Hiya, I tend to always have chicken salad from co-op. Sundried tomato marinated chicken with pasta, lettuce and tomatoes. Totally delicious, very filling and only 275 calories! They cost about £2 which is pretty much the same as a sarnie. sharon xoxo

I thought you would need more cals as you are breast feeding? Depending on how many months you need to have at least an extra 240 cals per day.

Hi Caz and welcome to Minimins. I'm quite new too and find it is a very very friendly place. I have about 7 stone to lose (eventually ) and am doing a not bad job by counting calories. I aim for about 1300 - 1500 cals per day and try to step up the walking every day for exercise. I have had a...

Hiya, The pharmacy that i bought Slimfast bottles from was an Alphega Pharmacy. A little over the odds for one but £1.36 BOGOF was a pretty good deal i thought. Offer ends 28/02/09

I love the Co-Op healthy eating curry sauce jars. 110 cals for half jar of Rogan Josh. I add Iceland ready cooked chicken (100 cals per 100g) a tin of tomatoes and whatever veg else i've got lying around. Absolutely delicious and always enough to freeze for work lunches too. I am a real sod for...

Hi Stac3y, I'm no expert but i would say that you're on the right track with those calorie goals. I don't think it's good to have less than 1000 cals. I did have a little look to see what your BMR and based it on age 25? as didn't know how old you are and it said 1432 - this is how many cals...

Tell 'em to get lost babe! Some women feel threatened by the thought of their 'fat' friend being slim so they try to sabotage the diet. If she does it again, take the chip and throw it in the bin. Good luck honey! Don't lose faith :) Sharon xoxo

I'm grandslamgirl because when i went to SF to watch baseball i saw about 4 grand slams in one game. My then boyfriend called me grandslamgirl and it stuck from then on :)

Hi Sarah, I am aiming for 1300 - 1500 cals per day and i've had a few blips but i'm still losing weight. I am set to have lost about a stone since the 5th January. We're pretty much the same size so i would think it should work for you too :) Good luck honey!! Sharon xoxo

Hiya, Thanks for looking for me, i don't get to Tesco very often. I'll have to stick with the Slimfast then, i'm a fussy sod and only like the coffee one. I've seen it in my local chemist BOGOF, not sure which chain it is i'll check tomorrow and post when i get home from work. Sharon xoxo

Hiya, In February's Prima magazine there is an offer for FREE 30 days gym pass for Curves. No reference code so i suggest you can just mention Prima mag. You need to join by 31st January tho Their number is 0800 130 0544 - or check out www.curves.com HTH Sharon xoxo

Andy, I just wanted to say 'well done you!' I think you are doing an amazing job and you are definitely an inspiration. I can empathise with you about the school thing, i too was the 'fat' girl in the year. I'm looking forward to my reaching goal sometime this year when i can say goodbye to the...

Hi Justin I didn't know that Tesco done their own sf type shakes, i'll have to look out for them. Do they do coffee flavour? Good luck! Sharon xoxo

I find getting an accurate weigh in is a nightmare too. Best bet is to choose one weighing process and stick to it. Have you taken into account what you are wearing when you get weighed? I'm guessing you don't strip off in Boots which means some of the weight would be clothes, shoes etc HTH...

Welcome!! and Good Luck :)

Hi Dancing Queen, glad to have you with us. I'm trying my own healthy living plan too. We seem to be a similar weight and have similar goals so would be good to see how we go. Sharon xoxo

I have just a major blip due to TOTM, it started on Wednesday evening and Thursay was an absolute nightmare. I thought i was going crazy. I never knew how totm affected me before it's only cos i have been so good for the past couple of weeks that i noticed it. Oh well, back on the healthy eating...

Hi Lexi, I think that you should really be having a few more cals per day, apparently women should not go lower than 1300 for any length of time. I have checked my BMR (basal metabolic rate ) and i need about 2600 cals per day with light activity so i am dropping roughly 7000 cals per week...

I had the priority booking too and managed to get May half term at Pontins Camber Sands :) My daughter can't wait!

I thought this episode was hilarious, talk about Hyacinth Bucket. That Dawn really thought the sun shone from her backside with her Lotus and hot tub, what a laugh ;)

I love so many different bands especially Passenger. Their 'Wicked man's rest' album is the dog's danglies.

This film is fantastic, Haley Joel Osment - the little boy, is a super young actor!

Love that advert!!!!!!!!!!

I'm reading '7th Heaven' by James Patterson at the moment and loving it. When i've finished i have a couple of Michael Connolly books lined up :)

When i was in the states a few years ago i used Phentermine pills and lost 3 stone. They work as an appetite supressant and have been banned over here since the 70's. I bought them from an online pharmacy and thankfully suffered no side effects. I have a few friends that use them in the US and...

Hiya, I have just started using the healthy living tracker from Tesco, i find it very user friendly. :) Check out the following link to see what you think.

Hi Bexx I'm Sharon, I have about 7 stone to lose. I'm a single mum to Olivia who is 5 going on 15. I have a really exciting job (not) working in a cab office. xoxo

I generally stick to within 1300 - 1500 cals per day and have a few drinks on one weekend night. I figure that providing i am consuming way less cals than i was before i will still lose weight. It seems to be working so far but i will continue to monitor it as i go along. I was a binge eater and...

I'm counting calories. I eat between 1300 and 1500 per day and have a boozy day once a week too. I have packed in beer tho, i drink wine or spirits instead now. 12 1/2lbs in 2 weeks is great start for me and i will definitely keep it up. I don't deprive myself of anything - if i want a packet of...

I'm down about 4lbs which is pretty cool but still early days for me. Don't get disheartened with the gain, tomorrow is another day - baby steps :)

Hi Heidi, Welcome to the forum, I'm a newbie too. What diet are you doing? I'm calorie counting - about 1500 cals per day and walking a bit more than usual. I've lost about 12 1/2lbs of the 7 ish stone that i need to lose and i am determined to do it this time. Good luck honey, i'm sure you'll...

Hi Lexi, I have about 7 stone to lose and can't wait to meet the new me. I remember vaguely being a size 14 at age 17 but never less than a size 18 in the 20 yrs since. Good luck to you babe :) I'm sure you'll do a great job and well done the fab start! Sharon xoxo

Hi fellow calorie counters :) I just wondered how many cals per day are you guys on and do you have planned 'off diet' days at all? I am doing my own little diet thing and have around 1500 cals per day. So far i have lost 12 1/2lbs in 2 weeks.

San Francisco is the dog's danglies as far as i'm concerned and Helsinki is a very close 2nd.

I'm 5ft 8 inches tall and weigh 17st 11lbs and a definite apple shape - mainly fat around my belly (like a darts player lol) My clothes size varies from 20 - 24 I have a vague memory of being a size 14 and being 11st 8lbs ish, that was 20 years ago tho - i'd love to be a size 12/14 eventually :)

I have given up the coors light and replaced it with red wine which gets me drunk alot quicker therefore less calories consumed :)

My main reason for losing weight is to be fitter and more healthy for my daughter. I don't want to be O's fat mummy anymore! Also I would love to get some male attention ;) I've been having a bit of a secret thing with a toyboy who maybe would go public if i was slimmer!? Stupid eh lol

I constantly think about food but now i have started a weight loss plan for the FINAL time i have changed the way i think about it. Food is no longer a wonder cure for me to feel better or congratulate myself but only a neccessity to live.

I've been a good girl because i didn't have any alcohol yesterday! Usually Saturdays are my boozy day with my friends and then i overeat on Sundays due to hangover.

I'm really happy to say that i have a GREAT weekend so far! Not a drop of alcohol so no hangover cravings Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would just love to be able to clothes shop anywhere i wanted to and not have to pay the FAT premium of shopping in Evans! I have a vague memory of being a 14 when i was 17/18 and would be overjoyed to get there again.

Hiya, Just wanted to to say that, you shouldn't be so hard on yourself! I'm sure that all of us have fallen off the wagon more than once. I think the key is 'Baby steps'. I take things one day at a time, if i have a blip one day i just get on with things again asap. Too many times in the past i...

I have told a couple of friends and they have both said good luck but i am sure that they don't believe i can do it. One friend annoyed me a bit tho cos she said "oh no!, you won't be the same Sharon anymore" I have come to the conclusion that the only person i have to convince is me and that i...

Yay!!!!!!!!!! I am so happy, i just managed to book my Sun holiday. First choice park and dates! I can't wait to show off my soon to be slimmer figure :)

Hiya, I've got around 7 st to lose and am definitely gonna do it this time. Baby steps is the key :) As an added incentive i am getting sponsored to slim for a local hospice charity too, anything to get to goal. Good luck all

oleander :)

6 out of 8 for me - not great but way better than i thought :)

Hiya, i'd love to join this challenge too please, It ties in quite nicely with my secret goal date :) Only a little blip so far but i'm not gonna get disheartened!

Hello, I'm a newbie too. Just started another weight loss plan last Monday, but this will be my LAST! I have decided on getting the extra incentive of slimming to raise money for charity so that i will not want to let them down. Good luck to everyone else! and congratulations to all at goal...
