Got my skipping rope, it's pretty decent! It counts calories and how many skips you've done so I did this and sent a pic to the bf and he said 'f*** me you're a machine!' Ha. Now just to keep it up...

Plus told the bf I'm getting a skipping rope and he said something like 'oh is this another one of your things? Not very good at sticking to these things are you!' Grrr I laughed it off but I will show him!!!

Ugh I could cry, it's been a week since I started and I've put a pound ON! The curry last night was quite salty so maybe that has had an effect. This is probably the kick up the bum I needed though so that I don't go overboard on my days off. Think I need to start counting calories on my...

Did my signature Thai beef curry tonight, not the healthiest of meals! Starting the new week with a new attitude and making more healthy choices. Will get back into exercise now too as that always helps. Considering counting calories on most of my up days too with maybe one uncounted cheat...

Oh dear no step away from the skipping rope! Exam went really well so I'm so pleased, couldn't be bothered getting hair cut so I didn't :) treated myself to a little cheapy dress and a top and leggings from forever 21. Tried a few fitted ones on in a medium and they were too big :) Drunk too...

Got hardly any sleep :'-( really loud birds outside my house who are up at 5 and I need the window open...hope they migrate soon! Exam is at 10 til 12.30, planning a healthy lunch at EAT ( my fave place) and gonna look in the sports shop for a skipping rope cos it looks fun and I read I could...

Lovely where are you going? I am the same, the minute I'm off plan I try and make the most of it by eating lots :-/ but just try and keep busy and don't undo your hard work so far. You're allowed treats and breaks so don't worry too much! I've definitely over eaten on most of my feast days but...

Are you feeling any better? X

Scoffed a sharing bag of minstrels and too many biccies today...tried to limit damage by going for an hours power walk burning 320 cals and will be doing a fair bit of walking tomorrow...albeit round the shops ;-) Felt really Ill by the end of yesterday's fast so think I had a treat day to...

Fasted weight 10 stone 4.2 so up from last time...but my true weight on the app is down to 10 stone 5.1 so 0.7 pounds lost so far...can live with that :) Lots of exam cram to do tonight before my resit tomorrow :'-(

Someone brought biccies in today and I nearly sacrificed my beans for one but thank god I resisted! Got through on one slim a soup, one hot chocolate and a beechams hot drink. Bit lightheaded but not hungry. Was a lot easier than fast number 1. Let's hope they carry on getting easier!

This was last nights pudding - amaretto and pecan semifreddo, you'd think it was from a restaurant! And there's about 4 more portions in the freezer! Thanks god for 5:2 :-)

Caught a cold but dosed up on painkillers and ready for my second fast today. Planning on getting through the workday on a slim a soup and an options hot Choc and coming home to a fishcake and maybe a few beans... Had lovely indulgent 3 course meal last night made by the bf, I nearly told him...

Fab well done!!

I think it takes an average so that you don't get upset with fluctuations - someone on 5:2 recommended it so thought I'd give it a go as I'm an obsessive weigher... I will fit the fast days around my social life but it will be usually Mondays and Thursdays as I tend to see my bf on Wednesdays...

Have enjoyed my food today and kept a rough track to make sure I don't go over 1700. 2 hours of stinky revision to do tonight :'-(

P.s where did you find the documentary? I've looked on YouTube but all I could find was clips of it :(

Yay glad it's going well :-)

Fasted weight 10 stone 4. Am using the true weight app which says my true weight is now 10 stone 5.5 :)

Feels like Christmas Eve waiting for morning so I can have a nice bowl of fruit and fibre mmm! How sad :-P

I'm the opposite I find it easier at work except when people bring cakes in :-/ I had: Danio blueberry yoghurt Ww tomato soup Alpen/Special K bar hazelnut and almond Small tin of spaghetti hoops Apple Looking forward to tomorrow so I can eeeeat ha ha

First fast day almost over and I've dug out the cookery books I've never allowed myself to use because I have been on a diet for at least 10 years. This is the first time I'll be able to eat normally guilt-free, which is pretty amazing. Having said that I'm not going to go mad and am going to...

Sounds like you're doing well and plan for tomorrow sounds good :) I just started today with my first fast and it has been ok! Good luck x

Starting weight 10 stone 5.8 Goal weight 9 stone 9 10.8 pounds to go in 10 weeks!

Sounds like you're doing fab well done!

You and the food both look great! I'm doing my first fast today, you've made me want to give it a good go!

Hello everyone :) another serial dieter here! Giving 5:2 a go from tomorrow as am finding too hard to stick to doing the same thing every day. I tried to do this before and didn't make it through my first fast so hoping to be more successful this time! I've got 10 weeks to go before I go on...

You look amazing and you are so determined, it has made me want to do 5:2 fasting too so I will start soon. Check you out!! Enjoy Leeds xx

Hi jelly belly :) At the moment I'm just getting the F1 shakes and taking normal multivitamins. Am not doing the tea though I've had it before and it does give you energy so I'm considering getting some. I would also get some snack bars as they are tasty and easy to take with you. I just didn't...

Thank you I think I needed to hear that! Day has gone really well food wise I stuck to the plan. Making spicy chicken fillets as a snack now and will have my shake later. I persuaded my colleagues to eat all the cookies so they are all gone :) Turns out party is on the 9th so 4 weeks tomorrow!

Day 1 - feeling good. Weight 10 stone 4.4 Plan for today - Choc shake for breakfast Subway chicken teriyaki salad or wholemeal sandwich for lunch or something from Tesco Vanilla and butterscotch shake for tea Snacks - babybel, Apple and banana Evening - 2 hours of revision and tidy up a bit.

The last couple of days haven't been great food-wise. I am not dwelling on it just drawing a line so here it is: -------------------------------------------------------- I am going to keep a food diary for the next 30 days which brings me nearly to the party, and my realistic but challenging...

Today I've struggled to get through at work - was v tempted by the charity cake box but I resisted temptation :) my Choc shake wasn't great either, think I will get tropical flavour and some snack bars soon. Had some tinned apples warmed up with cinnamon for pud tonight and just cooked up some...

That sounds like a great idea :) always good to have a new goal to aim for. You can do it! X

Absent without leave, I think it's an army thing! If it's the first time in 3 months then it's good going. Just draw a line under it and move on tomorrow. One good day and you will start to feel better already xx

Weekend went well including meet the parents! Think I got the thumbs up :) Had Sunday off and drank loads on Saturday night but I didn't do too badly. Cravings for naughty stuff pretty much gone which is amazing. Weighed this morning at 10 stone 4.8 which is great considering. Hope the wine...

Down to 10 stone 4.2 now so nearly 5 pounds lost! My aim is to keep it off til Tuesday as am out for the meal/drinks tonight. Should burn a lot off today though frantically looking for an outfit in town as still have not found anything! On the plus side I had to ask for a size 10 in topshop as...

Looks like you are doing amazing to me! When's your next weigh in?

Good that you are having a bit of a fresh start. 6 months of working out and doing herbalife and you'll be like superwoman! Go for it! X

That's great, well done! X

Hi guys :) thanks for your support it really helps me get through the day :) Today has been good - inspired by the American recipes online for shakes I mixed a bit of no added sugar butterscotch angel delight in my vanilla shake this morning and omg it was lush! Had chilli with salad for tea...

Well done you! Great that you are improving times despite the heat :)

Sounds good jade but not sure I could trust myself with a jar of it hanging around! I'll give it a go though :) Today's been good, had my vanilla shake with maple syrup then Choc shake. Went to the bfs for tea and we got a takeaway! But I got chicken bhuna which didn't seem too bad, and had it...

Just weighed in and am down 2.4 pounds since yesterday! I know it's all water etc but it's still a good feeling :)

It's good so far, only done one day but feeling positive. I've done it before and have up cos of cost and I was gutted as it was the first thing that worked for me that wasn't a hellish low carb thing!

Plan for tomorrow: Vanilla shake for breakfast maybe with blueberries Chocolate shake with choc soya milk this time, hopefully it tastes better! Snacks - apple and almonds, yoghurt and rice cakes Going to the bf's for tea, he is very good and always cooks something yummy and healthy - I'm a...

Welcome! I just started yesterday and aiming towards September too as going on holiday. Good luck, just take it one day at a time and you'll be fine :)

I've had the turbofire DVDs for about 2 years and am still not bored of them - they are hard but so much fun that it makes it easier if that makes sense. They have a schedule that if you follow it for 3 months it's meant to transform your body - I made a start on it once but gave up :( but could...

Lunch sounds yummy! And well done on the running goal, more than a mile a day is ace!

Haha thanks everyone :) really enjoyed my vanilla shake this morning but my chocolate one was a bit horrid :( need to find things to mix it with rather than plain milk. Chilli for tea then am going for a quick look round the shops. Hope everyone's having a good day :) x

Survived pizza! I enjoyed the smell but none passed my lips!

That sounds good I'll check it out after work. Well my starting weight is higher than expected at 10 stone 9 so I have a stone to lose before my holiday which is 12 weeks on Friday. I am so determined!

Well it's the night before!!The chippy tea wasn't too bad I only had half a portion. It's funny that since I've decided to do Herbalife I've been losing my appetite which is helpful, I hope it lasts! Plan for tomorrow is: Breakfast: Vanilla shake with blueberries Lunch: Chocolate shake Dinner...

Sounds like you had a great day! I love Turbofire!!!

I can't believe those people said those things to you but good on you for carrying on regardless. I'm a bit jel of your watch it looks ace! When you have soya milk do you have sweetened or unsweetened? X

I did think about it but I'm away this weekend and not back til Monday anyway and figured one day won't make much difference. It's about 12 weeks til I go on holiday to America so I want to get to my goal by then and wear a size 10 pair of denim shorts!

My order has arrived! I'll start on Tuesday! Eeee!!!

Well done on signing up for the half marathon, it will definitely focus your efforts!

That's amazing, well done you! Hope I can have similar success as you! Looking forward to the extra energy :) Don't know if anyone else noticed but in my big Tesco today I noticed they are having a healthy living aisle til the end of August, they were selling all sorts of high protein goodies...

My order has been dispatched, yay! Next job is to get rid of the crap in the cupboards!

Haha I understand your excitement, I love getting stuff in the post, so much more exciting than going to the shop! The estimated delivery is between Friday and Monday so I'm planning on starting on Tuesday. I know there's no good time to start but I'm going to mum's on Monday night cos it's my...

Thanks Jade, your meals sound really nice especially the fajitas :) I can't wait to start!! x

Thanks Clover :) it has been a couple of years since I last did it, at the time I used to travel about 45 mins to go and see my distributor who was very good to be fair but I felt pressured into buying loads of products, plus the petrol getting there, and I gave up because of the cost of it. It...

Hello all :) I have just bitten the bullet and ordered 2 tubs of Herbalife F1 (vanilla and choc) - I seem to be on a different diet every week these days and it's been getting me down. I feel really miserable all the time and feel like I'll never lose the weight! But I know Herbalife works cos...

Hello lovely people :) After a brief and hellish stint over at The Dark Side (aka weight watchers), I have decided to come back to Slimming World and blooming well stick to it until I reach my goal of 9 stone 9 - official weigh in tomorrow but I think I have around 10 pounds to lose. Can't...
