How I lost it!

‘I was on a girls’ holiday in France and wanted to buy a pair of jeans. My friends were waiting while I struggled to find a pair that fitted. Eventually I did – a size 24 pair!

I was really fed up with being fat. Over the years, I’d stare at my ever-growing body in the mirror and promise myself that by summer I’d be thin again.

I broke that promise year after year until I discovered Weight Loss Resources. With this online calorie counting diet, I’ve learnt to eat well and I’ve discovered exercise. Before my only exercise used to be walking from the car to the kerb - now I run over 150 miles a month!

I log on and fill in my diary every day, even when I’m on holiday! It’s easy to use, there’s a help team if you have a problem, and forums to swap advice and tips. At £9.74 a month it’s also brilliant value.

The No Diet Guide to Losing Weight by WLR

We are into the lead up to summer and for many of us this spells a strict diet and weeks of starvation and deprivation. But in reality, this isn’t the healthiest or happiest way to lose weight and doesn’t offer a long term solution to keeping those pounds off.

Your credit crunch Superfood Shopping List
Being frugal doesn’t have to mean eating junk. Juliette Kellow, dietitian for www.weightlossresources.co.uk gives us cheap food ideas that are still super…

• Canned Salmon – Salmon is a great source of omega 3 fats, essential for heart health and brain function, as well as supple joints and healthy skin. Canned salmon is cheaper and just as good as fresh salmon.
• Broccoli – Packed with cancer-fighting anti-oxidants as well as immune-boosting Vitamin C and potassium.
• Canned tomatoes – Again, cheaper than fresh and a great choice for pasta sauces. They’re also packed full of lycopene, which has been linked to fighting certain cancers.
• Oats – A brilliant source of fibre, they’ll fill you up by keeping blood sugar levels stable and are also good for cholesterol. A bowl of porridge is a brilliant, inexpensive breakfast.
• Carrots – A good source of beta-carotene, which the body converts into vitamin A – important for healthy eyesight and a good immune system. More beta-carotene is absorbed from cooked carrots.

The diets that work for us

The food diary diet

Lisa Elliot, 39, has lost more than six stone in three years with Weight Loss Resources – the online calorie counter and food diary. She is PA to a business consultant and lives in Birmingham with her husband and three children.

I was big even as a girl – I think it comes from growing up eating high calorie Afro-Caribbean food – and over the years I’ve tried so many ways to lose weight.

While surfing the internet, I found Weight Loss Resources. Their diet is based on calorie counting – you key in your age, height (me: 5ft 7), weight (by then 17 stone nine pounds) and activity level (‘moderately sedentary’, as I have a desk job). You also put in your goal weight and how many pounds a week you want to lose (from just ½ pound to two pounds). It then works out how many calories a day you need to achieve your goal – for me, that’s 1,381 until I reach ten and a half stone. What’s brilliant is that at the end of each day I type in what I’ve eaten and it works out the total calories.

Some people find calorie counting restrictive, but it works for me as nothing is a sin as long as I don’t exceed my daily total. Now, instead of having fried chicken and chips for dinner, I might have steamed fish and vegetables, and I weigh my food so that I eat proper portions rather than filling my plate.

The other big change is that I exercise. You key in the amount of activity you do, which either lets you increase your calorie total or speeds up your weight loss. I run four times a week and I’ve gone from feeling like my heart would stop to training for a half marathon.
When I was bigger I felt that people noticed my weight first, not who I was. Today I’m 11 stone four pounds. I look good and I feel good – and I’ve found a tool that has helped me to achieve that.

…It’s essential to keep a food diary for weight-loss. Research shows that more people lose weight when they keep a note of what they eat and it will certainly help you control calorie intake and identify where you may be going wrong. That’s why our fantastic free food and exercise diary from Weight Loss Resources (www.weightlossresources.co.uk) is a great gift to help you lose weight and tone up in 2009!

Why keep a food diary??

Weight Loss Resources dietitian, Lyndel Costain, BSc RD quotes some US research, which shows there is scientific evidence that keeping a food diary, helps with weight-loss. Lyndel emphasises that keeping a food diary is not meant to make you feel guilty about what you eat. Rather, a food diary will help you to recognise and work on the problem areas that have been stopping you from making the changes you need.’

‘I lost over 2st and boosted my confidence.’

Katherine Chamberlin

‘Around 18 months ago, I decided to go on a diet. At 5ft 7, I weighed 12st. I wasn’t an unhealthy eater, but I did have a problem controlling portion sizes and the pounds had crept on, making me a large size 14.

At www.weightlossresources.co.uk it shows you how to slim safely, week by week, providing you with suggested meals and calorie content. I used recipes with specific portion sizes which helped and also started an online food diary. It took five months to reach 9st 7 which I am today – and I’ve never felt so confident.’

"Don’t eat for two – Why piling on the pounds is bad for you and baby"

"Pregnant? Craving chocolate and chips? Why watch your weight when you’ll be in baggy clothes anyway? Obesity in pregnancy is a problem that doctors, midwives and future mums can’t ignore. It’s predicted that by 2010 one in five mums-to-be will be obese. But the best time to lose weight is before trying for a baby or between pregnancies. Juliette Kellow is a dietitian for online diet club weightlossresources.co.uk. She says: ‘To lose weight before you get pregnant, don’t use any diets that restrict food groups. They make you lose vitamins and mineral stores, which growing babies need. Low-GI diets follow healthy-eating rules. Extra calories aren’t necessary in pregnancy until the last three months. Then only about 200 a day more – many women don’t even need them.’"

"Mums make themselves fat by pinching food off their KIDS, an astonishing new survey has revealed. Finishing off children’s meals ‘to avoid waste’ and nicking the odd chip adds up to an extra 1,404 calories each week. That’s enough to put on a whopping ONE STONE SIX POUNDS in a year.

"One in five finishes off the kids’ meals, according to the survey of 2,500 mums by internet firm www.weightlossresources. And 16% deliberately cook too much so they can eat some themselves.

"Lose Weight Without Dieting"

"Eat Breakfast

"Eating breakfast is one thing that makes a big difference in weight management,’ says Juliette Kellow, registered dietician and consultant to www.weightlossresources.co.uk. ‘When we skip meals, our blood sugar levels drop dramatically and this usually leaves us feeling low in energy, tired, hungry, irritable and having carb cravings. Consequently, we’re more likely to grab fatty or sugary foods later in the day to fill us up which can result in a greater calorie intake overall.’"

"Diets on Trial: Internet Dieting"

 

"WLR contains a huge amount of useful information about slimming, a recipe database and a forum where you can talk with other dieters. But the bit I was most interested in was the calorie counter and food diary. This is like an online slimming group. It can help you set a target weight and calculate calories for you; it also allows you to track your progress on weight-loss and body-fat charts.

 

"Pros: The Weight Loss Resources site is easy to use and great if you don’t fancy working out the calorie content of food yourself. There are also lots of good sections with tips, charts to show you how you’re doing, and information to ensure you eat a healthy, balanced diet. And it’s cheaper than a traditional slimming club.

 

"Recommended for... Busy slimmers who like getting lots of information about health and already know what constitutes a balanced diet."
