Im doing ww atm and gav also wants to lose some weight before we go on holiday in June. He quite liked the SW diet when i used to do it as hes a Joiner and is on the go alot he needs alot of food!

Hes quite pesimistic tho as says he doesnt think itll work - i think hes a bit proud to admit hes following a certain diet!!!

So has your OH ever dieted and if so which one and how successful were they?

x

my oh dieting jst now but he is jst doin the same as me cutting out all rubbish (crisps, sweets, juice, takeaways)
he is having fruit as snacks and only drinking water or cups tea/coffee eating a normal tea (we always have healthyish tea anyway plenty of veg)
and in his first week he lost 5lb

im not buyin any goodies wen i go shopping so that he has no choice but to stick to it

david's never followed a diet but when he wants to lose weight he just cuts right back on alcohol and eats better, blokes lose weight so quickly though, its so unfair!

Yeah the seafood/seefood diet

sam can't diet in general because he's diabetic...but he tends to 'cut down' on food when he knows he has to binge cos of his sugar levels...so he's as bad as a dieter! lol

The Atkins is a good mans diet i think, Adam lost a stone in a few weeks and its just lots of meat which looks hard to other blokes GRRRRRRR

Lol!

Pete follows the old weighwatchers he doesnt go to meetings but has all the point books and things and follows that altho its changed now but it still works for him so hes kinda doing his own thing now xx

lol!!! i think he wud like the atkins but it seems a bit complicated?!

he done slim fast before and lost about 3 stone -just fell off him but he said he was hungry!

hes already cut right back on the booze and eating wat i eat for tea so hes doing well so far.

Dave has lost nearly 4 stone in last year. I've just asked him what he did........Cut down to 1500 calories a day for 6-8 weeks and went to the gym 3 times week. Now eats and drinks what he wants as long as goes gym 3 times a week.

Paul is on SW as of last week and is doing well. I'm following the same diet but can't go to the meetings with him coz of the kiddiewinks. I have lost 6lb this week and Paul weighs in tomorrow so I'll let you know how he did. It is a great diet for hungry blokes because there are loads of free foods that they can fill up on - infact paul is actually eating me out of house and home now and its doing my head in!

He has done it before a few years back (before he met me) and he dropped over 2 stone in 3 months.

James is doing the same diet as me, we are cutting 1000 cals off our recommended intake, James has 2000 a day I have 1200 ( I keep getting told off for not eating mine all)
He has lost 8lb since sat week (10days) I've lost 7lb we are also doing 30 wii free step and 30 free wii run...
He's really got motivated - although away on business next week for 3 weeks in Germany so may wobble a bit (not literally lol)

My oh is doing ww with me, But atm he cant go to the gym so he's really stressing out about that. He usually goes every day and does weights but becuase he's in a cast he cant.

I make his lunch and dinners, dinners tend to be healthy and lunch is sandwiches, He takes care if breakfast when he's out.

I think with men they don't like to say there on a diet, even just cutting back on rubbish seems to do the trick for them!

martin lost nearly 6 stone over the past couple of years and he just cut back the rubbish and he now takes a salad to work insted of sandwiches (with loads of stuff in it like chicken peppers closlaw and lots of other stuff )
the main thing i would say is he does alot more excercise he plays football on a sun training once or twice a week and he goes for a 10 min jog in the morning

the thing he has found now he can eat more and still maintain his weight because his motabalism is working better
good luck to him x

adam is on slimming world with me he is eating what i eat .. we have also both done the atkins thats easy peasy xx
