Hi I do keto, I've been keto for almost a year now. I've lost 4stone 12lb on it, would like 2lb off for my keto-versary next week but I'm doubtful as it's slow going now but I'm fine with that. I love keto so much and have no plans to quit. I feel so much better than I did so even if it takes...

Hi! I know this is an old thread but just wondered if you ladies are still around and still keto? I've been keto since June last year and love it. On a bit of a stall at the moment so might mix things up a bit but I'm so much happier than at my heavier weight I'm not too worried if the rest is...

Congratulations on your pregnancy lovely! Yeah it's a good idea to keep healthy eating to avoid a big gain. Even if you maintain its less to lose afterwards. Have a happy Christmas x

Keto is high fat, moderate protein and very low carb. Hard getting over the cravings at first but once you do its pretty easy as the fat keeps you full and the lack of cravings mean you're neither than hungry nor mooching round for food that you're craving. Hubby is doing it too which helps...

Hi Laura I was following your last diary and a similar weight to you. I then went off the rails back to the start almost! Since then I started keto diet in June and have lost 2 stone 10lb on that - love it! Last time you were SW and I was calorie counting so it's all change haha! Look...

CT you are back!! I'm so very sorry for your loss. I've also lost my dad to cancer since we last "spoke". I've had a baby (well a 3 year old now). I had gestational diabetes in pregnancy and gained a lot of weight but it taught me a lot and my husband and I have decided to follow a keto diet...

I think I used to have an old diary in 2014 lol. I'll continue having a browse around the forum and probably start my own diary soon. I don't do slimming world I calorie count but still love reading all the other diaries seeing how people do!

Hi Laura I've been reading your diary over the last few days to catch up! I'm a similar weight as you at the moment I think. This is my first time on minis in a few years so I've no idea what my stats say lol. Keep plodding on we can be slimmer by Christmas. I've set myself a goal of being in...

Not too good weight/diet wise. Think I need to go back to basics. Been maintaining by being fairly good with a fee treats thrown in. Hubby and I were discussing and we are going to try to tone down the weekends etc and see if we can get going again. I'm not too bothered to be honest, I'd like to...

Absolutely. Don't forget that "normal" people (those who have never had a weight problem) will also fluctuate or eat more than normal at special occasions. Obviously to reach our goals we gave to be strict and not give in to every temptation but with such a long journey unless you want to let...

Totally get you there CT... you can and will get back on track! I've had some time off as I just got utterly fed up. Gained a couple of pounds but in the scheme of things so what? Today I'm back to it and my head is back in the right place to do it so although I've indulged I feel it was the...

Glad you had a great time off hun! I'm the same when I'm off but my thinking is if overall we can keep losing its a sustainable way of maintaining too once we are at goal :) I still want to enjoy life regardless of dieting! Good luck with jumping back on the wagon xx Sent from my SM-N9005 using...

Sts is fab... I remember you being absolutely terrified of going off plan when you went to Barcelona (understandable as it was early days) but I think the time is right now for you to have had some treats and realised it's not the end of the world and that you won't gain 3 stone in two days...

These things happen. Before your weight loss it's probably something you'd do regularly and not think about. Yes it's happened but don't let it worry you you've recognised where you've gone wrong and you're back on plan today, that's the main thing! It's when you don't care there is a problem...

My advice is enjoy yourself. An evening off plan isn't going to blow anything after such good consistent losses. I think long term an occasional night off is a good thing because you need to learn how to manage events etc even when at goal you will have meals etc off plan. As long as you enjoy...

Sophie... I say this with only kindness... do you think you should just go back to the normal slimming world plan? I'm not someone who is opposed to fasting by the way, I occassionally do it and I certainly have some low calorie days in the mix. I just think that your body doesn't know what is...

Ah laura that sounds like you're doing fab! Meals sound great and getting put for a run too. You're bound to feel strange at the moment but the little bits of normality will keep you going. I think you're doing right reintroducing slowly. Seriously dieting can be a bit "all-consuming" and...

Picture! Picture! Picture! Yeah the meds probably keep your thyroid in control so it doesn't slow your losses but I think it's mainly down to you being so good :) my losses were a lot better for the first few months too it's only more recently they've slowed but it's good because I think if...

Oh gosh that looks devine! Sent from my SM-N9005 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Ooh I need to tone my bingo wings... Every time I've lost weight I'm still very conscious of my arms! I've always got a little belly probably more from being overnight than from having my son if I'm honest but that's easily hidden whereas I'd love to be able to feel confident in sleeveless tops...

Whoop whoop for size 16 :) Yeah I've got little boobs so that probably explains it! I am just getting into 16s too I've got on my old size 16 denim skirt today over leggings and it fits without forcing a muffin top haha! Hubby says I look fit ; ) you need to go and do a primarni sweep now...

Love the jacket :) x Sent from my SM-N9005 using MiniMins.com mobile app

You've got a fantastic figure! How tall are you? I'd say we look similar sized on your pics. I know I weigh less but I think you're taller xx Sent from my SM-N9005 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Something like penne aribiata is usually best for Italian pasta with tomato sauce basically! Avoid lasagne garlic bread and creamy carbonara. :) Sent from my SM-N9005 using MiniMins.com mobile app

You're doing brilliantly I'm enjoying your diary :) Sent from my SM-N9005 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Fabulous I bet you feel amazing however long the final part takes getting the main bit off in less than a year is brilliant and you look great x Sent from my SM-N9005 using MiniMins.com mobile app

No harm in experimenting. I think for a lot of people the deprivation of fast days can lead to binging or "making up for it" on other days. Saying that I appreciate it works for some and fair play. Like you I have a mix of higher and lower days and when I started did have some fairly low days...

Ooh what flavour baby? Hope all went well xx Sent from my SM-N9005 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Woohoo well done. Bet you're glad to see a nicer loss this week and the inches lost show that your hard work has been paying off even if not on the scales! Very pleased for you x Sent from my SM-N9005 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Ooh lovely dresses :) eeek wedding dress shopping is amazing and they do wonders.for your figure! I felt fine in mine even at the weight I was! I always hate my arms even when I'm a size 12 but a veil worn over does wonders or even a bolero if you feel the need :) will try to show you some pics...

Driving about 20 minutes :) I did it! I'm at work just the walk home to do too. Maybe try your walk when you don't have to be there at a certain time like a trial at a weekend so it doesn't matter if it takes an hour and you can work out if it's feasible x Sent from my SM-N9005 using...

Oops didn't know it's not to be mentioned :/ naughty ginger! Once I'd lost some weight I increased my activity levels too... realised over time that I was finding it much easier to work further and that I actually enjoyed it therefore I'm doing loads of it now and I'm finding it helps a lot and...

Well done with your course work :) yeah its hard to stay motivated in the slower loss weeks but I think once you notice a pattern you know that by sticking to your guns it will come off at some point. You look sooooo much slimmer than when you started! I hope you meet all your targets and im...

Stopping by to subscribe! I started at 118kg and that's only 4 months ago although I do calorie counting and MFP not slimming world but I see people have great success with SW. Looking forward to seeing your journey unfold, good luck x Sent from my SM-N9005 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Fantastic well done you! I bet it feels fabulous to be in the 19s! That's a great picture too don't be so hard on yourself x just realised it's my 4 months since I started dieting on Friday for my weigh in although I'm sensing a STS after my good loss last week and after the 4 digestives I ate...

My work is quite far away but as I don't drive it's as quick as getting the bus really, well not quite but less faffing! My bus pass has just run out so tomorrow will be my first day walking to AND from work :) hopefully get around 15000 steps in its about 45 mins each way x Sent from my...

I'd like to shred more but struggle to fit it in my day with all the changing showering etc! Been keeping up the walking though :) Sent from my SM-N9005 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Added on Fb wanted to message you to say who I am but no option to do it... If you see my ig name you can probably work it out :) x Sent from my SM-N9005 using MiniMins.com mobile app

I think I understand that I will do some searching :) im not Mrs ginger in real life haha! Same reasons I don't want all and sundry reading my weight and diary! 8lbs is nothing in the scheme of things... at one point that was almost 8 stones :) I think you'll be at target very soon and im sure...

How are you doing this week? :) x Sent from my SM-N9005 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Don't worry about the gain I remember last time you'd been it soon dropped off the following weeks. I think when you change your diet like that it's just serious "bloat" rather than weight. Not to mention the flight too :) Sounds like you had a wonderful time! What's your IG name? I'd love...

Wow your whole outline has shrunk so much in the last pic x Sent from my SM-N9005 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Ooh wedding plans sound lovely I Love Italy :) I'd have liked my honeymoon there but we couldn't really afford it at the time. Travel sounds great for you this year... I was always brought up without holidays abroad so I don't think I've ever really caught the travel bug! Glad you're feeling...

I don't agree. .. I think plenty of slim people go a little crazy at buffets and pick and things they don't "need"! How many cakes or chocolates disappear when they're in a workplace... lots going to slim people who don't need them but just fancy them at the time. Don't beat yourself up its not...

Well done on reaching your goal x Sent from my SM-N9005 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Have a great evening out :) I live in leggings with dresses and cardigans at the moment I've always been a skirt person rather than trousers! However I will be digging out all my size 12 and 14 river island jeans and next skinniest when I'm smaller haha! Size 18 tops means you can now start...

I think that's very likely good luck x Sent from my SM-N9005 using MiniMins.com mobile app

I agree. I think you can definitely eat a lot more when exercising and that's definitely how I plan to maintain by of setting any bad food choices with exercise! Hopefully it will have shaken your body up and get it moving next week :) Sent from my SM-N9005 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Woohoo you look fab! I agree in weighing up all the options before definitely deciding your wedding plans. Prague for the wedding then later a holiday in Vegas sounds great. I think Prague would be a "nicer" wedding venue x Sent from my SM-N9005 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Well done :) x Sent from my SM-N9005 using MiniMins.com mobile app

You will tone with the exercise so be more streamlined! I'll be interested to see if you've lost this week with more food but maintaining the exercise. I predict a happy surprise x Sent from my SM-N9005 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Ooh someone I know got married in Vegas then had a helicopter ride over the canyon and champagne picnic it looked ace! Our day was fantastic and I wouldn't change it for the world however in some respects like cost and issues with hubby's family since the day I wish we'd just gone off and done...

Mine is moving again now and I'm sure yours will too! I must admit I've cut down on the shredding and concentrated on lots of walking instead... I will start doing strength again when I've lost some more weight but didn't like the way it was halting my progress at the moment. Even so I'm sure...

Awww so pretty! Is that your hubby yo be in the pictures? Well done on your progress and I'm sure you can meet your goal x Sent from my SM-N9005 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Sorry about your grandad xx Well done on your loss and for still attending group. I'm the same height as you and I know I felt great around 12 stone, even better when I was lighter still but I think our height can definitely carry 12 stone well and look great! Much better than 18 anyway. Life...

Life gets in the way sometimes and this is a perfect example. I'm sure you'll be back to where you were in no time. Hope your dad is ok (my dad has an ongoing blood condition so I know what these scares are like) xx Sent from my SM-N9005 using MiniMins.com mobile app

I'm getting seriously frustrated! I'm off work so I'm going to do some uni work in a bit, just chilling with a ginger and lemon tea at the moment (just back from the school run so got an easy 3000 steps in to start the day). I'm not having coffees or fizzy drinks today to see if that helps...

Yeah definitely discuss with the surgeon, they will give you the best advice. I'm not at work today and I'm at uni tomorrow so I will hold off weighing I don't like our scales at home x Sent from my SM-N9005 using MiniMins.com mobile app

I'm desperate to get under 100 kg. .. I sneaky weighed today and it was 100.2 when it was 100 dead on Friday. .. meh! I'm sure you will be in the 19's soon I bet that will be a massive boost :) Sent from my SM-N9005 using MiniMins.com mobile app

We've got a hairy dieters book I keep meaning to make some of the recipes (or encourage hubby to). Gpod luck for weigh in! I can't wait until I'm down to the weight you are now!

Good luck for tomorrow! I wonder as a lot of people seem to be struggling a bit to lose despite being on plan, whether its to do with eating a bit more over christmas, then like a big push to be "good" in January I wonder if our bodies are just catching up with themselves or something...

My collarbones are just emerging, it's something I always notice in "slim" photos of myself. Kick-boxing sounds fun but so does Karate... I've told hubby we're starting an activity together when I've lost more weight... maybe dancing of some sort or zumba. Good luck at the doctors I hope the...

Oh I hope the bad news that kept you awake is nothing too bad :( Ooh that's strange with the breast surgery, I'm a nurse but I've never worked in breast care but I didn't realise that could happen from weight loss, crazy! Glad you've got the go-ahead now but do you think it's better to weight...

Haha my hubby is doing his Nebosh! He works in health and safety now he switched across from project management to get some more string to his bow but he really likes it! How strange that I asked when it's what he's doing. Good luck hope it goes well :) xx Sent from my SM-N9005 using...
