In August 2000 i was 25st, in June 2001 i was 16st 5lb. No cheats, just dieting. I lost 53.5KG in total, a third of my body weight. Its about as low as i could go because i have a very heavy set frame and lots of muscle.

I also lost 16 inches off my waist, from 52 inches to 36.

Over the years i have gone up a bit, peaking at about 20st just after christmas last year, but at 10 years older i felt worse than ever. Currently im back on my way down, being about 18st 4 now. The most important thing is my chest is bigger than my gut

I doubt ill get to 16st something again, but another stone or so would be nice.

Basically everything. I went down to about 700 calories a day.

I wont pretend it was healthy or measured, it was just one of those life changing things where something 'pings' in your brain and you just do it. It wasnt even difficult.

This time is VERY hard because im not in the same state of mind, but i can see it working so im happy. This time im eating as few complex carbs as possible, so no rice, pasta, bread etc, and i keep the fat down as low as pssible, but its not an ultra low carb diet like Atkins, which are dangerous.

Was just reading through this thread and what you've been up to. Re;- Cereals.

I usually have 8 weetabix a day. 4 am and 4 pm or for supper a fruit muesli. Plus normal but small meals during the day but only when I'm hungry and at no set times. Seems to work as my weight hardly varies.

Since I discovered Weetabix in the 1950's I have eaten at least 120,000 of them !!!

Roughage or what !! LOl,

My wife says they have polished up my intestines so well that food shoots straight through me without it having time to be digested and that's why I stay slim.

Here is one recipe for you. A herbal milky drink.

I am not used to it but had milk straight from the cow this morning with my cereal. Added in crushed garlic and castor oil. Heated up and the sediment was supposed to do the magic and then poured over the bran. It was recommended as a herbal remedy for arthritis and weight loss. I tell you, I have been in all day sitting on the loo and throwing up. I do feel as though I have lost half a stone.

One remedy, I will not be trying again.

Is that empass or ermpass?

I looked up some of those herbal diets on line and most of them involve losing weight through the fluid loss and runs method. Not recommended.
