Not following ww or any other structured plan as I never last on them. Basically I joined a private gym and they gave me some diet advice and an exercise plan. They are going to weigh and measure me every six weeks. I also went to the nurse at my surgery and she put me on xenical and warned me against eating fats as my body will get rid of them very quickly!
I then went and bought a nice pad and pen and started writing everything down - food, drink and exercise and am monitoring myself.
So while I am doing it alone I do have professionals overseeing what I am doing.
In terms of food I am just trying to chose foods that I know are good for me - and that my body can manage with the tablets. So nothing over 4g sat fat.
I find the trick for me is to know my triggers and what helps me along. I find if I eat junk then it makes me want to eat more junk so I avoid that (having to on the tablets certainly helps) and exercise reduces my appitite significantly so I make sure I do some form of exercise routine every other day.
If I were not exercising I would not be able to control my intake at all. Even with it I may still end up binging if it was not for the fear of leaking the other end, and if I was over eating with rubbish I would be out of control completely.
Do you know what your triggers are, what helps you to be more successful? You look like you've done quite well so far!
