Well finally decided to tackle my weight for hopefully the last time! Have tried many diets Exante, SW, WW, have always ended putting the weight back on. I have given myself just over six months to lose most of my weight and to give myself that extra incentive booked a charity skydive for...

Hi, here to follow, you're doing really well.

Wow well done, Brilliant loss

You look amazing, congratulations

Just ordered some liquid smoke, will be trying this at the weekend, yum!

Hi Abbie, I started on Monday and found today really hard, bit of a headache and very noisy tum, roll on ketosis! I've been managing 2L a day, would like to up it to 3, but fed up of going the loo lol. Keep up the good work and you'll soon be looking good in your bikinis, don't be like me, I...

Hi Edieangelo, ooh yum bacon and eggs, thats a good weight loss, I'd be very happy with that, I would love to lose approx 3 lbs a week, fingers crossed eh! Are you in ketosis, seems to be taking quite a while for the ketosis fairy to visit me lol!

Wow Stephie thats really good, I had a small chicken breast & mushrooms yesterday and chicken, mushrooms, onions & pepper stir fried for tea, I won't lie I don't understand carbs etc, think I might order a book or something, hopefully that was ok carb wise. Fingers crossed I lose when I get...

Well done x

Hi, I'm on day 4 and for the last two evenings have had to have some chicken and mushrooms stir fried as I've been very light headed, I did'nt get this last time so wierd, I've been drinking 3 plus litres of water, boullion and black coffee plus the shakes. Had a horrid day, hopefully ketosis...

Hi Stephie, well done on yr loss, I have wondered what the losses on WS would be and its good to see a comparison, what sort of meals did you have? Did you stick with the 3 shakes etc a day as well?

Honk for day 1 yesterday!!

Hi, I'm on day 2, finding it a bit hard but it will be so worth it, get yourself some boullion, its a drink similar to say oxo, I got mine in tesco, its really nice when u want something different to drink, also you never seem to be off the loo, think this may be a challenge at work tomorrow...

Ah well done!! Should be so much easier now, and the weight will fall off you in no time. I'm on day 2, feeling really tired today, have you tried bouillion yet, its quite nice to have a drink of that every now and then, take care and keep up the great work!!

Well done Michelle, hope I do as well as you, I'm only on day 2!

Thanks hazebabes, OH normally is, I admit I am a serial dieter, but this time it will be the last for sure, good luck on yr journey! X

Spottydoris, we will definately show them, well I've managed to get through my first day so far, I did all about w8 2 years ago, (and WW, SW etc) god I'd forgot how much you go to the loo lol! I find the shakes a little bland but it's a means to an end, and I'm going to try and add coffee etc to...

Kenshin that is the main reason, I'm a type 2 diabetic, and I really want to lose my weight to try and get in control of the diabetes, as my dad has lost his legs due to diabetes and I'm the only one who can do this, thanks for the support :) x

Thanks Dustqueen x

Hi just popped onto say hope your first day has gone well, I'm going to start tomorrow, can't wait to get started now!

Thanks guys, have just come back and funnily enough didn't eat much just wasn't in the mood, it was so unlike him, he doesn't even realise what he has said hurt, but your right I will bloody show him as it's made me so much more determined, you never know he may have done me a favour, as I am...

Have to be such morons (this is not the word I want to put!!) I was getting ready to go out for our last meal before I start exante and after 4 outfits ended up in my normal jeans etc, I said this will be the last time I do this (meaning will start to feel good in clothes) He said ... how...

Hi discodiva, hopefully the packs will come soon, I need to lose approx 5 stone, but I'm going to see how I feel as I lose it, we will both do it this year! I know it will be hard at first but it's not forever, and we will see results pretty quickly which will be the best incentive of all. We'll...

Hi, i've just ordered mine, good luck, we can do it!!

Hi and happy new year, well I have just placed an order, decided to stop putting it off, i did all about w8 2 years ago and lost 2 stone, but thought i could have a week off and easily get back on it, err def not. Since then have become a diabetic, so really need to get a grip! Hope i will...

Hi Emmaline, I stopped doing W8 quite a while ago, the weight loss was good but it was hard and expensive and as soon as I stopped the weight gradually went back on! I was only diagnosed in Dec, like you, I'm trying to keep the carbs low, I really am determined to get this weight off as I know...

Hi, my names Julie and I had my first weigh in today, managed 3.5lbs, not as much as I had hoped for but its a loss and I'm really happy about that, I've been trying to do it on my own and I was completely hopeless at it, hence why I started at a group, so fingers crossed this will work for me...

Hi everyone, I only started slimming world on Tuesday, but my main reasons are health, in the last 8 months I have been diagnosed with: Hiatus Hernia Diabetes High Blood pressure High Cholesterol and I also have osteoarthritis in my knee after many operations on it. Hence I am falling to...

Ladies, many thanks for replying, wow you have all done so well on the weight loss, and yes your right, it is better to be thinner and saggy, than firm and fat! But we're never happy are we, might just go and get myself some bio oil, I'll never stop trying to get rid of it lol!! Thanks again Juliex

Lard Arse, you will def have to hit the gym, I'm envious Jamaica wow!! As for your arms there probably not as bad as you think, we always imagine things are twice as bad as they really are! At least your nice and slim. I don't think anyone is ever truly happy fat, thin, whatever we always find...

Well if your a freak then it means I am too!! I lay in the bath lifting my tum and prodding, I would love to love my body but I don't, and I know what you mean over the cottage cheese look as well, at least people can't see it under clothes, but I do feel self concious over my arms, never...

Sounds like my saggy skin is in the same place as yours Lard Arse (sorry but your definately not one for sure, what a fantastic loss!)!, It seems its the only thing I see when I look in the mirror and I've still got quite a bit to lose so I'm hoping it doesn't get any worse. Eyeontheprize, my...

Thanks everyone for the advice, I'm already drinking loads as I'm on VLCD, and have spent loads on different firming creams, Boots definately love me! Been slimmer will definately be better, it's just when your fat your skin is definately more plump and the wrinkles don't show as much. Well done...

Hi, I hope you don't mind me posting here, but I have been losing weight and have noticed the skin on my neck is getting very wrinkly and sagging, I am only 41, any ideas anyone? Has this happened to anyone else? Many thanks in advance Julie x:wave_cry:

:happy096::happy096::happy096::happy096::happy096::happy096::happy096::happy096::happy096: Well done Rosie, you must be so pleased!!! Take care, Juliex

I'm on a VLCD and I'm allowed coffee, but I have mine black, so I presume you just might have to allow for how many calories are in milk and sugar if you take it. If you decide to roast veggies, I use fry light a spray oil found in most supermarkets as its hardly any calories. Also can you...

Hi, I'm currently doing W8, but I am soon wanting to change to either weight watchers or slimming world, I think I would prefer slimming world as I have done it before last year. Has anyone had any experience of changing over from a VLCD to slimming world? If so how was it and did you gain at...
