About me, I live in London and have mainly had sedentary jobs. I've tried most diets but with limited success. I decided to cut out excess carbs - rice, pasta, bread and cake. I eat mainly pulses, fish, vegetables, dairy, nuts/nut butter. I wear waist trainers to restrict portion size, now my portion sizes are comfortably small even without the waist trainer. I walk everyday and at work or at the train station I always take the stairs. I like the conversations on this site, which I find motivational. I would like fellow-guests on this site to contact me to swap ideas and good practise.
