Common sense at last – thanks. I am at 90kg, a 42″ waist and age 70 to boot – Bad news says the Doc. My normal diet – low fat, skim milk, 2 eggs a week, stacks of fish (sashimi salmon is yum)is good. Problem is a desk bound writing job, a love of cooking and a bottle of wine a day. Solution obvious, cure boring. Advice?

funny how she/he never mentioned excercise???? all you have to do is eat well…veg,fruit and no ‘shit’..’fast food’ as they call it!! (30 mins walkin the dog or takin your kid to the park,works a treat!) excercise and good diet dont kill no one,try it…it actually works.

I would love to say I have Francesca but I’ve really fallen by the wayside in recent months. Having a job where you are hardly moving around doesn’t help, and with the weather, blah de blah.

But we are going on holiday to Spain at the start of May and I am doing my best to slim myself down before then so I won’t look too nasty on a sunlounger, and also to accommodate the all inclusive meal package

Hi – all that you say makes sense, and I feel a kick start coming on! Hope you have progressed well since your last post.

They were diet . . . but the sugar replacement in diet sodas is just as bad for you (just in other ways).

My doctor actually told me to switch back to non diet sodas and limit myself to two of them. It’s a habbit I picked up in college (drinking one soda every other class).

I dont know if you have Dr.Pepper in the UK, but I’m adicted to it. But my rule for the day is dont start it with a soda. I start with water, tea, or orange juice. Not a coffee drinker, too bitter for me.

I’ve found that simply by changing what I drink, I’m loosing weight.

Word sir! Now is that 3 DIET sodas or regulars? If it’s regular, DAMN that’s a lot of sugar!

Yah, I’v started to watch waht I eat a lot more closly as well. I’m about 20 pounds over weight (well, about 20 pounds from where I want to be . . . maybe only 10 pounds over weight).

I’v had to limit myself to two or three soda type drinks a day (was downing 5 or more) and drink a lot of water.

That was stage one.

Now that I’ve been doing that for a few good weeks, I need to start working out a bit more.

Keep up the good fight !

I hardly ever read posts this long, but I did this time…For you.

Ha ha, seriously – great post. Personally I’ve never had to worry about weight but then I got married and picked up > 10 lbs on my honeymoon cruise. Basically it was a combo of late night blackjack 24-7 + unlimited and good tasting pizza.

Since then my metabolism has been shocked, but I’ve started running every morning before going to work. I highly recommend it despite how boring running is.

So keep up the good fight, and I know your plight. I absolutely love food, and love baking.
