Hi, new to s&s gotta say haven't found it too bad, massive bonus that the stuff actually tastes quite nice, some smells today have been torture though (mobile cafe outside b&q!!) But all in all feeling ok, at what point would I expect to go into ketosis? Also does anyone drink diet...

Hi guys just thought i'd put a link in here for you to look at , you may already know as i did but i had never seen a pic of muscle v fat. I know that lots of people get distraught when trying hard to lose weight particularly when exercising aswell and on weigh in day little or no change is...

just been reading through some previous posts and decided that i need not only to have a target for xmas (becaise that's not enough for me!) I've decided that i would like to look good for my birthday. I have 13 weeks until my b'day so could look to be between 13lb and 26lb lighter, if i go...

A goal is what need, actually it's my bday feb and it would be great to be in good shape for then am gong to figure the lb i could possibly lose by then! Well done on starting though x

Wow didn't know that RachelM thanks, that's the equivalent of 6-7 days food (now) and about two days (before sf!) So if i went to the gym and burned off 3500 cals i'd lose a lb? not that i would do that of course just interested to know, as when i go i look at the cals burned and don't ever...

PLUS....... (you probably already know but) 1lb of muscle is considerably smaller than 1lb of fat therefore you are more likely to notce weight loss in things like clothes when you haven't noticed an actual weight loss, hope that makes sense! Especially more true if you are gyming it! missal x

True enough, was talking to my sis about it today actually and i was trying to work out how i'd do it (ie have two weigh ins one week then get onto sat weigh ins or miss one out etc) but i think given that it would probably give me a license to go mad, i think it's probs wise to leave as is...

I will, he's being a bit of a pain at the moment and i put that down to so much energy and having to stay in, but come thursday hopefully he'll be able to burn some of that energy off. He's the first puppy i've had (apart from family dogs but you aren't responsible for those are you!!). Is it...

Hi everyone, my puppy will be full vacinated this thursday so that's it for me no more excuses! He's a border collie so he'll want to be out lots, it'll be good for me and the kids though - really i can't wait! I have looked up a walking programme to get us all into the swing of things and...

Hi Keisha, Hope you don't mind me asking but.... It seems as though we are pretty similar regarding height and your starting weight, i am just wondering what kind of differences you have noticed with your weight loss? If you don't mind of course!! Thanks Missal

Would you mind telling me what soups you have body mass index? Would be great to have a low cal soup for those really hungry moments!

Have no idea what you can expect to lose on average but i would say that your target is easily acheivable - just set your mind to it and i'm sure you'll succeed. How about setting yourself a november target of 2lb per week? (i know we're 2 weeks in but no harm in that! Missal x

Hi Before i decided that slimfast was the route i was taking i picked up a rosemary conley magazine (can't remember the exact name of the mag and i didn't even know it was hers probably wouldn't have bought it!) but there were loads and loads of recipes in there for low cal recipes and they...

That's half the battle some time if you are trying to lose weight and have a partner who does not need to/ want to, that's why i got rid of mine! heehee! no but seriously he would be ordering take out curries etc, he had our daughter last night for a few hours (as i mentioned she's 14 months...

Hi all Just wondering how the new diet etc is affecting the family / people you're responsible for feeding! I have found that myself (obs!) and my 14 month old daughter have had a complete diet overhaul which is fabulous although her nappies are very fresh!! thanks to all the veg!! My...

Same here, i wasn't having breakfast and some days i wouldn't eat until like 2-3pm which is really bad, i am now having a shake when i am dropping the kids off at school, so i am already having a meal i would never have and also when it came to 2-3pm i would eat something really crap like last...

I use the basic weight watchers (they are digital) ones, got them out of tesco last week they were £19.99 WW also did a super duper version that did body fat etc but i simply want to know what i am losing! think the next ones up were about £30-40 missal x

Hi Bibiana, I noticed you've repled to one of my posts, it was day seven of my first week yesterday and it was definately enough to keep me going when i got weighed (i didn't go near a set of scales all week which was so hard but sooo worh it when i found out my loss after all that waiting and...

am having either to ready made shakes (i love the chocolate ones!) for breakfast every day (think this may be what's added to my weight loss as i never ate brekkie before) and this i can stomach first thing, i usually have it in the car whilst doing the school run! For lunch i'll have a shake if...

I love it last night i was driving to ikea which is about an hour away and my car is a hot spot for snacking for me, if im travelling any significant distance (ie over 10 mins!) i always have something to eat or drink with me. I called into the garage as had to refuel and got the kids some...

thanks for the replies, i always thought i was over weight from about my teen years (am now 25) but then about 7 years ago i feel i started having a weight issue, but when i look back to when i was younger i think i wasn't even over weight but was so self concious. Anyway, i have always though...

Thanks for that, I am going to set myself a target of 4lb to lose by the end of november considering there's only 2 weeks to go that'll be 2lb per week. Missal x

I mean that in the most positive way possible! I am learning to become hungry before i eat! wow amazing, i am so used to eating whenever where ever - not any more! I can say that i have felt hungry three times a day (and not starving i don't mean i feel deprived!) since the day i started and...
