Oh dear struggling to update my tracker and signature

I agree with sausagemcmuffin. When I am trying to get back to SS I do day 1, cut out carbs except small portion of potatoes for dinner, from day 2 I tell myself I can have as many of the shakes, tetras and even bars as I want plus any lean pure protein and keep this up until I'm in ketosis which...

Its also worth considering the health impact of consuming a lot of nutrisweet which has been shown to be neuro toxic (in rats I believe) and has been banned in many other countries. Sorry I am full of doom and gloom!! :(

I'm not sure exactly why but there is a strong correlation between diet coke and obesity. It is not understood why I don't think and I think it maybe true to other carbonated drinks but a lot of people appear to develop something of an addiction to diet coke. I'm sure if you can stop at one then...

Hi Sunshine I realise your loss is very similar to mine and I feel it is getting harder. Last week was 810 which I found really difficult. I'm now on 1000 and actually missing sole source! I have my school reunion and I'm just about to go and try some size 14 trousers on and consider whether I...

Hi Everybody - I know I only seem to get on here on WI day but I'm still at it. Hope you're all doing well. I'm thinking of moving up to 810 from SS and wondered if anyone had any tips?

well I had my 5 week weigh in yesterday so it didn't exactly map onto the challenge but I lost another 3llbs which I am happy with. I reckon on a llb every 3 days is my average. My immediate goal is to be under 11 stone by my school reunion on the 13th June! Keep editing signature to include...

hey - I think I missed the boat :( Haven't been on for a while and thought I'd check in to see how everyone was doing because I thought today was the end of the monthly challenge. How did people get on? Do you know the total losses? So now its a new challenge for 5 weeks - I think I'd like to...

Hmmm I'm feeling a bit low too - it seems quite a few of us are thinking we've lost a bit of spark. I wonder if it is just the weather - its been pretty gloomy this week. I felt dreadful and hungry yesterday and ended up having a bar after 2 shakes and a soup. I have just had a bar and a shake...

Hi Louie Lou I don't have 10 stone to lose but hope that you'll find the support here despite how much people have to lose. I take my hat off to you - what a fabulous goal. I find it helps to browse the catalogues and plan what I'll order when I can get into them. Good Luck and I hope you enjoy...

Hi Everybody Love the quote FFBT. I learn so much on here. I'm disapointed to read that there are no eggs on the 810 as eggs are one of the things I really miss on SS. Anyway I have had my 4th weigh in and was astounded to discover that I have managed a stone in 29 days! My waist has shrunk...

Maybe you've picked up a viral infection - there's lots going around. Hope you feel better soon.

Mia I think your losses are great! What other diet would you lose more with? On the bars front I think the dark chocolate orange is by far the best and couldn't stand the peanut or cranberry ones

Hi Everybody I've not been on here for days as I've had really long days at work and fallen asleep as soon as I've sat down. At least that helped keep me 100%. Today is day 28 for me and I realise that I have not had a TOTM in that time. Anyone else had that happen? I have managed to keep off...

That sounds great sunshine, I'm going to see that on Wednesday. My daughter and I were taking profile pictures to see if our profiles are similar (!!!????) and I have a double chin!! But I thought not for long I won't hopefully. Not too tempted to eat really although last night I dreamt I...

well done Lemma

you can use a weight (or a tin o beans) and clasping iit in both hands above your head bend your elbows so that the weight is going behind your head and repeat - I find that much better than the traditional bingo wing exercise - good luck

I think I like all of the shakes and the tomato, the chick and mush and the leek and potato soups. The only thing that was so awful I had to throw it away was the cheese and brocolli.

Hey - has anyone tried this? Homepage | WeightView: Virtual Weight Loss You upload a full length pictue of yourself and it will show you how you'll look 20, 30 or 50llbs slimmer - I'm going to try this tomorrow. :)

But I'm still here - ha!

And night night from me too - we'll all be lighter in the morning :)

Whilst I still have big boobs maybe I should go for the distraction technique. I kind of feel that with a good push up bra nobody even notices the sizw of my bum! lol

Hi FFBT When I feel like I don't want the 3rd shake I have a bar - which then feels like a treat. I am struggling with my thyroid so if you look at my loses I am averaging 0.3llb a day and so in 35 days I reckon I will lose 11-12llbs. It will motivate me to stick to it 100% though.

Day 20 for me and 3rd weigh in - lost 1.4llbs which I was quite pleased with until I got home and found I've been invited to a school reunion in 5 weeks time. Last time they saw me I was a size 10 and 3 and half stone lighter. At this rate the best I can hope for is a size 14 if I'm lucky. I...

Hi Scojos Good luck withsorting things out. If the head refuses to nail this problem then I don't think he can complain if you take matters into your own hands. Children will always find something to pick on other people for but they need to know from an early age that certain behaviours are...

What a great idea ffbt. I'm off to have a soak in the bath before settling down with the apprentice. And Shanny, stick with it its well worth it and you've done the worst bit by the end of day 3 - it gets easier after that I promise

Hi All Thanks for all your support, yesterday I was feeling a bit down about the slowing down of my weight loss but realise that tomorrow is day 20 and even if I've only lost 1.2llbs that makes 10llbs in 20 days which I don't think any other diet can beat. I think I've got into my head that...

Hi Sunshine singer The 810 sounds really appealling although I'm not sure I'll ever get there. I'm still on SS and when I get weighed tomorrow (its only been 5 days since last WI) I think I will only have lost 1llb if that despite sticking to it rigidly. My CDC thinks I may have to forgo the...

OK Sunshinesinger, I've tried that and the bit that scuppers me is that it doesn't give me a browse function anywhere. At least trying occupies my mind. I went to a BBQ earlier and surprisingly found it rather easy to steer clear of both the alcohol and the food - people made fun of me but...

Oh and Lemma I'm with you I cannot download the 'shrinking stones'. I have them saved to my desktop but I can't add them to my signature :(

Hi Thank you for the welcome, fattyfattybumtum. It really helps to know someone else has similar problems. I am in the process of changing over from levothyroxine to the natural thyroid hormone armour and so hopefully that will help. Did your CDC tell you it would be slower with thyroid...

Hi Alan, I'm on day 15 and had my second WI today which was a little disapointing at 2llbs bu then I am hypothyroid and it is really hard to lose and really easy to gain so I'm not complaining. I have about another 2 stone to lose but I'm taking it one at a time :)

Wow Charlotte you look amazing. well done. Thank you for posting your pictures it is really encouraging. :)

Hi everyone, Ive really enjoyed reading your thread. Is it too late to join you in your stone in a month attempt?

i saw it in super drug but it isn't cheap about £15-£20 for a smallish ammount.

Yes thank you curlywurly it certainly motivates me to keep on track.

First weigh in and lost 6.6 llbs - counsellor wanted to round it up to 7 but I'd rather have it as it is so I get the .4 next week when it may be more needed!! Nothing else worked with under active thyroid - I was told even this may be slow but I'm mightily happy with this start!:):):):D:D:D

Hi EllieMellie I'm on day 7 - first weigh in tomorrow. Day 3 was the worst as I remember but stick on in there. The hunger pangs come and go but very soon you'll feel more energetic and alive which really helps. I'm hungry at the moment and going to have half a choc tetra made up with hot water...

Hi I think you answered your own question. I was certainly led to believe that anything at all can knock you out of Ketosis. Apparently some people can manage eating a bit of very lean protein but for others even citric acid in a sugar free squash would knock you out of Ketosis. I have been...

For ages I have always thought that there should be a weight allowance for each individual including their baggage. That way most women would be allowed to take more baggage than men! If we paid excess over a certain weight then it would be a great incentive to lose weight for holiday. But what...

The brocolli and cheese was so awful that it put me off having another soup last night. i had a banana shake which was good. I will try another soup today, the leek and potato.

I saw it with my 14 year old daughter last weekend and absolutely loved it! Made me come home and google all about Radio Caroline, which I don't recommend but other than that it was great.

Brocolli and chees soup both smells and tastes of chemicals and is so unbelievably yucky. Had to pour it away and now need to consider what to have instead.

Hi I'm on day one too! Have had a strawberry shake yum and just about to have brocolli and cheese soup. I was really hungry earlier on but after 2 pints of week nettle tea I feel OK

I've just got to get through day 1 first!

For me it was my GP saying that it would not be possible to lose weight with an underactive thyroid and that I would just have to be careful and expect to gradually get bigger as my metabolic rate was about 800 calories. I shifted all my 10 and 12 clothes out the wardrobe and went to the...

Hi Uggboo - what's up. How's it going? I'm on day one and found myself sniffing pate before putting it on my daughter's toast!

Hi everybody I started 1t 11am this morning and I've had a strawberry shake and half a chocolate tetra brik (had the other half hot last night as had been given as a free sample). I am so so hungry even though I don't think Iwould be normally at this time! I am counting the hours until I can...
