, junior mints, I just eat 2 or 3 for a snack. I eat a less than 300 calorie breakfast every day, which often includes 1 tbsp peanut butter on toast. I weigh myself every day, after coffee, this seems to be my lightest time of the day. I guess I need to see some result to stay motivated. Every 5 lbs I lose, I buy myself something small as a reward. I'm actually doing something called the Cheaters Diet - there's a book on it, where you don't diet on weekends. I don't go nuts, but I don't count calories either, which helps you not feel like you're going off your diet all the time. I count everything between Monday and Friday, then I kind of go easier on the weekends. I have 3 kids,8, 10 and 12, so this helps me just live life.

Hi there! I'm 44, 5'0" and currently at 126 lbs. I started out at 133 about 3 weeks ago. My goal is 115 , something I haven't weighed since I got pregnant with my first child 13 years ago! It would be nice to chat with people in similar age ranges. It does seem to get harder in your 40's. I noticed a gradual "creep" of weight over the last couple of years, and I'm determined to get it under control. I joined a Curves-like circuit gym at the same time as starting my diet, and the two together seem to be working fairly well so far. Hope to keep chatting!
