Kelda:
Both of these are great ideas!

Those veggies are lower on the glycemic index, and will actually make the 'tates more delicious. Add a little butter or olive oil, low-fat milk or sour cream, chives or garlic.
Leftovers? Form them into patties, coat them in breadcrumbs or the like, a little parmesan, and lightly sautee.

Count me in guys. My new regime starts tomorrow. Been back at home a week so time to get back into real life.
I'd like to get back to the weight I was just after I did my trek round Cuba, and just as I met Callum.... I was still a little over the recommended weight but felt good and I think to get back to this would be really good.
I've put on about 28lbs since then. I guess thats what happiness does for you eh!?
So it's 28 lbs for me.
To do this... its back to just doing a lot of walking and eating more sensibly.. that did the trick the last time (before Cuba) and I lost 4 stone.
I'm also doing pilates every Wednesday lunchtime.

Some of us react to stress by eating even more. When times are tough, food is the one thing you know will be comforting and enjoyable -- even if you also know that gaining weight will only make you feel worse in the long run.

Very true, Katherine...in addition to bad times, food is also my companion for happy, celebratory times. :-\

Welcome aboard friend Kelda! Now don't get too carried away...I want to be able to recognize you when I meet you in June! But even with your svelte body, I'm sure I will recognize your lovely face, so get as carried away as you want! Another plus will be dining with you on lovely Scottish food (which I'm sure I will love) and tramping around the moors and lochs with you or wherever our hearts will lead us!

Sure enough! Plus so much of socializing seems to revolve around food and drink. Most people I know, what do they do when they want to get together with friends? Go to a bar for cocktails, or go to a resaurant for dinner, and frequently both in the same evening. Nothing wrong with it, but it doesn't seem particularly diet friendly. For me, even if I choose smart foods in a restaurant, the portions are still larger than I would make for myself at home. :-\
