Hiya everyone, where do I start. I don't want to come on and make excuses bottom line is I didn't stick to plan at all last week. I'm starting again today. I've done it before i'm sure I can do it again. I'm feeling really depressed today, so bad that i've called in work sick. I feel so run...

Thats sounds promising then about Barclaycard. Well so far today i've had 1 shake 1 soup and nearly 4 litres of water. I've tried to keep myself busy as much as possible but i'm really hungry and exhausted X x x

Oh no Gem what a nightmare. Could you maybe try and get another credit card in just your name? or maybe try and increase your overdraft limits? What a nightmare for you (((((hugs)))))) Thanks for your support. I don't think I could do this on my own. Well its day 1 today and so far i've had 1...

Right really unsure on where to even begin. I did really well last year and got really close to target and then completely lost the plot. I was having problems with my heart (passing out and palpitations) so I stopped going to the gym and after several failed attempts at restarting I gave up and...

yet another restart today. Gosh I can get to about a day ad a half of ss then i eat grrrrr. Gonna stick at it though i really want this weight off. X x x

Right girls we really can do it! I have put on quite a lot i think whilst I have been messing around grrrr. I go away in less than 2 weeks and would like to ss until then and 810 whilst away at center parcs. I reckon if i stick at it i can lose 7lbs before then and fit more comfortably in my...

Wow well done everyone! Congratulations to you Gem on your fab loss too! Well today I have managed to ss for the first time since Christmas! I know its only 1 day but I feel a small sense of achievement lol. Thanks again for everyones support I couldn't do this without you all X x x

Jayne offering you ((((((((massive hugs))))))))))) sorry to hear your having such a bad time. I was doing ok yesterday until tea where i had salmon fishcakes and salad grrrrr. I'm struggling big time, but day one again today. I too am a binge eater. I think I even have a disorder which I have...

Right girls you have all given me so much inspiration that i'm back on day one today. I can do this. I have got some jeans on today that i got bens nan to take in for me they were a perfect fit and now they r tight grrrrr that has given me the motivation i needed. Thanks for the support girls X x x

Forgot to say my ticker is completely wrong. I'm around 10 stone now I want to lose atleast a stone grrrrrr. X x x

Wow well done Gem your all doing so well. I'm in a complete mess I can't stick at anything and i'm in serious danger of ending up back where I started. I'm so depresses with it all. X x x

I'm so annoyed with myself did 6 days 100% on sw then fell off the wagon majorly yesterday and just kept binging on all the wrong kinds of things for the whole day. I'm feeling quite depressed now. I lost over 6 stone on the cambridge diet with no problem but since coming off it i've managed to...

When I went away to Spain last September, I stuck to my shakes for brek and lunch and I had fish or chicken for my evening meal with either veg or salad. I didn't drink any alcohol just water and the odd coke zero. I managed to lose 2lb the week i was away and I still had a good time X x x

Gem i've totally lost the plot too. Grrrr I just can't do it anymore. I'm joining a slimming world class tomorrow so wish me look. I've been a bit poorly recently. Been having palpitations, dizziness and exhaustion. Well I callapsed for a second time yesterday so I finally went to the gp. He was...

I'm starting sw today, but my first class isn't until Wednesday so its going to be a bit of trial and error until then. I read somewhere that if you choose milk for your hex a then you get more syns? Is that right? X x x

Good luck for today Gem, we can do it! I've just had porridge for brek and it was actually quite nice. Need to go and clean the house now whilst my 3 year olds at play school. X x x

i'm having a nightmare girls. i just can't stick at anything. i just don't know what to do or where to turn. I'll be attempting another restart today. Wish me luck. I really need to get my head round losing these last lbs (more like a stone now) I have to decide if i'm going to carry on messing...

Well day 1 of the restart today. i've put on a few pounds which is my own fault. this week is going to be tough so i'll post on here often. Gem i'm so glad you have taken the decision to start again on thursday. i wish i had never gone on ww but i like you was craving food and i thought i could...

I did cambridge and lost 61/2 stone. Then I moved up the plans at Christmas, but I was getting hungry so I moved onto ww. Anyway ww really isn't working for me as I am living of junk and have no points left for proper nutritious food. I've had a few bad days eating wise and i'm really scared...

purple hugs you are doing fantastic yourself. Stick at it and you'll be at your goal before you know it. X x x

If I stick to it I can get 2lb a week but thats maximum now really. I think thats the most I could expect on any diet now, but on ww I was only getting 1lb some weeks i'd sts and I just wasn't eating healthily on it. Really hoping I can stick at 810 this time. X x x

Hi everyone I just thought i'd pop on and say hi. Well I'm back on 810 as of today. WW just wasn't working out for me tbh. The whole no foods a sin thing meant I was living off rubish with no points left for anything nutritious. i could see me slipping into my old ways so i've decided to do...

Well I started ss last August and successfully managed to lose over 6 stone. I moved up to 810 at Christmas time, but the hunger was getting to me so I made the move onto ww in Feb. WW isn't really working for me if i'm honest i've only managed to lose a few more lbs, my old eating habits were...

I point it as 2 put I add half milk and half water hth X x x

I sts this week. I can't really understand why though as last week i stuck to plan the best I have done and i did plenty of exercise too. I actually think that maybe I need to up my daily points allowance as I seem to lose when I eat more and when I did the points questionnaire I put myself down...

Hope everyone had a good weekend. Well I went out last night to Frankie and Bennys and I had pasta marinara (9 points) and 4 malibu and diet cokes. i actually only used 18.5 points for the whole day which is only half a point over for the day and I earned 5 ap yesterday at the gym too. Fingers...

If you like your sweeties like me then fruit pastelles are 2 points. Sherbet dib dabs are only 1 X x x

Well had an ok last couple of days. I went over On Wednesday but earned 5 ap in the gym so that should balance it out. Its the constant snacking during the day that does it for me. I really need to stay away from the kitchen. I've made up a sugar free jelly and I have strawberries in if i get...

Hi LRO, Well done on what you have achieved you've done amazing. Well i'm still nowhere near happy with my size tbh, but i don't even know if i'll be happy once another 10lbs are off. I think I might need to learn to be more accepting of myself. At the start of my weight loss journey I would...

Well another lb gone this week and i'm thanking my lucky stars as I went over my points by quite a lot on 2 days last week. choc should be banned lol. I think all of the exercise I did must have compensated. I'm so tired at the minute, but i'm going to try and keep busy today as if I just mope...

Well had a bad night last night and kept dipping into a box of maltesers so I went over my points. I've been to the gym this morning though and earned 5ap and been clering out my garden this afternoon. Only problem is I have been munching on minstrels since I got home from the gym as my dad came...

Thanks Jen Well nothing much to report really, i went to the gym yesterday morning and will go again Saturday morning. I made 5 ap yesterday and used 2 so i've got 3 left. My sister is up from Bournemouth so we are going out tonight, just to nandos and then bowlinmg so i'm going to have a look...

hiya girls, Well i still pop on here from time to time to see how your all getting on. Stick at it you will all reach your goals with the support of each other. Just look at how far you have come Gem, and how soul destroying it would be to go back. You look fantastic and just think if you...

Well weighed myself this morning and i've lost 1lb. I'm now 9 stone 7! This is my first lb down on ww after switching from cambridge and i'm made up. I'm going to set myself a target of 2lbs for next week. Whats everyones bodyfat percentage like? Mine is still 28% which I think is still quite...

Hope you've all had a nice weekend. Well I took the carbonara sauce out of the fridge last night to find it was past its used by date so dp went out for kebabs instead. Still not bad at 9 points for a lamb donna in pitta with salad. I had a crunchie too though as a treat so I went over my points...

Good morning, Well I stuck to 16 points yesterday, and spent 90mins in the gym so I'm hoping i've burned off the choc from the night before. Going to try and stick to 16 points again today and going to the gym again tomorrow. Maybe I can earn myself a little Saturday night treat. Got my 3 yo...

Well I had a bad day yesterday, I went over my points as I had a few mini bags of milky bar buttons that i'd got in as a treat for my dd, but i'm off to the gym tonight and i'll stick to 16 points today so i'll be back on track points wise come tonight. What I just can't get my head round is why...

Good morning everyone. Just wondering if anybody could tell me how to change the title of my thread? I've noticed there are already a few Jens on here so I am going to change my title to something else to stop any confusion. Well nothing much planned for me today just housework and looking...

Sorry not been on for a couple of days but I don't get much chance on Monday and Tuesdays because of work. Well I weighed Monday morning and i'm still the same 9 stone 8. Which I suppose is a good result after moving over from cd. I'm hoping for 1lb a week from here on in. Do you think this is...

Wow Susan, thats amazing! It must really hit home how far you have come looking at that X x x

Hi everyone, and welcome to my diary. Well I've been following Cambridge since 4th August last year and i've lost over 6 1/2 stone. I worked up the plans to 810 since Christmas, but my body has been crying out for more calories and desperate not to throw in the towel and undo all of my hardwork...

Frances I'll join your 8 weeks to get to goal challenge. I need a kick up the bum tbh too. I'm not expecting a loss this week as I have been taking loads of cold and flu remedies and strepsils etc so i'll be lucky to sts. I'm getting really fed up, but I know with one final push I can reach my...

Thanks Frances, well i'm on the mend today, but i've taken loads of strepsils and other remedies over the past few days so I doubt i'll see much of a loss if any this week. I've not been to the gym at all since Saturday either, so if i'm better tomorrow i'll go and again on saturday to try and...

Is it too late to join? I would love to have shifted my last stubborn 11lbs by Easter. I know it may not sound like much, but I'm on 810 now and the losses are very slow so this could be the ideal thing to keep me motivated X x x

I have had to take 2 strepsils so far already today as I have an ear and throat infection and paracetamol just wasn't working. Whats the damage likely to be? I'm on 810 now. I'm not prepared to be in pain for the cause so to speak as I have 2 young dd's to look after, a job to hold down and a...

Wow well done Gem 4lb! Thats a brilliant loss. That will boost our team totals for sure this week. Well done on losing 2lbs on 1000 plan Jayne it seems to be really working for you. Gosh you have got a couple of hectic weeks ahead. Taryn the exercise slowed down my weight loss at first, but it...

I reckon you'll lose at least 1lb Gem if not more, you always stick to the plan 100% so even if it doesn't show on the scales this week it will do next. I think I just need to put things into perspective I've lost over 6 stone in less than 6 months, which is an achievement and if it takes me a...

I started 4th August, but I know theres people who have been on much longer than me. I have a stone to shift now. This last stone is proving the hardest ever. X x x

Sorry i've not been on much this week guys i've been so busy now i'm back at work. I never stop. My 8 month old dd has a stomach bug too so thats keeping me busy washing sheets and clothes full of vomit lol. I'm so tired today I have endometriosis and my doctor insisted I have a depo injection...

Wow well done Frances 4lbs is a brilliant loss. You must be made up. X x x

We all have every faith in you Jayne. You know where we are if you need to let off steam. Whats done is done you just need to look forward to your new slim future. Think how lovely it will be in Summer to be wearing those skimpy summer outfits. Just focus on each day. Tbh I still take this diet...

Sorry gem, thought i posted on monday that i lost 1 lb. Hoping for more this monday X x x

I'm 5 foot 4 and 10 stone 1. I am a 12 now unless its a top that has buttons in which case I go for a 14. I'm aiming for nice 10/12 all over. I was top heavy but I'm evening out now to being more of an hour glass shape X x x

Jayne, you've stuck to ss successfully before so I know you can do it again. I know what you mean about it being the days when your out of your routine that you struggle the most. i'm the same. If I'm not busy its when the cravings start. Frances thats fab getting into a size 12 well done you! I...

Wow Gem you look amazing! Your waist is tiny, You really don't look anything like a size 18. Well done on the 3lbs lost this week too thats fab X x x

Hiya Frances, i don't blame you for not wanting to step on the scales last night. I can be upto 4lbs heavier after the 4 lts of water and packs. i'm sure the scales will start moving again next week for you. I hope next weeks the week for me too as i have plateued recently too. on a positive...

Awwwh Jayne, please don't be too hard on yourself, everyone falls off the wagon its the way in which we get back on that matters. Forget today, put it behind you and refocus. You can get straight back onto ss tomorrow and i'm sure that this blip will have little impact on your loss this week...

Well done on your 3lbs loss this week Jan, and well done on only having 7lbs left to go until you reach goal, only a matter of weeks to go for you now before you move onto maintenance. I've only lost 1lb again this week grrrr. Any idea what i'm doing wrong? I'm on 810 but i stick ridigly to the...

Welcome to the team littlemissspendthrift. Its nice to have a full team again. Thank-u for taking over as team leader Gem, sounds like you have been busy with work, I'll get those figurers sent to u asap. I went for my gym induction today. It was fine although the girl just literally showed me...

Hiya Jayne, I'm about. I've not been on much for a few days though because it was my little girls birthday yesterday, Sunday we did her party then Monday I went in work for a few hours. Trying to break myself in gently before I go back for real on 19th. I'm going in for a couple of hours...

Hiya everyone, Well done Jayne on getting back into ss it can't have been easy after all of the set backs you had with your health. As for the exercise thing I really struggled whilst on ss but I was better if I had a shake an hour b4 doing exercise. Now i'm on 810 I try to do it after my meal...

Awwwh Hayley, I will miss you. Thank you so much for all of your support since I joined the violets you have been an inspiration. Make sure you keep in touch, it will be great to hear how you are getting on. I'm glad you have made the right decision for you though. In some ways I envy you being...

Happy New year Everyone! Lovely to see you back Jan. I had a lovely Christmas, but like Gem says its over too quickily. Well done on the size 12 btw, its a great feeling isn't it X x x

Wow Gem6lbs is fantastic. Over Christmas too well done thats amazing. Hayley i'll try to get some Christmas pics up when I get a chance. Thanks for that info about bf percentages. I might look into those polar heart monitors, but unfortunately all of my walking is done at my toddlers pace. I...

Hiya Gem, Glad you had a good Christmas, I know what you mean about it being blink and you miss it. I feel the same. All that preperation for one day. Wow 7lbs thats fab it might be even more by Monday. I've moved onto 810 and as you predicted it seems to have kick started my matabolism I'm...

Hi everyone well 3lbs down for me this week. I'm pleased but was hoping to get my bmi under 25 for Christmas. Only 1lb to go so will probably weigh myself on Christmas morning to see if i've done it lol. I'll stick to the team challege too with you Frances. I'm moving uo to 810 today plus i'm...

Good luck with your new job tomorrow Gem. Do you have to work Christmas day then? I feel for you if you do I think Jayne mentioned that she had to work it too. Hope everyone has a lovely Christmas whatever they are doing X x x

Hayley I know how you feel this time of year is crazy isn't it. I hope you get a rest over Christmas and that yours and the boys colds clear up. Jayne sorry to hear you are still poorly. Hopefully the 1000 plan should work for you over Christmas by giving you all the nutrients you need then when...

Good luck at the doctors Jayne, you have a fab attitude, like you say you can't go wrong on ss even if your not in ketosis. So glad most of the clothes fit Gem although it won't be long before they are hanging off you. Looks like we are all getting our hair done today. I'm getting mine cut and...

Glad the clothes got to you in one peice Gem. I hope theres something of some use amongst them X x x

Well done Gem on the size 16 dress, thats a great achievement. i bet you'll look fab on christmas day. not so great about the half dead poinsettia, but at least your out of there. I'm so hungry at the minute i'm glad i'm moving up to 810 on monday. X x x

Awwwh Jayne I really feel for you, but its due to curcumstances out of your control. Unfortunately we can't control being ill, and getting yourself better had to be your number one priority. Take it easy over the next few days and you'll slip back into ketosis and the pounds will drop off. It...

OMG Gem thats awful. Roll on Friday when your out of there. I really hope you enjoy your new job. I'm sure you will. I posted those clothes yesterday btw sorry about it taking so long you should get them by the end of the week, if they are no good then just give them to your local charity shop...

Thanks Hayley, You are doing fab yourself. I'll keep my fingers crossed that you'll lose the 3lbs by Christmas, but I'm sure you will. Well done into being an official size 14 too thats great. I'm setting myself a goal of 3.5 lbs next week which would have my bmi at under 25 for Christmas. Its...

Welcome Jayne, I hope everyone had a good weekend. I lost 3.5 lbs this week which means I have reached my 3 stone off for Christmas too. Its hard to believe less than 3 months ago I was 3 stone heavier than I am now. X x x

Wow Gem thats fantastic! I'm so pleased for you, and well done on being the first one to hit the 3 stone off for Christmas mark. I need to lose 3lbs on Monday to hit my target, but I have a feeling its only going to be 2 this week. Well done on getting back on ss Jayne. In so scared of coming...

Awwh Gem, nobody should be made to feel like that at work. Everyday must be such an ordeal for you. I used to be a retail manager and I worked with 20 odd other women so I know where your coming from with that one. It was horific. I stuck it out for 5 years, mostly for money reasons, but i can...

Glad to hear your feeling better Jayne. Gem are you a teacher at the minute? Why do you want to leave if you don't mind me asking? Will be fab for you to work with your other half though. X x x

810 sounds like a good plan for Christmas week Gem. I'm moving up to 810 on 22nd December, but i'm acually having a small Christmas dinner. No pudding or alcohol just the actual meal. I hope it doesn't do too much damage and that I manage to sts Christmas week. Frances I'm glad your work has...

Thank-you for your words of support Hayely. I just don't look slim yet, and i don't know why lol. You look half the size of me Hayley. I just think it must be to do with my height and my big chest. I think i might finally start to feel good about myself when i slip on some nice size 12 clothes...

4lbs down this week i'm now 10 stone 12! So why don't I feel it? I've heard it takes a while for your brain to catch up with your body which is hopefully all it is. I'm going to change my goal to 9 stone 5 though as I feel this is where I will be happy. Better go and make a new tracker. X x x

Well done smurf! And well done Gem on dropping a dress size. You can't beat the feeling of getting into a size smaller. I'll post my weigh in results tomorrow. I was hoping for a 4lb drop this week, but we'll have to see. I've done everything by the book as usual so fingers crossed. I've been...

Gem theres a huge difference! You look fab. Your all so brave posting pics I can't bring myself to do it yet. X x x

I know how you feel about people not knowing how to react to you. We did a bonfire party back in November and a lot of people hadn't seen me since I lost some weight only 2 people mentioned it which I was a bit gutted about yet 3 people commented on how nice my hair looked. I thought it was...

Just wanted to post on here too Hayley as you really do look stunning in that pic. Your so slim now! Wow thats all I can say X x x

How did you get on with the swimming Hayley? I could really do with joining a gym, but its next to impossible with 2 babies and a dp who works shifts, so i have to make do with my exercise dvds for now. Awwwh Gem your pets are lovely, my little girl is nagging me for a pet, but i'm a bit...

OMG Hayley I've just had a look at your pics, you look stunning. You are tall and willowy you honestly don't look like you need to lose another lb. Oh I wish I was tall. I look every one of my 11 stone and 2 lbs. In fact I look bigger. My problem is my boobs. They are massive which makes me look...

Hiya hun. My af's have been all over the place since I started this diet 17 weeks ago. I was 10 days late at one stage, so in my opinion cd does have an impact on your cycle although it shouldn't impact the effectiveness of your pill. X x x

Wow thats amazing. No wonder you feel on top of the world, you deserve to after all the hard work you have put in. Its the best feeling to wear a dress size smaller. I bet your pics will be gorgeous. Frances I really hope some of your attitude rubs off on me. Your a real inspiration, you don't...

You look stunning, i love the hair it really suits you X x x

Awwwh ((((hugs)))) Gem must be awful for you. Its one of the reasons I don't have any pets. Its so upsetting when they pass away. Hope your ok X x x

Good luck on the 1000 plan Hayley. It will be lovely to have more choice. Its Jeans that I'm having a problem with too. I've got some boot cut jeans that are a low waist from dorothy Perkins in a size 14 and they are fine, but the higher waisted skinny jeans I have from Primark are still tight...

I'm 5 foot 4 Frances so not tall which might be why i'm struggling. I can't remember what I weighed the last time I was a size 12 because it was so long ago, but I think it was around 10 stone 7 so still a way to go before i'm that. Thanks for the tip about M&S I'll have a try in their next time...

Wow well done everyone! That pic looks lovely Gem. Are you settling into your new place yet? You'll have to put up some pics so we can have a look. I'm quite nervous about weighing in tomorrow as its totm and my scales haven't moved much. I've stuck to plan though so I'm sure it will show next...

Hiya hun I think tandoori chicken and salad would probably be your best option. I'm sure somebody will correct me if i'm wrong. Enjoy your night out X x x

Thanks everyone. Gem you have done fab I've had a peek at your pics, you look fantastic, such a difference. I will post some pics once I reach my goal. i don't feel brave enough yet lol. I need to start incorporating some more exercise. At the minute I just do fitness dvd's at home. I really...

i'm 5 foot 4 and 11 stone 4 at the minute. So hopefully it won't be long before i'm the magic size 12. i'm hoping i might squeeze into some at 10 stone 10. fingers crossed. thanks for your replies X x x

I'd be thrilled to accept. Thank you for having me in your team. I weigh in Mondays, but its totm at the moment so I'm not hopeful of a big loss this week. I've got a mini goal of getting into a size 12 by Christmas, but i don't know if this is achievable as I can't remember what I weighed the...

Hello everyone are you still looking for a new team member? I've been following cambridge for 16 weeks now. I SS, but have done 2 aam weeks. So far i've managed to lose 68lbs. I really want to lose more though, but i'm finding it a struggle now the losses have slowed down. I try and pop on...

I'm currently dreaming of being a size 12, and I know everyone is different but what bmi are you when a size 12? I just want a rough idea really. I'm so hoping to be there by Christmas X x x

So gald to hear you got your referral hun. I hope my doctor is as supportive when I go in the new year. X x x

I'll hopefully be moving upto 810 Christmas week. I've already decided that I'm going to have a Christmas dinner though. Just as a one off i'm not going to stuff myself all over the festive period. I've been ss since the beginning of August with just 1 week of aam so far X x x

Hiya hun, I lost 2 stone in my first 6 weeks. by bmi was close to 39 when i started. i even managed to incorporate an add a meal week into those first 6 weeks whilst i was on holiday in spain and my mums wedding too so its possible to see a big difference in 6 weeks X x x

Well done angie you look amazing X x x

Sorry I've not updated in a while but i've lost another 10lbs now which has me at 12.03 I have 1 st 8 to go X x x

Dunno exactly but arpound 81/2-9stone and a nice size 10 at 5 foot 4. I'm aiming for anything under 10 right now. X x x

You've done fab so far Nicci don't be too hard on yourself. Good luck with your weigh in tonight. X x x

Hey Nicci, Try not to get disheartened you'll just have an even bigger loss next week. You've done fab so far. X x x

I was a comfy 18 at 14 stone. I'm 5 foot 4 also. I have big boobs and big hips though so you may be a smaller size than i was. I'm around 12 and a half stone now and a comfy 16 but some 14's do fit me too. X x x

Wow Susan thats amazing! Happy Birthday for Saturday, Its my birthday on Saturday too! I'm going to weigh on Sat morning as i'm hoping that i'll no longer be in the obese range by then. That will be a nice birthday pressie. But 5 stone off what a fantastic present to yourself X x x

I had a lot of loose skin on my stomach after having my 2 girls by ceasarian with just a 2 year gap. Now i'm losing the weight though i'm finding my overhand is improving rather than getting worse. The tops of my arms need a bit of work, and my boobs haven't shrunk much yet so I can't comment on...

I started at on 4th August. 10 weeks in i'd lost 3 stone 3. I'm just over half way to my target now. I'm hoping to have reached my goal by the new year. Good luck with your journey. X x x

I'm not really a lover of the soups, but i'm missing something savory. I've heard a few mentions of bouillion on here, I was just wondering where people buy it from, how often they have it and if it affects your losses? X x x

Its definately achievable hun. I've lost 3 stone 3lbs in 10 weeks so go for it. X x x

What dress size are you now Nicci? Just curious if your in a 14 yet or nearly there. I'm a 16 at the min. X x x

Third time lucky?

Nope dunno what i'm doing wrong lol. X x x

Thanks For that Beverley I think its worked. X x x

Hiya Nicci, Yeah it will be fab to keep in touch, we can spur each other on with our losses. My start weight was 16.02 and I keep changing the goal posts for my goal weight, but at the minute its 10 stone. X x x

I've been following the diet for 10 weeks now so I think its about time I set up a ticker. I've been on ticker factory and designed one, but I don't know how to make it appear at the bottom of my posts. Can anybody help me please? You can probably guess I'm rubbish at this technical stuff lol X x x

Well done on your loss! 8lbs is fantastic. I was 12 st 13 at my Monday weigh in, but I only weigh every 2 weeks. When i'm 12 st 7 though my BMI will be 30 so we must be the same height. 5 foot 4? I lose on average 8lbs over a 2 weeks period and you have done that in 1 which is fab! X x x

I've been on the diet for 10 weeks now following ss, and i've managed to lose 3 stone. When people see me though instead of congratulating me or offering support they get great pleasure out of telling me i'm going to put it all back on when i come off the diet. I'm finding it really frustrating...

I weigh every 2 weeks and i've lost 10lbs over the past 2 weeks. I'm now 12.13. I have 2.4 left to lose before christmas X x x

thanks for all your help. i'm 5 foot 4 and my bmi is 32.5 at the min so i reckon i'll be a 16 by bmi 30 at the most as my 18's are already getting loose. X x x

I know this varies from person to person but I just want a rough Idea of how much more weight i'll need off to be a size 16. My 18's are getting a bit loose now. X x x

Am I too late to join? I weighed on Tuesday at 13.09 And i'd love to be 3 stone laighter for Christmas. I started on 5th August at 16.02 so i've lost 2 1/2 stone so far. My overall target is 10 stone, but 10.09 for Christmas would be the lightest i've been in years. X x x

Just wondering if anybody out there who has hit target and successfully maintaining their weight could tell me what they eat on an average day? I'm still 3 stone away myself but i'd like to know what kinds of things you eat and if you allow yourself treats occasionally and the odd meal out? X x x

I live in Manchester. In Flixton near the Trafford Centre for anybody who knows that area. I've always lived in and around Manchester. Would love to live in the Maldives! X x x

Good luck. After your first weigh in there will be no looking back for you. It becomes routine after a while. There are lots of friendly people on this forum who will keep you going. Let us know how you get on. X x x www.TickerFactory.com/weight-loss/wPNlmK8

I don't post on here often i'm more of just a lurker, but i'm so excited today that I had to share. 2 stone off in 6 weeks!And thats including a weeks hols in Menorca and my Mums wedding. Still got 4 stone to go, but i'm starting to feel like i'm getting somewhere. Started at a size 20 and now a...

Hiya hun I'm 5 foot 4 and started out at 16 stone i'm now 14 stone 9. I'm on week 4. I'd be happy to be your twin. I want to get down to 10 stone 7. I'm rubbish at setting up trackers and stuff though so you'll have to help me. X x x

I've still got it. I live in manchester, but i'd be happy to post. If anybody is interested then my e-mail is [email protected] X x x

Hiya again yes its from Cambridge diet in the USA. I am based in the Uk though so I can post to uk. I'm going the diet alone (with all of your support ofcourse) X x x

I've got an unopened tub of french vanilla shake which has 21 portions in it. I really don't like the flavour after openinmg my first tub. I'm open to offers if anybody would like it? X x x

Well done on completing your second week. Another 3lbs down is great. X x x

Fab start. Well done you. X x x

Before this diet I was rubbish at drinking enough fluids. Like others have said you will get into a routine. I put 2 2l bottles of water in the fridge in the evening and its my aim to get through these the following day. i don't drink an hour before going out or a couple of hours before bed. I'm...

good luck x x x

i'm into my second week too hun and i had a wobble yesterday. i was really down, i think half of it with me was that i'm annoyed with myself for ever getting this big, and i know its nobody elses fault but my own. you've done the hard bit now hun, you did really well resisting those sausages. i...

i hope you enjoy the wedding. you've done so well in the past 7 weeks that i'm sure you'll remain focused. its my mums wedding on 7th september and i'm still undecided on what to do about eating. let us know how you get on x x x

I'm really poorly today I can't keep a thing down not even water. I've only had one shake and that came straight back up. Is this going to really damage my weight loss this week? X x x

I'm into my second week on ss and my period is 2 days late. Do you think this could be due to the diet? X xx

Hi I Just thought i'd intorduce myself i'm on day 5 and finding the diet o.k so far i've not cheated which I'm pleased about although I know its early days. I've got a few questions which i'm hoping you will be able to help me out with. So far I've only been drinking 3-4 litres of water a day...
