Yes me please!! I have been absolutely useless with the other challenged. Been too ashamed to even update on them but have finally got my act together the last couple of weeks and started the xenical properly and lots 5lbs. Soooo if it's ok, in the next 4 weeks I would like to try and lose 8lbs...

Yep, weighed myself 10days ago and i'm half a pound heavier lol

So first 10days back on and weighted myself this morning to see I have GAINED 1/2lb :( how frustrating!

Can you add me too please? Hypno1 34lbs

Aw thanks! You have done so well, 2 1/2 stone is alot to lose, you must feel and notice a big difference :) xx

Wow you guys are amazing!!! Inspiration right there! Back on it today, taken me weeks to get my confidence up to say I can do this so here goes...again! Alot of my problem is I tell myself it wont matter if I lose the weight, i'll still look like this. I have a really bad stomach from having 4...

Just seem to go round and round in circles. I lose a bit then something kicks in where I think i don't care anymore so I start gaining again, then back in to the same vicious circle again. I have alot of weight to lose. I would need to lose 5st just to sneak in to the healthy weight range for...

I don't have it too often either so guess i'm lucky but only domestos bleach works here x

When is the August bank holiday? I'm in Scotland so our dates will be different. If it's start of August then i'll aim for 42lbs. I'm really going for it though as I have a wedding in June and i'm doing at least an hour exercise every day and lost 1 1/2st so far :)

Hi everyone! Well another loss this week, 3lbs off. Good luck everyone xx

Hi everyone, Well i'm rather embarassed but i'm back again. Got xen off my gp last year and took it for a few weeks (leading up to a wedding) and lost 12lbs. Never bothered after the wedding so Nov-now I have eaten myself silly and managed to put back on 6lbs. Have started again last week and...

W ow amazng, what an inspration you are x

4kg is fab! Does your dr surgery have a nurse or dietician? I'm in Scotland too and live in a teeny village but the practice nurse offered to see me weekly if I wanted to keep me on track (chose not to). Could you ask your practice if you could do this? x

Yay! After AlienCrocHex' post I did some digging and called my chemist. They then called the wholesalers and it is def back in full time production and my chemist is getting their backlog of deliveries tomorrow and told to expect usual service to resume! So so pleased about this as my chemist...

Oh fingers x'd it's coming back then! My chemist is not so great, when I call about ti they just say it's still not in yet. They haven't had any for many months and just say they don't know when it will be back :(

Thanks gazster, I forgot you have to do that! You've done amazingly well Rachel, I can do this, I know I can! xx

Meant to say thanks for the bmr info gazster. I checked that out a few weeks ago and apparently to maintain my weight now I would need to eat almost 2200cals per day so i've knocked 1000 off that per day so that I can hopefully lose 2lb per week. Obv as time goes on though I will need to up the...

Aw thanks you all so much for your help, you have all done amazingly well!! The reason it feels different this time is because i've finally realised this is not a quick fix and this is a change I have to do for life. I''m really enjoying it and finally feel in control of my diet which is a...

Thanks everyone, I guess all I can do is my best xx

I would love to lose about 5 1/2stone in 9mths. Is that totally unrealistic? In total I would like to lose another stone on top of that but I am a bridesmaid on 5th June next year and i'm only 5ft2" and weight 15st2lb. I started the diet 2wks ago and have lost 6 1/2lbs so far and finding it...

My reward will be wearing a size 14 bridesmaid dress next June at my best friends wedding, it's on order already. My husband has also promised me a tummy tuck,how we will pay for that I don't know but he's told me to concentrate on losing the weight and he will concentrate on the money lol

I need to do it for my kids, I don't do things they want to because i'm so embarassed about myself like swimming or going in soft play with them - they are missing out because of me. Other than that the final kick up the bum has been my cousin and best friends wedding next June, I have a size 14...

Hi, i'm in South Lan. My pharmacy hasn't had any since Feb :(

Still none here (in Lanarkshire, Scotland). Pharmacist says she thinks they will never come back in!

Hey how are you getting on with it hun? I have managed to find a box of xen in the cupboards (yay!) so I have about 7wks left and then was going to try something like xls (I think it's the only one with the medical back up). I will need to find something else as my pharmacy has been out of xen...

Anyone have a list of M&S values or tell me where I can get one? Thanks

Really?? Woohoo, I love it lol

Hi, I wondered if anyone can tell me the syns in batchelors golden savoury rice please? I joined class last night and got my members card but they didn't give me a pin number so can't go online to see if I can find this out! Thanks

Aw thanks so much everyone. I think I will give it a try :)

Ho everyone. I really need to lose weight, alot of it. I need to lose over 6 stones just to reach a healthy bmi. Anywho I was thinking of joining a class but not sure what it's really all about. I've tried ww and things like that in the past but tbh I didn't stick to them, I have 4 young kids...

Wow, you guys look amazing! Who is Karen? Would love to have a sneakypeek at her pics too!

Has anyone tried this as a stop gap while waiting for orlistat? My gp said I could give these a go if I wanted but he can't prescribe them and the downside is they are expensive (about £65 a month).

Thanks everyone, I am already eating healthy and slowly losing but obviously would prefer to have the orlistat aswell. My GP is very supportive and i'm still seeing him every 4ish weeks anyway for weigh ins and to help keep me on track. He suggested that if I could afford it I may want to try...

I'm getting really frustrated, never managed to get any at all since being prescribed and i'm only "allowed" to try my own chemist (in Scotland) so it's not like I can go shopping around all the chemists in the area or anything like that :(

Brilliant thanks alot, will have a look at that xx

Hi, Does anyone know where I can find the downloadable weight loss calculator spread sheet? I got it on here a few years ago but can't find it now. I'm not doing Cambridge but the calculator was for anybody and gave you percentages and estimated time of when you would be done. Anyone?

So weird how the co-op would get them and nowhere else but they are saying they aren't manufacturing them now so where is this stock coming from? My chemist says he just keeps getting told another month ect but they never arrive and he says when they do arrive I will likely not get any as he has...

Oh I hope they don't withdraw it!

Aw thanks so much for the reply! I think it's the placebo effect isn't it? Is there any info on how much weight loss is through xenical i.e. I saw the alli website and it says for every 2lb you lose alone Alli can lose you an extra 1lb and they are only half the strength of Xenical aren't they...

Oh no, so do you think that's it then? I have about 6wks worth left (started 2wks ago) and i'm tgotally in the right frame of mind to do it this time, has only taken me 6yrs haha! I don't know how I will do without it though :( Is Alli still available?

Oh that would be lovely as it is im aiming for next summer as I only started on Tues xx

Hi, I started mine on Tues but already have a supply that should last about 6wks but my dr warned me my local chemist have been told mid June at the earliest for delivery (im in Scotland).

You really are an inspiration, I have zero willpower but really need to get ny backside in to gear as I have 6 /12 stone to lose just to get to the highest end of the healthy weight range :(

Oh wow!! That really is amazing, you must be so proud of yourself. Can I ask how long it has taken to lose as much as that? I have ALOT of weight to lose and have xenical but haven't started yet and trying to get my willpower up to give it a go xx

Hi I would love to join in please. It's my first day today so i'm going to go for quite a big loss in May since I should lose a bit mor in the first couple of weeks. Annya 5lbs - 0lbs lost...... 5lbs to go Lovehatecarbs 3lbs - 0lbs lost ........3lbs to go Hayley83 8lbs - 0lbs lost...... 8lbs to...

Oh thanks Shelley, was after the whole thing if possible hun?! Thanks x

Hi all, I wondered if anyone has a full list of the pp for ASK from the eating out guide they would be nice enough to post? I joined ww last year before getting pg and bought everything including the eating out guide which is now useless ggrrr but i've joined again last Mon but all i've...

Hi I believe they are docking 3 points off your allowance per day so im on 31 now but as of next week will be on 28 but still have the 49 extra weekly, hth.

I'm not after a quick fix at all, was just saying im fed up of yoghurt and was looking for suggestions of something else lol

Wow purple!!! You have lost an amazing amount of weight, what brilliant willpower and determination you must have, you must be so proud of yourself! Jacqui sounds like youare doing really well too. Hope I can do as well as you both are x

Thanks both of you! I've had a rough time weight wise the last few years, in the last 4 1/2yrs i've spent half of it pregnant and the other half battling my weight but never winning and never really feeling like I could but something has just clicked all of a sudden and I feel ready to do this...

Hi everyone, I started xenical on Mon and would like to lose 12lb in my first month (just as it's my first month, know it will slow down after that). I have a total of at least 5 1/2 stone to lose but really hoping to lose closer to 6 /12 stone so really need to break everything down to...

Hi everyone, starting again but this tim very determined to do it as I am now at my heaviest and it hasfinally hit me I have to do something about this now!! I willneed a TT after I lose the weight as I am only 5ft 2" and weigh 15st 5lb and hope to lose at least 6 stone (hopefully nearer 7) and...

Hi, i've just started on xenical on Mon and would like to be added if that's ok please? Start weight 215lb goal weight by Xmas 191lb (hoping for 24lb loss)

That's great pepshouse! Goldie - that's the thing, I dont know if I could have moved when she done it, I feel like I prob could have though but with the cd I def can move and I do move about to get more comfy ect so does that mean I def am not under?

Hi everyone, went for my first session on Mon and she was amazing!! Really intelligent woman, works with the police, nhs, womens aid, shelter and sleep scotland. She was a teacher for a long time before taking up councelling, cbt and hypnotising. She taled to me for over an hour asking...

That's brilliant mum1022, can I ask why there is such a wait between sessions? I have my first session tom so preparing myself for a wait between sessions if needed! What a shame pepshouse, but you are totally right to wait until she can offer you 100%! My first session is tom night I am...

Oh good luck! x Mine has had to cancel me tom and see me Fri afternoon instead, not too worried about it though, only a few days longer to wait!

Not long now pepshouse!! What time is your app at? Mine is at 6pm tom and i've no idea how to get there, it's about 30ish miles away, have taken aa route finder directions but you know how inaccurate these things can be so considering going a wee trial run tonight to make sure I make it right on...

What bad experience did you have goldie?

Yeah I dont want to mess around with anything the hypnotherapy is doing x

It's def going to work, we have to think positive!! I have been given orlistqat off the doc too although I haven't started using it yet, thought I would wait until my first session and ask if it would be too confusing to use that along with the hypnoband. Im desperate for it to work or im...

pepshouse we should buddy up, myfirst session is on 10th aswell! we could compare what they did in our sessions and egg eachother on with the weightloss!

Oh thanks for that, will def tune in to that tonight!! Well i've took a big step and booked myself in with a "licensed hypnoband" practitioner. She seems lovely and has had good successes from what she says, alos very accomodating with when I am available to see her as I have 4 very young...

Yeah I guess it is best to get personal reccomendations but I don't know anyone who has had it done. Has anyone on here used anyone in Scotland? x

hypnotherapy Hi everyone, I am seriously consdiering going for a course of this therapy and wondered if any of you could offer some advice please? Is it important to go to someone who says they are a licenses hypnoband practitioner? I've seen a few here (Scotland) who say they are licensed...

Thanks to all of you for the replies! Went to the docs last Fri and she gave me the prescription straight away, she was really nice. Starting today eek! Anyway I asked again about the apronectomy and she said that although the answer would normally be a straight no, she would def put a case...

Hi Aims, Just want to wish you good luck! If I were you I wouldn't wait and just get started, when I was on xencial it took a few days for me to feel any effects of it and it was only when I had eaten something "wrong", it wont work on anything you have eaten up until you take it, just start...

Hi everyone, Well im hoping to go to the docs this week to ask to be put back on xenical again. I've been on it twice before, first time I lasted a few weeks and gave up and 2nd time I fell pg. I need to lose 4 1/2 stone just to get to a healthy weight range but ideally want to lose a stone on...

Hi everyone, I started Scottish Slimmers on 13/6 and began taking xenical yesterday, 21/6. I tried xenical a couple of years ago but wasn't in the right frame of mind and gave up very quickly. Anyway I still had the tabs and they are in date so started yesterday and going to visit my doc at...

Little update, I have my c-section date now, 20th April when I will be 37+2 with the twins! Hope I make it that far!! x

Just saw this in the daily mail: Obese Kiira Delaney loses 17 stone in 2 years after GP says no to gastric band | Mail Online Well done Kiira, you look and sounds like you feel amazing! What an inspiration you are. x

Can't quite believe that I will be 26wks with the twins tomorrow!! It has flown in so far and I will meet them in 10wks time at the latest. This pregnancy hasn't been without a few dramas on the way but so far they are healthy and doing well. I have another scan in 2wks time and then will be...

oops sorry, i'm 30! x

I am pg at the moment but reckon after the babies are born I will have about 56lb to bring me down to a healthy weight range but ideally I would like to lose a bit morfe than that at about 66lbs to bring my bmi well in to thhe healthy range. I will be having the twins in April so hoping to use...

Hi, can anyone tell me how many pints I would be on please? I am 5ft 2", weigh about 14st 7lbs and am not very active. I am pg but have spoken to my mw and she is happy for me to gon pro-points as long as I add on 200cals a day to the diet but ww wont let me joing as I am pg even though my mw...

Hi everyone, just a quick update. That's me 21wks now with the twins and weighing 14st 6lbs. Was a bit miffed about it but need to try and remember that it probably is pretty good going considering i'm still a few pounds under my pre-pregnancy weight and that I am having twins, going by the...

Jaynie I am so so sorry for your terrible loss, I can't even begin to imagine your pain. What a twist of fate for your baby to be due on the same day as you lost your gorgeous little boy, if you believe in something then I think your little one is sending you a brother or sister for him to look...

Just updating - I am now 16+3 and 14st 4ish, so starting to put it on now but still around half a stone lighter than I was before pregnancy so not bad considering it's twins. x

Just a wee update, well I wont be having a TT anytime soon anyway - i'm 14wks pregnant with twins!! They will be delivered by section too and although I def can't wait for the babies I dread to think what my tummy is going to be like after this pg! The doc said they are no further in to getting...

Hi everyone. Weighed myself this morning and i'm 14st 2lb so lost another lb. I'm also 12wks today yay!! MW seems pretty happy that I have lost 9lbs especially with carrying twins. My goal is to try and hover around 14st 7lb by the end of pregnancy. Not sure how feasible that will be but will...

Thanks ladies. Hopefully I will be able to do as well as you both have! Finding it hard just now with the sickness though to eat and when I do eat I want junk food!

Hi everyone, I hope you don't mind me popping on here but I was looking to start a pregnancy diary to keep me on track with my weight if that's ok? I am 11 weeks pregnant with twins and weighed 14st 11lb pre-pregnancy and my weight is now 14st 3lb so I have lost 8lbs since finding out (purely...

lol, don't be daft I can understand why you would be sensitive about it! It gets me too whn people just rubbish the CD, it wasn't my intentions to do that.

Sorry I didn't mean to offend about Cambridge KD. I was just putting accross MY OWN experience of Cambridge, not what the diet is or isn't, and certainly not trying to spread rumours about the diet. I think Cambridge really can work for some people, just not me, not least because I have the...

Well i've made up my mind and i'm going to give the diet chef a go. I talked everything over with dh last night and he said he would much prefer me to be on diet chef as he thinks not eating at all on Cambridge is really unhealthy. I explained my worries to him about not being able to control...

Thnaks so much ladies! I soke to hubby last night and he's all for me giving it a go, he really doesn't like me being on CD although he does support me in my decision to do it. He thinks it isn't good for my little ones to see me sitting with a shake while they all eat dinner and my eldest (3)...

Hi everyone, I am currently on the Cambridge diet and finding it pretty difficult. This is the third time in a year I have been on it. First time I lost over 2 stones, 2nd time 1 1/2 stones and this time I have been on it just 2 1/2wks and i'm really struggling already. I am desperate to...

Thanks, we are thinking of trying once I get all the weight off so hopfully beginning of next year but i've been reading a few articles saying it's a good idea to start taking it 6mths before conception.

Is it ok to take this while on CD?

I will join too please. Lyndzi76 - 9lb So much to lose - 14lbs SacredSilence - 14lbs gillianr - 14lbs

Yes she should do, can't see why not. I would giver her a ring and explain, see what she says.

Hopefully this is the one for you then, it does make such a difference. This is my third time on the diet in a year and this time I really feel like I can make it and alot of that is down to my cdc. My other two basically took the money and that was it, in fact the last one never had what I...

Great thanks!!

I'm sure someone will correct me if I am wrong but you can have your full 3 or 4 packs a day allowance on it (that's SS). I love the tetras and the last twice I have been on CD I only got the chocolate tetras so this time I got all the flavoured packets to try and I still totally prefer the...

Great thanks KD. Got all the medical stuff sorted and signed off and i'm on day 6 off SS. Had a 5 day weigh in yesterday and have lost 5 1/2lb so far, and that's totm too so yay! My cdc is going away on holiday so had to buy 3wks worth of cd and wont get weighed in again until 11th June. So far...

I know this is my third time on CD but still not all that sure how it will actually work. I started at 14st 3/4lb. I lost 5 1/5lb yesterday at a 5day weigh in so I am now 13st 8 1/4lb. I have to get down to 9st 10lb to get in to the healthy weight range. Ideally I want to weight 8st 7lb at the...

Good luck with it all hunni, look forward to hearing from you when you get started. I am on my third try in the last year and this time I am determined to really do it. It is roasting outside today and I can't cope with the bag fat horrible sweay mess I am any longer! I am never spending another...

Hi, I would like to join. I'm going to say 56lbs. Seems alot but I have just started and have a 5 day weigh in today so for the first couple of weigh ins it should be more than the average and then i'm hoping to be consistent with the stone a month. gillianr - 56lb

Ah ok I get it, thanks x

I know you aren't meant to have it but just wondered what the reasons for it are?

I'll join in too then please. I've just started so would ideally like to lose 2 stone in the 6wks. Gillianr2 - 28lb

Maybe if you've had alot of them you have been sickened off them iykwim? I'm day one of a second re-start though and im loving my chocolate tetra but I know a couple of weeks in I will be sick of them again! lol

Hi, wondered if anyone could tell me how much the shaker is? My CD said she will order me one in so I can get the packs of shakes instead of just the tetras all the time. She is going on hols and I need to buy just over 2wks worth and the shaker so would like a rough idea of how much £ to take...

Wow you look amazing! You must be really proud of yourself, your waist is teeny weeny! Hope one day I can be like you x

Well can't believe it but I am starting again on Monday. This will be my second re-start. Very mad at myself for not losing it all before now and i'm a year down the line now from my first start on CD. This is kinda the last stop for me before surgery as I have requested a gastric band and been...

That's amazing Zoe! I can remember you giving me support last year as we started around the same time, needless to say I gave up but my god look at you! You look amazing and it sounds like you feel amazing, well done hunni and enjoy your photoshoot, you so deserve it!

Thanks KD! That's brilliant! Really excited now, going ot call doc to get an appointment now!

Thanks for that Starlight. I def wouldn't want to come off them as I would be risking everything kicking off again, my consultant said I am on them for life or I need to have a catheter ablation (heart op) done. Really want to get back on the CD, my doc has refered me for wls but says that...

Wondered if anyone knew anything about taking propranolol (beta blocker) for SVT. SVT is where the heart can suddenly and rapidly beat around 300times per minute. I am on propranolol to control it. So far it has been 5mths since I was last hospitalised with it and the drugs seem to be...

Hi, I've been taking xenical this week, haven't done any of my usual morning walks due to the freezing weather and my little one having the cold. I overate approximately 10points this week and weighed in 2lb lighter this week so pretty pleased with that. If the xenical helps to keep me on...

I started Xenical (the double strength version of Alli froom docs) this week too. I already had them in the cupboard but never really took them because I had some heart problems and have a heart condition now so didn't know if I was allowed them or not. I asked my cardiologist the other week and...

Hi, I am 5ft 2" and now weight 13st 4lb. I don't have a diary on here but i've lost 9lb in 3wks. I pretty much eat cereal in the morning with coffee and a yoghurt or taost. I then have soup and bread for lunch and a ww ready meal and a ww pudding at night. I make up the extra points with light...

Thanks for the replies, it does still sound vague earnings wise. I better lose the weight first before I start thinking along those lines though eh lol! Would be very interested to hear how you get on with the seminar!

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone had thought of becoming or is a leader on the board? I have long way to go with my weight loss but would be interested in becoming a leader once I get there, I love this diet so far, especially because I don't actually feel like I am on a diet...

Thnaks Linda, I will get in touch with her asap.

Thanks KD, no I wasn't given a yellow book, all I have is a book for soul source which I was originally on. I didn't realise that I would have to get the doc to sign me off on it now either. I have SVT which can be triggered by all sorts but I have been told to have less stress and that...

Hey everyone, I decided to go for the 1000 plan. I have been diagnosed with a heart condition after being blue lighted in to hosi last Thurs afternoon so def don't think the ss would have been allowed for me just now. Anyway, I went to ee my counsellor on the THurs morn and had already...

O right I see, still haven't decided on 810 or 1000 yet. Hopefully going to see cdc on Friday to decided and get started. Hope I can do it this time. Don't think i'll be telling anyone this time that i'm dieting though (other than here) as I must look ridiculous not losing it.

Thanks KD, I just don't want to feel like i'm running others down with the way I feel iykwim? I text my old counsellor and she said to go and see her, said it would be about £37 per week. Is that right for 810/1000 as I was paying that for SS and thought that there were more packs for ss?

Thanks KD, I really do want to lose the wight but then I guess I really wanted to lose it the last times I started it too and I didn't. Maybe I just don't have it in me to lose it. All I know is that I think about my weight all day long evey day now and I know that it is having a detrimental...

Thnaks for the replies people, I know what you mean. I do need to ask myself if it's right for me in the first place and the answer is I just don't know. I'm pretty sure that ss and ss+ aren't right for me (hence this would be 3rd time around!). My problem is that I don't like ss because it is...

Bump

Hi, I am thinking of re-starting CD but not too sure if it's the right thing to do. This would be my 3rd time round, first time I lasted 7/8wks and lost 2 1/2stones last time I did 4wks and lost over 1 stone and at the very beginning of everything I think I weighed 14st 4lbs, I am now 13 10 so...

Thanks ladies, quite chuffed! x

I've had a few vodkas this week on xenical and i've still lost 1lb and that's after stopping CD wih expected weight gain of 6lb in 2wks so you def can drink and still lose weight. I drink vodka and diet coke, I just make sure it is 25ml and not a double or that and count up the calories and...

Thnaks, got a long way to go but kow I can get there when i'm allowed to eat. CD was far too temting to throw it all in and binge, at least this way I can learn myself to eat healthily and still lose weight, all be it a wee bit slower than on CD.

Hi everyone, well I weighed myself on the wii this morning and I have lost 1lb in my first week of ww and xenical. I know it doesn't sound much but I am really pleased as I have been warned to expect to gain around 6lbs over the first couple of weeks due to me coming off CD. So glad actually...

Thnaks Louisa, have been sticking to 18 points this week so far to try and balance out the weight gain with the glycogen. Hopefully wont gain too much the first couple of weeks then i'm hoping to start losing.

Wow! Look at the weight loss you've had, that's so amazing. I was thinking my goals were a long way off but just goes to show what you can do. You must have worked really hard to get to this point! I was hoping to lose 3ish lbs a week, do you think i'm being completely unrealistic?

Hey, thanks for that Abby. It says i've to have 1200cals per day so i'm not too far off that.

Hi everyone, Well i've finally decided to give xenical a proper go. I'm going to do it alongside WW but obviously watching the grams of fat in each meal too. I finished CD in May after losing 30lbs and promptly put back on 26 of those. I have just finished amonth of cd (more to give me a kick...

Hey, thanks very much for getting back to me. I don't think i'll lose anything the first couple of weeks tbh. My aim is to try and amintain my weight until the third week where I hope, fingers x'd, I will start losing again. Thanks again.

Hi, I have just started ww today and i'm going to do it along with xenical. I have just stopped doing cd for a month and understand the first couple of weeks I may actually put on weight and then start to lose it again. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone can tell me what fast track is? I've...

Hi, i'm 5ft 2" and my goal is 8st 7lbs which givs me a bmi of 21.3 so right in the middle of healthy, i used to weigh 8-8 1/2st and was an 8/10 so hoping my goal will get me in to size 10's again, although my body has changed drastically so think it may actually get me in to a size 12. Anything...

Thnaks for that KD. I got it felivered yesterday but I didn't really like it tbh, I felt like I was drinking a stock cube (which I know it effectively is!) Think i'm going to order the CD drinks mix and have them warm, see if that is any good. On the up side though I can use the boullion for...

Ah I see, thanks for that. It is on carpet with the wooden board on top, don't think I would e able to do it on tiles. Hubby thinks the wii is out too but in the opposite way, he has weighed in 9lbs heavier this morning than when he weighed himself 4mths ago but he has been running and...

Thanks for that ladies, I have ordered the swiss marigold reduced saly and it should hopefully be coming with my asda order int he next hour or so! Will let you know what I think of it.

hi, I was wondering what scales you all go by, your own or your cdc? I was on cd a few months backa nd lost 30lbs and just weighed myself every week on my wii balance board as my cdc said that they would be as accurate as it could possibly be. This time around I have a new cdc and she...

Following on from the water intake thread it was mentioned about bouillon. Is that allowed on CD and is it any good lol!

Thnaks for that ladies, makes it all a bit clearer in my head now! I don't know why I was under the impression I had to have 3ltrs a day (might be as I have bars and tetras and think you have to drink extra with those? Not sure!). I def don't want my weight loss to slow, the quicker it comes off...

Just wondered if anyone can answer why so much water intake on CD? I'm struggling abit with it and finding it difficult to get all 3ltrs in a day, 2 litres is about as much as I can stomach. Wondered if it is simply to to replenish the water I would normally be getting from food or if it...

I know what you mean jen, I love my coffee and have been really good with buying decaf (trying to sort out my lifestyle altogether) but I do need that wee bit milk in it or I find it undrinkable. If I can take the milk then I can have tea too which would be great.

Thnaks for that everyone. I have tried putting the shakes in coffee before (last time round) and I really didn't like i at all. I am only on week 2 so can manage through this week without, it's next week when I can have the bars (I love them!) that i want to be able to have a coffee with them...

Hi, I was looking for a bit of advice. I am currently on SS and have been sticking to it 100%. The thing is I am freezing with the ketosis and could really be doing with a hot drink. I hate black tea and I can just about manage black coffee but it isn't enjoyable at all. I noticed that on SS+...

People might shoot me down for this but in all honesty CD is sooo restrictive and hard to stick to that your heart has to be completely in it to stick to it iykwim? And you don't sound too convinced. I would say in your case you might be better looking at a slimming club such as ww or sw where...

Mines is having people say things all the time, things that they prob don't think are hurstful but are iykwim? I'm sure we've all had the comments before. Also, me dreading going out anywhere I might see people I know, esp people I haven't seen for a while and for them to be looking at me in...

Hi everyone, I have recently re-started and got my tetsras last Tues. Some were dated for Dec 09 and the others for Sep and Oct. The Dec ones were totally ok but the Sep and Oct ones have a really sour aftertaste as if they are off. I know they are still in date but they taste off. It's both...

My horrendous overhang is what I hate the most. It can be seen through all my clothes so I try to wear long floatey tops which do nothing for my shape but make me look even huger. It also rubs and aches around my scar from my 2 c-sections. My doc told me that I can have an apronectomy on NHS...

Hi, I was hoping I could join in? I have only re-started yesterday after a months away. I stopped due to pains I was having in my gallbladder and it was suspected I had gallstones. I don't believe that the diet is the blame of it all so i'm going to give it another go and if I have any trouble...

That explains it much better thanks! I've printed off all the pages for free foods, super free, syns and healthy extras for EE days so that should make it a bit easier for me to choose what to have. I had a massive prawn salad for lunch so i'm really full up now! Kinda dreading weighing myself...

I think it's more the cost of going to a group now as i've just shelled out £60 for online and then the cots of the weekly group and the nearest ones to me are 16mls away so that's 32mls extra per week in petrol too. I also work shifts so I could end up missing some of the group sessions and obv...

Hi everyone, Well it seems as though everyone is still managing really well! I decided on Sat that i'm going to start on slimming worold. I've lost 2st 4lb on CD and have another 3 1/2 to go but i've decided to start a healthy eating plan now and still lose the weight but get used to a...

Hi, i'm still trying to find my feet with the different plans on SW. It's all a bit confusing (i'm easily confused I know!). I didn't take xenical while on cd as I don't think it would have made much difference to my weight loss on it. I realise the losees are going to slow right down to maybe...

Hi all, I've just joined slimming world online and i'm trying to read through how the diet works. I've lost 2st 4lbs on cambridge diet so far and i'm ready to move on to a healthy eating plan now. I still have 3 1/2st to lose. I like the sound of the extra easy plan but can I follow that...

Hi, I got them in the online Next sale. The rock and republic ones were £200 down to £90 and the true religion ones were £150 down to £70. Bargain!! I ordered loads of evisu t-shirts and jeans and a few rock and republics but sent them all back, even at a bargain price when I added it all up...

I've already bought a pair of size 10 rock and republic jeans and size 10 true religion jeans (in the sales, too good to miss out on!). They will be way too long for me but I don't care as long as I get in to them by Sept=ish lol! I have a few other bits and bobs i'm hoping to get in to aswell...

Thanks for all the replies!! It really has gave me more insight in to xenical. I think I am going to try to stick to CD for now and see how I get on. It is really tough going but I do want to lose the weight as fast as possible. I wouldn't say that I have an unhealthy relationship with food or...

Thanks for that, I totally get what your saying about the possibility of sabotaging my current losses. The thing I have been struggling with most is the thought of not losing the same amount as on Cambridge Diet and regretting my decision if I do stop. I think I would be really upset if I...

Thanks Jess. Just saw your tt picks! It looks great and your scar has really faded, not angry looking at all like I thought it might be. I def want to go ahead with the apronectomy if my stomach doesn't go down (i'm sure it wont though as my muscles are done in!). I'm struggling a little with...

Hi everyone, I kow that's a bit of a tough question considering everyone is different but I would like to kow what you all lose in an average onth by taking xenical and following a low cal diet? I am currently on the Cambridge Diet and I am losing the weight pretty well. So far i've lost...

Well i've been to the doc today and whilst there I mentioned that my stomach is bothering me. He said that through losing weight it will go down quite a bit but if it's still bothering me we can talk about an apronectomy after i've lost the rest of the weight. He said though that in order to get...

That's what my clothes are like too, my sizs differ becaus eof the overhang. At the moment my measurements are showing i'm a 16 on the hips but an 18/20 on the tummy! It's a nightmare! So glad your tummy tuck well. I have pushed it to the back of mind as I always seem to hear of the horror...

Thanks for that, will see if I can track down icemoose then. I have to make an app with my gp anyway as I was supposed to go and see him weeks ago to have my bloods done and for him to monitor me on the cd so I will gage his reaction to a tummy tuck then.

Hi, I was looking for some advice/opinions on having a tummy tuck. I have had 2 c-sections in under 2 yrs and my stomach is in a mess, I have a massive overhang (no exaggeration) and my tummy muscles never knitted back together despite doing post op excersises. Naturally this is very...

I picked the weight I was a few years ago when I first met dh. I rarely weighed myself back then but I know I was wearing size 8/10 clothes and was somewhere between 8 and 8 1/2stone so getting somewhere around there would be great. The thing i'm not too sure about though is my body has...

Hi I know that they do advise a lower calorie diet in conjunction with taking these but tbh I don't know if it would be ok in conjunction with a vlcd. It's actually just a much lower dose of orlistat (about half) which is only available through your dr. Orlistat blocks up to 30% of fat from...

That's great, your doing really well. We have lost realli similar amounts although my losses have slowed right down to 3lb a week and i've been 100% since day 1 - it's been totm for me for over 3wks now :eek: bloody depo jag playing havoc with my hormones. Hoping it is just the depo that's...

I was on depo for a couple of years a few years ago and decided to give it a try at the end of last year. Well it's played total havoc o my hormons and my weight. I gained over half a stone within weeks of being on it and look bloated. My nurse said it tends to swell you up with water retention...

Thanks for that, I really don't want to have an endoscopy, esp when the app came in with all the stuff about what could go wrong! I think they are being wayyy overy cautious because of my b12 and I get very occasional heartburn. I was going to cancel but I know my doc would just keep pushing me...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone can help me with this. I have been booked in for an endoscopy this coming Tuesday, I have a B12 deficiency and they want to check it out. Anyway, will there be a problem with me being on this diet? I suspect not but just want to make sure. I have to call today to...

My doctor was great. I didn't have to have anything signed but when I first mentioned to him about my weight it was him who brought up LL. He said that yes he knew people who had done it and then gained it back again but that can happen with any diet if you come off it and then don't change your...

Well done, you look absolutely amazing. You must be so chuffed with yourself and rightly so! I love threads like this, gives me so much inspiration and makes me more determined to get there too. We have very similar stats too so I can look at you and think that's where I want to be!

Morning everyone. I've lost 3lbs this week, so 19lbs this month. Quite pleased with that, was hoping for a wee bit more but I can't do anything more than I am. I've been 100% from the start and never strayed so if the weight isn't coming off I can't make it lol! I lost 3lb this week and last...

Hi all, I keep hearing about glycogen putting weight on when you come off cd but what exactly is it and what are the food groups that would cause it? Is it anything to do with being on a GI diet? Would that help when coming off CD on to "normal" foods?

Yes, my life seems to be taken over by thoughts of CD too. I think about food all the time, like what my first meal will be and how i'm going to be good all week so I can treat myself at the weekend. The weird thing is i've nver hady kind of obsession with food, my weight crept up with stopping...

I've noticed this too. Last week I lost 3lbs, which although is good I was still disappointed with it. I'm more than halfway through my 4th week and from last Sunday I have only lost 1lb! That's almost a week gone by. Very disheartened too, it makes it so much worse than I feel really starving...

Hi, Just wondered if anyone else has had this. I have been 100% SS for about 3 1/2wks now and am doing ok with the weight loss. Recently though I have noticed that I feel pretty shaky, especially if I wake in the night, I feel all shaky as if i've had a few drinks. I also feel the gnawing...

13lb in the first week was wonderful! I bet next week you will have a decent loss too. My little one is really good, hard work but worth it.

Hi everyone, sorry I have been a bit abandoned lately too. I've been mad busy this week with my grans funeral arrangements and my dh has been told he has depression so been trying to hold it together best I can. Grans funeral today, was very gutting but very befitting of her, i'm sure she would...

Hi Kaz, Do I recognise you fro another board at all? I have a 9mth old too, July 08? Anyway, don't give up hun. It could be all the excersise that's causing the slow weight loss, have you measured yourself to see if you are losing inches rather than lbs? I've felt like giving up a few...

Crikey! Wonder if that's been slowing my weight loss down this week too then! Wish my cdc had bothered to tell me it's only 1tsp per day!

I was wondering this too as I like the flavouring quite strong and have been putting a half tsp and more in each pint glass. Will look forward to finding out the answer.

Morning everyone, My cdc is away for 2wks but I weighd myself this morning and i've lost 3lbs this week, was hoping for more but it's totm. I only ever weigh myself on my wii ayway, my cdc just asks me for my weight every week.

Hi, I know it is recommended that you work your way through the different stages but what would happen if I stopped SS (after the weight loss I want) and then went on to a normal healthy diet and gradually worked my own way back up to 2000cals a day? I don't have a bad relationship with food...

Thanks for that both of you, I was going to ask for all 3 lol! Wont be doing that if they are 6 pounds odd though lol! Think I will start off with one and see how I get on.

Thanks Hels and Sonya. It is really hard but she was 86, she went in to the small local hospital with a sore leg about 10wks ago and just went downhill from there on. Think that's hwat gets to me, she went in with a sore leg and ended up in heart failure! The very strange thing is that my...

Hi, My cdc is going on holiday and I wont see him for 2wks after tonight so I have to order 2wks worth of stuff. I want to try the water flavourings as i'm getting fed up with plain water. How much do you all normally pay for it and is there any in particular that are nice?

I have a pair of true religion jeans and a pair of rock and republic jeans hanging on the wardrobe door to keep me focused. They are a size 10 and brand new. I also have some tops and things that are new and size 10 and a wardrobe full of my old 8/10 clothes that I would love to fit in to. Don't...

Well done! You must be so chuffed! We WILL do this!

£60pw!!! That's def the most expensive i've heard of even if it 4 packs a day.

Mines is £36pw with bars but without tetras or £38pw with both no matter how many bars or tetras I take. I'm on 21pw though.

That's great that Craig is being supportive, it makes all the difference. Kevin said he didn't mind cooking his own tea but I wouldn't put him through that, this is the man who doesn't know how to turn the oven on (seriously!). You shouldn't be ashamed, i'm the very same, when I started this I...

That's a shame about the house hunting, even though people are desperate to sell just now it still seems to be a hoopla, my cousin is in the same boat. That's fantasic! You def will have lost 9lb already, I weighed myself every day the first week lol! I lost 1lb the first day and on the 2nd...

Yep he is a man. Not sure if he has alot of male clients but he did say men lose it more quickly than women but when I asked him how quick it would come off after week 1 he said 4-6lbs. I asked him what the average for wk1 was and he said he has had some people lose 14lbs but also some 4lbs but...

Wow Lin, you've lost another 4.5lbs! That's amazing! Do you do lots of excersise too or just the diet? I've been using my powerplate most nights but that's about it, hardly excersise though standing on a plate being jiggled about lol!

Hellooo Mrs! I certainly do know you! How are you and the littlies? As you can guess i'm not very good at hiding who I am with usernames lol, I just say who I am and that's that lol. Any luck with the house hunting yet? Hope youd don't mind me asking on here? When did you start cd? This is...

I don't have my ketostix in yet but this is my tenth day on the diet and I dn't have yukky breath yet, confirmed by my mum and husband lol! Poor souls had to check for me lol! I am really cold all the time and I don't feel hungry though.

That's a good idea, going to give it a try this morning and leave half for later on with the choc bar! Oooh I can't wait, i've been dreaming of coffee and choc lol!

I'm sick of feeling down about myself and not making an effort because I feel i'm not worth it with the way I look. I'm fed up of walking around with my head down embarrassed because I wear crappy clothes and feeling like people are looking at me and laughing at how I look. I hate seeing all...

Aw, you haven't failed! You've had a blip, lets face it we've all had them or will have them at some point. Don't be too hard on yourself, what's done is done and yiou can move on from it now and go for it the cd.

Oh that's good! I quite fancy trying that myself, I really miss my coffee and I can't take it black. Might try a bit of choc tetra as milk in it to go with a bar today! Yum!

That's great Sophie, let us know how you get on at the cdc.

Yep, i'm so peeved off at myself for putting it all on too. I stopped smoking then had 2 babies in 2 years with 2 c-sections but at the end of the day they are all excuses. Plenty of people manage to stop smoking and have babies without putting on weight and I used them as an excuse to keep...

Ah I see, thanks for the answers. My cdc might be being a bit hopeful too with the 4-6lb per week too then eh.

Well done Hels, 5lb is brill you must be chuffed. Hi Kala, welcome, I love your name btw.

That's brilliant! Well done! That's well over a stone in 3wks!

I think your weight loss is fantastic, try not to be too downheartened, you've lost over 2 stones in 6 weeks! That's flaming brilliant going. Well done you and stop beating yourself up, you are doing great.

Hi everyone, This is mostly out of curiousity than anything else. I've lost 8.5lb my first week and cdc says I should now be expecting to lose 4-6lb per week if I stick to ss 100%. What I wondered is if it's possible to lose 7lb per week every week until goal or does that just not happen?

Yeah I think it's normal, mine is £34 without tetras or £38 with tetras and that's regardless of how many tetras I take, I had 14 last week and it made no diff to cost. £37.50 is good as a flate rate.

Morning everyone, had my official weigh in last night for wk1 and i've lost 8.5lbs, pretty chuffed with that although started totm yest so not expecting miracles at next weeks wi. My cdc is going on holiday for a week after next weigh in so I wont have a wi for 2wks then but I have the wii to...

Lol at the tooting!! Thanks for the tip with the ketostix, I wasn't going to other with them but would like some reasurance im in ketosis. I suppose I am as i've lost 8.5lbs 1st week and it's totm but i'd still like some reasurance.

Yeah i've been freezing for about 5/6 days now, no bad breath though or maybe I just don't notice lol, the hunger pains stopped about day 3/4.

Think i'll def be asking for a taster then just to see if I like it before I go and buy it. Think i'll do the same with the bars and wait until next week too (wk3) just to make sure im firmly in ketosis. Ordered some ketostix from a pharmacy on ebay as my cdc never mentioned them so take it he...

Wow! That's amzing, well done you. You must be soooo proud of yourself.

No, but if it's red blood then it will most likely be from the strain of constipation so wouldn't worry about it too much hun. hth

Thanks for that, might ask him about it to see if he will let me try before I buy lol! Yeah with it being only wk2 I def dont want to do anything that could hindeer the losses already as I want to get it off asap.
