    Dione please don't worry about going up the plans. I felt the same but am now happy on 1000 (its only day 1 but I have decided I'm ok with it) I still have a stone to go, and if it goes at 1lb a week, so what, at least its going and I'm able to eat a (kind of) normal diet while its coming off...

    Eeeeekkk!!!!! Scared of 1000

    I have been doing SS then SS+ for 4 weeks, and went onto 810 last week as I reached BMI 25. I have been to my CDC tonight who has put me on 1000! I'm happy with that as I couldn't stomach the meal choices on 810 any longer, but I'm scared I'm not going to lose, I still want another stone off...

    I have the next £99 vibro plate too, its great. It feels like it is working, and I'm sure its contributing to my loss! Only been on it 5 days so far though so early days.

    Can I ask what you lose on average weekly on SS+? Just to give me an idea. I thought about it but dismissed it initially as I was worried that it would just tempt me to eat too much! It also doesn't look that different to 810 to me. I think I need to do something though, I'm sooooo bored :(
