Thank you Rachella xx

Thanks! I definitely could have tried harder I regretted it but I knew I would!! J thought planning to get married 6months after I had my boy would give me the incentive to lose it but I think sometimes it's too much pressure! There will be so much going on that you won't even worry about your...

The day was perfect!! had to send as collage as this keeps crashing when I try add more than one pic! X

Emmy you're back!! I got married in September and then went Chicago on our honeymoon so as you can imagine the portions aren't small and I definitely didn't hold back! I've got some shakes but can't bring myself to drink them so have been doing low carbs since Tuesday I'm finding it alright...

Happy for you Emmy!! I can't wait to join you!! I only ever did the new plan it was very easy and everything you eat is fresh!! Had an omelette today was supposed to only have shakes but OH got back from his stag do this morning and ordered an 18inch pizza so I needed something or I would have...

I'm so excited to eat something accompanied by rice! It's so sad lol! You'll have to still keep us posted on how you're getting on! Yeah maybe just do shakes the month before you're wedding! SW is more of a lifestyle change so will defo do that on a long term basis x

Emmy if my wedding wasn't so close I would not be sticking to this it's always easier the first time round for some reason! 5 1/2 is really good! I have done SW before and found it pretty easy (compared to shakes) I always worried that I couldn't go back to it because of the amount of carbs you...

Yeah I've got my dress I love it and alternations won't need to be done till the week before the wedding so just enough time x

That's a good idea I usually devour every carb in sight before starting and that makes for a very hard first few days! I'm doing good back to pre baby weight now so I finally feel like I'm getting back to my old self!! Would like another stone off before my wedding which is in just over 6 weeks!! X

Welcome Lisa! Wishing you lots of luck it's soo worth it in the end!! Just take it day by day!! X

Well done Ali on you're loss! Are you drinking a minimum of 2L water each day? The only time I have got constipated is when I'm not drinking enough x

Rachella make sure you're having your shakes it really slows down weight loss! And water too I know it can be hard to fit it all in esp when you're busy x

Not sad at all!! You kinda gotta remember what you started as to ensure your never tempted to go back to it!! Well done you!!

Lost 2 and a quarter today! Not bad considering my nan made me get on the scales!! I was very scared as had a bad weekend! Good this week so far tho!! How you doing?

Messed up last night... Not bad but I ate! We're going to brighton for the weekend, I don't know the finer details but we've rented a big house! Do you know what you doing yet? I assume it will be next year!? Hope everyone starts the weekend well!! I'm Hungry already so up to make a shake

Do you feel better, you're probably just toning I wish I had the motivation to do so! I want wedding arms!! Really well this is day 4 of just shakes feeling better scales showing 12.8 this morning so I'm losing but slower than I had thought managing 2L of water a day! My hen is 15th august I...

Your either not eating enough (as well as going to the gym) so maybe force yourself to have another shake or you've built muscle! Don't be disheartened I assume you will have a big loss next week! Are you keeping up your water!? X

Have fun Jeanette x

Bird cages is a great idea Emmy my events lady has them too I haven't made a final decision on the centrepieces yet! I've got a retro cream postbox that I love tho was only £40 and is full size! Exciting day for you Jeanette!

Welcome Rach... Good advice to take each day as it comes it's soo easy to think too far ahead and then be disappointed cos you're not there yet! I'm also on shake that weight! Thanks Emmy I will try the bars this shakes only malarkey is hard! Jeanette, enjoy your hols x

Cuff links is a good idea! Just didn't wanna get them something they can't use! As the themes vintage was going the get the boys these retro sweet boxes from amazon they are quite good... The OH loves them (anything sweets) and you can put a personalised note in them. The girls is hard...

You can defo start trying on dresses now I wish I had more time to have done it properly!! Yeah all ready just waiting on the suits and got to think of what gifts to get the bridesmaids/best men (got a few ideas) but everything else is booked and ready to go.

Yes but the flair just starts higher, it's 6th sept so will be 10 weeks this sat!! Whens yours? X

Brilliant Ney almost a stone!!! I think it's fit and flare it's fitted to the hips and lace at the top x

If I could have one kit Kat a day if I'd be a happy girl! I found my wedding dress yesterday happy happy one less thing to worry about

Amazing results Steph! Yeah doing good stayed on plan but same as you re weighing everyday it's annoying me as it goes up and down!!

How did you get on Emmy? Did you manage to resist a fridge raid?

12.9 today sneaky weigh in!! Feeling good about this! Takeaway tonight and my OH's sisters... Couldn't sit and watch them eat soo have convinced everyone to have indian... Chicken tikka and salad for me! Hope everyone's doing well and staying on track!

Jeanette just go into holiday mode now!! I would!! Enjoy yourself you've been restricted for soo long!! You can claw it back a bit after holiday if need be...

12.12 today not bad as only got back on track Friday!! Feeling positive this time will stay on track! Wedding dress shopping Monday x

Well done Emmy what an incentive to keep you on track x

I'm going shake that weight! Hope everything has a good start to the week

Have always drunk diet coke woops! Will change to zero from now

Hi Tara, Can't offer any advise as never done that one! Let us know how you get on though! X

Loved LL it was the first shake diet I did so not sure if that had anything to do with it but I got down to 10st5lb! But I think the price went up to £60 a week which is ridiculous! So went onto Cambridge as 47.50 a week! Can't believe I used to pay that much compared to STW x

I was using soya milk but kept finding powder at bottom of my coffee not sure if it was the brand! Not too sure to be honest I only have one coffee in the morning so just add a splash of semi X

I used to have the LL bars white choc and cranberry when I was doing LL and they were soo nice! Welcome Ney... Good luck for your start!! Yeah 2L of water at least and I'm pretty sure diet coke ok as zero carbs/sugar although apparently can make you hungry! I'm about to have roosters but...

That is expensive Emmy I didn't realise they were that much x

I'm soo jealous of naturally skinny girls who can eat what they like! I'm struggling too Emmy been up since 5 I did a boot sale now I'm burnt with a banging headache! Had 3 shakes today but feel I need to eat for it to go :( Try having a shake it might take the sweet craving away

You both look amazing!! Snap Emmy back on shakes today! Juicing is a bit too time consuming for my liking! 3 shakes today gonna try have one before bed instead of a dinner as it's the only way I'm gonna lose what I need to in time for the wedding!!

Jeanette I always do that before holiday! I can be really good and as soon as I get close I end up cheating! Same with the day before weigh in it's like a pressure thing!!

Hope he's ok Emmy x No good I thought this would go well as it's a change but I just had a sandwich, first one in months! I've noticed I eat when I'm tired! I stopped taking my iron which was prescribed when I had baby but I think I might need to go back on it!! Also got all the OH's friends...

Ahh Emmy hope he's ok? I don't blame you for coming off plan x

First day going ok but hard :( whilst cooking other halfs dinner went to eat a bit if chicken and it fell out of my hand and onto the floor... It obviously wasn't meant to be!! Also started taking sea kelp, supposed to be good for speeding up metabolism! Hope everyone's doing well today X

Similar to the Jason Vale one Martine, bought all the stuff today so am now starting tomorrow! Hope everyone doing well...

Juicing myself Emmy x

I think I'm gonna try juicing, I'm getting a bit bored of the shakes and think I need something new, will start Monday... I've done it before and enjoyed it just didn't have the time when working to make up the juices! Fingers crossed this will get things moving x

Well done Martine! A loss is a loss your on the right track! Been really hot here all week too although I haven't had a chance to sit in it! 26 degrees tomorrow too! Not too sure on firming creams I don't think I have ever used them long enough for them to work! Has anyone heard of aloe Vera...

Same as you again I don't gain anywhere in particular it's just all over! I lose it first in my face... Hold majority of weight in my legs! That's gonna be hard don't judge! They don't go easy on the potatoes either! Where abouts in Ireland are you going? My family is from Waterford & Wexford.

I'm same height as you! I'm a comfortable 14 though we must hold the weight different, I've bought a maxi for the weekend and that was a 12 but mainly 14 esp in jeans! Size 4 feet they never get smaller but my engagement ring is sliding off far too easy so must have lost it in my fingers

We're always the same Jeanette, only 2lb but can't complain after the weekend! Ooo Italian there's not too many low carb choices there! Same Emmy having the odd meal tuna salad for dinner... Had a couple for frankfurters yesterday usually I wouldn't have them but 0.1g carb per one so does the job!

And Jeanette how was your weigh in x

Welcome don't judge, not heard of your diet assuming low carb? Good luck you've done well and glad your in the zone!! 12st 12lb today! Soo bloody happy a long time coming! Now to stay in the 12s! Gonna try all shakes this week as I have arranged a picnic Saturday for my friends birthday (also...

Welcome Steph... Good luck!! Don't feel too bad Debs it's soo hard especially long term!! Weigh in tomorrow for me x

Soo bad! It's always the last minute good weather plans that get me! I'm never prepared x

No good at the weekend! Shakes only for me today too!! X

That's a massive loss Emmy! You'll be looking to get into the 11s soon x

I know but it was the only thing on the list that I'm doing it does actually say it only effects some people so it's worth a try!! All of that said I moved my scales into the bathroom which is where I always used to weigh and it went down to 12st 10, I moved it slightly to be sure and back up...

Still haven't got under so I googled 'not losing on a low carb diet' one of the reasons is too much dairy... almost every day I have a couple of slices of cheese as they are low in carbs! Apparently the protein in cheese can spike your insulin or something anyways I have no idea what that means...

Argggghhhhhhh 13st on the button soo frustrating! I even took my jumper off to see if I could get under lol!! We'l done Jeanette I know you've been waiting for this day!! Emmy I'm booking to go to a shop in 2 weeks that should give me an incentive to get half stone off before then! X

Well done Emmy!!! X

I fried with chilli flakes, cumin, garlic, madras power and added passata, was really tasty! I hate the fishy smell before you wash it tho x

Jerusha the STW choc shakes are yum there all I have and I don't get bored! Weighing tomorrow now as have had a busy day and no time to go to nans! Past 2 days been good just had meatballs with slim noodles was delicious!! X

Not too bad lunch wise! I've already got a glass of Prosecco in hand but alcohol doesn't count :)

Just caught up!! Jeanette what is it with being under 13 it's as if my subconscious won't let me, prob cos I want it so bad! Anyway been back on for 2 days now and down to 13.2! Struggling with the shakes tho only having 1 a day and 1 no carb meal I'm not hungry for them but I know I'd prob have...

Sorry I've been quiet, this weekends gone to pit! Plan was to get back on it today but that hasn't happened :(

Jeanette I bought a dress almost identical to that pink one from TK Max yesterday! How weird

I know, every pound counts ay!! But you've already lost soo much I feel I'm just at the start of my journey! I think 2.5 last week and 3 the week before! Must be in the 12s next week!! I've got too nights out drinking this weekend soo will stock up on carb free hangover food if there is any such...

Thank you Rhino you'd be surprised how much better that made me feel! Might have it as my screen saver! Did your shakes come yet?

Weighed 13.1lb! So 1.5 off! Not happy much! X

A coffee and weighed an hr after! Fingers crossed for tomorrow!! Well done for your 9lb loss Del that's amazing!!

My nans scale is the 'official' one but mines usually the same! maybe my coffee weight 2lb lol! I always wee first too :)

Good day here too! One shake and a salad will have another shake in a bit as craving chocolate right now! Same Jeanette I wanna be in the 12s! Weighed on my scales this morning and was 13st so it looked likely then went to my nans and was 13.2st on hers :(!!

Welcome Rhino! Do it Emmy think of how good you will feel after a few days! I keep slipping up, soo annoying! But the good weather this weekend has spurred me on again!

Welcome both and good luck x

Well done everyone! Big losses! Lovely top Jeanette! Summers coming :) x

Claire welcome! You're at my idealish weight I'm jealous! Well done so far and not sure about their site I've never had any problems. Hopefully it works soon I never liked the soups on other plans so shake that weight works well for me! X

Welcome Debs, I feel for you working with food all day! Total replacement is probably your best option and if you feel you need something just have some chicken at the ready! I agree with Martine re shopping online I also think you get better offers too that you don't necessarily see in store...

Hi Del, drink loads of water, and have a bath and early night! You just need to get through these first 3 days! Luck x

Same as you Jeanette! 13 2.5lb! I was this weight on Friday too soo was hoping for a bigger number today! Stayed on plan apart from my baileys coffee Saturday night! Very odd maybe just one of them weeks and will come off next week! Here's hoping! X

My goal for next week is to get into re 12s too! Go us!!

God it's been horrible here with rain! Sunny too but very wet! Almost a 14 Jeanette that's good news! X

Welcome Gem, I think it all depends on your weight and if you are having only shakes or a meal also! I'd say average after the first week is 2-4 lbs, that's mine anyway and I'm having a no carb meal in the eve. Lost 4lb this week girls happy with that as I woke up depressed feeling as though I...

Oh and Martine I have the WW digital ones but have to weigh in the exact same spot as the slightest movement and the numbers can vary by a few lb so I probably wouldn't recommend them x

Hanngun the only thing that stops me eating is remembering how I'm gonna feel the next morning! I love waking up knowing that's another day down! Went out for dinner last night, my mum nan and OH are all on plan soo made it soo much easier not to have chips! I had a Baileys coffee for dessert...

Bless him Emmy hope he's better soon and thank god it wasn't the worst outcome!! X

Feeling positive today, had a sneaky weigh in as was feeling lighter and was 13st 2 that's over 4lb loss since Tuesday! Just goes to show that the odd cheat day does make a difference! As I usually don't lose this much in a whole week never mind 3 days! It has been easier as the OH has been...

It's good in a way but frustrating in the summer when I'd like to wear a short dress! I live in maxis!!

I'm a 14 at the moment, sometimes 12 on top so you mustn't be far off a 14 Jeanette! I know everyone carries their weight different though, I hold a lot of my weight on my legs so easily covered up! Just for the record it's 20 to 5 and I'm starving already :( god help me today!!

I'm 5'5 and I was 13st 4 as of this morning, I felt 'slim' when I weighed 10st 10 so that would be amazing for the wedding! Martine did you start today?

Mine is my wedding on 6th September so 4 months, my plan is to try on dresses in a month so would like to lose a bit by then preferably a stone! X

Well done both of you, good losses! I been sticking to plan so feeling happy! Welcome Martine and good luck for tomorrow!! I really wish I was a fun 'sober' but I'm not so I stick to vodka and soda! I don't think it affects weight loss it's the following day that I struggle and then end up...

Yep that sounds like Ketosis, have you weighed yet or are you gonna wait till Friday?

Everyone's doing well! I been on and off should still get a small loss this week! My OH is gonna try shakes from tomorrow, he's not big but changed jobs to a not so active one so he's put in a little! Should make it easier if we're both doing it!! Me hopes x

Your not far off pre holiday weight now!! Did a boot sale this morning and managed to dodge a burger for breakfast (usually the only reason I bother doing one) lol Lovely day today hope everyone's enjoying! I'm off for a nap!

Sorry I wasn't question the coffee there was a face there which turned into a '?' :)

Blenders good for mixing but if you are using a shaker as you said just mix for longer! Yes and coffee is fine to drink ?

Wow Jeanette that's impressive! Emmy you was doing soo well! It's soo hard to get back into once you've gone off track! You will get back on when you're ready! X

We're gonna go with the first as it fits our theme more she's quoted £600 for 6 tiers so the lower end! Expensive but it will be served as part of our desert so can't complain! That's enough pictures of yummy cakes it's all too tempting!

Agreed! the original cost was £850 but the lady I'm meeting is charging between 6/700 still very expensive but I've seen noting else I love and think I'll regret it if I don't! £250 is amazing for yours I think it looks more expensive than that. My mum sent me this one I'm gonna enquire price...

Love yours Emmy, our wedding colours are pastel too! This is ours but we're having to drive an hour to the lady who can do it as a lot said it was to technical!

Wow you must have really indulged! Bet the food *wine* was amazing! As long as you had a good time you worked so hard you definitely deserved it!! And it will come off just as quick I'm sure! Hope it's not too hard to get back into it! Hanngun good luck for your start day tomorrow! You'll...

Lost 3lb today not bad as have only been back on properly since Saturday! Hope everyone's good x

Sometimes I save 2 shakes for desert after dinner mixed together the chocolate ones take away my chocolate craving!

Yeah that makes sense that's what I do I alternate days sometimes I feel I don't need a meal and sometimes I can't go without... Just make sure your prepared, food wise. Good luck for today Emmy hopefully it's all out of your system now x

I don't use ketostix I know when I'm in ketosis you have a burst of energy and are not very hungry! I crave for the taste of food rather than actually being hungry! And yes from STW direct, I've done cambridge and there really is no difference in taste. Are you going to do just packs or have...

Emmy how have you got on today are you back on track? Welcome Hanngun, agree with everything Emmy has said drink loads of water it's easy to forget to on this after a few days in but it really does help! Everyday you will feel that bit better and that should spur you on and assuming this is...

Not chosen a dress just ones I like, I assume it will be tighten at the back dresses as that's the style of the bridesmaids dresses! So far so good today! About to have another shake x

I know I blow the lot once I've cheated a little! 3stone preferably! I think it's doable but I need to get on it now and stop putting it off! I wanna start again today but I've got cake tasting on Wednesday which makes me think what's the point... I know that's stupid!! I also need to act fast...

That's not even bad at least you've made a good choice! No good I had a wrap for dinner last night as we were out till late and I'd had no shakes! Every day I have something I shouldn't!! :( I need to sort myself out really!!

Emmy I need some of your willpower!!

Me too Jayne, hoping for bigger numbers next week! :)

Not doing this just being good! X

Lost 1.5 pound would have been more if I didn't cheat! I've lost 11.5 pounds in 6 weeks so just gotta look at it in that sense and be happy! How are you getting on have you had a weekly weigh in!?

6th September, just got back she was really nice!! It's getting exciting now! Yours is next July right? X

I think I'm gonna have one no carb meal a day hopefully that will curb temptation to cheat. I'm pretty sure that won't effect your weight loss! Shakes still not come yet and meeting wedding photographer at 5 so might not get to nans today, if not will go tomorrow which suits me and gives me...

Yes I had some! I'm such an idiot, I always mess up one or two days before weigh in day! My choc shakes are coming today and I will go to my nans after to weigh as we do that weekly! Hopefully they come soon as I weigh less in the morning lol! Back on it properly today!!!

Enjoy Jeanette! Soo far so good but they've just brought out the cream egg cheese cake which apparently I 'have' to try! Hope everyone's enjoying the weather!!

We're having a BBQ so I'm happy x

Well done Emmy!! I had a slip up yesterday girls and had a cupcake! Hoping it doesn't send me of track for dinner at the OH's dads today! He knows I'm being good I've given him the task of no carb pickys as he always does the most amazing sausage rolls!!

Sounds easily doable Jeanette, you'll be fine! You'll have to keep us posted

Is that diet 5 on 2 off Jeanette? It must work as people rave about it, as long as you can can control your eating in the 2 off days you'd be fine! That's the only thing that scares me is that I would over indulge! You will be absolutely fine Emmy the fat doesn't take you out of ketosis it's...

Well done! You've definitely earnt your diet free holidays!!

Luckily my boys not old enough for eggs yet! I've already had to suffer my OH scoffing a celebrations egg the last 2 evenings! Wasn't even tempted to be honest but early days yet. Victoria sponge is my fave! Wow! You have lost loads already!! How long did it take you to lose all of that? Was...

Enjoy your lunch Jeanette, I'm jealous! Hopefully the weather picks up at least it's not cold (where I am anyway) is it next week you go on holiday? Are you back on plan once your back? What is everyone's weigh in days?

It's such a vicious circle! Mine usually ends with one night of drinking and making bad hungover decisions but I'm totally focused now, I have one party end of May but that's a while off yet. I only have caramel and caffe latte left at the moment and their hard to stomach where as I look...

Just had a look at their website Jeanette! I like that they've got the 'shake and go' shakes! I tend not to bother with a shake when in out! I wonder if I can mix the 2 as just ordered 2 weeks worth of mine! Might just order a few ready made for when I'm out... Have you tasted them?

Exactly the same as me! I lost a lot and then for the past few years I do it for a few weeks at a time and when I'm 'planning' to start I eat ridiculous amounts the days coming up to it as I say "it'll be my last take away or piece of cake" and I honestly believe it! Oh well it'll be different...

Shepherds pie will defo take you out! Try not to eat the mash just think it will take 3 days of torture to get you back in... Again easier said than done! Good luck

I feel for you!! Go have a bath... That always helps me when I'm feeling deprived? Just remember how good you'll feel in the morning having not cheated!! How long have you been on plan Emmy? It's probably on the thread somewhere but there's too many posts to read all of them!

I definitely can't get out of it, just shakes but I've almost run out and no delivery till Tuesday (forgot about the bank hol when ordering) anyway so from this eve I'm just gonna have meat and veg/salad until Tuesday along with 2 shakes!! So I'm hoping there is some sort of meat and veg for...

Going shopping today is as good as going on the weekend people drive me mad too! I do it online when I can!! Really wanted food today but just had a slice of cheese, figured it wouldn't kick me out of ketosis! Love a good corned beef pie!! We're going to my partners dads for dinner Monday...

That's understandable and a 5/6 week holiday sounds amazing x

Look at Portugal too if you haven't been already! Albufeira's lovely and loads to do! X

Thanks Jeanette, it was lovely and sunny here although I spent the day cleaning so didn't get to see much of it! Kept me busy though which worked as still on track (only day 2 so not much of an achievement but I'm happy and no headache as yet) hopefully I'll get into ketosis without the horrible...

Hi, I'm not sure on the Superdrug version but if you are looking for a similar cheaper alternative have a look at 'shake that weight' the shakes taste amazing and are half the price of Cambridge without compromising on taste/nutritional values. You can also order online for next day delivery...

Hi, Yesterday I started the Shake That Weight diet plan, similar to Cambridge and Lighter Life both of which I have done before. I am keen to buddy up with anyone doing something similar to compare notes and support each other! I have 3stone plus to lose! Come say hi :) xxx

Hi, Hoping I can join you I'm doing shake that weight (3shakes a day) so similar to Cambridge. I'm getting married in September, had a baby 2 months ago and I weigh 13st 10 I need to get into the 10's by then so 3st+ to lose! I got through my first day yesterday of 3 shakes although I've...

Thanks Emmy I did lighter life a few years back but have never done total shakes so am nervous but soo badly want results, I'm just hoping I can stick to it! What better incentive than getting married I can't bear the thought of even trying on a dress yet! Thanks for all your tips and good luck...

Hi all, Hoping I can join you (currently weighing 13st 10lb) I had a baby 9 weeks ago and still have a stone to go to be pre baby weight. I'm getting married in September (no pressure ?) but would like to lose 3stone at least. I'm on day one of shake that weight 2 shakes so far going to maybe...
