I've just sold all my Size 16 and Size 14 clothes on ebay - No going back now!!!

Thanks Karen - I shall keep posting! Well done on another 3 pounds you must be so delighted with the progress you've made. Fingers crossed for mini goal I bet you can do it.

Hi Karen How have you managed to get such a long signature? - everytime I go to update mine it says no more than 250 characters and won't let me add anything

Hi All Been a bit quiet lately as I've been away with the new man - am sooo loved up and completely lost my appetite. Stuck to diet principles and avoided bread and potatoes etc so no damage done while away. I'm hopeful I may still have lost weight this week. Have pretty much stopped eating...

It's blinking Fab Woof - Makes it all worth while!!!!! Jay

Hey all How are you all doing? Looks like we all have little blips here and there - but I think as long as you see it as a small blip and jump back into "being good" as soon as you can you can recover. For me I see this as really a chance to adopt a healthier eating regime so I'm not worrying...

Hi BB - Dont worry about falling off the wagon - I think we all have to step out a little - The salami sounds nice -Is it special stuff or can we eat any salami? Jay

Where are you off to Marrion? I've really blown it this week - gave in to a longing for fruit yesterday and had 2 bananas and strawberries and icew cream last night. Went out with friends to Pizza Express and completely caved in with the dough balls too. Not even going to peek on the scales as...

Hi Lizzy I think you are being harsh on yourself - I would say that was a stay the same week rather than a gain - my scales are out of the ark and only give me stone and pounds so I don't have to factor in any decimal points - On my scales you'd have plateaued which is not bad for a cheat...

Lizzy - Tescos and Sainsbury's sell it but usually its gone by Saturday evening so grab it quick. - It freezes well as Mash if you want to buy a few. Jay

Celeriac Chips - OMG - Wonderful !! Here's recipe I found (I didn't bother giving them a quick boil just put them straight in the oven and they were ready to eat in 25 mins) 2 large celeriac (1.3kg/3lb total weight) 3-4 tbsp groundnut or vegetable oil 1 tbsp mild curry Peel the celeriac...

Bigbum Thanks for the chips tip - I think it's steak and chips for me. Jay

You can mash Celeriac which tastes quite like potato - only place to get it around here is Sainsbury's and they haven't had any for a couple of weeks. It does roast as well which is VERY VERY Yummy if like me you're a potato addict. Jay

Hi Everyone Woofy - mate, good to see you are still checking in on us - wouldn't like to see you go for good! I do like quite a few of the meals esp the Beef in thyme gravy and the curries and I love the Tex Mex soup. I know you'd said about the meat in the Beef but mine so far has been ok -...

Evening Ladies Zoe - I'm in Primary so quite a big difference, hope you do well xx Flowerpower - I was worried about the tiny breakfast but once you add berries they really do seem to fill you up - all that chewing on the nuts and seeds I guess! Hope everyone is doing well. I found the...

Is it Primary or Secondary PGCE?

Hi Fatgirlslims (do you have another name?) - Congrats on the PGCE course. Don't be too hasty to buy your teaching clothes all up front. I've been a teacher for 19 years and the biggest thing you'll notice is that you're on your feet most of the time and it burns calories like crazy. I only...

Hi Everyone WELL DONE Lizzy that is so so so BRILLIANT you must be made up. what an inspiration to us all. 15 stone to under 10 is very impressive. Karen - I'm glad you had a good holiday - don't blame you for stepping out of go lower a bit its a holiday after all! Fatgirlslims -...

Yippee - Finally got my new box of Go Lower goodies.. Jay

Morning everyone - Hope you all have this delicious sunshine! I'm still waiting on my ebay box - really fed up now, I won it last weekend and because its relatively local thought I'd be able to go and pick it up - Have contacted the seller 3 times now and got no response. Its a whole month's...

Morning everyone - how's it going? Jay

Hi Everyone - How's it going. Woofy - bad news on the Go Lower deal - I was so impressed that they'd sent you two weeks. I hope you get it sorted. Now what's this about being so single - Single is just a state of mind, you've got your great boys, do you get much chance to go out though? I've...

Marion - Fabulous news - What a lift! Bet you are beaming!!!! Woof - Enjoy the cinema, keep promising mine I'll take them - we're off bowling this afternoon to dodge the showers. Katie - Brilliant will power over the weekend, bank up some of those brownie points for the party. Question to...

Morning all Hope you all had a brilliant bank holiday, the sun shone here and we had a lovely little BBQ - I love a diet that lets me eat sausages and burgers! Was planning on pottering today and getting a bit of gardening done but I've woken up to rain so it will be wellies and mud pies...

Hello Everyone !! OK started the day off fed up - have only lost 1lb this week so I was a bit miffed although I didn't think I'd lost much yesterday. Ah well - I'm in it for the long haul so must expect little set backs. On to the date - and Oh my god! the man is gorgeous... We've been...

Hi Woof Believe it or not its a blind date tomorrow (feel riddiculously teenage and getting very nervous). Thought I'd suggest Pizza Express and then have a chicken salad without the dressing or dough balls - all the yummy bits! Mind you, If he turns out to be awful I may be wanting to make a...

Morning everyone - How you all doing? Jay

Good afternoon Ladies Hope everyone is having a good day so far - Karen what a fantastic result no wonder you feel great, I'm a fan of positive thinking too and clearly it's paid off - Fabulous YOU GO GIRL!!!! Have a great time away. Murron - I now can't get the idea of a gammon steak out...

No worries my dear. Hope it helps Would ask though, with the amount of weight you've lost and the achievement moving down to size 10 I'm surprised you want to go further. I know it's none of my business and we all have our own ideas on ideal weight, but a size 10 sounds to me like a pretty...

Why not stretch a week out with your own stuff to go over a two week period and see how the weight is. - If there's been no change, or god forbid you go higher then cut your losses and click on ebay. If you are still losing but you've got the flexibility of ready made meals stick with the Go...

Woofy - Blimey that's a tough one. Maybe you need to look at the longer term - is low carb a lifestyle change for you? or do you intend to go back to a degree of "normal" eating after you reach your target weight? If you are low carb forever you could just add teh packs to your cupboards as a...

Woofy now you have your box - what did you finally decide to eat? Jay

Hi Everyone Woofy - I'm made up for you now you have your box(es) - That's a real result! Karen - you've inspired me to have cabbage in Butter tonight! Didn't even think of that one. I'm half way through Week 2 and seem to be getting the side effects you hear about - Thumping headache...

Hi All Late entry for me as I've been out this evening. I had eggs for brekkie, Pea and ham Soup for lunch and then a grilled chicken on its own for dinner and I have the mother of all headaches now!!!!! Had a bit of a dilemma in the bar wondering what I could drink, I dont drink alcohol...

Hi Karen Thanks for letting me know - I'm going to see if I can will it out on the sweet craving - (although jelly does sound yummy - not a cream lover, have to mix my granola with water:(). Jay

Got to be Beef in Thyme Gravy for me with the Tex Mex Soup as a fav lunch. Jay

Hi everyone Had a slow day today just didn't fancy any packs so had granola for brekkie, aubergine and mozerrella for lunch and chicken salad tonight. I've got a new order from avidlite coming (hopefully tomorrow) can't wait as I've promised the kids Carbonara pasta and the thought of it is...

Hi Karen I've just realised I'm bidding on your ebay stuff!! lol Jay

First results Hi Everyone Finally had my first weigh in and have lost 5lbs so I am delighted. Going to track down more supplies on ebay so that I can get them before this first lot runs out on Friday. Woofy - I checked the pack and it says 1.9 Carb for Beef in Thyme - one of the lowest...

Hey well done Woofy! I had the Beef in Thyme gravy this evening with asparagus - really gorgeous. Good look with the weight loss you've done so well already I'm sure it will fly off! Jay

Day 7 Hi Everyone - Hope your week has gone well. Well I made it to end of first week. Still really enjoying the food and amazingly I still have a full fridge at the end of a week - (and there was me thinking it was the kids that did all the eating!) Not had any headaches at all and managed...

Making ends meet I've looked at quite a few of these replacement meal diets and think they are really expensive, especially given the current economic climate. I don't think I've saved much on my regular shopping as I've bought quite a range of veg I wouldn't normally buy (and I still need to...

Day 4! Hi Everyone Have made it to Day 4 and still no sign of headaches (yippee!) but got to say that one side effect appears to be what my 3 year old describes as a "squeaky bottom!” Have many people experienced bad breath etc? As I was told that was something to look out for Still...

Hello Everyone Hi Everyone I've just sat down and read all the posts in this thread and am full of enthusiasm now. (Thank you bigbum09 for pointing me in the right direction). I've just starter Go Lower this weekend (Day 2 today) I've got a week's worth of packs from ebay to try it out...

Starting out on Go Lower - Hi I'm just about to start the Go Lower diet - have just got a week's pack to try the food. I've never done anything like this before but thought I'd give it a try. Is anyone else out there at the same stage and fancies a bit of mutual moral support?:) I'm looking to...
