Congrats :)

Doing great, ros! Just commenting to subscribe & wishing you luck :)

Thanks, lynne! Only just managed it, haha. :D Nights & weekends are going to be the hardest for me. I'm a natural night eater (always hated breakfast, etc), but this morning I'm glad that I didn't give in so that's something for me to think about. :)

Good luck, sylar! :)

Friday is takeaway night for me! Feels so weird. It's pretty hard. :( I actually blocked the takeaway websites on my laptop so that I can't get on them, lol. I think weekends are going to be really tough!

You're so right! Thank you :) x

Welcome, cacee. :)

Okay, not so good anymore. I can't stop thinking about eating real food. Chicken wings & burgers specifically. Sigh. I keep thinking to myself "Well I can eat them & then just get right back on the diet tomorrow!" but that's ridiculous. Compromising with myself & giving in to food is how I've...

Wow, what a difference! You're doing amazing! :D

Feeling good today! I overslept though (good thing I work from home... ;)) & I'm feeling productive. Got SO much work done, it's crazy. Still fighting with myself to stay off the scales though. Hurry up, Monday!

Good luck, V! :) Just reading your bit about the food costs - I literally spent £20 every night on takeaways for so long! I am amazed how much money I've saved just in my first week. I used to always panic about how my balance kept going so low... well, no wonder! My old 'takeaway money' will...

Nothing really to report today. My tummy feels very, very empty but I'm not terribly hungry or anything. I am finding it soooooo hard not to jump on the scales every day! Aaaah! :nono:

I'm only on Day 4 right now, I'm doing a mix of Slim & Save and Exante :) I feel surprisingly okay so far, just can't wait for my weigh in on monday :D

Amazing loss! Congrats :D :D :D

Good luck for your weigh-in! Subscribing & wishing you luck! :)

I've battled depression for pretty much all of my life. I'm glad you're going back to the Dr! As for the diet side of things, I think it's just completely up to you. I've done this diet before (quite a few years back) and I was on both antidepressants & anti anxiety medications at the time, it...

Such a fab loss, holly! :D

You're doing fab! Well done :)

I'm on Day 3 too. You're doing great! :)

Are you drinking enough water? I think it's definitely normal to get grumpy when you're not eating, I think after a few weeks it will be a lot better. :) BTW if you are VERY light headed for much longer then get your blood pressure checked, it might be dropping just too low and this diet might...

Popping in to wish you luck as well! :)

Hi, are you talking about intermittent fasting? Check out this board; loads of threads with all the info you need. :) JUDDD / Intermittent Fasting

AtkinsFTW just told you why. "In UK/EU dietary fibre is already deduced from total on label."

Mine's been okay thanks! Just a bit tired but if I'm sleeping then I have less time to think about eating! :p Can't wait to see what we lose on first weigh in :)

Yay! :D I'm not a fan of coffee unless it's iced but might put some into a chocolate shake and make a mocha type thing to mix things up a bit :)

Great first loss! Congrats :D

Hi, Claire! (And everyone else!) My goal is for Crimbo aswell, only on Day 3 at the moment though. :)

Hiya, jen! I'm on Day 3 right now! Joining in to wish you luck :) Headaches are definitely to be expected especially in the first few days & the first week. It will pass though, make sure you are drinking enough water steadily throughout the day (it really does make a huge difference to...

Good on you, missus3! On day 3 also, cheering you on. :)

Thank you! :) I think I might be in ketosis today.... My mouth tastes horrific! :yuk:

Today I resisted a sushi lunch (literally my most favorite food EVER!), after rejecting that my friend actually bought me a box of it & slipped it into my bag. Why do some people just not take 'no' for an answer? :p I was THIS CLOSE to eating it (it really is my favorite), but decided to give it...

Not feeling very hungry today. I had an upset stomach during the night but I do feel much better now. I'm usually a daily weigher (every single time I'm in the bathroom I'll weigh myself! :o) but for the purpose of getting into the swing of things I am going to try my absolute best not to step...

Hi & thanks! That's a great idea, any excuse to buy myself something is a good one, lol. I will think about little rewards for sure! :)

I just had it for dinner - I'm not a fan at all. :(

Hi & thanks! Wise words - you're totally right. I think once I get into a routine things will just fall into place a bit better and hopefully it'll become the norm. :)

Good luck to you too, and welcome back! :)

Okay, so I started off this diet in a great mood (3 weeks ago now, I think), I lost 7 pounds! Then.... Week 2 & I lost nothing, felt bloated, headaches. It felt like a delayed reaction to the low amount of carbs. Fueled by me not losing a single pound - I ate. I ate, ate, ate & then ate some...

So, I tried to made a shake 'mousse' this afternoon, I followed the instructions - did the blender & refrigerating. Seemed smooth and finely mixed in. Looked promising! 15m later..... LUMPS! Lumps everywhere! It wasn't anywhere near set, very.... runny. But still lumpy. Maybe a bit lumpier at...

I didn't lose anything this week & I haven't cheated at all. So disappointed. Not even going to count this as my second week, ignoring it completely. :(

Happy Monday everyone! My first weigh in: I lost 7 lbs! :D I *was* hoping for a cool loss like some people have on here, like 14lbs+, but this is good enough for me.... :)

I think if your sticks are dark purple then you aren't drinking enough water - how much are you managing to get in? More water will help with smells if you aren't drinking much! The trick for me for getting rid of any bad breath is brushing my tongue. I actually scrape it with a spoon(!) and it...

Salt really is the key, I have low blood pressure just sort of... permanently. :p It's kind of gross but eating some salt on its own does help a bit, or adding it to the savory packs. I use sea salt since it seems to have a milder flavor. Sometimes just taking some and putting it under your...

Sorry, cherry... :( Remember this feeling! Don't want to feel this bad again, do you? Try to take in this feeling as much as possible to deter yourself from doing it again. :) Were you mega hungry or just really craving that stuff? When I'm super hungry I have an extra pack or step up to a...

Guys, this thread is from 2007... :p Just so you don't stick around for an answer or anything! :D

It's not necessary to use their own coffee, I used Taylors of Harrogate (you can get this in supermarkets) and it was fab & it's good quality. I would stay away from instant stuff though.. :p

It's been surprisingly okay, thanks for asking! :) I'm quite hungry, peeing soooooo much, but I feel like I'm in the right frame of mind to just push onward. I had an extra soup for the first 2-3 days late at night when I would usually raid the fridge before bed, but it didn't seem to do any...

Good luck! We have similar goals, hope we can do it & look fab for Xmas :)

What about Atkins?

Just making this post in advance to get myself started, currently trying to get through my first week! I weigh every day (:o) but not officially of course. Roll on mondays! :cross:

Don't worry, chances are it's nothing. Sometimes things get contaminated (like the tubes, it's happened to me before and I had to re-do the test), or they've lost your info, etc. Relax, there's nothing left to do until Monday so stressing about it won't get you anywhere... :) x

(I love this thread so I'm just commenting to 'subscribe' to it! Looking forward to adding my own soon! :))

Hi & good for you for coming back! :)

That's ok, I was just worried for you. :) Good luck! x

I hate mine so much, but over time they do fade to silver. Moisturizing & exfoliating them does help the texture, losing weight stops them in their tracks from getting worse, but doesn't really make them any better unfortunately, that's all down to healing time.

Hi, pinky. So sorry to hear about your fertility problems. :( Please be careful - it's virtually impossible to lose 6 stones in 3 months & you're setting yourself up for failure. Why only three months? What diet are you going to follow? Why not 6? If you follow a VLCD you could lose that much...

Congrats! :D I hope I can lose as much as that in 4 weeks!

I think that if you go from drinking lots of calorie-filled drinks to just water then it's very possible to lose weight just from that because of the calorie cut, but it really depends on how many calories you're drinking, and how many calories you're eating in the first place, if for instance...

I would love the discipline/accountability, but not the chatter and support. Never been good at that stuff... :p

honk for day 1 :)

Hiya! I think Slimming World would be great for you, there is just so much variety, and going to the meetings keeps you on track & accountable for your weight. You'll never be depriving yourself & you can enjoy food with your partner while losing, just in a new and healthy way. :)

Hi, is it ok if I join in? Losing 100lb by Summer '14 would be my ultimate goal. I don't think I could do that by Xmas.... :( I got packs from different places a few months ago (like Slim and Save etc) but kept falling off the wagon because I didn't have anyone to hold me accountable for my...

P.S. I'm not going to weigh myself until the 1st of August. I don't want to know if I've gained due to this week or not! Just going to focus on staying on plan and not think about the weight - just need to get into the swing of things instead. Need to make this my new normal. :)

I am back..... :o I am so bad at this dieting malarkey. Have had sooooo many BBQs and parties this week, completely lost control and stuffed my face with food and wine! I'm ready to commit now, lol. Wish me luck!

I had a horrible, stressful day today.... I ate. :( It seems that my automatic reaction to stress is just eating. Lots. I don't want to continue with this - I want to lose weight. I'm not going to give in again, I want a loss on my weigh in day! Just have to keep thinking about Xmas......

Hi, good luck for your weigh in! :) Not a massive fan of the cheesy pasta either - turned into soup for me!

I will join too, sounds fun. :) Just started so hoping for a nice first weigh-in loss, so aiming slightly higher. MamaC. -10lbs (0lbs lost. 10lbs to go) Noodles1609 14lb (0lb lost - 14lb to go) Rach1001 - 12lbs (0lb lost - 12lbs to go) choufleur - 14lbs (0lb lost - 14lbs to go) 12st Xmas -...

I'm a sunday weigher but I've only just started. Looking forward to posting my results with you all. :)

Can I join in too? :crazy: I think I'm gonna be a sunday weigh-er.

I am soooooo hungry...... I decided today that for every month on this diet I will buy myself a little reward! :) Looking forward to new boots in august... :crazy:

Cheesy Pasta seems rich, but I think I put too much water in it..... It's more like cheese soup with pasta bits! :giggle: Dark Choc Truffa Bar is also very rich, can only eat a small bit at a time.

Veg soup is nice, sort of like a cuppa soup. Thai soup is a bit too hot for me, but still okay. Hazelnut shake is very malty, tastes like vanilla to me. Struggle to taste the hazelnut part at all.

Thank you both! :) Will go see about that ticker!

Very encouraging thread! I need to lose 6 aswell. :)

Hope I'm doing this right.... :o This is my diary for Slim and Save! I'm hoping to be on this until the end of this year. I'm counting tomorrow as my official start day. I am sooooo hungry already! :rolleyes: I'd like to lose 5 or 6 stones by then. It seems like soooooooo much and an...

Its great we have all this support, isn't it? :) Thank you, noodles! Congratulations on your loss so far :) v12345 I will need to start a diary too, I think :D Do we all have diaries?

Wow, good timing then ladies! :) Had a hazelnut shake for brekkie - just tastes like vanilla to me lol, wasn't very hungry this morning but figured I might aswell try. Juju: That must be hard.... 4 stone is 12 weeks is amazing though! You make a good point, I've had those same thoughts. Thank...

Hi! I am looking forward to getting started! As of today I am 18 stones exactly and I would like to lose 6 of those by Xmas or New Year. I feel like this is an insane goal, I can't imagine myself even a stone lighter by then! I feel SO fat right now, my tummy is so big. I look at myself in...
