Honk Day 41!!!

Wow I'm excited to order some s&s now!! So it's ok to mix & match? Will it affect our losses at all? I don't want to do anything to jeopardise how far I've come. I can't face starting all over again!!

Well done on a stone & a half down. You're the same as me in the same amount of time. I'm trying to keep motivated, but it's a lot harder when it doesn't feel like the scales are moving much. Come on bigger losses!! I don't see how I will lose a stone a month at this rate...1 lb this week...

Good luck & welcome!! I'm the same as you, I almost feel like I'm cheating when I have a Dr Pepper Zero!! Never even liked Dr P before Exante!! Funny that (; all the best for a great first week!

I love making a porridge cookie. Sounds weird but it's nice to have something hot that I pick up & chew. Nice with a cup of tea. You mix only a little water til it's a thick paste, add cinnamon & sweetener. Ok just plain too. Then spoon into baking parchment & microwave for 2mins. Lovely giant...

Honk Day 36!!

Hi all you've really helped me!! I was starting to feel a bit deflated too. Only lost 1lb in my 5th week. I thought it would be more. But hearing or reading that I'm not the only one has helped. I'm determined to see this through. We can do this!! Let's be losers together!!

Honk Day 16 & 17!!

Funny how different our tastes are hey?!! My least favourites are the veggie soup & orange bars! Lol! I just received my order today of mainly mushroom soup, & vanilla shake! A few of the others. No bars. Blech!! Much prefer Tesco bars. All ready for week 3,4...12!!

Honk Day 15!

No social events this month is a great idea! I've done the same. I've actually had to decline a few invites and a few I've pushed to March. It's too hard to stay on track while being invited to dinner parties!! I think those of you who do it, are amazing!!

Check, check & check!! Many similarities with us all. Seems to be the themes of many of our returns. Good to have you. The more the merrier to keep each other going. How you getting on?

Honk honk!! Days 12 & 13!!

Lol! Luv your last sentence!!

Samprand come on you can do this! It's such a mental battle. We just have to keep on fighting it. Don't worry bout the past. It's done, just look forward. We're here to support you. So come on, back on track today!!

Hang in there Nikki303. You can do this. 11 days already well done!!

Well done that's amazing!!!

It can also be ketosis. Urine takes on a different smell definitely. Keep it up!!

Well done starting!! It's Scarey but all worth it. Once you see the weight falling off you'll be sold on it!!! All the best!

It's exercise as well!! Lol

Lol!! Too funny!! Oooo new ones for me to check out! I also luv cupcake wars, top chef, an if you can you gotta check out Man v. Food!! It's ridiculous!! Soooo funny! We're the same that way!! Hope it's not my downfall! (;

Honk Day 10 Honk Day 11

Don't cave honeypop!!! Sorry you have had a terrible night. Your poor lil one & poor you. But just think if you crack you have to start ALL OVER AGAIN!!! Do you really want that? Let me answer for you...NOOOOOOO!!! Have an extra pack if u have to, but don't break! Stay strong. You can do it!!

I love cooking shows too!! On vlcd I think I get addicted!! Weird one that! I think it's because I'm not cooking & creating wonderful meals. My OH is accepting oven cooked things & stuff that's quick so I'm not slaving over the stove. Helps me stay on plan. Anyhow I think that's why I'm addicted...

Yeah!!! For you!! You can crack this nut!! Don't you feel fab for not giving in? You really should be so proud!! I'm feeling fab too. Staying the course.

Day 8 - done!! 100% TS Day 9 - done!! 100% TS All in all doing well. Haven't wavered for a second. Im so determined to succeed!! I haven't even wanted to put anything bad in my mouth. The only weird thing is my addiction to food programs!! I've downloaded & watched Top Chef, Top Chef Canada &...

Hang in Niki!! U can do this. I know it's tough when the belly is grumbling, but it needs to shut up cos its eaten enough!! Keep drowning it with water. I hope you don't have more days like this. Hope u were able to stay 100%

Honk Day 9!!

Men can't help it. My OH is wonderful, but sometimes he just says things that upset & hurt. Sometimes it stabs like a knife. But we can't let those feelings push us to eat. That's what got us here. Don't give into the emotion. We have to break the cycles that keep is stuck where we are. In fact...

Thanks Julia well done to you too! I think we're just a day apart. I'm just finishing Day 8! Feeling good. Nothing is going to stop me now. I'm so determined to see this through. I'm already dreaming of fitting back into my size 10 jeans! That's my dream come true! Here we go...bring on the...

Wow!! Amazing journey!! Thanks for the inspiration!!

Honk Day 8!!!

@sam keep strong! Don't let his comments affect you. Look how far you've come already. We can do this!!!

Yeah I hear ya. My OH eats what he likes, but I'm glad he doesn't gain...I can't imagine how awful I'd both of us were constantly battling the bulge! Me is bad enough (;

Thanks I will have to give it a try next time I order. I'm sure I will love it. I'll be desperate for it in a few weeks!!

Thank you girls!! How you getting on?

Honk Day 7

Wow 12lb loss!! That's amazing! Keep going. Doesn't look like the rice had any affect so don't even worry!! Good luck!

I have tried a CD porridge in the past is it the same sort of thing as that? Same or better?

Lol!! Too true & too funny!! Well done on your loss & staying on track. Keep it up. What do ya know...I too am heading to slim-arse-ville!!

Awesome!! I can only dream o similar losses!! Here's hoping!

Well done!! That's fabulous!

@prosecco great attitude!! Well done. It's so hard when we don't see the losses & the numbers going down. I worry about how I will cope when this inevitably happens, but now I will look to you guys as youre staying strong. Thanks!!

Well done lauriel! Keep it up. @elvira wow so you know what it feels like to succeed. I can't wait to have that feeling. It seems so distant at the moment, but I know it will come. Well done all!

That is unbelievable!!! Wow! Keep it up!

8lbs for me 201 lbs down 799lbs to go!

Day 6 - Done! Day 7 - Weighed in and I'm 8.5lbs down!! Tomorrow is officially my Week 1 WI but I like weighing on a monday as it starts my week off well so I think I'm going to start counting officially from Today. So I'm 8.5lbs down and 53.5lbs to go! Feeling amazingly strong and...

@woowoo 5.5lbs in 3 days is amazing!! what are you thinking???? You're doing amazing! Don't compare with other people, we're all different. Be positive, stay strong, you're well on track! I'm doing well, today is Day 7 & I'm down 8.5lbs!! I'm absolutely thrilled with that! I'm totally...

Well done Irishlass!! Absolutely amazing'n such amazing losses I can't believe it!! I hope I will be as successful as you have been. You must be thrilled!?!!

I agree that it's only a bad thing of a sts or slight up knocks us off course. Otherwise no harm, no foul. But if we think it's gonna send us into a tailspin then best lock up the scales!!

Honk Day 6!!

Well done girls!! We're doing so well! I've just made a lovely dinner for my OH & he's enjoying all its deliciousness in front of me! But I'm fine. He offered to eat in the other room, but I don't even need him to. This is great. I just had my Thai chicken soup & it was glorious!! Yes ok...

@Kelstar stay strong!! I don't know about you, but WS for me has to be a last resort as I know I will zoom down the slope to oblivion if I start!! Be very very careful! Only you know yourself (;

Yes we do need to stop!! I fluctuated up a lb from my first weigh in this morning, so then I decide to get naked to bring it back down!!! I gotta step away from the scales!!

Wow Irishlass, have just finished your diary...you're so inspiring!! Don't give into the negative thoughts!! You're almost there so keep going. I want to see you get to your goal! I hope to be joining you in a few months!!

Hi Lauryn how's day 3 gone for you? I'm on day 5 & so far all is great. Feeling pretty good. I'm determined to succeed this time. We can help encourage each other & stay on track!!

I will buddy up too girls!! We are all similar so will be great to see how we get on!! Here's to tomorrow! Day 6 for me (;

How you doing DiZzy? Are you staying strong? Bikini Bods 2012!!!

Honk Day 5

WOW!! What an amazing accomplishment!! You're a true inspiration!! Thanks for sharing :)

@ Norwegian girl- well done!! You're my hero staying off the scales. I need to try that too. You're sooooo right...staying off the scales is what got our weight where it is!! Ur my new hero!

Hmmmm just had my first strawberry shake. Made it up in blender with ice so it was all thick & cold like a proper milkshake...soooo looking forward to it...is it supposed to taste like feet?!!! Lol!! Not as strawberry flavoured as I had hoped. Maybe it's just me...might try with sweetener next time.

@Kelstar I haven't really started exercising yet, as wanting my body to get used to this plan first. Keep with it, even 2lbs is a shift in the right direction! Keep it up!

Hi there, I do sometimes spread mine out. Like 1/2 choc shake in my first coffee & them the other half in another coffee mid morning. Makes me able to go longer til my lunch pack. I think whatever works for keeping you 100%

Hi Norwegian girl, hope you survive your weekend. I hope your friends are supportive of you. That's the sign of a true friend, they should support you & be happy you're taking control of your life!! Stay strong!

Well done!! 6lbs is fabulous!! You're well on your way now! Keep at it! Really pleased you're doing so well!

Day 5 - so far so good. In no time I will have a week behind me. Then 2, then 12, then at goal!! I can't wait! I can't wait to fit back into my 10/12's and feel lovely again! It's been so long. I have of course done a sneaky peak...I'm useless at weighing once a week...and I'm down 5lbs!! Quite...

Day 4 I've been 100% TS! I'm in ketosis & feeling pretty good. Mentally I feel strong. Not even wanting food to pass my lips! I'm so determined to be successful! All of us will be. Keep strong girls!!!

@daze well done on taking a stand! Your daughter will be so proud of you! Good luck

NOooooo chocolate would NOT help!! I totally get why you're feeling the way you are, it can be frustrating & to know those you care about are talking about you can be hurtful. Especially when we're hungry & not feeling well. Good for you on staying strong. Don't give into the cravings!! You...

Wow!! Well done on the 5 lbs & the 1 stone gone!! Keep it up!

Are you guys trying the whole beans or the instant? Which do you prefer? I'm about to order...

Honk Day 4

Honk Day 3!

Glad to find others who want to stick to it 100% I'm on day 3 and I think that the only way for me to succeed is to stay true to TS! So here's to us and our success!! thanks for the encouragement!

Very helpful information! Thanks

ooooo very exciting about the coffee!! I'm going to stock up too! Thanks for the tip!

@emmaisfun, well done, keep it up. I'm only on day 3, but feeling good, feeling strong! Will pop in a see how you're getting on. I love reading how peeps are doing, how much weight they have lost. Great motivation...a lil competition never hurt hey?

Well Done GSQ!! I hope to be joining you in feeling great in just a few short months!! Your example can spur us on!!

@moti well done on your week one loss! Keep it up, keep strong, I'll be watching you for motivation!

Oh no moti u hated all the soups?!? Shame. Maybe your taste buds will have changed & you will like them now. Good luck!

So I've now had mushroom soup mmmm it was yummy. You will be fine & you will like them. I've been 100% today, nothing gonna trip me up. Good luck on your start!

@itslucy excellent!! It's very exciting!! The first day of the rest of your life!! Yeah!! Here's to starting!!

Hi Dizzy my day 2 is done & I've been 100%. Nothing is gonna stop me this time!! I will succeed!! We can help each other. I'm actually finding them to be quite nice. The Thai chicken soup was delish. The choc shake was ok. I had half with coffee which was nice & half on its own, it was very...

@ itslucy & 2012- bikinis here we come!! We can do this! @ kelstar - things are good. This is only Day 2 for me, but I've been 100% TS & feeling strong. Girls, we can & will do this, we just have to keep focussed, keep motivated & keep on track! Roll on summer!! (;

Honk Day2

Hi welcome back! I'm just starting. Just finished day 1! I've been reading everyone's posts to keep me going!! We all shall succeed!! Good luck!!

Don't lose your motivation!! We can do this. Hopefully it will arrive tomorrow & you'll be golden!! Just think we could be bikini ready before summer!! Won't that be fab?!!

HONK!! Day 1!!

Actually I'm really enjoying them. I had a vanilla shake, a tomato & basil soup and an orange & choc bar. My least favourite is the bar. But I've never been a big fan of orange & choc. Don't like Terry's and don't like jaffa cakes. But I am overall pleasantly pleased. First day almost done...

Today is my official start day 1. Packs arrived at noon. So have been 100% so far! How are you doing? I will try to post regularly and let you know how I'm getting on. I am going to try to weigh in only once a week. I don't want to become totally obsessive about it...we'll see how that goes...

Good for you!! Taking a stand! Keep up that attitude & you will succeed! Along with the rest of us.

Thanks for your encouraging words! Yep I'm doing TS. Started today. My order arrived at noon thank goodness as I was getting hungry! I'm determined to succeed! We can support each other. Thanks for your tips. x T

Thanks for all your support!! @nik this is my first try with Exante. My pack arrived today & so far things are going well. I've had a vanilla shake & a tomato & basil soup. It's my totm so not feeling great but am determined to be successful!! Yes let's keep an eye on each other & keep each...

Well done on taking a stand!! Keep it up & let us know how you get on!!

Wow you're doing so great!! A true inspiration. I'm starting as soon as my order arrives. Im hoping to do just as well as you!! Keep it up! You will do this!

Well done!! Enjoyed reading your journey so far. I'm about to start mine, so just stocking up on inspiration!! Thanks!!

Just waiting for my Exante to arrive. Should be Tuesday. I'm a serial dieter! I've been there done that! Have the wardrobe to prove it. Been a 22 to a 10 and all stops in between...going down...then unfortunately going back up again. It's upsetting, but a learning experience. I want things to...

I'm starting exante on Tuesday and feeling a bit nervous, BUT am determined to stick to it like you have. Keep it up, well done, I'll be watching your success. It helps to see people have the same struggles as I do ...and they can do it!

Thanks for the tips, they are great, and we all need the reminders even if it's something we already know. We wouldn't be here otherwise!

Wow you have all done amazingly!! Izmirka I have just looked at your pictures of your journey...all I can say is you are an inspiration!! You look absolutely fabulous. A true inspiration! Well done, I hope to do the same!

Wow Plegplog!! Well done! I can't believe that you've lost so much in such a short time. Keep it up, you'll be slim in no time!

Wow! Absolutely amazing!

Wow!! Ceekay & Lostris you have done an amazing job at losing the weight! How encouraging for those of us just starting off! and you too KD...maintaining in my opinion is one of the hardest things to accomplish after any weight loss! Well done! You are all amazing!

Marti, ignore your lame CDC she shouldn't give you any grief, but support. Since you're not getting it from her, you can get it from all of us here! So keep it up, we can all do it if we stick to it. And going ot the gym 4 times is no small feat! Keep it up!

I had my first weigh in on Monday lost 7lbs, then weighed myself today, and down another 2. So 8 days in and 9 lbs down! I'm pretty happy with that. Doing well, getting that water down, and hunger is under control. I just find that sometimes the craving for some food is hard to overcome...

Sarahsunshine, it does get better. I was getting really down because I was not in ketosis after 3 days, 4 days, 5 days...I was beginning to wonder what was going on, but day 6 I started burning a lil bit. Not much at all, but then day 7 & 8 I've been on FIRE!! yeah. feeling much better now...

WOW! Nicki26 have just looked at your numbers & your pics. You have done an amazing job. You're such an inspiration! If you can do it, I can do it!! Thanks for your incentive!

Mrs JK all the best to you in your weight loss endeavour, but I wanted to mention that it's hard to look at your signature pic!!!

We all just gotta keep on plodding. And if we fall, simply pick ourselves back up & keep on going!...never give up!

Steve, Just a thought anyhow. What you have done already is fab! And thanks for sharing it. I already have my 1st weeks numbers in there, waiting for my first weigh in! Thanks.:)

I'd like to join this team as well. I think Marti's idea about us posting our own losses etc. as we weigh in is a good idea, then no one person has to have too big a job. What do you think? I'm so very new to all of this though, so I might be wrong, it might have to be one person leader of...

Hi Marti I don't know exactly how we be buddies, I think just by posting messages on here, to help & encourage one another. So that's what I'll do. Hello Everyone, well done in taking the time to put your health & self first. It all turned pearshape when we forgot to do that, and we...

Welcome Hayles! Well done, this is the first day of the new you! All the best.

Check out the tutorials they give you step by steps on how to create a tracker and many other things. Tutorials - MiniMins.com - Weight Loss Support Forum

Wow!! That's amazing! Just the sort of inspiration I needed! Keep it up & you'll be at your final goal in no time!

These lists are great!! I just have 1 to add: - to not relate completely to the above lists!

Hello Steve, great graph & weight loss tracking. One thought, it could have a section to record measurements for waist,hip,bust/chest etc. and how much total inch loss as well. Since sometimes we might not lose much weight, but the inch loss is still there. Just a thought, but a great graph.:)

Hi I can be your buddy if you want. I just started the Cambridge diet on monday. This is day 3. So far so good. Last night was a rough night though, couldn't sleep, tummy was soooo rumbly. We CAN do it!! Just gotta keep focussed & remember how good feeling slim will be!:)

Hello All, I'm new to all of this, the forum and to CD. I have started sole source today! I need to lose about 4.5stone. Will post my loss when I weigh in. Is there anything else I need to do? Thanks for having me. ( :
