Hey lovelies happy 2017! Turns out 2016 sucked! I gained 7lb last year, stress eating, finishing off my education, illness, family problems... any how I stated at Christmas and have 4lb left to get back at goal, aiming for that by the end of January! Lots of love & best wishes to all.

Still maintaining. If you chose to make a change & stick with it you can do anything

Well it's been a long long time since I was on here but yeah, I maintain my weight with the f&h approach! It's really life changing! I've stayed at around 8.11stone since the last time I posted here ? over a year ago. Maybe longer! I was looking for some old pictures & remembered this account!

I've forgotten how to add multiple pictures ? anyways here's a before for comparison! Remember you are so worth it & you can do it!

If anyone has seen any of my other posts with older pictures in... Well you can see the difference! Don't lose hope! Keep your eyes on the prize & you can do it!

Wow what can I say.... 2 years since my last post.... I'm at target, I do go up & down a couple pounds depending on time of the month! I've just had my gallblader removed 2 days ago so I'm recovering from that, have to take 6ish weeks of rest before I can start working out again!

Maybe you should have a look at a paleo lifestyle? It seems to me Cambridge just isn't working for you anymore, why waste soooo much money on it? Yeah Cambridge is fabulous to get it off quick but if you aren't 100% in it & don't make changes to your life then what's the point? The cake will...

Ohhh fay I hope you keep it off hon & enjoy that year out! :) good luck!!

Hope everyone's doing well :) I'm sure you are just fine, sending lots of positive thoughts your way x

I feel out of the loop now been away for so long! if you are lifting expect a gain I've put on 2lb from it in 19days but I look and feel so much better, I don't think anything is worse than once you have lost the weight having to look at a skinny fat body lol. Carb cycling? It's probably really...

Also... Long time since I posted! So much crap going on in my life, currently having a heavy dark bout of depression.... Thankfully i have after months of saying no my first therapy session tomorrow.My weights pretty much the same so not all bad it fluctuates between 8.8-9.0. No way in seven...

10 days of 30 day shred!!!

Hey ladies, I've just done day 10 starting level 2 in the morning just thought I'd share my results... After 10 days I'm happy so far! :)

I am damned sick of weight watchers app constantly it brakes constantly & I'm paying £5 a month for the blooming thing! Might be time to switch to my fitness pal!! In other news I've been watching a lot of food documentaries and I'm going to try a vegan diet, after all the things I've seen &...

So after watching a lot of documentaries I've decided id like to go vegan for many reason but mostly because I believe it's the way to go for me. Now I'm maintaining my goal weight (I'm actually a few lbs under) I prefer f&h because counting I feel way too restricted... I'm just wondering...

You can't go wrong if you get the ww app & don't go over your weeklys! Cx

hehe :D it's fantastic, I have an app called yoga studio! It's all different levels And suits me :D think it cost about £2 no gym no travel expenses :)

I know I know it's not much but I've never had any muscle tone in my life so I'm over the fluffing moon :D

Thank you so much :) xx so to show the benefits of just 20 straight days of yoga here's a few pics...please ignore the undies

Will give it a go thanks :)

that's awesome :D good going, slip ups happen but if they keep happening it will take you outa ketosis and it's a nightmare getting back in to it! If you really need something stick to a boiled egg a small can of tuna or a small chicken breast! :) keep it up lady x

Good job on getting the size 12 :D I have the same problem... They don't think smaller sizes have a decent bust lol looks like I've got 4 lol

I paid £6 for coconut oil in tesco you can get big pots off Amazon has soo many uses, sadly we don't have any Indian/Asian shops so it's expensive for me! :'( apparently it's good for weight loss but I'm not so sure haven't read that much in to it

I'm good thanks just super busy, the little ones been sick and in hospital last week but thankfully we are home! Doing lots of yoga finally starting to build some muscle :D discovered two new loves, coconut oil & agarve nectar! Trying to wean off sugar so they are helping! Plus coconut oil...

exactly this :D

It does get easier, the headaches stop, you kinda get used to being slightly hungry I think it's mostly mental though. Once your in ketosis if you have the will power its smooth sailing :) x

I'm sure you will get there :D just get that first week down then it's easy :) x

I'm sure it's doable, different for every one...some weeks I only lost 1lb I'm the lowest weight I've been in my adult life right now (8.8st) it's honestly one of the best things I've ever done for my self that plus yoga :D just keep the end in sight c

I think it was about 4 stone, can't remember it seems a life time ago x

Did 12 weeks on ss then did the step 2 week, then back to ss for a few weeks then followed step 2 for a week then step 3 then switched to weight watchers x

after eating less and less calories your body will adapt and will begin to manage off the lower calories, and your metabolism will be lower. the cheat meal is supposed to help keep your metabolism higher. im not sure if there is any research behind this, im sure it has some truth, but it's a...

I started after I left my husband he took the fridge & emptied cupboards so I didn't have any food in the house, he inadvertently helped me with that lol it also took a lot of will power around day 3/4 after the first week it didn't bother me , I red a lot while doing Cambridge just to keep my...

Thank you :)

It's worth the first week or so of hell!! Just hang in there it gets better! Make sure you are having enough water, and some paracetamol x

Extra virgin coconut oil... Anyone tasted this? I'm wanting to try it as I've been reading about it's many benefits & that it slaps any sugar craving in the face lol

It didn't seem to do anything with my losses, it only now I'm trying to build muscle & the scale going down that's frustrating! Lol x

This is my diet & food section on my phone it's my bible as I can't afford the gym right now.. I haven't tried the 7min work out challenge yet though will have a go tomorrow when little ones at nursery :)

I'd love a tummy tuck but since I work in a bar finance would be impossible :'( might try nhs but I'm quite sure I'll get a swift no! I did couch 2 5k it's nice and easy to start :) I can run 5k (just) but I hate cardio lol, I started c25k while on ss but I'd suggest do nothing for a few weeks...

thanks hon! Just cheepy ones from asda the look like shorts! Haha don't talk too me about c section tummy, I hate mine :) x as for exercise I didn't do a terrible lot! Just a bit of running, I'm getting in to my yoga now it's amazing :)

Yeah you get 90 to maintain but I don't like to use them all I'd usually use about 10 a day! Well we got sent home thankfully I couldn't have coped with hospital food any longer! Plus the hospital has a costa and well I'd happily sit and drink about 10 skinny gingerbread/ vanilla lattes a day...

She seems a bit better today thankfully :D scales weren't to bad 8.9 on my home scale.

Sweet potato with a few sprays of fry light baked!

No, if you change your diet along with it then yes but it won't be down to the tea.

I'm currently having a nightmare with under eye dark circles & puffyness I use a yellow corrective concealer by e.l.f but I'll be honest it really doesn't do much. Does anyone know of a good concealer that's under £15 that works?! Anythings a brilliant help!

Well things have gone from bad to worse this week spent the night in hospital with my little one on top of my f&h I cried in to a box of ww cakes, a big chill chicken wrap and 2 slices of pizza :'( didn't get much sleep (2hours) I have 13/49 weeklys left (only reset yesterday) so I'll check the...

I wasn't hungry but I'm doing a bar shift tonight so had a jacket spud with Ham cottage cheese& mushroom! Hopefully it will fly by and burn a good few calories!

Look at all of this cake! I'm sure they have left it here so I get fat! But yeah had a week of eating whatever i want (and drinking) :'(

Hen night was amazing last night was amazing ! Think I've put about 5lb on from the past couple of weeks so I'm going to do a kind of detox week (points) but mainly live off stir fry! I have no will power against cake :'(

Hello ladies :) I'm fine just having a bad time, my grandad had been diagnosed with prostate cancer so it's quite a stressful time. As for maintaining (haven't been to a meeting for 3 weeks) got weighed at my doctors and I'm still 8.9 stone so that's awesome, sticking to f&h because it honestly...

it's basically the sane a slimming world, you get a list of foods you can eat as much as you like of, (obviously you don't have 3 jacket spuds as one meal, it says unlimited, this sometimes throws people) 2 treats a day (ww cake/tomato ketchup/ww sausage) I didn't want to try it at first but...

Hmmm, to become a ww leader or not... I'd get a huge buzz from people tbh... I'll look into it

Thanks Carrie. And no sadly I'd have no place to ware it lol xx

It's awesome isn't it Ria :D even better when some one says oh it won't fit you! Even more sale stuff in a 6 that dress was a 6 couldn't get it off over my "little boy boobies" lol I think is maybe a little far... I'm trying to maintain now!

Tried this little number on for the sisters wedding do....love it butttt it was 2 expensive! :'( also had some bad news this week so I'm going to need some cheering up :/

Tried this on... Love it

Gorgeous dress I tried on :D

Thanks :D

it could well be that, if it's not sorted by tomorrow it'll be a trip to the doctor. It was tight I'm just in shock they zipped up and didn't burst!

Had a hugeeee shock yesterday... They are tight but f yeah got a size blooming 6 zipped up! It was so unexpected! I picked them up off the sale rack thinking they were an 8

Had a wee date today went well! The problem I have is I've had 2 skinny lattes 2 crumpets with cottage cheese and Ham, banana pancake with yogurt & fruit and now my stomach is absolutely killing me :'( skipped wi this week so I could go on my wee date! Bleh cramps in my stomach this sucks...

Had a wee date today :) went well! The problem I have is I've had 2 skinny lattes 2 crumpets with cottage cheese and Ham, banana pancake with yogurt & fruit and now my stomach is absolutely killing me :'( skipped wi this week so I could go on my wee date! Bleh cramps in my stomach this sucks...

Some perspective

Another wee update! I tried a size 6 pair of trousers just for a giggle because they were £2.50 got the bloody things on didn't i... It was unexpected and they were snug but I'm in shock anyways here the latest pic (not in the size 6) lol :D

Going to do a points day today because I just can't be bothered to cook lol

Can't decide what to do today! Points or f&h! I'm so stressed out think my head will pop!

I feel like a walking balloon! I love tea, (2cups at brakefast is the norm) as soon as my cups empty I fill it up, got to have a drink with me constantly good job I switched to decaf lol

So today I decided it was fat day! Stuffed my greedy face! Scrambled egg toast with real butter... About 7 cups of tea... Hazelnut latte a double decker a chocolate tiffin a biscuit and to top it all off a Chinese! I'm feeling really sorry for my self.

Isn't it! :) yeah I'm in love with the shoes!

Hehe yeah :) got a guy dressed as iron man in some of their pictures(both huge fans) had a good giggle at those!

Just thought I'd share one of my sisters photos from the secret wedding :D

thanks :D I lost just under 5 stone before I started ww was 10.1st so it was a comfortable weight (size 12) and wasn't to bothered how slow the last bit came off. It slowed down initially first week I lost half a pound, it varied after that some weeks half a pound some 3 pounds! I got told off...

Tbh I avoid most bready type things (apart from crumpets lol) so today I've scoffed on banana pancake with fruit& yogurt jacket spud with broccoli cauliflower peas sweetcorn (not a big portion just left overs) with cottage cheeses and few slices of wafer thin ham. Packet of quavers, ww cookie...

You can tell she's been crying in that picture, but it's still lovely :)

Exactly! At the end of the day as long as she's good to my daughter I don't care what she thinks of me. Anyways here's the picture she sent to let people know!

Yeah 4pp in them! We have a little bit of snow today in fat old Cumbria ( was mortified when I seen that in the papers) but sadly it didn't lay :'( with the current love my daughter has for frozen it would have made her day :)

No it was the other sister that seems to diss like me!

They are lovely :) they are a bit like Cheerios but with marshmallows. So today I'm not sure if I'm doing points or f&h I've had some of that Special K porridge I've pointed it 3pp for a sachet... I'll use weeklies for it because I'm not sure if it's free on f&h

I mean it wasn't that terrible really it's just I scoffed it at once... This is why I won't be staying at a friends again for a long while! Lucky charms were in my local tesco for £5 expensive yes but I have paid up to £16 in other places! 3pp per serving (27g I think is a serving)

I'm not doing to bad, today I'm having a fat day... Pointed most of what I've eaten today and I've had to use my weeklies..... Feeling quite bad today tbh stuffed my food for the day in one sitting :/ Sunday is usually a bad day for me... Had 5 chips 7milkiway stars muller light greek style a...

My sister got married today... On holiday In New York, told no one! I'm so happy for them both :D 5th anniversary! My other sister was in tears and devastated about it... I think it's lovely and couldn't be happier for them :D as far as I know they are having a small ceremony and party 15th...

Just had some lovely news :D my sister flew off to New York on Wednesday... Got married today didn't tell anyone it was happening, it's the 5th anniversary today aswell :D roll on 15 march for the big shindig :D having my daughter the other sister and my self as bridesmaids the impression I got...

Well today I've blitzed 10 weeklys really feeling like crap :( it's down to the events of last weekend and trying my best to quit smoking, it's been a week without a smoke today is the first day it's really got to me!

That sounds lovely :D

Make that 6 points, had a square of chocolate. :/

I started in October :)

I'm sure you will do fine! sort of playing about 5 f&h days and 2 days points to see how it goes had jacket spud with mushrooms tomatoes and wafer thin ham (200g pack) and quark enough for 2 meals so will be having the same tomorrow... 5 of my weeklys because I can't live without hot chocolate...

-1lb this week :D

I'm good :D lost a pound this week somehow :D stuffed my beloved banana pancake down my throat might have a jacket spud later or pasta haven't decided yet! How you getting on?

It comes up as 3 on the app, medium from costa, from what I gather it's free on f&h will check in group on Thursday :) as for the points day I'm on 29 so within budget for maintenance points :D

Not done well with lunch 10 points :O I mean it was lovely pulled pork with a BBQ sauce type thing and ww malted Danish! I wasn't doing a points day but think I'll change it now! Doing a ww bake in the bag but using ww sausages instead for dinner with lots of veggies :) going for walk to town...

Blueberries with porridge and cinnamon for breakfast yum yum :)

Sorry but I just feel so sad about current affairs for the both of you, you have inspired so many people, we all know you can do it! Don't make space for the negativity, it makes you make space for junk masquerading as food! Look back at your pictures it's not so much about the weight it's the...

Right I'm going to be the bad ass here... Ria, Fay... What are you doing ladies! Stop making excuses, it so destructive! You know this, stop cheating your selfs! How well have you both done how amazing do you feel for it? How amazing are you going to feel/look/think when you get to goal! Try...

I think you get 6 extra points a day if you go that route I'll check my book when I get up :)

I can have 90 but I still have 10 left from the 49 (I'm not counting the alcohol from the weekend because I've no idea what the heck I drank other than way to much) I'll likely use 3/4 tomorrow and Wednesday.

Not to bad thanks new week new day new start :) had 3 meals today rather than 2

Yup it was pretty unreal for a cereal that's marketed as healthy!

Well done :D

Breakfast is done! Didn't have time to make anything so I had a bowl of Special K I had about a serving and a half (wasn't enough for another serving) 5points though! Ekk

ah :( that must be terrible :/ I just got an app c25k free 30/40 mins 3 times a week isn't bad. I'm going to make sure I do in the morning! I'm trying to quit smoking on top of my current emotional state it's not a good thing while trying to maintain/ lose weight! But thankfully the biccys are...

It does :) I've been a baddie and ate 3 digestive biscuits :( emotional hunger not actually hunger... But given the exercise I've done today I don't think it will have any impact on my weight. Provided the weathers not to horrible I'm going to do couch to 5k while the little ones at nursery, if...

Banana pancake with a ww greek yogurt and blueberries It wasn't as nice as the natural yogurt I enjoyed the boot camp :) duno if I'll be eating anything else today will be having my hot chocolate later because it's now a habit (thankfully 40 calorie only habit and only 1 point) I may have a pack...

It's really not but at least I've learned from it. Off to a boot camp work out thingy today so it should make me feel better. As for food had crumpets and cottage cheese will see how the rest of the day goes, should be fine :)

I've said sorry etc, he just doesn't want to talk to me totally understandable so I won't bother him anymore :( defo staying off the alcohol i just lose it when I'm drunk don't remember a thing it's horrible

I hope it can be fixed but the outlook is grim. Feeling super sorry for my self today given the drama I've caused so I've been a pig... Had banana pancake with blueberries and yogurt (that's fine) tesco does a hog roast pack thing so I had that with 2 crumpets it was gorgeous then had 2 lemon...

Well I do hope you have a better weekend than me!!!Mine is shaping up terribly :( totally blew it with the guy I had a date with the other day...a last min night out ending up with me completely out of control(I don't remember much) well I was in such a state I had no idea what was going on and...

Ohh that sounds lovely !

Try doing step 2/3 you could maybe more calories to get you out of the stall? It just gets so much slower the closer to goal you are :( fingers crossed you get a good loss soon and with the exercise hopefully you will get those few inches off :D I had a week off with being so busy going to get...

yeah "gold member" it's free as long as you stay within 5lb either side of goal and attend at least 5 meetings a year! I'll go every 2 weeks I think , have to go next week because I'm going on the gold bored lol first person of the year lol! Well ww is a lot slower than Cambridge...when I was...

Date was nice :) didn't let me pay for a thing! Wasn't best pleased about that but it was lovely! Ww is free now because I'm at goal (changed it because I'm not losing) I do still want to lose the last 5lb but why pay if I'm staying the same, 5lb will come off eventually :D

Hello! I'm still around just had a hectic week! And had a date last night :) as for the wi sts, I don't think my body is going to let me lose anymore :/ I only want another 5lb! But decided at ww that will do(so it's free now) but hoping I will lose that last 5 pounds!

He's a nice guy :) I was under the impression it was free! But you have to pay for the e tools.... But hey £15 for 3 month is wayyy better than £21.80 or whatever monthly pass is! :)

Date was good :) he wouldn't let me pay for anything that kinda annoyed me! Wi was a sts been at 8.12 for 5 weeks now so decided with my leader that's it! I do want to lose a little more but I'm sort of happy with where I am! Going to stick to f&h with the weeklys! Now a gold member so at least...

Haha tucked in to your socks then I could see a problem! I have a date tonight... In a posh restaurant just had a look at the menu... So I think I'll be having salmon in piri piri sauce with roasted veggies (praying they aren't oily) can't see much that's diet friendly... And its wi tomorrow... Grr

Thank you :) hope it's inspired someone!

Yeah they are like spaniels ears lol I don't really care about my boobs I breast fed my baby so they have served their purpose lol :)

It looks like she's giving me cuddles but she is in fact strangling me lol

Yeah the body can do some amazing things :D yeah well 2and a bit :) so cute and a little monster ! Keeps you on your toes :)

And I've gone from a Dcup to an A lol but hey oh I look healthy now

I find the skin absolutely soul destroying! Sounds terrible but I still feel fat because of it.... I cry most nights because it gets me down, seriously thinking of having surgery

Yeah I have a mini me aswell :D mine just happens to be evil lol terrible twos indeed :) so my skin is going no where fast! it's been about 8 month since I started...only just started to stall now.

I'm 5foot 2 (only little) goal is 8.7 I could be 7.10 and still be healthy!

Was almost 15 stone when I started losing weight it's nice to be in a "normal" weight range was 8.10 on my own scales this morning! Ww scales weigh me as more! I do on my legs and tummy... Sorry for undies pics lol

Some inspiration if anyone needs it :)

Mango much better than sweeties! I think what's really damaging is the ill just have x chocolate as a treat mentality a lot of people have...it's not a treat for your body! By all means don't deprive your self but a little in moderation! Yeah I enjoyed the gym a nice bit of me time :D think I'll...

Everyone needs a little brake from time to time the main thing is you get right back on it :) I have no idea what I'll be eating today and off to the gym for 1 it's a legs day so this will be painful lol

Well I'm ravenous it's probably because I have no smokes :/ had a banana an orange and a plum having an options hot chocolate and pack of quavers! :( I have no weeklys left due to the alcohol ! Going for a food shop tomorrow so will make sure I get lots of fruit. I know I've messed up this week...

So lunch had the love of my life banana pancake with yogurt and berries :D dinner had a jacket spud with beans if I need anything else today I'll stick to fruit :)

Back to reality then! 2 crumpets with a extra light cheese triangle. No idea what I'll be having the rest of the day! Most likely a banana pancake!

Had a crumpet and extra light cheese an options hot chocolate and more yogurt and berries :/

So food today (I've been a baddie because I'm hung over) a packet of quavers a sandwich (same as yesterday) banana pancake with berries and yogurt, don't know if I'm having anything else today :/

Sweeteners are free on f&h I think!

Normal :) it's just eggs and banana I'm in love with them <3 haha

Jacket spud with tuna and cottage cheese then time to hit the town! I will try to be good!

Skinny latte is free on f&h? Skimmed milk and coffee...

Well crumpets and cottage cheeses for breakfast will be having a skinny latte when I go to town no idea what for the rest of the day..,

Nope , it's just banana and 2 eggs mixed together! I put the 0% yogurt on top because they can get a bit dry.

Yeah but if I count points I can't resist because I feel so restricted if that makes sense?! You should try them they are lovely! 2 eggs mashed up banana beaten together and chucked in a pan lol

It's not I was wasting mine on junk tbh :/ lied about dinner made banana pancake put yogurt and blueberries on it, yum yum!

I know! I'm loving it :D

Haha I love cottage cheese :D

Food for today...2 slices brown ww toast blueberries and yogurt, lunch crumpets with cottage cheese and ham, banana & a 1point ww chocolate digestive. Dinner I have no idea what I want just yet... Pasta possibly

Wow that's a lot I don't think I'd use all that lol

About 2 stone since October I switched from Cambridge so it's been slow and steady 5lb of goal but not sure my body is going to let me lose anymore! Will see what happens next week! :) I really do love this plan don't know why I didn't try it sooner! Just knowing I'm going to be full what ever I...

Will give it another week, so I follow the same plan but drop the daily treats for 49 weekly pro points on f&h?

Well it's a sts this week at 8.12 I think my body is going to start stalling :/

I'm so completely stuffed! I will be super shocked if I do get a loss.... I have a night out this weekend so (If I've lost any) will stick to this but add weekly points so I can have a few cheeky vodka diet cokes! Fingers crossed for tomorrow's wi!!! I've stuck to it (from what I understand) so...

My god I'm soooo full today! I've had my eggs and crumpets my left over veggies from last night with a dollop of cottage cheese porridge blueberrys with 0% yogurt instead of doing a moussaka I cooked up the extra lean mince with an onion a few spices and a tin of tomatoes and had with whole meal...

Means I can go to bed earlier! :D lol!!! Extra lean steak mince is ok to use right?

And on my own scale I've lost a pound! :D high hopes for wi this week I'd be over the moon at two pound!!!

Good morning! Been up since 7.30 time for breakfast poached egs and crumpets!! Going to make moussaka type thing for dinner haven't decided on lunch yet

That's the crunches push ups wall sits done have 40 squats left to do, had a good walk around town today only had one of my "treats" :) best do this last 40 squats! Going 30day shred once I'm done with the challenges hopefully I will have stopped smoking by then! Would love to have a go at...

So breakfast was crumpets with scrambled egg and a cup of tea for lunch I have some left over veggies from last night was thinking mix them up with quark and have with a baked potato, was thinking asparagus and haddock for dinner for a snack 0% yogurt with fruit and will most likely have both...

Brilliant :)

Yeah it's vile I think a study on male rats was done that's about it! Grr scum bags! First day of simple start was ok I was so full fingers crossed it works! Xx

Hi all first day of simple start today, I'm really nervous I'm going to gain weight I've been pp since October, 5lb from goal! The ladies in my group have had some amazing losses (I had my first gain this week only half a pound but I'm devastated, I went ott with food and booze so my own fault)...

I had this problem when trying to go back to ss so I did step 2 and still lost maybe do step 2 for a few week see if it helps at all? You have done well so far just try to focus on the end game now!

Fingers crossed! The best part of the plan is everyone likes the things on the list!

Thank you so much will have a snoop on other peoples diarys to get some ideas, think I've grasped the basics... Hopefully I'll get a loss!

Ohh also added wall sits and easy push ups to my challenges I'm shocked 20 seconds wall sit hurt as did my whole 4 push ups! It's rest day on squats and crunches!

So the morning of my simple start/filling and healthy week 8.11 on my scales (5lb off goal) breakfast was gorgeous had porridge made with water topped with blueberries and cinnamon, (and I'm stuffed) for lunch I'll be having crumpets and poached eggs for dinner I'm doing roasted chicken and...

What's acceptable as a treat? My leader said 2 weetabix with milk is a treat? I can have as much skimmed milk as I want? So so confused! :( I won't be at all happy if I gain again...

And any crumpets are ok?

Hi, been doing ww pro points for a bit, 5lb off target now I lost every week apart from this week...had a heavy weekend and was off plan..put half a pound on...I had expected worse! Anyways my leader keeps banging on and on about giving it a go, the whole thing confuses me a bit... So if I were...

a loss is a loss though :) I have some ketostix I don't think I'm going to use again (almost a full tub) if you would like them, some pharmacies are bit funny about selling them as they are meant for diabetics.

Just pushing crap on people that are desperate saying they increase metabolic rate is bull! The bigger you are the higher it is... Grr!!! Right well half a pound on, so I got my self a pedomiter it suggests I do I 8000 steps a day! First time I've ever put on... I did expect it...

thanks will keep fingers crossed it's a sts and not a gain! So I keep seeing these adds on Facebook and they make me so mad! It's vile they can pray on overweight people in such a way...pictures of Jennifer Ellison (who did Cambridge) and Pauline quirk (I think that's her name) did lighter life...

Eek! Wi tomorrow really not excited about it this week! :/ will wait and see...

So everything done crunches and squats wise got a bit of a sweat on from the squats lol

Well crunches done and squats started, I'm getting used to the squats I'm going deeper with them everyday but I'm splitting them up over the course of the day I will still get the benefit by doing so! I'm happy I'm just doing something, any gym bunnies will likely laugh at how little I'm doing...

Hehe :) still well done!

it is hard pfft just having a down day I think, no didn't go out put makeup on a decided I looked terrible so wasn't leaving the house :( Bleh in a right mood with my self fingers crossed I feel better tomorrow.

I don't know what's wrong with me today feeling dead frumpy :(

Well that's squats and crunches done think I'll get all dolled up and have a walk in to town, I need some new boots as the sole on mine is ripping off!

Just keep it up :) you will need to have a little extra on days you work out but the main thing is you have made a start :)

hehe :) good you got started! It doesn't matter really if you're good or not just that you are trying is the main thing :) haha I can't do push ups even the girly ones on knees I can maybe do 2 lol. On day 5 now of squats it's 70 to do today...done 20 so far thankfully it says you can spilt them...

hopefully he will pick up on it soon! Well crunches done :)

It's a rest day from the squats tomorrow so I think I'll start the crunch one as my face isn't feeling so bad and like it's going to explode! My legs aren't half sore tbh lol

thanks so much!

I try to not care as much as I do but i think I'm getting obsessed with it now :( my mums is the same, saying no amount of exercise will fix it... I'm giving it a go, will give it until June and if it's not changing by then I'm seriously considering a loan to pay for surgery! I've used a few...

Ok so here we have better pictures of the vile belly...it's that pouch I need help with! :( well the whole thing needs toned tbh! Squats day 3... Slightly hung over and aching best get started!

Day 2 on the squats done :) can actually feel it in my legs!

I'm exactly the same, apart from the knee I just have clicky bones and smoke :( ! Well if he is going to become a personal trainer it will be good practice for both of you! :D I'd take his hand off (ok I'd probably whine at every ache or pain) but still! Hahahaha well I've done today's 50...

I think I'll just buy the app it's £2 on iTunes App Store looks pretty decent and like it won't take up to much time! Think I'll start today with the squats as I have a sinus infection and if I bend my head to far down I feel like my face will explode!

anythings worth a go! I do enjoy my little jogs but the weather is just so terrible I just want to stay in and drink tea! I'll have a little look, if it's free I'll give it a go lol :D

Right here we go mummy tummy pic... Yuck! The pouch makes me sick and the lack of any sort of belly button! I can't believe how much lose skin I have... I can pull out more than a handful on my belly hips thighs and bingo wings! I need some help with these areas badly! I just don't really know...

that's pretty much what I do ;) x

Yeah it really is brilliant but I had quite a bit to lose that's why I did Cambridge first :D I've had a few meals out etc but stuck to salad and chicken mainly hehe xx

But today I've ate loads :/ porridge, tuna pasta, latte, ww toffee popcorn bar, 2mini milk ways (celebrations) banana yogurt and will be having my hot choc later..

I stick to my points every day! I don't eat to much junk tbh I'd rather stuff my face with vege! I do use my weekly points on alcohol :/ I tend to stick to vodka diet coke or low cal wine! I do point EVERY THING that goes in my body, even if I forget to add something of my "night out" I usually...

Well having a chat with my mother We decided points would work better for her! She is 5ft 7 and weighs 15stone I figured her points to be around the 28 mark and told her to get the app as that will give her the actual points allowance. I personally don't like the "filling and healthy" plan. I...

Well wi day! 2.5lb off! :D took my mother along today with them on about this filling and healthy plan all it did was confuse me so god knows what my mother thinks... I point blank refused to do it, what I'm doing now is working fine and I love it! Only 5lb from my ww goal.....hopefully by the...

good good I hope it helps :) keep up the good work! Don't forget to take some me time! Can't beat a good hot bath :D hehe x

Woo! Go Fay! That's awesome, so happy for you! Look at the positives at least you only had chicken :) could have been a lot worse! Well done :)

Yay :D good job lady keep it up! You know it works! Will be at goal in no time :D xx

I'm trying, I wouldn't say anything to her I think that's what she wants! Keep telling my self this!!!

heh I have a little girl :) it most defiantly is, why as adults do we find something so simple so hard to do! I think I'm having a bout of depression again thankfully doctor appointment on 15th, hopefully it will stop some of the whinging!!!

I'm sure it will all come with time, learning to love and accept your self must be one of the hardest life lessons to learn :)

she is a pain in the arse! I think she just likes to put me down, some strange power trip thing maybe... I think with being over weight we turn in to our own worst critic and hold on to the ugly things people have said, if we can't let go of that ugliness that's all we see?! Or maybe it's a bit...

Ha! Just been informed my sister that was really unsupportive is now doing Cambridge... Double standards much...maybe I'm being childish but I'm just thinking to my self can you let me have anything?! She got blessed with the beautiful face tiny waste and has never had a weight problem she's...

I'm sure you will do fantastically :D good look x

Treated to a meal out again...Sunday carvery! I opted for Turkey skipped the potatoes and piled the cabbage carrots and turnip. A wee bit of gravy and freshly made cranberry sauce... Oh and Yorkshire pud that I could have done without! But all in all it was gorgeous and aside from the Yorkshire...

in total since my separation from the ex husband I've lost 5stone... This is month 7 since I started! It's really changed my life :) (seem to be partying more than ever, was supposed to have 2 weeks off but my sister has showed up with wine and brought me some dinner, chicken and broccoli yum)...

Sick sick sick sick sick of these damned migraines! :(

it is but I think if you are going every week it will keep you focused x

I honestly think it's the best way, they all (vlcd) work the same way and at least when you get to the goal with ww you can go for free :D x

thank you :D I absolutely love ww! Lost every week not as fast as Cambridge but a nice steady rate I know what I can and can't eat and the weekly points are a life saver if I have a night out or anything planed, I eat loads of vegetables etc and always go for the low fat/calorie options! I...

thank you, just about at goal now :D x

Ah Fay you will have anything gained off within the first week :)

thank you :)

At the end of the day at Christmas people do try feed you... It's always the wrong things! You need to forgive your self and just get right back to 100% you done it before you will do it again :) welcome back!

Well in our group today 5lb was lost over Christmas 2 of witch were mine :D

Well back to official wi tomorrow! Eek! Feeling a bit bad about it because over this festive period I have wayyy to much alcohol! If I'm the same weight I was before Christmas or less I'll be over the moon! The scales will judge... But hey ho last meal out tomorrow Eve then back to normal! Must...

Happy new year! Xx

Molly you still around? Xx

thank you very much!! :) xx

Aww thank you :D you will do that no problem at all just stick with it and remember you're worth it, it's for you and you will look fabulous on your big day!! You are right about the mummy tummy the stretch marks I don't mind at all it's just that it hangs like an apron! Going the workout route...

You make a good point :) now as for the only negative with losing weight is this mummy pouch... I want a tummy tuck :( not the best picture as I'm lying down but this is currently my biggest hang up ... I don't even have a belly button it's just a cross!it just hangs there!! Need to start doing...

thanks doll :D lots of hard work but soo worth it, my self worth has increased tenfold xx

You will be back in to the swing of it in no time :) x

Thanks doll it was a gift from my sister :) I don't think I'd make a habit of warring spanks not the most comfortable of things! It's terrible how people treat you so differently when you lose weight, throw some makeup on and a nice dress.. that said..I didn't have...

An update! Ok I do have spanks on because of the mummy pouch

Looking average now :D even though I have spanks on because that dress and a mummy pouch do not work!

Well no wi this week given the season :( according to my own scales I've lost a pound so fingers crossed when I'm back next week it will still show a loss :)

:( I'm sorry to hear you're feeling so horrible, I hope the therapy helps, best thing I did was admit my problems to a doctor and get help, this along with the weight going down has improved my life an unreal amount. We all know you can and will get to goal, everyone is behind you 100% believe...

:'( insomnia go away!

Merry Christmas! I hope we all can still lose a few pounds, have a wonderful time :D lots of love xx

I'm so excited! lol :D really can't wait to see her face! Wi was 1lb off it's going slow but it's the right direction :D now the thing I'm dreading is Christmas dinner, not so much the dinner I know what to avoid and will just stick to veggies and turkey and a tad of gravy, it's the starter and...

Well it's wi day tomorrow! Fingers crossed it's a decent amount! I can't believe Christmas is only a week away! Can't wait to see me gorgeous baby girls face light up when she opens her prezzies!! :D <3 xx

it really is horrid and I smell of biscuits
