    Made it through Day 1

    Well here goes day four!! I've survived but have to admit to having 4 CD rather than 3 the last two days, also had a few slices of thin sliced ham / chicken yesterday!! Hopefully it won't have done too much harm. I was wondering if I should try to just have two packs today & tomorrow to make up...

    Made it through Day 1

    Well I restarted yesterday and survived. Today I'm cooking a roast for 6, but somehow being around preparation of food isn't as bad as trying to avoid it :rolleyes: Anyone started this weekend? Got to stick with it, no summer clothes to fit otherwise :( Hoping to SS for 7 weeks then work up...

    effect of having 2 bars ??

    When buying bars, I only buy the peanut & cranberry and have had 2 many times without problems. Then again, when eating food, my OH always says my guts aren't normal as I can eat a bowl of brussell sprouts with no worries, lol :giggle:

    effect of having 2 bars ??

    The water has been a problem for the 1st day!! I was driving about & visiting elderly clients for 6 hrs today without a drink. Now have to drink 2 litres before bed, guess where I'll be most of the night. Also only had 1 pack so far so have some catching up to do. Hope everyone else is doing ok...

    Restart - Day 4 Almost Over!!!

    Well I'm back again. I restarted SS on Monday so day 4 almost over. I must admit today has been the hardest so far & I'm drinking yet another pint of water cos I'm so hungry & my son has just cooked a pepperoni pizza!! I think the best bet is probably to go off to bed with my water and a book...

    First weigh in since returning

    I weighed in yesterday after my 1st week back on SS - 11lbs!! I was gobsmacked. I didn't lose that much in my 1st week last year & had 3 stone to lose then. It was TOTM when I started back on track last week so I guess that could account for some - but hey, who cares the scales say 11lbs gone...

    tombstoning prayers....thinking of you all

    Living in Portsmouth and seeing this story in the paper so much, I haven't been able to stop thinking about the poor family & what they must be going through. My 15yr old son goes to school with the 2 lads who pulled Sonny out of the water and I know they've been having nightmares since, God...

    Icepop's??? to be or not to be!!

    Each morning I whizz up a shake with 300mls of water & pour into 6 lolly moulds. Any flavour is ok and they last a lot longer than a shake and you can spread them out - I had three mid afternoon when it was really hot and three after my soup. Not quite like a cornetto but lovley all the same.

    I hate BBQs

    Well done for not giving in. I think we can al symathise this weekend has been really tough. But heh, we are still on SS and have been sooooo good. Those scales will prove how worthwhile it was soon x

    EVERYTHING IS ABOUT FOOD!!

    Oh I totally agree!! Everywhere I've been today is about food too. went for a walk along the seafront and all I saw was people eating hotdogs, burgers, chips or icecrea. all over the common people had bbq's going. Then came home and made chicken ceasar sald for others. Seems like a weekend of...

    Restart May 7th not BH Mon!!

    Day 3 almost done & still on the wagon 100%. I must admit it's getting easier already, the thoughts of food aren't as often but I'm sure the warm weath helps. Hoping to be as good over the weekend as in the past I always found days off work harder. Totally agree that when Pompey beat Cardiff...

    Thanks for all the messages of support, it really helps doesn't it. Well 1st day back on SS & hoorah I've actually stuck to it 100%. Had my 3 shakes, drowned myself in water and done 40mins on the Wii Fit. Off to bed now to read my book and stay away from the cupboards. Keep it up everyone...

    You sound so like me, I had to double check to make sure I hadn't been sleep posting, lol! I do exactly the same as you, every day is the day I'm going to stick with it and every day by 6pm I picking at anything and everything (ok all day at work but then the cupboards tempt at home). Let's try...

    Hi guys. You guessed it, I didn't get back on the wagon on Mon, or yesterday for that matter!!! But todays the day. The weather is so nice & I keep thinking of all my summer clothes that won't fit if I don't put in the 100% needed to SS. It's TOTM and got the period from hell and feel like crap...

    Tummy Tuck & Boob Uplift Diary

    Not wearing support knickers as I've got a dead sexy corset (binder) from the consultant that I woke up with in recovery :giggle: I'm suppossed to wear it 24/7 for 4 weeks!!! It has a tendancy to be ripped off (it's velcro) in the middle of the night & fly magically across the room nearly...

    Tummy Tuck & Boob Uplift Diary

    Chitty I don't think you're being rude at all. I paid £8416 for the two op's together. The tummy tuck on it's own would've been £5150. It's cheaper to have 2 procedures done together for obvious reasons. I didn't have implants, just an uplift. Uplifts leave greater scarring than implants alone...

    Tummy Tuck & Boob Uplift Diary

    Hi All, it's good to be back. I'm now 4 days post op and doing ok. Here's the low down: Arrived at Bupa at 12 o'clock last Thurs as requested. I was shown to my room and saw the nurse about 20mins later for last details. The consultant then came to see me, drew all over tummy & boobs and...

    Tummy Tuck & Boob Uplift Diary

    Well todays the day I go in for the surgery :eek: Due to all the replies to my post about only 3 days til surgery, I thought I should have a go at keeping a diary whilst I go through the surgery & the recovery process. I've been up since 6am, had my light breakfast and am now nil by mouth except...

    3 days til tummy tuck & boob lift!!!

    I have to say that I agree with Sophiajo. Obviously it's a personal choice but I waited for 3 years to afford surgery in the UK, rather than a cheaper job abroad. I've not entered into this lightly I can assure you, and have been researching the whole idea (the op, the recovery, scarring, after...

    3 days til tummy tuck & boob lift!!!

    The surgery is private through BUPA unfortunately :cry:but the hospital is lovely, real 5 star service & treatment & the surgeon I decided on is lovely (really gorgeous though which is a bit embarrasing & unfortunate, lol). It's costing £8430 for the 2 op's combined. The tummy tuck alone...

    3 days til tummy tuck & boob lift!!!

    OMG, only 3 more sleeps on my belly til I have my tummy tuck & breast uplift. Going shopping with the kids in a minute to buy some pillows, more magazines and some prunes :jelous: can only imagine that dreaded constipation could be quite traumatic :D. Any hints or tips gratefully received.

    What happens when you have a tummy tuck?

    Michelle, i'd llove to know the site, please. I may be able to find others that have had the same two op's done at the same time which would be great. I agree though Mike, I think you're doing fab. My OH is very supportive about my surgery but confesses that men in general couldn't deal with...

    What happens when you have a tummy tuck?

    Mike, still engrossed in your updates. When I have my op's on 9th Aug, I'm hoping to return back to work on the 28th but am not sure how realistic this is from reading your diary of events!? My surgeon said that all being well I should be fine to return after 2 weeks, this is from tummy tuck &...

    What happens when you have a tummy tuck?

    I'm in, please. I weigh on a Thurs eve so will post weight loss then or Fri. This is wk 2 for me and wk 1 I lost 6lbs which to be honest wasn't as much as I'd hoped, so here goes. So far so good but I wish I wasn't waking up at night wanting a wee. My OH suggested a chamber pot!!:eek:

    Pain in lower back (kidney area) after drinking too much water!!

    I totally sympathise with needing the loo being inconvienient, it drives me mad. I pour 2 litres of fresh water into a empty 2 litre bottle each evening before bed so it's lovely & chilled for the next day. When that's gone (usually by early afternoon) I refill and aim to finish that 2nd bottle...

    Don't keep beating yourself up. What's done is done, and tomorrow is another day when you can put it behind you and completely start afresh. I firmly believe that anyone that can be 100% good in their 1st wk of Cambridge can stick to it. One blip is not the end of the world, it might just prove...

    Restarted Cambridge

    Hi All, this is my 1st time on here. I'm just starting day 10 of Cambridge. I lost 6lbs in my 1st week and I know it sounds silly, but I was really disappointed. I did the diet last year for 3 weeks before going abroad & lost 11lbs in my 1st week. During my 1st week this time I had TOTM, will...
