3lbs off this week. I'm pleased with that because I had a couple of big slips but managed to pull it back. Only 4.5lbs to go in the 200's. I'm very excited as that was always my first major goal. I can see now that it definitely won't be my end point though. I think I probably still need to lose...

I never microwave them. I rinse them under warm water for a minute then fry them in a wok for 4 mins. I do use a little oil and then spices and meat/veg.

No the rice is dodgy but I've had the noodles 4 days running and I honestly love them. I've been using the frozen Thai herb mix from waitrose with a little light soy sauce, a handful of bean sprouts, some spring onion and then 100g of protein. Squid and scallops tonight - Yum yum yum :)

Things are going well this week. Have managed to stay 100% so far and weight seems to be coming off. Not sure I'll quite make valentines target but I shouldn't be far off. Still on the slim noodles, they have been a life saver. Not loving the slim rice so much.

That's brilliant.... Yes because water has loads of nutrients too.... Someone really didn't think that through did they lol.

OK I'm going on holiday on the 19th so going to make it a low one this month... 8lbs takes me just under 200lbs so fingers crossed I see the hundreds this month... Clairecat 15lbs (0lbs lost) 15lbs to go Clinquant 14lbs (3.5lbs lost) 10.5lbs to go Kayroo 12lbs (0lbs lost) 12lbs to go Mhara...

Hey Hun, hope you are doing ok x how's the kettle bells going?

They are cheaper on Amazon. £6.25 for 5 packs.

I rinsed them for 2 mins then stir fried them with some chilli, garlic and szechuan pepper corns and a little soy sauce. They fried up just like normal noodles. Don't know what they'd be like boiled or microwaved but I'd expect they are quite bland.

I bought some Slim Noodles, rice and pasta from Amazon. Just had the noodles with some mushrooms and lean beef in a stir fry. They are brilliant. Tasted just like rice noodles and were really filling. 0 g of carbs and only 14cals in a 200g pack. Would defo recommend!!!

Good luck Hun, I hope it goes well. Main thing is to get yourself healthy before an op. Make sure you increase your calories before because your body will need them in order to heal properly.

Hmmmm just tried the crisps. Why do they have the after taste of pork scratchings?

Honk :)

4lbs in week 3 isn't bad at all. It usually slows down around week 3.

7lbs off this week. All the Christmas weight gone :) Very pleased. Now on to lose some new weight...

Honk :)

Today was good, no longer hungry at all. In fact I got to 12 without having a pack - whoops! Definitely gone off the meal packs though so think I'll be sticking to shakes, bars and chicken soup from now on. Thinking about getting some of the crisps but I think they'll be too tempting.

Managed to stay on plan despite the bad mood. Feeling more positive today. I think the combo of pmt and not quite being in ketosis yet just made me a nightmare to be around yesterday. Roll on day 3.

Honk

In a really bad mood today. Not helped by just having to listen to my 52kg colleague complain about how hard it is to lose weight. I actually wanted to punch her. Trying to stay strong but feeling the urge to splurge. Need to get out of this post Xmas funk.

Day one back on plan went ok. I had some cold pork and roasted squash instead of my last pack cos I was climbing the walls. Lost 3lbs already in one day- whoop!!!

Honk for yesterday!

Ok week one I gained half a pound. Considering how bad I was it could have been much worse. I'm back at work and back on the wagon today. No more messing around, 4 weeks until holiday .

I've been bad - very bad. My head just wasn't in the right place whilst ill to be starting this. Starting to feel a bit better so will try again at the weekend u think. Silly thing is one day on plan and I lost 4lbs I just didn't stick with it.

Honk for day 1 - phew!!!

OK time to restart. I gained 8lbs in December, I'm hoping I can shift all of that in my first week. So I'm restarting the year on 97.8kg or 15st 5lbs. My first goal is to get to under 90kg in time for my holiday in Feb. We are looking at going to The Dominican Republic on the 12th Feb and it...

Good on you for getting back on track straight after new year. I'm delaying until Monday when I'm back in the office so I'm away from the temptation of food for the first three days. Feels like a bit of a cop out but I'm out fri and sat night so I figure why make it hard on myself.

I'm with you on the restart on jan 2nd. Not done too much damage I think but will be good to get it back under control.

Good plan, I've gained my usual 6lbs already but hopefully as you say a week on plan in jan and it will all be gone.

On the negative side Jaeger bombs On the plus side I have danced my ass off I'm hoping the maths will end in my favour lol

Not got back on plan this week and I have Christmas parties Friday and Saturday so not going to get back on plan till Sunday now. At the moment just hoping to get through dec without a gain.

Yes but I've only had two packs and some cold pork. I'll get there I jut didn't really feel like having anything today.

Epic failure last night. I ordered Pizza. Feeling a bit rubbish at the mo and it was totally comfort eating. Not had anything today yet either. Need to get my butt in gear.

Well back on the shakes 100% today. So far a mint-choc and a chicken noodle soup and 1.5 litres of water. So far so good. I have a xmas meal on sat and a party the following fri/sat so I don't suppose I'll lose much this month but every little helps. I'd like to get below 200lbs by Jan which is...

That's a huge difference. Well done :)

If that's not an incentive I don't know what is!

1.5lbs this week. MamaC- 56lbs (10lbs lost, 46lbs to go) Porche04- 49 ( 15 lbs lost, 34 to go) Sallycinnamon- 84 lbs (16 lbs lost, 68 lbs to go) Autumnbabe -35 lbs (35.5lb lost),0lbs to go) I HAVE REACHED MY MINI GOAL.!!! Debsxdiet- 84 lbs( 31lbs lost, 53lbs to go) TrueBlueAngel 7lbs off (7lbs...

Meh 1.5lbs off this week so missed my target by a pound. Still 13lbs in a month is not to be sniffed at. Well done everyone on your losses. I'm going back on S&S 100% for a couple of weeks before a break for Christmas. Lyndzi76 (7lb lost, 5lb to go) Dolly Rocker (3lb lost, 9lb to go)...

You can do it Hun just think of all the new skinny clothes :)

Tell me about it. My husband still dives a lot. 100m + too, not very happy about it but he loves it so can't do anything about it. I do miss the exercise and the social side but luckily as I'm club secretary they couldn't get rid of me that easily so I still get most the social side.

Sounds like a good plan. I think giving yourself a cut off point is a great idea.

Yep. I haven't dived since getting pregnant with my little one though.

Fairly easy but the weightloss isn't quite as consistent but at least it's going down. Party is with my dive club. A really good bunch, I think we'll be dancing the night away.

Soooooo cold. I don't know if it's because I have a lot less insulation or because of the lack of carbs but I can not get warm. Weight is starting to come off again now. I am missing the simplicity of the shakes but all in all it's going well. Christmas party no 1 on Friday and I can't wait.

0.5lbs this week but I've been tweeking diet so it's expected. MamaC- 56lbs (10lbs lost, 46lbs to go) Porche04- 49 ( 15 lbs lost, 34 to go) Sallycinnamon- 84 lbs (16 lbs lost, 68 lbs to go) Autumnbabe -35 lbs (35.5lb lost),0lbs to go) I HAVE REACHED MY MINI GOAL.!!! Debsxdiet- 84 lbs( 31lbs...

I've been Atkinsing for about a week now and I am a little worried, my weight has been slowly creeping up just 100g here and there. I had a good loss on the one night I danced for 6 hours straight but other than that nothing. Has anyone had any experience of this? I haven't had the usual gain I...

I need to up my water again too. It helps so much but it just gets boring. Much better at it on my days in the office, I just forget when I'm at home. You'll do it, we both will x

You are doing great, I think if I was in your shoes I'd be comfort eating. So to still have a loss is great.

Well I wasn't having a great loss this week and then went to a fantastic wedding reception last night and literally danced my arse off... 3lbs!!!! I had been STS all week until last night. So the moral of this story is to dance like no ones watching far more often. I had loads of great...

Well done AutumnBabe that's fantastic!!! It's nice to see someone reach target, it gives me hope that it's possible.

Good luck Hun I hope they sort you out x

Mmmmmm Atkins now that's another option I'd not thought of.

Ok so I've cheated slightly and put my weigh in from weds down rather than my Sunday weigh in because I know what I put on at wedding is all water and will be gone in a couple of days, Had a great time but now wondering how I'm going to manage to stay on track as we have an event if some type...

Yep big plans. I'm maid of honour for my best mate on Saturday. Travelling up there tomorrow to help organise. I don't see much chance of me being good but I'll try. A big plus though is I have just got into my size 16 skinny jeans. Not much of a muffin top either. Yay!!!!

No it was takeaway :( I was 100% other than that but it caused a gain anyway. I haven't been 100% today (had a chicken fajita salad for lunch) and I think the rest of the weekend is going to be a bit dodgy so I'm going to try to be good but not worry too much and crack on 100% on Monday.

Don't get me wrong I weigh at least once a day but I only record my stats once a week. Fell off that poxy wagon a bit tonight. We had Indian for dinner but I stuck to a dry tikka and Cauliflower and Aubergine curry so hopefully not taken me out of ketosis but way over on calories I'm sure.

Sunday. I've got my best friends wedding Saturday so it might go back up a bit but we'll see.

Not to bad 100% so far but I keep getting really cold. I think my body isn't used to have so little insulation. Just realised I'm 1lb off having lost 3 stone - Very exciting hopefully will do it for this weeks weigh in.

So thought I'd try a toning class at lunchtime. Core Fit - All Levels sounded good. Hmmmmm turns out you need a fit core to do core fit, go figure! Don't think my back was up to it really. Going to give pilates another crack next week instead.

Oh I miss the days when my little one stayed in one place for more than 30 seconds. How's it gone today? I've been 100%ish not sure a pepperami really counts as 100g of protein but hey ho it's not a total fail.

That's plenty to motivate you then. Right no more falling off the wagon, we're in this together now. We will look fabulous for Christmas!!!

Talk about on a mission!!! 5lbs a week - that's quite ambitious. Thinking about buying a nice small party dress to help inspire me. Shopping is always a good incentive. Aiming for at least 3lb a week. Hopefully that's doable. Good luck Hun x

Forgot to update last week but my loss this week takes me back to the same weight so a bit pointless now. Gotta get my butt in gear to get the rest off in time now.

5lbs off this week. Lyndzi76 (0lb lost, 12lb to go) Dolly Rocker (2lb lost, 10lb to go) dropandgimme85 (0lb lost, 14lbs to go) Pinkandfluffy (0lb lost, 14lbs to go) Sammy33 (0lb lost, 10lbs to go) Clinquant (0lb lost, 14lbs to go) Fran81 (5lbs lost, 9lbs to go) Tracyx (8lbs lost, 6lbs to go)...

5lbs off. That's the hen weight back off now time to knuckle down for Christmas.

Starting weight 15st 7lbs. I will be under 15 by the end of the month!!!

Rubbish, ended 0.5lbs heavier than at the beginning of Oct :( Having had a holiday and a hen weekend it could have been much worse though. I will get out of the 15's in Nov!

Done for you x Lyndzi76 (0lb lost, 12lb to go) Dolly Rocker (0lb lost, 12lb to go) dropandgimme85 (0lb lost, 14lbs to go) Pinkandfluffy (0lb lost, 14lbs to go) Sammy33 (0lb lost, 10lbs to go) Clinquant (0lb lost, 14lbs to go) Fran81 (0lbs lost, 14lbs to go) Tracyx (0lbs lost, 14lbs to go)...

I hear you! 2 days back on the wagon and both days I've spectacularly fallen off it in the evening. We were both doing really well we just need to find that motivation again.

OK going for a stone in November. Cheers Lyndzi for setting this up. No slacking off this month for me.... Lyndzi76 (0lb lost, 12lb to go) Dolly Rocker (0lb lost, 12lb to go) dropandgimme85 (0lb lost, 14lbs to go) Pinkandfluffy (0lb lost, 14lbs to go) Sammy33 (0lb lost, 10lbs to go) Clinquant...

Feeling quite tired today but back on the wagon. I only have just under two weeks before the wedding so no idea how this is going to go as I will have 2 days off for that but at least i'm managing to keep from gaining weight at the moment where normally it would be piling on. I did have a...

Very good weekend bug I am refusing to weigh myself. I know it will be bad and that most will be quickly lost so going to weigh in on 31st and hope that at least I haven't had a gain on my October challenge. Hoping November is a bit more successful. 2 weddings and a Christmas party might make it...

I think if ever I heard a good reason for falling off the wagon then that's it. Don't beat yourself up about it you've got enough to worry about. I hope everything turns out ok with you and your little one x

WOW well done that's really impressive. Planning on switching to Slimming World after Christmas so your progress is really reassuring. Did you start on Slimming World or did you do other diets before switching?

So what to do.... Hen weekend fast approaching and I don't want to make myself ill. Should I start eating now so my body has recovered before I start drinking or shall I leave it until last minute to come off plan. I'm inclined to start eating now so that I don't suddenly pile on both carbs and...

7lbs off - woohoo!!! Went to have final bridesmaid dress fitting and my dress has been taken in from a 24 to a 16/18. I am so happy. Hopefully I won't look like the fat bridesmaid this time :) Hen weekend next weekend so going to come off plan thurs to give my body a chance to carb up before...

7lbs off for me :) that's the 6.5lb gain and a little bit extra for good measure. Not sure how close to target I'll get as I have a hen weekend next week but so long as it's still coming off I'm not too worried.

I feel reassured after your post holiday loss. I have 6.5lbs to shift from 2 weeks of over indulgence. I hope I can follow in your footsteps x

Gained 5lbs while away, so in total have gained 6.5lbs. I am taking heart that it could have been a lot worse and considering what I ate and drank I'm surprised it's not. Hopefully can shift it all this week. Maybe even take a leaf out of Lyndzi's book and lose a couple extra for good measure.

+1.5lbs for me so now I need to lose 11.5 to hit target. Not great but completely off plan for a week now so hopefully that's all water weight. Off on hols this afternoon, hoping to swim enough to keep my weight down.

Cheers x

So off plan this week and so far so good. I don't seem to be gaining really. We went to an autumn menu tasting which involved a lot of courses and I did have a small gain from that but I would have expected that. On the whole though it's not been too bad. Really enjoying having a salad at lunch...

I know how you feel I get grief from my friends for not drinking alcohol. I find it funny that they think you can't have a good time without it.

My OH is a feeder. He gets in really late from work and then orders take away, orders my favourite and then eats it right next to me and then blames me for having no will power. Grrrrrrr

I have PCOS although I've had it under control for some time now having lost a couple of stone before falling pregnant with my son. I do a mixture of 4 packs some days and 3 and a meal other days. I don't know if the condition effects my weight loss at all but some people do seem to lose faster...

I have a bridesmaid dress to fit at the beginning of November so need to shift some more this month. Going to be more realistic though as I have a holiday and a hen weekend this month so I'm aiming for 10lbs. Fran81 10lbs (0lbs lost, 10lbs to go)

STS this week. I'm currently off plan although having shakes for breakfast and lunch and trying to be sensible for dinner. Going away next week so going back on plan when I get back. I guess that as I haven't gained being off plan that's a good sign.

STS for me this week so didn't make target :(

Sunday

**** day at work today. Really wanted comfort food. Settled with a steak and cauliflower mash so not too bad. However hopped on the scale earlier and those pesky 4 lbs are still hanging around from my unplanned days off. Pushed me back up to 100kg which is just rubbish. Feeling quite low about...

I've just been dress shopping with 2 different friends and most shops said leave 3 months to get a dress ordered in. If you buy one off the peg in your size you only need a couple of weeks to get it altered however and that leaves you loads of time just slightly less selection. We were in one...

Ouch sounds painful! Glad they could sort you out before you go. Note to self - must up water intake. Hope you have a fantastic holiday

Feeling much better so back on plan. Can't say I really want to eat anything at all though. Anyway 7lbs left for Sept target - not looking hopeful. 100% through to the end!!! Then only 4 days till holiday.

3.5 this week. Don't think I'll make my target this month but I'll try and get as close as possible. Lyndzi76 - target 14lb (11lb lost, 3lb to go) Fran81 - target 14lb (7lb lost, 7lb to go) My-year2012 14lb (6lb lost, 8lb to go) TrueBlueAngel 9lbs (0lbs lost, 9lbs to go) Safia 14lbs (0lbs...

Forgot to post my weigh in this morning. 3.5lbs off for me this week.

Caught a 24 hour sickness bug off my little one. I collapsed last night, I guess because I'm on so few calories and I didn't get to keep any yesterday. I think I may have to come off plan for a couple of days to get my energy back. Anyone had a similar problem got any ideas?

Cheekychick- I haven't got much of a sweet tooth so that doesn't bother me too much but I try not to drink it too late as it does stop me sleeping. Sammy yep no citric acid so it's fine.

My little one was up being sick all last night and has been quite poorly today. I was supposed to be out with friends tonight but I'm now on baby watch. So to treat myself I've had a Dr Pepper Zero and a stuffed marrow. Living on the wild side!!! So much better than my usual indulgences .

Clear spirits are carb free too.

Well done getting the weight back off. Makes me feel better about my upcoming holiday.

I use the curry as a sauce and mix meat and veg in then its lovely. Not so nice on its own though.

When you go to pay you just choose to pay with reward points. If you don't have enough for the whole order it deducts what you have then you can pay the rest as normal. Plus you still get reward points on that order. Quite good really, I've saved over £15 on my orders so far.

Good luck girls!!!

Keep an eye on the hairloss but it is quite common in the months after giving birth to lose a fair amount of hair. This is because you stop your normal shedding while pregnant and it starts up again after birth or after you stop breastfeeding. Its just your body catching up. I had the same thing...

Checking my stats this morning and realised that this year (not just on S&S) I have lost over 50lbs. I'm so proud of this but why do I still not see it. Other people do why not me.

2.5lb loss for me this week. MamaC- 56lbs (10lbs lost, 46lbs to go) Porche04- 49 ( 13 lbs lost, 36 to go) Sallycinnamon- 84 lbs (16 lbs lost, 68 lbs to go) Autumnbabe -33 lbs (27lb lost),6lbs to go) Debsxdiet- 84 lbs( 31lbs lost, 53lbs to go) TrueBlueAngel-9lbs to go (lost 12lbs). Tick...

2.5lbs off for me this week. Going to have to pull my finger out if I want to reach my goal this month. But happy I'm finally under 100kg. Lyndzi76 - target 14lb (9lb lost, 5lb to go) Fran81 - target 14lb (3.5lb lost, 10.5lb to go) My-year2012 14lb (3lb lost, 11lb to go) TrueBlueAngel 9lbs...

2.5lbs off for me. Happy dance - finally under 100kg - whoop whoop. First time in 10 years. I'm pleased with that loss too after a week off.

Not sure I need to check how long the alterations will take. Hoping to wait another month before being measured.

Sounds like we've had similar losses, I've gone from a 22 to an 18 too. However can't even get size 16 jeans up let alone done up. Seems to be a much bigger jump. It feels good getting into smaller clothes though doesn't it. I need to get my size 24 bridesmaid dress for November taken in at...

Whatever you are doing I wanna do some of it!!! Well done you x

Feeling really good. Hopefully I've dropped any weight i gained on week off. Not home tomorrow so weigh in will be a day late.

Fantastic loss Spanglymum!!!

Feels much better being back on plan. I did go to Nandos at lunch for a friends leaving do but only had leaf salad and chicken so still on plan. Hopefully stay 100% the rest of the week. 3 weeks until holiday.

Back on the wagon tomorrow and I literally can't wait. I've felt really full and bloated even though I didn't eat huge amounts. Had a sneaky peek at the scales nod only gained 2lbs so once the water weight has shifted hopefully I'll be back on track :)

Not going to weigh in this week. I know I've gained from coming off plan and I think it will just dishearten me. I'll wait till I'm back on plan next week so at least I should have lost most the water weight again by then.

Feeling frustrated today, I had a sneaky look at the scales and I've had a small gain, other than the pizza mishap I've been 100% all week. Surely I must be back in ketosis by now and even if I wasn't just from lack of calories I should be losing. My only hope is that it's because I drank...

Yep back on plan straight away, didn't feel too bad either so don't think it affected my ketosis too much because I didn't get any of the hunger or headaches etc. Coming off this weekend though for the anniversary, so not expecting much loss this week, if I can avoid a gain that would be a plus...

I've been very bad. I had 2 slices of pizza. I don't feel too bad about it, I've been good for weeks and I'm determined its a one off so back on the wagon tomorrow. I think that's a healthy attitude. Anyway must be good the rest of the week as my planned break is this weekend and I'd really...

I had the same problem first time I went to the States and Canada. I managed to put on a stone in 2 weeks. Try everything and have fun just be sensible where you can be. Their food is all very high in fat and sugar so it is hard to make healthy choices. Have a fab time x

4.5lb off for me this week. Starting to look like less of an impossible task. MamaC- 56lbs (9lbs lost, 47lbs to go) Porche04- 49 ( 13 lbs lost, 36 to go) Sallycinnamon- 84 lbs (16 lbs lost, 68 lbs to go) Autumnbabe -33 lbs (23lb lost), 10lbs to go) Debsxdiet- 84 lbs( 31lbs lost, 53lbs...

Weigh in day but and I lost 4.5lbs but as already counted 3.5 of that in the August challenge I figure I can't count it in both so just the 1lb off for now. Lyndzi76 - target 14lb (0lb lost, 14lb to go) Fran81 - target 14lb (1lb lost, 13lb to go) My-year2012 14lb (Olb lost, 14lb to go)...

Decided to change my weigh in day to Sunday because it gives me more time to do my measurements than trying to do it before work. So this week I lost 4.5lb. Very happy with that.

I did Exante and I much prefer these shakes as they aren't as thick and I like that there is more variety. The starter pack is great cos you can try lots of different ones then see which you like. Good luck x

Fab loss well done x

Well done for sticking with it and at least it sounds like you danced off some of those calories.

Yep me too. I'm also trying to lose before getting pregnant again. I'd said I'd start trying if I got below 100kg but now I'm on a roll I've changed it to 90kg. Lyndzi the only other thing I've noticed is I lose more if I get more sleep. Late nights usually equal a poor loss.

Honk for yesterday and today :)

I'm with you, off on hols beginning of October so also need to shift some more before then. Lyndzi76 - target 14lb (0lb lost, 14lb to go) Fran81 - target 14lb (0lb lost, 14lb to go)

Did a mini weigh in this morning to make sure I hit my August target and not only have I smashed my target I'm finally under 16 stone!!! I am a pound of being my lightest weight since before I met my husband 10 years ago. Very exciting....

Lost another 3.5lb so have smashed my target :D YAY!!! Cherrypie- target 14lb (4lb lost 10lb to go) MamaC- target 14lbs (1lbs lost, 13lbs to go) MrsBNow- target 14lbs (0lbs lost, 14lbs to go) Joyous_One- target 14lbs (6.6lbs lost, 7.4lbs to go) Mini mouse -target 14lb (10 lb lost...

That sucks :( Not sure what else to suggest. You could give the guys at S&S a call they are really helpful. I hope it starts coming off for you.

Are you having caffeine? I saw in another thread that S&S suggested to someone in the same situation to cut out caffeine and suddenly they started losing.

Great stuff, glad to see its started shifting for you.

Managed to stay 100% for 3 days. I am missing real food but it does seem to have started things shifting again. So close to so many mini goals, 0.5lbs from my August target, 1.5lbs from 16 stone and 2.3kg from being under 100kg. This is usually when things go wrong so need to stay focused and...

Honk

Honk for yesterday and today :)

I've done it yay!!!! Finally 2 stone off :D So happy I'm bouncing round the room.

Mad hatters afternoon tea party at The Crazy Bear, dinner and an overnight stay with champagne breakfast. I can't wait!!!

I need to have a good loss the next two weeks as i have a planned weekend off for our anniversary. Really looking forward to it but also worried I'll undo all my hard work.

Good luck girls but please be careful. Raising your heart rate too high on this kind of diet can damage your heart muscle which is why they suggest light exercise. If you feel yourself getting really out of breath make sure you take it easy. I have the DVD but I tried it when eating normally and...

Setting myself a mini goal of staying 100% simplicity all week. I'm off work so hopefully that will make it easier.

Only a 1.5lb loss this week. I knew it was going to be bad. But at least it's a loss. Especially as we went for dinner at an all you can eat buffet at Legoland on Saturday. I only had one small plate of food and no carbs to be seen. Amazingly I was stuffed when normally I could have eaten loads.

Only 1.5 this week :(

1.5 off this week MamaC- 56lbs (9lbs lost, 47lbs to go) Porche04- 49 ( 13 lbs lost, 36 to go) Sallycinnamon- 84 lbs (16 lbs lost, 68 lbs to go) Autumnbabe -33 lbs (23lb lost), 10lbs to go) Debsxdiet- 84 lbs( 31lbs lost, 53lbs to go) TrueBlueAngel-10lbs to go (lost 11lbs). Tick Tock...

Only 1.5 this week but hoping I can still shift those last 2 before the end of the month. I will do a mini weigh in Friday to check. Cherrypie- target 14lb (4lb lost 10lb to go) MamaC- target 14lbs (1lbs lost, 13lbs to go) MrsBNow- target 14lbs (0lbs lost, 14lbs to go) Joyous_One-...

5lb is brilliant well done. Hope your little one is feeling better.

Good luck. I've reordered after a short while because I didn't order enough shakes and had none left. Website didn't seem to care. I think it'll be fine.

Not feeling the love this week. Weight loss so far this week pretty much non existent. I'm hoping its due to totm and it will suddenly drop. I've been really good so it's quite disheartening. Also just had to bake and ice a birthday cake without so much as licking a finger. Now that's willpower...

Honk for yesterday

Amazing losses, well done you.

Sorry missed this one when I updated. 3.5lb for me this week.

Where did you get your badge of achievements from hun? I couldn't see anything on S&S website.

That's tough. I agree I'm really impressed you have stuck with it without seeing a loss on the scales. Have you tried taking your waist/hip measurements etc. It could be that you are gaining muscle whilst losing fat. Particularly as it is a high protein diet if you are active you may gain muscle...

I go out fairly regularly and have managed to stay on plan 99% of the time. I order a large bottle of sparkling water and make that last all night. Ordering food can be tricky but most places are very accomodating. I will order something like a steak and ask for salad or extra vegetables instead...

I tend to add my protein and veg to a meal pack. I particularly like the mild curry so add chicken or lean beef and cauliflower to that, or extra mince and mushrooms to the spaghetti bolognese or chilli. I also love grilled steak or salmon with roasted butternut squash (i roast it with rosemary)...

Water and paracetamol Hun. It's not much help but its something x

Didn't plan my packs very well, realised this morning I only have 4 shakes left but loads of meal packs. Emergency order time!!! Hopefully they'll arrive before I run out.

Phew I was worrying the same thing.

I was always called fat as a teenager but looking back at photos I was definitely not I just had curves. I just wish I'd known better and never started dieting. I was a 10-12 at 15 but since then it gradually went up until at my biggest I was a size 26. It's been a while since I've been that big...

You are doing really well. Just noticed you are only having 3 packs though. Are you adding protein and veg in or just the packs? I have an 18 month old and my advice is get as much done before you have to start feeding them as possible. The hardest part of my day is feeding my little boy...

Good luck Nixxy, sometimes losing the weight is the easy part. Getting your head in the right place is much harder and if you figure it out let me know x

3.5lbs off this week. I was hoping for a 5 but I know I went off plan a couple of times so its my own fault. Really good results on the measuring tape though. I've now lost 8 inches off my waist and 6 off my hips. There's still a long way to go but I feel like I can do it this time.

3.5 off this week. Looks like I might actually do this :) Cherrypie- target 14lb (2lb lost 12lb to go) MamaC- target 14lbs (1lbs lost, 13lbs to go) MrsBNow- target 14lbs (0lbs lost, 14lbs to go) Joyous_One- target 14lbs (4.4lbs lost, 9.6lbs to go) Mini mouse -target 14lb (10 lb lost, 4 lbs...

So bored today. Definitely one of my triggers cos i want to eat everything in sight. Might have an early night to stop the temptation.

I'm wearing my size 18 jeans - whoop whoop!!!!

Still lost this morning so it's all good. Looking forward to Mondays weigh in now. Feeling good.

Great stuff. Week 3 will be a breeze :)

Much better today thanks, no idea what it was. Went a little off plan this evening, no carbs though but had a ribeye steak at dinner out fir my friends birthday which was a bit naughty. Hopefully not much harm done though and I felt like I needed a bit of an energy boost after the last couple of...

I know exactly how you feel TOTM due and i'm ill and suddenly fighting the urge to raid the cupboards. I just keep trying to think about how pleased I am when I have a good result on the scales. Keep strong, we can do this!!!

Good luck X

Feel terrible this evening, temperature is up and I ache all over, plus shivering like its January. Anyone know what's best to do when ill? Don't know whether to up calories to help fight whatever it is or whether it will make no difference. I don't really feel like eating.

Honk :)

They aren't as small as they seem. They absorb a lot of water. I like the curry, chilli, spag bol and mushroom pasta. Not so keen on the cottage pie though.

How are things going now?

Honk for yesterday

4lb off this week. Pleased with that although it was 5lb yesterday. Up much earlier on a Monday though and I think I drank my body weight in water yesterday. Would love to see a 5 or 6 on the scale next week though. Out weds and thurs for birthday meals though so I won't hold my breath.

Does anyone know why they say you can't drink at all on Slim and Save. I know on other low carb diets I've been on the odd clear spirit was allowed. Just wondering why this one is different.

You only let yourself down if you give up. Put it behind you, what's done is done. You cant put your whole life on hold for a diet. Just focus on what you need to do to get back on track and you'll be fine.

Drank so much water last night I thought I'd pop but I could believe the difference it made on the scales this morning. After a bad start to the week I'm now very excited about tomorrow's weigh in :D

Coke zero is a life saver, I miss the variety of drinks far more than food. Good luck x

Good luck Cacee x

My hubby last night reached new levels of unsupportiveness. He made me watch Masterchef, then ordered my favourite dishes from the local Indian and ate them in front of me. It was so hard and I was very grumpy but I didn't cave, I now just like him a little bit less.

Ok need to stop with the treats now. Went on a shopping spree to get some smaller clothes. Now have next 2 pairs of goal Jeans as I've already got into both the 20's and 18's. so I've been ambitious and have a pair of 16's and 14's. if I get into either it will be the first time as an adult :D...

Honk for day 32 x

Wow brilliant results!!! Well done x

Honkalicious!!!

Ok feeling much better today, I've treated myself to some new sexy shoes and have been to a spa this afternoon (thanks *******) . I think I could get used to this whole not treating myself with food think.

Good luck Lisa, just remember no food taste as good as that smaller pair of jeans will feel.

Honk honk!!!

Possibly, it's a charity BBQ for a dive company that specialises in diving for people with disabilities. Usually a great night out, might just have to be strong because even though I've stuck to low carb meals I seem to now be gaining ever so slightly. I'm hoping its because totm is on its way...

Until I started writing it down in here I hadn't realised how much of my social life revolved around food. We went to the cinema tonight with friends which would have been fine if not for the cheeky Nandos beforehand. I was very good and had a mixed leaf salad and butterfly chicken breast but...

Sounds like ketosis has set in, good stuff. I'm a terror for scale hopping so I sympathise, no way I could make it a week, I'm lucky if I manage just the once a day.

Feeling a bit pooh today, very tired and my weightloss has slowed to a standstill the last few days. I'm wondering if something I ate at the weekend took me out of ketosis. Hopefully if I get back in it will drop again quick but I have no energy right now.

Can't see why not, although they already have milk powder in so I don't suppose it will change the taste much.

I did it when I had 2 packs left to have in the evening. You could probably guess, I guess if you go a little over its not going to hurt.

Why is my Avatar pic sideways?

3lbs today :)

I hate the crispy ones they are gross. I made the choc crispy one into a brownie which wasn't too bad. I only order caramel, hazelnut and mint choc shakes now as I love them all. Also like the Chicken soup, spag bol, mild curry, mushroom pasta and chilli con carne. Gives me plenty of variety...

If your food packs are coming out runny it maybe that your microwave is lower powered. I make mine up as per instructions and after I've left to stand for a minute they aren't watery at all. I used my friends microwave the other day and my spag Bol was like soup. Maybe try adding another 30 secs...

3lbs loss for me this week, a bit grumpy about it as I was lower mid week but two meals out caught up with me. Will try to be 100% this week to make up for it. On the plus side I've lost 16cm off my waist and bust and 10cm off my hips in just 4 weeks. I am soooo chuffed with that.

Don't do it, best to get all the hunger and cravings over and done with otherwise you'll just end up hungry and grumpy for longer. I found it only lasted 2 days then I wasn't hungry anymore. Stay strong.

Someone gave me a great tip once, when one of the packs doesn't taste good just think of it as thin medicine. If a doctor gave you a shake and said take one of these 4 times a day and you'll be thin then you'd do it in a heartbeat. If you think of it as a meal replacement you focus on what you...

Not got a set end weight but I'd like to get under 200lbs at least. I haven't been under 100kgs since I before I met my husband 10 years ago so that's my first big goal. I got to 102kgs just before i fell pregnant with my little boy whose now 17 months old. taken me till now to get close. Only...

Good Luck

Went to a wedding reception last night. It was in a Cypriot restaurant and I thought I made good choices but the scales this morning are not happy with me. I know I shouldn't scale hop but I need to know if I'm going off the rails. Off to a BBQ today so really hoping I still manage a loss for...

Hubby's been diving and brought home hand caught Scallops. Just trying to work out what to have with them. I'm thinking a rocket salad - yum yum

Thanks. This is why I love this diet, I can stay motivated if I see results, as soon as I stop seeing the weight come off I tend to lose interest. Hopefully that won't happen.

I'm wearing my new non stretched, non stretchy, unforgiving size 20 next jeans. And I mean wearing them, not sucked everything in, lie on back, inched zip up, muffin topping out of them. There is no bulging at all. So pleased!!! Only a couple of weeks ago I was struggling to fit 22's. I have my...

Are you able to do the 30 day shred now your a week in? I'm trying to find some safe exercise to do that wont result in me passing out. So far all I've done is swimming. I have the shred DVD but I think it might be too much on only 600 calories a day.

Honk :)

Not going away till October but I definitely need to keep the momentum going. I'm a bridesmaid in November and need to get to my goal before I get my dress altered. Cherrypie- target 14lb (0lb lost 14lb to go) MamaC- target 14lbs (0lbs lost, 14lbs to go) MrsBNow- target 14lbs (0lbs lost, 14lbs...

It is definitely much easier once the hungers gone. My advice if your struggling to get started is start on Lifestyle not Simplicity that way you can fill up on your meat and veg allowance and not feel quite so much like you've gone cold turkey. The mild curry pack is great for mixing with meat...
