Epic fail this weekend :( Was meant to be going to Devon to visit my family but the snow has put a stop to that and I'm gutted. So did my usual and comfort ate all weekend. I knew what I was doing but didn't care. I really need to work on not using food as a prescription every time something in...

I think I had best just draw a line under yesterday and start again today. It wasn't good :( Although generally food was good I had wine and chocolate so basically undid any good work I did do. Back on track today though!

Lamb mousakka made with leftover lamb from Sunday.

Re: What do you put in your SW quiche? I put in mushrooms, baby corn cobs (cut up), peppers, broccoli, potato cubes and something like salmon. All free on ee and plenty of superfree veg :)

Had quite a nice afternoon. Oh and I went in to town with Gabriella for a mooch round the shops. We went for a coffee and I was very good. Instead of my usual Cafe Caramella I had a skinny cappuccino with sugar free caramel syrup. The milk counted towards one of my HEa's so all good :) For food...

Hi, I'm also doing it from home. I'm on maternity leave so can't really afford class right now. I'm one week in and have lost 5lbs so hoping by coming on here for motivation I can keep up the momentum. Good luck x

So official weigh in this morning and I lost 5lbs this week. Very happy with that as haven't felt deprived at all this week :) Just had a lovely breakfast of 3 w/m toast (69g), tinned mackerel in tomato sauce (of course ;) ), scrambled egg mushrooms and peppers. Used 3 syns on some lurpak...

Ended up with a bit of q change for dinner. Didn't fancy potatoes again so made roasted peppers stuffed with couscous with a hea portion of cheese on top. Very tasty it was too. I've found that I've been quite a bit less hungry today which I'm pleased about. Looking forward to weigh in tomorrow...

Well I did my 1st session on my new allotment this morning. Lots of digging and turning of soil so think 2.5 hours of that counts very well towards my exercise today ;) Food so far has been: B: 3x w/m toast (75g) with a tin of mackerel in tomato sauce and a banana L: 1/2 packet of smash with...

It's going to have to be a low syn day tomorrow as I've gone over :-/ I had 2 yorkshires with my dinner and a sugar free jelly after so looking at 16.5 syns today. I know it's not a huge amount but it's those one or two syns here and there that will soon add up. So tomorrow I'm going to aim to...

Been grotty weather here today so I've only made it as far as Tesco's and back :( Hoping things brighten up so we can take the baby and dogs for a nice Sunday walk. Foodwise I've had the following: B: mackerel in tomato sauce on toast (HEb) + 3 syns for some lurpak lightest. Then pineapple and...

I've had a hungry day today. I've kept to the plan but feel like I've still overdone it because I've pretty much grazed all day. I stuck to the meals as above. In addition I have had - a piece of sw quiche (all free/superfree), - a sw scotch egg that I made today and worked out to be 2 syns...

Hi all. My name is Debbie, I'm 34 years old and became a mum to my gorgeous little girl Gabriella last October. I have always been overweight and have tried loads of different diets over the years. I decided to give Slimming World a go because my sister has had some really good successes on it...

Home made pork burgers with onions and mushrooms in a wholemeal bun (hexb) with salad and sw chips

Made a superfree veg mix last night with onion, garlic, courgette, mushrooms, peppers and a couple of cans of chopped tomatoes for dinner last night. So having leftovers of that with some tuna mixed in with couscous for lunch

Re: whats for lunch Potato, swede and carrot mash with ww sausages, cabbage and a couple of syns of gravy

2x wholemeal toast (hexb) with a can of mackerel fillets in tomato sauce. Banana and clementine to follow. This is my absolute favourite breakfast now yum yum :)

4lbs is fab, well done you! :D

2lbs off for me despite the bean apparently only wanting me to eat chicken dippers :rolleyes: :o ajr2011 - 7lbs (1lbs lost,6lbs to go) anj - 5lbs (1lbs lost 4lbs to go) Aloofasc - 7lbs (2.5lbs lost, 4.5lbs to go) Azwethinkweiz - 4lbs (0.5lbs lost, 3.5lbs to go) Betterforever - 5lbs (1lbs...

I have a weight loss diary but thought it might be nice to have a pregnancy diary here also so have turned this thread in to my diary.... :) I've tried to be a good as possible this week. I have changed my profile on ww online to breast feeding as I have read a few other women have done this...

Oooo I've been a bit slack writing my diary this week, it even slipped on to page 2 of the diaries, must try harder ;) I've lost another 2lbs this week which I'm really pleased about. I've tried to be really good this week especially as I want to be as healthy as possible for the little bean...

2lbs off for me this week which I'm very pleased with. I found out last week that I'm pregnant :D It's only very early yet but I want to keep with ww as long as I can as I still have loads to lose and so can afford to keep with it despite expecting. It may mean though that I can't stay in the...

OOOh that's interesting, I'll have a look. Thanks x

I've been doing ww since Jan 1st and doing really well but I've been eating like a horse this week and got a sts at weigh in on Sun. Now I know why!! I found out this afternoon that I'm pregnant. It's very early yet but I'm can't help but be excited. Oh and I have been together nearly 12 years...

Weeeellllllllll, I've found out why I've been as hungry as a horse this week. I'm pregnant :eek: Very early stages so only tentatively excited at the moment but it does explain my mood and appetite. It's not ideal timing though, I really wanted to get a lot more weight off before getting...

Lol, maybe. I took it to one in Stapleford. To be fair they weren't half as bad as I had feared. It ended up costing £195 which for an X-reg car I thought was pretty good going. Thanks for the support x

Weigh in today and it was STS :rolleyes: Not going to cry over it because all things considered I was lucky to get away with just sts and not a gain this week. I am determined to start afresh now and put the last week behind me. I'll be shopping later today and will make sure there is lots of...

I have not had a good few days. I've been on nights which is always a danger time for me. I have also had quite of a lot of stress this week for various reasons and so have used the fridge to make me feel better. Of course all it's done is made me feel like cr*p :cry: I need to have a word...

That's fantastic. Well Done :happy096: Keep it up and you'll be under 100lbs to lose in no time at all xxx

I've had a couple of difficult days. I've been stressed at work and home and just feeling really hungry a lot of the time so have ended up using all of weeklies already (weigh in day not until Sunday). But I feel like I'm back with it today. I'm no nights for the next 2 so know I wont over eat...

Hi guys, sorry for the late reply, late shift today. To answer your questions, I didn't eat all of my weeklies but I only had 9 left. I didn't eat them all in one go but rather had a few of them 3 nights during the week. Not sure if this made any difference but that's what I did. I don't...

Another 2lbs off this week :) Another 8lbs and I'll be in the 18's so have joined the Feb challenge to get that off before Feb 29th :D

Me too :D I've lost 14lbs this month so far and would love to be in to the 18's by Feb 29th :D Nomes- 3lbs (0lbs lost, 3lbs to go) Sarah88- 6lbs (0lbs lost, 6lbs to go) bugsbunny2000 - 11lbs (0lbs lost, 8lbs to go) Jewel77 - 6lbs (0lbs lost, 6lbs to go) Gizbok. - 6lbs (0lbs lost, 6lbs to go)...

Well done!!! :happy096: I'm probably boring everyone now but OMG I love this diet!! :D 1 stone in 3 weeks without feeling deprived at all....love it, love it, love it :D :D

Now that is a healthy attitude :happy096: Dieting is hard!! Otherwise we would all be the size we want without the need to diet :rolleyes: You have exactly the right approach. You recognise that you ate more than you should have but are prepared to eat right and exercise to pull it back. That is...

copied from a thread I put on general chat... Just because I think it will help me to read this back later... I've done that annoying thing of putting diet in inverted commas...sorry :o I've done it because I honestly believed that I would put weight on this week. In fact, if anyone out there...

I've done that annoying thing of putting diet in inverted commas...sorry :o I've done it because I honestly believed that I would put weight on this week. In fact, if anyone out there reads my diary (can't blame you if you don't), you will know that I have spent this week beating and berating...

Well done poshbird84, clearly a good week for losses!! :D

I can't believe it but I lost 2lbs :eek: :D I know what I said yesterday about hoping for a sts or gain so I can "have a word with myself" but clearly I was doing ok anyway :D I have now decided that I am a weeklies convert. I have felt in the last 3 weeks that eating all my dailies must be bad...

I lost 2lbs :eek: Really was expecting a sts or gain but I have got my stone in just 3 weeks. Can someone pls update the list for me though as my Google Chrome is saying the list is too large for me to copy.......this can only be a good thing though. Good luck on your weigh ins this week xxx

I lost 2lbs making my loss a stone in 3 weeks :eek: I honestly thought I wouldn't lose anything this week. I think I'm a weeklies convert :D

I am a total plank!!!! :mad: Just when I'm starting to get somewhere, what do I do, I sabotage myself. I've been so good all day at work knowing it will pay off on the scale for weigh in tomorrow. I've been looking at a sts all week but this morning I finally showed 0.5lb down. Not a great deal...

I have been a very good girl today and even after having a very filling lunch and dinner with snacks I still have 13pp left for the day. I will eat some of them but TBH I'm happy to have a low point day today since my last 2 days have been high at 61pp and 49pp respectively. I remember reading a...

Hi all, it's through quidco. I didn't put the name as I wasn't sure if the thread would be removed for advertising another website, but I've seen it on another thread. The deal is still on but I think it expires soon. I'm still on track and have lost 12lbs so far. I have gone in to my...

:happy036: Well done!!

Well done Stokegal!!! That's a good loss and in to the 18's too, you must feel proud of yourself :D

Thanks hun. It's funny cos even though I know I can have the weeklies it stills feels like cheating when I go over my dailies. I just hope I get a loss this week but I'm not hopeful though, but we'll see ;)

Well done Stokegal!! Xx

I've had a bit of an off-track day today and gone 19pp in to my weeklies :eek: The car has gone in for it's MOT and service and it looks like it's going to cost us £300+ :( It could have been worse but I got a groupon for the service and MOT so at least that cut the cost a bit. We really have...

Honk for every day since I last honked :)

So I lost 2.5lbs this week despite my Saturday night blow out so I'm really pleased with that. I'm still staying on plan so I'm confident I can get a stone off by the end of January. I'm determined not to look for a quick win this time as that's where I have gone wrong in the past. I've...

Week 2 and I lost another 2.5lbs :D I'm really pleased and spurred on to week 3 Michellethegooner: COMPLETED MrFirth: COMPLETED Jackieb68: COMPLETED Mammacass: 45.5 of 50 lost CarlyLanky140: 33 of 50 lost MrsM79: 30 of 50 lost Blonde_Sue 24.5 of 50 lost NeedsMotivation: 24 of 50 lost Lucylis...

I've lost another 2.5lbs :D I'm surprised as I did have a big blow out last night and used all of my dailies and pretty much all of my weeklies as I hadn't used them during the week. Hopefully it wont catch up on me :rolleyes: But onwards and downwards. I'm geared up for week 3 now ;)

Honk day 14 ( even though I used all of my dailies and weeklies today :o ) I am still within my points for the week :D

I passed my course :D I am really self critical and wasn't sure I had done that well but the feedback I got today was really good and has made me so much more confident. The funny thing is I have absolute confidence in my ability in the live environment but put me in a role play situation and I...

Ok so I'm just going to confess straight away, I failed my first challenge :o I had vodka and diet coke tonight and thoroughly enjoyed it ;) I did point it though and am still well within my points so I'm not going to beat myself up but equally I'm not going to think that it's ok to do this all...

I started a 3 day work course today which was a 9a-4p, a lot nicer than the 7a-5p shift I would have been working today or the 12p-10p shifts I should have been on for the next 2 :D It also makes sticking to the plan a lot easier. We almost ended up with a new pup today. It was found in our...

I am now :D Started at 20st 7.5lbs but lost 9.5 so now in the 19's and going down!!! :scale:

Well done Holly!! Stokegal don't worry you'll do great. It gets said a lot but remember a loss is a loss. Whatever you have managed give yourself a pat on the back. If you have done your best no one can ask any more of you, including yourself xx :D

Honk day 11 (incl 3 on exante) :D

First day back at work today after rest days. Not much to report, it was just work. Foodwise I've been 100% again today. I had warburtons sandwich thin with laughing cow light, ham and scrambled egg for breakfast, leftover chicken stir fry from last night's dinner for lunch and dinner was Tesco...

Jackie, you have done brilliantly but you don't want to go too far and if your leader is saying that you're right to take her advice. Good luck with the fashion show, keep us updated with how it goes ;)

Naughty naughty!! But well done 4lbs already is great :D

I'm a lot heavier than you but I started on Jan 3rd and lost 9.5lbs in my first week. I don't feel deprived at all, in fact, I'm struggling to eat my points every day. As diets go this one is fab!! (and trust me I've tried a few :D ) You'll be fine and the scales will soon be going in the right...

OH loves these and it's now a bit of a weird tradition that he always gets some for his birthday and christmas but never at any other time of year :confused: Best not tell him they are only 2pp each, he gets 53pp a day and that's A LOT of ferrero rocher :D

I've decided I will not drink for the whole of January. Once I get that far I may decide to keep it up until Easter. I haven't given up chocolate altogether but it's not one of my danger foods anyway. Keep it up hun, we'll get there :D

Absolutely! It's still a loss, well done x

Well done Boofle! I took all of our leftover christmas chocs to work on new years day and let the gannets have them :D My victory is that I have now gone 10 days without an alcoholic drink. Perhaps not a big deal to many but it is for me :rolleyes:

Not too much to say today. We took the dogs for a lovely walk in the sunshine. I made bacon, egg and mushrooms for breakfast, weight watchers salmon, broccoli and wedges ready meal for lunch which, although small, was lovely and surprisingly filling. Dinner was chicken stir fry with banana...

You really seem to be on track with the diet, well done! Looking forward to the results of your WI xx

6 is a great loss, well done!! Xx

Bless you, know exactly what you mean. I put on 3 stone on the contraceptive injection and was always hungry. I came off about 2 years ago and have never lost the weight, in fact but on another 3 :( xxx

A great attitude! It's a cliche but so true, this is a marathon not a sprint, it takes time to successfully lose weight and change ingrained behaviours. We'll get there and there is no point beating yourself up whenever you hit a bump in the road. Good luck xx

Just read through your diary Carly. You are doing brilliantly especially with pressure of the job situation and your exam. Why are you angry with yourself about a 2lb loss :confused: That's a good loss especially when you lost 7lbs last week. Well done you!!

Perhaps you should try a more protein packed breakfast. I find with cereal that I spend a lot of points only to find I'm starving an hour later. Scrambled eggs, mushrooms and extra trimmed bacon and I'm set until lunch. Just a thought xx

I've not watched this week's yet but thought last week's was brilliant. Julie did amazingly well....of course any amount of work would be worth getting a cuddle from Jesse ;) :rolleyes:

I'm sure you'll do great! To be fair I do have an awful lot to lose so my first week was bound to be high ;)

My car was meant ti be getting it's MOT and service today but got to the garage and the ramp was broken so they couldn't do it. This is a bit of a problem as it needs doing and I'm back to work on Weds. Oh well, sure I'll think of something :rolleyes: So anyway, as we had the car unexpectedly...

I weigh every day even though I tell myself every day that I wont weigh tomorrow :o I know I shouldn't but I just can't help myself

I lost 9.5lbs for my first week which I was just :eek: at but very :D Loving pro points ;)

Well done both of you, great losses :D

It probably is down to dropping the junk I would have thought. Even without trying you will have cut out a lot of sugar and carbs just by cutting the junk. You'll start feeling better soon.

Thanks for the recipes, let us know anymore you have. I also don't use mine nearly enough which is daft as a shift worker cos it makes life so much easier.

Welcome and good luck. WW is great for learning portion control. I too had trouble on sw with knowing how much was too much and so didn't lose much weight at all.

Have you reduced your carb intake by a lot? I usually get those symptoms when I've had a big blow out of carbs for a few weeks then reduced them right down.

I'm afraid I'm dropping out. I've moved to ww, exante just wasn't working for me. I've had a really good first week weigh in though after 3 days exante and 4 of WW I've lost 9.5lbs so may make that 14lbs yet ;) Good luck everyone xx

Day 4 honk for me....dare I say I'm in the zone :D

Thanks Sarah, 3pp is still a bit of a bargain :D

Another 100% day today. I have to confess to being a bit naughty and missing breakfast this morning. I had a couple of cups of tea when I got up and ended up forgetting to eat. I went to Asda and stocked up on lots of fruit and veg as well as some treats like quavers and skinny cow ice creams...

Fantastic!! Looks like it's going to be a good week for losses :D

Skinny cow caramel shortcake lolly: per 100g: carbs 24.5 protein 3.6 fat 2.9 fibre 4.6 lolly is 100ml, weighs 63g I work it out as 2pp but this seems way too low to me? Can someone help please?

Thanks guys. I am really pleased with the loss. To be fair I did do nearly 2 days on exante at the beginning of the week so that may have contributed to some of the loss. Other than that I have been walking the dogs rather than simply strolling round a field throwing a ball for them. I have...

I've lost 9.5lbs!! :eek: :D I'm so pleased with myself and really spurred on for next week. I've lost a point but I'm not bothered as I've been struggling to eat all of them anyway. I'll update a bit more later but I just wanted to record on my diary how utterly thrilled I am right now :D

-9.5lbs!!! :eek: I can't believe it :D I was hoping for 6 maybe 7 in my first week but 9.5??!! I'm thrilled and totally spurred on fro this coming week. Thanks for the support this week guys xx

I can totally relate to that. I have always been big but in 2008 I decided to do something about it determined that at 17st I was NEVER going to be that big again. After spending the last 4 years messing about on SW, LT, Exante to name but a few I am now 3.5 stones heavier. If I had just picked...

Finished work a bit early last night and so was in bed for 0500 instead of 0800, much more civilised :D So I was up for 1100 and took Maisie my Labrador out for a walk. Got back and had scrambled egg on nimble toast with a bit of spread and ketchup for a bargain of 9pp. Having steak with BNS...

Hi Carly, can I join pls? I'm following the plan online rather than meetings so a weekly weigh in here will help me stay on track

Honk :-D Day 2 for WW though on exante for 3 days before that

Jo that's incredible. I have read some of your diary and you have done so well. That is the inspiration I am looking for :D Well I am doing very well I think. I was working nights last night and as usual it was someone's brother's dog's birthday so cakes just HAD to be brought in :rolleyes...

121lbs that's amazing, well done. I will definitely look up your diary for motivation. Can I ask how long it took you pls and was it all with WW? Thank you for the support x

I have decided to write a diary simply because I have never written one before and wonder if perhaps this will help me to stay on track this time. I am 33 yrs old and currently weight 20st 7.5lbs :cry: I cannot believe that I am so heavy and feel so embarrassed. I am uncomfortable in my own...

I started the week on Exante but decided I am just not cut out for starvation :rolleyes: So having found the excellent deal through that website I joined WW online this morning for the bargain price of £2.95 for 3 months ;) . So far today I have had a ham and spinach omelette for breakfast and a...

I'm on TOTM (not the best time to start this diet in hindsight :o ) and yesterday evening I got home and KNEW I had to eat something. I had a very low carb meal of tinned salmon and broccoli and I REFUSE to feel guilty about it!! The reason is that in the past I would have thought "right...

In the meantime, when I don't have a shaker or whisk I use a fork and beat the shake like I would an egg. Not ideal but works better than a spoon.

Weight watchers online is totally worth it at the moment. I joined a few days and it cost £29.85 for 3 months as they have a special offer on and then I have tracked £30 cashback through Quidco so I actually have 3 months online membership and a profit of 15p :D:D:D

I'm 32

Can someone check my pp's please? I've joined online and it says I can have 42 pp's. This seems a bit high to me. I'm 273.5lbs and 5' 7". Many thanks

I did not know this I thought men were meant to have 4. 600 kcals a day for a man seems a bit low. I wont tell DBF this though as he'll panic thinking he's done it wrong ;)

Can I just ask if your post is right and he is having 3 shakes a day. As a man he should be having 4 a day. His body may well be in famine mode because he's not getting enough calories. My DBF is on TS and lost 10.5lbs last week.

Thanks folks, I know I should be more pleased and that half a stone in a week in a good loss. I think I was hoping to get under the 100lbs left to lose mark. It just feels like such a drop in the ocean of what I need to lose. I'm sure I will feel better later, it's certainly not going to let it...

As per starlight's request here are a couple of things I have tried this week. Crustless quiche: In a flan dish space out your ingredients (for mine it was king prawns, flaked salmon fillet and wilted spinach) Pour over enough beaten egg to just cover the ingredients (my dish is 21" and it...

Hi, yes I have done SW before and intend that to be my ongoing diet after finishing with Exante. I'm not sure if we can use quark as it's made from skimmed milk and milk is quite carby. I'll check the next time I'm in the supermarket

:rolleyes: 7lbs off this week. I know I should be pleased but I know I would have lost so much more if I had stuck out TS. Don't get me wrong I know I am more suited to WS but I can't help but feel a bit disappointed.

Crustless quiche: In a flan dish space out your ingredients (for mine it was king prawns, flaked salmon fillet and wilted spinach) Pour over enough beaten egg to just cover the ingredients (my dish is 21" and it took 7 eggs. I beat these with a little double cream as I dont want milk due to...

I did TS for my fist 4 days and then moved to WS night before last. So far I have made a crustless quiche with king prawns, salmon and spinach which was lovely and very filling. Last night I had chicken breast with a slice of ww bacon on top with celeriac chips, yummy. I POAS this morning and I...

I have to give a MASSIVE shout out to Marc my partner. He has been on TS for 8 days while I only lasted 4 days before I started WS because I couldn't hack it!!! We are not esp religious (practice but don't attend church IYKWIM) but shrove Tuesday is probably his fav religious festival for no...

Thanks for replying Hannata. I've been reading your diary and hadn't noticed that about our sw/gw ;) I made a crustless quiche with salmon, king prawns and spinach for tea tonight and it was lush :p I was up for work at 0500 this morning so was ready to eat my own arm by the time I got home...

I have managed 3.5 days on TS and think I am just about in ketosis based on me not waking up hungry this morning. However, I got to this afternoon and got hungry and then the cravings took hold. Rather than risk a binge attack I made myself an omlette and had this with some tinned salmon (the...

Just as a warning I bought a couple of the BL breakfast fruit and nut bars yesterday. Thankfully I looked at the back as they actually have a far higher amount of carbs and sugar than the other bars, more than enough to kick me out of ketosis so they have been banished to the back of the cupboard :o

They have chocolate crisp and raspberry crisp. I haven't tried one yet but they look nice. I also picked up a couple of BL bars as they are on offer for £1.50 each and had one today. I had the choc crunch one tonight and it was actually quite tasty. A bit on the expensive side but I think I'm...

Honk! for day 3 of 3 :D

Ooops just read Starlights reminder about not mentioning cheats.I hope my post hasn't breached that. Sorry if it has :o

I'm with Divster. I have unsweetened soya milk and whilst it doesn't taste exactly like milk it's a very good alternative. There are also only 0.1g carbs and nil sugars per 100mls. I'm on day 3 and took a sneak peak this morning and have lost 6lbs so far so obviously not affecting losses :D

I bought some apple and blackcurrant water flavouring from their website. Not a fan of the choc shake but tried adding a bit of the water flavouring this morning and it was delish :p Felt like a bit of a treat TBH :D

Hi I can also really relate to your post. I have started and re-started so many diets that I even bore myself when I hear me saying I'm starting another one. But this time I feel different. In the past I have tried losing weight for a holiday or to be able to feel better and none of these...

I looked at the carbs in skimmed milk and I personally didn't want to risk it. I now use alpro unsweetened soya milk. It takes a little getting used to but only a little and it makes the diet totally bearable and it has virtually no carbs which could affect losses (0.1g per 100ml)

If anyone is interested in trying these Tesco are currently selling their meal replacement bars at £2.38 for a pack of 3 or 2 packs of 3 for £3.50. Bit of a bargain so I picked some up today.

I bought some apple and blackcurrant flavouring from a website and it arrived yesterday. Once you get passed the sherberty flavour it's actually really nice, very apply :)

Sorry folks removing the perfectly clear red apple sparkling water. Looked again and there is a little citric acid in it, it's further down the list than a lot of drinks but it is there :( Rule of thumb when it comes to soft drinks is anything with NO citric acid... and, so it would seem...

I'm another who is trying to conceive. I'm 32 years old and I'm not getting any younger. Added to the fact that I'm vastly overweight and it's a recipe for disaster really. I grew up with my mum having an unhealthy relationship with food which I have certainly inherited. I really want to sort...

Asda sell Perfectly Clear red apple sparkling water and this has Malic acid in it. 95p a bottle

:D I know what you mean about trips to the loo. The way I see it I don't have a downstairs loo so have to climb the stairs each time I go which will burn off more cals ;)

Hi, so glad your first day went so well. I'm on day 3 today and going well so far. I was so close to breaking last night but I managed to resist and had a tomato and basil soup instead. These are surprisingly nice and I'm really looking forward to having another one today. I have a lot to...

New starter something went wrong with my title :confused:

Hi all, is anyone here on the working solution diet? I'm starting in January and wondered what sort of losses I can expect. I want to follow more like the Cambridge 810 with 3 shakes, a 200 calorie meal of protein and green veg and a small amount of skimmed milk per day for tea (which I cannot...

Thanks for such a quick response KD. In tht case I'm going to contact my local cdc :D

Hi, I was wondering if I would be allowed to do the 810 diet rather than the ss even though I have loads to lose? I have tried lipotrim a few times and know that ss will not work for me. I need to be able to eat something even just a bit of chicken and green veg. Will a cdc allow me to just do...

Hi all, I've never done CD before but have done lipotrim before. After many failed attempts I have decided that a completely non-food diets are not for me. I'm fine during the day but need to eat something in the evening because it's too hard to see and smell my BF's food and not have anything...

Thank you everyone for your posts last night. I did have an early night and slept like a log...so much so that I was nearly an hour late for work this morning....ooops ;) I feel much better this morning. My colleague next to me had bacon and eggs for breakfast from the canteen and I thought it...

So it's day 4 but was my first day back at work today so have really been struggling a bit. I'm hungry and I have a headache and everywhee I looked today people seemed to be eating...AARRRGGGHHHH!! I guess the good thing is that while I am fantasising a bit about chicken right now I KNOW I am...

Hi all. I'm back again after trying to re-start in May and failing miserably. I have a secret weapon this time though, I have recruited the other half to join me and we both started yesterday. He wont need to stay on it as long as me but it will be nice to have a few weeks of not having food in...

Hi guys, well after a not as successful as I had hoped June I would really like to try and get a bit more off this month so I'm going for 7lbs. Good luck everyone :D July Challenge IreneH - 7 lbs vodaka999 - 7 lbs *saski* - 8 lbs Jax123 - 7 lbs RecoveringChocoholic - 6 lbs MummyEm - 7 lbs...

Last day of June so final weigh-in and I have gained 3lbs. I'm gutted but not really surprised I really have been naughty this last week :cry: So I haven't completed my challenge but tomorrow is another month so if anyone is thinking of starting a July challenge I'm in. Well done everyone...

No loss for me this week :cry: Trying not to le it get me down but not having a good weekend. I will do my best to ge back on track from tomorrow and hopefully will complete my challenge this week. Congats everyone else who has lost this week. Well done and keep up the good work. xx

Well done recoveringchocoholic. You're losses are fantastic, you must be made up!! Madferret, good luck with CD and hope yo keep us updated on your progress. :D;)

I did wonder at that Irene since your weigh-in is Monday. Not to worry though. You've done so well so far it's bound to catch up with you some time where you stay the same for a couple of weeks. I'm sure you'll be seeing a loss again on Monday. Good Luck x

Thanks Claire and Irene. I was a bit shocked tbh that it was so much in the second week but I feel really spurred on for next week now. :p:p:p

Morning all. I've lost another 5.25lbs this weeks making a total of 9lbs so far. I'm soooooo pleased!! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D IreneH - 7lbs KittyB - 10lbs Fuzzyzella - 7lbs MommyB - 8 lbs Lumpyroo - 7lbs Rach - 7lbs (5lbs lost) Aaleigha -6lbs (SW 183) Debs78 - 10lbs (9lbs lost) Galaxy Defender-...

What a fantastic loss!! Well done, bring on next week :happy096:

Thank you for your encouraging replies this week and well done on your losses. We're all well on track to complete the June challenge. (sorry I didn't post sooner but have been away from my pc for a few days) :D:D:D:D:D

Thanks Saski, when you put it like that I know I should be happier. I think if it had been a round 4lbs I probably would have felt better as daft as that sounds. Like I said it is a loss at the end of the day and I have to get used to not having upwards of 12lbs loss in one week like I had on...

Evening all! I weighed in this morning and lost 3.75lbs. I'm actually a little disappointed as this was my first weigh-in but keep telling myself it's still a loss and it is totm. IreneH - 7lbs KittyB - 10lbs Fuzzyzella - 7lbs MommyB - 8 lbs Lumpyroo - 7lbs Rach - 7lbs Aaleigha -6lbs (SW 183)...

Hi and good luck with your weight watchers journey. I have also come to the ww side after messing about with lipotrim for while and then it all creeping back on and then some. Looking at your profile we have similar amounts of weight to lose so we'll just have to stick with it and do it...

Hi. Have you thought about swimming? I know we often don't feel up to putting on a swim suit when we are feeling rubbish about ourselves but in your case you have a short term goal which can help to get you over the initial nerves. Swimmng is excellent for toning up and should help you reach...

Thanks all for your welcomes. I'm feeling really positive and motivated at the moment, helped not least by the gorgeous weather we are having, really gives you that get up and go feeling. First day yesterday went well. I ate all of my 27 points and didn't feel too hungry at all which was a...

Morning all. I have been messing about with lipotrim for quite a while now and have found myself heavier than when I started. I was contemplating going back on it but then read a thread on another forum from a woman who has done cambridge in the past who basically said that she did the diet...

Hi, I'm new and just started WW today. Would it be ok if I joined your challenge please? If so put me down for 10lbs please. Oh and hi everyone. You will see from my profile that I am going to be here for a while so looking forward to getting to know you all. Debs x

I weighed myself JUST before going for my first weigh in and was 5lbs lighter than the chemist's scales. I'm thinking this is some sort of conspiracy to make us think we are heavier than we are and thus stay on the diet longer.......although at 19st I'm guessing I probably would have to stay on...

Thank you for your replies. We're not going abroad just a week in Dorset so I'm not too worried. I'll still take my shakes with me and I'm pretty confident I can keep at while away. ;) Thanks again

Louise, I hope you don't mind me directing this to you but I noticed on your signiture that you didn't have a weigh in for 2 weeks cos of hols and then had a 12lb loss the following week. Did you stick to the diet religiously while you were away? I only ask because we are away in 2 weeks time...

Thank you everyone for your messages. It really helps to know there are people who have been where I am now and are having such good losses. It makes me realise the only person stopping me would be me. :)

Thank you for those words Floridagirl. I've just come back from my first weigh in and am feeling pretty down about it but that has really given me a boost to get through the hard times because it will so be worth it when I can walk in to any high street shop and pick out what I like not just...

Hi Emma, this is my first week as well having started yesterday. Good luck. I'm sure when we see our first week results it will be worth just a few days of discmfort

Morning all. I started LT for the second time yesterday with some packs I had left over from last year but today was my first official weigh in. 19 stone 1lb!!!!!!!!! :mad:. I feel so angry with myself for letting this happen again. It's the heaviest I have ever been and I really feel like I've...

Good on you for sticking with it, you sound like you have had a bit of a rubbish week to say the least but you're still here and that deserves a great big pat on the back :party0011: Good luck with your weigh in tomorrow x

WOW I hope I do as well as you. You must be very proud of yourself. Well Done!!!! :happy096:

Daily for me too I'm afraid. I have now put the scales in the kitchen. It means I can't weigh myself every time I have so much as a wee to see if it made a difference. :D

Thanks all for the welcome. I will def get a ticker up and running tomorrow after my first official weigh in. Not looking forward to it but at least I know I have started to do something about it. :rolleyes:

Hi and good luck to you too. You are obviously doing well so far. I keep reading that it is so much more difficult the second time around so I'm a bit worried. I lurked on this site last time but didn't post so I don't think I got the full use of all the support that people obviously give...

:rolleyes: Hi all, this is my second time doing LT. I managed a few weeks last year and lost 2st (nowhere near target) but then thought I could lose the rest with healthy eating. Surprise surprise I'm here a year later having put it all back on and more. I have a VERY long way to go and it...
