I missed it. Not that I ever got to thin, I went from 20 to 14 stone, and didn't know quite what to do with myself when I got there, so the sabotage fairy kicked in and I'm back at 16 stone again. I miss having something to hide behind, which isn't anything I thought that I would feel.

Dream outfit... I wonder what that could be... any ideas?

Hi folks, I'm back. I fell off the diet about April and I've been messing around ever since putting on 2 whole stone. Started again today properly (I have said that sooo many times) and really have to make it work this time. I'm aiming to be thin by Christmas... so 70 more to go, and then...

Ooooh yes, that would be lovely. I live in Beaconsfield so only 6 minutes away.

Folks... as you may have guessed I'm being absolutely awful as a team person, so I'm going to retire gracefully and let you good people get on with loosing lbs with a full compliment of posting people. I'll pop in now and again to see how you all are and of course if you need me then just give...

Still here folks... My birthday yesterday so lots of frolics and wonderful things. Having a family bbq tonight, so going do the whole chicken salad affair, which I'm really looking forward to. How are you folks... All well and enjoying this gorgeous weather?

The boy thing is complicated, and not really going anywhere, however we are enjoying each other's company so good friends is ok too. I'm really needing to be in the land of K. I'm STARVING!

The wedding is the 19th of June, so still a while to make a dent in the flab. I'm wearing size 16 or 18 now, so its between one and 2 sizes I need to shrink. Thank you all for a lovely welcome back... and SIS... you won a star... YAY

I know... I'm back for good now. Promise. I just feel like a fraud posting when I'm being rubbish. Today I have a matinee and then going to my friend's wedding. VERY excited for them, and will be drinking water and not eating anything. I'm hoping to be back at 14 stone by next sunday which is...

Hey lovely ladies, How have you been... I feel so bad about posting because I am being a rubbish team leader and rubbish dieter, so don't reallly feel worthy of this thread. Anyways, I need to get back into dieting... this morning the scales said 14:7 which is terrifying me. I am really...

Hey folks, Still alive, just not doing well with the dieting and working really hard up to press night, so I've been hiding a bit. All looks good here though. lots of posts for me to read.

Hey folks, just checking in... I'm being rubbish at the moment, but the good news is I'm back in the pink, and trying hard. How are you guys?

Another new member... welcome welcome! I used to live in South Wales, seems that we are now taking over the world! Work is still crazy, but we tech'd the whole show in today, so hopefully by the time we open on thursday it will all be easy and I will have lots more time to play with you guys.

Hey hey folks, And welcome... I'm still manic at work, and have eaten rubbish, so back on track today. How were your easters?

4 dresses! Seriously woman, that is nuts! :D I've just bought 4 weeks of cd stuff, so expensive, but I'm just not going to get to see my cdc until after our show opens. The man I saw last night, and will see sometime soon hopefully... probably this weekend! can't get over 4 (FOUR!) dresses!

Same boy... who is lovely. had a movie moment with him but wussed out completely. Need a slap. :o)

Or atleast don't have their pc nicked whilst they are starting a new job... Seriously, how style cramping is that... Anway, aside from everything else I have boy news to update you with and lots of advice to ask... I seem to be romantically incompetent.

Team 8 is looking again, 1 more member because 1 of the team has got to target! Looking for someone lively with a sense of humour... if you fit the bill send me a pm or post on the team thread. We look forward to welcoming you!

Ok folks... 1 nice new member coming up!

This week's results... looking for one new member as SH is maintaining so well... Anyone know of anyone, or shall I advertise? Which means that you Jayne have won a star! Congratulations!

This is true, and thank you so much for holding the fort. I think we need some new shiny members... Who do we still have? Caz, Helen, Jayne, is Lisa still about? I think our sal has gone off to be thin elsewhere!

Hi Ladies, Sorry I've been absent again, work is just crazy at the moment, but hopefully when the show opens it will calm down and I'll be back to my happy posty self. Dietwise I have been rubbish, but ssing again, back in the pink today and will hopefully keep going down in the next week...

So Monday! I have stinking cold and will be going round to a mates with another stinking cold just after I've had my bath. Rock and roll. How are you guys?

Guess what?! I'm back! Hurrah hurrah, and thank you for all be fabulous while I have been otherwise engaged, I missed you all. Welcome Jayne! I've been rubbish diety, but back on track from Monday, and then taking over the world. Slowly getting my stuff back together, the insurance company...

Hi Ladies, I feel so bad when I see it's only you two nattering. I'm still laptop free, but hopefully the insurance will sort themselves out and magic me one soon, it is horrid not being able to do work and talk to friends. I don't like it at all. Just finished work for today, long days at...

Hey folks ~ Sorry I've not been around. I have to work every oppurtunity I get on a pc at the moment, which doesnae leave much time for posting. Sara, I'm SURE Caz didn't mean it that way, We completely understand and all the best hun. Slimming world is a fab way to loose the lbs. Happy...

Hi folks, just a quickie... My house was broken into and my laptop has gone, so I'm not online much, talk amongst yourselves and normal service will be resumed shortly!

Dear new job, I've never been so unprepared in all my life, so please go easy on me in the morning! Dear diet. A good week please. Dear Lovely lovely men I've spent the last two weeks with. I will miss the laughter, the sofa, the generosity and grace.

You'll still be fine - that's pretty much the sort of meals I have. Enjoy your day of pamperness, it sounds absolutely lovely. :D I start new show in the morning, still haven't got script. Never been so unprepared.

My thumb ring has just fallen off, and I can't find it anywhere. :(

Right... - well that worked well. Anyone know why bbcodes aren't working?

Right folks, as I've failed to get the coding to work we are going with a pretty picture instead! Congratulations SIS ~ Another star! SH ~ are you still with us? how's it going? Sara ~ No weigh in for you, you ok babe? And yes, I sts. It sucks!

I'm here, I'm here... Having a bit of a rollercoaster ~ start a new job on monday, and still waiting for script etc so seeing just how prepared I can be without it. In other news I've bought a size 16 jacket - very exciting, and knee high boots in evans go over my calves. (So I'm going to...

Hey folks Well this week I stayed the same, my own fault - although the cake was gooooooood! Last week 185.5 This week 185.5 Loss BIG FAT 0! Need brainwashing and kicking up the bum... Go for it ladies!

Ladies! How are you? Are you well? I've magicked funding, and had a lovely evening with man. Life is good. Diet back on track yesterday, no more biccies! Sis - wouldn't have had the biccies without the yummy men!

Goooooooooooooooooooooooddddd Mooooooooooooooooorrrrrrrrrnnniiiinggg Teammmm EEEEEEEEEEEEIIIIIIIAAAIAIAIGHGHGHHTGHT! How we all doing this glorius Monday morning? I had a REALLY bad diet day yesterday I was *Bullied* (Ahem) into eating cake for International Women's day, then in the evening...

Dear diet. Oh deary me today - tomorrow new start. Dear lovely men, You really are wonderful.

Just to point out... there is no citric acid in coke zero, loads in diet coke though... Still not 'officially sanctioned' though, worth bearing in mind.

Awwww - How sweet, look at the little eyes! I bet you are smitten, how's the settling in going? (OH MY GOODNESS, WE ARE ON PAGE 100!)

SlimInSpirit 190 to 186.5 - 3.5 (1.84%) Catssseyes 205.5 to 202 -3.5 (1.70%) LisaLashes 186 to 185 -1 (0.54%) Shadaca 188 to 185.5 -2.5 (1.33%) Saraian 226 to 222 - 4 (1.77%) Surfhunny 167 to 167 0 0.00% (AT...

This is a holding post - For some reason posted before I finished, so talk amongst yourselves!

I do too - there is a bit of hand holding, and touching as we walk past going on ~ just trying to avoid the friend zone, although he could be an amazing friend!

Right folks... SIS ~ don't worry hun, you aren't huge so the first week losses you see of 10lbs upwards are usually reserved for us bigger ladies - (I only did 8 in mine - and I was 18 and a half). Also if you cut down on carbs before you started your body will have got rid of it's stores...

Hey folks - just checking in - had mad day of interviews, went to try the dress on againa nd they didn't recognise me - only a size away now, so I'll get there. Got all kinds of boy things going on - so I'll not tell you yet, but want you to bounce with me in advance!

Hey folks, I had a lovely afternoon yesterday, one of my friends from panto came over unexpectedly (well - he told me twenty mins before) and we had a lovely afternoon just chatting, then bumped into more friends in the pub and stayed for tea, and then kept going - then back to theirs...

Quick tip for the sticks - cut them in half lengthways - and you have twice as many. PUPPY? someone said puppy! What kind - 9 I love puppiessss!

Morning ladies! Sis - have you peed on a stick yet?! (Us ladies here are a bit obsessed with weeing on sticks) in fact SH is the expert! Lisa - How you doing girl, not heard from you for a bit? Sara - Happy Sunday - Being a stay at home mum IS exciting, I'd love it. Helen - I'm still sooo...

If you are 100% you can't fail to loose weight - it would be impossible! You'll be fine, sometimes it just takes your body a while to catch up :D

Yay Angie! Hiya again, I must say the last photos that I saw of you were amazing, what a difference - I must share some of your mojo!

Oh that is lovely - so striking, I love the beadwork. You'll be a proper princess!

That my dears, is because we rock! Seriously though, we are all different ~ and you have to get your head round it aswell. Friends I haven't seen forever are shocked, and 5ish stone down I don't always feel any different.

SOoo chuffed for you hun!

Of course - you are going to the sunshine! You know what I'm going to say next don't you?! PICTURES, WE WANT PICTURES! It sounds stunning, you are going to be sooo pretty!

Wow, imagine sweating 15lbs worth a day! Makes sense now though, so I will always weigh myself in the morning! :D

I bet you are made up! Which designer is it? Mine is Alfred Angelo - so the sizes come up strange. I don't think it will be even close yet. :(

Oh my goodness Helen, that is brilliant, well done you! I want to try this bridesmaid dress on, to see how far off I am, but I don't want to go to the shop - it's FAR to embarrassing! (espesh as they didn't believe me that I could loose weight, I had to sign a disclaimer for the dress).

With me it took about 2 stone for me to notice the difference - 3 stone for other people to notice, and still they often don't. It depends on the person, also bear in mind that we see ourselves every day, so the change isn't obvious to us, however it is to the outside world, and the scales...

Sorry - that made it sound like 'at the moment' which I'm sure would come as a shock! Have a read, and yay for being 6 again!

Hi Slim in Spirit ~ Great name, I just tried to pm you but couldn't. You were fast! But yes, come and join the fun, all a little bit crazy round here, but keep posting, keep joining in, and welcome to the gang. Maybe post a little bit about yourself so we can get to know you. I'm Sharon...

Team 8 are looking for a fabulous bubbly witty new member - come have a look and if you like us post! First come first in! :D Edit ~ position filled. Thank you for your applications and I hope you all find lovely teams!

Right folks, as much as I love us 5 it's time to make us 6... Going to put a post on the advert thread and get us a new member. If you folks see anyone who would fit in give them a shout!

Thanks Isis, It's been a rough week, but we have bounced back. What you all doing this weekend my lovely ladies? I'm going to bury myself in piles of cvs and application letters - I really must find a job. One teaching post has come up I really want, but not sure I'm old enough for it -...

Dear application forms, You are endless - and don't actually apply to someone coming from a freelance background. How to do how to do?! Dear porridge, You would be SO much better with a blob of cream and a dollop of maple syrup.

Dear Dixie, You are such a sweet black and furry pussycat - and I'm glad you are helping me type, I don't think I could mangage without your purry supervision. Dear Tomorrow, Please bring me a nice new job. Dear Diet, Keep going keep going keep going.

Ladies! Here are our results... Catssseyes 212.5 to 205.5 -7 ~3.29% Lisa 191 to 186 -5 ~2.62% Shadaca 192.5 to 188 -4.5 ~2.34% Surfhunny 170 to 167 -3 ~1.76% Saraian 231 to...

If you folks go up to the 790 thread for recipe ideas there are loads!

Spices, herbs, curry powder all make life a little more interesting. Be aware of premixed seasonings though - like jerk, or bbq - they are loaded with sugary things. Use your common sense really, if it works for you do it, if it doesn't don't. (Also if a seasoning has stuff in it you wouldn't...

Carrots are quite high in carbs, as are most root veg.

The losses are about the same on SS+ (I'm on it) and I kind of do a mix between the 4 packs and milk, and the meals when I have to eat out. I get restaurants to do me a nice chicken salad, or chicken breast and broccoli. There is a list of what you can/can't have in the yellow book. So it's...

Do you have the shoes yet SH? My best friend has the most amazing pair of dorothy platforms - red glitter and they are stunning! If I didn't have freaky feet I'd borrow them. Evil feet.

Dear Slim in Spirit, You'll succeed - If I can do it anyone can! Good luck with your journey!

Dear Singing Competition, All that free wine - I'm meant to be on a diet don't you know! Dear Me, You are old enough to know better! Dear Brighton Girls I love you sooo much - And I miss you lots!

Wow - With the ears and everything! I can see you with a BIG bow! And with all the excitement (!) I've forgotten to post my proper weigh in... So - Last week 192.5 This week 188 Lost 4.5 lbs.

Hun I've sent a few feelers out to potential new members, hopefully one of them will join us shortly! I love you being cheerleader - that's fab! Get your pompoms out girls! Edit... Just to say - We know SH off the telly box! You are famous now girlie!

wow 7 lbs is amazing! Well done!

Darling - I think it is because you haven't quite got to the 50 post mark, when you do the mods will come along and wave their magic wand and you'll be pming and doing all kinds of exciting things. Facebook - search for sharon calcutt - black and white pic with curly hair :)

Ok guys, this is the line we are drawing under the Lil thing, she will be missed, but she isn't coming back, so let's stop talking about it and we will move on with the team. I'm sorry if I have offended anyone on the way, and I'd like to make it clear that I only want what is best for the site...

Lisa - add me on facebook. (that goes for everyone else who hasn't too!).

Me too - like I say, she is fighting it. :(

Oh hun, you'll just have to keep practising! Bit of a strange way to start the day, and there is no easy way to say it, so I'm going to just come out with it. Lil has been banned from the forum - we are fighting it, and she will of course be sorely missed. Basically she got banned a couple...

Dear Forum, I think we need a 'dear thread' here... it has worked so well on other forums I thought I'd try it here. (For those of you that aren't familiar watch and learn, you'll get the idea!) Dear diet, You aren't going to badly today - so far! Dear shrove tuesday, I won't get drawn in...

Morning ladies... Sara - that's great, is this going to be your green bump that you are trying for? Stick around for now and when we get to the end of the story we will decide. Well done girl! SH - that's still great! I'd love to loose 3lbs this week. I know what you mean about fustrating...

mmmmm - I'm really missing them too.

No chewing gum - It has in it an ingredient that is used to bring goats out of ketosis when they have had babies. It works the same on humans. Use breath strips or smints. Sprays too.

Thanks hun, for all the luck! I'll be needing the spreadsheet too! I've had a day of paperwork trying to find a new job - so far so good, although I've just come off the phone to someone who always has a job for me and he is looking too. freelancing sucks!

If it is what works for her - then yes she is right. This journey is about finding out about yourself, and what works for you. You have to find a way to make it work, and she sounds like she has done that. Doesn't mean we should all go out for pizza, doesn't mean we shouldn't. We are all...

Morning folks - how's everyone doing this week - I'm having a new start today, and so far so good, just tucking in to a tin of tuna and cucumber for lunch - fennel seeds are going to be my salvation! :D

wow - Doesn't it feel good to say that! Anyway ladies, I'm back from the chaos, poorer, colder, fatter - I've had a disasterous week, so I'm going to need you all to kick me in the bum this week. I've not weighed in this week because I think it will be scary, so going to leave it until the...

Nandos do me a lovely plain chicken salad - you just have to ask nicely.

Hi folks, Just sped read up and back... Lil, you aren't going anywhere, yes I'd love to be team leader, but stay. I'm still manic at work, but come sunday i'm all yours and will be proper team member. Sorry I haven't been around - must try harder!

Stayed up all night dancing then went to work now must sleep - just checkin in, will read back up when the show is open - won't be on much till then. sara - welcome home babe The rest of you - love you. tomorrow - ARGHGGH 2 techs 2 casts of 17 one creative team - I'm soo going to bed! mwah

Ladies, still got a vacancy on team 8... If you fancy coming by to have a look and like what you see say hello :) or PM me.

I really miss bacon, one of my friends sent me a link to a work page she wanted to see and did the bacon thing... I thought I was going bonkers, bacon deprivation! If you type "http://bacolicio.us/" into your browser, and then follow it with any other website (starting with http://) then that...

I'm going mad... Or am I Clicky Apparently you can do it to lots of websites.

Happy Sunday folks! I spent yest at my first rehearsal, we managed to fit in 2 runs of the first show, and one of the second. It's going to be good, but lots of work to do. My team are absolutely lovely, which is a huge relief, it is always a bit draining to have a weak link, but luckily...

Comic genius. Love it!

I'm in a similar position, All my lovely slimming jackets that made me look great are now tents on me. I did go to asda though, and they have a lovely tailored blue/grey jacket that I'm going to get next time I go there.

I'd quite like a CD pizza, a CD Jacket potato, a CD pasta etc. In all seriousness I'd like something solid and savoury.

Right then... Last week 197.5lbs This week 195lbs Lost 2.5lbs

Ah pants! I'm a day behind folks - I'll weigh in in the morning :o) Only cos I didn't wake up in my own bed this morning!!!! teehee Mwah till tomorrow!

AngieBum! Your back, I've missed your postings!!!! I'm finding that my thumb is getting thinner, and I can see the tendons in my neck. Still working on collar bones, Hips, tum, thighs - all still there!

I'm 28 and have been doing it since the summer - the main problem with it is the social aspect, but it's not forever! I think there are alot of 20 somethings round here... :)

More Snow! I love snow! Yesterday my day of madness and being important was a wash out, everything cancelled except the interview, which went ok, but I think I always sound silly in interviews. They also want to do a score reading test to see if I'm lying on my cv (which I'm not phased by, I...

Lighten up mat, meant in jest, however I do think that our team is the best, and stand by the point that Kelly makes. Enjoy the snow folks!

I just love the snow - and everyone who is being grumpy about it upsets me. I have to go into london later, I have an interview and press call and a dress rehearsal and a meeting, at the moment there are no trains, hoping it will sort itself out, except later there will be a blizzard...

Mat... I'm hurt you don't want to join my team! :wave_cry:

AGE:28 JOB: Stage Manager/lecturer HAIR COLOUR: Long brown curls EYE COLOUR: Green HEIGHT: 5'4" YOUR MOOD TODAY: Easy, like Sunday Morning. ANY TATTOO’S: Not yet ANY PIERCINGS: Ears YOUR BEST FEATURES: Probably hair, or smile. MARRIED/SEEING SOMEONE: Very single HOW DID YOU...

Team 8 is still looking for someone wonderful to join us... Come and join the most posted team on the boards... roll up roll up etc!

Hey folks, Sorry not posted, left you hanging a bit! I've been madness for the show, but it's all good, got so many freebies coming in for the cast they don't know what's hit them. I am craving marmite on toast, and I have put on 5lbs this morning - I think my scales are having a pmt day. I...

Thanks hun, How are you doing kitten? Your new no numbers thing working out for you? Huggs

Mmmmmmm - chocolate cake! This week's weigh in... Last week 202 This week 197.5 Lost 4.5lbs Very happy! I've also got involved with doing the Vagina Monologues in London, all moneys go to charity, (we don't get paid) so come and support if you are passing! There are also loads of Vday...

Team 8 is looking for another bubbly member to join the fun! We are obviously the best team, so come and join us! Go have a read of the thread, and if you like what you see then pm me! Can't wait to meet you!

Gemma - That's cool, but if you want to stay part of the team then without the weigh in part for the support then that is great, we know how important support is, so if you want to just drop by once in a while for a chat and a cup of tea. Don't vanish! SH - that's fab - and not disasterous at...

That really sucks! Hope you feel better soon hun! SH / LL hope you both have fabulous weigh ins tonight! I've spent the day with my best friend in primark buying random things and then going to the cinema. SO chuffed I can buy stuff that fits in primark!

Don't be - it isn't the end of the world. Promise. Worrying about maybes is pointless - Until you know, you just don't know. Stay positive - find something to obsess about to take your mind off it. What are the good things you'll get by worrying?

My mum had NHL - so I'm a bit of a bore on Lymphomas. At this stage I'd say worrying won't help or change the biopsy, so just enjoy yourself till then. Even if it is Lymphoma then it isn't the end of the world. I hope it isn't though, but really - just stay positive until the event - fretting...

Thanks hun, I shall try that and hope it doesn't break the bath! I used to have such strong arms when I was a muso, since I stopped playing they went saggy, and I guess the fat was padding them out nicely! Have a lovely time in York, yay for mothers! I'm sure she'll buy you something...

Lasagne!!!! I'd kill for a sniff!

See ~ that's the joy of Mojo! I'm thinking of doing the Steps one - I used to know some of the dances (I know - someone call the music police!) However I'd need to wait until everyone was out... I'm getting saggy bingo wings - What can I do to anti saggy them? It isn't pretty!

Hi Jane - I think we've got a full compliment of team members again now - but if we loose one again I'll send you a message! Good luck :o) (Love the name by the way - I'm often known as the purple hug monster!) Gemma - how you doing girl? not heard from you for a bit? Lil - hope england...

To lie in the bath - and only have my boobs float to the surface to make islands...

Hi folks! Well, we have new upstairs scales, and on carpet (the bathroom is carpetted) They weigh me about a stone less! (hurrah) So they are going to live in the kitchen on a proper floor - which means we still have the evil upstairs scales, and the downstairs scales and the new downstairs...

There are loads of recipes on the 790 thread - have a look :o)

I'm still amazed! I've ordered asize 16 bridesmaid dress - and I'm desperate to fit in it. Must try and hope that some of your skill rubs off on me! Thin by association!

Helen... That is an AMAZING loss for 2 weeks running! What's your secret?

Hi Helen Welcome! I've spent the day being bridezilla'd at -it's exhausting! Anyway - in other news I had a a good diet day, and will have tomorrow! Lil have a great time over here - and I'll be back soon! Still wearing the flats in - they are agony!

Team 8 are looking for a friendly lively member to make us up to 6 again. If you have a sense of humour and want to loose some serious weight (and give me advice on shoes!) then please drop by and have a look. Any Questions please PM me.

BIIIG BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Weigh in last week 204 this week 202 loss 2 I'm gutted cos I only remembered at lunch, by which time I'd drunk a ton of water - ah well! :)

Hello lovely people - the shoes are both from ebay - the heels are crocs - and the flats are Khussa shoes, and OH so SPARKLY! I went to see my cdc today - I've lost 4 and 3/4 lbs since last monday so I'm crossing everything for my weigh in tomorrow. I've also lost 23 and a half inches - which...

I've been wearing the heels all day - even in the bath to stretch them a bit. I think they will be fabulous for dancing in! The flat ones are a bit crunchy still, but working on it!

Yes - sitting in the bath! I don't know how I'll cope when all the padding has gone, and my elbows can't be leant on anymore - it's agony!

Headdown - thanks for telling us, good luck with WW, hope you do very well and rock the joint! I'll go and find the pics of the shoooooes! First of all these - Heels for dancing in. for when I'm really crippled and can't walk in the heels anymore. Working on getting them worn in so it...

For some reason this tickled me - two seemingly unrelated things! Well done for having the guts to eat with your friends - I made the same choice last night, It's not easy, and you have to make good choices, which it sounds like you did, but sometimes it is the right thing to do for you. I...

Hey folks - happy Monday! I wore black trousers and a purple top in the end - all good. Lot's of attention, even better - and a man that sells roses in leicester square gave me one beacause he thought I was beautiful! I have put on about 40000000000000 lbs though - but still in ketosis - so...

When's a car not a car? When it turns into a driveway! Happy Sunday folks! I'm off to straighten my hair before my company do. Still don't know what to wear. Sigh. Catchya latas XXX

How are we doing my wonderful team? I keep buying shoes online. I need a hobby.

It's possibly a reaction to the changing sodium levels in your blood, your body will get used to it, if you used to eat alot of salty things then your body will be protesting a little, but will thank you eventually. The best thing to do is stretch it out, stick your heel out, put your hands...

6 months ago I'd have answered differently. Which makes me think even more, despite the weather. At 18 and a half stone I would have loved to be BMI 41 - and have all the joy of healthy eating. At BMI 41 I would have had the healthy eating goodies and stayed fat. But now - I know that I...

This week I'm hoping to blast 200lbs. 4 lbs should be possible - got a company do on Sunday - so It's going to be interesting, however I've downloaded the menu and I can get them to chicken me. It's a tapas place, so lots of yummy yummy food just for nibbling! So tempting - but I'll be good.

And I've just updated my ticker - I have lost ten bmi points!

Lisa - if you need someone for dress making and adjustments then my best friend does it for a living - he's wardrobe at Sadlers Wells so knows his stuff! I've put the chocolate in the dining room so I'm not tempted - it was in the lounge on my sofa, so I couldn't stop thinking about it...

I thought you were meant to microwave it for longer - you must have a fab machine! I don't blitz mine because it comes out like rubber, I mix it and then microwave for 40 sec, let settle then the final 20 seconds. I love my porridge!

Well I've hidden the chocolate! And managed to talk the scary nasty lady at the shop into re-ordering the dress in the right colour, it will get here in may, and she will do the alterations for free. And it only cost me 2 days stress and £100. Also a producer, and once boss and good friend...

Cool! I'm West London, hopefully soon to be north london if I get myself sorted with a job and things.

It's the final count down... da na naaa naaaa, da na na na naaaaa! Got that song stuck in my head! How's your stick peeing going - are you pink yet? I'm still having Dressgate but haven't resorted to the bar of chocolate in the lounge yet. Saw somewhere perfect to move to last night, but...

Hi Gemma - welcome, and join the fun! Going to have some great scores this week! We now have a full house! Hurrah!

We still have time - but it's not going to be easy. At this stage I'm still trying to get the shop to order us a new one. Hi Lisa - this works by us all posting and looking after each other and then weighing in every week. We let our team leader do all the maths - Don't we lil! so you post...

*rant alert* As you all know I'm 'Maid of Honour' at Beth's wedding and we are just having a dress nightmare - and it isn't mine. The shop ordered her dress in Ivory not White, and won't take responsibility as they wrote down Ivory, so there is no record that she ever said white. All of...

Wow Lisa - that's fabulous, well done! and yes, come and join the fun! Hd, just pm'd you - you are doing so well! keep on trucking!

So went to cdc last night, back on track - and going to conquer the world this year. Also got more yummy flavours, it was getting very boring lately. How are we all today? :D

Headown... yes we have! Good luck with your weigh in tonight! My brother is starting today, and he has about the same to loose, so you are in good company! In the absence of anyone else on line... Welcome to the gang!

And a separate thread as we put all that behind us... In the news today I've finished panto, and back in the real world, but homeless and unemployed - which isn't great, but hopefully I'll sort something out this week. I've also lost my mojo, so right with you SH - keep kicking me! I still...

Wooooaaaaah! Lins - you are over reacting big time darling, Sh wasn't aiming it at you, she wouldn't, and having just come back into this situation reading it cold and unemotively I don't see it like that at all. We are all here for support, we all have the same goal. Don't be like that...

DD ~ it's Lovely to hear from you. How's the treatment going? I hope you are doing ok. We'll let you go - but you must stay and keep us posted on how you are my lovely.

Mauve rocks big time. I've also just been to new look and they have £5 jeans in the sale so I bought a 16 and a 14 - scary cheese. Atleast I know I've got something to wear! I may go back and get more - I didn't realise that they would be that cheap. I also bought a jumper from top shop...

This one - but mauve!

There was a sale and I was just walking past - I was just checking!

Last week 210 This week 207 Lost 3lbs I think I've nearly got my mojo back!

Ok, I've got a confession to make. Especially to you Lil. Today I went into Milletts. I bought a fleece. BUT it is a mauve one - and it is a girly one. And it is a size 18.

Kind of - I'm not getting hitched though, but I am cheif bridesmaid. I've got 50odd lbs to loose and I've ordered a dress in a size 16 - which I absolutely have to make. The pressure is on! The wedding is in June. Have a look online at frocks - the Alfred Angelo collection is stunning.

Lins that sounds horrid - are you ok? I hope your back gets better. Glad you are still here though - if you want to be my struggle buddy add me on msn (and everyone else that hasn't already for that matter!) [email protected]

Hey ladies - I love you still! Had the panto party last night, which was very messy - but great fun. Drunk wine and now I feel yucky. I also ate mini cheddars which is crap. Not weighed myself yet - but will tomorrow and I hope I've lost atleast something. I'm finding it SO hard to get back into.

Hey kids, just checking in - still stuck in neverland, still not in the land of K - but still trucking hard. lost 2lbs, so not too impressed with that. Need to buy trousers for an interview on Tuesday. Any ideas? I don't want to wear jeans, but also don't want to wear formal black trousers -...

Happy new year folks... If I may I'd like to start again this week - i'm back up to exactly 15 stone :o( So 210 lbs

Lil, get better soon me ole trout - it's no fun with you poorly sick. I'm definately up for the 20% thing by the dreaded valentines day. I need to bite the bullet and weigh myself, see how much damage I've done before I work out how much it is. Lots though I bet! I did proper restart...

Merry Christmas folks! hope you all had a lovely day! I'm actually surprised at myself for not stuffigmyself full of bread aand potatos - maybe I'm growing up! Anyway, I've got one more day of family, then back to soup and shakes forever! I will be thin, oh yes! Merry Christmas folks!

Well I've done it... ordered the bridesmaids dresses, and I've ordered me a size 16, so that's 3 - 4 dress sizes by June... Wish me luck!

Why on earth would you not want a man... men are great! Some of my best friends are men!

THAT'S AMAZING! Sorry folks I've been rubbish not posting, It's just madness here. I sts this week, makes me sad, but still... I've been rubbish at dieting too. I think if I can maintain over the next week back on the plan on Saturday when I start work again, and life will be all good...

Right then folks ~ those of you doing the secret santa should have had an email with your draw now, so the instructions are simple... Find something wonderful and random and fabulous or just plain funny, wrap it up, stick it in a jiffy bag and send it to whoever your lucky santee (it is a...

Congratulations girl! Please can you send me some Mojo?! I desperately need some today.

Lins - huggs - don't be silly. Lil, I lost one and a half lbs, to tired to do the maths, so I'll post properly and do my ticker tomorrow. 3 shows in a row is the most riduculous thing in the world. I'm knackered. XXX

Hi Folks, I've been terrible, so sorry - and I will continue to be rubbish until I'm allowed back out in public again. Panto really is knackering, but I loves you all. XXX

I swap mine in and out, My cdc is brilliant like that. Sometimes life gets in the way and I get a backlog.

Hey folks, Sorry I haven't been around either - I got kidnapped by panto to get them up and running, so I'll be doing that until they get on their feet. Peter Pan in Winsdor if any of you fancy a night out! Diet wise work really gets in the way, I've not perfected the art of sticking to it...

wow - I'd love to do that. Are there any hypnocdcs around? or can anyone reccomend me a good one?

Hey folks. Yes it's hard, but still I'll cope, it's not like I don't know what it's like to be gay, so I am here to support him, and be friends. DD - that is a great great plan! friends, house, and family all sorted. SH - SOO jealous, will you say hi to the forbidden broadway guys for me...

I'm coming off for a couple of days, I know I can get back into the diet easily so I decided that planning to come off will make me feel better when I eat, than trying to stay on plan and then cheating.

OK, so I'm not good at painting my nails. It's all gone horribly wrong and I seem to have painted everything else. Anyway - Happy weigh in day, so Last week 210 This week 206 Loss 4 AND OMG - JUST CHANGED MY TICKER AND I'M HALF WAY THERE!

I am a little bit gutted, but still, he is a lovely guy, and I'm so glad to have him back on side. I did get a wow from him which made mefeel fabulous. I am very dehydrated so I'll do my weigh in Once I've drunk something - at the moment it wont be accurate. I got quite drunk last night and...

I'm with you!

Just checking in... Still alive, had a lovely lovely time, he is gay now, so nothing more than friendship, but it was really really good to catch up. Huggles XXX

S&C ~ your back!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Lil, I'll be prancing round getting ready to go out later, so if you are online I'll cam you a bit of love. That goes for anyone else too, if you want to see add me to msn [email protected] and I'll be doing a fashion show at about 5ish.

Night night ladies - I guess I should be off to get my beauty sleep too now! Have a lovely day tomorrow, and I'll tell you how it all goes Mwahs all round XXX

Not crackers! It's nice to not be fat - even when you think you are. I'm FAR from thin so far, but my headspace is changing slowly but surely.

Yay! I spent 20 minutes not posting congratulations, as it was mean before you went public... SO CONGRATULATIONS!!!! - So you have to tell us all about your new job, photo looks excellent btw. My fattest story ~ one of our asms was sick last week so we had to send her home, meaning I had...

I really hope so! just webcammed outfits to an ex, and she nearly fell off her chair - I don't think i've changed that much but she can certainly tell the difference which is nice. I just hope we get wow factor tomorrow. I'm also a bit concerned that he knows me better than what I look like so...

Yep, he is bi, we both are.

She is wearing eggplant, so deep purple, it is a really nice colour, and slightly more subtle than the colour swatch leads you to believe. 'Date' (Inverted commas because I'm not sure that is what it is, I have a feeling he has a boyfriend now ~ but I still want the wow factor) is tomorrow...

RG ~ yes, he knows me better than I do most of the time. Even for instance when I was waiting for him to text back I thought that it would be a good idea to meet at the players, but was being patient, his text said 'afterwork at the players?' so that just says alot. It isn't somewhere we go...

I'm loving the brown one too - it mirrors beth's dress perfectly. He was my boss, then my friend, then kind of my lover then my friend that I would always love, then I walked out on him in may and havent spoken to him since, but realised I can't live without him in my world so texted him on...

Right, so ambled off to my cdc last night, not as bad as I thought that it would be, so all is good and I'm back on track today. I've just had my first mug of savoury drink, it's like drinking stock. I'm hanging out waiting for my friend to appear on loose women, So if you are online go and...

For some stupid reason my logic has gone wonky. I can't stop eating beacuse I have to go and be weighed. I don't understand and I can't seem to stop! :break_diet:Is not good.

wow - These advent calendars are really much better than I imagined! And yes ~ cheques ALWAYS count!

I'm sure you lot will be the first to know. I know I've lost some, but not really enough for a months worth of dieting, still - onwards and upwards.

YAY! I can imagine that it will be tough for you, and now we have removed the 'negative influence' (as he shall henceforth be known) then you and your family can have a wonderful time! Well all be here for you, you know that. :gen126: In other news I've moved my wiegh in to tonight...

We are doing a team secret santa, there is a link above where you can sign up ~ and then we all share the christmas fun! Go on go on go on go on go on go on go on.

YAY!!!!! We knew you would see sense! We don't care if you diet or not, we want you!!! Are you going to play secret santa?! :23:

It's christmas!!! So... what did you get in your calendar today?! It can be anything you like in the whole world! So today I got a Christmas Song!

I am going for 11 stone or 12-14. I don't want to be super skinny, or even thin, I just want to have a nice shape and preferably a 40s hourglass figure!

I was just going to add that ~ All folks who have been part of the team are very welcome! Christmas is all about sharing after all!

Right then folks! Now I'm back let's get down to basics! The next big thing is Christmas, (YAY!) and so I thought let's start the festivities early by playing Secret Santa! So if you want to join in come and sign up! Here's the sign up link...

That's cos I've been on tour! BUT NOW I@M BACK!!!! MUHAHAHA Anyway, back on the diet good and proper for me tomorrow. The upstairs scales are frightening me, And I really really want to be 14 stone for Christmas, then I'll be the same weight as I was for 6th form, meaning that the new year...

DONE! Knackered, but will post properly tomorrow. Just checking in. Cheer up lil, you ARE the team you twossock. I'll deal with you in the morning! :D

At the moment I'm loving toffee nut lattes a la starbucks! Cappucino and toffee and walnut mixed with an extra spoon of coffee hot in a HUGE mug. I have to eat two packs together sometimes or I can't get them all in. This does the trick!

Right - official weigh in time! Last week 212 This week 210 Lost 2lbs! Hurrah! and that puts me to exactly 15 stone, which is where I was on the mad lady scales in sheffield a few weeks ago. I can't wait to get off this tour and do the diet properly again. It is SO much harder than I...

It's quarter to two... I'm home, and now I shall sleep. I still have a MAJOR blockage, but hopefully will be gone by the morning! (TMI -sorry ladies!)

My official weigh in isn't till tomorrow - Thursday it has always been!:D

wow - you are all pooooorly sick! That's no fun, I hope you are all better soon. DD - welcome home and a swift recovery. Lil - sorry I vanished yesterday, I had a vomiting actor, so I spent most of yesterday in the hospital - not so cool for my last free day! RG ~ yay - you are just ahead...

Hmmm... I think I've lost a post! Lins, that sounds yucky - how did the doctor go?

That's brilliant lil, well done! Anybody have a life sized realistic crocodile hanging around?

No no... not offended at all... I'll maybe try and find one there, thanks! SH - smarties, were they yummy?! (living vicariously through you!)

Well done SH - you are going great guns! I'm here in bath, got really nice digs, alot better now the heating is on, got a microwave and a telly and I'm watching rubbish! I'm also trying to do Christmas shopping online, which is pants at the moment, lacking in inspiration. I also have been...

Hey hey lovely ladies - just a quickie to say hello, half way through the 'work to rule' marathon, and it's a bit of a nightmare - travelling to Bath today, after I have one of course, and then the fun will commence there later! Love huggs and union management! XXX

Hey hey wonderful loosers! Welcome Sian, you sound like you'll fit right in! Hurrah! Yasmine, I was so the same as you when I started - and now I am having a tough time aswell. Just take it one shake at a time - and you'll be in the land of K before you know it. We are all here for you...

The spanx full body magic thing has little straps that you can tie to your bra, just so it doesn't roll down.

To be 14 stone! To get a nice new job in the new year, I'm having an unemployed december too, so I feel for you! A box of belgian chocs from the avidlite people, and a new perfume for the new me. I'd also like a friend back that I have completely alienated this year. That would be the best...

Is it a real tree or a live in loft kind of tree... I think I'd still put it up before I went if it is real actually, then it will be lovely and christmassy when you get back. I love christmas!!!! put the treeeeeeee up now! :smiley522: my official weigh in... Last week 213 This week 212...

Hey hey!!! Welcome! It's late so I won't stay long, but yay for new team members!

Hey hunnny, Glad to see you are still about, stay here - it is all relevant to you, and we loves you anyways.

We have a couple of places on team 8 - so come by and have a look and see if you would like to join us. If you are smiley and happy and don't take life too seriously then we'd love to have you. :D

Wow - you really are stunning. You look great!:D I'm inspired by you so going to be good and eat powder from now on. XXXXXXXXXX

I'm back in the pink! Hurrah! Disasterous show last night, it was carry on Wilde really. SH - congrats on graduationing today, Hope you have a great one. You are SO close to your goal, you'll get there in no time! DD - I'm thinking of atkinsing to survive christmas, what is it like? Lil -...

Yay SH, congratulations on your graduation, what you going to wear?! I'm sure your Gran will be amazed, you look great! I'm determined to go for noteable weight loss for Christmas, my family notice nothing, so it would be nice to look a little bit different. Back on tour today after spending...

Well good on her if she can do it and still loose weight. Different bodies react differently, but if she has a snack everyday then chances are she isn't going in and out of Ketosis, rather not really getting into the zone properly. People who are not on diets go in and out of ketosis in the...

It really made me feel better, I sts this week, so that more than makes up for it!

Well I've just been on a plane flying back from Scotland... And the seatbelt did up! I was amazed and really chuffed!

Just to say, I'm on tour at the moment, and I know how hard it is sticking to the plan.

Hey folks, I'm home! only for a bit, but still its nice to see the cats and drink my own water! I'm back on track but not in K land yet. I've had a mini aeroplane seatbelt breakthru, so all is good today. It;s very quiet round here, you folks all ok?

Found scales... I stayed the same - which is good considering I had a mega 8lb loss last week, and I've been messing around this week. Still, I'm hoping I'm nearly back in the pink. Last week 213 this week 213 lost NOTHING!

I've just crawled home - 7:15. I'm just sayin hello and i've not found scales. I did find a casino though, and I made 4 pounds! Now I shall sleep. Love all round

Oh sweeeeetie, That is great about learning to drive, i havemany demons about it and hope to be brave enough one day! Sorry to see you go, you've only just joined us, but all the best kitten, and stay in touch, and I hope your green bump arrives! In other news... I'm still being rubbish...

I remember a thread that said chewing gum had an ingredient in it that was used to bring goats out of ketosis, however that could just be an urban myth! Kraft do a fat free dressing, as do arden farm(or grange, can't remember!) I make up a dressing using a bit of milk and some vinegar...

There are some wonderful smelly things in Lush this season, I love them, because they feel much more personal than marks and sparks smellies. Vouchers are always good, babysitting vouchers, night on the town vouchers, La Senza vouchers now she can fit into sexy underwear, Theatre tickets - or...

hey folks... Saraian that's great! you'll be a speedster in no time. SH I'm with you babe, I've just fallen off the wagon big style too... We do it together! Lil, how was your course thing? S&C - I know you cant get online, but i'm thinking bout you DD... woo and huggs!

But then so is wearing a bikini, and I'd like to do that too.

Wow, sounds like you have been through the mill a bit this week, fingers crossed for a speedy recovery and journey back to normal life. I'm getting back on track, apart from a bit of cheese earlier so far so good. The theatre up here is next to a deep fried everything shop which smells amazing...

That is fantastic! I can't wait!

Hey folks How you doing? Just got in fromt he get out at Sheffield, dreamt I was pregnant last night, and bought a size 18 top, and didn't go to millets and buy a fleece. It is a little break-thru... also I can wrap myself up in a towel and it is still decent! Hurrah. No more wobbles for me...

Don't go... If it is just cos you aint online so much then that doesn't matter. If there is a secret reason, like you hate us all then fair enough, but I loves you and want you to stay. :D

It was a bit of a disaster, but still, today was much better, I didn't even finish my bar. I don't have scales with me, but my land lady's scales have me at 15 stone 3lbs. So that is... Last week 221.5 This week 213 Loss 8.5 HOWEVER!, this is all to be taken with a pinch of salt, cos they...

** sits in corner all by herself **

Bad diet day... Including curry, a lion bar, a pork pie, diet coke, and a beef and stilton salad. Not to mention the twelve bottles of wine between us. It's three oclock and I must sleep. I am bad, and will try harder tomorrow. hope you are all ok? nobody posted atall since me this morning.

Well for mine, I go in, get weighed, have a natter, by my packs, and go home! I guess it is different for everyone.
