Sts this week ... which I can't say I am totally surprised after a drunken evening and excess carbs in the form of free flowing Nakd bars. So it is back to the grind and being really good. Just under ten weeks to my holidays... still time to lose plenty of weight and drop a couple of dress...

I had a lovely night out thanks Vanwoodle... I had such a good time I spent most of yesterday with a chronic hangover (first one in about 6 years.) I ate low carb (steak in pepper sauce and a huge salad) however I had about two bottles of wine lol. I am not quite sure how it will affect my...

Thank you Vanwoodle... I feel positive (most of the time.) I have had a few hormonal wobbles thanks to totm but hopefully I will be able to prepare for these next month - I have started to take Evening Primrose Oil capsules on the promise they help with PMT, bloating and that general fed up and...

That's the key isn't it... stopping at one lol. The thing I like about nakd bars is the fact they are all natural with very few ingredients. I shall certainly look at making my own along the way but at the moment I can't focus past wanting to lose this weight. I want to spend as little time as...

I have bought 30 on my Asda order... hmmm that could be asking for it lol. I have tried the pecan pie one and the cashew cookie one, just the chocolate one left to go. x

Had a bit of a moment last night and ate a bag of crisps... My Carb Addict explained they weren't grains and they were made of potato so that was ok. Thankfully it was the last bag in the house or I may have been waking up confessing to eating five or six bags. I am glad yesterday is over, my...

Good luck on your journey. Take one day at a time... One step at a time and you will get there. Have a lovely weekend. X x

On reflection I am a bit annoyed at myself for thinking two pound is a rubbish weight loss. I know weight loss isn't a regular journey with guarenteed losses... Or even amounts... I am being daft. I have been out in the sunshine this morning and came back to make a lovely prawn stir fry for...

Can't say I am thrilled... but I did lose this week... 2lbs. I am hoping it is totm that is making me retain a couple of extra pounds of fluid as my diet was the leanest I have had it throughout all four weeks. I lost this 2lb between Saturday and Monday of last week... so the body has done...

Aww thank you both. :) I am feeling more positive tonight... I have followed my menu and made sure I have been busy so not tempted by over indulgence... Hopefully this bloat will not affect tomorrows weigh in and measure in too much. Hot bath and Dvd for me now. Enjoy your Friday evenings Ladies. X

Nearly at the four week mark and I have stuck to my diet plan really well (bar two bowls of Cheerios the other week.) However I am not looking forward to tomorrow's weigh in at all. It is my TOTM and I feel so bloated... my stomach has gone from feeling flat to fat over night. I also had a very...

So far I have slow baked the parsnips, tomatos and beetroot. All very lush with a little sea salt on... Almost like veggie crisps. They are really tasty. I shall try the fruit tomorrow.

I hope you are all fine and dandy today. :) As expected my doctor prescribed a PPI so unless my hernia behaves itself in the next cple of weeks I will be started them come May. THis makes me slightly concerned due to the long term side effects that have been reported on PPIs including (weight...

Hi there Sarah I just wanted to make a comment regarding your migraines. My son has had terrible migraines from mid-teen years (like yours hormone related.) He had auras, blinding headache and one side of his whole body would go numb - he used to get very scared. The medicine the doctors gave...

I normally have aloe vera (I actually like the taste) but have stopped since breastfeeding as it is meant to be quite an effective laxative to babies through the milk and it is advised not to take it. However I shall be back on the aloe vera in the next cple of weeks as I am stopping...

Good morning Lou :) Glad you're feeling better and getting into the low-carb zone. When it comes to losing weight and fighting obesity, I don't understand why the government want to push antiquated advice about grains and low fat onto people especially our children. It's not a natural way of...

My hiatus hernia is playing up at the moment... Gained with my last pregnancy and always likes to give me tons of acid and pain in the osophagus. I hope by losing weight I can get rid of it. It is making me miserable at the moment... Gaviscon and Zantac are no longer cutting it; time to go back...

Just drink a cple of pints of water Emmie to help flush it away overnight. X

Oh and a quick side note; my cellulite is rapidly disappearing even though I still have a few stone to lose. Is it the low carb unprocessed foods I am now eating? The coffee and tea I have ditched? Or the fact I am moving more? Probably a combination of the three. But as you can imagine I am...

Hello there Lou :) Lol@Cheeriogate . Yes, I surprised myself even... I am such a carb binger normally and don't know when to stop. Is your tummy less bloated today? Mine takes around 24 hrs to settle after some carbs. Is your 12 YO overweight or do you want to feed her less carbs from the long...

Great weight loss babytreetrunk. x

Yes Mis-Behave I definitely crave more as I approach TOTM... and just after moments of stress. Those are my danger zones I need to be prepared for. Hello there Happy&Healthy :) Yes, your post sounds just like something I could have written. It is so easy to get stuck in a miserable rut when...

I spent most of yesterday in a battle with CA... I really craved carbs something chronic. I think the veg crisps maybe sparked it off as I was okay until I had those. It maybe too early in my weight loss and hopeful eradication of my carb-addict to indulge in carby treat foods. So today's menu...

I don't need the prunes now Mis-Behave... a day of low carbing seems to have sorted that little problem out. ;) I hopped on the scales this morning and I have lost another 2lbs... so that is at least a 3lb loss for Saturday's weigh in. I am very pleased about that especially after a mini-cheat...

Yes once you get in the right head space the journey gets exciting doesn't it? Im glad your feeling better - keep up the good work. X x

Oh and today... For the first time in two and a half weeks I am constipated... Coincidence? Or those evil junk carbs? X

I have managed a lean green day today so hopefully by tomorrow I am back on the road to weight loss. Feeling okay and back in the zone, so I am very pleased. Bath and bed early for me this evening... I am pooped and I believe that is certainly from yesterdays cereal exploits. Have a nice evening...

Well done on your first weigh in... Thats a brilliant loss. My friend had a lean and green meal on Cambridge for the full 5 mths and lost 6st in 5 mths... It really doesnt affect your losses that much. I would have a meal for the next cple of days until the dizziness passes. I have a little one...

My diary is in the low carb section as it is essentially low carb. Low carbing sure helps knocking cravings on the head. Good luck for this weeks weigh in hon. X x

Thank you Mis-behave - you show great control to be able to eat just a little bit of 85% chocolate. I know if I had a bar in the house I would eat the full lot - I just can't do a small portions. I guess that's why I had two bowls of cereal last night instead of one. I shall certainly look up...

Thank you...I know youre talking sense. I am currently making some veg soup for tomorrows breakfast and lunch and then chicken and veg for tea. I am so determined to get back on track... But Cheerios though!!! More sugar than cereal ... Arghhhh!

Wow great loss Dexter's... Keep up the good work. X Welcome on board Bud and good luck. X x

I have had a bit of a tottering day... And much to my annoyance and stupidity I just ate two big bowls of Cheerios with almond milk. I will have to dig so deep today as Carb Addict has come back out to play and is saying 'you could have some crisps.... You may as well. Start back on track...

Well done on your weight loss hon... Its a loss and its heading in the right direction. Keep up the good work. X

Well done lass... 1.2 of fat is good... Its quite a large lump of fat. You wouldn't want to carry it around all day in your purse lol. Keep up the good work. X x

Well done on avoiding the buffet ... great determination. Any diet that uses ketosis as its form of weight loss doesn't lose pounds consistently. You have little stalls and then whooshes were you lose a handful of pounds. Don't be disheartened - always give the scales at least two weeks before...

Well youre allowed them if youre low carbing... It wouldnt kick you out of ketosis... I am not sure if Cambridge recommends it or not. X

Chicken in mayo with a green salad and garlic mushrooms. Won't knock you out of ketosis and very yum. X Congrats on being No1 Sunflower. Keep up the good work. X x

Yes... Quinoa is a seed. I soak it over night and then the next morning put in a pan with milk or soya milk,a few sun flower seeds or pine nuts and if I want something a little sweeter a put in a few sultanas or half a sliced banana. I then cook it slowly for fifteen to twenty minutes... Until...

Good morning Vanwoodle... :) I must admit, after getting the prawns and veg out of the fridge I just thought... urgh! So they have gone back in for lunch and I shall have the omelette when I get peckish for brekkie. At the moment I am just not hungry (even though I have been up since 5) and I...

Hello Squeakie and Tekniicolor... it's nice to know you're reading too. Good luck with your weight loss goals. X x :) Maybe it was a bit too early for something sweetish to eat... what did I go and do? :( Had two more pancakes for tea rather than the prawn stir-fry I had planned... Mrs Carb...

I know what you mean... A bit of sunshine can really make us feel positive. I loved going for a walk with my little one today in the sunshine, it seems so much easier to stick to plan now the cold is on its way out. x x

Good luck Naomi. X x

Just had the banana pancake for lunch and it was really nice: 2 eggs, 1 tbs ground almonds, 1/2 banana. I mashed the banana, used the hand blender to mix in the eggs and almonds. Cooked like you would a normal pancake and served with a 1 tbs of coconut cream (because it had been in the fridge...

Stinky headache tonight... I don't know if that is the wine from yesterday or the fact I have been very low carb today. Only had meals... Just not fancying snacks. So bath and early to bed for me... Enjoying 'Life On Mars' on Netflix... I have never seen it before. How had I never discovered it...

Quick confession: I have just hopped on the scales before having my morning cuppa and I have lost 4lbs. That's a pound a day so far, I am more than pleased with that as it puts me on target for a 3lb loss per week. (It's my TOTM too.) :D I know it will slow down by week two but hey... every...

Good morning ladies :) I hope you're well. Lisa; Primal is a great way of eating as within a matter of days your appetite is turned off and you don't crave carbs as with all low carb diets you won't feel hungry like you do if you're eating 'junk' carbs. Yesterday was the first day I didn't...

Good luck Jodi.. They sound like totally doable goals. X x Two stone by May... Keep your eyes on the first prize. Good luck X x

Hello again Vanwoodle. x We will succeed, absolutely ... as they say in the L'oreal adverts; We're worth it. :flirt2: This time - I refuse to give into the Carb Addict and her destructive needs for a momentary pleasure that leads to long term pain. What kind of menus are you following at the...

Hello VanWoodle :) That carb-addict is a real pain isn't it ... she will use any old con to get you to 'junk' out on rubbish carbs and then leave you feeling bloated and fed up. You have had some fabulous weight loss so far; well done you! Did you achieve that on Paleo or Slimming World? I...

Wow! Well done on losing 120lbs, what a huge loss. You can easily get on top of that small weight gain with your experience and determination. Did you use Atkins last time? Good luck with the new weight loss plan. x x

Well done on another 100% day. I know when I did CD I could start to see a visible difference after 4 wks... People started noticing after 6. I really loved that empty tummy/flat tummy feeling you get very early on with CD. Well time to get ready for work... Have a great week. X x

Day Three ~ Today's menu: B/fast: Grilled bacon, egg, tomatoes. Lunch: Mackeral and small baked potato with salad Dinner: Quinoa porridge made with soya milk and pumpkin seeds Snks: wafer thin ham, strawbs, sm pkt hazel nuts Exercise: 45 min pushchair walk to see the horses with...

Yesterday was quite a testing time; it had been a long day with deep snow outside and it was so bitterly cold I couldn't really take the little one out. She is also teething with two back molars so she was incredibly cranky all day. Many times my carb addict begged for those carbs that would...

Some people do find it easier than others ... So dont worry just look forward to some fabulous and speedy weightloss. X

It is amazing what energy it brings isnt it... Well done on getting yourself into a gym too. X

Well done ladies on your weight losses to date - I bet you can't wait for Summer and all those smaller sized lovely clothes. I know I can't. I would love to join you all for support and friendship as I am trying to lose 4 stone too. Right onwards and upwards - time to start drinking some water...

Hello there Sunflower Well done on your weightloss so far; you are doing really well. Have you got snow or floods there today? I was planning on a nice power walk today (well when I say power walk it's more of a fast trot lol) but we have so much snow and ice (East Yorks) it looks like I may...

Hello there :) BY day 5 you will feel so much better and by day 7 you will probably feel fantastic. If you join NetFlix (£5 a month) you can watch loads of films and Box sets that will help keep you occupied during the evenings especially as the weather is so poor. Also have you tried the...

Good luck with your weight loss. Three stone on CD is very doable - just make sure you drink at least 2 litres of water as well as your shakes and keep coming back to Minimins when you need a bit of support. The first five days are the hardest ... so once you have cracked those, you're on to a...

Day one went okay... well I didn't succumb to carbs even though I was sorely tempted a couple of times. I was okay until my little one went to bed and then I got that nagging little voice saying 'it's only day one, have some popcorn and crisps - enjoy the evening watching TV and we can start...

Day Two ~ Today's menu: B/fast: 2 egg cheese omelette Lunch: Roast chicken, green beans, peas, spinach Dinner: Large ham salad Snks: Apple, Frozen raspberries, sm pkt brazil nuts Exercise: 45 min power walk whilst DP has little one & 30 crunches; 30 squats, 30 arm exercises...

Hello there :) Thanks for that. I have read a bit about Paleo eating previously and it is certainly more my desired way of eating than having food plans were you can eat processed carbs. If I eat processed carbs within a matter of 30 minutes I crave more food and the over-eating cycle begins...

My daughter is 19 months old and I am still carrying four extra stone from pregnancy (I was two stone over weight when getting pregnant) and I have decided 2013 is the year to shed the excess fat and start looking fit and fantastic. I am currently slumping around in size 18/20 black sacks and...

I like almond and cashew nut butters too. My fav thing is to have them spread on slices of apple.

I am just starting a 'no grains' weight loss plan today too - so no sugar/wheat/corn/oats/rye etc but everything else is okay - (Potatoes once a day) - so quite low carb. As we have similiar stats it will be interesting to watch your journey. Good luck hun. x

Good luck! How did you get on? :) x
