I voted other. I am not dieting like my neighbor doing the Atkins diet. I am not eating like my other neighbor who just eats, and I am not calorie counting. It is a lifestyle change for me because I am drinking my water to the right levels, eating portions of meals...which I never did before and making time to do my workouts which I never did before either.

Have you ever chatted about that with your neighbors ?
One that lasts forever too :)

Lifestyle is really different from when I first started. I used to drink less water, no exercise, eat a bit more, after meals I would just sit more, etc. Not anymore.

I will mention it slowly to my neighbors to see what their reaction is one day Hugs.

Both work best for me. The thing is to keep doing it and that's where I fail sometimes! I always eat healthy at home except for occasions where I'll buy something bad for me, but that doesn't happen very

How terrific Dtep,
You both should be so proud of you for doing what you have done ..
Definitely a great role model for you son .
Oh dear on DH though ::sigh::
Is he the type that can eat anything without gaining ?
Yes it's hard I think for men to *get* the whole picture.
Least you are set with your new way of living which os awesome.
Let's hope DH follows suit sooner than later ;)

Went with other...
A diet like Atkins would be easier 'cos there it's all written down for me to follow, but I don't want to spend the rest of my life on a diet...
A healthy lifestyle is not really happening at the moment eithe 'cos when I lose the plot I do it good & proper & it takes a while to get back on the wagon again...
Guess muddling my way back to a healthier lifestyle is what is working for me right now!
