Ooh, I love macaroni cheese. I know I eat far too much cheese. I'm doing a spicy couscous thing tonight.

Well done for losing the weight, I have put on loads of weight and could do with losing some, it's very hard to control what I eat as OH does the cooking. Even when I tell him portion sizes are too big he takes little notice, I eat it because I hate waste and don't want him giving it to the dogs.

I have swapped macaroni cheese for a lower fat version of cauliflower cheese the calories saved are huge.

I've just lost 2 1/2 stone. It's taken a full 12 months. Just losing a lb every week or 10 days so I'm quite happy now. I'm just about on the top end of the normal weight range but don't want to lose anymore. I just ate slightly smaller portions & not eating between meals & it's surprising you don't really notice it.
I had to give 17 pairs of trousers to the charity shop a few weeks ago cos they kept falling down. so now I'm visiting charity shops buying smaller ones. Talk about re-cycling

I'm adding elastic to waist bands but had to buy a new bra and undies as they were starting to have a worrying habit of falling down ! Haven't thrown anything away yet though.

I am hoping that when I get back to my summer eating habits [salad, salad and more salad] I will be able to shift another few kilos. When it is cold I always seem hungry and although I do not snack I just seem to eat much larger portions of whatever I have cooked.

I'll join, dont need to lose weight, but do need to start eating better again, and do more exercise, i'm so lazy.

Well done Julie, keep on with the good work.

Congratulations Julie - that is a huge weight loss to achieve Keep it up you are doing fantastically

Also well done to Taff and Mini.

Hi, having lost 3 stone last year, recent stresses have led to me comfort eating & gaining 6lb. Time to nip it in the bud. I'm back to calorie counting & aiming to walk more.
