Terrific loss Bikini - would you not stay in CWP and move up levels to maintenance? I'm just back on diet after a whole month off eating and drinking all around me! 2 days 100% so far... have enough packs to last me til my first WI on 2nd May, here's hoping I'm back to where I was (or lower!)

Bravo! That's a brilliant loss! Will you keep going now?

Meet your sister! I'm starting back today after a whole month off... I planned to have three weeks off as my sister got married on 16th March, plus another friend was getting married on 8th April. Then other events popped up pushing the restart to this week. Was supposed to start on Monday...

How are you getting on? I'm in same boat as you - getting married in June but will be happy to lose 4 stone for it... right now I'm 3lb away from 2 stone (waiting for my CDC to come for WI :D ) On the dress front - most are usually made on small side and can alter it two sizes down. If it's a...

How's everyone doing??? We've all gotten quiet! I was offline for a few weeks - picked up a bad infection had to take a week off... took a few days to get back into the swing of things. But this week, was firmly in the zone and touched 13st 13lb this morning - whoooop! Another 3lbs and I'll...

I don't care for the lose skin - latex and spandex can be our new best friends ;) as long as the label says '14' and not '22' :D and the BMI is under 30 and not over 40... Keep going girl!

Scooter's right! You've gone down in BMI! Good going missus! Two weeks ago - I picked up a bad viral chest infection and had to come off diet for a week cos of all the meds I had to take. Then this week I've had a rotten head cold/sinus infection all week - can't taste a bloody thing... But...

I'm on week 7 and down from size 22 to size 18 - that's with one week off the plan! So you CAN do it! Stay focused!

Have a lovely holiday FlicG! If you pile on a pound or three, so what - no regrets - just go and enjoy!

It's only in recent times that I think the mental part is just as important as the physical one... That's what helps to keep us in 'The Zone' IMO. ;-) FlicG did a good job reading into 'whys' and 'hows' along her personal journey. I made myself do a self-reflecting exploration as to where I...

Well done on your journey! I just read your diary - slow and sure certainly does it... Good luck on the final approach! Can you share a link to where we can get the waist clincher... does it really work at 'training' the midriff into shape?

You are doing well! But judging from the photos - you've got nothing to lose! You look great already! I agree with your CDC - you CAN get get to your target by end of February!

Pitching in, I'm on my 3rd week too! I'm following SS+ (shakes/soups plus a meal) - much easier than SS! You are doing well, stick to CD, and keep drinking the water!

I know this might be late for those interested... but I started SS+ (3 shakes/soups and one meal) I wasn't 100% good the first week, out of 6 days I was 100% for 4 of them and lost 9lb. Second week I was 100% for 7 days and lost 6lb... Going forward I expect an average loss of 3-4lb per week...

I agree - having the occasional blow-out should be allowed once it's not every day of the week! I know someone who does her own 5:2 version - 100% good, healthy, low carbs, small portions, no snacks, alcohol etc for 5 days then eats/drinks what she likes on 2 days... Not a bad system eh...

9 days 100% then slipped up on Saturday! :break_diet:But honking for Sunday! :happy036:

How did WI go Allneedles? Great loss K2C! 20lb in 2 weeks?! You are flying! I must ask for the mousse mix next week - I remember that from before, makes a nice change plus to have as a 'dessert' after my meal. I was unbelievable bold on Saturday night - I put on pizza for my daughter...

I wouldn't worry about 4lb... it might be any combo of things. Not doing it 100% - nibbling here/there, TOTM, or your body is resisting the ketosis; or you were already dieting before you started and the change in diets can confuse the metabolism ... if the latter you will see a huge loss next...

Doing great... 15lb gone in 2 weeks. I'm on SS+ but some days I'm only managing breakfast, lunch and evening meal. But after that if I'm not hungry I forget to take the last shake... this week I've the bars so that will be my evening nibble with black tea.

I'm on SS+ but some days I forget to take my last shake (I'm not hungry! ) so it's more SS (!) I'm afraid to taste or cheat as it will lead to bigger cheats! You are doing very well considering you had the odd choc nibble! Good luck with WI tomorrow!

Yes a week or so after you :-) very excited! We have a registry office on 5th June (just a legal formality) and the main ceremony the weekend. .. I've my size 14 dress for the registry bit hanging up in my room as an incentive! Now 13 days and 1stone 1lb gone! I'm on me way... If I get to...

WI this morning, another 6lb gone! Officially 1st 1lb gone in 13 days! At first my consultant said 5lb but when I counted it was actually 6lb... whoop! I'm not going to worry about saggy skin til it happens. But I'll be getting regular massages and will slap on the cream when I can... I'm a...

Well done Sky! Bravo! What a journey - love the humour throughout... great 'thinspiration' for me! :)

That was some storm wasn't it!? Belated happy birthday to you! :) You are doing well sticking to the plan and only having a wee cheat. I wouldn't want to be on CWP at all for my birthday... It'll be a big blow out day that's for sure - breakfast, lunch dinner and a gallon of prosecco! Then...

I've spent the last two days just reading your diary! Well done on the marvellous loss ... I know you are finding it hard now, at the end of the line, but with your lifestyle - it is not going to be easy. Don't beat yourself up... onwards and upwards - one day at a time! Coming up to the...

You look amazing! Well done! Did you get any "lower"?! How are you doing now???

I'm really liking the inspirational stories... just strange that there's no recent ones.

Brilliant "thinspirational" story! You look fantastic! I was delighted to see you maintained it for over 2 years! Did you notice a lot of saggy skin - did it tighten up over the next two years?

New here too... need to get my post count up!!

Amazing story- your wedding pictures are lovely! How are you doing now??

I thought we can't have bars or the spag bog til our 3rd week? I can't wait to get the bars so I can have a nibble in the evening... some evenings I have the chocolate with hot water to make hot chocolate. That keeps me sane! I've not felt any hunger since day 5/6 so this week is easy... I...

I enjoyed reading that! Can't see the pictures yet - but can imagine all the various foods and smells just from your report! Good luck with the restart and the travels! I'll be checking in again for the next instalment ;) Twiggy - are you on SS/SS+? You may not be able to exercise or...

Can I join ye? I started on 4/1/15 - this is the second week... so far I'm 100% this week. Like you, I've 6 stone to lose, I expect to lose it by 1st June. BIG plan! But do-able according to my consultant! ;)

Welcome back Galwaymum - I'm in Dublin BTW - and this is my 3rd or 4th restart! I started well, stuck to it 70-80% (I had on average one night "off" a week!) then like you - life got in the way - and I just fell off altogether; restarted 2 months later... fell off again(!) Rinse and repeat...

10 days-a-honkin' :bighug:

Hey folks... how are you all doing? Well done K2C and Kim! Brilliant losses! We are well on our way to Thindom!!! :D My consultant told me no exercising at all on SS+ because I was not eating enough to burn the energy needed... The water and cutting out salt will help with saggy skin...

I'm behind! Honking for day 8 and 9!

Looking great! I see you are now at goal... or pass it! How are you doing now? Have you maintained?

Looking good! Like how you are starting all over again... gives me hope! ;-) Best of luck!

What an achievement! Very, very inspiring! And you look amazing! :wow: How are you doing now? Did you manage to get below those last few pounds?

Great achievement... how are you now girl?

Honking for day 7!

Well done Flare - considering all that's happened this week. It's a great start! :hug99: Next one will be the big one!

I drink 3-4 litres a day and had raging headaches for 3 days... they eased off on day 4 for me. It's the sugar withdrawal I was told. I had achey legs and rummbling tummy - LOUD! The cold was the worse part, I just couldn't get warm! Had WI this morning and was down 9lb - really, really...

6 days in and I'm down 9lb - and I was only 100% 4 of those days... I say it's doable if you stick to it 100% and drink loads of water. BUT You don't need to thin trying on dresses... if you know the 'one' order it 2 sizes below your current size and use it to keep yourself motivated. You WILL...

Honk! (for today - I was at a family birthday party... bypassed everything! :angel:)

Honk, Honk, Honk and HONK for this week - 4 days out of 6 at 100%! WI this morning and 9lb down! Whoop!

I don't have a scales at home - I was a daily-ww like yourself and I had to stop... Throw away the scales! Started SS this week - had my first WI this morning and 9lb down! If I was weighing myself every day I wouldn't have the same excitement, pride and incentive as just being weighted once...

Hope you are better Flare? First WI this morning and whooop! 9lb down! So, so, so chuffed! Onwards and downwards! How is everyone doing?!

Well done BrightSide! Hope you feeling better AllNeedles? I'm same as you love my water drinking 3-4 litres a day no bother... I just had my WI this morning was expecting 5-6lb as only doing it 6 days and had crap day 1 and an apple on day 2 :rolleyes: but today I am down NINE yes... 9lb...

Thanks Jenni - I will keep that in mind... Since the apple-gate, I've been 100% good! Now 5 days and today's the first day I didn't get any headaches! Yipppeee!

Just read your post Brightside - good on you passing up the food, so early on too... I'm going to UK for work next week for 2 days and dreading the meal in the restaurant with work colleagues. I haven't told them I'm on the CWP. I'm getting married in June so that's my motivation: I need to...

Belated happy birthday! You can always do a belated birthday celebration at the 6 month mark (after Goal) ;) Hi to everyone! Delighted to see loads starting off same week as me... I was caught up in work these last two days - I was too tired to log on in the evenings... roll on week 2 when...

That's a great incentive! Delighted your grandson is doing well!

Can I join you ladies? I started yesterday, but I didn't do the prep work (cutting down carbs for few days) and suffering big time... was so bad that I gave in and took an apple tonight :o :break_diet: Not going to beat myself up on it... but I won't expect a big loss for week one at my WI...

Joining ye again... can't remember my old username :o it was 6/7 years ago!!! I started at 14st10lb and went down to 11st before 'falling off the wagon' with a bump on CD, the weight stayed off for about 2 years but crept up again... to 15st 10.5lb :cry::cry::cry: I'm getting married in June...
