I went from size 18 (uk) to size 10. I am currently 12/14 but was edging more to 14. Found the blood sugar diet and against my natural instincts started it. Today I feel so ill, carb flu. Think I will have to go back to plain old calorie counting. I cook from scratch and only eat clean food which is more important to me…

Cannot do without fruit. It is difficult enough being veggie and doing low carb!

I drink my coffee black and no sugar! Wouldn't touch it!

I will be a scary 59 in a couple of weeks. I am an English woman living in France. I have been here six years having taken early retirement when my hubby was made redundant. In the last twenty years I have gone from UK size 18 to size 10 and am currently a size 14. I would like to be a 12! My life has changed beyond…

Two weeks and feel in control!

I tried 5:2 and had no problem going all day without food and having an evening meal no more than 300 calls for two days. My problem was I overeat on the food days as I am so hungry. I also had lots of migraines whilst on it and found hunger was a trigger. I am happiest counting calories and eating regularly.

I used to live on weight watchers products until I realized how many chemicals they contained. I now eat clean food. It means having less but it tastes so much better.

Used to be in West Sussex now in Normandy, France!

Oooh it's another world! I cook nearly everything from scratch as none of this sort of thing in my local supermarket! Off to have my calorie counted homemade vanilla sponge cake with a black coffee!

I am 58, nearly 59 with three grown children and four grandchildren. I have around 30lbs to lose.....again. I live in France and am creating a smallholding which gives me lots of exercise! I have chickens, ducks and geese at the moment! I am also vegetarian.

I too take one day at a time. It is the only way. I weigh on the first of each month to stop me becoming obsessed. I feel I have spent most of my adult life gaining and losing weight and am very tired of the whole diet thing. This time I am eating normal food calorie counted so nothing is banned. I live in France where…

First day back too! The more the merrier!

It is weird but if I can resist chocolate for a day or two I no longer want it until I have it again! Am now on 24hrs without! I can see a jar of snickers in my kitchen! Hubby likes them! I will NOT eat any!

The scales can rule my life so I weigh on first of every month and put the scales away until needed. I have tried variations but this works for me.

Normandy France

I gave up and am fat again. I don't want to be! I have done it before and know I can do it again. Must get back to 10st.
