Hiya 6
This may sound silly, but apart from the CFS and being a bit lardy I am not actually doing to bad at the mo :-) Though that is a bit like saying that apart from the engine being blown up the car is a nice runner ;-) But I am working on it!
My relationship with food has been a bit weird lately. Trying so hard to focus on loosing the weight I can't enjoy it so much (I am normally really good at that bit). But what has happened is that my appetite has dropped too. I noticed it first once I got into the swing of taking the Amla, but it was when I started with Green Tea Extract that there was a definite reduction of my appetite. I still can get hungry but I am doing better at refusing to give in, and after a short while the hunger drops down again. Not showing too much on the scales yet but the podge seems to be getting a little squidgier.
So you are a secret snacker then? Suppose it's just a matter of choosing something that is slow release rather than hitting the system with a big spike of sugar and fats?
I am getting really impressed about what they are learning about exercise. Fitness training is a whole other game of course, but for weight loss just keeping active throughout the day is being shown in study after study to be surprisingly effective. Especially getting out of puff every so often. ScarletBloom reminded me of a study I read recently where we actually expel most of our fat loss when we breathe! I did a quick Google and there is a lot of info out there, but to give a taster I have included this link.

Took a while but I have (mostly) broken my addiction with fizzy pop. It's those gorgeous white chocolate biscuits and proper Scottish shortcake that's my current downfall! I have had to ban them all from the house! But maan! They are soooo nice!
Had to grin at your "proper" tea comment :-D Quite right too! I know our American cousins do try (bless um :-) But there is only one way to have a decent brew. (Heheheh... Wars have been started over less ;-)
OoooOOOOoooo..... What's this about "interesting" results???? You can't just drop that into a conversation and leave it hanging??
