Guess what...I'm starting a fresh from today! I have a meal out on Fri and family events at the weekend, so will prob just eat sensibility over the weekend but at least I'm making a start and sticking to it this week.

Hi, It depends what plan you are on. You can have either 4 shakes (or any STW product) or 3 shakes and a meal is how they advertise it. I tend to have 3 shakes a day.

I'm back to it today ladies. Had last week off plan and put on 4lb so I'm back to the shakes and soups. I'm determined this time to so at least 3 weeks solid. Want some really good losses to kick start me into healthy eating.

I've fallen off the wagon! Got loads of family meals this week so will start again on Mon!

I've been sooo good this week, stuck to my shakes, although a couple of days I've only managed to have 2 rather than 3/4 and I've been to the gym. Had a sneaky peak on the scales this morning and I'm only down 1.5lb ? what's happened!!!

So my LBT class was more of a HITT class, I was knackered and a bit lightheaded. Maybe that class on 2 shakes all day isn't a great idea. Might have to just stick to jogging or cycling in the gym. What does everyone else do exercise wise?

I've stuck with it today, just had a shake for my tea and got a chocolate one for later to make into a yummy hot choc as a treat. Just packs my gym bag for tomorrow. Fingers crossed I can get through this tough patch.

I'm really struggling this week. Had 1 meal in the past 10 days as just been living off shakes and now I'm craving people's lunches! Still sticking to my STW soup but finding it hard.

What does everyone do with regards to exercise? I've heard some people say it stops weight Loss when on a VLCD but I thought all exercise helped?

Well done Martine, that's a great loss! I sat and watch my family eat take away on Fri night and went out on Sat night and stuck to lime and soda. It was my mother in laws bday on Sun and we went to the local chippy, so I did have fish and chips tested lunch. It was SO nice and just having...

Hi, I'm in my first week of my very first VLCD. started on Monday and can't wait until next Monday to see if it's all been worth it. Keeping busy is defo the key when you feel hungry. I was starving at work today at about 4pm but worked a bit later and went straight to see my parents and got in...

I have a sore throat and am really tired but think it's just the diet. How long before Ketosis kicks in and I will be full of energy?

I'm good thanks, headaches have gone today. Looking forward to Monday to find out how much I've lost ? Have you noticed a difference in the at you look or your clothes then with losing 10lb, read somewhere that 10lb was a dress size!

Wow Jo. 10lb is amazing, isn't your first week?

I'm with you on that one, the soup is pink!! That was my lunch and dinner yesterday, threw the honey bar out after 1 bite. The chicken soup is really nice and creamy, mushroom is good too....still trying to decide if I like the veg one. Looking forward to my chocolate shake later with hot...

Thanks I'll have a look. Can you have sugar free squash or black tea/coffee?

I've just been having the STW products (4 a day) and water. What else can I drink?

Had mushroom soup tonight and it was yummy, really creamy and tasty. Also just had one of the milk chocolate bars. That was delicious, and felt nice to actually chew something! Hardest part was making cottage pie for my hubby...hopefully it will be worth it when I'm thin ? How's everyone else's...

I had vanilla for breakfast and hazelnut for lunch and just did them with cold water. Has anyone tried the porridge? Seeing as cals are the same for all products, was thinking maybe porridge for breakfast and soup for lunch and dinner it might not feel as much like a diet.

Well so far I've had 2 shakes and lots of water, couldn't believe how thick the shakes are! Trying the soup for tea tonight and got a choc bar as an evening snack.

Has anyone tried the soups or have you just all gone with the shakes? I got a mixture of everything on my first order to see what I like and how I get on.

Thanks for the tips Jo. I was thinking of just having the shake the weight products, although it said that was 4 products a day. Would that be too much then if your only having 3? My plan was shake for breakfast, soup for lunch (doesn't look as obvious at work!), shake for tea and a choc bar as...

Hi everyone, I'm new to VLCD and food replacement but am starting shake that weight tomorrow. Any tips/support would be welcome! Kate. X

Hi Emma, I'm starting the diet on Monday. Never done a VLCD before but sick of my clothes not fitting properly. How have you been getting on with it? Any tips? Thanks Kate. Xx

I'm interested to know everyone's losses too. I started on Monday.

I'm still here but doing Slim-Fast for a couple of weeks to get my head back into dieting. I'll be back with SW in a few weeks tho.

Yesterday I had grapes and pear as my snacks and still manage 40mins in the gym. Was ready for my tea by 8pm though. I mixed up the shakes this morning with 1 spoon or vanilla and 1 spoon of chocolate and it was sooo much better!

Hi Lucy, I'm new to SF too. First day today! I have a holiday booked for 5 weeks and my beat friends wedding in 8 weeks. I'm sure we can do it!!

Me either! Really need to get my head back in gear. Going to write my meal plan at the weekend for next week to put me back on track.

Hi ladies, is anyone still around???

Hi I'm interested in the VLCD part that you are doing. How many cals do you have each day, and how long should you do it for? I'm going on holiday in 6 weeks and all my clothes are tight so need something that works quickly.

Hi ladies, so I had a really good week which went down hill with some takeaways at the weekend. Weighed in today though at 14st 3.5lb which is 4lb loss...hopefully can be better at weekends at average 3lb a week. ?

Hi ladies, can I join you? I'd love to be 100% until 1st May. I'm bridesmaid for my friend at the end of June and I'd love to have lost at least 2 stone by then. I'm using MFP at 1200 cals and combining it with the 5:2. So 5 days at 1200 and 2 days at 500...hoping for some good loses...

I've had a good day today, around 1150 cals. Going to do a 500 day tomorrow, got all my food Planned out. Do you have a MFP profile that I can follow you?

Hi. Subscribing Your doing really well Hun, hope I can do the same!

Hi all, I'm the same...loved SW but lived on pasta which can't be good! I'm starting CC from today. What sort of foods do everyone eat, as I've put everything into MFP for today and struggling to get to 1200 cals. Another quick question. Do the cals change when food is cooked? So I'm having...

I just get a pork loin joint and put it straight in the slow cooker on its own (no water or anything) and put it on medium heat all day while I'm at work so it cooking for about 10 hours. It goes really tender and just falls to pieces, you struggle to get it out the cooking pot! It is very yummy...

Hi ladies, hopefully you can help keep me on track!

Hi, I have a diary called Kate's green/red days. Not sure how I send a link to you.

So after a weekend off plans and takeaways and meal out I still lost 3lb at weigh in this morning. Please with that. All the hard work during the week must have paid off!

Even though I had a REALLY bad weekend food wise, I weighed in this morning at 14.0 stone which is a 3lb loss!! Back on plan again today but I am out at an Italian on Wednesday night with my mum so that will be my treat night. Nothing planned this weekend so hoping to be good.

Day 7 B - Asda fat free blueberry yogurt L - was out so didn't get any D - fish/seafood stew, lemon maringue with cream SYNS= stew wouldn't have been many was was a stock base but not sure on desert!

I think all less than 1% fat mugshots as free on green or EE

Yeh it's quite thick and has actual blueberry in it, tastes quite creamy as well. I get the big pot and put some into little pots to take to work.

Got the answer thanks, it is still free ?

Yep that's the one, It yummy and filling, so much better than muller light. Thanks Christie your a star!

Welcome to the group Sazz. Does anyone have online access and willing to do me a favour? I'm doing it myself with my old books. Was wondering if Asda fat free blueberry yogurt in 450g pot is still syn free. Can someone look for me please? Thank you!

Quorn spag Bol with onion, mushrooms, chopped toms and herb, with cheese as HEA. Got leftovers for lunch tomorrow too...

Can someone check online for me please that the 450g pots of Asda fat free blueberry yogurt is sun free please. Thank you!

I'm using my syns as a weekly allowance rather than daily this week as I'm at the inlaws for a meal on Sat which is fish stew so have no idea how many syns will be in it. I started on Mon and only have 6 syns so far this week... Hopefully it will work and ill get a good loss. Ill let you know!

Last night was pepper, tomato and cheese omelette with spaghetti hoops. Needed something quick after the gym and it was lush!

My hubby doesn't really like them either, but inusually stick a pizza in the oven for him when I do them. Do you have a microwave at work? Could always make it the night before and take it to work and heat it up.

There batchelors pasta n sauce, there's lots of different varieties. Most are between 0 and 2 syns, they are very filling and great for lunch. Add water/milk and microwave for 10 mins. I have a food flask so cook it in a morning and bring it work for a warm pasta lunch. My fruit/snacks are...

Day 3 GREEN B- 2 weetabix HEB with semi skimmed milk 1/2 HEA L- tomato & Mediterranean veg high veg pasta n sauce made with water & milk 1/2 HEA D- omelette (pepper, tomato, cheese HEA) with spaghetti hoops cooked in 1 tbsp veg oil (6) was really nice actually! Snack- grapes Exercise- 1...

Well done, that's amazing!! Is it your first weigh in?

I'm the same as you, would love to lose 3 stone ? I work in an office also. I tend to make my food for the day and bring I all to work then I can only eat what I have at my desk. Mugshots less than 1% ft are free, pasta with any sort of filling (tuna, cuc, veg, salad etc), ryvita and laughing...

B - grapes L - tomato & herb mug shot D- stuffed jackets (potato, egg, onion, mushroom, cheese HEA) with baked beans Snack - 24 cashew nuts ( 2 HEB) Does this look right??

Hi ladies, I'm back... I've put 1.5 stone on since my wedding and am now back to where I was this time last year. I have enjoyed every mouthful tho!!! I'm bridesmaid for my best friend at the end of June so my goal is 1.5 stone loss, hopefully a bit more. In doing it alone this time as have...

Thank you. Are 20 nuts still HEB on green or not now?

Does anyone know how many syns in 40g of roasted/salted cashew nuts before I eat them! Thanks

Hi Sarah, I first did SW years ago before they introduced EE and I did really well, so it seems wrong to me to have carbs and meat together. I tried it for a bit but couldn't get my head around it Everyone's different though, I love my carbs so green days are great for me. Good luck!!

I've brought my lunch and snacks to work and no money so that's all I can have to eat, and I've worked out what I'm having for me tea and written it in my food diary, like a meal planner and then I will stick to it. No syns today and 1 hours exercise ?

So here goes with day 1 GREEN B - Plum and grapes L - 3 Asda GFY crispbread (HEB) 3 laughing cow EL triangles (HEA) D - pasta Mushrooms Tinned tomatoes with herbs/garlic BM - 1 hour Boxercise class Syns - 0

I was doing SW last year to lose weight for my wedding, but since then I've gone off the rails and have put on everything I lost, so back to the same weight I was this time last year!!! Hoping you can follow my diary and help me along the way as I'm going it alone this time.

Hi all, hope you've had a lovely christmas and new year! I'm back...been eating and drinking what I want since the wedding and I'm back to the weight I was this time last year ? I'm bridesmaid for my best friend in June so need to get back on it. Starting a 6 week body transformation thing t...

Can anyone help me with mug shots. Are all the less than 1% flavour free on Green days? Thanks Kate. X

Me too...scales are going back up ? I've really struggled to get back into it since the wedding/honeymoon. In at the in laws for dinner tonight, so I'm going to face the scales tomorrow morning and start a fresh. I've got a lot of nights out coming up over Xmas and don't want to feel fat...

Thank you. I think my main thing is upping my water intake.

Aww she's gorgeous Clare!

Hi all, Can anyone tell me if 35g of Alpen is a HEB? Can I have a bowl for breakfast and one for lunch and free food for tea and still lose weight? Thanks

Back to SW on Monday after nearly 2 months off, what with the wedding and then 4 weeks in Oz I've gone completely off track! Had a massive hair change today and have fine dark to start the new me!! ?

I found someone online who also has a Facebook page and makes bispoke cake toppers. She was great!! It was reasonably expensive but looked amazing and is now sat on my mantle piece as is made from clay so will last a life time.

Well I'm sat in my hotel room at Heathrow all ready for honeymoon tomorrow. ? See you all in 4 weeks when I back and about 4 stone heavier!! P.s attached a few photos I've got back from the photographer!

Awww Claire she's gorgeous!!

We go 27th Sept....we delayed it slightly so were out there for my hubby's 30th. When do you go away? Is it Egypt your going to? Still can't get used to being a Mrs! :-)

A few pics people have put on Facebook. Can't wait to get my professional ones, hopefully before we jet off on honeymoon.

You look lovely, so happy!! You've done well to get your photos back already :-)

We had the most amazing day on Sat...chilling in a beautiful 5* boutique hotel in the lakes at the mo with my new hubby ? Here's a quick sneaky peak photo...

Sammy you look amazing!! Congratulations, have a fab honeymoon. Can't believe mine is only a few days away!!

Soo exciting Sammy! Hope everything goes great and you have a perfect day. I get married a week tomorrow, still hasn't sunk in yet, not sure when it will!!! Diet has been really poor this last week and been doing wedding stuff most nights so just grabbing what I can. Been having PT sessions...

Congrats Emma...all the hard work was worth it, you look amazing!!

Awww that is sooo cute! My page boy is 4 but I've got an 18month old flower girl. Why do kids dressed up look so adorable?

Thanks chuck, is that free then depending on what filling you use?

How do you do your quiche? I've got stuck in a rut of having salad or ryvita for lunch so looking for other good ideas.

I'm dreading weigh in tomorrow. Had my home Hen do on Sat night so eaten and drank far too much all weekend!! Got my final dress fitting a week tomorrow and bringing it home with me, so I've come to the conclusion I am what I am! Just going to work on flattening my stomach and toning arms over...

Hi all, I've stuck to my syns this week and done 6hours in the gym or with PT but I've stayed the same!!! Had anyone found that when they increase exercise the weight loss slows down? Thought it was supposed to be the other way!

STS this week.... Very annoying as I've stuck with in my syns and done 6 hours at the gym.

Welcome to all newbies!! 3 weeks before my final dress fitting so been to the gym Mon/Tues night an had PT session this morning, my whole body hurts....if this doesn't make me smaller I think I might cry! Hope everyone has a good week.

How many syns did you use on average? I only use maybe 3 max but some days I don't use any.

Lost 1lb at weigh in this morning. My weight loss seems to really have slowed down and I'm struggling now. I do about 5 hours of exercise a week and never go over my syns, usually less. Any ideas on how I can get bigger losses??

Hi all, I've got this cold/flu bug which has been going round and to top it off got tonsilitis too. Not really feeling like eating much as my throat hurts, anyone got and good slimming ideas on what I can eat which is good for my throat and waist line. If I live on ice cream ill end up the...

You dress will be getting too big if you carry on with losses like that!! Lol. Have you been trying hard to lose or has it just fallen off with stress?

Lost 1lb this week but had a real bad weekend. Doing 6 gym sessions this week and sticking to an average of 8 syns a day and see how much I can lose this week.

Weighed in at 12.11 this morning, 1lb down this week. Had a really bad weekend with Mc Donald's, cake and take away. Nothing planned this weekend so doing 6 gym classes this week and sticking to an average of 8 syns a day and see how much I can lose next week ?

12.11 this morning. Really need to step it up to get into the 11s before my final wedding dress fitting in 4 weeks.

Anyone know the syns for Asda 50% less fat garlic baguette? Been so good all day with just free food and did the hardest hour at Boxercise, I was dripping like I'd just got out the shower and was shaking!! How did I cave so easily.

Congrats Sammy that's a great time, especially for someone whose pregnant too! ?

Bet you can't wait! Good luck with the dress fitting, let us know how you get on. X

Thanks Star. Going for a walk at lunch time to get and sun and exercise and doing a circuit class tonight (do you burn more cals when its hotter with how you sweat!). Feel really guilty for eating rubbish, don't know where my will power has gone!

I was having a real good day yesterday, had a PT session before work, at free and super free foods all day. Ended up with a real bad headache and feeling rubbish when I got home so didn't make any tea. When the OH got in about 9:30 I sucomed to a trip to McDonalds!!! ?

I try to have one every morning but guessing that's not enough? Don't really like it but force myself to drink it!

Wow there's been some great losses from people this week! Well done... Any tips you want to share :-)

Lost 1.5lb this week and had a weekend off. Going to plan all my meals and really stick to it this week (even driving on a night out on Sat!) Going to the gym or PT session every week day so hoping for a good loss.

Weighed in at 12.12 this morning. Going to be really good this week so hoping for a good loss next week....even driving at the weekend!!

1.5lb off for me. Had a weekend off plan so pleased with that. Back on it this week with gym every day! Hoping for a good loss this week.

There used to be a slimming world 5:2 group but I can't seem to find it now. I'm doing 2 days at 500cals and the rest SW.

I'm from east hull villages. X

Think you can have slimline tonic as well which is free. I notice your from Hull, I'm from the area too!! ?

I'd be happy with a stone too, or just less flabby arms bad a flatter stomach, oh and just the 1 chin! Ha ha My PT is bringing her tape measure on Monday to do y measurements to see how I lose/tone doing exercise. I don't really mind what I weigh, just what size I am and how I look.

How can you just have 1?? I'd never let myself as it would lead to more once I got the taste! Ha ha. Well done you for just having the 1 tho!

It was just a couples shoot and a chance to get to know the photographer and her to get to know us and the style we like so she gets it right on the day. We just went for a walk in the countryside with the dog and had some piccies. Wedding is 7th Sept!

Has anyone tried the weetabix oaty bars? They are really nice for that sweet bit. 1 bar is a HEB, I never usually have 2 Alpen bars so have swapped to the weetabix as they are yummy.

My photographer is from London and I'm in hull so it was a chance for us to meet each other and for her to see the venue. ?

I think so, we moved house last weekend so its been all go. My wedding dress is coming into the shop today so get to try that on Saturday! Thinking if I can't get my head into diet 100% ten I need to step up the exercise.

Me too and I get married in 8 weeks!! Don't know what's wrong with me.

2lb a week is great. Defo going to start doing it again next week but will follow SW plan on my up days.

I've just got back on slimming world and as I'm doing gym classes and PT sessions 5 times a week I've been struggling to get 2 low cal days in. Going to try start again next week and mix it with SW. Are people still having good results with it?

Had my make up trial and engagement shoot today. Really looking forward to the wedding now, its got me excited!! Can't wait to see the photos, an insight as to how much weight I still want to lose and which body parts need more work at the gym! Ha ha.

Well I went to boxing circuits last night where I was dripping with the heat! Then had a killer PT session this morning before work. Not sure ill be able to walk by lunch time! Ha ha.

Hi Does anyone know the syns in the new boots shapers bacon lettuce tomato salad? It says its on 212cals!!

You can have 3 as a HEB according to SW online.

Well I've had the worse weekend ever and prob put on about 1/2stone!! Went to the races on Fri night, eating and drinking and moved house at the weekend so we've eaten rubbish! Today is a new start, SW friendly food and lots of exercise. I've even book a personal trainer 0630-0730 tomorrow...

Does anyone know the syns for Boots Shapers bacon, lettuce, tomato salad? It's only 212 cals but was wondering how many asyns it would be.

I'm at the races tonight and out for drinks for a friends hen do. I've been really good and saved all my syns. Think the most I've had in 1 day so far is 2. Does it work if you save them during the week and then use more than the daily 15 on a weekend?

Congratulations Sammy, that's great news! Xx

Just us (thin!!) brides really! ?

Quorn slag Bol for tea. Yum yum!!

WOW well done you!! What's the secerate?

WOW that's amazing Sammy. You'll have to put some wedding photos up ? I haven't even tried my dress on yet, so will maybe need a few fittings but its from a boutique in Leicester which is 2.5hour drive from me so trying to lose as much as I can as quickly as poss. Would love to be a size 12...

I lost 2lb this week with a weekend off as well!! ? Booked 2 PT sessions for mornings next week, along with 3 Boxercise and a run hoping for a good loss next week too. Got my first wedding dress fitting on 13th July and would love to have lost 1/2 stone by then. Think I will have to have...

Hi all, first week back on it. Had a bad week with meal cooked by a friend on Friday and BBQ but still managed to lose 2lb. Hoping i can manage that for the next 10 weeks. Booked some PT sessions 2 mornings a week, and doing 3 Boxercise classes and hoping to fit a run in. If I don't lose...

Well just got in from a girly night at my friends. I was driving to cut down on syns. Had asparagus wrapped in Parmaham, bees burgunoiun with lots of veg and 1 new potato and some chocolate cheesecake. How many syns do you think?? Off to Boxercise class at 9am to try and work some of it off!! ?

Thank you!

Can't believe how many brides to be we have. It's nice to have someone else in the same boat to share it with. How are your plans going? We've been having a house built and finally move in next weekend, I'm the same. Looking forward to getting married but can't wait until its all over and we...

I want at least another stone off before me wedding which is beginning of September. 10 weeks...?

September 7th!! ?

When's your wedding? Where you planning on going for honeymoon? I can't believe how fast the time has gone, it still feels like the wedding is ages away so in my head I keep thinking I've got loads of time to diet.

My weddings Sept too. My dress was made to measure for what I was in March so I know it will fit, which I don't think is helping!! ? I just don't understand why I can't lose weight for the most important day of my life. Really need the support of people on here to get me through. I've got a...

Hi ladies, I fell off the wagon but not I'm back to stay. Got my head sorted and going to stick to plan for the next 10 weeks until my wedding. I have the biggest reason to lose weight ever but for some reason have really been struggling to get my head into it!

Right so I fell off the wagon!!!! Started a fresh on weighing in on Tuesday morning at 13 stone 1.5lb ? Realised its 10 weeks on Sat until my wedding so I need to stick to plan and hopefully get at least a stone off... Has anyone used the Raspberry Ketone or Green Coffee exteact to help with...

Well done Emma! I've suddenly reaslised its 10 weeks on Sat until my wedding, so im doing the same. Back on SW and sticking to it until the wedding and running/Boxercise/circuits 4/5 times a week....if that doesn't work god knows what will! ?

Hi all, I've just swapped from SW (i'd got to a plateau) and moved over to JUDDD as I've heard some good things about it. Hoping to lost an average of 2lb a week up until my wedding in September. (Want to be 11.7 at the most!) I've been on the website and it says I should be eating 443 on a...

Hi I'm new too. If I exercise on a DD do I go into negative cals or do I need to eat the cals I burn to have enough to get a loss?

Hi, I've just started JUDDD to try and get rid of that last stone (hopefully bit more) and was wondering if anyone else was following the same plan? Kate x

I know exactly how you feel... I've only just come back after about 3 weeks off. I've put weight on and am gutted, just don't know why I can't do it. I weighed in on Sat and was back up to 12.13, but that didn't stop me eating and drinking over the bank holiday!!! I've had a word with myself...

Hi, i was just wondering what your stats are if you don't mind me asking. Your losses are amazing!!! I'm going in holiday in 10 days and get married in 14 weeks. I'd love to have lost 1.5 stone in time for the wedding and am looking for a quick loss diet that works. Thanks Kate. X

Get married 7th Sept. Not long now tho!!

Hi, can I join you all for support please? I'm getting married in Sept and desperate to be a skinny bride! I'm 26 (27 next week!) and have lost just over a stone since Jan (too slow for my liking). Going to get back in to minimins for support, and I've started my food diary on here today as...

Hi all, I've been following several posts on here for a few months, but I really need a kick up the bum. I've done slimming world before and lost weight easily and quite quickly however that was on the original and green plans. I'm resorting back to what I know, and hoping you can keep me on...

I had 600cals yesterday, but with my gym workout my net was 34!! Fasting today and manage to only have a pot of jelly so far today. Looking forward to my tea tonight tho! Was completely off plan last week and put 3lb on so trying to be really good this week.

You've got loads of time Emma. 2 inches is about a dress size? So should be about a stone I think. Have you tried 30 day shred? It's quite hard but really makes a massive difference to inch loss and tones you up.

I do pulled pork in the slow cooker, just put a loin joint straight in, no liquid, and leave it on Medium for around 10 hours. By the time I get home from work it just falls to pieces, very tender, no fat and yummy!

Hi Ladies, Not been on for a while so thought i'd better update with my progress. Lost another 1.5lb this week, so it's slowly coming off...half way there now. Had my dress fitting and the top of her size 8 sample fitted perfect, so I was really happy with that, and I've lost a few inches too...

1.5lb off for me...only just had chance to get on here.

Had 2 slices of toast with 2 poached eggs. Burnt off 570 cals at the gym so I've burnt off more than I've eaten today. Felt fine through my workout as well, not lightheaded or anything and now I feel stuffed!

50g bar is about 13 syns. Not sure how big that is tho.

I wasn't planning on having a fast day today as got a PT session booked at the gym tonight. Been so busy at work today I've not had chance to eat so not had anything all day. Think ill have an Alpen light bar before I go to the gym and something nice for tea.

Lost 1.5lb this week taking me down to 12st11.5lb. Going to try for 2.5lb this week so I can get my 10%. Fingers crossed!!

1.5lb down this week. Pleased with that as had a really bad Easter. Going to try for 2.5lb this week so I can get my 10%

Day 1 - 50 squats - DONE Day 2 - 55 squats - DONE Day 3 - 60 squats - DONE

It's better now it had the barcode scanner. That Saves me a lot of time.

I've been using MFP to track everything as well. I tend to have 2 fast days at 500 and 3 'feast' days at 1200 and then can be a bit more leneant over the weekend. Usual fit in a takeaway and wine somewhere along the way and its working for me!

Day 1 - 50 squats - DONE Day 2 - 55 squats - DONE

I've had the weekend off too as eaten for England! Thought it would be hard fasting today but I didn't even think about food today until 2pm when I had a cup a soup and then some jelly later on for something sweet. Looking forward to my hot chocolate later and still have 110cals left.

Do it on a day your busy Claire and you don't think of food. I plan all mine in advance so I only have good I'm allowed with me at work so I can't go over. You'll get there in the end. 2.5lb is a great loss!!

I've had a 5:2 fast day today (as eaten rubbish all weekend!), I know your not supposed to fast 2 days in a row bit I'm going to bingo with some friends tomorrow night so won't get chance for tea. I've made a big salad for lunch and fruit as a snack but that only comes to 300 cals. Am I best to...

Hi all, Started this yesterday as I need to tone the wobbly bit on the inside of my thighs! Hope its worth it :-) Day 1 - 50 squats - DONE Day 2 - 55 squats Day 3 - 60 squats Day 4 - Rest Day Day 5 - 70 squats Day 6 - 75 squats Day 7 - 80 squats Day 8 - Rest Day Day 9 - 100 squats Day 10 -...

Fast day today after a weekend off, only had a cuppa so far and no hunger pangs yet. Got a cup a soup - 53 cals and jelly at 9 cals with me at work today. Having a WW meal tonight and a hot chocolate as a treat ?

After the weekend off I'm back on the calorie counting and 1st fast day this week.

I'm sure you'll be easily in the 11s by Sat Tonianne.

I've swapped my weigh days from a Monday to Saturday so thought is say hi!

Hi all, Just moved across from the 13 group. Weighed in this morning at 12.13 after a really bad week with 1lb loss.

Rach that's great. Well done you! Have you been counting calories on you feast days?

Have you got a full weekend or just a night out?

I planned my sisters hen do last year for her wedding. She didn't know anything about it and loved it all, made it stressful for me though worrying if she'd like it or not. I don't really want a fuss and I love my sun holidays so thought it was perfect for me :-)

Hi Emma. I lost 3lb this week on 5;2 and had a naughty weekend so pleased with that.

Are you just healthy eating then? Must be doing something right if you dropped all those dress sizes in a year!

Reasonably, church wedding with marquee reception in grounds of a statley home. Got 110 for the day and total of 300 in the evening. Booked 5 days in Puerto Banus all inclusive with my mum, mother in law, sister and bridesmaid. Looking forward to some sun and chill out time. Need to do...

Are you having a big wedding? I get married 7th, can't believe how fast its coming round. Id like to be at goal for my hen do which is beginning of June so I'm then sorted for my dress fitting in July. I've just swapped from SW to the 5:2 diet and calorie counting. Hoping for another good...

WOW 22 to a 12 is amazing. Well done you! Just order of service-decide on songs and readings, gift for parents (which I'm struggling with as want something personal they can keep) and order bridesmaid dresses, picked the ones we like just need to get them measured and ordered. Everything else...

I picked mine last year but wouldn't let them start making until I'd lost some weight. I went back at the weekend to get measured and there's making it to suit me as for some reason the top fitted perfect on her size 8 sample (never been a size 8 in my life!) but the waist measured at a 14...

Hi Melanie, What diet are you following? My weight loss seems to be slower this time round, think its because I'm desperate for big losses!! Lol.

That's good then, at least you know it will fit! Aren't you tempted to try it on all the time? If I had mine I'd just be sat looking at it! :-)

That's good then, at least you know it will fit! :-)

I had fast day today. Had tea last night at 8pm Cup a soup at 1pm today Meal tonight at 7pm I try not to eat for over 12 hours but I usually have something at lunch time.

Hi all, Just as an update I STS the first week as went a bit mad over the weekend but lost 3lb this week. Hoping for another good loss on Sat.

Hi Emma, just been reading through your thread. You've been doing great, keep at it! I get married 7th Sept and thought losing weight this time would be easy as I want to be a thin bride but I've really struggled. I started 7/1/13 and was 14st 0.5lb. Weighed in on Sat at 13st. Next mini goal...

I had scrambled egg and mushrooms on toast for tea and I feel stuffed now!!

At least it takes you mind off eating and you can enjoy a nice meal later.

I'm fasting today, just had a 53cal cup a soup which means I can a nice meal tonight bead going to have WW ocean pie at 200cals but managed to go without at lunch. Anyone any good ideas for 440cals?

Bit of a random question but will squats help tone the inside of my legs? Too and outside of my thighs are fine, its the inside bit which is flabby and annoying. Anyone any tips??

I've been doing it 2 weeks. STS the first week as I went off the rails over the weekend (think any other diet would have resulted in a gain tho) and I lost 3.5lb this week.

Is that your fast day Sarah? I find it easier if I plan out the day using MFP too, surprising what you can actually have for 500cals Gets me through the day if I can have something nice for tea. I'm missing breakfast tomorrow 2 ryvita with laughing cow cheese and a cuppa soup Weight...

Lost 3.5lb this week which means I've lost 6.5lb in march. I can deal with being 1/2lb under target. Good luck to everyone else whose still to weigh in.

I've been doing 5:2 for 2 weeks now, swapped for a time from SW. First week I had a massive blow out at the weekend with wine and takeaways and only put on 1/2lb. This week I've been using MFP and sticking to 1200 on up days during the week and being sensible on a weekend (still had Chinese...

Loved trying my dress on again and I've lost just over an inch from my waist and the same from my hips, so happy with that. Just need to keep going! Lost 3.5lb on 5:2 this week, finding it really good and getting good results from it!

3lb a week is a lot to lose, you'll find good losses at the start but if your anything like me they started to slow down after a few weeks to round 1lb!! When's your wedding? Have you ordered your dress yet?

Hope you've all had a good weekend. I've got PT sessions Mon and Thurs this week as my fasting days will be Tues/Fri. Here's to another good week if 5:2 and MFP. Hoping for another good loss like this week.

Hi all. 3.5lb off for me this week. Had Chinese, wine, McDonald's and fry-up this week too!!

I started 5:2 properly on Monday as my posse had slowed down. Changed my weigh day so got weighed this morning (Sats will be better for me) and I'm down 3lb on 5/6 days. Think its worth a try if people want a kick start. It's given me that boost I needed to get my head back into it! Hope you...

Morning!! I usually weigh on a Monday morning but I've decided to swap to a Sat morning and I will be feasting Sat/Sun. Weighed in the morning and from Monday I've lost 3lb!!!!! Think I'm going to like this diet if I can keep losses like that!

Looks like a healthy few weeks for me as it would seem I have an issue with my oven. Make a noise like a numatic dress, think the fan has gone or something. Means slow cooker food and omelettes for me until I get it fixed! Hopefully it will help the diet! Ha ha

I go to a boxing gym so its some resistance but mainly really high impact cardio, its a killer and I was shaking afterwards but its good!

Does anyone know if I can eat more than 500cals on a fast day if I burn it off through exercise so my net intake is still 500 or less? Had a feast day yesterday at 1200cals and with my gym session my net I take was only 515. Should I be eating my exercise cals?

I had a feast day yesterday and stuck to 1200cals but with my PT session at the gym my net was only 515! Wondering if I should be eating my exercise cals or not.

Does anyone know if I can eat more than 500cals on a fast day if I burn it off through exercise so my net intake is still 500 or less?

That sounds lovely. It's surprising how much you can have for 500cals!

I'm loving this calorie counting. On a feast day today an I have white toast and jam. Can't remember the last time I had nice soft white bread!! ?

How do you work out your tdee? I've been trying to stock to 1200 on feast days, am I eating enough for it to work?

I have the skinny cow hot chocolate which is 37 cals so might have some of that.

I have some Jelly crystals in the cupboard Joanne, might have to make some up tonight.

First fast day of this week. I've not hungry or thought about food at all this morning. Feel great so might see how long I can go before eating. Any ideas what I can use my remaining 57cals on?

Happy birthday Hun!

Well I've eaten kebabs, pizza and chips, wine, sausage sandwich and McDonald's this weekend. Did 2 fast days and stuck to 1200cals for the other week days, not been to the gym either and I've STS. Maybe this diet does work, as if I'd have been flowing SW still I'm sure I'd have had a big gain.

Had a busy day today and had the family still round at tea time, they all decided to get pizza. I decided to be strong and not join then so did poached egg on toast for myself, and I really enjoyed it. Might have to be a quick easy tea more often!

Mines full lace panel on the back so its needs to for right or else the lace will pull. I want to lose another 1.5 stone so think ill order dress in size I am now and just get it altered. Don't want to be stressing that its not going to fit! Lol.

I got a week today to get remeasured and decided which size to order!! Fingers crossed I'm a lot smaller than I was in Sept when I first went!

Just been out for a meal with my fiancé. We've been together 10 years today so went out to celebrate. Eaten all the wrong food and drank wine. God knows how many calories/syns I've had today! Gym at 9 in morning to try and work some of it off.

I've been making a plain salad which come out around 70cals or having a slim a soup at around 50cals and a bigger main meal.

Well done Toni that's great, hope I can see something similar on Monday all though not sure with me being out all weekend.

Cheaper shops tend to be smaller sizes. I wouldnt worry about it, people don't see the label and know what size your wearing, they just see how fab your looking!

I'm thinking the same Toni, waiting for Monday WI to see if I'm eating enough cals. I'm having 1200 on feast days during the week as in going out at weekend.

It's my first week on the diet. WI on Monday and I've been having a light lunch (cup a soup or small plain salad) which has been around 70cals and having a bigger meal in the evening. Ill let you know of Monday if its worked or not. How have you been getting on?

MrsT-how many cals do you have on your feast days to have lost that much weight so quickly?

I've just changed my settings. Your diary for today looks yummy! :-)

I've just changed my settings. Your diary for today looks yummy!! Hopefully we can eat nice things and still lose weight! :-)

Added you both as friends, hope you don't mind. Can we now see each others diaries?

How do you add people Laura?

I'm trying to stick to 1200 during the week so I can have about 2000 on a weekend and be a bit more relaxed and hopefully still lose weight. Got a real nice salad with tuna and egg for lunch tomorrow, looking forward to lunch. How sad is that! Lol.

Great if it works! I'm using MFP the other days and trying to stick to 1200 (which seems like a lot) so hoping I'm eating enough cals.

This is my fast day today. Can't believe I got to have chippy ( batter removed from fish) when fasting!!

How many cals do you think you would burn for 1 session?

Is anyone doing 30DS with calorie counting? How many cals do you think you burn with 1 work out?

Not sure I could sit in the canteen at lunch time and not eat anything! Ha ha Ill keep going as I am today and see how I get on at WI on Monday. Thanks for the info tho, as I don't have the book. I had my tea at 6:30 last night and didn't eat until 12 today so that's 18 hours without...
