Hi hun,
:( I know how you feel about the oh seeing you naked when you're not 'at it', totally different ball game..
but, genuinely, he sounds like he loves you anyway. He's seen it before with you. Don't compare yourself to his ex or anyone else for that matter.
He's with you for you, and...
Lol - I totally agree with you. My boyfriend bought me a slanket for christmas (in brown, to go with the brown and cream living room lol) and it's with me EVERY night when I sit on the sofa and watch tv.
It is sooooo cwtchy and warm - it's fab! Brilliant! Also... got my arms nicely through...

Well, i've stayed away for a while because when I was full of cold I...

Well... i'm restarting again today!!! :( I have bird flu and was...
Well, I'd opt for hair loss, constipation, diarrhoea, sleepiness, anaemia and irregular periods any day rather than ...
diabetes, heart disease and strokes etc to which i'm leaning towards right now if I didn't lose the weight.
lol - jobsworth eh? Some have nothing better to right about xxx
I'm sure it's normal lol
When I first started CD I couldn't sleep, and when I did it was very broken with weird dreams.
I always dreamt about food, the amount of Cooked Roast Dinners i'd eaten in my sleep was mad - always relieved that I hadn't actually eaten it tho.. phew :)
Ohh I missed that...
Not sure if I believe in it - but.... any great advice or help in any way shape or form would be a good start.
What channel was it on and i'll see if i can get a repeat online or something?
Thanks x
Afternoon Angels...
Great thread Sarah - i'm sure we'll all be a great help and inspiration for each other.
Well, my goal is still the same as it was before christmas.. I need to get under 20stone!!! *sigh* was hoping to do it before christmas so I could try a cartwheel and a backflip of...
Jimmyshoo -OOOHHH hiya hun...
Well done, how organised do you sound ;) That's fab.
Good luck for your weigh in.
Girlies - this is gonna be a good year for us, can feel it in my water :p
Morning all....
Ooohh we have newbies... excellent! Welcome aboard... our home is your home kinda thing hehe cheesy! lol but.. i mean it :p
Jessie - I can't believe santa didn't bring you an i-pod :( gutted! Nevermind... a loony woman walking your streets singing to herself will last...
Ohh, I asked my cdc these questions about mints, chewing gums and anything for the breath..
She advised me against chewing gums, said I could have the sugar free ones but the motion of chewing 'apparently' makes you more hungry.
Anyway, cut a long story short...
she told me to give mints...
Heyyyyy Girlies!
I'm (like yourselves!) BACK! and as from tomorrow morning, i'm back on SS with full force!!
Nothing... I repeat nothing is going to pull me off it. Going to make it 6 months at least, hopefully 9 and be at my goal (ish)
New year - New start and i'm sure we'll all be here...
TEAMIES!!!
Ohhhhh firstly.... Happy New Year
Secondly - Sorry I fell off the end of the earth, and the wagon same time!! Fancy that eh? lol
Oh, soooo annoyed with myself - it really wasn't worth coming off ss at all! I've gained 11lbs! lmao! only ate 1 vol -au- vont, but... everything...
I'm well up for the staying on it for a long time! NOTHING is going to bring me off it !
I think you should make a new thread Sarah hun.. everyone on here has said what they have 'gained' this christmas (some have been really good tho) so I think we (you ;) lol) should start another positive...
Hey Sarah babe... thanks for pm! Kinda kicked me up the bum to get back onto this site because it's fab!
Well, I have just weighed (since reading your pm lol) and i'm gained.... wait for it... wait for it.. LOL! bloody 11lbs!!!! :D ARRRRRGH!
Well.. i'm not surprised! I've eaten like a pig...
Well, that'll teach me for cheating...
Spend the day in hospital yesterday on IV painkillers, apparently i have gall stones which was triggered by my eating Tuesday night. Been in agony :(
Haven't been able to face any food or shakes since.. :( not nice!
waiting for scan and according...
Woah Abz - big difference :D Well done :D:D Nice red dress too! :D
Oh, I know it's my own fault , but oh my god am i ill today! :( Crying in pain this morning, all over. Stomach, sides, back... and i feel really sick.. but the pain is really painful :(
Serves me right for cheating! :(
Back...
Oh well.... :(
I was so tempted, then I got weighed and yes, as I thought I've lost 3lbs. Then... my cdc said that she wasn't going to be seeing anyone next week or the week after so I wouldn't get weighed anyway to see if i'd reached my goal :( which, tipped me over the edge and I went to...
Grrrr, this is so annoying! Those things, loss of hair, brain damage etc could have happened even without the cd or lighter life! People are always to eager to look for something to blame ..like diets.... idiots!
Hi all,
Thanks Abz - I'm deffo going to try some this week, so far, the both mentioned I am going to get.
Go for it Sarah.. GO GIRL! i'm sure you'll get your 7lbs off this week :)
:( I'm on a downer! don't know what it is, I'm going to weigh in tonight and i'm thinking of having a meal...
Lol Sarah - it's the festive season hunny, we'll save the kick up the bum until the new years :D I'm sure we'll all need one then :)
This time of year is crazy! and never mind about staying the same, it's so much better than putting on weight. :) so, well done.
Moti - Well done for being...
:smiley1842::bliss::bliss::bliss::bliss:YAY! WELL DONE JIMMYSHOO!!
You've whomped the 2st mark hunny and some :D

Well, i'm still plodding on strong with the diet, really looking forward to my christmas eve vol-au-vonts tho...
Well done Moti, that's great!
It does seem really quiet :( I usually pop on everyday but nothing much happening. I guess everyone is pretty busy this time of year.
Hi Jimmyshoo, how you doing hun?
I can't believe how quiet everyone has gone :(
I changed my name because it was my real name, and when googled it came up with what i'd been saying on minimins.. not something I really want others to know. lol i know it's sad googling names of people but...

Girlies...its only 9lbs to go before I'm under 20st! oh goood god i can't wait :D so excited! If it's done within the next two weeks i'll be ecstatic! If not.. nevermind, it will come :)

Hi All
I've recently changed my sig from my full name to just T because Igoogled my name (messing about! ... sad!) and everything i've written on minimins came up :( I'm mortyfied! I'm so embarassed, I thought these posts were private and didn't realise they were traceable.
I'd never talk...

Jimmyshoo - HAPPY ANNIVERSARY hunny! aww i know you've got a long day at work...
Aww hun, if that's the best option for you... go for it and best of luck chick.
oi... you'd better pop in and see us girlie... lol you'll be missed otherwise ;) xx
Hi hun,
just going by your original question... I'd be upset about it.
I broke up my husband of 10 years a couple of years ago and he's always been a friend of my brothers. Even though they were friends, I still felt a bit betrayed by my brother when they would go out together... as in, he...
Just in to record my weight loss... only 2lbs this week (totm) but i've been 100% good on the diet... biggie next week I hope!
You're all doing fabulous! Great start Katie.. well done x
LOL - Jessie - I was telling my OH about you earlier and he was laughing at the thought of a woman walking a dog singing that song hehe. V funny!
Well, I've had my weigh in and lost 2lbs this week. I've been 100% and totm so I'm ok with that, but really hoping for a boost next week. I'm still...
Evening All..
I totally agree with the GP thing, EVERYTHING is to do with weight. Especially as I don't smoke so they can't blame that first lol
Well, i've lost 2lbs this week :confused:. I can't complain though, totm and all that and I have been 100% good so hopefully it will come off next...
SARAH!! YAY!! Welcome back hunny.... don't worry about the eating.. whats a few platefuls between friends eh? :D:D
Only 23 days to go hun, and good luck. YES WE CAN DO IT!!
Randomgurl- you're right hun, i'm not going to be disheartened :D I'm still very much positive;)
Weigh in at 6...
Fair play to you Allykat for being prepared for the meal. You're idea is brill to check out the menu firt... good thinking ;)
This time of year there's always 'do's' be it with family, friends or work... it makes the diet that much harder! PAIN!
Well, I've got my weigh in tonight and i've been...
LMAO! :8855: Who ya gonna call *GHOSTBUSTERS*
Here's something for you to keep going on with.... hehe
GHOSTBUSTERS
If there's something strange

Who ya gonna call?
GHOSTBUSTERS
If there's something weird
and it don't look good
Who ya gonna call?
GHOSTBUSTERS
I ain't...
Great words Jessie hun.. it is tough, but you're both doing fantastic.
WELL DONE for your loss this week chick... fabulous! i'm dead chuffed for u!
Everything u said there is sooo true hun...
Don't forget tho, i have a serious amount of weight to lose so don't let that dishearten you :)...
Evening all...
Firstly - Randomgurl - Woooohooo! GO GIRL!!
Excellent doing...hmmm good thinking about asking santa not to put carbs in your stocking, i'll try it (but i know im going to be havnig carbs, but will live it out for the day)
Allykat - Sounds like you've got it all planned out...
Well.... i'm going to eat over christmas (as i've been counting down the days until i do lol) and then i'm straight back onto ss for another few months :) I'm determined to lose the weight this time .. I think the diet is great, but i'm deffo having christmas off :D
What about you? What are...
lol! that's fine... it doesn't bother me at all :) My OH eats chocolates, biscuits, crisps and everything... doesn't bother me one bit. It'll only last 5 minutes in my mouth... so what's the point :D
Hi Everyone..
Leeds - don't stress honey! Right ok.. let's see.
I'd recommend you stick to just shakes hun, I asked my CDC about bars and she told me that I was doing ok with the shakes and the bars would 'ever so slightly' slow things down because there are a few more carbs in them. So...
I'm on SS, and it's coming to the end of my 5th week. So far I've stuck it 100% and I intend to until Christmas eve but then i'm going to have food.. :D So, it's keeping me focused, if it wasn't for me thinking about that, i think i'd have fallen off the wagon lol
How are you finding the diet...
Hi Allykat -
I'm ok thanks hun, same as usual... 'fancying' food something chronic, but I'm holding out.
Ohh your meal sounds lovely lol :D
How's things hun?
lol - Jessie.. next you're going to be singing the theme from Ghostbusters, or even Never Ending Story as you'll be running out of good songs soon ;) Good luck for tomorrow's weigh in hun xx
Leeds - well done hun.. you're certainly going the right direction :) Nice one ;) How are those good...
Hi everyone..
Allykat - Well done for surving the party hun... must have been hard, but well done.
Hi Abz - awww hope you get better soon hun. I don't remember Alistair from fame academy. I remember a 'Nigel' who had a really great rock kinda voice and I loved him... he didn't last long on...
LOL Jessie..
I have a picture in my head of a woman walking a dog singing the lady marmalade song now... hehe!
I really do hope you're going to lose the 6lbs this week chick, it'll give you sooo much motivation to carry on, it'll be really great! BEST of luck xx
Your mini Veg kebabs...
I'm on week 5 and i've not cheated ... even a tiny bit i have not. I started at 22st 13lbs and 'only' lost 8lbs first week. So, you done well to lose 7lbs and not stuck to it... that's great!
It does get easier, a lot easier! Im in the same rut as u as for the brain saying it's eating time...
Jimmyshoo - aww bless, hope you DH has a speedy recovery. Good luck with your weigh in tomorrow and enjoy your shopping.
How is everyone today? WHERE has everyone disappeared to?
YAY! Well done chick... you must be chuffed, especially when you weren't expecting it either... NICE ONE ;)
Allykat - are you still in ketosis hunny? Well done for the meal though, you sounded like you done everything right ;) well done
How's everyone?
I'm sad, but I really like these kinda things lol... Never have only one answer tho... sorry to bore you!
Q1) How tall are you and what would you like to be your ideal weight? 5'6 and 11 stone
Q2) What's your favourite film? Mamma Mia & You've Got Mail
Q3) What's your favourite perfume? Calvin...
Yasmine-Samara - Unfortunately, some people are total arse holes through their lives :(
Reading your post, I really, really felt for you (reminded me of being back at school) and while kids are cruel you always expect it to stop when we 'grow up'. Some.. clearly never do.
Understandably...
Hi girls,
Jessie - WELL DONE HUN!!! That's great achievement to get your boots zipped up. All the little things like that give us such a massive amount of inspiration. Well done.. and also, nice one for passing the pastries and crisps ;) Well done (crips are my fav things in the world...
Evening all, how we all doing?
Abz - hope that chest infection held off honey. Sounds like you're doing well. Monday will be around soon enough and hopefully you'll register a lost ;) good luck hun.
Allykat - 4lb eh hun?! WELL DONE! marvellous weight loss, hopefully the other stone you want...
Hiya...
I'm feeling ok today hun, so far i've lost 24lbs and i'm on my 5th week so i feel really positive.
Lillypop, you have done amazingly well :D Really inspiration hun, well done.
I'm setting mini goals for myself, and I think it's well achievable and as the weeks go on, it's true...
Morning team..
How we all doing?
Jimmyshoo - thanks, I REALLY can't wait to get under 20st too.. it'll be amazing for me! How are you feeling today? Hope your nice sleep has left you feeling refreshed..

hi Danny,
you've come to the right place hun, you'll have all the support you want here, whichever diet you choose to follow.
Good luck hun, hope it all works out for you xx
Hi hun,
I didn't want to read and run so I thought i'd say hi.. i'm an amateur at Cambridge Diet and there are LOADS of really inspiring people on here who will no doubt help you in your questions.
I started off at 321lbs and i've lost 24lbs in 4 weeks exactly and i've stuck to it 100%, no...
Well done Yasmine Samara, that's a great start and only after 5 days????? WOW! I think this thread is going to be great, and the closer we get to March... it's going to be exciting :D
LOL at you and the 'heddlu'
Ohh god, i'd love to have a few pounds spare over for the vol-au-vonts! lol :D If i lose just 4lbs this next week, i'm in the 20stone bracket... woohoo!
We haven't really gone far on the bikes (OH passed his test same time/day as me too) my OH's family are from...
Well done hun :D That's brilliant...YAY! WELL DONE
Hey... have a good night out every week chick, it's working lol
I'm sure we'll all be pleased by Christmas :) Well done :D
Rachelina - Awww :( How bloody annoying is that!!
Some people just 'dont think'!
Good for you though, you can do it hun.. and how great will you feel then! :D good luck xx
Aww hun, it is hard regarding nibbling. I fight it every day, and sometimes I think i'm going to cave in. but so far i've been ok...
I weigh sooo much chick that's how the weigh losses I get are a bit more than others. Chin up, even if it's a 1lb you're losing it's still pointing in the right...
I've just been weighed... I lost 6lbs this week and feel GREAT!!
I love weigh days when I've lost, it's a great feeling, hmm during the week though I think i'm a right old moody cow lol
So, only 18lbs more and i'll be 19st 13! lol :D Can't wait!!! Hopefully, fingers crossed it 'could' be...
YAY! Well done Randomgurl :) You've raised a whack loads and for a really good cause. Nice one ;)
Hopefully hun, you won't have put on weight this week, good luck... let us know :)
Drinking aside.. did you enjoy? (lol at drinking aside... that's the best bit!)
Must have been nice for you...
I see what you mean Pete, I know you're right...
Oh and 'when' I get to goal, I know in my heart of hearts it will never go back on. Also, when the day does come that he starts... i'll be right behind him x
I'm with you there hun, it will... it will deffo come off ;)
Well, i'm off now to blitz the house to keep me busy before weigh in.. will check in tonight to see how you all are (and hopefully, record a loss!!)
Catch u later
Good post!! :D
My OH is 6'2 and weighs 21st 5lbs. Got a bit of a belly but is sooo broad that he generally carries it well. Don't get me wrong, he does tell me he needs to go on a diet tho.
While I'm doing CD he said that he might try it one day. He's very supportive but if I say Im tempted...
LMAO! Hmmm I might give the porridge a go now!! :D
Well, I only describe the forbidden foods in that kinda way. I don't know if it's my imagination or not but the M&S adverts are on the tele more these days!!! Probably because Christmas is coming up, but I swear.... it's because i'm on a diet...
Ohhh well, sounds good to me. I'll look into them for when I go back to work in January. Will be really handy! Great :D
Ooh, sounds like a nice afternoon hun. Enjoy xx
Well done Leeds! it's even harder to get back to it after having a few nibbles, so... pat yourself on the back and well done for last night :)
When is your weigh day hun?
Like you say, even if you maintain your weight this week, a good week next week will show for you :D and it'll all be...
Morning Abz,
yeah I'm feeling motivated hun, weigh in number 4 this evening so a bit nervous.
However, I did write this on another thread so sorry if I bore you...it's a bit of a story..
I always liked low rider motorbikes, the ones with the shiny chrome etc, at first said I was too fat...
Morning Angels,
Hope you're all having a good day.
Good on you Abz, keep glugging hun and it will deffo shift soon! :) Fingers crossed for you hunny!
Ohh Moti - i'm sure you'll be in that outfit soon :D How thrilling is that going to feel :D Good on you hun. Are you going to buy it now...
Good Morning all... How are we all today?
Jessie... Cheese on sticks? ;) I'm THERE! lol No i'm not an events organiser, I don't think i'd be able to do that, i'd be forever worrying if things were done good enough.
I really do have this diet to thank for me being organised myself, I just...
Awww Moti - what's a little cocktail sausage between friends eh? nothing hun..... :) good luck though, you can do it hunny ;)
Gailt - good luck tomorrow hun, fingers crossed for you.
Abz - i like your way of thinking ;)
Allykat - have you come from under your duvet yet? :D lol it is cold...
I agree with you totally Sarah, this thread has been great to read, thank you. I know it can be done and you're all proof of that.
Taking it one day at a time is deffo the way to go.
I've got my 4th weigh in tomorrow and I'm really pleased after a month, i'm setting my goals small enough so...
lol Jimmyshoo,
I'll come and help organise it no problem, just keep me away from the vol-au-vonts i've been fancying from the start of this diet ....mmmm yummie!
Sounds like a plan for your overnight stays hun, good for you ;) Ohh and wrapping christmas prezzies is lovely :)
Good luck for...
Thanks everyone...
You're all such an inspiration. You're right about it being a way of life badger, and i'm really hoping this part of my life will fly by too.
Losing all that weight in 6 months for all of you is just amazing, and 6 months isn't long at all. I am more than prepared to stick...
Hi all,
Well tonight, I was wondering what weight I need and want to get down to. If I was speaking now, I'd say a nice healthy size 16 or something but... in reality that's not healthy.
I've worked out I need to be 11st to have a bmi of 24.9 which is the top end of the scale.
It's quite...
Hi Allykat,
Glad to see another one of us is awake at this silly hour...
one thing is guaranteed hun, you deffo will be a lot lighter by Christmas. I've got 24lbs to go for the 3 stone I wanted off, but I don't think it's do-able... but, chin up and nevermind if we don't actually make it...
Hi there ickle87,
Welcome to minimins hun, its a great site and you'll have loads of inspiration from some wonderful people.
I'm 31 years old and my starting weight was 22st 13lbs (even though i was up to 24st 4lbs at one stage) I'm on the cambridge diet and coming to the end of my 4th week...
Welcome to minimins Muppet.
This is a great site and it'll give you all the encouragement and inspiration that you're going to need.
Dieting isn't easy, but it is made easier with Minimins.
Good luck hun xx
YAY! WELL DONE SARAH!! 6lbs is greeeeeeeeeeat hun!
4lbs a week till christmas? i'm sooo hoping we can do it. Well, i've got 24lbs to go in 5 week... 4.8lbs a week and i'll be under 20st. I really don't think i'll do it by Christmas though... shame but like you, postitive thinking...... I'm...
Hi Lins,
I am deffo up for that hun. I've got more than 6st to lose aswell. Currently 'in the red corner, weighing in at....' 21st 9lbs so far! I aim to get under 20st by Christmas... it would mean so so so so so much to me :( I haven't been under 20st for YEARS so it really does mean loads...
Morning everyone..
Jimmyshoo - :( OMG! Why do people have to be so damn pig ignorant?! Just take it from where it comes from hun. The people who are not jealous are all telling you how much you've lost and how fab you look etc, so that's lovely. It's only the bitter jealous ones who will...
Oooooooooooh some Turkey sounds lovely Allykat... the image I have is of a nice one coming out of the oven... LOL i'm having a bad day, I want something to eat, not that you'd ever tell ?! lol
How you all doing Christmas Angels?
The time is flying by and Christmas is getting closer, how are...
I used the shaker for the first week or so for every shake. I didn't find a problem with it, and I'm fussy! I hate the thought of having lumps in it, the only reason I changed to a blender thingy is that my arm was getting tired with the shaking lol :)
Evening girlies... (well, it's kinda late!)
I'm struggling today, I want to eat......... again! I feel like this most days and how I struggle through I don't know so, the days aren't going fast enough for me.
I've only got one more prezzie to get for my dad, and i'm done! This is the first...
Hi Angels,
Woah! I haven't posted for a while, but you know what.. I can tell Christmas is getting closer because everyone is closer to their goals and you all must be feeling fab! Well done.. you're all doing a great job.
Ohh and i've never heared of Bravissimo before.. taking a peak now...
Hi Teamies...
Firstly.... Don't beat yourself up about pizza's, rice, chocolate. What done is done. You're right Jessie, even if it's a few pounds between now and Christmas it's still closer to where you want to be.
I've been out for the last few days so haven't really had much time to come...
Hi there Allycat,
Of course you can join us. There's lovely people on this thread, really inspiring. Just jump on in and if ever you need a bit of a pick me up, there are definitely the girls to speak too.. welcome aboard chick, i'm sure you'll lose your 2st before Christmas ;) Good Luck...
We've done fabulous :D
Hey Jessie.. i promise you, the cheese on sticks are yours lol I might pinch the one before handing them to you tho ;)
Little bit of what we fancy will do us the world of good. What's great for me is, if I do manage to get to 19st 13lbs... I know I won't over eat...

Oh and have you noticed, they never give ferrero...
Good Evening Christmas angels, how are we all doing today?
Well, i'm watching I'm a celebrity get me out of here at the moment while sitting on the sofa with my laptop... relaxed!
Well... i'm over my 'breakdown' (lol) from yesterday now, ohh god I was soo upset and annoyed. So, I took myself...
Thanks hun - i'll have to suggest something :sigh:
:) I think i'll go to bed early tonight... get a bloody grip! :) i'll be back on here tomorrow..happy and inspired!
Thanks again hun xx
:( Oh i don't know hun, everything just feels like it's getting on top of me. I want to feel normal again, sit down and have a meal. My and my OH have been really distant since starting this damn diet, we don't do anything together. So, I find that i'm always 'on my own'. :( I know some people...
Good Luck Wannabslim, hope it goes well for you.
I've got my weigh in tomorrow, and I think i'm at breaking point! I'm going to have something to eat tomorrow after i've been to weigh :( I hope I change my mind tomorrow but at the moment, i think i'm going to have to!
Abz - Hope you feel...
Hi Jessie,
Last night was hard hun. I'm too quiet when I'm sober and get embarassed easily! My friends were drunk and messing about and I was cringing with embarassment while laughing. Not good, usually i'm soo happy go lucky and very much a happy drunk lol I miss it! But.... I done it, but...
Hi girls....
Leeds - you've done bloody marvellous on your goal in such a short time... well done you!! You must be so proud of yourself. :D well done hunni!
Jessie - LOL at the wine glass being la-di-dah! I am such a typical tom boy, pint of lager/strongbow, game of pool or darts.... water...
Lostris - It makes it so much easier when people are supportive of this diet, glad it's that way for you hun. Can't beat a good chick flick either!! :D Men just pretend they don't like them, but I think they do really.
Sounds like you're going to have a great laugh over Christmas hun... and if...
Hi Moti,
I am deffo not sticking to it over Christmas! The only thing that is keeping me going is knowing that I'm going to have food Christmas Eve. We're having a family do at my mothers on Christmas day, but on Christmas eve I'm doing a buffet here for my mam and dad, me and oh. I have been...
Hi Moti,
The crisps aren't all that nice anyway hun, something to crunch on but that's it. I won't be having them again unless i'm desperately in need of a munch!
I'm looking forward to I'm a celeb tonight too. Something to pass the time every evening to take us closer to christmas. How long...
Hi hun,
LOL -you're tv nights sound lovely!
Deffo those dreams are weird, so glad to wake up though and realise it was just a dream...:) It's mad though how much food/drink interfere with our lives!! I don't have a social life while being on this diet!! AT ALL! Last night was a trial and...
Hi girlies,
Jessie - I had my tap water with ice last night and they put it in a wine glass! My friends went to the bar and just got water while they were getting their drinks so I didnt feel too bad and didn't have to go to the bar and just as for 'a glass of water'. I thought it was weird...
Morning angels,
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh 39 sleeps, Yes!! :D It's getting closer to the day I'm going to have something to eat... CANT WAIT! lol I dreamt I drunk a diet coke last night... was relieved when I woke up ! MAD!
Thanks Abz and Moti - last night was ok, it deffo wasn't the same tho and I...
Thanks Abz - I'll do exactly that. I'll get my friends to get it with their round :D It's going to be so so weird for me, and I'm really shy without alcohol but a nutter with alcohol, so it's going to be the quietest they've ever seen me lol
Thanks again hun
Ok.. well, i'm going out tonight!! YAY! Just to go out with some friends will be great, but i'm not going to be drinking. This is going to be a stupid question, but I don't really want to ask for 'tap water' as they don't sell bottled water. Any ideas? I've never asked for water in a pub before...
Hi guys,
How you all doing tonight???
I know what you mean about the poor OH's Jessie.... pity! It must be hell for them lol Bless their cotton socks xx good luck for Monday hun, hope it goes well for you.

Muffins????????????????? How do we do muffins!!? PPLEASEEEE tell!
Aww, cravings .. not good when you're surrounded by cake stalls... Nevermind Children in need, what about Dieters in...
Hi guys,
Keep strong! You're doing the right thing Sarah and Abz by staying on here.. :( it's soo hard girls, but it'll be well worth it.
Abz, you're going to look stunning on your wedding day I'm sure...
I always struggle this time of the night too girls, I'm sure i had a breakdown last...
Hello everyone..
Abz - no worries with the paper, will get the other one soon and hopefully have some crisps then :) You sound as if you're working too hard too!!
Moti - you should deffo tell that bloody woman, ohh! I hate people like that, but you never know, even though you think everyone...
You know.... I really think that people are always quick to blame something else, or something new, or something different.
truth is, they could have had these illneses even if they hadn't started LL, and for the ones (like myself) at 23stone starting and then getting ill... if we don't do...
HELP!
Ok, i need some help here...
Greaseproof paper....Check!
Oriental Chilly mixed to a paste ....Check!
But, i zap them in the micro and they won't come off the paper, how do you get them to be like crisps? Short of licking the paper (which is really tempting) i did manage a crumb and...
Hi team....
Jessie - i'm glad you've made that decision hun, it's deffo worth a go to see if you feel better with it, and like you said, you'll be able to control everthing rather than have the binge... hope it works out for you honey. xx
Leeds - don't go worrying about what you read hun :(...
Hiya honeys....hope you're all doing well!
Sarah - I hope you're enjoying your peace and quiet hun, hope all goes well at the hospital today, will be thinking of you! Well done for stopping with the pie... everything is an improvement and you should be proud of yourself. (hugs)
Abz and Moti...
Lol girls - from now on I think i'm going to stick to just my strawberry shakes!
Jessie - i'm sure even if you do the SS+ you'll still lose the pounds, but if ss is getting you down so badly then you need to try... what harm can it do? You can always revert back when you want to..
I know...
Evening Angels,
Abz - thanks for the advice x
Moti - Well sounds like Ketosis as everyone is saying honey, nice one ;) I haven't got the sticks.... maybe I should get some ..
Wannabslim - Good on you hun, you stick with it, hang on in there. I'm not sure if it's this diet or not but I'm...

Enjoy in 'big and quiet' lol
Moti - I totally agree with you... great thread.

Sarah, I know the CDC thinks i'm on 4 packs a day... but it's only once i'm managed to have all 4, i'm quite content on 3.. Do you think that's ok that i'm only on 3? I need to tell her next week...
Oh, and I'm going to change my goals... My bmi was 51 starting off, so I need goals to get it...
Deffo!
I totally agree, we deffo will have to smash our goal and then change the name of the thread or something to... 51 days till Valentines lol And call ourselves Cupids Arrows or something lol
*I actually did count the days from Christmas days until Valentines.. lol I'm getting...
I see my CDC on a one to one basis, and she is really, really lovely! :D
It's funny to see everyone's likes and dislikes, you're right about the one persons favourite and the other persons hate.
Quite a lot I don't like, the orange one is DISGUSTING! aswell as the toffee and walnut. Pretty...
Morning Christmas Angels...
My god, 6 weeks to go, and then what are we going to call ourselves? lol
Sarah - Well done honey, you done good stopping yourself :) Like you say, 10 short weeks ago and you wouldn't have.. we must be educating ourselves as we go along on this diet too. Glad...
Morning everyone...
Leeds - Ohh, Cranberry bar! Sounds really nice... are the instead of a shake or aswell as? Ohh and the wanting to chew something... *my hand goes up* me too lol
Jessie - well done for last night hun, that's marvellous! It must have been hard going but well done for having...

Good luck for Saturday hun xx
I usually drink 4 ltrs a day. My cdc told me that I should only be drinking between 2-3 ltrs a day tho, confused me last week but i've still been drinking 4.
I feel better now girls... paddy over! Dummy is pretty much back in the pram lol
Thanks Jessie - the support of everyone here is fantastic. I really don't think I (and many others) would last without it.
Jimmyshoo - As for exercise hun, i know you're right... I'll just hopefully have a fab...
Thanks Moti and Randomgurl - I feel better now... Paddy over!
You're right, 3 of those blobs is quite a bit :)
I hope you're right about next week Moti - I really, really do...
So.. anyway....
How's everyone else today? Hope you're all doing good and feeling great!! :)
Thanks Penny and Sarah, I know you're right...
I just really wish I was under 20st, it means soo soo much to me, I guess I'm impatient. I know you're right, and no matter what - it's still a loss and a closer step to getting under 20st.
When I'm FINALLY under 20st I don't mind how slowly it...
I lost 3lbs :( Disappointed with that, i'm over 22st and only lose 3lbs second week?! I don't get it... I feel like i'm doing something wrong! :sigh: Nevermind.... a brand new week is here! Roll on....
Abz - 7.5down, 20.5 to go :D
Diet4-40 1lb loss = 24lbs to go
TraceyR - 3lbs loss = 31lbs to go:rolleyes:
Wannabslim 19lbs loss = 16lbs to go :)
Claireg1977- 7 down, 21 to go!!
Well, i've lost 3lbs this week :( really disappointed with that! I just don't get it... i'm over 22st and I only lose 3lbs in 2nd week? :( How? :( I feel as if i'm doing something wrong!!
Anyway... i'm going to exercise like mad this week or i'll never get to be under 20 stone by Christmas...
Well, when I compulsively unofficially weigh myself it's always after i've had a wee, and trying not to drink too much before weigh in... drink as much water as I can the day before I weigh..
It's daft lol but... if we think it helps then go for it.
I always want to get my head around doing...
Aww thanks Jessie hun, you're soo nice :)
You're having lost of things thrown at you hun, buffets, not your oh's takeaway tonight, cakes tomorrow..... i bet you want to scream!!!
hang on in there... xxx :( it's hard work isn't it!
Will be leaving in an hour for 'the' weighin lol... I feel...
Yes we can do this, we can and we will...

Gailt - don't stress honey, a loss is still a great thing! If you've had that bad a week, a loss of 1.5 is FAB! so... glad to see you again xx
Good Morning girlies,
Jimmyshoo - (hugs) you're working loads, and don't worry... we're here anytime you need us!
Jessie- The Buffet had the V's in? OH MY WORD, i'm so glad it was you that went and not myself...*mouth watering* lol How's things today hun?
Leeds - I haven't tried the...
Morning all...
Abz - Well done hun, great loss! Ohhh everyone is doing really really well... give yourselves a pat on the back girls.. marvellous!
Randomgurl - Oohh Ketosis.... it's great isn't it! Lol - you're added to my facebook hun, nice to put a face to the name, and you're beautiful...
Evening alllllll :) Hope you've had a lovely Monday..
Wannabslim - OH MY GIDDY GOD!! That is bloooming amazing, you must be well chuffed. Good on ya girl!
Well, i've been wondering around the shops all day and bought some wrapping paper for Christmas prezzies, I'm soo fussy, it's got to...
Well, thanks everyone... just a few minutes on Minimins and i feel great again... :D Ready for the day, don't feel fed up anymore... just motivated, happy and really looking forward to the future xxx :D
((((HUGS)))
LOL - Sarah now that you've said that, it's going to be hard not to imagine it!
Guys, i don't know if you want it, by my addy is [email protected] for facebook. :D I was meant to give it the other day when the subject had arisen.
Go Sarah.. I reckon you'll have a massive weight loss this week too hun, you seem really determined!
I can't get motivated, but my head is saying for me to get cracking with as much exercise as I can and the weight will drop off even faster, so the 'under 20st' barrier will be here quicker so...
Morning all... :)
Leeds - nothing worse than busting to use the loo and their in a disgusting state... really, I think you should complain about them and get something sorted so they're cleaned, scrubbed, fumagated or whatever it takes. There's no reason for public loos to be dirty! UCH! But...
Morning all,
Oh Moti, another cold day at camp? Not good hun!! Hopefully they'll put their fingers out and get it fixed for you tomorrow... icicles from boobies is not a good look lol
Abz - only 46 sleeps mind, so hurry and get shopping!!
Sarah - lol at hearing you mums voice.. it's always...
Hellooo lovely people...
How are you all doing?
Jessie - your pampering sessions sound lovely and next time I go to the shop i'm going to pick myself up a few things and deffo try it! - Glad you're back on track now too hun.
LOL @ you and your burn, bless! See... it deffo isn't worth...
I'm LMAO!
Oh my god, I'm so glad it's not just me!
I jump on the scales in the morning after I've had a wee too. Then I weight in the evenings and my other half is going nuts with me, cos I start cursing if it doesn't move "damn scales" lol and he's threatened to throw them....
:) I'm...
Well done hun, that is amazing.
I sooo totally agree with you about the 20st mark, I can't wait to get there... while i'm still this side of 20 st I can't see the end of the tunnel! I hope to be like yourself, you're an inspiration!
Well done! You must be sooo sooo proud of yourself, and...
For some reason, I can't wait to have VOLU VONTS or however you spell them.
I have no idea why! I've only had them once in the last 3-4 years so why i'm fancying them I have no idea, but oooh the thought it mouth watering.
I've also dreamt about them, but in my dream I was upset that i'd...
My god! That is amazing!
My starting weight was 22st 13lbs, so I know myself how chuffed you're going to be to get under the 20 stone mark.... bet you can't wait eh!! :D
Well done you... how do you do it? lol I lost 8lbs first week and was gutted with that amount, but hey.... keep at it...
I am definitely taking some time off for Christmas, it's what's keeping me going now. By then i'd have done a solid 8 weeks of SS and i've got such a long way to go.. I'm prepared to have Christmas eve and Christmas day off, but i'm going to step up the exercise and then straight back on it...
Dwarf with a lisp goes to a stud farm to buy a horse, "I'd like to buy a horth" he says to the owner of the farm.

Randomgurl - well done hun, day 4 is officially over and you're into day 5! nice one! Ohhh and...
Oh Well done Jessie, you've done really well with the exercising today, keep it up chick... hopefully you'll carry on being focused and you'll be happy allllll the way...
I've never really been into 'doing nice things to myself'... but, the body scrub and body butter sound soooo nice, even...
Hellooo Angels!
awww i've really enjoyed reading the last few posts... well nice
As far as facebook goes guys, we should add each other... just a thought :)
Moti - as far as what i'm looking forward to when I lose weight, it's pretty much everything. I just want to be normal. I'm 22st 5lbs...
Well helloooo..
what a horrible night, it's been raining here for hours!
Jessie - I haven't any exercises. Dave hasn't been walked (too wet) and I've not done the step thing either :( But, only because I didn't come back from Squash until late.. I live about 30 mins away from where I play...
Hi Jessie
It sounds like you've got a social life just like myself hun... When the lbs and stones are gone though I'm deffo going to go and get myself a social life :D
I think those steps before every shake is a great Idea, and even though i've had my morning shake, im going to do those...
I know the feeling moti hun. It's always the case on a diet.
I really do think it's important to always keep yourself busy and doing something, but oh my word, i've been so bored tonight. Don't know what to do with myself kinda thing. Even floating back and forth on facebook and nothing is...
Excellent!
Well, walking for 30 mins is good so far...
How about using the bottom step of the stairs a certain amount of times as a 'step' aerobic kinda thing... i mean, everyone has a step at home so that's easily done. Say we started off just doing, 25 step ups with left leg and then 25...
I'm game Jessie, I deffo need to step up the exercising... my dog definitely needs to start walking me more!!
I'd love to lose 6lbs by next Tuesday and then it'll be a stone in two weeks... so maybe we could get a regime or something, and stick to it. So many exercises to complete in a day...
lol
It's very boring guys... where has my social life gone?! :p
Nevermind, it'll be better when I go out... smaller!
Lol at jet skiing... what a sight!
Good thinking with pretending it's day 44! I like your plan ;)
hi Randomgurl,
Dreaded day 4 it was for me hun, but it sounds as if you'll be ok. You seem really positive and that's a deffo bonus! Good on ya chick xx
You're right there too hun, socialising is usually to do with food etc. I've got such a long way to go, we'll end up strangers lol ... nah...
I must have missed the 6st by Christmas bit, I totally agree with wannabslim. I'm aiming for a total of 3stone by Christmas... and I think that's aiming a bit high. I've lost 8lbs and got 2st 6lbs left to go before Christmas..... and then about another 10st lol
But, any loss is a loss chick.... ;)
Hi Lisa,
Glad you're feeling great hun. Keep going and i'm sure you'll be happy by your wedding in July.
Good luck for Monday, keep posting. Some lovely and inspiring people on here that keep you going... especially on those days you may need a little pull-up.
Take care hun xxx
Jessie - Lol at you and the leek! So funny.. Can picture it. Though... it must have really hurt.
I agree with a weekly weigh in, I don't think i'm trustworthy enough to have it fortnightly! :(
Leeds - good luck with the weigh in hun... cheering you on here !! ;)
Gained half a stone in a...
Evening my Angels..
Well, i've been really busy the last couple of days. Just back and forth etc, and only seem to have 5-10 mins here or there to come online... I need to get here more *mental note made*
Gailt - it must be tough for you hun. This diet is hard enough let alone not having...
lol Jessie, a packet of biscuits dunked in a cup of cocoa deffo won't work chick.... I'm absolutely positive, i'm sure it won't... positive... *trying to convince myself too!*
Sounds as if everything is going against you hun..
lol @ the chocolate on your boys face :D
It's deffo a cold day...
Good afternoon fellow angels of the Christmas variety ;)
Aww Gailt - hurry up and get better hun, gallstones.. not fun! Let's hope it's not them xx Hugs xx
Sarah - totm from hell? OUCH! Men don't realise how damn lucky they are do they?!
Nice to see everyone posting :)
Not that i'm...
Hi Mat,
I am 5'6 and my CDC said I need to be on 4 a day (but i haven't stuck to 4.. usually 3! I find 4 a lot!), I assume it's because of my weight. My starting weight is 22st 13lbs so she told me to have 4 packets a day. She initially wanted to start me on the plan where I have shakes AND a...
Thanks Jessie and Leeds, I feel so much better about it today. You're right, it is a damn good start and I should be looking at how much i've lost rather than looking at how much i've got to go... i'll get there!
Don't worry about your blips....Deffo onwards and upwards Jessie ;) lol
LOL at...
Hi all...
Well, we've got loads of posts here. I've been busy all day today so didn't get a chance to come online..
I feel better about the 8lbs now and Sarah... I didn't realise that you're fantastic weight losses started with an 8lber! So, that's made me feel 100% better, thanks hun...
I'm confused to this now..
I told my cdc today that I'm drinking 4ltrs of water and she says it's too much and that I should only drink between 2-3 ltrs a day.
I agree with everything that's been written in the sticky, think it's great... but i'm confused! Help!
Hi All,
I got weighed tonight and lost 8lbs, I'm not sure who I tell regarding the team etc or where to say. I'm a bit disheartened with the loss because i've got so much to lose and thought it would be a higher loss than that... but never mind, moan over... it's still a loss.
One thing...
Abz: 3.25lbs lost - 24.75lbs to go!
Diet4-40: 3lbs lost - 25lbs to go!
Gail39: 3lbs lost - 25lbs to go!
Dancing Queen - 5lb lost - 23lbs to go
TraceyR - 8lbs lost - 34 to go
Wheeey....and we're off :)
Hi All,
Well i've been weighed and first weigh in i've lost 8lbs. :sigh: i don't know why, but i feel a bit deflated with that loss. I've got loads to lose, stuck to it rigidly and 'only' lost 8lbs. A bit disheartened because I see other loses for people being more and they haven't got as much...
Good Morning Girlies,
Good luck with your weigh in today Gailt xx
Abz, well done!! 3.5lbs loss is great :clap:
Well, another day of feeling great so far. I can't sleep in the nights for the past 4 nights now. It's taking me ages to drop off to sleep (when I say ages I mean about 3...
