Thanks girls, I was 6 stone lighter 10 years ago and would be thrilled to get back to that by Xmas, wedding and Vegas in Sept so mini goal of 3 stone of by then. Couldn't do it without the support and encouragement of places like this so thanks x x x

I hope to be along the same lines as you but am not exercising as much due to time as my Ava is only 15 months so am busy with her a lot of the time. I have my fingers and toes crossed for us both xo

Thanks wagglestaff, this place is great as so many of us started around the same time. I'm sure you will do fab at weigh in x x x

Well it's the end of day 8 and It just gets better. I love the new flavours so am still hyper about the plan.
Ive now tried the Tomato soup and the leek and potato which were both nice. I love the apple and cinnamon porridge.
Hubby to be said he could see a difference in my back and my tummy today. He may have just been being extra nice.
I feel slimmer already and at 16.6 now I cant wait to get into the 15's
It would be AMAZING if I could get there on my next weigh in but I'm in this for long haul so if I don't it's not the end of the world.
I slept for 12 hours last night, Something I've not done for years so although I feel great I must be lacking a bit energy. I have also noticed my sleep is a bit deeper and altogether a much better nights sleep. Planning another 2 good walks this week if I can fit them in.
Again I just want to say thanks for all the support on here, twitter and facebook, everyone is just so great which is what I need as only my hubby to be and 1 of my daughter know I am on the plan x

well done! 11lbs is amazing too!

Just a quick update,
Today is day 10 and I have stuck 100% to ss, I feel much better, I know I look better and my fitness level has already improved which is amazing in such a short space of time.

HOWEVER......... today I took delivery of my new weight watchers body analyst scales and they have me at 16.5 and three quarter's which is only a quarter of a pound less than my weigh in on day 7 ( 3 days ago ) I had hoped this week would be another decent loss as it is only my 2nd week and I have hand on heart stuck to it 100%. Im trying not to read to much into it and will do a good 11 mile walk tomorrow as I want a decent loss.

The moral of my post is stick to your cdc scales once a week lol
It could be I had the scales on my uneven kitchen floor so I shall keep the faith after all the fact that I have been 100% is something to celebrate regardless of what the scales say.

Still 4 days till weigh in so all is not lost x x x

You're doing so well! I agree about sticking to one set of scales, I bought a very expensive set, when I place them by the door I weigh 3lb more than when I place them by the sink!

They sound like mine lol I tried 3 areas in the kitchen and was getting conflicting readings, when my CDC is here sat I will place them where hers are if they are wring I shall return them and stick to good old boots the chemist for my once a week weigh in as I like to keep the print out with my stats on x x x

Hey just checking you ok i read another post where people kinda took things the wrong way and targeted you a bit =S

On the topic of scales i literally threw mine out so have no clue what i have lost until i have my WI. My scales were just soooo way off my cdc that in week 1 i chucked them lol =D

Thanks Yolande
I was a bit gobsmacked but I'm fine now. I know things can get taken the wrong way on forums as there is no tone of voice with the words but I would never mean to offend anyone.

I'm going to leave the scales under the bed from now on at least until Sat and if they don't read the same as my CDC I shall return them for a refund lol
Thanks x x x

Day 11,
still 100% on track
After the disappointment with my new scales yesterday I HAD to go to my local boots store where I weigh in weekly and thankfully they have me at a loss rather than my new ones which have me at 3 different weights depending where I place them. I will be returning them to Tesco for a full refund lol. I will now stick to my once a week weigh in !
I managed to get through a buffet tea tonight for my daughters birthday, Few family and friends round and although I know I used to love the taste of lots of the food I was by no way tempted as for me I think once I break my 100% run it could be a slippery road. I am however at a wedding a week on Friday and will have a planned break for the day but still be extremely careful as I get weighed the day after the wedding. I DON NOT want my hard work going down the pan. I know I can do this and I know I will look wayyyyyyyyy better in the summer x x x

Day 12 today and I can see changes !
I was brave enough to try " normal " clothes, Dorothy Perkins dresses to be precise.
I usually stick to shops where I KNOW I will fit ie Inspire from New look, Simply be, Yours clothing but Today with a spring in my step I popped in and tried a dress, My size varies so much from a generous 18 ( at a squeeze ) to a 24 but today I tried a 20 dress and after losing 11lb last week it fitted ! I'm not going to say it looked as good as it could but tonight I've placed a order for 3 online ( I always order online for cash back ) 1 blue, 1 leopard print and 1 plain black all similar designs and I cant wait to feel super fab in them. I am AMAZED how fast this plan works and how good it makes me feel.
I feel so positive, More positive than I have for a long time. A few years ago I was in Dotty p's size 14 and I will get back there by the end of the summer but for now I will be happy to fit nicely into the 20.
One step at a time and I know a good dress maker who can take them in for me lol.

Next update on Sat after my 2nd weigh in, Can't wait !

Ah thats great you are already noticing and feeling so positive good idea to stick to your weekly weigh in and you are so determined and focused i reckon your break at that wedding will not do much damage and you will be straight back at it =D
Keep up all the positive energy and thoughts you are doing fab!!

Wowza.......... 2 weeks in and I have lost 16lb !
I have never lost a stone in under a month so I am thrilled. I still have a long way to go and I know it will slow down a bit from now on in but I am still very focused and already can't wait for my next weigh in. Still feeling great and lots of energy.
I am back to work today after a few weeks off, no-one from work knows I am on the plan so I am going to have to be very careful how I do this, I work on trains so it can be quite a active job but I WILL manage.
I have a wedding next Friday which I must attend as it's my sis in law. I will eat the chicken and veg and class it as a SS+ day.That will be my 1st proper food for 3 weeks, I am NOT looking forward to it at all, next weigh in is the morning after the wedding and my goal is to be in the 15's, currently 16.1 so it should be achievable ?
Even worse for me is the week after I have a overnight trip away with a friend to Edinburgh, We would usually drink and eat in excess for 48 hours so god knows how I am going to manage that session but as Its the weekend I will have a week to get back on track before seeing my CDC again so fingers crossed I have time to undo anything which I have done. Had a good talk to CDC this morning and I am pleased she said sometimes a small break can give the body another boost ? I shall wait and see lol.
I have to say I don't think I could have got this far without the support and encouragement from everyone on here so thanks everyone x x x

Yaaayyy well done on another great loss!!!!! over a stone in 2 weeks is amazing! I think you will be fine next weekend its a planned break and you will be in control and i know you will get straight back on track after =D
