Hi Cherrybomb and Serialslimmer! Thanks for your support. So yesterday went pretty good until I got home. Was just about to prepare my dinner when I had to take my eldest to A&E as he was limping - injury from playing football at the park with this friends....teenage boys!!! Spent what felt...

Hi, Well day 1 for me. I would like to lose 6 stone but am focussing on the first 4 stone as I would like to lose that before our holiday to Spain mid August. I've always struggled with the water intake, but going to give it a good go! I'm using up my SnS packs whilst starting on Exante TS+...

Thanks for the great tip KBQueen! I'll give it a try for sure. Yesterday went OK though I struggled a lot:o. Hey ho, weight loss is never easy and I keep reminding myself that it will get a bit easier once Ketosis kicks in! I have decided to buy a size smaller jeans and hang it in front of my...

Hi, Well, I'm no stranger to a VLCD and Slim 'n Save in particular ;). Over the last two years I've lost around 5 stone (on and off) on a VLCD and gained two back:mad:! I've decided to start a diary in the hope that it will motivate me. I've had countless false starts but then again, I've also...

Well done Purple on your awesome loss! Onwards and downwards! x

Hi Purpleflower, love reading your journey so far. I'm a returner too. Lost 4 stone last year, gained nearly two back after a gallbladder op. Then lost the 2 stone again this year with S&S, took some time of dieting during the summer but still have 3 more stone to loose so have decided to get...

Hey Sunflowerlady! Gosh it's been a while! Massive congrats on your baby boy!!:) I've started a 10 week challenge to hopefully lose 2 stone in time for Christmas this year! I gained some of my initial losses from last year but lost it again with S&S a couple of months back. Took some time...

Hey Ruthelet, good to hear from you! So glad you are feeling better! WOW! Well done on maintaining for the last 5 weeks. For me maintenance is almost harder than losing weight, so very well done! Last week on plan for me before my 2 week break. But to be honest I'm probably not going to be on...

Hey Ruthlet, Just checking in to see how you are doing? Hope you are feeling better! The boards are so quiet these days. Suppose lots of people are on their hollibobs;)! Well week 10 for me and two weeks left before my 2 week holiday/break. Still can't believe that I've made 10 weeks:eek:! I...

Oh no Ruthlet:(, that's not nice that you are still poorly. I really hope this second lot of anti-b's clears up the infection for you and you are on the mend soon! Totally understand that you need to come off plan for a bit to get your health back on track. I myself have a sore throat today and...

Hey Ruthlet! Gosh, sounds like you have really had a bad patch with the tonsilitis:(. Hope you are feeling better. Your doc is right in that you have to concentrate on getting your health back on track before going down the steps again. Sending you lots and lots of get well wishes...

Hey Ruthlet, glad to hear you are feeling better:)! It sucks being ill! How are you feeling now? I can not believe that today is 6 weeks that I have been on plan...halfway through my journey!!:D I lost 2lb this week. Not sure why my loss has been lower this week, but I am grateful for the 2lb...

Thanks Sophiesops! x Hope you feel better real soon Ruthlet! Nothing worse than being ill and that in summer too. Sending you loads of get well wishes! x

Hey Ruthlet! How did you get on with WI at your consultant's? Have you given any more thought as to what you will do on Saturday at your friend's birthday party? I have been thrown a curve ball myself! We have been told we will have a BBQ at work on Friday:eek:. I have thought about it and will...

Hey Ruthlet, well done on your 5lb loss! That is absolutely fantastic!:happy096: Gosh, that is a difficult one. I can understand that you want to stay on plan, yet keep your friend happy too. Don't envy you with this decision! If you do decide to come off plan and eat some of the cakes, will...

Well done Ruthlet! Great loss:D! Good luck for the week ahead x

Well done! You look amazing. Good luck for the rest of your journey! x

Hey Ruthlet! Well done!:happy036:You are doing fab!! It's such an awesome feeling when your clothes start getting looser! I unpacked my summer clothes this week and most fit but there is a small pile which nearly fits, but just not yet. I've decided that's my next goal...not just to get to the...

Hi Jo Well done on getting back on it! Wednesday is 4 weeks that I've been on plan - 100% and I still can't believe it after the countless restarts I had. Your diary was the one that inspired me to give it a good go again and I have! Good luck for the week ahead! x

Congrats on your 2lb loss and for also sticking with it! I am also doing SS+ but with a bit of skimmed milk. Not quite enough to be 810, so I'm still classing it as SS+. I also do gym twice a week and burn approx 600 cals a week, so I don't think the bit of skimmed milk a day is making much...

You are right there! The feeling of seeing a loss on the scales is awesome!:). I lost another 3lb this week which took me to my first stone off! Very happy:D. Though for me, everyday is hard...lol! It's a constant mind battle. Wanting to be thin but also wanting to eat everything in sight!:eek...

Hi Jo, Gosh losing weight and maintaining that weight loss sure is hard! Like you say it's harder when you get close to goal and feel comfortable with the way you look. What works for me on days when I feel like just giving up is thinking back to how I felt when my clothes were so thight that...

Hey Ruthlet, How have you been doing? Hope you are still going stong! -3lb for me this week, which means I've lost my first stone...yay!:) I am finding the weight is definitely coming off much slower this time round, but think it is because I might have less to lose than last time round? Still...

Well done on getting back on plan Jo1989! Wow, only 6 weeks left on plan, before you know it you will be done! Today was my 2nd WI and I lost 3lb this week. Very happy! Just hoping I can lose 3lb for the next 10 weeks then I will be pretty much at the goal I set for myself:). Good luck for the...

Hey Ruthlet, how was WI? I can't believe that I have stuck to the plan for 2 weeks now. I had a 3lb loss this week, which I am happy about. Still 100% and still going strong! Bring on week 3! x

Fab news on your house and glad you stayed on plan! I'm a firm believer in 'everything will work out in the end'! Very happy for you:). It's a fantastic feeling when your clothes are getting too big and exciting to be moving into the next size down! Good luck for the week ahead! x

I'm sorry about your house sale falling through Jo1989, that's pants!:( However coming off plan for a couple of days to comfort/console yourself will only result in temporary relief and thereafter you will feel bad for coming off plan. If you can, try and stick with it. You have done so well to...

8lbs off for me!:) Gosh, when I read through your diary and see how far you've come - failure is not a word that I associate your journey with! Going up the steps is challenging, especially for someone that's followed SS. It's the emotional aspect of going up the steps, allowing more food to...

Well done on passing your exam Jo1989!:happy096: Personally I think you are doing really well. When I started reading your diary just over a week ago, I decided to give the diet one more go after so many false starts and today was my first WI! We are all just human. Slip-ups/Blips are bound to...

Well done Ruthlet, that's a really great loss!:clap: Onwards and downwards for week 2! I had my WI this morning and 8lb off for me. I did the strip test a couple of days ago and it turned nice and pink so I am now in Ketosis :D. It's strange but at this stage I am prouder of myself for sticking...

Hi Ruthlet, Well done on completing Day 1! I also started yesterday after losing 4 stone last year and gaining 2 back:mad:! Day one is always the hardest for me and then day 3-5, once in Ketosis I find it much easier. I'm back to lose 3 stone before my holiday and family photo shoot:eek: mid...

Thanks Jo :-) That's a good idea about taking it by slots in a day. I think that might just be what I need to do until I reach Ketosis. I'm also definately going to go through the steps this time. Though, once I've lost this 3 stone, I probably still would want to shift another 1.5-2 stone...

Hi Jo, Have been reading your diary and you are doing so well! This is day 1 for me. I lost 4 stone on SS+ last year and have gained 2 back! So dissapointed and cross with myself! I know exactly why I put the weight back on and that makes me even more angry with myself! Its now got to the point...

Hi ladies, how is everyone doing today? I'm feeling a bit better. Felt a bit sick yesterday, but much better this morning. I am doing SS+ so 3 packs a day and some protein/veg at night. I did SS+ last time too and for me (as I have to cook for my family at night) it just helps me get through the...

I'm craving all sorts of chocolate! Its my downfall in life and of course we are nearing Easter and EVERYWHERE I go, all is see is chocolate!!!...lol. Wow, you are doing well already! I have decided to go an buy a pair of jeans or jeggings the next size down and have it as my motivation! The...

Hi Simone and Vdub, how are you guys getting on? I've had my first WI today and lost 5lbs and happy with that! I am struggling this time round and its taking all my willpower but I am determined. How is everyone coping with the water? x

Hi Ciara, how are you doing? I've had my 1st WI today and lost 5lbs. Very happy with that. I am expecting slower losses this time round as I'm not quite as strict with myself (allowing myself some skimmed milk and having some slim rice/noodles with my evening meal. For me, this just helps me...

Hi Simone, this is my 2nd time too. Started last Tue so in week 1 on SS+. I have also heard the same, and to be honest I am finding it very hard. Taking a lot of will power to get through these first few days. Hoping WI on Tue is a good loss and hopefully it will inspire me a bit more...lol...

Hello! How have you been getting on? I've been ok, but am finding it very hard! I have heard others say they find their 2nd time on CWP hard, but never gave it much thought. But gosh I am struggling slightly! Taking a lot of will power to talk myself through these first days...lol. But I am...

Hi Ciara, This is my second time too. Did SS+ last year and lost 4 stone. Maintained for a while but like you old habbits started returning and I gained half a stone:eek:. Decided to 'nip it in the butt' now before half a stone becomes 1 stone becomes 4 stones and I'm not sure if I would have...

Hi Cat, I did SS+ from March to June and lost 4 stone. Went on holiday in June and came off plan until last week when I re started. I tried Slim 'n Save inbetween, but as great as the plan is, I just couldn't stick with it. I more or less maintained my loss during my break (besides a 7lb gain...

I have a pink (it had to be pink when I bought it as it reminds me that once I'm slim I'll be able to wear light and bright colours and not just hide away in dark colours anymore):p 1l sports bottle. I try to have one by lunchtime, and another by dinner time with a couple of large cups of coffee...

Well done! You are really doing great! Ketosis is wonderful:). I can so relate to it being easier to shave legs in the bath...lol...before my 4 stone loss I could barely see my legs (had to lift my fat tummy towards my chest to catch a glimpse of them...lol) nevermind shave them but so many...

Hey Sunflowerlady! How are you doing? xx

That's a really good idea Weasey! I think that might work very well on my weekends! Embo, how was your 2nd day? Mine went ok, I managed to stay on plan but only managed about 1.5l of water. I had a headache from hell last night. Popped a couple of paracetamols and went off to bed. Feeling...

Well done on being 100% yesterday! Only people that have done a VLCD diet before can truly appreciate what a remarkable achievement that is!!:happy036:It's so easy to cave and give in to temptation, especially with a rumbly tummy :p I find these early days the hardest as I find myself thinking...

Yesterday went fine. Had a bar for breakfast, then a choc mint shake for lunch and dinner was a cheesy pasta with some quorn and broccoli. Managed 2l of water which I was very happy with! I am soooo bad with the water when I'm not on a diet and I find the water intake the hardest part. Today is...

It's in London. They have these big shared parties where loads of companies can book tables and then there is a theme to the night, though I'm not sure what this year's is yet. It's a dress up event so smart casual to smart wear. Some go the whole way with 3 piece suits and long evening dresses...

Hi Embo Well done on your weight loss so far! I did CWP from March to June this year and lost 4 stone. Came off it for 2 holidays and then joined SnS. I pretty much maintained whilst off the diet but still have 3 stone to lose! I'm hoping to lose 2 stone in time for our Xmas party this year...

Hello Sunflowerlady! Good to see you are sticking to it! Well done. As you know, it's flippen hard but the results are amazing. Just think how lovely it will be to go on holiday knowing you have lost more weight. Never mind the bikini, just being comfy on holiday (not being too hot due to excess...

Oh my hat but you are brave!! Lol! I have just had a look at the level 1 video on Youtube and it looks quite intense...cant even begin to think what level 3 is like then! Good for you though! Hope you have a great day! x

Yay on 1.4kg lost! Awesome :-) I had a crispy choc shake for breakfast and then had a cottage pie meal with some tinned carrots for lunch. I suspect the svoury SnS meals are going to be my lifesaver in winter...lol. What I like about SnS is that you are allowed salt & pepper to flavour your...

How did weigh in go? I love SnS. The flavours and variety is fantastic and the price very reasonable. Their online support on their website is really fantastic and a life saver. I am also doing 2 products and a meal a day. Today is day 2. Day 1 went OK and I craved all sorts by the end of last...

Hello Sunflowerlady!! How are you doing? Managed to pop back on here today after a break, but I've re started my weight loss plan again today and am ready for round 2! I have more or less maitained since coming off CWP and SnS. The summer hols are all over now and I am ready to tackle the rest...

Snacking is my downfall too. Before CWP it was large portion sizes and loads of chocolate. I had a bit of chocolate, ice cream etc when off plan the last 2 weeks, but honestly I'm content with just a bit and then enough. My portion sizes are also way smaller now, probably cause my stomach has...

Thanks sunflowerlady! These things happen, just pick up today and start again. Hoping for fab losses for us both! Jillybeans....where are you???? xx

SnS is much cheaper. It works out to about £104.00 (including next day courier delivery) for a 28 day supply. You dont have a consultant to go see so weigh yourself at home. In my order I got a started pack which explained everything, a measuring tape and a shaker that the shakes can be mixed...

Hello Sunflowerlady! Nice that you are back :-) Well done on being back to SS! I have bitten the bullet and switched to Slim 'n Save. I just needed the variety. I have lost the weight gained on holiday and back to where I was pre holiday, i.e the 70's. Got my supply of SnS today and must say...

Pls excuse spelling errors in last post as posting from my phone. Jillybeans, I had some rice paella dishes on holiday and pasta and loved it too! Good news is I have lost the weight gained on holiday and back to where I was before I left. Just hope following SW will also give me good results. xx

Hang in there Jillybeans, the right man will come along soon enough! Great compliments that you dont look overweight :) I always tease my hubby and say I married him for love, but if I had to get married again, it would be for money...lol...a rich sugar daddy that has one foot in the...

So glad you had a good time at the wedding!! Last night's dinner out for my son's birthday was not as easy as I thought. Was a buffet type restaurant and there were very little Cambridge friendly foods on the list! I had what I could but just ate much less than I would have. Oh well! I have...

Hello! I have been on Cambridge for about 16 weeks and have lost 4 stone. I am thinking of swapping over to Slim and Save as the costs are less and there seem to be much more variety. I still have 3 stone to lose. Is there anyone that has been on Cambridge before and swapped over to Slim &...

Helllooooo!! I am back from holiday and we had a fabulous time!! The weather was awesome, 31-35 every day :D. So my holiday trip started off eventful with hubby forgetting to pack my CD packs which I left on the table for him to pack with the last few holiday bits. I ended up having no packs...

Hi ladies! Yes, Jillybeans catching a flight first thing tomorrow morning. Flight not too bad, just 4 hours :) Packed last night and as usual it looks like I've packed for 4 weeks, not 1...lol. Hubby just shakes his head...hahaha. Was the most amazing feeling to pack clothes that actually fit me...

Well I would day that's a good loss Sunflowerlady, losing what you have gained. Now onwards and downwards as they say. Jillybeans, SW is a fab weight loss plan. You will still lose weight. The cottage pie without the mash sounds yum! Have a very busy day planned and not packed yet. Will pack...

Well done CDanna! Fantastic weight loss!! Keep it up! Well done Ivory for staying 100%! 3 days for me before I am off on holiday and move up to step 3. Very much looking forward to it and have been studying step 3 in my book....lol. I bumped into an old neighbour last night at the shops and...

A dress....good for you Jillybeans!! Am sure you are going to look stunning! My mom swears by Spanx. She says they are a girls best friend (that is.....besides diamonds of course:p!) I hope you will have a fabulous time at the wedding! You never know who you might meet there......;) The weather...

Morning ladies! I took my measurements last night (I take them after each stone loss) and again I was amazed at the inch losses!! The biggest losses this time round was from my hips, thighs (finally...YAY!!) and bum. Smaller losses on my arms, bust (could do with no more losses from...

Morning ladies! How are you both this morning? I (finally!!) managed to go shopping last night and got some lovely cropped trousers, tops, a cardigan and costumes! I got size 16 tops and size 18 bottoms. The 16 tops fit perfectly and the 18's are a bit loose. Althought the 16 bottoms fitted...

Hi team, Had WI today 2lb off for me! YAY!! Honestly thought I would STS this week due to water retention, but I'm soooo happy with the 2lb off! Takes me to exactly 4 stone off in 15 weeks!! I still can't believe it! I will be on holiday from Sunday for a week and will move up to Step 3 while...

Had WI today and -2lb off for me!! Yay!! I honestly thought I would STS due to water retention!! I am soooo happy! And the 2lb off took me to my 4th stone off in 15 weeks!!! :D I have reached one of the main targets I set for myself...to lose 4 stone before holiday! I got my bars for holiday...

Morning ladies! Hope you both had lovely weekends! Sunflowerlady, glad you are back in it, before you know it you would have reached the 80's! You are so close!! Sounds like the house is keeping you busy! I always find working in your own house very rewarding :) I had a busy weekend. Had...

Fantastic loss Djelibeybi! Well done! x

Morning ladies! So glad its Friday. Been a long week! Have a busy weekend ahead. Friends over on Sat eve and hopefully some shopping on Sunday. Feeling tired and bloated today,usually feel like ths week after totm where I retain water. Not expecting a great loss this week but really hoping for a...

Claire...my advice is to take it one day at a time. The minute you look at how much weight you have to lose, it can feel overwhelming. The fist week, I took it one day at a time. I made a list of small mini goals on paper, i.e. stick to plan for 1 day, for 1 week, lose 7lb, lose 1 stone, reach...

The tomato soup is a tricky one to make. If you dont read the instructions at the back and just make it like you would the other soups, you'll find it almost 'curdles' for lack of a better word. Not nice at all. You have to add a small amount of hot (not boiling) water to the soup powder and...

LOl Jillybeans, you do make me laugh w.r.t the size 12 works trousers:) I have also heard Chilli speeds up the metabolism (as does cinnamon). Celeriac is 'Celeriac, also called turnip-rooted celery or knob celery, is a variety of celery cultivated for its edible roots, hypocotyl, and shoots...

Wow! You look fantastic! Congratulations on reaching goal. Such an inspiration! x

Great post Ivory! Such true words! x

Wow Sunflowerlady! That is awesome. Hopefully step 3 will do the trick for you to help you carry on. Since starting CWP you have already lost 20.7kg! That's a massive amount of weight to lose. I know just what you are saying about that great feeling when you fit into a size that you havent been...

Well done for going for a drive and not caving! I found that once I was fully in ketosis it got easier, though some days I still find it hard. Temptation is all around us. Stay strong :)

I have a 1l sports bottle that I fill 2.5 times per day and have summer berry flavouring in it. Could never have done the water without it! x

I drink 2.5 - 2.7l a day. Can't do any more, but for me that's like drinking 10l a day:p as before starting CD I could go 2-3 days without drinking anything...nothing, nada, zero...the only liquid that passed my lips was the water used to brush teeth! I don't do tea or coffee either. Bad, I...

LOL TeapotTee, I was a serial weigher as well! Weighed every day and sometimes a couple of times a day. The poor scale has also been known to go flying accross my bedroom floor from me kicking it when it showed any sort of weight gain/fluctuations...lol:p But as the weeks have gone on, I have...

O yes, I have joined another thread on here in the CD Teams section called Firesharks. I feel a bit weird....ok, weirder than normal....lol:p....posting alone on Sunflowers dairy, so if you are looking for me I'll be on there. I'll check in here from time to time though;) xx

Hmmm...Cottage pie! Good 'ole wholesome winter food!! You know mashed celeriac as a substitute for the mashed potatoe works a treat and is very healthy as well! I have seen another thread on here where on lady switched from CWP to SW and she said she did the red days for the first week and...

Diane1966 I am so glad you shared. I too will be swapping to SW after losing another 2 stone but worried about the transition and whether I would initially gain weight on SW, but your post has put me at ease. Thank you :)

Thank you for letting me join IvoryMarri:). Well done on your fantastic loss CDanna:D! I am looking forward to being a member of this team and giving/receiving help & advice! My Wi is on a Monday morning so will add my losses then. x

How's everyone doing today? The thread is so quiet....? Hope you are both well? x

Good morning. Do you mind if I join too? I am 2lb off losing 4 stone and have another 2.5 - 3 stone to go! I have been 100% SS+ and plan on staying that way until I reach goal (besides for a week long holiday in 10 days time, but even then I'm sticking to CWP, just moving up to a higher step). :-)

Hello Jillybeans!! Glad you had a great weekend!! Sometimes letting your hair down is just what the doc ordered! We have friends over for dinner on Saturday night and the Dh of my friend does not eat any fruit or veg! Nothing, nada, zero!! Basically he only eats meat, rice, pasta and some...

Thanks Sunflowelady! Dont know about the weather where you are today but gosh it is humid in the SE today! Feels like Durban in Feb! I dont mind the heat but I'm not a big fan of humidity:tongue:! So glad I brought a choc mint shake with me and not a soup...lol. Are you still on CWP or have you...

Wow! You look great!! Well done! x

Wow, what a fantastic achievement! Well done! x

Morning ladies! How was your weekend? Jillybeans, how wad the hen night? Hope you had a fab night out! WI for me later today! Hope its an ok one. Had a good weekend. Cooked hubby a lovely fathers day dinner and also made him a lovely breakfast. All in all a good weekend. Just had WI and -2.5lb...

Ooh! Lucky fish! Enjoy the long weekend. And most importantly...have fun at the batchelorette party! xx

Welcome back Sunflowerlady! You were missed!! Not to worry Jillybeans, you'll find your mojo again! What's everyone doing this weekend?Hubby is working tomorrow, so I'll be cleaning house and doing the shopping. Sunday is fathers day and I'm cooking hubby a lovely meal! Hope you both have a...

Have just seen your stats on your profile and your BMI is so close to a Healthy BMI in anycase. With healthy/moderate eating you should reach that healthy BMI in no time:)! Can't wait for my BMI to reach that stage! xx

I'll be right there with you going back to normal eating/socialising and society just as soon as I lose the last 2 stone! You are just as much an inspiration to me! You lost a lot of weight...25kg is a massive of amount to have shifted! The Spur chicken schnitzel is to drool for! Though...the...

I know all about wanting warm food when its cold! It's nearly half way through June and its still cold here...FFS!! All I want is warm food, that's why I have chicken and veg in my CD soup at night so that it's something warm to eat. Cant even begin to think of salads at this stage! Dont be too...

How are you doing this week Jillybeans? x

Just back from WI and have lost 3.5lb!:) Really did not expect it as TOTM but really happy!:party0049:. 4.5lb to go and then I have reached my 4th stone off...YAY!! Ooh, the batchelorette party sounds great fun!! Lol at the avo's. Def not on plan but much better than pizza or other crap. The...

Where are you Jillybeans? How was your weekend? I went shopping with my mom on Saturday and had to walk through the food court a few times and the smells of KFC and all the other foods was harsh! Luckilly I had a peanut crunch bar and that kept me on the straight and narrow...lol. Is it just me...

Morning Jillybeans! Lol at death by chocolate...what happened? But well done for losing those 2kgs. Maybe contentment has set in? Maybe that's why you are hovering? You need to find your mojo and kick these last couple of kgs under the butt so you can reach the 80's!! My TOTM has graced me with...

Hmmm...your Woolies veggie soup does sound devine!! I so love veggies:heartpump: I wish I could feel like you do about your current size, but I'm just not there yet :sigh:. I think I might start to feel 'comfortable in my own skin' by the time I reach the 5th stone off mark (hopefully before my...

Ok...Im officially OFF Quorn mince:yuk:!!! Had it for the last few nights which was Ok as I had pre-cooked it and froze it before the kitchen got ripped out but last night I had ran out of pre cooked meals and decided to cook some in the microwave....not a good idea! I think it's safe to say I'm...

I think cheese only comes on step 4 or 5. Could be wrong but think that's what I read. Skinny jeans & I will never be friends...lol. My legs are just too chunky for them. No matter what size...lol. My mom on the other hand, has very thin legs and skinny's look fab on her. Shows how different we...

That's right. A 40 is a 16 and a 38 is a 14. But it's fabulous that you are in a 14/16 top already!!! But if the size 14 jeans fit (even though a bit snug) then that means you are not far off fitting into them comfortably and that is a massive achievement!!! Can you imagine the exstatic feeling...

:woohoo:on being only 1.5kg off the 80's!!!! That's fabulous!!!:wee: Lol at the wine last night!! I have a pair of jeans on today that I rescued from the clothes I was going to dump before I started CD and when I fitted it, it fitted just fine, 2 weeks down the lane and it's falling off me...

I am not sure if you can use an Oxo cube or not? Is the salt content in there high? Maybe they make a low fat/salt one? The fish bake you made sounds yummy!! Well done on losing that 2kg, thats fantastic! Onwards and downwards as they say:). I stopped the womens multi vit as soon as my...

:happy096: Jillybeans on reaching that size 16 works trousers!! That's fab!! :woohoo: Dont blame you for being sick of stir fry...lol. Try something else that's low fat. How about making some spicy fish cakes with spices and some white fish and then having it with some salad leaves or making a...

Hi, I suffered with spotting for nearly 3 weeks. Started spotting just a couple of days after my period and then spotted for 10 or so days and then had another full on period (and VERY heavy too!!). I was so fed up as it started playing with my losses and I was very emotional about it and very...

Got back from WI and lost 3lb! Yay!! That's just 1lb short of 3.5 stone in 12 weeks on SS+! Very happy with that and just 8lb more to go before my 4th stone which I can hopefully do in 3 weeks time (fingers crossed!!) - whoo hoo!! It just makes me feel like the hard work of not caving on the...

Oohh, the roast and trimmings sounds nice! Red meat...how I miss and love thee....lol:) Saturday night I was dreaming all night of oxtail potjie...lol:p I told hubby that if he wakes up in the night and I'm nibbling his arm, not to get a fright, just to know I'm dreaming of eating meat...

Hello ladies :) Hope you both had a great weekend! Went to a party today and stayed on plan. People noticed the weight loss, which was nice :) A friends mom actually did not greet me at first cause she didn't recognise me...lol. Tomorrow is WI. Hoping for a 2 or 3lb loss...that would be nice...

Congrats Sunflowerlady, hope you will have many happy years in your new home. The SA day was really nice. So many people, it gets bigger every year. The food smells were to die for...but I survived. Had soup before we went and had a lemon bar around 5pm. Got home and then had some quorn and...

PS, Sorry for spelling mistakes, typing from phone today. x

Lol at your kids threatening to split on you...hahaha! I think I've just reached the point where I want the weight gone and I don't want to be on CWP forever nor no I want to ne on a diet forever, so I'm knuckling down now, getting it over and done with ad quick as I can. I knew there would be...

Morning ladies! Nevermind Jillybeans, if you stick to it this week, the gain will be gone before ling. Onwards and downwards as they say! I am at home today, the kitchen is coming along but far from finished. Hopefully middle next week. Jillybeans, I can still resist most things, but the smell...

Hubby makes us Biltong. He built a special box to make it in. But droe wors, that's another story. Though we do make our own boerewors. It' just so darn difficult to get the casings for droe wors. The Tannies at the SA day make the yummiest vetkoek and mince, pannekoek, koeksisters and the lis...

LOL Jillybeans, you do make me laugh:D! I'll def look out for those rusks at the SA day. My little one already has a list as long as my arm of all the things I should buy him...lol. We went to a shopping centre last Friday and they had a Sweets from Heaven in there. He chose peppermint crisps...

Hmmm......stew. Sounds so yummy! Ouma rusks, was just saying to hubby last night that we must buy some at the SA day this weekend as both my boys love them. A pack barely lasts a day when the two of them gets hold of it:) I think you are right. Will go buy a size 16 and fit it on every weekend...

Morning ladies! Sunflowerlady, glad to hear you won't leave Jillybeans & I....lol:grouphugg:and 89ks as your goal is not far off now! Exciting stuff!! Jillybeans, how did your DD's assessment go? I think 89kg's is definately achievable by the end of June! It's like I said to you yesterday...

I hope that doesn't mean you'll leave us when you go on to healthy eating and exercise? x

When last has everyone done their measurements? I did mine on Monday night and was stunned to see the amount of cm's lost so far. My waist, tummy and bum have seen the biggest losses, followed by my hips, arms and bust:eek: x

You'll still lose weight on Step 2 Sunflowerlady. My consultant told me the difference between SS/SS+ and Step 2 is roughly about 2-3lb a month, so really not much difference. I will start moving up the steps once I have lost 5 stone, so 2 more stone to go for me, but SS+ works well for me at...

I so know what you are saying Jillybeans! Lol....I feel the way about my legs and calves you do about your ankles! Being quite short at 5'3, my calves are 'chunky' and out of everything on my body, that's what I dislike the most! Like you, the reason for me never wearing skirts or dresses:sigh...

Ooh, the choc mint bar sounds nice. Haven't had that before. Must try it. I had porridge for breakfast, chicken and mushroom soup for lunch, quorn mince, cabbage and mushroom soup for dinner. I just can't do shakes when its cold outside. I can't believe I'll have my 12th weigh in on Monday. I...

Morning ladies! Hello Sunflowerlady, glad you had a fab camping weekend! You are much braver than me. I am not a camping person...the closest I get to camping is when we go down to my mom's caravan at the seaside....lol:p (Jillybeans...caravan in the UK is like a big mobile home, not a SA...

Hi ladies! Hope you both had a good week-end and Jillybeans hope your back is feeling better! I had WI today and lost 4lb. Very happy about it! This makes 3 stone 3lb in 11 weeks! Yay!! I have 11lbs left to make my 4th stone before my holiday at the end of June in just over 4 weeks' time, so I...

Ooh the wrap sounds mouthwatering delish! I'm sitting in the garden catching a few rays as boys inside having Pizza Hut Pizza. It's taken all my willpower to walk away. Still had to cut up my little ones pizza for him too. It looked so nice..and its stuffed crust too...boo hoo! My house is in...

Hey ladies, shew...had a crazy day! Started off with kitchen units and appliances being delivered at 7am. I had to have a chewy bar for breakfast as could not get to kettle or tap to mix my shakes! Then went shopping with my mom and forgot my shake in the car. So ended up having a lemon bar...

Hi there, I could have written this post myself. Well done on your weight loss, its an amazing loss! I have now lost 3 stone and am halfway through my journey, but the losses are slowing down and lately my scales are barely budging despite the fact that I am 100% SS+. I am getting really...

Wow, you look fantastic! Well done. I'm half way through my journey. 3 stone down, 3 more to go. It's pics like yours that keep me going:)

Nothing wrong with scambled egg and toast! I love it!:) I've taken out meatballs so tonight is pasta with meatballs and garlic bread....it kills me having to cook these nice foods for them. Pasta is one of my most favourite foods of all time. Microwave ready meals from next week...lol x

So where is everyone today?? Sunflowerlady, has your consultant mentioned to you that we can have 3 lemon yoghurt bars a day? I have seen on another thread that CWP has implemented this change recently as the Lemon bar is now treated the same as a shake, porridge, soup cause it has the same...

Yay....a dress for the wedding Jillybeans...you will look and feel fabulous! What does your EXH say about your weight loss? x

Wow, Wow, Wow!!:happy096: Sunflowerlady, that is a superb loss!! That's like 8 pounds which is fantastic!! Well done! Did you take your DH out to dinner last night? When do you move? How are you doing today Jillybeans? I am so glad it's nearly weekend. I can do with this long weekend. Got...

I love the shakes too but find it a bit hard to have shake when it's cold outside. I like the shakes with lots of ice in the blender, almost like a slush puppy...hmmm! I still dont understand how one can lose inches/cm's but not actual weight. How does that work? Does my head in...lol. Im not a...

Lol at the Jersey Jillybeans! I will take a pic for you as soon as I can. Hubby working late tonight so can't tonight, will try to take one on the weekend for you but will PM it to you...still a bit shy to put it in the open for everyone to see...lol. Had a few texts from my consultant and she...

Beans...lol. I also eat early with the boys. I gave up chocolate, crisps and cookies for Lent in Feb and then started CD in March. Always wanted something sweet to snack on in the evenings after dinner, but have now trained myself that after dinner, that's it - no more eating. It's habbit now...

Wow!!! What a massive diffrence. You look great! x

I also use the Cambridge fibre, but its not doing much for me. Started out with one teaspoon a day and now up to two a day and still no luck. Consultant recommended getting some Physillium Husks which I will do over the weekend.

Hi, There should be a colour chart on your ketosis sticks box. I use Ketostix and on the side of the bottle there is a chart which shows you the different colours for Ketosis. A rosy pink colour to dark purple means you are in Ketosis. Not 100% sure but I think I have read on here before that a...

Forgot to say, my dress came yesterday and I fitted it on and it is stunning! I really can't believe it fits. Its a size 16!! It is such a flattering dress, hides a lot! Though, as usual I will have to have it altered as it is too long. Story of my life...lol. I ended up putting too much water...

No sneaky chocolates are allowed Jillybeans....lol!:whip: It's not Rooibos tea that I was talking about (I love Rooibos...we buy it freely in the UK shops:)) but a tea called Black Forest Tea. When I was in SA in December I saw some in Spar. Kind of like an orage box with some tree's on it...

WOW!! Sunflowerlady that is a brilliant loss!! Fingers crossed for tonight's WI!! What is Movicol? Do you get it only as prescription and is it similiar to the likes of Senokot and Dulcolax? Is it really good? Oooh, exciting stuff signing for your new house! Tell us more about it. Is it a new...

Lol, I'm not shy. Thought I put it on here, but maybe it was on another thread? I started out at 16.10 (107kg) and am now down to 13.11 (87.5kg). I'm 1.60m (5'3) so dont have much space to carry the weight. I am hoping to be 79kg by the time we go on holiday (or every close) and then hoping to...

Urgh...I also have loose skin and an apron from my 2 C-sections! Lol at tucking it into your brooks...I do the same:D. I dont think the apron will ever completely go away:o My consultant and I had a chat about loose skin at my last WI and she said that hers took about 3 months after she'd lost...

La La La La....(that's me closing my ears and not listening to what warm sunny weather you are having that the moment Jillybeans...lol:p) So last night, I spend the entire night emptying out my cupboard and putting clothes on various piles. I made a pile for clothes that don't fit anymore (by...

Hello ladies! Hope you both had lovely week ends. Mine was busy! I lost 2lb at WI today. I am actually suprised I lost at all with the TOTM that has been all over the place. TOTM is still not finished and at this rate I fear it may never leave me :sigh:!!! However, the loss is good. To be...

Sunflowerlady, meant to also say that the food you made for your DH's birthday sounds devine!! Jillybeans, hope you enjoyed the Spur and also your friends visit today! I love Spur ribs. Hmmmm

well one on that awesome loss Jillybeans, I would be over the moon with a big loss like that. Both your weekends sound awesome. Mine will be spent ripping out kitchen floors in prep for the new units being del this week, so nothing as nice as your weekends...lol. WI on Monday morning and...

Wow Jillybeans! Hope your scale is right. That would be a fab loss for this week! Good luck for the official WI tomorrow! Glad you are feeling a bit better about your DD and hope everything works out well for you! Thanks for the compliment about the dress. I hope it fits. I'm quite short at...

Hello ladies! I bought a summer dress today! The last time I wore a dress was probably about 10 years ago!! I bought it for my holiday at the end of June and got it in a size 16! Yikes!! Can't wait for it to come so I can try it on!! What do you think? x

Sorry Jilly....big hugs my friend. Hope you cheer up soon. xx Can't see any pics on your profile. Can see an album but it says private. x

Glad you are here Sunflowerlady! Enjoy every bit of your naughty week! Jillybeans I dont usually pre cook my food to freeze. Cook it fresh every night but will have to pre cook and freeze for when the kitchen gets installed. That being said, if it works out well, I might continue to do it for...

Ooh, that does sound delish. I love raw cauliflower!! Come to think of it I bloody love all food...probably the reason I have to do Cambridge in the first place...hahahaha:8855: Its another cold and rainy day here today. After having my banana shake hot yesterday, I've brought a choc mint one...

LOL...I had the shake hot. It was actually not bad. Quite nice. Bought one of those Cambridge mixer whizzy thingy's from my consultant yesterday and its quite small and quiet so I can bring it to work, (mixing my shakes in secret under my desk...hahaha!) worked a treat...no more lumpy...

Holy Moley Jillybeans....R750 per week! Ouch that is steep! I pay £40 (R520.00) per week and that includes 21 products, my weigh in and her guidance. Gosh, I dont blame you that you find it expensive! I would too. Today is cold and rainy here and I dont feel like my shake for lunch. Wish I...

:happy096: Jillybeans on reaching 93.9kg!! That brilliant, well done! It's such a nice feeling when clothes start fitting again! I bought a size 16 swimming costume and jeans this weekend and the swimming costume actually fits (though a bit snug) but nothing too tight! The jeans come on all the...

Hello ladies, Sorry not been online...bit of a Blue Monday! Very happy today...had my WI and -5lb down!! Yay! Just 3 more pounds to go till I reach my 3 stone mark....yay!! After last weeks disastrous weight loss, I'm very happy with this weeks loss! Jillybeans...the ice cream sounds devine...

Sunflowelady, I am sure your loss next week being on SS will make up for this week. Just stick to it, I know you can. you have done so well already. x

Good luck for your date Jillybeans! Do let us know how it went. Draw a line under the last two weeks' gains and eating and start afresh. Like you say, you can smell the 80's, you are that close! How about promising yourself a little reward or indulgence for being good from now on? I have 6 weeks...

Yay Jillibeans! You are back with us:). Sorry about your UTI, sounds aweful. Hope the pills sort it for you soon. Kids...urgh...you don't have to tell me about the attitude they can give. I have a 16 year old son....who might I add thinks he is 26 when it comes to what he should be allowed to...

At least it's a loss! Could have been worse. Onwards and downwards.... Have a good day! x

How was WI tonight Sunflowerlady? x

Lol Sunflowerlady...I have come to the conculsion that all scales are dilly and evil:p! Good luck for WI tonight. Jillybeans....are you OK? xx

Morning ladies. Thanks for the inspirational words Sunflowerlady. I dont know what my body is doing or thinking but just really hope I have a bigger loss this week. Strange thing is I can feel I'm losing weight but the scales didn't reflect it. My hubby and mom have been very supportive ( my mom...

Hello ladies! Hope you both had a good weekend. My weekend away was lovely and I stayed 100% on plan. Wow, Sunflowerlady...95kgs...that's bloomin fantastic!! Well done! Jillybeans...think I have said it before but I'll say it again....I take my hat off to single parents. You guys rock...

Couldn't agree more with Sunflowerlady, Jillybeans....byt vas - jy's amper daar! :)

Congrats Sunflowerlady on your loss this week. That's a great loss! Well done! Sorry your date was disappointing Jillybeans. There's always next time! Well, its bank holiday weekend here on Monday and my hubby has the day off tomorrow so we have decided to go away for the long weekend to my...

Hi Hannah, I lost 4lb at Monday's WI and very happy with that. Hoping for a 3lb loss this week. I get days like that where I am so hungry I can chew off my own arm...lol...but other days are more manageable again. I'm trying the Butterscotch shake today. Have not had it before...does that count...

Good to hear from you Sunflowerlady, was worried about you! Glad you are OK :). Congratulations on reaching a BMI of 35 - awesome:0clapper:! Good luck with your WI tonight. Today I have a tummy ache:(. Sorry if tmi but have not been regular lately and just feel like I need to go but can't. I...

You have been very quiet Sunflowerlady, hope you are OK?

Wow, you look amazing! Well done!

LOL at the Lindt Bunny Jillybeans! I cant want to have some milk again, do miss coffee. Don't like it without milk. I had my WI today and lost 4lb this week. Very happy:). Am going to do a bit of exercise on my WII fit tonight. Didn't do any last week. We are having a new kitchen fitted at the...

Wow Hannah!! 6lb loss is fantastic...and to lose 1.5 stone in 3 weeks is double wow!!:happy096: I know what you mean about feeding other people...I do the same with my hubby and kids. It's almost like therapy being able to cook these nice foods and serve it to the family...lol. I also love...

Fantastic Sunflowerlady...size 18 and 16 tops!! It's such a nice feeling when you fit into that next size down:). And double wow on walking 4.5 miles! That's some serious exercise. I went out with friends last night for dinner and had grilled chicken and a side salad with some balsamic vinegar...

Sorry, meant to say that its exciting stuff that you have a date. Is it someone you know or a blind date?

Well done Jillybeans! That's a fantastic loss!

Big hugs Sunflowerlady! We all struggle from time to time. No one is perfect. Just remember how far you have come in only 8 weeks already and just think of it, if 8 weeks ago you did not start the CD, you would not have lost 16kg!! 16kg is a huge amount of weight and even if you yourself can't...

Wow, that's a lot of water a day. I do 2.5 and the odd day of 3l (that's just water and not taking into account the extra water used to mix my products with). I know, if the obvious problems would change we'd be back in a heartbeat. I think most Saffas feel like that :sigh:. Someone in the...

Ooh...good luck for tomorrow's WI! Mine is on Monday morning. Yes, working today. Pity as is such a nice day outside :sigh:. Someone in the office has just gone and bought some pizzas for lunch. It smells devine, but it feels even better being able to say 'no thank you'...lol :).

Jillybeans, it was mostly the obvious that made us come here. The crime got too close to home and we made the move. I got a job offer here and decided to take it for 6 months to see if we liked it. Well 9 years later and we are still here....lol. The fact that my mom was already here made it a...

Hi Hannah, good luck with you meal tonight at your mum's! Stay strong and remember why you are doing CD. I like the banana bliss shake too. My favourite is the choc mint one....lush...just love it! I am 36 and am originally from South Africa! Though been here 9 years already. I am a happy bunny...

Hello, I had the rash about 2 weeks into the diet. I am in week 7 now and it's gone, but it was red, raised and itchy! I stopped Quorn mince and the spicy tomato soup. I have a sneaky suspicion that I am sensitive to something in Quorn as I tried it again last week and although I did not get a...

Wow! Massive congratulations Sunflowerlady!! That's a fantastic loss for this week and your total loss to date!! Well done:happy096:. Never mind about the blip last night, we are all human. Just draw a line under it and start over today! I am trying the Toffee and Walnut shake for lunch today...

Thanks. Water, well me and water (or shall I rather say, me and liquids!) were never friends! I still can't believe I'm having 2.5 litres of water a day! Though that being said, I can't have it without the water flavouring. I never drunk water before this diet. In fact, I used to be so bad that...

Hi Hannah! You are doing very well! I'm in week 7 and to be honest am still a bit stunned that I have stuck to it this long! I am doing SS+ (I cook for my family and not being to eat at all would be too much for me), though I do manage the odd SS day a week. I started out at 16.10 and am now at...

Wow, you look amazing!

Fantastic! Keep up the good work!

Wow, you are doing so well! A real inspiration!

Well done you! That is a great loss so far!

Sorry Jillybeans, meant to say that's it's not a large tin of chick peas but it's the little half tin. I'm not sure of the weight now, but it's defo not the big tin!

Twins! That's awesome :)! My boys have the same dad. We met when we were quite young....been together 21 years!:eek: I told hubby the other day that some prison sentences are shorter...lol :8855: Yeah, I know big age difference - 11 years. My eldest is turning 17 in a couple of months and my...

That is my fav flavour bar Sunflowerlady! I'm doing choc mint shake for lunch...lush...my fav flavour shake! Have you tried the mix a mousse yet? I've tried it once and although it was a bit lumpy (not sure I did it 100% right) it was very nice!

Well done Fifijoshie, you are doing really great! It took me a while to get used to the water intake as well but before you know it, it will just be part of everyday routine! Keep up the good work! :)

LOL at the contortionist bit:). Yes, 80g all the veg (but it's only really spring onions and spinach) that's the veg, the rest are spices and herbs. The chick peas count as your protein allowance. I'm not too sure on cooking in bulk, but would assume that if you tripled or quadrupled all the...

Good morning! Sunflowerlady...good luck for your WI tonight. For some reason I thought it was last night. Please let us know how you got on. Fantastic on fitting into your Penny C jeans...it's such a lovely feeling when clothes you couldn't wear before start fitting:). Jillybeans, I agree with...

Sorry, don't know. Haven't heard of Amway bars before and I don't buy the CD bars (was given a couple by my mom) but don't really have them. I know the nutritional facts of all the CD products are on their web-site, maybe if you go on there and compare the calories and ingredients you might get...

Oh gosh, get a little food scale, it makes all the difference in the world and I don't think they are expensive. I find the digital ones much better and the one I have is small and doesn't take much space. I only use fresh veg so I weigh that as it. But my meat I buy in bulk and then every...

Jillybeans...I'll take a pic when next I make the stir-fry again. As for veggies, I weigh mine on a little digital food scale, makes it so much easier. But as a rough guide I guess my 80g fits in the palm of my hand (I do have small hands though...lol). Bet you are going to enjoy your night out...

Good luck with your WI tonight Sunflowerlady and well done on the 700g loss Jillybeans, that's great :)! My mom got back from a 2 week trip to SA on the weekend and she had STS at our WI yesterday. Not even gained 1lb (she did not do the diet out there as did not want to take a chance taking the...

Congratulations on reaching the 90's Sunflowerlady!! That is fantastic!!:clap:. Well done, good luck for your WI tomorrow. Jillybeans, must have been an awesome feeling for people to finally start noticing your weight loss. I'm still waiting for that to happen but my consultant says that it's...

Sorry Sunflowerlady about all the food talk, sometimes forget that others are on SS only. Sorry again:wavey:! I agree with Jillybeans, I can't imagine weighing at night as my weight also fluctuates by 3-4lb from morning to evening. Jillybeans, hope your boy feels better soon. Nothing worse than...

Yes, use spray and cook. Although I pre-cooked my chicken a bit by boiling it and then when half way cooked, I then added it to the pan to stir-fry (a non-stick pan is essential with spray and cook) or else the chicken sticks to the pan. The trick is to keep the veg on the 'crispy' side and not...

Glad you found it, I quite like it, hope you do too. Mushrooms are allowed. I'm not sure on pea-snaps on step 2. I know they are not on SS+ but I don't know about step 2? LOL...I don't think so much that the spice (except the salt of course!) on the biltong is the problem but more the meat...

Hi Sunflowerlady, thought this might give you some inspiration :)

Hi, I had it in the beginning and sometimes still get it, but not as bad as before. I take Rennies. Doesn't knock me out of Ketosis and does the trick. TBH I get it much less now since being on CD than before. Before I had it nearly every other night! Hope it eases soon.

Stay strong ladies!! You can do it. Good luck with the temptations at the training day today Sunflowerlady! LOL at the biltong Jillybeans! We make our own and hubby was just saying last night he wants to do another batch....soon changed his mind when he saw the daggers in my...

Chinese cabbage = Pak Choi. Its yum! :)

I also don't like weighing my food, but I am used to it now and can actually roughly see what 80g of veg and 170g (on SS+) of chicken looks like. I am very lucky to have an excellent consultant. She is so supportive and is there for me every step of the way. Just draw a line under this week and...

Good luck for tonight's WI Sunflowerlady! Hopefully the scales will be in your favour tonight. I think our brains try to trick and sabotage our weight loss efforts sometimes! Even if the scales don't show a huge loss tonight, the weight is still coming off and a loss, no matter how small is...

Hi Aimee, Good luck with your journey! Well done on starting some exercises! Before you know it you will be able to post those 'after photos'. :)

Well done! What a difference a couple of stone can do :)

Hey Sunflowerlady, I think I read somewhere that doing too much exercise on SS can have a negative effect on weekly weight loss, but honestly I couldn't tell you what amount of exercise is considered too much? Perhaps your consultant could tell you? I know what you mean by the last 100 or 200g...

Hi Jemma, you are doing so well! I do SS+ and find it great. For me, it makes all the difference just to be able to eat something small. This is my 6th week and I am finding it much easier now. Good luck for the week ahead!

Well done Sunflowerlady! You are doing so well! Wow on the rounds at work, that's some impressive exercise. I have started to exercise (a little) on my WII fit. Started out at 10 mins a day and will work my way up. I had my WI today and -4lb down! Happy with that, just 3lb to go until my 2 stone...

I pull out a photo of me at Christmas time (horrible!!) and that mostly does the trick, but otherwise I come on here and read diaries and look at before and after pics. I also go to bed early if the urge gets too much or go and have a bubble bath to take my mind off it. This diet can be very...

I know what you mean. I can see myself going out to buy some smaller clothes soon. We have a clothing shop here called Primark, I suppose it's a lot like Mr. Price in SA and I will be shopping there for a while yet cause I cant bare to pay lots of money for clothing I wont be wearing for...

Well done, the difference is already visible!

That's great, it really makes a big difference! Good luck!

Wow, you look fantastic! Well done.

I am a serial weigher too! Weigh myself every morning and last week I had a couple of days where the scales did nothing...but then at WI I lost 3lb! I know sometimes that even though the scales don't move, we are still losing inches. My body shape is changing a lot. I am some how losing more...

I can not drink my water if it doesn't have the water flavouring in. I love the Summer Berry one. Would not have been able to do it otherwise.

My whoop is actually sticking to the plan 100% for more than 30 days! Yeah! Bring on the next 30 days.

Well done, that's a fantastic loss!

Well done, you are doing brilliantly!

Wow! You can clearly see a difference. Well done!

I live in South East England. I have broken down my goals into smaller mini goals. Have written a long list with mini goals which makes it much easier and every other week I am crossing off another mini goal reached. Makes me feel like I have achieved something each time I cross something off...

Well done! You look great!

WOW WOW WOW!!! You look like a different person! Amazing - well done!

It's so nice when people start noticing! Not many people have noticed my loss but I do wear baggy clothes most of the time. For now it suits me that no one at work has noticed. I know once they do it will be non stop of nosey questions and remarks. You are doing so well! :-)

Fantastic! Well done :-)

I agree, 5lb is fantastic! Well done!

Dankie Jillybeans :) Your losses are amazing - well done! I really envy people who can do SS all the time. I wish I had that much willpower, but SS+ just helps me feel like I am actually getting some solids in and I suppose mentally it just makes me feel like I am not totally deprived of food...lol.

I totally love the Choc Mint shake!! Out of everything that is my favourite :p

Well done, your losses are amazing and you are really inspiring! :-)

Hi Sunflowerlady, Another fellow South African here :-). Been reading your diary and you have done every so well! Really inspiring. This is day 31 for me and I still find it hard some times. I am also lucky enough to have a very understanding other half (think I would have given up the ghost a...
