Hi, Go by the raw weight and don't forget to take the skin off :)

Laurenasha you can do it by editing your signature in your user cp @ the top of the screen. To create a tracker click on mine and amend it as required x

Thanks for that girlies. I got a bit carried away with pigging (all these yummy snacks) and only got 9 weeklies left - and there was me saying I was going to save at least 20 :8855: I'll see what my weight loss is like on Weds and if still going well, will take your advice and continue to use...

Hi, As other people have said I too did SW and struggled because I wasn't learning about portion control & couldn't stick to it because I wanted more 'syns'. I've only been doing WW since 9th Feb and I love it. You really can have whatever you like as long as you stick within your daily points...

Hi, I switched from Cambridge as I couldn't hack it anymore either :jelous: I did cambridge from 20th Jan - 8th Feb & started ww on 9th Feb. For my 1st weigh-in I lost 3 1/2 lbs (not sure whether this was because I'd lost almost a stone on cambridge before transferring). So not as much as I'd...

Well 1st weigh-in and lost 3 1/2 lbs. Quite pleased with that, but then my leader asked how many points had I used. I told her all my dailies (41) & 42 of my weeklies. She then told me to try not to use all my weeklies unless I really need them - now she tells me :eek:. Thought this diet was...

Ooh thanks for that. I'll have to make up a shopping list and head over to Tesco :)

Yeah that's the only problem. To make it a bit cheaper I buy in bulk, but might start shopping around for supermarket low-fat ones - there must be some out there that are very low pp's :)

k4c3y - I bought all flavours. They're all my favourites

Hi guys, The nutrition label on the products seems to be working out the same as Joes have stated. The sausages are delish - just like the real thing

Thanks Starlight. I can have a bit of a 'grill-up' tomorrow brekkie now :)

Apologies if this has already been covered but does anyone know the pro-points for Joe's Sausages? It says on their website they've worked it out but it's not endorsed by WW. I've emailed them to add on to the website, as I don't want to eat them and then find out they're really high in points...

Hi both, Well so far so good, used a few weeklies as been away for the night last night. I've eaten quite a lot tonight and for the first time I'm thinking I can really stick to this diet - soooo flexible. Just hope the scales are kind to me on wednesday :)

I want to be able to wear skirts and pretty dresses (my legs are currently like tree trunks) but most of all I want to feel confident with my new body and be able to go swimming, to a spa, or water park or even on the beach in a bikini

Just thought I'd look on the website and for lakeland butter portions (7g) it's 1 pp. The bread roll will be either crusty or soft and for a medium size (50g) it's 4 pp. Hope that helps.

Hi, Looking at the guide the soup is 4 pro-points. Not sure about the bread and butter. Anyone else advise please?

Hey Lisa, I'm starting tonight too. Was on Cambridge (after many re-starts) but guess my body's given up on it lol. I've read almost every post on here about pro-points and it seems many people are finding it much better than the old system and tehere's some great weight losses too. Really...

And me - I've moved from Cambridge, like Emma-x I was having problems with a vlcd. Starting tonight - soooo excited about being able to eat proper food again :)

Forgot about the bars lol. All of them apart from cranberry & peanut. Mrs Chatterbox you can't have bars until week 3 due to the small amount of carbs in them.

Best to spread it out through the day. There was a case of where a woman had died on a vlcd because she drank too much water in such a short space of time. I tend to fill up two 1 litre bottles (with the mouthpiece thing attached), then sip them through the day. I also have sparkling water as a...

I lurve the original porridges, strawberry & choc shakes/tetras, leek & pot soup & chick & mushroom soup. That's about it lol

Hey keighleyjo, I'm trying to get the majority of my weight off for Vegas. I'm going in April too.

Well done on re-starting. I've just restarted after lots of re-starts. It is a brilliant diet with great weight losses. Good Luck with your journey & once you get past day 4 you'll be fine :)

You can eat meat and veg on SS+. Maybe you need to go up to that step?

When I re-started for the zillionth time on 20.01.11, I was 1 and a half stone heavier than when I started the diet in 2009. I got married in 2009 and managed to lose 4 and a half stone which I more or less kept off until Jan 10 (I only put on a stone) but due to events in my personal life, I...

Well done, that's a good start. See all those headaches etc have been worth it lol :)

SS+ is better to be honest, gives you just that little bit more & does help with dizziness etc. The losses on it are very good too. Hope the next few days go better for you.

Hi, Well done on re-starting - this is about my millionth attempt lol. Currently I pay about £1.80 per item (although bars & tetras are a bit more). I read on here somewhere that if you buy in bulk it's cheaper but guess that depends on individual CDS.

Hey, I get that too, although don't post very often & to be honest suppose I'm not so well educated on this diet as other people. I too have a confidence issue, but guess this is down to my weight. My hubby is very confident and can talk to anyone, but it takes me quite a long time to get to...

How are you getting on Twilight?

Blimey, well done :eek:

Aw. I know it's annoying but you've had brill losses the past few weeks though. I'm sure it'll come off next week :)

Well done, that's great

Thanks great things, I thought it was only bars and tetras :)

That's brill, well done.

Blimey, well done. I can't wait to be thin either lol.

Good luck Emma-X. It's a brill diet but very hard to follow sometimes.

Thanks for that determinator. Do you have to have extra water with porridge?

Yep definitely. Can see your waist getting more defined and your arms look smaller. Well done.

Hi, As far as I know you can. I hope not anyway coz I've had porridge, bar, tetra today.

Hey. It does get easier. This time round I wasn't in ketosis until day 5/6. Once I was, I felt fine and the feeling of hunger disappeared. I'm still only on day 11

Hey. Well done on starting. The amount you could lose all depends on which stage you start at. 2-3 stone is manageable, but everyone is different so you may lose slightly less or slightly more. I note that you're starting on Weds but are you going to see your counsellor to get weighed...

Similar to you two but I'd love to go on a night out and not have to drink loads just to feel confident and not anxious that people are looking at me. I also want to enjoy my holidays more. I normally feel ssoooo self conscious and hide under baggy clothes which is not good in the heat. I'd...

I was a bit suspicious too - I lurve chow mein. I double checked with her and she still says yes. Maybe best not to risk it :o

Hi, My CDC said that chicken chow mein was the best thing on chinese. I guess though, you could always ask how it's cooked. It differs from restaurant to restaurant - some chuck extra veg and sauce in & some do it quite dry. Good Luck

Hi guys, Yes I went to Boots first but they told me I need a prescription. Fortunately managed to get a doc's appt. He prescribed me 60 sachets which cost £7.60 or however much it is for a prescription. Hope it works ;) x

Had my 1st weigh-in today and I lost 8lbs :eek:. Very pleased with that. Only problem is I'm bloated because I haven't 'been' properley for a few days. Apparently the best thing for this is Movicol (doesn't interfere with Cambridge?) which is only available on prescription :mad:, so booked...

Thank you Derbynanny. That's very helpful. I was also thinking of having Batchelors Pasta in Sauce as a snack but you advise to be careful. Can I ask why? Thank you.

Sorry to gatecrash your thread but I'm trying to get my head round extra easy too. I understand the basics but are you still allowed to snack on free foods during the day. For example yesterday, I had my brekkie and lunch and about 4.00pm I had to make an omelette as I was hungry. Didn't want...

I know what you mean. Are you on Sole Source +? If so your counsellor should give you some recipes for your add a meal

Day 2 gone really well. Had a yummy chicken stir-fry for tea using the recipe from my Counsellor. Hubby enjoyed it too, although I should have taken the seeds out the chillis :sign0007:

So far so good. Had my 3 shakes already lol and will fit another one in about 8.00pm. How's your diet going? I see you've lost 8lbs already - well done :)

Hi everyone, I'm re-starting again after managing to lose over 4 stone for my wedding last year. Up till January 2010, I'd only put on a stone but then my mum died unexpectedly and I turned to food for comfort - BIG MISTAKE! So I've come back and hoping to do it properly this time. Aiming to...

Hi Hayley, Yeah so far so good. Been following it 100% and was very pleased with 1st weigh-in - 8 whole pounds. Yippee. That 2 stone for Chrimmy could happen after all x

Amazing. Well done. x

Ok thanks Disney. I'll try my best :D

You've done brilliantly Curly Wurly. Well done. Fantastic x

Well if you're adding everyone little Gem you can add me too if you like. Georgina Gwilt and my pic's of me on my wedding day which I would like to look like again but still lose another 3 stone on top of that :-)

Yippee. Well done :-)

Thanks Lynne x

Can I Join too please? Started Tuesday and would love to lose 35lbs by Chrimmy.

Well done Hayley that's brill x

Hi everyone, Sorry for not responding sooner Becca but I've been wrapped up in my college studies and just haven't had time to get on here - but I'm back. I'm on Day 4 now and feeling quite perky. My counsellor warned me I may find it harder this time round but so far so good. Jumped on the...

Can I join too please? Re-started yesterday weighing 15 stone 13. Ideally would like to lose 2 stone or more for Christmas.

Hi Emma, Can I just say how well you've done. I re-started yesterday to try and shift some weight for Christmas. With regard to the meal I'm not sure which one would be better. Probably Salmon or like you say if you skip the bread roll the soup may be ok.

Well done Curly Wurly. I said in another post you started after me and I wish I'd stayed on plan. I could have lost lots of weight too. But never mind I'm back and your photos will remind me I can get there. Woo hoo.

Hi Minx, I re-start tomorrow on Cambridge. I lost quite a bit of weight but put most of it back on - boo hiss. So I'm going to try and get some off for Christmas. Good luck to you x

Wow you look fab - the change is amazing. I'm sure you still look great :-)

Wow fantastic difference. I'm re-starting Tuesday so your pics are just the motivation I need

Hello all. I'm restarting on Tuesday as I've almost put on all the weight I lost earlier in the year. Can I just say Curly Wurly you started after me and I remember looking @ ur progress to see how you were doing. I haven't been on here since about June and OH MY GOD you look fantastic. Wish I'd...

Hello, I'm going to re-start on Tuesday. I too lost quite a bit of weight and almost put it all back on :sigh: but I know this diet will shift it :D

Yes it can be a bit confusing. I'm used to it now but had to use the tutorials for at least 3 weeks.

Hello, I get married 4th July but am not doing brilliantly at the moment. It's getting harder but must focus.

Hi, If you click on tutorials on the tab up the top of the page, that should tell you what you need to know. I think it's 50 or 100 posts you need to be able to put piccies up.

Wow brilliant. I've got about 6 stone to lose (well another 2 1/2 to go). It's great to see the change in a person. Well done.

Hello, My tipple is gin and slimline tonic. It's lurvely. Occasionally I will have vodka and diet coke though. Don't need many these days which is great - saves on the pennies ha ha. My CDC gave me a booklet to look at for when I move up the plans. In that it says a small glass of medium white...

I would love to be 11 stone and then once I'm there (fingers crossed) I can re-evaluate.

I jumped off the wagon yesterday too very badly. It was a family wedding so I had a few drinkies, ate a big meal (although I couldn't finish it) and they had a sweet shop so sucumbed to a few curly wurly's and disko disks. Back on the diet today though hopefully won't have done too much damage...

Hi weight losses on SS+ are still good. On average about 12-14lbs a month so a little less then SS. Were you given a Sole Source booklet from your CDC when you started? Pinky coloured.

Hi, The broccoli, spinach and spices should be fine. Not sure about the others though.

Wow well done Shelley. Have you put some piccies up so we can see?

Well done you can see the difference especially in your face. It's great to see b4 and after pics along the journey.

Phew thanks for that was beginning to panic a bit as it's lasted more then a week now

Well done on surviving day one. In answer to your questions: a- I should think so b- I've heard that quite a few people add cinnamon to porridge but there is an apple and cinnamon flavour which you can get from your CDC c- It usually takes 3-4 days to get into ketosis. You'll know when you get...

Hello I'm doing SS+ and have lost 28lbs in 6 weeks. I do cardio about twice a week for an hour and sometimes go on the wi-fit.

Thanks for this. I'd been going by the guidelines on the packets. Maybe I'll have a bit more energy now :-)

Hi just come across this thread and have used your spreadsheet. Thanks ever so

Woops I didn't know that. Gosh I've been missing out on my vitamins, but it's ok to microwave porridge?

Ooh I didn't know that. So you can't even microwave the soups then?

Hi Joanne. I've just had my week 6 weigh-in and my actual weight as of today is 15 stone 11 the same as your start weight. I was 17 stone 11, 6 weeks ago. When I first started I didn't think I could stick to it but god I am so glad I have. I just feel so much better and even getting great...

Good Luck. I couldn't be without this forum it's helped me many a time :-)

It could be jealousy - never thought of that. I know I always got a bit jealous when people I knew lost weight quickly. Oh how the tables have turned ha ha.

I've lost 24lbs so far and people at work are starting to notice. Fortunately they are all nice about it and no-one has said anything nasty. A few friends at the start were worried about how healthy it was but it's better to lose weight then be overweight. My oh has commented that he can feel...

Hi all. Just thought I would share what I'm having for my meal. Originally I was going to start off with tiger prawns spread with garlic paste and then steak, courgettes, brocolli, celery, asparagus and a mushroom but my CDC said why didn't I put it all 2gether and have surf n turf. If I have...

Hi I do SS+ and it's great. By having the extra meal I never feel deprived. I can even cook my chappies tea (pie, chips, veg and gravy usually) and we can sit down together. I usually have chicken with spice sprinkled over the top, celery, courgettes and mushrooms. Yummy.

chocolate or strawberry. MMMMHHHHH

Just read your story and what a great story it is. The transformation is amazing. Can't wait till I get to goal.

Well done Cat Bee. I'm not far behind. I've lost 21lbs in 4 weeks. God I lurve this diet

Hi, I'm not sure but the first few days are hard until you get into ketosis. It could be your body adjusting to the lack of food. Have you drunk lots of water?

Hi, I tried to make muffins, crisps and choc fudge. They all tasted horrible and didn't taste like the shake version does. Must be because all the flavour is burnt in the microwave. Oh well at least I gave it a go.

Thank you. It's slowed up a little now but too be honest am not drinking enough water. That's the key.

Hello I just tried to make a muffin - twice and to be honest they weren't that nice even though I followed the recipe to a tee. Oh well

Thanks Lelly x

Ooh thanks for that Serena I didn't know :-)

Hi Abz, nice to see you back. I'm still plodding along. Had my 3rd week weigh-in yesterday and only lost 2lbs. I'm quite disappointed as I thought I'd done really well. Better show up on next weeks' weight loss or there will be trouble ha. Glad to hear you had a good birthday. How's the wedding...

oh right. Well on SS+ you can have: 120g chicken or turkey breast (without skin) 190g cod, haddock or other white fish 250g steamed tofu 200g quorn 180g tuna (in water) 225g cottage cheese Hope that helps x

Oh strange. Well in mine it says you can "add about 2 tablespoons of any veg from the following: Asparagus, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, celery, courgettes, cucumber, lettuce (all kinds), spinach. Flavours can be increased and enhanced by the use of calorie free dresings and seasonings. Avoid...

Ooh cheesecake how do you make that? My fave bar is peanut. Mind you I'm only allowed to choose between peanut or cranberry at the mo. I used to quite like the cranberry but majorly gone off it :jelous:

God that's fantastic. I wish I could lose that much in so little time. Well done you

Hi. Did your CDC give you a SS/SS+ booklet?

Woo hoo well done. I only lost 2lbs. Bit disappointing isn't it, but hey every little helps.

He he. A dress can work wonders especially if it's lace-up. Unfortunately a bikini cannot. How long have you been doing Cambridge for? x

Hi I suppose it depends on each individual. As Serena says some weeks you will lose more then others. I'm in my third week now but for the first 2 weeks I was weighing myself every other day (guess I was excited) and of course it fluctuated. So now I'm just going to get weighed once a week at my...

Ooh congratulations. I can't wait till I get to target so I can have a curry ha ha.

Hey Flaming Avine have you started on SS or SS+? For about a week after I first started I kept dreaming of Takeaways and Chocolate. I'd wake up feeling really guilty that I'd cheated and then realised it was a dream. PHEW.

Hi Abz, sorry for the delay in replying. I get married on the 4th July and you seem to have done so much more than me. Starting to panic a bit now ha ha

Oh right silly me. I'm doing SS+ and so far have lost a stone in 2 weeks. Sometimes I do only have 3 CD meals or 3 CD + chick/fish veg etc & sometimes I have 4. It's just nice to have the option as some days I'm hungrier then others.

WWWWAAAAAHHHHHH doesn't look like we'll be doing the Hawaii thing :cry:I'm quite disappointed, but on the + side think we might be cruising round the med instead :)

Wow that's brilliant. Have you done SS or SS+?

Hi what's AAM?

Wow you look great Abz. When do you get married? x

Hi, I'm in my 2nd week of SS+ and I go to the gym about 2-3 times a week. I'm not sure if you're supposed to but don't over exert myself too much. I'm not sure about a body pump class might be a bit too strenuous (think that's how you spell it). I'd have a word with my CDC after all they're...

Hello, 7lbs off for me this week. Can I amend my target please to 21lbs. Thanks

Well done x

Hi. I started on SS+ as there was no way I was going to be able to survive on 3 meals a day. I'm into my 2nd week and get weighed tomorrow so I'll keep you posted. I think weight losses are generally more on SS but with SS+ it's nice to know I can have an extra meal of 'real' food.

Hi EmmaLouise it might be worth discussing with your CDC. They'll be able to advise you on what would be best.

Hi Porky I'm on SS+. In my first week I lost 7lbs and hopefully come tommorow I will have lost another 7lbs (but that is on my scales, weighed myself this morning). Apparently the weight losses are more on SS because you don't eat so much but you can still lose a lot on SS+ it just takes a bit...

I'm still waiting on hubby to be to decide ha ha. Originally we wanted to go to Maldives but apparently it's monsoon season in July so now looking at Hawaii and then 5 days in Las Vegas (think I'm more excited about the latter).

Hi all I'm getting married in July. Haven't got my dress yet, just a few more shops to visit and then I'll pick one. Most of the other stuff is done apart from favours, stationery, flowers and cake. I need to lose about 5 stone really.

Gosh well done. When my CDC told me my measurements I thought she must have been joking. It's amazing to think just in one week you can lose so many. Can't wait till my next weigh-n on Tuesday.

Wow you've done brilliant littlegem. Did you start on SS or SS+?

Lillypop these are very useful tips, I never thought about selling my clothes on ebay (got loads from Evans), I've always given them to charity but worth a try. I'm also going to do a little scrapbook of photos to remind me how the weight is coming off. I've used a fat photo in my profile pic to...

Beautiful dress. I'm torn at the moment between 2 but I've only been to 2 shops, got another 5 to go. AAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGHHHHHH. Whichever one I choose though will definitely have a lace back, it's amazing the difference it makes having all the lard sucked in ha ha.

Emmie, I just typed my weight in google and asked what it was in lbs. I just went with that figure.

I've no idea, but shouldn't have thought it would make too much a difference. Good luck with the weigh-in, let us know how you did.

Hello, currently I weigh 16 stone 11 (but that is unofficial, next weigh-in is on Tuesday). I'm bottom heavy mainly getting into size 20/22 and top half is 18 although I can get into some 16's. Height is 5'6. Not sure what shape but I've always called myself orange ha ha.

Hi, when you log in you'll see a series of options. Click the one that says tutorial and it'll tell you all you need to know. That's how I did mine :)

Hi Rainbow. I went there in 2006 stayed at the Tasia Maris (I think). It was brill. There was plenty to do in Nissi, loads of bars, beaches etc and best of all it was close enough to Ayia Napa but far enough away. Does that make sense?

These pictures are amazing, you look totally different. Can't wait to see what I look like when I get to goal.

Wow just come across this thread and I love your pictures. I'm into my second week and it's brilliant being able to look at people's before and after pictures to spur me on

Oh forgot to say I've put that hideous fat photo as my profile picture to remind me how big I actually am and to keep me focused :)

Mumpy I lost 7lbs in my first week. Although it's not as good as some of the weight losses on here, it's still half a stone. The way I look at it is I might lose more next week instead and if I don't I'm going to have a Mars Bar ha ha. Only joking, I will keep perservering (think that's how you...

I can't wait till my wedding in July as some relatives you won't have seen me for a year will hopefully be shocked as I walk down the aisle. People at work who I see 5 days a week have already started commenting and I've only lost half a stone. My next 'public outing' is 31st Jan for my friend's...

Good Luck. I had mine today and lost 7lbs. Not bad at all. I presume weight losses are greater on SS then SS+ which I'm currently on?

Hi I've been doing SS+ and lost 7lbs in my first week. Into my 2nd week now so not sure how well I will do next week. I'll keep you posted.

I lost 7lbs :)

Had my 1st weigh-in today lost 7lbs woo hoo :D

Hello I started on the 5th Jan. Can I join the group please? 1st weigh-in next Tuesday. I'll put my name down for 14lbs (fingers crossed)

I too spent a lot on takeaways each week, was probably having 3-4 a week. I do miss them a bit (mind you it has only been 6 days) but I was able to cook OH pie, roast potatoes & veg the other nite. Think it was ok because I had chicken & 2 tablespoon of broccoli so I felt that I was eating...

Brilliant thread. I also want to look great in my wedding dress, although I have to admit the thought of me sitting on the beach in a bikini is more of an incentive.

Good Luck. If we stick to it we can do it.

I've brought quite a few bits and bobs in a size 14 to try and spur me on. I even got some hotpants and a mini-skirt. Fingers crossed I'll be able to wear them soon

Wow and that's only after 16 weeks. Well done. Fantastic achievement.

Wowy Wow amazing piccies. Mrs jk I've just noticed the picture of the yummy hamburger and chips :( and suddenly had a craving. I need water........

Just wanted to say well done to Summerskye and to lillypop. You're pictures are amazing and very encouraging. They'll spur me on through the next few months :)

Wow that's brilliant. I'm hoping to lose 7lbs by weigh-in next Tuesday. Any more and that will be a bonus. Keep you posted :)

Day 5 for me and going well so far. Cravings for 'real' food have gone. OH dragged me along to play bingo with the old folks down local footie club (tv has gone for repair) so nothing better to do. I was good and drank 3 pints of tap water. Even won a prize in the raffle and as my number was...

Hello, My name is Georgie and I started SS+ on Monday 5th Jan. So far it's been ok, drinking loads of water to try and fill me up. Felt a bit perkier today so ketosis might be kicking in. I'm looking to lose between 6 & 7 stone by July 09. Hopefully I'll lose it all :)

Wow all these weight losses are brill. I was debating whether to start Cambridge after Chrimmy but now I've come across this site will definitely give it a try. Only prob is I have a big appetite so not too sure if I'd be able to stick it out for too long.
