I lost 3 stone from last April to last November. No actual diet, just changed my diet, and walked two to three miles a day without fail. My "change of diet" included fruit as an evening desert, (very) regular meals, and the total cessation of my cake/chocolate/whatever snacking through the evenings. I found a glass of water or a nice cuppa tea pushed those cravings aside. ALso no alcolhol on school nights. ('cept Sundays )
Put 5 lbs on over Christmas, halfway through getting rid of those now.

that's a proper effort.
Fair play.
The problem with many "diets" is that it is just that...salads, green veg, fish, lean meats, eggs .
All the stuff I love.
However like you, Wilf, I'm a sod for chocolate etc and sweet stuff in general .
I'll happily devour a "family size" tiramasu in a matter of minutes ....no more than 3.
Luke and his gf , both knowing I'm diabetic and with little willpower gave me this for Xmas (mead off Debs)
Methinks they are wanting to kill me off...

That’s great Wilf.
I think it’s the lack of proper exercise that’s doing it for me.
Dan and I where chatting while lying under his car this evening and we’ve decided to do a lunchtime loop from next week.
He’s only 18 but stopped regular exercise when the school hockey and the ice hockey packed in last year. I’m concerned that he’ll end up like me if he does nothing.
We both have bikes and there’s an easy 5-6 miles of country roads around us which we could probably do in half an hour over lunch.
We’ll see what the weather and willpower brings....

3lb short of my wedding day weight.
Which was 3lb more than where I wanted to be.. but that's stag parties etc for you .
Hope to drop 3lb this week then a further 7lb by the end of March.
That'll put me at the lightest I will have been for nearly 30yrs.... lost a lot of muscle mass though...DB and Neuropathy being the major causes.
fell right off the wagon last week...and the previous 2 or 3.
not just booze but all manner of crap...and put on 8lb!!!!
As a consequence my, normally decently controlled ( but not perfectly) T2 went into blue lights to the hospital numbers .
So I started the Newcastle Diet PROPERLY .
No solid food since Monday morning .
3 meals a day.
All soups but incredibly filling
1 homemade for dinner and half an Asda
"fresh " for lunch and breakfast. .T
the trick, i suppose, us variety. A total of 800kcal per day
The bar and fridge is full of Amstel and Redstripe and I've not been tempted at all ..
I had a gin Monday evening as it was, after all, a Bank Holiday (the weather was the proof of that). But otherwise I am managing to abstain from alcohol Mon - Thurs inclusive each week.
BTW - post retirement, Bank Holidays cease to have any meaning (other than to avoid places that might be crowded).
