Hi Thinklite - thanks for encouragement, amazingly I've just got back from weigh in and somehow I managed to loose 4lb again this week, needless to say I was well chuffed !! I think all the exercise I'm doing must have helped to burn off all the 'naughty' things I've had this week. Must be...

Like you say, at least you didn't have a gain...put it behind you and start afresh....pesky cakes - they should be banned LOL !

Hi everyone Good luck Gill with SW, I think you're totally right, having managed to do SS 100% you'll definitely manage to make healthy choices on the SW plan. I want to loose another 2.5 stone (or thereabouts...I change my mind every day!) and then I'm going to go back to SW. I've had a...

Hi all - everyone had a good weekend? I went to a BBQ on Saturday and decided I would have to eat, it would have been almost impossible not to. I was a bit naughty and ate far too much, I had two chicken kebabs and two plate falls of salad, some humus and carrot sticks - woops ! I'm back on...

Hi March Team Apologies for dissapearing, so much has been going on at work, I've just been all over the place. Hopefully things are going to start to get back to normal now so all being well I can get on here more regularly. Ok, so I lost 4lb last week and 2lb this week - hurrah - it's...

Hi Marchies Sorry haven't been on here for a week or so, work has been crazy busy ! Well, I lost 4lb last week and another 4lb this week, which I am so pleased with, bearing in mind I went out for two meals last weekend for my OH's birthday. I've turned into a water baby...I've been...

I know EXACTLY how you feel. The more I loose the baggier my arms get, stretch marks are appearing at the sides of my boobs and don't get me started on my tummy - I know by the time I get to goal weight my boobs are gonna be down by my knees and I'm never going to have a nice flat tummy....it...

Hi all, hope weekend is going ok for everyone? I've been so hungry the last few days, I had a little slip up and had a few finn crisp crackers with marmite, MMmmmm ! Wish I hadn't now though, am desperate for a decent loss on Wed as I know the following week I'm bound to put on weight after...

Hi gillian, you've done so well getting through the funeral without slipping up - I know if I had to face something like that I would find it ever so hard not to comfort eat/drink - well done you :0) I went on to my local leisure centre's website this afternoon and found that they have an aqua...

Hello everyone We have been very quiet haven't we...guess we've all been busy over Easter, hope everyone enjoyed themselves. Gill - well done on your 3lb loss, that's wicked ! Kirstie - how did your WI go? Great news about your fella. Hels - hang in there, you've been doing SO well...

Hi Marchies How's everyone doing so far over Easter?! Off to Priddy Forest tomorrow (as long as it doesn't rain) for a nice long walk....away from any Easter Eggs LOL ! Vix

Well, it would have been rude not to !! When's your next WI...? I'm sure half a sandwich won't do any damage ! How sad am I, it's a Friday night and I'm online !! Where has my life gone - my friends think an alien has taken over my body !! Vix

Ha ha, there are that many things I'm 'saving' until I'm at target, I'll never find the time to taste them all again :0)

Morning all Well, arrived at work this morning to find a bloomin great Easter Egg on my desk, courtesy of my boss ! Lovely thought but arrghhhh !!!!!!!!!! Vix

Thank you !

Just got back from my weigh-in, another 4lb off - woop woop !! Vix

Afternoon everyone Another 100% SS day for me...weigh-in this evening, I don't know why but I desperately want to have lost 4lb (obviously any more than that would be FAB but I really, really want to get 4lb off). Fingers, toes and just about anything that crosses, crossed ! Just went for a...

Reading your post has made me so angry, how dare anyone speak to you like that !! Honestly I am really, really annoyed - maybe all the Marchies should get together and let him know a thing or two ! Sorry if I've crossed the line...it's just really got my goat ! Don't let it get you down...

Tks Hels, good luck for your WI tomorrow, let us know how you get on, fingers crossed.

Hiya everyone Twingo - only putting on a pound is just brilliant, you must be pleased ! Did you have a fabby time in Rome, was it for a special occassion or just a break away? Dextersmum - well done you 7lb loss, that's wicked. Hey Sonya - well done for getting back on it 100% - how are...

Hi LauraLou - don't panic, what's done is done, just put it behind you and try to forget it, I don't expect one sarnie will affect your WI !! Earlier this evening I was making my boyfriend's lunch to take to work tomorrow and as I was wrapping up a pork pie I was drooling and actually had a...

Thanks Hels, it's just a nightmare isn't it ?! I went away last weekend and although I'm on SS, I had to have dinner in the hotel so just stuck to pork and mainly veg but buffet brekkie was SOOO tempting. I've turned down loads of nights out in the last 4 weeks, but some I can't, like the...

Hey everyone Egg - you've lost so much weight and it's coming off really fast...2 stone in six week is seriously good going. I don't understand why your CDC thinks it's too slow?!? I think you're doing absolutely brilliantly ! I had my fourth weigh-in tonight and lost 3lb which I was...

Night March team - spk to you all tomorrow !

Thank you !! ...and well done you for getting back on it !! I'll post again tomorrow night and let you know how WI goes, fingers crossed. Vix

Hiya Debs Very true, normally I'd be sat here on the sofa, laptop on my legs and a huge bag of doritos on one side of me and a tub of sour cream on the other LOL ! Ok, am determined to get back on track in the morning - ten weeks until my first holiday of the year so I HAVE to stick to this...

Hi everyone Well done Skinnie, that's great news and well done everyone else on your losses, you're all doing so well. Unfortunately I am seriously struggling, I went to The Belfry on Sunday for an overnight stay with my boyfriend, I decided not to have any shakes on Sunday and to have a...

Hey everyone Haven't been online for a while, lots of things going on in work (which i won't bore you with) so have been pretty busy. Congratulations everyone for all the weight losses - brilliant ! Well, I had a teeny tiny blip last night, I made a cottage pie for my OH and ended up...

...and so are you !! It's definitely spurred me on to keep at it !

I am over the moon - can't believe it.

Hi Marchies Ahh Sonya, hope you're feeling better soon ! I've just been for weigh-in number 3 and lost 6lb, so 1 stone and 4lb in three weeks - hip hip hooray - am SO chuffed - Summer here we come !! I agree with all the posts above about not puting social life on hold, you have to still...

Hi all I've had to bring forward my 3rd weigh-in to this evening instead of tomorrow, so a bit aprehensive as it will have only been 6 days instead of 7 but I've been 100% SS so hoping for a decent loss ! Sonya, I LOVE Egypt, I've been to Sharm El Sheikh twice, I went last October with a...

Hiya Marchies Well, Day 18 and I'm still 100% SS and I feel really proud of myself. Today has so far been the hardest day since starting CD, I made my boyfriend his usual Saturday morning treat, bacon & cheese baps, which didn't bother me, obviously smelt delicious but I wasn't tempted to...

Hi everyone Day 16 and still 100%, I'm surprising myself every day LOL ! I met up with my girlfriends last night and we went to our local wine lounge bar, where my friends proceeded to order tapas and then freshly made pizzas, washed down with three bottles of Rose, and what did I do, I sat...

Hiya Gemboots - hang on a minute, you've lost 9lb in a fortnight so far - that is fantastic, it would take me ages to loose that doing any other kind of diet. Like you said, have a good chat with your CDC today and see what she says. Good luck for the weigh-in, my fingers are crossed !! Vix.

Ok - think I'm becoming addicted to this thread, am off to bed now to snuggle up and watch Greys Anatomy - spk to you all tomorrow. Vix

Hello - my CDC told me that breath freshener won't knock you out of ketosis so you should be ok to use it whenever you want to. As for diet coke, she said it was a no no, but coke zero (which apparently has slightly different ingredients) is ok but only in small doses, she recommended that if I...

Mmmmm yummmy - just had my first peanut crunch bar - delicious....no seriously, it's delich !!

No, no don't even consider changing your name, it's ace. Fingers crossed for Monday ! Vix

Wowzers, tht's amazing - 11lb in one week is FAB, well done you!

Hello Marchers 14 Days being 100% SS. It was my second weigh-in this evening and I lost 4lb, I'm pleased but would obviously have liked a bit more! Sonya - I can't believe how much weight you've lost in such a short space of time - I am SERIOUSLY jealous - I wish I could loose weight like...

Hi everyone Well, it's a beautiful day here in Bristol, sunny, sunny, sunny ! Shame I'm stuck in the office. If the weather is good on Saturday, my boyfriend said he's gonna drive us to a beach (don't know which one!) and we're gonna go for a lovely long walk, I think he's trying to redeem...

Ha ha - don't change it, it's funny !

I'm glad you said it MadMum - made me smile !!

Hey Cara Course you can join the thread, the more the merrier! Just hang in there until tomorrow and no doubt your first weigh-in tomorrow will give you inspiration - I know it did for me. I've got my second weigh-in tomorrow and i'm hoping for a decent loss to keep me inspired and...

Yay you !!

Hiya Lesley - I checked with my CDC and she said that sweeteners in tablet form are fine but the powder sweeteners will throw you out of ketosis - so you should be ok. I know what you mean about surprising yourself about how positive you are, I'm on day 13 and I'm so chuffed with myself that...

Hiya Gemboots - sorry to hear you've had a rubbish day as well - what is it with today?!?! But hey ho, onwards and upwards eh?

Ladies - I can't tell you how much this thread is helping me. I've been feeling a bit down this evening...had a HUGE row with my boyfriend which has left me feeling awful, normally I would go straight out to the kitchen and feed my face as quickly as humanly possible, but instead I've logged on...

YAY !!!!!!! Way to go Dextersmum - that's fan-flippin-tastic !!!!

Hi everyone I didn't get chance to log on over the weekend, so have just enjoyed catching up on everyone's posts since Friday night. Well, I have had a FAB weekend, temptations were everywhere I looked but I didn't cave in and feel VERY proud of myself. Another weekend gone where I have...

DextersMum - try and keep busy on the weekend, it will keep your mind off of food ! Enjoy your Friday nights everyone !!

Leek & Potato soup or butterscotch shake for my dinner....what do we think?!?!

That's brilliant Debs, well done you !!!

HURRAH - it worked !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Only 87lb left to go LOL !

Testing, testing 1 2 3....

Ohhh thanks Madmum (I love your name!) I'm gonna try that now !

Thanks Twingo - well I just copied the code out of the BB box but I don't know where to paste it? Seriously I am a complete twit when it comes to things like this... V.

Guys - I'm gonna need very easy to follow instructions if I have any chance of being able to add photos. I tried to add a ticker, I created one and filled out all my details etc, but I don't know how to actually get it to appear after my messages?!!? How rubbish am I !!?!

thanks :0)

Congratulations Gemboots - that's wicked ! Hi Sonya - I'm up for doing the photograph thing, I was planning on doing it at home anyway - my partner said he'll take a piccy of me once a month to (hopefully) see the changes. Although saying that, I'm not very "techy" so not sure whether I'll be...

Hi Dextersmum - who would have thought we'd be getting excited about being weighed !!

Hey Madmum - hello back at ya !! When do you think you might be able to start CD - I know once I'd made my mind up to start, I couldn't wait !

Oh and I walked to Holland & Barrett at lunchtime and bought some husks in capsule form, so I'm gonna take two senakot this evening before I go to bed and then start taking two of the husk capsules with every shake/soup and hopefully things will start to go back to normal. I also popped into...

Hi all Well, I am feeling Fan bloomin tastic today, I think I'm still buzzing from my weigh-in last night. I have never managed to loose 8lb in one week before, this diet rocks!

Hi everyone I had my first weigh in last night and I lost 8lb. My CDC also measured me and I lost 1 inch off my bust, 1 inch off my hips, and 2 inches of my waist - WOO HOO !!!!! We're going to a friends house tonight so I'm taking my spicy tomato soup with me along with a butterscotch...

Hey Sonya That is a fantastic loss - well done, you must be soooo chuffed !! I've been drinking 4 ltrs of water a day as well - did your CDC say why that's too much water? V.

Hi everyone Sounds like everyone is doing brilliantly. Day 7 for me and my first weigh in this evening. I am soooo nervous, I've been SS 100% but haven't been to the toilet since last Wednesday! I'm obviously going to speak to my CDC about it tonight as I understand I can get some extra...

Gembots - that's great, these are the moments we need to remember when we feel we're struggling a little.

Agreed!! I don't think I'd be coping very well on my first week if I didn't have the support from you lot - thanks everyone !

Hi Amyeve If you're anything like me, you'll be really looking forward to starting CD tomorrow. Good luck for the week ahead !

Siobhan, I second what Sonya says, 4.5lb is a decent amount of weight to loose in a week - don't be too hard on yourself. Plus if your TOTM is messed up that might have affected your WI.

Sonya - in response to your post, I'm on Day 5 SS and have definitely noticed a difference in my waist. I'm wearing a pair of trousers that last Monday were VERY tight around my waist while today they are only QUITE tight.

Hi there, I can thoroughly recommend the spicy tomato and the leek & potato - both equally yummy !!!

Ha ha - not usually ! I blame it on SS'ing !

ROSB, I know exactly how you feel, I lost 5 stone (on SW) 4 or 5 years ago and have allowed myself to put it back on (plus a bit more) and I could just kick myself. But then I think - hey, what's done is done, I can't keep thinking about the past, it's the present and future that's important -...

I was wondering exactly the same thing, I don't mind if my boobs get a little smaller (40 DD currently) but I deffo don't want to end up saggy ! I'm on day 4 and suddenly everything is so much better. My hunger pangs have pretty much gone, I haven't got a headache anymore and I'm feeling...

I've been on it for two and a half years, very occasionally I have a very light period that might last for up to two days. Only once have I bled heaviliy whilst on this pill and that lasted for three weeks and was horrible, I did spk to my GP about it but she wasn't too worried - she said if it...

CD first timer - I know exactly what you mean, I'm currently sat in the house on my own as BF is out at football, normally I would be in the kitchen making lots of naughty treats for myself that I could eat in peace without any comments being made. However being on Day 3 of CD I know it just...

Hi all I'm on day three, I've never done a diet like this before, must admit am finding it quite difficult, hopefully it will get easier once I'm in ketosis. I need to loose just over seven stone - so quite a battle on my hands LOL ! The support everyone gives on here though is great, I'm...

Hi everyone Is it ok if I join in? I feel so motivated just reading all your posts. I went to see my CDC for the first time on Wed night and started the SS plan on Thursday morning. So day 2 for me and I'm finding it rather difficult to say the least! I've been drinking litres and litres...
