Hi Pops78, I am great thank you, had a bad week as I had to introduce a bit of food for the week, in order to take extremely strong painkillers, which no doubt has slowed my weight loss down but hey ho, onwards and upwards. I will have my next weigh in, not this Saturday but next Saturday.

Just checking in on everyone, how is everyone doing today?

Ooooh Desperatetobethin!!!! Have you hit the 3 stone mark now? Congrats, you're killing it girl! Keep it up, you're doing so well, I think by October that could easily be 56lbs, that's really motivating!

Hi Desperatetobethin, I'm hanging in there, just keeping my self busy. How has your week been? how are you? Just came back from my weigh in and another pound gone 14:13lbs was the weigh in so officially two stone. How was yours?

Hi Tash86, Just came across your thread and I completely understand where you're coming from. My issue? When I'm overweight in any capacity, people just do not see you, you are invisible which I detest, more than even name calling because as horrible as the name calling is, there's also some...

Hi, I would love to join as well, I would ideally like 18lbs off by my birthday which is Sep 25th.

I hope I can get better than a 1lb which was last week but as you rightly advised me, a loss is still a loss.

Hi desperatetobethin, don't worry about that, I know how you feel but it sounds like your body is trying to catch up with the weight loss and the 12th week doesn't exactly mean going back to good, I think it means adding milk. You've still got time to adjust mentally but I understand why you'd...

Hi Ebi, Welcome to the post, I hope you are well. I hope you can join us as well, how much do you have to lose?

*really

Hi Desperatetobethin, Don't worry always feel free to ask and I it's all always good when we are accountable to each other. I haut want to continue.

Hi Desperatetobethin, sorry was meant to say that I now weigh 15 stone. But I have on fact lost 27lbs (started off at 16:13). I have got 72lbs to go. My consultant say it may have something to do with the fact that I'm on the Depo Povera which apparently hinders weight loss. The cost of it also...

...(sorry I pressed send by accident) and you will get there in due time, what day do you weigh in?

Hi AmaD, Please feel free to join us on our journey, how are you feeling today? Re your target weight for new year It's good to have goals

Hi Desperatetobethin, Sorry for the delay didn't weigh in until today because I was waiting for some money to come to my account. I only lost a 1lbs, which brings my weight loss to 15.0, I'm not happy with it but a loss is a loss and will deffo expect more by Saturday! Well done on your weight...

How's everyone doing by the way, any other updates on weight loss or any thing else?

Hi Minecraftmum, congrats on your weight loss and I'm impressed by how long you've kept to it, fingers crossed, as I hope to be there!

Hi Desperatetobethin, Congrats on your weight loss this week. A great way to start the 30 day challenge and well done for getting back. That is 32% of the way completed and one more pound would equate to a third. I think you could be 50% of the way there at the end of the 30 day challenge, I...

Hi all, Hope everyone is well, Just an update to say I've lost 4lbs this week which makes my weight 15:1lbs and overall weight loss of 26lbs since July 10th. I'm desperate to get into the 14s but I'm getting rather close. Hope everyone is okay.

Hi Dedperatetobethin, I was wondering how you're doing. Is weigh in day still Monday? My weigh in day is today so I'll be updating everyone in the next couple of hours. Hope you're okay. As for friends, again without sounding insulting to those who may mean well, why weren't they so concerned...

Hi Helen, You're completely right, it's not conspiracy and certainly for us, it's something we should be aware of. Most events now are completely so with food because I suspect as a nation we are completely indoctrinated and seduced by all things food orientated. I have been learning that and...

Hi 366to266, I completely agree with your reasoning and I will go as far to say that firstly, your friends should more accommodating. They should know that the path you're choosing to follow ( I refuse to call it a diet anymore) is a path to getting you healthier and fitter so that you can...

Oops thought my previous message didn't go through, I can now see it has! Lol!

Hi Kaceyboo, Of course you can, congrats on beginning, when is your next weigh-in? Let's all make this month count together

Hi kaceyboo, Of course you can, first of all congrats on breaking that three day barrier because it should only get easier from here, when is your next weigh in?

Hi Desperatetobethin, Hope you had a good day today, I have to admit it is getting easier, my close friends are very supportive and regarding the anti social bit, you're so right but I figure that once we reach our target weights, the irony is that we will probably be more social than we've...

Hi Carly1882, welcome to the club! Glad to hear that you retained a stone off despite childbirth, that's quite a feat in it's self. Hopefully the next thirty days should kick start you into it. I'm hoping all of us can really get cracking and lose some chunk! I'm hoping the 30 days will go quickly!

Hi HG2014, We started yesterday so feel free to join, goes until the September 10th, let's make a conscious effort to stay clean and lose as much as we can by following it program 100%.

Hi Desperatetobethin, I alright at the moment, trying to enjoy most of the summer, I've been going to the theatre and some events. The summer is proving quite testing when people keep on inviting me to barbecues and events that are food orientated. Though saying that, I've found it easier and...

Hi 366to266, Welcome and yay let's make the next 30 days count!

hi Lilypotter, as long as you're back on track then it's great, let's keep it to it, hope you're up for the 30 day challenge as well!

Hi Desoeratetobethin, Sorry to hear that, but how about we set up a 30 day challenge starting from today to see how much you can lose by September 10th. You've been doing so well thus far, jump back on and remain focused, you can do this, just remember why you're doing it and come here when you...

Hey guys how's everyone feeling today? Just to update you that I'm now 15:5lbs, which means I've had a five pound weight loss, not so bad. It's now brought my weight loss to 22lbs in 30 days. I hope to replicate this for the next 28 days

Hi Lilypotter, As long as you jump back on the bandwagon, that's the important part. The change must have been hard to deal with, but it sounds like it's for the best. Next time you feel down, just come here and explain everything that's making you feel down or as much as you can, to deter you...

Yes missy you are !!! And if I wanna be even more pedantic, you are about a 1/3 through your 100lbs weight loss journey. It felt like yesterday we were talking about our first couple of days etc

Hi Desperatetobethin, You'll be fine just jump back on that bandwagon! You've done so well already and now you're only 5lbs from the next half a stone, you can do this, just put your shakes in your work bag now so you don't set yourself up, I can't wait till you're next weigh-in cos I know...

Hey HG2014, Keep hanging in there! May I recommend going in YouTube and checking out "dual dynamics". His videos have been a godsend for me when I've thought of giving in and he talks a little bit about self sabotage and explains why we do it.

Hi HG2014, You're actually at the point where you are past a major stage, push through it and you'll be so glad you did. Don't sabotage anything and keep going.

Hi Lily, welcome, of course you can join, the more the merrier! When is your first weigh in date? 7 stone was similar to where I started, I found it so good to discuss everything on here, and everyone has been so supportive!

Hi Desperatetobethin, Will definitely try this this week and see how much I can lose, thanks for the heads up!

Hi Willpowerwoman, No pressure at all! A loss is a loss and a step on the right direction and let's celebrate our successes!

Hi Willpowerwoman, I look forward to your first weigh in loss as well!

Oh my gosh Desperatetobethin, that's fantastic!!!!! That's awesome is that 30lbs now?!!! You are doing so brilliantly! I have since changed my CDC, as I felt she wasn't motivating me enough and I found myself lapsing a bit. I have since found the. dual dynamics guy and my next weigh in is...

Hi Willpowerwoman, Be sure to keep us updated with how you are doing. When is your next weigh in and how are you finding step 2?

Gran Torino ;(

Thank you Willpowerwoman, it's been tough but it's okay, thank you. Are you doing the Cambridge Diet as well?

Hi Desperatetobethin, How are you enjoying your week? You are completely right, I hadn't thought of it like that, I wanted to see a bigger difference to I'm sticking to it but I would love to see it step up! I think I'll go back to a Thursday weigh in to help me out! I'm aiming for better this...

Hi Minecraftmum, I was struggling with that as well. I only had a 3lb weight loss this week and has been very disheartening to say the least but I guess the weight loss will eventually catch up, as my CDC says.

Hi Desperatetobethin, Hope you're well. This week I've lost a disappointing 3lbs but I heard that it may be due to TOM which may have slowed down weight loss. Nonetheless, I can't help but feel a bit deflated but will continue to remain positive. How did your weigh in go?

Hi HG2014, Ooh, how much did you lose

Too add, Has anyone had a weigh in yet and if so, how did it go?

Hi everyone, Just to let you know that my weigh in day is now Monday, in order to give me some time for the bloated feeling to go away, as a result of TOM. It's simply annoying, as the bloating seemed to disguise any possible weight loss I may or may not have. I am someone who is very...

Thank you HG20114, I appreciate it. When is your next weigh in?

Hi HG2014. Thank you, I was shocked myself! I started off as 16:13lbs, and weighed in at 15:13lbs, I am 5:7, and would like to be 9:7lbs, preferably by 12/12/14. So I have got over 6 stone to go.

Hi Joanne, I understand now. Well being that you started today, how about you report to the group next Sunday. Even though you could weigh yourself, I think it's great when have a person/people to inform, because it can help to keep on track. Totally understood about SS as well. How's your...

Hi Joanne, Of course you can join, the more the merrier. Sorry to hear re your dads death, a bereavement is always hard to deal with on any change of diet let alone a vlcd. Also, it's good to have support from family, as they will continue to motivate you. If you don't mind me asking, what's...

Omg!!!!!!! That's brilliant Desperatetobethin, twinning! How do you feel? You should be so proud, congrats and bring on week 2!

Hi Needtheoldmeback, I am sorry that you feel so down. I honestly think it's not just your weight loss that's getting you down but other things as well. I put the following things to you: 1. Your partner loves you, that first and foremost is the most important thing 2. Like others have said...

Hi Minecraftmum, I totally concur with you. Remember how I was feeling prior to weigh in? I was expecting something to jeopardise me, I think it's just nervousness, you've done the hard work so you don't have anything to worry about, you'll be fine.

I'm very happy especially being so nervous about it, and worrying that it wouldn't be good, whose weigh in is coming next?

Hi Minecraftmum, Hope your doing well, before you know it, you'll be at the one month mark, when is weigh-in day?

Hi Everyone, Just to update you on my weigh in... I lost 14lbs!!!!!!! I can't believe it! A stone gone! My BMI also went from 37.3 to 35.1. I wanna thank you guys for being so supportive, even though it's been a week, it's helped me persevere, and I hope it's encouraging for everyone, we HAVE...

Hi Desperatetobethin, you hang in there, you'll be fine, I think it's really kicking in now for you, I felt that when I first went in to ketosis, that means it's really working. Don't worry you'll be fine!

Hey guys, How's everyone doing today? Im happy to say that after babysitting my little cousins, I didn't fall into temptation, after I was asked to oven bake pizza, some of which they had left for me, binned it, as well as the ice cream, binned as well. So tough, but a good way on working on...

Very excited, but equally anxious as well. I know I've lost but I think I'm just concerned of not losing a lot at the same time. I can't wait to post the results, but funnily enough, I'm also equally happy to say I've completed one week. I feel like every week completed is another big step...

Heya, Funnily enough I felt this evening was harder than the first day for some odd reason, I think it's self sabotage admittedly. I know my weigh in is coming soon, so I think I'm slightly nervous about that. But I think the more I get comfortable with the diet, the may introduce some sort of...

Hi Desperatetobethin, How are you today? That's the same thing with me, I'm desperate to know what the results of my hard work are! Re your target weight that's awesome, and there's nothing wrong with us pushing till we reach them. I want to weigh in at 133 and weigh in no more than 140lbs...

Hi HG2014, that is fantastic!!!!! Omg, I think I just read it as two weeks as I thought "surely that's nearly a stone" that is brilliant! Re the water, it does sound lovely I've heard that even the low calorie water can be detrimental to ketosis so as we are in this together, we should stay away...

Hey Ms HG, Hope you're well, congrats on your weight loss, that is brilliant for two weeks work, and I can't wait till we reach our respective targets. I'll tell you one thing, I'm hating drinking water right about now, it's making me sick, I think it's temporary as I usually love drinking...

Thank you Minecraftmum, will be updating! X

Congrats on your weight loss minecraftmum, you are giving me some thinspiration; reminding us newbies to hang in there!

Hi Desperatetobethin, don't worry about your starting weight, what's important is that you have started, and now it will be a thing of the past, but it's great to think about your successful journey and where you came from so you can read appreciate your hard work. It also helps me to keep...

Hi Desperatetobethin, I hope you're well, hows your first morning going, I trust it's going well. We should definitely partner up and beat this, it's day 5 for me, and I feeling very tired and strangely cold, but from what I gather this goes soon, I must be in ketosis. Can I ask you when you're...

Hi Claireboo22, Don't feel disheartened, I am fellow Londoner so you should be fine, I started on Thursday so I'm in the early days, and tbh, I feel okay!!! I'm just bored so the trick I feel is to keep busy and ignore smells! I'll continue to keep you updated, my starting weight is 16:11lbs...

@kiwichan Thanks for your advice, tbh, I'm not even telling people (unless I really have to), because I'm not remotely interested in hearing people trying to dissuade me from my goal, such as the usual "you're starving yourself", "but you look fine". I can't stand the constant need for people...

Congrats on your weight loss, it's this kind of news I need to hear to keep me focused!

Hi guys, Just a quick update, seemed to be going well thus far, it's just boredom!!! I don't know about you guys but I feel like I have much more time, now I'm not obsessing over food that much! I can't wait to reach the two week mark so I can introduce exercise. Or when do you guys think it's...

Thanks so much, much appreciated, I'll hang in there x

Hi to all my fellow Cambridge sole sourcers (if that's even a word), I have just started my journey today after years of piling the weight. To put it simply, I am 5.7, and 16st 11lbs and would like to weight 9:7lbs by Christmas. It may be slightly ambitious but I really want to put this battle...
