Well i think i may have lost my way slightly. Background is lost 5 n half stone on CD and feeling great!!:flirt2: Got to my goal of 11,3 and then it all went a bit pearshaped!! Worked up to 1200 plan but kept gaining odd pounds so dropped back to 810 to loose them which i did. BMI 25 now so...

Hey newcastlechick - your journey sounds bit like mine - lost just over 5 n half stones, and about the same weight n height as you. I am happy with where i am now, about a size 12 / 14. This exceeded my wildest imagination as to what i would be when i started. This diest has been the best thing...

I had a monumental fall off this weekend as well - but i had good reason as it was my 1st wedding annivesary. I had planned to come off plan as we were staying in a five star hotel in the lakes and i knew i wasn't going to be sitting with a cranberry bar!! We had an amazing time and i...

well i have symapthy for you n the constipation issues. When i did ss it was hell. I used to dread the once a week visit to the loo. I used to be nearly crying with the pain:cry: but i felt that dulcolax helped for me. Now i know lots of people say these are too strong for ss but it was the...

Just had to big myself up - Got weighed last night and at my goal 11stone 3lbs!! Yippeeeeee:angel09:Lost 7lbs in the last 2 weeks on 810. Never in a million years thought i would get to this point. I always said when i started this journey i would be happy at a size 14 / 16 but now i am in 12...

My motivation...... 1. To look in the mirror or catch my reflection and think "damn i do look good, don't i" (this has taken 29 years to do!LOL) 2. Have a baby and be at a healthy weight when i start 3. Compliments from people who would usually never notice if you lost one of your ears!! men...

i was averaging approx 2 - 4lbs on 810 weeks. I liked the idea of a 'meal' at nights and this helped my mood dramatically!! I've dropped back down to 810 after moving up plans just to loose a few more pounds before maintenance. I have lost 5 n half stone so far so just a couple lbs to go...

can deffo identify with this! mines all wobbly and soft. when i lie on my side and look down (yakk) it looks like a melted candle! hoping this will tighten up eventually! Feel like i could poke my finger in my belly and it would possibly get lost!! LOL

Know what you mean about backward losses! LOL:cry: I'm doing 810 at the moment after dropping down to shift a few lbs. Been having approx 4 ltrs a day. Except saturdays when i always seem to struggle?! Is it still important to drink your allowance even when moving up from SS? will it still...

This sounds like a great plan!! I'm doing 1000 at the moment after losing 5 n half stone and am staying still at the mo. I did put on a couple of lbs when i moved up to 1000 but i have decdied that i am going to go by how my clothes feel and how i feel in myself. If i fluctuate with a few pounds...

well i havn't been on here since last week. Had a good week i think. Been sticking to my 1000 plan. Went to the gym three times last week. Got weighed on Sunday on scales at the gym and said 11,9 so that was a loss from the wednesday wi. Also measured my body fat reading (which i thought would...

my stomach!:cry: Made a comment to hubby that it looks like i was made of candle wax and its gradually melting!! worse when i bend forward and i look down its like another set of boobs hanging there!! eeewww. If i could pull it round the back and stretch it out i think it would be better LOL:p...

well got weighed on Monday night and had put on a lb :cry:- which is what i expected after Saturday night. Its not an every week occurance so i can deal with that but then had a crisis where i thought if i keep putting a pound on here and there its all going to go on!! My counsellor said that...

Thanks curly - i just feel so despondant when those scales go up. I hadn't thought of eating the carbs during the day rather than at night - will try that. Big H - i go to the gym twice a week at the moment and usually do a aerobic class twice as well. At the gym i use treadmill, crosstrainer...

:wave_cry: Well background is i started in december 08 at 17 n half stones and in July 09 i hit 11 n half!! Feel absolutly brilliant about myself and so very proud. I started to work up the plans, 810 then 1000cal then 1200 cal. As i started to introduce more carbs i put on a few pounds (one...

Hello greeneyes Not looking forward to tonights weigh in - feeling sick already!! Had a really nice night on saturday but what didn't help was the fact one of the friends i was going out with just blurted out she was pregnant (only early days) and she seemed pretty miserable about...

well drank loads of water (about 4 n half litres) on saturday as going for my indian meal - had a really good night. Had chicken Sag for main, bout half a peshwari naan and some mushroom pilau. Stopped when i felt full so quite pleased with myself. Then went out and had a drink!! 3 vodka, lime...

Thanks Julie! I know husband says if i keep stressing over it it won't happen so just going to enjoy the practice!! hehe:p I'm a proper stresshead though and things always play on my mind, feel sorry for my hubby as i hate being mardy with him. Luckily he just ignores my moods - usually myself i...

Hiya I am currently on 1000 and have been doing about 3 hours a week in the gym (two hour n half sessions) and 2 aerobic classes, although they have stopped for summer hols. I do about 35 mins on cardio (treadmill on a gradiant, rower machine, eliptical trainer and cross trainer) then...

Hiya everyone Well my weekend went ok. Stuck to my plan and my only blip was a glass of rose and low cal lemonade yesterday with sunday lunch! TUT TUT Drank loads of water to try and compensate but i did stop at one glass and the rest went to husband. so i think i am getting the hang of this...

Thanks Mini - going to email my counsellor now with a little order and will get her to come round tonight. Rang my doctors as well and a practice nurse is going to ring me later to have a chat. xx

Monday morning and got that blue feeling. Not had a good weekend, don't really know whats up with me.:sigh: Feeling very weepy n all emotional. Poor husband is cowering thinking it is something he has done but when he asks me i just start blubbing!!:cry: Doesn't help that i am three weeks late...

Hiya everyone!! Saturdays.... at work boooo not that you would know as i am on here already and only been in 28 mins!! Last night was ok, had my salmon and couscous with salad. Wrote my menu out for today and shopping list as grocery shopping after work. Today goes like this..... Brekkie...

Thanks Julie! x

I equate it to 'if i drink a lot, i wee a lot'! As long as there is something being produced and coming out, not stinging (sorry TMI) i think for me it is ok. I imagine when i wee the fat coming out - don't think this is the case but it helps me to drink all my water LOL As long as you spread...

Thanks Greeneyes! I know also have collar bones and when im lying in bed can feel my knees and ankles actually touching? weird concept! I don't know why i did not think about splitting the packets as i have seen this done before.... i prefer lots of little meals instead of big main ones...

I am so sorry for your loss!! :(

Thanks for your post.... I have been going to the gym for about two months now, twice a week for about an hour n half each time. I can defintly see a definition in my arms now and my shape is changing. Actually have collarbones!! :rolleyes:and also my hubby said last night when were lying on the...

well went to the gym last night - 35mins of cardio and then weights to (try) and tone:whacky068: 4 n half ltrs water stuck to my plan yesterday as i wrote. Had a bit of a rethink for today and see how this sounds...... Brekkie 1 poached egg on granary toast with scraping of low fat spread...

I had this problem when i was using dulcolax. They did the job they were meant to but i know about the cramps! Felt like passing glass, square marbles!! TMI sorry But once i started on SS+ and then moving up the plans it got better, must be the fruit, and i had to use the sennakot for a week or...

Have you got a cat?? give them a treat!! haha xx

Know exactly this feeling! as soon as you loose weight and clothes start getting loose - i personally - get a bit complacent and think ooh you have done so well have a little treat! OMG Noooooo!! I must have been lucky as i did probably pick when doing SS but never had a major binge and have...

Thanks dreamingmaid - yeah i was thinking about that apple but it really helps me get through the morning - does that sound mad?? Maybe i will have to take that out orrrr could have the 100 strawberries as a 'snack' mid morning and then have the rasps in the evening. ALso will check what melon...

Well i have been looking through all these diaries and keep thinking why don't i do this.... well i have done it. My background is started CD in Dec 08 had a couple of weeks off at Christmas and in July 09 did my 5 n half stone GONE FOREVER!!:bliss: I got married in September 2008 and i did...

Can anyone tell me how much tuna i can have when for the lunch option it is a tuna and sweetcorn pitta bread?? Also for breakfast option it says a 250ml pure fruit smoothie - does this mean a shop bought one or one made up at home in blender with 250ml of liquid (yogurt or milk?) ...

Can we make our own homemade soup for lunchtimes? I know on the 1200 (?) you can have a low cal cup a soup (70 cals) but to me they are a bit no descript! Could you make say a tomato soup - basically just tomatos and a bit of flavouring - no salt tho? I have seen quite a lot of low cal soup...

Tried my new scales out this morning and now realise my old ones were way out! I must have just been lucky i wasn't putting on weight. These are so easy and i am still feeling full after my museli in the morning. xxx

I love the quorn pieces - my fave meal on 1000 is as follows..... quorn pieces - actually quite a lot when you weigh them out! put in frying pan with touch of water and shake of curry powder or spices boil very gently just topping up with water so it does not burn for about 10 / 15 mins...

I just got some from ebay for £9.99 free postage. The website address for them direct (which are the same price) is www.xs-stock.co.uk I ordered before 12 on one day and they were with me next day - pretty good!! Think you just put items direct on top or in a bowl (zeroing it before you...

think i better check this now - panicing!!! have just bought myself some digital scales off ebay as i have old regular ones which i still know work but am now a bit worried. Thanks both xxx

On the 1000 plan you can have - it says - 40g of cous cous (dry). I weighed this out last night to have with my tuna steaks and it seemed to make loooaaadddss!! I only eat about half if that of it and was full. Going to have the rest tonight probably. Is this weight right as it just seemed a...

Just sent my wedding ring to get made 2 sizes smaller - havn't been able to wear it for a few months now so been wearing it on a chain round my neck. My eternity ring and engagement ring are also too big but not getting them changed as can wear them on other fingers but want my wedding ring...

I was watching embarrasing teenage bodies on Channel 4 last night and there was a 19 year old girl who had had a baby and her tummy was like a deflated balloon. Mine looks like this now after loosing just under 8 stone. I'm thinking when i have a baby my belly has been stretched already! LOL...

nursery

Well got weighed last night and stayed the same which i was happy with as i am trying to maintain what i have lost. If i loose another few pounds i will be happy but if not its no biggy. I said to my counsellor i may have overdone the fruit situation - turned into a bit of a fruit bat!! LOL so...

thinking

Been on 1000 plan since monday - finding it not too bad. I have actually been surprised how much you can have when you weigh things out. I had new potatoes and white fish last night.when i weighed the potatoes out there must have been about 10 potatoes (little ones granted) i didn't eat all of...

LMAO - just picked myself on floor..... cat craps!??! scarily enough i know what you mean:sigh:

Beware the Dulcolax as vvv powerful - does the job but don't venture too far from the loo usually took 8 hours for it to work with me but suppose everyone will be different. I know use the natural senna tabs as they seem to work now as they didn't in the beginning. Good luck!

Yes it was me :cry:sorry - had a blonde moment - can i still play?? tunnel

bone

thanks for the encouragement - its quite a scary prospect moving up to eating 'normal' foods and these bars and shakes are like security blankets. Well off to aerobics class tonight and gym tomorrow so onward and upwards! LOL

Hiya spoke to my counsellor last night and she said to move up to 1000cal plan for a week then next one up. Also told me to start taking some vitamins (A-Z type) and if (and when) i do get pregnant she can still give me one CD product allowance a day as a supplement. So 1st day of that plan...

Thanks Julie, think i will mention that tonight to my counsellor see what she suggests. I know it could take a while for me to get pregnant so i don't want to be piling weight on before the event! Been going to the gym as well so that should be burning some weight of as well! Good luck with...

think i am right posting on here.... lost 5 stone 3lbs and am now at my goal. BMI 25 and have had two weeks adding a protein / veg meal in the evenings. After 1st week put a 1lb on - now my counsellor said don't panic as i had lost 8lbs previous and it was also TOTM but it makes me feel so...

Thanks Nibbles, thats been really helpful!! :p

I have lost 5 n half stone on CD since January and am now starting to introduce food. Just started this week as i've reached my goal. I want to start trying to get pregnant but am worried if i start now and get pregnant, obviously i won't know for a few weeks and therefore will my one shake...

Thats brilliant - you must be so proud of yourself - Well Done!!! xx

I suffer with this as well:mad: I started using the Dulcolax tablets - and BOY OH BOY - they did the trick - slightly unpredictable tho so you can't stray far from the loo. I didn't like having to rely on these all the time as they are quite powerful. The siuation improved slightly when i...

"Better out than in" - is what my mum used to say - (as long as your not in public i suppose)LOL Come to think of it both the cranberry and peanut bars have that effect on me. I have one a day at the moment.

I do exercise to music classes twice a week (1 hour each) and try to walk at lunchtimes and weekends (weather permitting). I think it has improved my cardio fitness as i deffo don't get out of breath as easy now. I am thinking of now going to the gym to focus on toning certain bits - thighs...

I've just gone back onto shakes and bars only for a couple of weeks after losing 4 n half stone. On 2nd day so got bit of headache and feeling bit light headed if i move fast (not like me really!) I go to an hour exercise class to music twice a week. bit of jumping up and down, stretching...

When i had lost about 2 stone someone asked what i was doing and when i told them she said "oh well i'm doing it the hard way" (weightwatchers)! I thought you call not eating any morsels of food for 12 weeks NOT HARD LADY??? I could have quite cheerfully said that but i didn't even bother with...

LOL! Think we all have the little fat devil and the skinny angel on our shoulders! I have used the excuse, well if i go and have a long walk i can then have those haribos - don't think it works like that does it?!! same thing happened last night looking at a slice of pizza -one bit of the...

Hey Thanks for all the words of support! Did 100% yesterday (sure my trousers feel looser today :p)- felt so proud of myself. Hubby had left a packet of Haribo sweets on the kitchen counter and i literaly had to say to myself no you can't have just one when the little voice in my head was saying...

Hiya everyone:rolleyes: Well i have about stone n half to get to my 'ideal' weight. I always said when i started i wanted to be a 14 / 16 which is what i am now but i think that if i stop cd and just eat sensibly i'm a failure and have given up - isn't your mind a funny thing! i know i feel...

I work for a window company and what i say is if they can start at 17k and come down to 5k they are full of it and i would suggest sticking to local firms rather than national companies as in my past experince it is eaiser to get local tradesman to come back if there are any problems rather than...

Starting again Hiya everyone Had a couple of weeks not loosing and even put on a 2lbs so am now going back to shakes & bars only. Loads of water as well. I started in November 08 and have already lost 4 n half stone but had started eating salads and chcken for evening meal but i think i was...
