You name it and I've probably done it. The most effective one was not dieting for a year. For some reason I lost over 2 1/2stone. It was the same with my pregnanacies.

 

[magicbeans]

wow so many things ppl tried!!

LOL at not dieting being the best thing..... shame that doesnt work on me...im constantly on a diet and balloon like a maniac when preg...actually last time i managed not to only because i became very diabetic! had no choice but to eat well for the sake of my daughter as she was having issues!

OMG jacqui...you was on the perscribe Speed!!!!....

seriously..i think i have tried everything..
.i had the best results with xenical(5 stone loss)

I remember being 13 and on the Cambridge diet!!!

I think out of everything , I got good results with Paul McKenna and Atkins.
The problem was me, I stopped doing them and got complacent, or impatient...or looked for something quicker or tried to accomodate my own rules, eg eating a load of rubbish and kidding myself I was doing it properly.
The band has made it 100 times easier to stick to a plan but it's still my responsibility to keep doing it rather than abandon it and then moan and wonder why I was still fat like I used to.
