Icmeler Online Holiday Forum & Reviews - Turkey

Hi Folks , been dieting for the last 5 months for me hols,as I do every year and just been struck by the thought tonight , is it bloody all worth it, will get there and look round and thinks"well others fatter than me" and they dont care , so here goes another cheese butty sue xxxx

My thoughts exactly Sue! I've been dieting since mid January and have been yo-yoing since, think its about 9lbs I've lost altogether and is it worth it? As you say when you get there you don't care anyway, my only problem is 'will my clothes fit the second week?'

Oh how true, been trying hard but there's always a packet of crips lurking in the cupboard. Just hope all my new clothes fit - got 9 weeks - is it possible to loose 2 stone in 9 weeks

i dunno what it is with me but i always seem to lose weight when im on holiday
i dont know if its cause i dont eat much during the day just lunch and then my meal at night
cause i do heaps of exercise here which is weird
xxxx

I always lose weight on holiday. I think its because we walk so much and don't eat very big meals as its so hot.
I don't like to diet as such, but for the last few months I have been trying to change my eating habits, not depriving myself but just being careful and slowly but surely the weight is coming off.
I don't care if I only lose 1/2 lb per week because hopefully it will stay off.

hi sue am up and down all the time but allways put on weight on holiday love my food to much and lovely cold effes what could be better but got to be able to get into my holiday clothes

I joined the gym in Febuary and have lost a stone up to now So proud of myself because i never thought i would stick at it!! I have just over 5 weeks till my first holiday to shift the 5lb i want to..1lb a week!!

Well done to everyone else..keep going!!

Well done Becki i have only been doing it for a week but stopped smoking first. I think Icmeler is the kind of place where no-one is bothered by how someone looks and besides who cares what anyone else thinks. Don't do it if you have had enough be happy and proud of who you are

Thanks Jozzyd!I did it for myself mainly not just because i was going on holiday though

Hope you enjoyed your cheese butty .

I have finished dieting now and I have lost all the weight I wanted to lose, but now I am maintaining by counting calories until I get my portion sizes sorted, then I will just opt for 3 healthy meals a day with a few snacks to avoid losing.

Totally.

I have a target weight though, I put on weight when taking my exams earlier this year (Comfort eating, stress - happens). Just got back from hols, and somehow I didn't put weight on

Oh well, back to jogging to work every day and an apple for lunch, works for me

It is the feeling of achieving a goal when we lose weight.
Loseing a little weight is good for our health as well as the "feel good factor".
Is it all worth it?
Only you will know when you get those wolf whistles from the Turkish male population as I did on my recent holiday and I am a bloke.
