Hi guys, I started out last summer at 23 stone and am currently 17 stone, still got a way to go but I am really worried about excess skin. I already have a lot and know it will only get worse. Has anyone any experience in this? How can u help it ???? :-(

Good luck girls, I know I'm 5 stone down now and so proud of myself but still 7 to go, a lot of perseverance and patience is required, lol

Hi, well done on ur loss :-) I had 12 stone to lose, 6 months in and I am 5 stone down so 7 to go :-) xx

10lbs off, despite Christmas :-D

Well in the past 2 weeks, despite all the temptations of Christmas I have lost 10lbs, so that's me almost at a 5 stone loss :-) almost half way there , I can do this :-) xxx

In the past 2 weeks, despite Christmas, I have lost 10lbs, which brings me to almost a 5 stone loss, almost halfway :-) xxx

Another 4 lb off, hopefully never to see ever again :-)

Hi, I am wanting someone to chat with to, I am 25 and from Carlisle, just down the road from you :-) I started in August at 22.8 and am currently 18.12 so still a long way to go. What diet are u following? Xx

It is, already done it, very yummy :-) x

That's amazing, well done, I have 11.4 to lose altogether so quite similar, I am hoping to be at target for next Christmas so 18 months altogether, not too fast

Just wondering , how much weight have u lost? Xx

Didn't think they did, I have been going swimming 4 times a week and to the gym twice a week. I have heard that palmers coco butter can help tighten skin so should maybe give that a go :-/

Hi guys, I am 5ft 9 and started out in august at 22 stone 8 , I am currently 19 stone 1 , I am already seeing loose skin, my stomach looks awful just now, is there anything I can do to help with this? Also anyone who has lost a lot of weight , did u get help from NHS with surgery? I am 25 ...

Walking is a great start, why not try aqua aerobics , fab way to tone up and also very gentle on your joints if your not use to it :-) x

Took me about 6 weeks to pluck up the courage to join the gym, also hadn't been swimming in years because I was to embarrassed but tbh no one has ever looked at me any differently or said anything thankfully. Go to the gym when it is quiet , mine is during the week at lunch time which works best...

Have lost 7lbs in the past 2 weeks :-)

I felt that way for years up until 4 months ago, not sure what changed in me. I started in August with 11 stone to lose :-0 and am currently down 3 stone 1lb so only another 7 stone 13 to go, lol. I am calorie counting myself rather than using ww or sw as I didn't get very far with them, trust...

3lb off, my bmi is now under 40 for the first time in quite a few years :-D

Your right it is, but with some much weight to lose ( I started with 11 stone to lose ) I think it just felt like it was going to take years to be we're I want to be. Anyway, 3 stone 1lb down just now so 7 stone 12lb more and I'm there, lol

Aww thank you, apart from on the scales I am not seeing a difference in the way I look, getting a bit impatient but I'm sure it will come :-) How are you getting on? Xx

4lb loss this week :-D

And another 3lb brings me to exactly 20 stone, can't wait to be under the 20 mark, had to buy new work trousers today as mine are falling off, lol

Hahaha same :-)

I know can't wait, must admit though I am dreaming of fitting into a size 10 one day, think I might be wanting a bit to much there though, lol

Noticing more this week but still just the top half, can't wait to shop in "normal" shops :-D

Another 3 lb down this week :-)

Thank you :-)

Does anyone have any good homemade bread recipes , preferably with 60 or less calories, seen a few recipe on the internet but was wondering if someone had a tried and tested one :-)

You done really well for only having the soup. My favourite at the Chinese is Cantonese pork which is a big no no , boo :-(

Well done on getting through it :-)

Thank you :-)

3lb off this week puts me down to 20 st 6lbs

Thanks :-)

Swimming is going fab, at least 3 days a week and the other 3 I go to the gym with Saturdays off :-)

But it's the getting off track I can't do , if I have say 3 days of eating whatever I want , 3 will turn into 4 and 5 etc , I also I'm really bad at portion control :-( would rather look for some healthier options , obviously going to be a few calories more than usual but hopefully not to much :-)

Thank you :-) definitely cheered me up :-)

I know exactly how you feel, I have lost 2 stone and have another 9 to loose. I'm 25 and also have almost an addiction to food but I'm not going to let it control me anymore, I don't think anyone thinks I'm serious as the amount of diets I have been on and given up is ridiculous but definitely...

I have noticed the past week my blouse for work is a good bit looser, seems to be coming off top of my stomach first I think

I feel exactly the same, I have lost 2 stone so far, 9 stone to go but struggle with cravings so much, I am sat here at 1am crying because I'm sure these r going to overwhelm me and I'm going to screw everything up again :-( I've never lost this much weight before and I would be so angry with...

A massive 5lb down this week, that's 1lb off a 2 stone loss in 9 weeks :-)

Thanks :-)

Hi guys , I was diagnosed about 7 years ago when I was 18. I am having a problem with hair , I tend to get a lot of ingrown hairs, can just see them under the skin on my breasts :-/ I have always hated them but the past 2 months or so u have started picking them out using tweezers and this is...

Hi guys, I do late shifts at work 5/6 days a week and don't get home until 11pm, I have a late lunch and wait until this time for dinner but by the time I get in a just can't be bothered and it is usually a low calorie microwave meal or an omelette. Does anyone have any really quick low calorie...

I use the one in boots once a week which is great, also gives you a printout, I'm keeping all mine so I can look back on them when I'm at goal :-) they also calculate bmi and body fat etc

Another 3lb gone this week, and never to return, lol

Thanks for the replies guys, feeling a bit better today :-) lost 3lbs this week so down to 21 stone , can't wait to be out of the 20s lol

Thx for your reply, I don't have any pics but really like that idea so have just gone and taken some :-) I started the gym and swimming last week and so far so good just thought with two stone now gone my jeans might have fit a bit better but still tight :-(

:( im 7 weeks into my diet and have lost nearly 2 stone , i haven't noticed any difference yet in how my clothes fit or how i look, i still have another 8 stone to lose but just feel right now like its a waste of time :confused: How long did it take you guys to notice any difference???? please help

Very good way to look at it :-)

Lost 3lbs this week so 1 st 5lbs so far :-)

Well done, blips are ok as long as you jump straight back on :-) good luck for Wednesday :-) xx

How are you getting on this week ?

Well done your doing great

Thank you :-)

Hahaha, saving on the calories is definitely a bonus :-)

I have just signed up for a premium gym membership, means i can use 3 different leisure centers, bit nervous as not been swimming for about 5 years and NEVER been in a gym :-( going shopping for gym clothes and swimming costume today

Your probably right, just looking for an increase in there sales

I'm not sure as I don't follow sw, google it?

Thank you :-)

Hmmm, don't know if I would have enough time to raise a good amount if money, maybe I will try for next year :-)

That's what I thought, I shall be on the lookout :-)

Going to have to look at some recipes for low fat, tasty alternatives because I will also take a long time to get back on track if I take days off :-/ maybe we should share some good recipes :-)

Haha, as u guys can see i gave up then, lol. BUT started up on 20/08/13 and have lost 1stone 2lbs so far :-)

I LOVE this thread, so inspirational. I cant wait to put my pics up one day :-)

wow, u look amazing, i started 4 weeks ago at 22 stone 8lbs and am currently 21 stone 6lbs and feeling very determined. Can i ask, when did u start to notice changes in you clothes sizes as yet i haven't noticed to much, not sure how long that will take, but u have done amazing , well done :-)

well i dont like Christmas pudding so i suppose that's a plus :p thanks for the tips guys. x

Oh right ok, lol

I have been looking into these and they have very mixed reviews. Apparently Dawn French lost 2 stone in 2 months with them and raved on about how good they are but like you said it's a lot of money to spend on something that MIGHT work, don't think I will be buying any.

I am worrying about Christmas already, how do u stick to a low calorie diet during this time??? Our house is always full of food and sweets. Are there any ideas for low cal Christmas dinners etc and still taste good, the food is what I most look forward to at Christmas usually :-(

I am also looking to lose 3 stone by Christmas, started at 22.8 four weeks ago and am currently at 21.6 so another 1 stone 11lb to lose by Christmas

What is this?

Shall have a look :-)

Well done on ur weight loss so far :-)

What is Wemits

Thanks for replies :-) I have tried Cambridge before but I must have been allergic to something in the shakes as I would be sick after each one so only lasted 3 days. I have tried weight watchers loads of times and never really worked. I am at the moment allowing myself 1300 calories a day

I have bought a swimming costume and a separate swim skirt and it doesn't look to bad

I didn't know that, that's amazing :-0

Just calorie counting myself, going to start the gym at the weekend so hopefully that will help, just made me a bit disheartened as I still have 9 stone 12lbs to lose, feels like such a long way off. which diet are you following ?

Only 2lb lost this week, feeling a bit disappointed but know its better than nothing

Bit disappointed , only 2lbs off this week :-/

Thank you :-)

Have set my first goal today, to lose 3 stone by 20th Of December, have lost one of these already so 2 to go , I think this is a realistic weight loss for just over 3 months although I know weight loss will slow down soon

That's very good to here, I have always been overweight as well , started 4 weeks ago at 22.8 and now 21.8. Also joining the gym next weekend which I am looking forward to but a bit nervous as well, more scared that people will stare at me :-/

Thank you guys :-) I am definitely feeling a lot more determined than I ever have in the past

Will have to try those 2, probably cheaper as can get them in supermarket

Weighed in today, have lost 5lbs this week . That is exactly 1 stone in 3 weeks :-)

Good luck , I feel exactly the same, I need to lose another 10 stone so a lot of work, but lost 1 stone in first 3 weeks :-) keep at it :-) x

That's a good idea, will keep a look out :-)

Yeah, had a look and there are a few nice ones to choose from :-)

Can imagine, I have just lost first stone, probably the easiest :-)

Well usually weigh in on a Monday but have weighed today, another 4lb off, that means one more pound and I have lost 1 stone in 3 weeks :-D one down ten to go, I am so determined to do this :-)

That's fab, well done to both of you :-) xx

Had thought of swimming , use to go all the time but as I've got bigger I haven't been for over 6 years, I am looking on the Internet for a swimming costume that covers to of legs , lol. Thanks for the kind words :-)

Hi, I had them with tomato sauce and peppers and mushrooms and was nice, not as good as pasta and u need something to give them extra taste but for 7 calories per pack there fab , I'm definitely buying more :-)

Thank you :-)

Thx guys, and well done on ur weight loss :-) can i ask, how long did it take u both? X

Hi guys, I'm 25 and currently weigh 21st 13lbs and I am wanting to start some kind of exercise other than walking, I get quite a lot of hip pain and also have osteoarthritis in my left ankle due to an injury so I don't know what to start with :-/ would really appreciate any ideas

Yeah I wasn't sure about 1300, might put it up to 1500 for now

That's an amazing amount of weight to lose, we'll done. How long did it take you?

Well yeah I suppose, but stops me from weighing I'm everyday, if they were at home I would :-)

Hi, I'm Monday and also in my third week, I've got 11 stone to lose. I lost 5lb in first week, 4lb in 2nd week and weigh in again on Monday. Good luck :-)

I go into boots once a week for 50p, that gives you bmi, body fat etc very accurate

Hi, I was diagnosed about 4 years ago, at the moment I have maybe 3 periods a year and they are extremely painful, I take paracetamol and codeine along with ibuprofen, also really helps me to curl up with a hot water bottle on my lower back.

There good :-) as long as u add sauce and veg as they taste quite plain but surprised by how filling :-) and there only 8 calories per pack :-)

Thanks guys, doing well so far I think , hopefully in 18 months or so I will be a changed person :-)

A friend of mine done it for a month, don't know how she managed that long, didn't work for her. I couldn't do it , I am obsessed with washing my hair everyday :-)health food shops sell natural shampoos , maybe worth a go

Has anyone tried zero noodles, just got some from holland and barratt

Thanks guys, I am just doing it myself and sticking to 1300 calories per day which I think is about right, tried ww before but not keen on it. I am recording everything , good and bad , on my fitness pal app which is really helping me.
