I have PCOS which I have all the problem with this is the light's I been since 2003 and started to ovulate again which is fantastic as this hasn't happened for about 4 years. Dose any one have some suggestion you me to do to stay on track with the diet Jemma

I am back on WW and back on here.

Hey peeps,


Does anyone have any recommendations for iPhone apps, different things really:

Recipes (low carb for when on to maintenance)
Games (candy crush is my obsession)
Etc

I'm trying to get some things on my phone to keep me going and as I'm not far of target maintenance is my big issue I'm actually terrified of eating again and knowing what to make etc I'm great at baking (bad for me) and my hubby is one of those people that could eat everything out the fryer and still be slim. So ideas welcome xxxxx

So I can go out on a Saturday night, and drink water whilst all my friends are going crazy on the booze - I was fine, but noticed they all STUNK of alcohol!!

However on a Sunday, I was craving a cooked breakfast... So I did the kids sausage, bacon & egg sandwiches, and just had the sausage, bacon (fat trimmed) & an egg... But also made a hybrid roast (chicken, plus veg for me, and chips & baked beans for them)... I'm meant to be on SS+.. not SS+++++++!!! lol!

I love drinking, so I'm really pleased with myself for resisting that, but why oh why did I have to have 2 meals today!????

I only have 2 weeks of 'operation bikini' left, have lost just over a stone in 4 weeks (had done it in 2 weeks, but then last week wasn't good (+2lbs), although I have lost it again this week).

Why am I ok when I am challenged sometimes, but not ok others?! x

Still not in ketosis and its the end of day 4 hope I wake up tomorrow with ketosis breath lol

I lasted until 6pm and I was soooooo hungry I had a binge!!

I am so annoyed with myself,why cant I do it? :-( I know it sounds pathetic but I actually feel like crying!

Anyone doing the 8 hour diet? This comes under the category of intermittent fasting. So I hope I'm not in the wrong place.
I just wondered about people's views of this, does it work?
Thanks

Hi guys I'm so so so fed up with myself I could just cry :(. Been on track now for almost 3 wks and today for some reason I completely fell off plan by munching down on a whole block if Tesco Brie cheese !!!! It has almost 700 cals !!!! U had no idea it would be do bad and have just picked and picked at it all day until its done :(. Don't know why I did this as my weigh in is tomorrow ???? Anyone else having the same problem

Biff xxx

In the last 5 years I have grown to 12st 9 and prior to that never been over 9 & half stone in my life. During the last few years I have done WW, SW & Atkins but seem to lose my way - I lead a very stressful busy life !! I am in Italy at mo on hols and although I have lost 18 inches and got down to 12.1 since feb with 3 PT sessions and 3 spin classes a week I hoped I'd look better than I do. I am food phobic when it comes to salad and veg so I always struggle with diets and have tried every slimming tablet going but always struggle with the healthy eating side of things as it requires massive amounts of time I don't have to prepare healthy foods. I'm 95% sure I'm gonna start Lipotrim on Friday - I land Thursday and will head straight to chemist. I have had all my bloods checked for hormones, thyroid etc but it just seems that no matter how much effort I put in exercise and diet wise I just don't loose weight. My husband is ALWAYS saying " I just don't get it - all your doing and your not really losing " all I have to show for my efforts is that he has witnessed everything I've done and is totally shocked that I'm not even a stone down. My main problem area is round my waist. Does anyone have any idea why I'm like this and do you think Lipotrim is my best way forward ? Many thanks in advance x

Hi, Does anyone know the syn value of Aldi Weetabix per biscuit thx :rolleyes:

Hi all,

Im really worried about whats the best drink to have thats not going to throw me off brilliant success so far!? I havent drank since way before I started my diet 7weeks ago, my usual tipple is either southern comfort and diet coke or dissarano and coke :) any suggestions much welcome! X

Just having a wee look about just now, planning to start my diet seriously tomorrow using the asda meal replacement shakes. X

Hi all, I have a problem with my ticker :( I've updated my weight on it, and it displays ok on the TickerFactory site, but when I copy the code for my sig and save it it still shows my old weight? :(

Ive ordered some flavourigs, noodles and choc spread from the Dukan site, just not sure how long they take to arrive. Does anyone know, on average, how long they take to come?

Hi, Lurked around the boards for a while but now a new member, I have just started exante and thought maybe the support on here will help me get through it!

I have a fair amount of weight to lose but for now I have set myself a goal of 40lb. I get married in 3 months, and I know around this weight my face looks a lot slimmer, and I know although I will still be a 'big' bride I will be a lot happier looking back at my wedding pictures losing this weight!

The only downside will be the alterations on my dress, but I am sure if I make my goal I won't mind the added expense :)

How have you found it? Any tips for making the soups more interesting?

So, at least two months ago I bought all my supplies for starting S&S. I took 'before' pictures, I got my diary started, I felt motivated and ready, but then....

I tried a soup - hated it.
I tried a meal - hated it.
I tried a shake - hated it.

After a week of hating everything & going through the dreaded 'ketosis flu' I gave up.

This week I am going through EVERY different S&S pack and I WILL find something that I like. I should have done that in the first place, but I just wasn't in the right frame of mind. I've had a hectic, stressful month and I think that made it even more difficult to start this diet, but I'm ready now.

So, hi! I've missed the motivation that this website provides. I hope I can still reach my goal in time for Xmas. :)

Are they free or syned? I'm referring to plain dried ones. Thank you

Hi there

This is my 2nd week of WW- moving over from SW. Bit disappointed because managed to put on 0.5lb even though only used half weeklies and did 3 body combat and a spinning class!

I'm trying to lose some weight before start 2nd cycle of IVF in june, wasn't getting anywhere with SW so have decided to give WW a go-though have left it a bit late and should have started this months ago!

Hoping this week I manage to lose something :(

I've been attempting slimming world (again) for a couple of weeks and I have really struggled, I just find it too restrictive because I'm such a fussy eater. I have done weight watchers before but to be honest never given it my all, I used the excuse that I hated pointing everything up and I do but well but at least I can have what ever I want just smaller quantities which has got to be better than living off pasta, cheese and beans.
So I signed up online on Monday night and I have lost 6lbs so far :D I have 51 points a day so at the moment I'm finding things rather easy, I'm working on little changes, Like 1 sandwich and a nana for lunch rather then 2 and a bag of crisps.

Whatever diet I do Its going to be a very long journey so may as well do one I get to eat what I enjoy.

Hi everyone

Well I have a wedding to attend on June 22nd and really don't want to be a fattie like I was at the last wedding I attended :mad:

First week went really well and lost 8lbs, this week however has been more of a struggle. Feel more hungry, still drinking plenty of water and i've done more exercise this week (walking and generally on the go) but don't feel as though I have lost much. :confused:

Had bit of toilet issue but took a dulcolax which seem to help 24 hrs later but think I could do with another but don't want to take when I have work tomorrow so may have to wait till wed night.

Generally not feeling as positive this week but will see what tue wi and measurements are, do hope I feel more positive tomorrow else this is going to be a looong journey!!!!

Goal is to lose 4st overall.
1st goal is to get out of 15's and into 14's
2nd goal is to be at least 14st 7lbs by 22nd June - is this reasonable???

Hello all, just popping in to say hi. Starting back on weight watchers. I have pcos and me and hubs have been trying to get pregnant for 7 months. I'm hoping loosing weight will help us get pregnant with our first child. Certainly have something to keep me motivated!

Just finished this book, it's a good read for anyone on a VLCD. Try it, reading fills the gap created by not eating. This book suggests learning to play a musical instrument as distraction - but I just read the book.
Good luck Exanters.

does this mean my bodie is in ketotsis?????

Hi all, I'm looking for some software which I could use for my weight loss journey. I want to include spreadsheet files, word files and a photo album. If possible I'd love the option to include music files and a calendar and to-do list. At the moment I save all these on my hard drive and access them separately. I suppose I could print out stuff and stick into a scrapbook/book/folder, but as I love using the computer I'd prefer a digital solution. I've trawled thro the net and can't find anything that supports all the above. Maybe I'm chasing an elusive dream, but for the first time in my life I'm really losing weight and want to record the journey.

Just thought I'd put out the question to see if anyone had any suggestions. Thanks in advance :)

Hai you guys :wave_cry:

only on day 3 of SS at the moment and really craving yummy things, it's soooo tempting to give up, I can't get pizza out of my head atm... it seems like such a long way away to get anywhere, the past 48 hours have been soooooooo long, and then I realise how much more I have to go xD I was fine up til about 10 minutes ago, then I burst into tears xD

Anyone cheer me up? :D <3
