Hello
Im in Essex, am not currently with any weightloss program and have gained a stone in 4 weeks!
I was going the cookyourselfthin diet online but seemed to hit a brick wall. Am now looking for a kick up the arse for my weight loss, i still have a long way to go
i went to slimming world for a little while last year, did really well on it (for a whole 3 weeks) but too much organisation involved and thats not me!

I am an essex girl but moved out to surrey so home sick! they are not like us in surrey if you get what i mean.
If you are having a plateau try cutting carbs right back for a week then a week off, my brother-in-law is a food scientist he suggested it to me and it works, also cutting down on processed foods i have been following a diet i found on the side adds from this site and its all about liver function and how unprocessed food makes your insulin levels rise i thought i was a load of **** but i gave it a go and the weight is coming off AND my skin is amazing now, shocking how food can affect you.
Hope this helps
Hi Marie...
for all the Essex Girl jokes, I think we are some of the friendliest around, and we don't take ourselves too seriously...in a nice way. I try cutting carbs back, but my cravings usually revolve around bread, and I can pull back for a couple of days, then I make up for it all in one go, especially fresh granary....lovely from our local bakers. i don't each much processed food, but what's the diet you've that explains about your liver? I have problems with scarring on the liver due to a problem with my immune system, and haven't found much out there too help.
Hi Blondie,good luck with the calorie counting, I can nver stick with that, I've tried a few times. Tried ww too, but failed to stick to the points. I like SW, especially the Extra easy plan, did they have that when you tried, it's like green and red all rolled into one. I think I've just got a little lazy, unfocused, and I'm easily persuaded by my OH to buy what I shouldn;t have in the house.
Hi Katty, you've done really well so far, must be hard with 2 little ones at home though, I don't have that excuse. My daughter is 13 now, and most of the time tells me off if she catches me eating what I shouldn't.
If you fancy supporting each other, can I email you?
Hi scottie
Your so right about the people in essex, as for the essex girl jokes we just know how to have a good time! i miss it so much, i live on the surrey stockbroker belt so its all middle class and stuck up, they hear my accent and dont want to know, i just laugh I am true to myself and if that means keeping my rough accent I am.
I will try and track down the site where i found the liver function details, i havent looked at it for a while, i got it of this site though on one of the ads. I read all they had and watched the video, now i am just following the princables no processed food or refined sugar i (well husband) is making everything fro scratch so i know exactly what is going in it. did you know there was sugar in bread? im only doing this during the week as i like to relax at the weekends after a long week at work so i am not losing weight as fast as i like but we all need some kind of life hey.
Cutting carbs is a nightmare for me to my husband is itailian and does all the cooking so lots of pasta and rice but he is getting better now and doing more salads i just skip the side of pasta even though its **** saying no.
Good luck i hope you find something that works for you honey. I will send on a link to the site once i have tracked it down
Take care Marie xx

Yeah they had the extra easy plan but ive always found i lose the most weight when i stick with either protein or carb and not mix them in a meal so i always stuck with the red days! I know what you mean about being easily persuaded, my boyfriend only has to whisper 'the harvester' and im already in my car ready to hit the salad cart bread rolls!!
