Wow wow wow, a massive congratulations!! How are you feeling? I'm incredibly over the moon for you. Having two so close in age is awesome (I have 16 months between Freddie and Jimi). They look as though they could be twins but their personalities are so very different. You're going to love...

Hi all, not sure if anyone will remember me as I haven't been on here for a loooong time. Just dipping my toe back in to see how everyone is.

Congrats Kellie, xx

She is beautiful Kim. Really really pleased cannula is out and antibiotics are finished. Xx

Hey lovely lady. Sending lots of baby dust your way. You really do deserve it xx

He he, completely agree.

I have two spring babies, just perfect!! X

Hi. Yay to the episiotomy healing, boo to the thrush though... Gorgeous pic of Joshua he is just so bloody handsome..... Really pleased his cold has gone. Mae is really bunged up at the mo (worse at night) so Dr has given us some saline drops which seem to be helping. glad all is well xx

So,so happy for you. Congratulations Hun xx

Congrats, xx

Congrats Hun x

Your in my thoughts to. Stay strong lovely lady x

Congrats little miss. Such a clear scan pic. Gorgeous x

Kim, I'm sorry you and your little lady are going through this. My thoughts hopes and prayers are with you and your little family xx

Thank you ladies, we love it. We're a bit rubbish at agreeing on names and the more children we've had the harder it has got... Glad she's finally named though, I don't think my hormones could cope with her being nameless for much longer x

Thank you x

Thank you. X

Hi, just a quick update from me. Hope all you lovely ladies are well. My little lady finally has a name. We are calling her Mae. Xx

Congratulations lovely lady, so glad he's finally here safe and sound. Great weight. Hope your ok and having lots of newbie snuggles x

He he I have to agree. Thank you.

Ha ha yeah sorry about that. I'm terrible with modern technology. Thanks again.

Thank you chick. She's a little lovely.... Count down for you now!! Hope your feeling ok. Eeeee so exciting x

Hey lovely, really good to hear from you.Your little man is sooooooo gorgeous. I'm so sorry that the start has been a bit rubbish for you, it is very true that it does become easier, just take one day at a time. Your pics show how happy you and hubby are. I'm struggling with feeling guilty...

Thank you. X

Sorry just realised its upside down. Modern technology is not my strong point he he x

Ahh thanks Hun. She's scrumptious. Sleep deprivation is bonkers but well worth it. My kiddies have taken to her well. My little 3 year old is a little out of sorts, but it's still early days. My eldest daughter is being a proper mother hen. We are really stuck for names, I think I'm too...

Wow all these gorgeous babies. Congratulations Nelly, Kim and Penny. Enjoy your newborn snuggles. Thank you for all your messages. Still haven't picked a name..... Here she is

Hi lovely ladies I thought I would just update on here as I don't post on my thread very much and I know some of you aren't on it. Soooooo, my little bubs arrived rather rapidly on Monday (my birthday) at 4.01am weighing a chunky monkey 9lbs 7oz. As you can see from the time of arrival I didn't...

Ha ha, here's to having a full blown, long proper wee. I seriously can't wait ;)

Congratulations slimming girl. I'm rubbish with modern technology, but I know one of the other ladies will be able to add you as they did for me :)

They really are lovely and comfy where they are aren't they!! I'm booked in to be induced at 8am on Monday (my birthday he he). Have never got as far as being induced before but I have a funny feeling I'm going to this time. Hope your ok!! :)

Wow clever lady, firstly a massive congratulations on the safe arrival of Joshua. He is just perfect. 9lb 1oz is such a fab weight (I love a big baby). I'm so sorry that you both have infections and it's costing a fortune for you all to be together. You really are in the right place for now...

Hey lovely, my friend was the same as you when she tried to her sweep. She had one 48 hours later as cervix was softening by then. Her waters broke when she got home and delivered him less then 24hrs later. Try not to be too disappointed it really is amazing how quickly our bodies decide to go...

Hi chick, no nothing to report I'm afraid. Am losing my plug as of yesterday and today, but this can happen up to a week before labour begins. I haven't even got back ache or period pains to report as they have disappeared to..... Induction on Monday at 8 if nothing before then. Could of gone...

Hey Emma and Jess congratulations.

Hey lovely. No definitely no more bubs for us. As much as we love having a big family were getting on now he he. This pregnancy has really taken it out of me and I just feel done (I hope that makes sense). We have been together for over 15 years now, we got married in July and were both looking...

He he, you can join me in the over due gang!! I'm sure your little one won't keep you waiting much longer:)

Ha ha, sorry ladies my little one is still quite happily tucked up in my belly. Happy due date PJAllen. Hope things get going for you soon.

So glad they got your waters. On the labour ward now Hun, definitely no turning back. X

Eeeeee your doing so well. Your body sounds like it's contracting to me. I only have had my waters clipped once and it was fine. We're all different though. Try not to worry once there gone things are likely to move quicker. Which means getting that step closer to holding your son. Keep with it...

Morning chick! Hope your ok. At least now your there you know you won't be leaving with out your boy. Sending you lots of contraction vibes. Just think you're going to be a mummy very very soon. X

Thanks Hun. Will keep you all posted...

I always assumed that to before I had my first. Because I've had a few labours now apparently you never quite close properly (from dilation) so in all fairness I was probably 1cm on conception he he.

Chick, I really hope this sweep gets things moving for you. I'm more excited about your impending labour than I am about my own. Good luck:)

Thanks Hun.

Hi, still no news from me. Had sweep this morning and she said I'm 1.5cm dilated. Nothing exciting though, when I had my sweep with my last pregnancy at 5 days over due I was 4cm and still didn't give birth for another 7 days (I was 12 days late with him). I'm fine though still nice and relaxed...

My Daughter is really excited, my 7 year old son is just taking it in his stride (laid back like father like son). My 3 year old is more interested in winding up my two year old. As for my two year old I think he's in for the shock of his life he he. :)

I can't really remember when I started getting them but definitely the last few weeks they have become a lot more sharpe. Cause bubs is fully engaged it keeps making the inside of my left leg go dead so I'm permanently walking as if I have one leg longer than the other much to my two year olds...

Eeeeeee a girl after my own heart, when feeling fed up send hubby out for sweet n sour chicken balls and egg fried rice perfect. The world always seems like a better place after a good Chinese!! Chick your body has already began to do what it's meant to. 1st labours can take there time...

All is good thanks. No signs of baby arriving on time. I'm still quite relaxed, I don't get much time to think about going in to labour with such a busy household. I wouldn't have it any other way of course. I've never had to be induced so we will see. Although bubs arriving on my birthday...

Hi, no signs of bubs making an entrance by tomorrow. Head is very low as getting fanny daggers galore.... Will keep everyone posted. I'm used to going overdue so I'm quite relaxed with baby will come when ready. I think I'm more excited about Joey JoJo going into labour than I am about my own...

This actually sounds like my last 3 labours he he, hoping the next one is just as quick....

Wow wee check you out, 1-2cm already. Sending lots of contraction vibes. Good luck chick :)

Ooh I hear you with the knees, mine have now started clicking. I have the constant period pain to can only be a good sign though. It's slightly bonkers that our babies are imminent. Bring on the babies yay!!

Same here, this little one is well and truly happy staying put, think it's just too cosy and warm. Even if your little one doesn't turn by tomorrow, at least you know you only have 12 days max until induction. I have a sweep on Thursday if bubs hasn't made an appearance by then. I've been told...

Hi, thanks for popping in, all is good here thanks. No signs of an arrival before Weds (d day), but like I've said before mine don't have a tendency to arrive early..... Quite uncomfortable as head is fully engaged. Sometime bubs feels like it's trying to break its waters it's pushing so low in...

I'm due in 3 days, but bubs is nice and comfy and warm where it is. I will be quite surprised if I have him/her before weds. I keep being asked if I have had any "niggles" but I don' get theses I just seem to go straight in to contractions. The only thing I notice is movement really slows down...

Hi lovely, easier said than done I know but try not to worry yourself this close to D Day. I've done it nearly 5 times and as Laura said above I only have positive stories to tell. It's amazing how you feel once bubs is in your arms. Your body knows what it has to do. I agree with only the...

He he don't think I can be bothered to find out!! :)

Yep, I got told on Thurs from my midwife about the pessary and the sperm. Should have seen my hubby's face light up. Glad your ok Hun :)

Just behind you Joey jojo. 9 days to go eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :)

Ha ha, now that picture I would like to see!! So good that you have your whole journey documented. That's something I never did and I really wish we had. I do have copies of all my maternity notes though.... Yes I'm just hoping with this one I will cough and bubs will be in my arms (wishful...

How you doing lovely lady? Your live labour feed was amazing. You did so well and Cole is sooooo scrumptious..... Your right it is exciting. As daft as it sounds because this is our 5th and our lives are so busy with the 4 we already have this pregnancy has just kind of progressed with out me...

It's exciting, surreal and a little bit bonkers. January seemed to be such a long time away and now it's here. Hopefully not much longer to wait..... My kids are getting impatient he he....

I 2nd the glass of milk, defo helps.... God damn heartburn. Hope it eases for you :)

She's beautiful. X

Sending lots of hugs x

Then it's me..... :)

37+2 Hi Jess apologies I haven't replied sooner, I appreciate that you keep checking in. The last few weeks have been full of poorly children one after the other, then hubby, then me yesterday. My two year old is still suffering but hopefully over the worse. It's so exciting seeing all these...

Wow, huge congratulations on the safe arrival of baby Ellen. When I had my 3rd I was examined as soon as I got to hospital and the midwife said I was 3cm dilated. She then said "she always gets caught out by 3rd time mums as they always go quickly" she then left the room to which I said to hubby...

Oh my goodness I haven't been on for a while and look what I've missed. Congratulations Saz and Missy, your boys are gorgeous. Gorgeous names (my 3 year old is called Freddie). Love love love a birth story. Congratulations x

Hey chick sorry that you've had a bit of a scare!! As the others have said never feel silly about contacting a midwife. They would rather help than not, that's what their there for. You totally did the right thing. Glad you and your cheeky monkey are all ok though :)

Hi lovely. All is well thank you. I've been absolutely rubbish at posting on here, but have been keeping up with everyone else's threads. How are you and and your little lady doing? 32 weeks I saw the midwife on Thursday, bubs is lying transverse at the mo. She didn't seem overly concerned as it...

It was strange but wonderful..... that's the only time I have seen fingers with any of my pregnancies. She lay mainly on my left side and I used to rub in circle motions that side of of my bump. If I stopped she would push her bum out (a little round bump would appear) so I'd carry on. I can...

When I was pregnant with my first, about 34 weeks ish, my tummy had stretched and the skin over the top of my ribs was quite thin. Her fingers were over my ribs (strange feeling) so when I had a look you could see her little fingers moving (like playing the Piano) it was amazing but slightly...

Hi lovey. I know how your feeling. I'm two days behind you and have gained about the same. It got to the point with me that I avoided posting in here because I was so angry with myself. I have since given myself a kick up my (rather pregnant) arse. Food will always be an addiction for me and I...

He he, will do :)

I'll be around chick he he!!

Do you know what, this pregnancy has been filled with lots of ups and downs, but I can't wait to meet my lil bubs. Just want to sniff its head and take in that gorgeous new born smell... :) Arm has been fine, no aching or feeling like its bruised. It's not a live vaccine either so hopefully no...

You can tell I have 4 kids as I have just described them as boobies :)

I hear ya with the crusty nips. Have only had it 2 of my pregnancies though. It's definitely the colostrum. I have BF all of mine, and for the 1st few days it's just thick gloop (that's the best way I can describe it) then by about day 3/4 your milk finally comes in and the gloop turns in to...

He he, yeah looks like another whopper!! None of mine have been tiny.... Anti D was all sorted on Friday, oh the dignity of having to get my bum out to be injected. The midwife found it quite amusing when my little two year old said "eurgh" as soon as I got it out.... Had whopping cough jab...

That's a gorgeous lil bump your growing!

A huge high five for the jazzy colour....

So, went for my appointment today for my anti D and bloods only to be told that the anti D hasn't arrived even though it was ordered 8 weeks ago!! So have to do it all again tomorrow.... Anyhow, they did my blood pressure and listened to bubs heartbeat (amazing). They also measured bump and...

Thank you Missy :)

OMG, these pics are amazing. He looks truly scrumptious....

Could someone add me to please Rachael78 (Rachael)-15th January 2014 (no idea)

27+5 Hi. So sorry I didn't reply sooner to your lovely encouraging messages. I just need to crack on with this and stop stressing so much about my weight/eating habits. I have gained a fair amount through all of my pregnancies but have always lost it eventually. As of this morning I have gained...

Hi, hope all is good with you and your little boy.... Pregnancy is going well, but my food demons have surfaced and I'm really struggling with my weight:(. I feel like a bit of a fool as it's only me that can control it. Think this is why I have avoided posting on here for a while.... I know I...

Kellie I'm am so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine how it feels to want something so much and then have it taken away from you. Grieve for your baby girl, I'm sure you'll go through every emotion under the sun. You and your family are in my thoughts. X

Kellie, my thoughts are with you and family. I'm glad there's no more waiting for answers for you. As already said we're all here for you. X

Kellie, I think your amazing. Sending lots of love and hugs. Stay strong chick...

Thinking of you chick, sending big hugs x

Ahh yes the joys of heart palpations. I've had them with all of mine. Caffeine free diet coke really helps mine:)

It must be like a bolt out of the blue, especially if you have had this test with your others. I wouldn't have given it a 2nd thought either. Your right you need this appointment to know what your dealing with, if anything..... I think your amazing being a fab mum of 4. Sending big hugs

Hi. We refused the test and we have 4 children already. I have never had it (the test). Like you Frances we have Downes in our family to. He is loved no more or no less than any of them. It's all down to personal choice at the end of the day.

Hi Kellie. Just want you to know my thoughts are with you. The not knowing and having to wait for answers can't be easy. I'm sure I can speak for every one on here, we are here for you whenever you want. Sending lots of virtual love and hugs.:)

Thinking of you. Good luck chick. Looking forward to the update :)

He he this made me giggle...:)

Wow, check out that pout.. Gorgeous. Mine today took about 20 mins as bub was very obedient!! It wasn't too uncomfortable for me, I just really needed a pee. Bub is resting on my bladder....

Me and hubby always said only 2, now we're expecting no 5... :)

Glad your appointment went well. Did you find out why they visit you at home now?

Ooh, good luck chick x

Absolutely brilliant. :)

Thank you ladies, can't stop smiling....:) Showed the pic to my 2 year old, he looked and said "No, I don't like it". Made me and the kids giggle...

20+1 We had our 20 week scan this morning. Truly AMAZING. I felt my 1st proper kick as it booted the sonographer's probe, a feisty one I think. We saw its tongue and it swallowing. You can also see the umbilical cord just by its mouth. Im literally in love... Here's piccy

How nice that this is their 1st grandchild :)

She lives in Llandegfan, I think that's how you spell it? :)

Cool, look forward to the pics...:)

Cool, look forward to the pics...:)

Ohh happy 20 weeks. I will be joining you in two days. Have 20 week scan on thurs morning. Looking forward to seeing bubs again..... :)

Definitely not mad, just incredibly lucky.... :)

We are excited about scan. We won't be finding out though. We haven't found out with any of them. I love the surprise. I totally understand people that do find out though. As for reactions, it really upset me initially but now I'm like sod you. I don't offload my kids either, I had them cause I...

Hi just popping in to subscribe. Congratulations on your pregnancy. :)

Hey lovely, just popping in to subscribe. Congratulations on your pregnancy chick....

Hey Kellie, congrats on your pregnancy. I'm also pregnant with bubs no 5. Reaction initially for us was awful to. All I can say is that our kids are our lives (me and hubby), so I have decided to sod the negative reactions, I'm truly blessed to have such a gorgeous family. Not long until your...

Before I had babies I was a real toughie. Now I cry at anything. I watched a programme on camels a couple of weeks ago and literally sobbed. I was still sobbing 4 hours later. I mean seriously camels?? :)

I know what you mean about wearing proper maternity trousers. I tried on some over the bump skinny jeans yesterday in h&m. They were so comfy I went back and bought them in each colour. All in the sale to. They made me look well and truly pregnant, instead of looking like my clothes are too...

Im actually 17+2 today, was a day ahead of myself yesterday, I blame baby brain!! i love it when the bump starts expanding, mine felt HUGE last night, although that was probably to do with the amount I ate yesterday, I just couldn't stop. Is your ill bubs your mums 1st grandchild?

17+2 morning all. My bump is expanding rather rapidly. I think my belly has just gone "yep I remember this" and boom. I'm not complaining as its top looking pregnant. I'd forgot how much hubby likes me being pregnant!! Again, not complaining he he.... Indigestion has really kicked in, ouch. I...

Thank you, the best day of our lives, although I was tucked up in bed by 10.30 he he.... i know, it seems to take an age getting to 12 weeks, then past that it starts speeding up. Heard a lovely strong heart beat on Thursday... Amazing :)

Thank you for the congratulations. It's hard isn't it. I think where I went wrong with my other pregnancies is I stopped weighing as soon as I found out and just allowed myself to expand, and expand, and expand. I have in the past used my pregnancies as an excuse to eat and quite frankly just...

Wow wow wow, congratulations chick. How amazing are you feeling at the mo?. Literally over the moon for you..... :)

Good luck for today, looking forward to the pics :)

Thank you, it was a truly gorgeous day. 7lbs is a really minimal gain for 17 weeks. Well done. I didn't weigh with my other pregnancies and ballooned, definitely weighing weekly throughout this one though!! Midwife later, kids are going to listen to see if it sounds like a train or a horse!!

That's a stone in total to lose not a tone!!!

Soooo I'm now a married woman. We got married on Sunday, it was perfect. Relaxed and easy going, just how we wanted it. My kids had the time of their lives and were so good all day. I'm still on a high. Best day of my life. 16 weeks So where has the time gone? 16 weeks today. Midwife tomorrow...

How exciting!! Do you have any inklings as to what you may be having?? :)

Woo hoo! High five to the all normal!!

I had a persistent cough with my 2nd. I also had heart burn to. I put it down to him having masses and masses of dark hair when he was born. My other 3 were as bold as koots and I didn't get it with them. The cough disappeared as soon as he arrived!! Try not to worry:)

Good god no wonder you didn't use them!! To be honest I've never heard of them before. If they can have have such an effect in the third trimester, it scares me to think what they could do in the 1st trimester when the foetus is developing. Scary stuff.... Thanks for the info, very interesting:)

Jees the docs in your area aren't very forgiving are they!! This pregnancy lark affects us all in different ways. You know yourself when things aren't right. Just rest,rest,rest. Chin up chick... :)

Hey Sarah, just out of curiosity which anti sickness tabs did you get prescribed?

If its any consolation sickness has returned for me to. I really need this to pass as we are getting married a week on Sunday...... This heat is not my friend at the mo....

Seriously, well done you for getting through the test, I've never had it, it doesn't sound like the most pleasurable experience. Hopefully all will be ok and you won't have to do it again. How has your return to work been? :)

My friend who had a little boy carried really low. She looked like she had a football in her belly. It was the neatest bump I have ever seen. We all carry differently. My backside ends up looking more pregnant than my belly if I'm honest.... :)

I'm with you, I love the surprise at the end. My hubby to be has always been the one saying what it is when it comes out. Very special!! Wow I'm very impressed that you're 95% sorted with your names, me and OH are a bit rubbish at agreeing.... We always get there in the end though!!

I take it you DON'T like surprises, he he!! How nice to find out on your birthday. I totally understand why people find out. Also names are hard to choose at the best of times. Only 1 of mine has come home with a name, the others were nameless for a good couple of weeks. Good god, better start...

Hi, just out of curiosity are any of you going to find out what your having at your 20 week scan? I haven't found out with any of mine as I love love love the element of surprise. I do like a good guess though. Was just wandering if any of you have checked out The Nub Theory? Hope your all ok...

Check out the cute bumpage!! That's a cool little bump you're rocking. :)

It feels great to finally see little bub. Yes your right reaching the 12 week mark is fab. Think it's awesome we are due two days apart. Your bub sounds like my 3rd, he was so chilled he was laying face down and refused to move. When I went back for my 20 week scan he was still laying flat on...

Thank you very much. It's a wonderful, strange and exciting feeling all wrapped into 1. Your right its very strange seeing them moving about and not feeling it. It feels real now. Me and hubby to be are telling the kids tonight. Our daughter is 9 and our 3 boys are 6,3 and 2 (well he will be...

I'm terrible with modern technology....

Oh just realised I've done it twice and upside down..... He he

Scan went well. Little bub was wriggling around. Felt good to see him/her. My dates are spot on so 12+1 today. Really want to post pic but don't know how?

Eek I'm 12 weeks today. I have my scan tomorrow morning. I'm relieved its finally here, my tummy has expanded in the last week and I'm looking well and truly pregnant. So don't think I can keep this under wraps for much longer even if I wanted to. I also have my wedding dress fitting tomorrow...

Wow wee, that pic is awesome!! Literally over the moon for you. Well done Mrs..... 2 more sleeps for me, eek.....

Hey chick, thinking of you tomorrow. I'm sure all is going to be fine. Looking forward to seeing a pic. Sooooo glad your beginning to function again.....

Yay, maybe just maybe this is the beginning of dare I say it.... Normal?? After being poorly for so long it's hard to remember how that feels, right!! My hubby to be went to Glastonbury on Tuesday and isn't back until Monday. Thought it was going to be a nightmare ( he wouldn't have gone it I...

Hey just checking in to see how your doing? Hope all is well...

Glad you've got another two weeks off, hope you didn't get any hassle this time from Dr.

Hi for me it was about 14 weeks that I returned to work. Sickness had usually subsided by then, but energy levels stayed low for a few weeks longer. I'm 11+2 today and I'm on Cyclizine anti sickness tabs (have been able to reduce to just 1 a day instead of 3). They have really helped!! Hope...

Hi ladies, just want to reassure you that it does get better. This is my 5th pregnancy and I have had severe sickness with 4 of them. It's not just the being sick, it's the lack of energy, the dizzy spells mainly the not being able to function properly. It's truly awful. I think I said before I...

Firstly congrats on your pregnancy and fab weight loss. I'm almost 11 weeks with baby no 5. I had lost 4.5 stone on cwp when I found out. I'm also a bugger for eating way too much when I'm pregnant and gaining excessive amounts of weight. I have had quite severe sickness so my weight actually...

Hi Lucy, congrats to you also on pregnancy and fab weight loss. I think it's awesome your keeping up with the RC exercise. That's one thing I have always been rubbish with, exercise!!. How far along are you? Are you finding it ok keeping your weight on an even keel? Since starting these anti...

Yay, congrats on your pregnancy to. I'm 10+1 today so only a couple of days between us. I have had sickness with all but 1 of my pregnancies. I became a full time mum after my last (he will be 2 next month) but with my 1st 3 I worked full time and was off sick for 8 weeks with each... I suppose...

Hi, we'll firstly a MASSIVE congratulations on your BFP! I'm assuming your still walking around in a daze. It's all very surreal isn't it. Would love some support with keeping weight gain to a minimum. I have had severe sickness for the last 3 weeks, was advised by Dr to go to hospital on Monday...

Hey chick, thank you. I have got my head in to gear now, initial shock over!! Yes I think sw is definitely the way to go. Have been looking into it. Nausea has kicked in so munching as and when to try and keep it at bay at the mo. So far weight has stayed the same. When sickness fades off, full...

Hi, just come across this thread. I have been doing CWP since the end of March. I have lost 40lbs from then until now and have just found out I'm pregnant. A little shocked but happy. Scared now of falling in to old habits and gaining it all back. I did lighter life in 2009 and fell pregnant...

Hi. I have today found out I'm pregnant with baby no.5. I think I must be about 6.5 weeks. Up until today I have been following the Cambridge weight plan. I have lost 40lbs in 9 weeks and now I'm really worried I'm going to pile it back on again..... I'm still in shock I think. We are getting...

Wow massive well done for resisting the lamb and pilau. Your totally right this is just a few weeks out of the rest of your life. The way i see t is all this lovely food will still be there at the end of this. Keep going hun your doing so well.....

Dont punish yourself as life does get in the way at times. Just get back on track tomorrow. you can do this.

My body has been telling me for the last week that its time to step up. I just found I couldn't go as long between my products. Was getting very shaky and sometimes quite light headed. So definitely my body telling me it needed more fuel. I have never got bored, for me I have been having 3...

hi, well done on week 1 loss. 2 st is totally doable chick. I have been ss for 8.5 weeks and lost 38lbs as of today. I found week 1 and 2 the most difficult. Never gave in though or cheated. My body has let me know that its time to up steps so as of today im ss+. Good luck chick

Hey chick don't be disappointed with a maintain, just think how amazing you have done so far. A maintain is much better than a gain. Keep up the great work, definitely onwards and downwards....

Hey guys, hope everyone is having a good week. Got weighed today and lost another 3lbs yay!! Slightly amazed that I have lost a stone in the last 3 weeks. So as you know I have been totally ss from day 1, no cheating, totally got in the zone and just went for it. Im now 8.5 weeks in and 38lbs...

He he, made me giggle....

I'm in my skinny jeans. Finally. Can't wait to wear them to watch MUSE on June 1st.....

Hey chick, good luck with WI tomorrow. Who knows you might be pleasantly surprised!! It's funny as my loses seem to slow down mid cycle, yet TOTM doesn't seem to effect me.... I'm still very hungry a lot of the time. It's amazing how your body tells you when it's time to move up steps. Get...

Just out of curiosity, and with out too much detail has anyone experienced their TOTM getting lighter? My cycle is still 28 days but this one was really light and only lasted a few days (I'm not complaining though)... Hope your all having a good week.

Do you know what, you have worked bloody hard. You must be really looking forward to your break. Just enjoy it, and get straight back on it on the Tuesday. Getting back in to ketosis won't take you long and then straight back to lots of loses...I have woken the last two days with the shakes and...

Hi, just read your cheese and pickle sandwich craving made me giggle. That's all I craved when I was pregnant with my daughter. Had three boys after her and never had that craving with them. Congrats on pregnancy no 2...

Yay, really pleased to see the 11's, it's been a good few years since I last saw them. The highs really do outweigh the lows on this diet. Finally managed to get in the Kate Moss jeans, so will be wearing them when I go and watch MUSE on 1st June. Can't wait. So massive well done for going to...

Hey mrs well done. Half a stone is fabulous. 3 weeks with no cheats, you must feel awesome. Keep it up Hun, your doing so well.

Hi, hope everyone is having a good week. Mine got even better today! Weigh in said I have lost another 5.5lbs which is what I lost last week to. Totm to, wowzer. So now officially in the 11's. Yay....

Ha ha that has made me giggle!! Well done on your loss this week, my god girl your on a role!! I'm getting weighed on Fri, 12st 3lbs on last weigh in would LOVE to see the 11's this week! Fingers crossed. TOTM though, we'll see.

Hey chick, hope the kettle chips craving passed!! Why are some days good and others you just crave something. I found myself a couple of weeks ago stood with a tube of the kids Pringles, lid in 1 hand, tube 1/2 full of crisps in the other. I stared,sniffed and stared a little more. Must have...

Hey guys. I think it could be your body telling you to up steps. The loses are still good so maybe have a word with your consultants and see what they say?

Hey Anna to start off with congrats on the 3lbs loss. I know it's disappointing when you don't get the loss you want. Last week I had a really good week, 4 litres of water a day as well as green tea and only lost 1.1lbs. This week I did exactly the same again and lost 5.5lbs. Just stick with it...

4 1/2 stone, holy shamolie you must feel amazing. How much more do you want to lose? How good is it though that you're still losing even with all the medication!! Keep it up chick. So weigh in today for me another 5.5lbs off (slightly over the moon). Day 46 of complete ss today and I'm 2st 1lbs...

Hi, I have porridge all day everyday. On week 6 and not bored or tempted to eat something that I shouldn't. Good luck with what ever you choose. Stick to this whatever you choose and the results are fab. Good luck.

Yay well done, you're doing soooo well.. I get weighed tomorrow, hopefully a better loss than last week!! I'm addicted to porridge to. That's all I've had this week.... Keep with it.

Look at your shape, amazing. You look fab.. Well done

Hi, gig was good. Managed to get the Kate Moss jeans on still not quite there yet though. Good to get them on though. Yes I'm in Sunny Manchester. How are you getting on. Is the whip lash any better?

Hi. Today is day 42 for me. I have lost 24lbs as of my weigh in on Friday. My last two loses have been really slow. 2.2lbs and 1.1lbs on Friday. Frustrating but still in the zone. May be the closer I get to target the slower it comes off. I haven't cheated in these 6 weeks and to look on the...

Wow 14 weeks that is AMAZING!

Thanks guys. I'm not too disheartened, it's just a bit frustrating. I was probably having more than a tea spoon a day. I'm not having it at all this week as I'm curious to see what I might lose this week with out it... Thanks again

Hi, I know how you feel. I got weighed Friday ion day 39. Thought I'd had a really good week but cwp scales said only 1.1lbs off. Only 2.2lbs last week. It's very frustrating when doing everything right. Maybe a decent loss next week.... Lets hope!!

I got weighed yesterday after having a fab week on ss. Yesterday was day 39 of complete ss. My loses have been great up until this weigh in. I lost 1.1lbs. I'm drinking between 3.5 and 4 litres of water a day. The only difference is I have been using the sunshine orange in my cups of tea. This...

Yay, really pleased your doing good. You sound as though your totally in the zone. Keep it up chick. Me and the other half are watching James at the M.E.N tomorrow night. I'm the designated driver. Actually really looking forward to the challenge of not drinking..... Have a pair of Kate Moss at...

Hey Katie, all is still going well. Get weighed tomorrow and lost 2lbs last week. So 22lbs in 33 days feels good. Had a good week, still not given in. Upped my water this week so see if that has had an effect. Had been a bit rubbish with it last week. Hope all is good with you.

Hi, we'll done for your loss so far. To be at almost a stone and a half lighter than you were is a really big achievement. We all have good and bad days. Your sticking with it and that's the main thing. The results on this plan can be as quick or slow as you want them to be. Life does get in the...

Wow well done, 13lbs in as many days is AMAZING. Enjoy San Carlos tonight (very jealous). Your choices sound great so you shouldn't have too much of a problem with ketosis. A massive well done again and enjoy tonight...

Hey chick, really pleased all is going well. It's ace when you start noticing a difference in yourself. That's the joy of this diet, quick results. Loving the lolly idea will definitely be giving that a go... Good luck with your weigh in tomorrow, let us know how it goes...

Hi, I have 4 children. My daughter is 9 and my boys 6,3 and 1. I also had a mother that made eating food a major issue hence the fact I have struggled with food all my adult life. My boys aren't too bothered by this but my daughter is very impressionable. I have tried to bring her up with a...

Hey thindreamer how are you getting on?

Hey, you sound really positive and in control. Loving the food choices and good on you for planning ahead. I LOVE San Carlo In Manchester, one of my fav places to dine..... I know water is a drag but a litre or so extra should help with the constipation!!! Keep it up you're doing soooo well...

Hey Katie, don't be too hard on yourself, look how well you have done so far. Even if the scales show a 3lbs gain that's still half a stone you have lost. We all have good days and bad. Try not to dwell on it and get straight back on it tomorrow. I totally believe you can do this. Being in as...

Managing a whole 28 days of 100% ss and still feeling totally motivated to do this.

Hi, how is everyone getting on today? So Sunday went remarkably well. I cooked a gorgeous roast and wasn't tempted at all, which is a first. Hubby to be and kids really enjoyed it. Roast was cooked after watching my eldest perform at a fun day. 6 of the mums commented on how much weight I have...

Thank you, we actually went and had a sneaky peak at a venue today. I'm feeling really determined at the moment to knock this weight off, feeling in a pretty good place at the mo. had porridge for brekkie and then later split my mint choc shake in half. Made it with hot water blitzed with the...

Wowzer 10lbs sounds fab. You have done so well to get from a size 20/22 to a 14/16. At my heaviest I was a 18/20 and really lost my confidence. I think this is why I'm so determined to do this as I don't want to lose my self esteem again. I think if you have come this far then 6 weeks on plan...

Hi, I have been weighed today (day 25) and have lost another 4lbs. I only had porridge all week.

Hi. Well done on the 6lb loss that's ace. Almost half a stone in a week is fab. I hope it's given you a boost!! Stick to this 100% and you can easily reach your target by August. If I remember rightly a stone a month is how it averages out. Your right flossnoscar about seeing a difference in...

Hi thindreamer first of all well done for getting to day 6. How have you found it so far? I also get weighed tomorrow and would love to hear how you get on! You have got past the the worst bit (1st week). Tomorrows weigh in will give you a real boost. How much do you want to lose in total? Good...

Hey chick all is going well at the mo. WI is tomorrow.... TOTM though so not expecting a big loss. Congrats on the 1 week anniversary tomorrow your doing really well sticking to 600 cals. That takes a lot of will power. Keep with it, really looking forward to hearing how good your loss is on tues.

OMG, you don't even look like the same person!! AMAZING...

Yay I love it when things start to fit. Enjoy the wedding on Sat I'm sure you'll look and feel gorgeous. Just noticed you weigh the same as me. My target is 10,10.

Whiplash is all ok?? Your doing really well.... I know about the tea/orange thing sounds so wrong but actually works. Think I'm getting slightly addicted to it though. My mini aim this week is to get back to having four litres of water a day. Did it for about 16 days then got a bit lazy. My...

Hey crazy diamond I have been following your diary since I started and your my thinspiration!! Our start weights were quite similar. Updates on your blog have really helped me on my low days(believe me there have been a few). I'm on day 22 and at last weigh in on day 18 was 16.5lbs lighter. It's...

How is ss going today? I totally understand the milk in tea situation. I used to drink bucket loads. I changed to a really weak green tea with two tablet sweeteners. Although not as good as the real thing it will do for now. I purchased a sunshine orange powder last week and am putting a tiny...

Getting to day 22 today and not caved. Getting into my jeans on Sun for the 1st time in 4 years. My hubby to be telling me last night how amazing he thinks I am for sticking to this. He doesn't want to praise too much as in his words has always loved and fancied me whatever size I have been.....

Wow well done for finding the strength to restart. 6lbs already is a fab loss. Good luck for ss from tomorrow. Like any diet it has its good and bad days but I think the quick results outweigh the bad days. I'm ss and have been since day 1. No bars as of yet just mainly porridges and shakes...

Day 21 today. I can't quite believe I'm at this stage. I got weighed on Friday and had lost another 4lb yay. 16.5 in 18 days feels good. Struggling with the water at the mo. think I have just become a bit lazy. Wore a pair of jeans for the 1st time in about 4 years yesterday. Felt amazing...

Wow you look absolutely gorgeous. If you look as good as that now just think how your going to look at target.

Thanks for your support, it really helps. Cravings have gone. Hubby to be took the kids out for a few hours and I had a kip. This really helped. I woke feeling so much better. Got the kids off to bed, then sat down to a apple and cinnamon porridge and a green tea not quite chicken but still did...

Day 14... Really struggling today. Really Really struggling. For some reason i am desperate to eat chicken? Im not going to cave but my goodness today is hard. hope everyone is having a good day.

It's great that you can do this with your mum. I think it really helps when you have someone doing it with you. You can do this. I'm on day 12 today and will have my 2nd weigh in at 12pm. I also have a very supportive hubby to be who over the years has seen me try out every diet under the sun...

You haven't given up and you haven't let anyone down, CD is tough at the best of times let alone moving and planning a wedding. You can do anything you set your mind to.

Hi, I'm on day 11 and have been totally motivated by your posts so far. 9lbs in 1 week is amazing. Look how far you have come since your 1st picture of 16 st. How amazing are you going to feel on your wedding day having got to target (and believe me you can get there). You have managed to...

Oh no poor you!! How are you feeling today?

I know I think getting weighed 5 days in really helped and gave me a real boost. I'm slightly worried that I'm finding it quite easy at the moment!! Just wandering if this will last? ....

Wow 7lb well done you. How are you finding it? I'm starting week 2 today and feeling really positive. I get weighed on Friday. I can definitely feel a difference already. Cleaning my teeth about 8 times a day though due to paranoia over bad breath. I have 4 young children and thought I would...

Hi, thanks for your message. If you dont mind me asking how much weight did you lose orininally? Is it easy to maintain once your at target? Im really curious as sometimes i think the easy part is losing, the weight its the maintaining thats sooooo hard.

Hi thanks for your support. You have had two FAB loses. I'm also inspired by your mini targets, definetly going to set my own. If i have the loses you have had in my first two weeks, then i will be one haooy lady. My main goal is to be in a pair of skinny jeans by June 1st (off to watch the...

Hi guys. I started ss on Monday weighing in at 14.4 st. I was weighed today on day 5 and have lost 8lb. I wont be weighed again now for 7 days. Really chuffed with my loss in 5 days. Im finding it ok so far. Totally loving the porridges, but really couldn't stomach the soups so did a swap today...
