i'm really struggling with this.

Amelia, I am impressed with Fitness Pal, I've been able to quickly set it up and add in my breakfast! No big chore sourcing calorie details it's just a click away! I think this might really help me, and you're quite right it gives a visual motivation to keep to the limit. Regardless of which way I go I will definitely use this to help me. And best of all it's Free!

BP our doctor simply recommends calorie controlled diets.

I really appreciate the input. I understand what you're saying Cofty and it sounds sensible too, my concern is that with very gradual weight loss I lose heart too easily, which defeats the object, so I think Black Sheep's suggestion might have been useful to help me there. I have found Fitness Pal and am downloading it to my Ipad, thank you Amelia, it will help me whichever way I go, I'm sure. I will also check out your recommend Unstop but I don't cope with caffeine even in coffee very well, so that might be tricky.
i have just spent an hour watching the Horizon programme in the link that Oldlight posted, and to be honest it's fascinating. It's based on 2 days a week on a limited (400 cal) fasting and 5 days normal eating, and seems to be very effective.

Sorry but that is terrible advice. Complex carbs are your best friend.
Oh look, now I'm confused!

Hey Cofty that's really comprehensive advice and very helpful, thank you. I might combine what you're saying with the abstaining from bread and potatoes. Yes I can add on to my exercise in ways that you suggest, if it takes only these adjustments I can increase it slowly too. My downfalls are dairy products really, I love cheeses in particular, but am not a big sweet or chocolate fan. I do like a glass of wine or two and that's full of calories I realise!

If that doesn't work, then look at fad diets or go back to smoking.
This made me chuckle BS! Don't wrap it up will you ha ha. I might try to dump the carbs actually, I think I could live with that? I do take moderate excerise and I lead a busy life but I have to leave the strenuous stuff out or else I become very unwell. It really isnt an 'excuse'. I have M.E. and Fibromyalgia which respond badly to it.

I'm really struggling with this. I gave up smoking a few months back and have put on around 20lbs already. It's really getting me down. I've gone up another dress size and I wasn't slim to begin with! It doesn't help that I'm only 5' 2" either.
I need to decide, back to Weight Watchers or try the Cambridge diet, or what? If anyone knows of any pills that work/help I'd appreciate the info? Exercise is not so easy for me because of health issues.

Hello New22day and welcome. I'm sorry you've been treated like this. The hypocrisy of the guy is deplorable isn't it, getting reinstated while having a forbidden sexual relationship with you. If you wanted to get even, you could write to the elders at his hall and tell them, that would rain on his lovely reinstated parade. But for your personal benefit I'm not sure revenge is a good thing. This guy has proven to be a liar who has used you and treated you badly. You deserve much better. Let him go and move on, the sadness will ease up for you and learn from it and choose more wisely next time? I wish you well.

you may have heard the expression: "the map is not the territory.
" have you ever thought about how this idea may help you reach your loved ones stuck in a cult?
the phrase has been attributed to polish-american scientist and philosopher alfred korzybski.
Torn apart - it must be so hard honey. Many of us probably don't appreciate how hard. You have my respect and admiration for holding it all together for your family and still maintaining your inner integrity. I believe it will pay off for you in the end. Keep going. The WTBS is a phenomenal enemy but you have sincerity on your side. Oh and God himself, for sure.

I think that any methods that can help free loved ones from the grip of the WTBS are worth considering. I hope this results in some well planned tactics that can be used.
