I can't even spell my own name!! What a dumbass!

Good Morning All, I have joined weightwatchers and I have 10 stone to lose. I will be keeping a record of my daily eats on here to make sure that I am being good!! At the moment I get 53 ProPoints per day and am aiming to not use my weekly allowance of 49 ProPoints. Breakfast 2 medium...

Good Morning All! I have recently signed up to ww as I have a considerable amount of weight to lose! I am going to keep a record of my weight losses her to inspire me to keep on track!! I get weighed on a Sunday and my first week loss was ..... 6lbs!! Still a very long way to go but I am...

Ache is an understatement!! I'm in AGONY!! I'll be up at 5:30am tomorrow morning to do a 2.5K swim for our local hospice! I am like the charity exercise machine at the moment! haha! Have a lovely weekend guys!! A xx

Thank you so much to everyone who sponsored me and for all the words of encouragement! I am still alive! I have a VERY painful foot but I am very proud to say that I did it! xxx

Thank you Wairimu! This is just a BHF run, I have no idea about finding runs where you can do it for your own charity - sorry!

Thank you so much Caz! Cycling Cuba?!?! Wow!! That's amazing!

Thank you so much Jim, much appreciated!!

I will be completing a 10K run tonight for the British Heart Foundation! The main reason that I am doing this is because one of my best friends recently lost her father very suddenly from a heart attack, this was a very sad shock to us all. I will be running in his memory and will be wearing...

I am even more excited now I have realised that today is my halfway point!! I have now lost 7 stone and have 7 left to go!! Wooooooooooooooooooha!! Kickass weightloss!! A xx

As of today I am 7 stone away from my target with 7 stone already gone! Wow .... today is my halfway point! How cool is that?! Lyss x

Aww .... thanks guys :D Still a LONG way to go yet!!

Here, Here! The advice, support and pics of you in funky hats are much appreciated Jim!! Lyss xx

Welcome! I think you may be setting your expectations a bit high with 1 stone in 3 weeks, maybe you should consider breaking your goals down into more manageable chunks? There is nothing more demotivating than setting a target that you then don't achieve! Lyss xx

Mr Porkys have carbs ... Morrisons own scratchings come in a red packet and have none. I can't stand them but I was advised by a friend that they're the ones to get. I've been told to avoid sugar free jelly, my friend told me that the ones you make up yourself have less hidden carbs but the...

Drool .... I LURVE the haha chicken liver pate ... it's lush!

Welcome! I'm new to Atkins too having followed a VLCD torture diet and then ww's for a long time. If you stick rigidly to the rules ... it works! xx

I keep all my dairy for the day within the 4oz allowance. I have found that if you invest in a REALLY good quality non stick pan then it drastically reduces the amount of fat that you need to use for cooking which means you can use your dairy elsewhere. I cannot have cheese at all though, my...

I promise not to be a weigh-in bore and update you all every week but it was my first weigh in this morning and i've lost .... (drumroll please) .... 14lbs!! A WHOLE piggin STONE!! I am so happy :D I never thought i'd lose that much in my first week on anything other than a VLCD! If it...

I LOVE greens. I have to be very careful measuring mine as I could easily have too many!

I am sure this has been done before but I always like to know what motivated people to make the change and lose the weight - so hopefully you won't mind telling me again ;) My weight loss journey started on a plane back from Italy with my best friend. We had been for a lovely week long holiday...

Wooo! I can't believe i'm so excited about a damn pepperami but I do love them so!!

The original pepperami that I have in my fridge that I brought and was then too scared to eat says that it has 0.6g of carbs per 25g stick ... is that the right one?

Some of Kent is lovely ... unfortunately not so much where I live haha! I'd love to move to the Kent coast one day but that would somewhat hinder my commute to London each day for work! A x

The orginal recipe says they can be stored for a few days wrapped in kitchen roll.

My sticks only change colour with the first wee of the day! During the day I drink SO much water that my wee is too watered down to effect the sticks! Hope that helps?! A x

I think they're vile! I'd much rather cook a chicken breast and cut it into little bits to snack on during the day! I can't wait to be out of induction and have some pepperami ... or am I allowed that now? i've avoided it thus far!

Oooh coco - you live in Kent too!! Whereabouts are you?! I am feeling SO good today!! I have been sleeping like a log too, today and yesterday I slept through my alarm - is that normal?

Thank you all for the kind comments!! Still a long way to go ... A x

Sorry to hear you're suffering! I have a question ... is it normal to be super windy pops on this diet? I've been foofing like a trooper .... hope no-one comes near my desk!! Haha!

Haha! Love it! I would be exactly the same ... which is probably why no-one would play with me!! Lyss xx

I'd love to play tennis but my hand/eye co-ordination is horrendous!! Haha!

... or a trainer ... unless i'm actually running training courses i'm pretty much on here all day ;o) A x

Draw a line and start fresh! You can do this :D xx

Thanks guys! Mets - it took me a long time to get there but exercise is seriously addictive once you start!!

Good Morning All! I have been lurking for a while and thought it was about time that I introduced myself!! I started Atkins on Monday having followed a VLCD and WW's over the past 18 months, during that time I have lost 6 stone. I have gone from being a complete lazy cow that does nothing...

Glad to find someone else like me! My response to people who congratulate me on my willpower is usually " Yeah, it's not willpower it's sheer bloodyminded stubborness!" I'm not gonna let the feeder inside me win!! haha! I will keep you updated on the run .... it's such a huge achievement...

Coke Zero and Dr Pepper Zero have no citric acid ... although I wouldn't have too many of them!

VLCDs are HARD work to start with - but they do work, I promise! Stick with it and drink water when you get the hunger pangs - it does help! If you make it through the first week then you can do this ... and you'll be surprised at the amount of energy you get in Ketosis! Invest in a good...

Hey! I'm doing good thanks! I have been away for a while as I have been switching between diets! I started on w8 for a kick start and then I have been following wws for a while but struggle with the slow weight loss! haha! I have been mainly focusing on getting fitter recently and am completing...

To put that much on that quickly it definately sounds like water retention! If you focus 100% for the next 3 days i'm sure you'll lose that weight, combined with exercise as well you CAN get into the dress! Good luck xx

You look sensational honey, although to be fair you were very beautiful before too. Well done on the weight you have lost and good luck with the weight you want to shift now xx

Such honesty and positivity is a real inspiration. Well done, you look amazing xx

Wow! What an inspiration! You look absolutely stunning ladycakes! Lyss xx

Thank you so much for your help! I'm still learning this stuff having just come off a milkshake based diet!!

I only have 1 ovary (the other one never developed properly) and I have PCOS. I suffer from the horrific facial hair which I get threaded (my beautician is a saint!) to make me look less Chewbacca like. I only have about 3 periods a year and even when I do have them they only last for 3...

Prom Night was the last comedy film I saw. It was billed as a horror but was so ridiculous it was laughable. If you've not seen it, don't bother! A x

I feel your pain. I have now lost 3 stone and 6lbs and see no difference at all in the mirror. My clothes are loose but people can't really see it either, it's very disheartening but i'm sure it'll be noticable soon ... I hope! A x

Good Morning Ladies and Gents, I have finally taken the time to have a look around the boards and just wanted to introduce myself to the WeMITTS boards as I still have a LONG way to go :) I am following the W8 programme and have lost 3 stone 4lbs so far (unofficially the last 5lbs as I...

I was concerned about this too and am going the VCLD route. So far the rest of me is shrinking but the girls are staying the same so god knows whats gonna happen .... I'm not sure a JJ cup size would look good on a size 12 frame! lol! I'm doing lots of exercise and using oodles of bio oil (god...

According to my unofficial figures (I can't get to see my consultant due to work commitments this week ) I have 9 stone 10lbs to go! A xx

Hey, I can understand that this must be a very difficult time for you finding out that you have both of these problems at the same time. I remember being told I had PCOS and the doctor did paint it in a very poor light, I have additional complications that have been discovered since but it...

Thank you Sharon! :o) It is expensive but I can honestly say that it's the only thing that's worked for me! I've heard v good things about all of the VLCDs so it's about finding the best one for you! Good luck in whatever you decide to do A x

I just wanted to let everyone know. My daily workouts are a pleasure, joining Curves was the best thing i've done for a long time.

I can tell you that w8 is £49 per week and that is for 4 meal packs per day. The good thing about my diet is that you get to add a meal on some programmes and we do Spagetti Bolognaise and Chicken Noodle meal packs if you need something to chew! I love it and have lost 3 stone in 8 weeks so far!

Thank you! It's very exciting! A x

When I started W8 8 weeks ago I had 13 stone to lose. I only have 10 to go now! Woo!! I'll let you know when I get down to 6 left to go! ;)

I don't think that you would weigh enough to do a VLCD which would be the quickest way to lose weight Reckon you just need to get down the gym a bit more and work it into muscle! A

I witnessed a good friend mess her pants on a night out having taking slimming tablets .... that was enough to put me off for life!

Wow! You look gorgeous! I started at almost the same weight and size as you (although I am doing w8) so to see your pics is a real inspiration to me!! Well done you! A x

I'm not doing LL but I am following W8 which is obv another VLCD. What that article fails to mention is that the girl that died was originally 33 stone, at that weight the pressure on her heart would have been immense and therefore this situation could have occured anyway! Furthermore, the...

From what I understand, Yes.

I actually know a very close friend of Natalie Cassidy (Sonia from Eastenders) and can tell you that she is actually far happier now. She struggled a LOT to lose all of that weight and had a personal trainer with her nearly 24 hours a day!

I was told that you have to have over 50 posts ... now i'm not so sure!!

Birthday

I'm a single gal!! I'm fat because I ate too many pies, drank too much Jack Daniels and enjoyed myself too much! I've had 28 years of indulgence then the lightbulb clicked on and now i'm looking forward to being slim! Haha!
