Another 2lb off this week - only another pound to go before I've dropped my first stone. Better think of some new goals! x

Busy week, so wont be on pc as much as I'd like. Hubby taking a week off work so we can (eventually) get stuck into all the decorating and rennovation that needs done in the house. Weigh in this morning 2lb away - thats just one more pound to go for my first stone, I can't believe it! Apologies...

Annie, thats excellent news, so go ahead from the doc and Marissa, all sounds good to me. x

Thanks for that - will have a wee look and sky plus any interesting ones

Genius - I have to wait on my hubby making me proper poached eggs cos everytime I make them all I get left with is a hard yellow ball in a mess of cloudy water

Oh and by the way - once you start you WILL bore everyone with stories of how far you went, how long it took, what route you went...........................:D Another tip - Look out for specials in Lidl and Aldi(good idea to sign up to newsletter), sometimes have great deals on running kit, good...

Hiya, Good luck with your running. I started running about 3 years ago, couldnt get to the next lampost without wheezing, but within 8 weeks had done a 5k without stopping then another month went by and I managed a 10k. I unfortunately stopped through a bad ankle injury which needed...

Havent managed any actual walking this week, which is dissapointing, but have been painting yesterday and today, so lots of bending and stretching - perhaps a wee bitty too much stretching yesterday, paying for it today:argh: with sore back! Still its all good, plus another step nearer to...

Hi Nevarine, Welcome, we all love to here peoples stories! x

Hi romi, no I dont attend any classes, have been reading the Marissa Peer book and using her cd for about 3 or 4 weeks, seems to be working for me. Best of luck x

Hi Slimslow, As everyone else says, you DEFINATELY need to eat more - not only to give your metabolism a good kick into working again, but at that tiny amount of calories, theres nothing for the Xenical to work on. Are you seeing a nurse whilst on this? Maybe they could give you a few pointers...

Hi Tiff, welcome to Minimins, you have done really well so far, so you obviously know what works best for you. As Spod says maybe you could get an exercise dvd or two, or even just up your walking a wee bit. Best of luck x

Hi Hayley, What a great start, keep up the good work, theres loads of encouragement and advice on here!

Hi Romi, Bets of luck with whatever you choose, theres loads of help, advice and encouragement from everyone on here, whatever you decide to do Take care x

Rela, hope evrything settles down for you soon sweetheart - stay strong x

Jarael what a fantastic start - well done Keep it u[p, it will all be worth it!

Clarri, I put off buying the book as i thought there would be no way I could manage without milk, cheese, biscuits, chocolate and bread products. I had convinced myself that I would be wasting my money on yet another scheme that would end up nowhere. That was several weeks ago, and I have had...

Hurray for me, into the 14 somethings:D Only another pound away, but everything going in the right direction which is VERY pleasing, and encouraging me to remain focused. This is it now, this is me for life. I reread Marissas book last night as my mum in law had annoyed me a bit about a...

Yay, Another week, another pound away, and now into the 14 somethings, despite a hectic celebration weekend!!:party0036:

That all sounds like good news from the doc then:D

Good luck with your plan - I have never heard of it myself, but there may be others on here who are doing it All the best!

Hi Gemma, Nice to know your still about. All the best on the job front x

Well the weekend was lovely and the night in the hotel was great. Really enjoyed the meal and felt great eating without feeling guilty. Much champagne, wine and cocktails were consumed over the course of the day and the food was fantastic. Beautiful scallops for starters and a melt in the mouth...

Welcome chunky Monkey Good luck!

:hide: Welcome to minimins, nose away!

I lose mine from my face downwards,picture if you will a tiny pea head on a balloon body, thats me until the rest of my body catches up:crazy:

Hi Jack, Welcome, hope everything goes well for you, are you following a particular plan? There are loads of specific forums on here depending on what you are doing Best of luck

Welcome, how has your furst day been?

Hi Andy, welcome You definately should be eating more, and you shouldnt be hungry either, that'll just lead to quick nibbles;) So tuck in!:eat: Good luck with everything

Its my 16th wedding anniversary tomorrow so I went out to get hubbies card and pressie and ended up getting some sexy new underwear for me, I have nothing matching in my knicker drawer unless you count grey and saggy as matching! If I say so myself, I don't look half bad:pRoom for improvement...

Well done Annie - thats a great amount!

Yes Gemma, I do notice a difference in my face and neck, seems to start at the top of my head and work its way down;) Looking forward to losing a bit off my chest and only having 2 boobs again instead of the 4 i have just now:eek: x

Good luck! x

You must be a week in now - hows it all going?

Good luck with that - why pay for something when you can enjoy yourself and get results for free. Plus your out in the lovely fresh air (sometimes a bit too fresh!) I've just come back from an hour long walk after school drop off and am absolutely soaked:D

Hope you feel better soon. Joining a gym with your partner sounds ideal - what a great way to support each other

Hi Tasha, welcome to minimins - I havent tried any vlcd personally, but there are some great transformations on here for inspiration. Good luck with it all x

My piggy is feeling quite helathy! 2 x £10's for 2 months and another £10 for shedding the pounds. This is a good way to save for my Christmas nights out and get some slinky new outfits:D Hope everyone elses porkers are filling up! x

Weigh in morning Dropped another 2lbs, so thats 10lb so far Its good to see that BMI coming down too

Thanks everyone. Weigh in today, another 2lb off so all going well!:D 10lb altogether so far, so will have to get some more goals set out Off to feed the piggy bank!

Hi there, I read Marissas book a couple of weeks ago and listen to her cd - its true - something just clicks inside you. Its so great doing the shopping and walking past all the aisles full of fat and sugar. It all seems to make sense now and instead of worrying about food all the time, I...

Yet another hectic weekend - we had friends staying over which usually means loads of takeaways and alcohol, big fry ups and unhealthy snacks to go with the aforementioned alcohol! Well, i just dont know whats gotten into me, had very good choices for dinner, no snacks, no fry ups, no hangover...

Gemma, sorry to hear about your wee brother, but glad he had a great birthday with you all. All the best on the job front too x

Hope things are still going okay for you x

And you Silence!!

Cateka, You are no way a bad influence on anyone - don't beat yourself up further more than you are already are doing. I think I speak for most on here that read your posts to say that we were genuinely worried for you. You have people that care for you and want you to be well and safe, they...

Please dont worry so much - Vicx is right - its changes in your cells, your smear has flagged up a potential problem which needs treated, severe changes still dont neccesarily mean cancer, catching any abnormal cells early is the best thing to stop anything progressing. Try not to be embarrased...

Gemma, Hope today was better for you. As for your laptop crashing - at least you got out of you what you wanted to say before it did that, that will be a good thing in itself, sometimes you dont need to show other people, just get it out so you can see it (even if it was only for a moment!) x

Hi Rela, Best of luck with the future - you sound ready for this x

Okay - I think you know that a jaffa cake and a couple of fags is not a balanced breakfast;) But well done for writing things down

Carrots and peas are your friend Rich:D Resisting the temptation so far?

Dont give up - you ARE doing the right things - you are exercising, things will happen Keep it going girl!

Sorry to hear your not feeling up to par - but you sound like your plan is going well Take care

Thanks Emma, I feel things are really clicking into place here x

I agree wheels, I get my sausages from our butcher who makes his own - more expensive but you know its not all the rubbish of the day thats in them, and you don't need as many as they are pure meat! All that connective tissue and rind being ground up was pretty gross, but I thought the marketing...

:DThe Piggy Cult That made me laugh!

The cinema had a 'Healthy Options' stand which consisted of 3 tiny bags of nuts that were about £2.50, the rest was empty! I am glad that i took mine in I suppose it was cheaper than the jumbo hotdog and huge fizzy drink combo special deal at over £8.00:eek: Hang on in there Gemma! x

They had these at a tasting table in our local Tesco a few weeks ago and they seemed quite tasty, nice and crunchy - although they were a wee bit too salty for my liking.

Fingers crossed for your weigh in x

What a brilliant idea! Payday tomorrow so I shall get myself a shiny piggy, or maybe one of those tins from the pound shop that you cant get into until you use a can opener, that might stop me dipping in for lunch money for the kids, and feed him £18! My ten pounds and £8 for the weight shifted...

Well done - you have made a great start, keep it up:)

Please don't stop - we all have crap times and I think by putting these times down along with the good really can help - you have been a great support for loads of people on here, thats why we all like it on here. No one judges you for any failings you think you may have, I doubt theres anyone...

Yay ! Another 1lb off this morning, pleased as it was TOTM last week - knee has healed up and foot is feeling much better. Kids are back at school so this morning went out walking for an hour with a friend - have agreed to do the same on Thursday with her. Got a really good pace going and a bit...

Okay, weigh in this morning another 1lb off - 8lb in total. Carried 8lbs of poatoes about the supermarket this morning - its flipping heavy!

Thanks everyone - weigh in yesterday and another pound off Very pleased as thats a half stone in 3 weeks, feeling fuller and not as sluggish as usual (have reduced bread/sugar intake considerably) and snacking on fruit and seeds which I don't know why I havent noticed before, but they take a...

Yippee - another 1lb off - thats half a stone:) Had a busy weekend(again!) out with the girls on Friday night, and managed to fall BEFORE I got into the pub - result - took top layer of skin off my right knee and a chunk out of my big toe(maybe a pounds worth!:p), I have a bruise from my knee...

Well done, thats the first hurdle over

Yvonne hunny, I really feel for you - I bet most of us on here have EXACTLY these type of feelings at some point Try and forget about the slip up, don't beat yourself up about it, it happens, you are recognising that you want to change your behaviour, you just might need a little more help...

Been a little bit 'bleurgh' the past couple of days - terrible migraine yesterday, the remnants of which are hanging about this morning, so only managed a couple of bowls of soup yesterday as was a bit sick feeling. Whats really annoying me is that I want to get out for a walk today to really...

Hi Gemma, just found your diary. Sorry to hear of your troubles of late, but you seemed to have picked yourself up again. Hope you have great time camping - I only did it once in the Lake District when I was at college, arrived in the pitch dark in a blizzard with only the headlights of the car...

Hi there, What a great acheivement, its hard when you are so close and then hit the funding stumbling block - don't let that get you down too much. You have worked hard for this, stay positive

Welcome and good luck with your weightloss:) The support here is fantastic

Well done, what a great acheivement - the wii fit is next on my list of purchases! Its good to know your having success on it! Keep up the good work:D

Welcome and best of luck Teddy! Everyone is sooo supportive on here - its fantastic:)

Good Luck Aliza! Theres loads of support on here:)

Okay, checking in afetr another few days away. Took the kids to see their dad in Inverness and managed to resist crisps and chocolate. Deliberately bought chocolate icecream for them (cos I don't like it):p Got back today and weighed in - another 3lb off - I am very pleased with this as ate out...

So far so good,another 3lb off this week - even got through another weekend away! No crisps no choccies and I havent missed them (yet!);) Very pleased as thats 6lbs in a fortnight

Just had my check up at the renal clinic - only have one slightly damaged kidney so even more reasons to shed the excess poundage! Consultant is pleased with my blood pressure but has noticed my weight had crept up since last visit - about 6kg in 6 months:eek: Gave me a bit of a slap on the...

Hi Jakki, As long as your hubby doesnt bring you anything back! Hang on in there x

Welcome! Best of luck x

Oh dear, that is the worry when everything is so readily available and desperate people can't see any other way around their situations. How sad

:)Welcome and good luck to you

It was fairly disgusting - I watched it on Sky plus this morning. The factory was disgusting, and I shudder to think how many people have eaten their sandwiches. The sneezing and going to the loo and the dirty gloves were all particularly yucky. I was suprised at the salt content in the Subway...

Good luck with that, I like a lot of the recipes cos the whole family seem to be able to eat the same, which is unusual for 5 of us, I normally make at least 2 if not 3 different meals!

Sweetheart, I can't see where you are going to lose 12lbs from - you look fantastic as you are.

Thanks Emma I am writing down all I eat and trying to stick to 1500 calories or thereabouts for the moment, using Weight Watchers recipes (have loads but never opened them!) and cutting out snacking in between. Definately having breakfast helps, I never usually do then sometimes skip lunch cos...

No probs - done, the price of suncream is shocking yet it is an essential - the kids in our nursery and school have to have them in their bags in the summer months

Well done - what a great first week - you will do it!:)

Starting weight 15st 10lb, despite having big family get together weeknd with wall to wall food and drink have managed to drop 3lb Not monumental but its off instead of on!:)

Have been away for a few days as it was my sis in laws birthday and we had a family get together, the usual chippies, fry ups,eating out and barbie on the beach. Normally wall to wall eating and flowing alcohol. This was no exception, but I managed to stay remarkly restrained, and didnt even...

Day 3, First two days have been fine, mainly sticking to Weightwatchers recipes and eating tons more fruit, with the added benefit of some fresh veggies from the garden. Meals are no problem for me, its evening snacking that does the real damage, but as its the holidays all our meals have been...

:)Best of luck:)

Hi Shortie! I totally get where your coming from with the water! Great dress by the way, I'm sure you'll look fab in it x

.......fat and forty, yet here I am almost 41 now and 15st 10lb. I hadn't stepped on the scales in quite a time, just went by my clothes fitting (or not). but after returning from holiday last week and seeing the damning evidence of the photos for myself, I can't hide any longer. Watching the...

Hi, and thanks for all your welcomes - its quite scary being the new girl! :-) I am going to try and follow weightwatchers , I attended before a couple of years ago and have all my books and recipes to follow. I am also trying to address my comfort (and boredom!) eating issues by doing more yoga...

Hello to all, I'm new today, only just found the site by accident but I have been reading posts for over 2 hours! Just come back from holidays to some gruesome photos and realise something has to be done. Just turned 40 mum of 3 and a shocking (to me) 15st 10lb, the heaviest I have been, even...
