Great thanks. Im thinking I can have a light lunch for 300kcals. Must work out some low cal lunch options

Is it possible to combine your snacks? Like have a shake for breakfast, 300kcals at lunch, a shake mid afternoon and then 500kcal dinner? or is it the ideal of 6 smaller meals??

Wow Ruth G thats fabulous...are you ss+ing?

Could I loose 2 stone or more in 12 weeks? (preferably without doing a VLCD)

I think Im gonna have to buy a book or something or maybe Im thinking about this too much. It seems difficult to do? Do you just google the calories in the foods? Average day for me is porridge made with water for brekkie, a banana, homemade veg soup for lunch, a yoghurt, stir fry or pasta...

heres my story....... im 27. im overweight by about 5 stone. ive 18 weeks to my wedding and ive left it very late to start anything. the thoughts of doing a VLCD would just depress me even more at the moment. can i calorie count on 1000kcals a day and loose a lot?

Girls Im thinking I might give slimfast a go properly. You know what Ive been like! Chopping and changing from one thing to another...Im quite happy on ww at the moment but the problem is in my head. I want to loose the weight a bit quicker....ill keep you posted either way. I love these...

well done Stirky! Fantastic loss!

Thank you all so much for your replies. I think I need to have a long and hard think about what to do. Yes I do want the weight gone yesterday but I dont want to be even more miserable by trying to do such a restrictive diet that dosent taste at all nice. Slimfast actually tastes ok! CD...

Big girl can i ask if youve lost your weight so far with slimfast then? how long has it taken you?

As some of you probably know I switched to CD yesterday. Probably a big mistake I think! Seriously! Its too bloody hard! I never really did slimfast before. I came on here to see what it was about and found you all such a lovely bunch that I started to post here. Can someone explain to me...

To be honest I dont think I did it for any other reason than greed. Yeah I was hungry but I had my little chicken stir fry cooking??? Ab Fab your totally right. I have to remember how shitty I feel now and the next time I have a moment of weakness I have to remind myself now how sick I feel...

Its all gone wrong!!! I was soo good today and then I got home and ate everything! Day 1 again tomorrow then :wave_cry:

God Im hungry! Ive a bit of a headache. and I havent drank enough water...probably hence the headache! Ive had 2 cups of hot water. I cup of tea and 1.5litres of water.....is that any good?

Do you think it would be ok to blend it cold at home and then heat it in the micro in work? would be left to sit for about an hour?

Emma wedding is 9th September in Spain. Have my dress etc so I dont need to slim into it but will obviously hope to get it taken in! Lisa how do you make your porridge? I had the apple and cinnamon one this morning and didnt like it. I am a porridge lover though so I might try the plain one...

Good morning ladies! Grey and dull day in Dublin. First day of cambridge for me. Really trying to keep a positive mental attitude! Youve probably read already but my porridge experience this morning wasnt the best and I have 6 more porridge sachets! Lovely :jelous: Not being weighed until...

Oh sweet lord! Such an assault on my tastebuds :cry:The apple and cinnamon porridge was not good? I made it with cold water and mashed all the lumps out with a fork and then put it in the microwave but it still has a gritty sort of texture dosent it?!

I go to Dee in Blackrock area?? Dont know if that helps?

Thanks guys from what Im reading you all seem to be doing really well. Im looking forward to getting to know everyone :D Can anyone tell me how to make the porridge??

Hi guys, Im about to start ss+ plus tomorrow. Im kinda looking forward to it :). Im not getting weighed for 9days so Ill need lots of help!

Hi guys, I just wanted to say your all doing so well. Im starting CD on thursday but will be poping in to check and see how the April challenge is going. I need fast losses for the time being and slimfast is just to slow for me!

Me too please. Im starting this thursday on ss+ cant wait Purple Hugs - 20lbs Berryred - 18lbs tillyfloss - 20lbs (3lb lost) Lizzylocket - 28lbs Catssseyes - 20lbs Pineapplehugs - 30lb haggard_hannah - 28 lb Mia - 28lb Wabbitt - 25lb Curlywurly - 28 lbs **Sparkles** - 25lb - 3.5lbs :D...

Hi guys Can anyone tell me the difference between these two steps? What you can have and the losses etc? Thanks:)

I have a question for anyone who sucessfully lose weight with cambridge..... Once youve lost your weight and went up the stages slowly....has anyone successfully maintained with a weight watchers style diet? Im contemplating a re-start but not sure. Theres a lot of people on here who have...

Perfect Sass thanks! well done!

Yeah cool sounds good to me. I think a bit of healthy competition is a good thing :character00116: Ill keep updating the list. You can PM me your losses either? Ill do a weekly total. It dosent matter if you do slimfast/the tesco version/calorie count or a mixture of ww and slimfast. So...

oops sorry hannah! how much are you aiming for altogether this month?

Nope not water im afraid. The milk helps to give the shake more nourishment and calories. Its nutritionally balanced to be made with milk. Maybe try the bars or the smoothies?

Claire pet dont be so hard on yourself. As everyone has said we all go through it. My advice is a little different to everyone else's though.... Ive been in the same place as you and to do a diet like this you do need your head in the right place. There is no harm in following ww or sw for a...

Give them away! If it was me Id end up eating them at some stage! I know it would also be such a waste but you could always bin them :rolleyes:

Thanks guys :553: Im addicted to this site! I dont get to log on as much as Id like but I do try :). Soo looking forward to my dinner today. I plan to have prawns and a large helping of pasta and vegetables. I still have 4 points left after that so I might just leave them alone!

I think this is a good idea for me to keep me on the straight and narrow. Feel free anyone to offer advice or opinions if I could be doing things better..... 30th March Breakfast: Large bowl of branflakes with skimmed milk and canderel 4pts Cappuccino and low fat milk 1.5pts Lunch: Tin...

Hello everyone. Im not exactly new :o I havent been on in a long time. I joined back to ww on thursday because it suddenly dawned on me that I had a little over 5 months to my wedding :eek: I have a lot to loose but Im gonna try my hardest to get it of. I will need plenty of slaps! :copon...

Me too please. I aim to loose 7lbs in April.

Damn! There goes that one :rolleyes:

OMG!! Ive just discovered my fitness pal! Its really cool :D Ive been able to work out my calories for the day including my slim fast this morning. It calculated what calories I need to have to loose about 2lbs a week! It worked out I can consume 1211 calories a day to loose 2lbs a week. I...

Morning all! Yesterday went ok. I only had one slimfast shake but had a salad for lunch and normal dinner. Today Im having a smoothie for brekkie, a banana, a slimfast bar, a yoghurt and then pasta and chicken for dinner (need to work out the kcals on this though :o). Im finding the...

Maybe you could put the smoothies in the freezer until its almost hard and have it as an ice cream/dessert kinda thing?

Oh Sattsy! Thanks a million for your reply. Thats the idea that I had. I bought the calorie carb bible too so Im basically trying to work off about 1200 calories a day! Your doing really well!

Gr8! KD you always have words of wisdom! Can I ask another question then.....when your calorie counting do I have to watch grammes of carbs and fat too? Not sure what to go by? Thanks

Hi guys, Ive started slimfast this morning and wondered if all you calorie counters could help me??? Im allowed 2 slim fast meals a day (about 205kcals each), 3 x 100kcal snacks and 600kcals for my dinner. Now I wondered if I continued to use the slimfast meals and spread out my 900kcals...

Thats great Lind you sound so happy and full of confidence! Well done! Have you been on slimfast all the time? Youve done so well.

Day one in the slimfast house! I had a passionfruit and mango smoothie for brekkie. I was expecting it to be horrible but was quite nice! I have an apple for a snack if I get hungry mid-morning and a slim fast bar for my 2nd meal. Im having a chicken and vegetable stir fry later. Can I...

wha????? 3 weeks to loose nearly 3 stone??? :553: Thats fantastic!!! Have you a secret that we dont know :D

well...... I didnt start today :o was just too hard to resist the birthday cake! I have gone to the supermarket and have a weeks supply ready to go. Im planning on starting on wednesday .... I have about 5 stone to loose in total. Im getting married in September and just have to get my bum...

Hi girls :wavey: I wondered if I could join you all? I was planning to start today but its my birthday :o so Im gonna start on wednesday! Is it ok to weigh in on a wednesday?

Thanks Claire I think if I dont start now I never will. Im out for dinner I think on tuesday but will just be careful! Im aiming for 2lbs a week loss. Anything more than that will be fantastic!

Hello everyone, Just popping in to say a quick hello. Its my birthday tomorrow and Im also starting slimfast tomorrow! Brave or what eh! I have a smoothie for brekkie, a bar for lunch and Ill have fruit for my snacks. Dinner will be meat and veg. Im excited and nervous if you know what I mean!

Too Heavy Hannah You truely are an inspiration! I never thought slimfast would be this good! Admittedly I have no idea what it involves.... I know youve probably been asked this a million times before but what do you eat? Can you give me an idea of a typical day or two?

yo yo do you just use the one shake a day? your losses are great!

Oh I know what you say makes so much sense! :copon:I think I just need a good slap!

What am I doing! Its 6 months today to my wedding and I still havent really got of my backside to shift my weight. As per those healthy charts I have 5 stone to loose! Dont think I can do that in 6 months unless I continue on a drink diet. I started the celebrity slim this morning but really...

Oh Id love to be off at 12! Im in work until 5.30 then Im off to the gym. This is my first day. I had a strawberry shake for brekkie. Not too bad!

Hi Im Louise in 27 and from Dublin. Im starting tomorrow :D

shamelessly bumping this up :o

I havent a clue? Its advertised on www.cluboptislim.ie and its in australia too. Seems to be a bit like the celebrity slim but with a better support programme? Just wondering if anyone has used it before?

Hi Mushroom!! Im interested in starting the optislim in Ireland too.....how are you getting on with it?

Has anyone heard of this or have any feedback on it? Thanks

OMG!! Seriously is that 2 stone in 4 weeks? Good on you!

Can you add me too please! Getting married in 27 weeks and would like to loose 3 stone :o mrs Hill2B (wk 1-I lost 3.5lbs) Curvysam shrinking girl Nannis Baronessvongogo Nanamoon MommyB Scarymary

My God! 136lbs lost! Thats fantastic - how did you do that?

Hi Peach! Im gonna take the plunge too! Planning on going out tomorrow to buy the stuff. Wanna buddy up? Im 5 foot 4 and about 5.5 stone overweight so were not that different!

hi everyone, im sorry i havent been around lately i kind of went off the rails for a bit. I was toying with the idea of doing CD or celebrity slim but again I have changed my mind. I think the only way to go is weight watchers so I need to get stuck in now for good as stop messing about...

Im the same as you. Not overly worried about physical scales numbers but would like to be a comfortable size 12

good luck x

Hiya, Ive never head of W8? Dont think we have that in Ireland? Im thinking Im going to give Celebrity Slim a try. Its restrictive but not as restrictive as CD or LL. Gonna go to the shops tomorrow to get it and start on sunday morning! Watch this space!! :D Hows your wedding plans coming...

Ok Im convinced! Im gonna buy this tomorrow and start on sunday! Can I just clarify one or two things? 1) what are the snacks you can have? Its 3 snacks a day isnt it? Can I have a quick couple of ideas on this? 2) I have a dinner out next week so I can get steak and salad or veg which is...

You seem to be doing really well on this! Do you mind if I asked what your stats were?

Best of luck. And sure if your doing the slimfast theres no reason why you cant come on here and keep us all in line :whip:

Hi thanks for the reply! I guess I just dont want to be one of those people who put it back on. I understand and realise that Ill have to change my ways. Do you think its possible to loose about 3 of my stones with CS and then follow a weight watchers style diet to get rid of the rest...

anyone? :wave_cry:

hi there, im considering doing this diet but wondering is there a maintenance option when your finished to wean you off the shakes so you dont gain it all back? I have about 4-5 stone to loose altogether for my wedding in September. I just dont want to do this kind of diet - loose it all -...

Hi my name is Mary and Im getting married in September. Im 5 foot 4 and weigh 15 stone 6 at the moment so very overweight. I would like to shift as much of this as possible but just dont know what diet to do or follow?? :confused: Have been doing ww for 4 weeks and have lost 4.5lbs. Would like...

Hi Coley, Id love to join but Im not starting CD til 4th Jan. Thought Id be better to wait until after christmas. Thanks for the offer tho!

Thanks for the reply. I guess like everyone Im afraid that the weight will fly back on if I did CD! I just want it gone you know...I think slower is better but Id love to wake up skinny!:8855:

Hi there, Im new to these boards and wanted to get some advice from all you great people. You all are truely amazing. At the moment Im about 15 and a half stone. Im getting married in September next year. I have my dress bought but I know I wont be happy unless I loose a serious amount of...

Hi girls Im getting married on 9th September 09 in Spain and really need to shift the weight. I have most things done. Dress ordered etc but ideally need to loose 4-5 stone. Im going to do CD I think but Im going to wait until after christmas to start so Im clear of all social events!

Thanks so much for your replies. I plan to loose 3 stone from Jan-March and then work on the rest slowly!

Hello! Ive been doing a lot of research and plan to start CD after christmas (have too many social events coming up to start before then). I have about 5 stone to loose altogether. Am I being realistic to do ss+ to get rid of 3 stone or so and then work on the maintenance? I guess Im...

well i went to my first meeting on thursday. weighed in at a whopping 15stone 6lbs :eek: couldnt believe it! Had a good day yesterday and today so far so good! Got a bit of a cold so not actually in the mood for food too much.

Perfect sense thanks! I thought that carbs were out on core! Silly me! I really need to read up on it again. Looking forward to my weigh in now!

Hello, Im joining ww on thursday in order to slim down for my wedding. I have done ww before years ago. What is this core thing everyone is talking about?
