I have friends that have wheat allergies etc and who live on a diet of protein, veg, eggs, cheese etc and still drink! I would just make sure you are not drinking on an empty/liquid stomach! Enjoy your two day break :):):) x

I started the diet on Monday 2nd of Jan and as of my 4th weigh in last night have lost 17.5lbs so far :):):):):) so hopefully only another week or 2 and I'll be half way! Very happy, though have had a cold and stomach bug this week and everytime I take a sip of water or have a pack I feel like...

I have done both, apparently the packs for LL are made at the Cambridge factory and pretty much identical. Having done both there are only 2 differences as far as I can see/tell. 1. Cambridge is much cheaper, almost half the price 2. You don't have to attend a weekly group counselling session...

Good on you for coming back!!! I posted this earlier on another thread - it might help. When I did the diet the first time I was 100% - 3 packs, 3 litres of water and just black coffee. 2 weeks in a row at my weigh in I only lost 1lb and was so upset and dis-heartened and thought what is the...

When I did the diest previously I was 100% SS absolutely NO cheating and for 2 weeks in a row I only lost 1lb, was gutted but kept going and the following week I lost 9lbs, so it still evened out to a stone by the end of the month :) If that's happening try not to weigh at home and wait for your...

Hi fellow MM's - I had my week 2 weigh in yesterday and another 4lbs off - so that's 13lbs off in 2 weeks :):):) Feeling much better already and looking forward to the next stone when a difference will be really noticable and I'll be able to get into my size 14 clothes hanging in the...

5 foot 7. Starting weight 14 stone Week 1 loss - 8lbs Week 2 loss - 4lbs Good luck xx

Good luck - it's a fab plan! I have done hot yoga a couple of times and pretty much passed out and I wasn't on the plan, so I'm probably not the best person to ask - lol

Hi - how annoying for you! Have you looked to see if there is another CDC in your area that you can try and contact to see if you can get any packs from them???? That is what I would do in the first case, especially as it sounds like you might need a different/new CDC anyway!! Failing that if...

Hiya, day 2 and 3 are often the worst/hardest for most people. You will usually start to reach ketosis by day 4 and then will notice a bit of high and suddenly not feeling as hungry if at all!!! You are a similar height, weight and goal weight as me...... I am slightly taller, weigh a bit more...

Hi guys, It was my week one weigh in this morning and I have lost 9lbs so very happy indeed :):):) It really motivates you to keep going...... have also started exercising my horse a couple of times a week in the evenings now as the outdoor school lights have been installed so will be good...

How ever big you are that is an amazing achievement xx

Wow!!!! Well done that's amazing you must be over the moon!!!! Can I ask how much your starting weight was, if you don't mind? X

The film was brilliant, really recommend it!!!! I take a couple of paracetamol for the headaches but they do pass and I can't recommend 3 litres of water enough, make sure you sipping all through the day as that helps! So start of day 4 for me today and feeling good :) Weigh in is Tuesday...

Hello everyone, well day 3 today and feeling pretty good, bit lightheaded and a bit sick but not hungry so would hope I'm heading into ketosis and will start to feel better and better. I definitely couldn't get through it without 3+ litres of water a day! I weigh myself every couple of days to...

Good luck!!!!! I'm on day 2 and all good so far, I remember from before how motivational it is at the first weigh in and you just want to keep going after that :) x

Hi guys, I'm back after a year and have 3 stone to lose :( I'm on day 2 of SS and feeling pretty good and very motivated. I now have 2 horses and am a bit heavy for one of them so looking forward to losing a stone of the three so I can start riding him again and not leaving him to just friends...

Hi guys, Sorry been mega busy at work. Shanny typical menu was 2 or 3 eggs scrambled for breakfast. Slices of roast chicken breast or tuna or smoked salmon for lunch with a muller light yoghurt and grilled meat with some garlic and onions or seasoning of some sort in the evening. I am now on...

Ahhh yes Molly is indeed a chocolate labrador. She is now two and a half an still gets mistaken for a 5 month old pup as she is so tiny :jelous::jelous::jelous:

What more would you like to know???? I don't want to bore everyone! :jelous:

Hi guys, I started the Dukan on Sunday and have lost 5lbs in 5 days and am chuffed to pieces. Fully prepared that when I go onto cruise on Saturday that it will slow right down but it's a great kick start to the 2 stone and 12lbs I want to lose :jelous: x

Hi guys, I have started SW today and stupidly left my book at home this morning :-( I have just been to Waitrose and bought some multigrain Finn Crisps and am hoping someone can tell me how many I can have as an HEB on Extra Easy plan. Also I have Waitrose essential low fat 1.4% cottage cheese...

I think everyone needs to do what works for them, we are all different! I do a couple of spin classes a week, swim 4 times a week and also do fitness yoga and body pump. I have a daily high protien meal like fish or meat with salad so I have the energy to exercise and that works for me. Only...

Hi, me and my housemate are both on SS+ and we have a personal trainer 5 mornings a week at 6.15am. 3 mornings a week we do one hours sort of weights/body pump class with her and 2 mornings we do 1.5 hours boxing (high cardio) with some sqauts, abs work and bits and bobs thrown in and we are...

Hi guys, So some of you may remember I had to go into hospital about 5/6 weeks ago and it completely threw me. I was told I couldn't do ANY exercise for 4-6 weeks so I stopped the SW plan, was drinking a LOT of wine and totally comfort eating. Needless to say I ended up gaining 8lbs in about...

Hi guys, well after having to go in to hospital for treatment last week and being told that as they have removed so much of my cervix I may have problems carrying a child I went into freefall. I have spend the last 5 days eating absolute crap, including vast amounts of chocolate and I have...

I had decided to invest in a personal trainer from Monday - 2 x 1 hour sessions a week with the money I am saving on not going out as much. Anyway was all revved to go then got home last night to a letter from the hospital saying I have to go in immediately (next week) for colposcopy treatment...

I am starting 2 x 1 hour sessions next week with a personal trainer. I walk my dog for about 1.5 - 2 hours at the weekends (hills usually and at a fairly quick pace) and horse ride once a week. Until I start with the PT don't think I'll notice much of a difference....... x

I couldn't really taste the mustard in those sausages and couldn't taste the apple in those either. my favourites are definitely the chilli and garlic as they have a nice kick to them. The burgers are fab too, great with a small wholemeal roll from a HEB, reduced fat cheese slice and lots of...

5lbs in 2 weeks so 2.5lbs a week. I too lost wieght fast on CD so am very happy with 2-2.5lbs a week - only 20lbs left to go to goal :D:D:D

Good luck - not sure what advice I can offer other than set yourself a mini goal to maybe get to a stone (just to get you past the 7lbs). I know how you feel as keep getting to just over 11 stone, clothes fit, I feel good then stop and slowly gain. Am determined this time to finally reach goal...

Mine was my overall weightloss journey. Did LL at 15stone 4lbs and got down to 11 stone 3lbs. Met someone and 3 years later gained 3 stone back so strated CD at 14 stone 4, lost 3 stone to get to 11 stone 4 then after Christmas/holiday and 5 months after CD finished I started SW at 12 stone...

Hi and welcome. i swapped from CD to SW and am following red/Original days only at the moment (will chuck in a couple of greens on the days I'm seeing a personal trainer) in 10 days time. I lost 3lbs in my first week but that wasn't going straight from CD to SW. I was off any diet for about 4/5...

12lbs in 4 weeks is fab hon. I would be delighted to achieve that - Big pat on the back! x

Welcome Camille and a big congrats on your loss so far and for having the will power to start on NYE!!!!! Good luck with your journey to goal :) x

Hi - just checked for you and looks like a no......... "Although some products sound as though they are suitable to be chosen as a Healthy Extras, for example brown rice, they don't contain enough fibre and/or calcium." Sorry :( xx

Please try not to worry and if you can ditch the scales! I was the same my first week, weighed at home on the Sunday morning (started on the Wednesday) and had lost 0.5lbs. Then was convinced I hadn't lost or put on as I always weigh heavier in the evening than the morning. When I went to 1st...

I've only had one weigh in so far, 2nd one tomorrow night but I eat as normal on weigh in day and then have a normal SW dinner when I get home. I try to not think of it as different to any other day!

I was a daily scale hpper after doing the CD, but started SW nearly 2 weeks ago and my housemate has hidden the scales as she is doing SW with me. It's amazing how much better I am doing not weighing in other than at class. When I went on daily it would really affect my mood and then how I ate...

You all have lovely OH's - I'm single unfortunately so have to treat myself! x

Hi guys, Thought it would be fun to start a thread seeing what people are going to treat themselves to when they reach their Goal weight. I am undecided yet between Tom Ford Aviator sunglasses and Louboutin shoes!!!! :):):) 21.5 lbs to go......... xx

Joe's sausages are soooo worth it, especially the ones with chilli in - yum yum! x

I do mostly red days and was having 2 weetabix for lunch then 2 slices of nimble brown bread at lunch time and first few days wasn't really losing so I cut back to just one B choice which I have for breakfast and have a big salad for lunch, suddenly the weight started going. Bread really doesn't...

A HUGE Whoop Whoop for you! Brilliant acheivement - well done !!!!! :):):):) x

I also only tend to snack on fruit, mullers and raw veg (carrot sticks/cucumber sticks, celery) if I'm really hungry I may have some crab sticks or cold meat, so far I have only done red days as carbs seem to be my downfall and I am more of a meat and veg gal x

I believe 1 HEB is 2 bars so yes you could have 4 but I am not 100% sure! x

And a HUGE well done on only gaining 5lbs between September and January. Huge achievement in itself!!! x

Thank guys :) nattyk good luck with a half marathon (very impressive)!! to those just starting I couldn't believe what a good loss I had given how much food I ate but I guess when it's the right things it's OK. I used to do CD and an average loss was 3/4lbs a week and that was eating NOTHING. So...

Thanks guys! :-) x

Hey hon - welcome!!!!! I was on the Cambridge Forum same time as you (not sure if you remember me)!!!! So nice to see a friendly face (not that everyone isn't really friendly on here..... but someone that I know! I decided I needed to lose weight a more healthy way (eating)!!! And have just...

I lost 3lbs and am chuffed to bits. Stuck to the plan 95% (2 meals out) and a few alcoholic drinks and its the fist day of TOTM today. Couldn't be happier!!! :):):)

Hi I have my first weigh in tomorrow - eeeek (don't feel like I've lost anything despite sticking to it 100%). Anyway i would like to join in as I am going to Spain for 3 nights on Easter Sunday so would love to be at least half a stone lighter by then! Charlottegrace - 7lb to lose total so...

I used to work with a girl like that she ate so much and whatever she wanted and was gorgeous and slim! Maybe that's the only thing she eats all day!!!

My question is.............. is she overweight or not!?

Good luck for tonight hon x

I think they are 23g per bar?????

Hi guys, I am cooking my first red/original day supper this evening for me and my new housemate. i plan on chucking a load of lovely winter veg and some turkey breast fillets into a baking dish with herbs, garlic and fry light but wanted to know if anyone can recommend a good syn free or very...

Hi Amy, not sure I can give you any great advice but wanted to reply to show support!!!!! If it was me I think I would have a good think about why I started the diet in the first place and what my goals are. If you want it badly enough then it has to be worth more to you than the chocolates and...

Hi I joined SW last night and have just bee reading this post and guess what...... I have just ordered a load of sausages, some bacon and burgers :-) Out of interest it doesn't say if the bacon is syn free but assume on a red day it is as it's lean with no fat??? Can anyone confirm that...

Hi all, I have used the site before as have done CD in the past but joined SW last night with my new housemate and am excited. I have 1 stone and 3.5lbs to lose to reach goal. First day today :-) Nice to meet you all!

Hi all, it's been a while....... I last posted on the maintenance thread as I am only 8lbs from goal and have now lost 3 stone in 4 months. I think it will take me a good couple of months to lose the last 8lbs but am hoping that journey will help me to maintain as it's a real learning curve. I...

Well I had my weigh in today and lost 1.5lbs so pleased with that! Getting to target, albeit at the pace of a tortoise at the moment :D x

Hi guys, hope you are well, sorry to have been a bit quiet but been ill for last week or so with a chest infection. I didn't weigh in last week as poorly so weighing in tomorrow. I have been stuck with my weight but being ill = loss of appitite so fingers crossed for tomorrow, it's been a...

Hi guys, I'm sure there will be some I know on here from SS. I still have about 12lbs left to lose and am eating again I lost 2lbs this week but befor you say well done that was after a 3lb increase the week before :eek::eek::eek: I am a healthy BMI now and really want to lose the last bit...

Can I join too. I am on much higher plan as healthy BMI but still have a stone to lose and only managed to maintain the last 4 weeks :cry: delilah - 14lbs ghdgirl -14 lbs justjen84- 14lbs Lexy1972 - 10lbs Lizzylocket - 13lbs Mia - 14lb ShootingStar - 14lbs

Just seen this after commenting on the other post - well done hon, that is FAB! I lost 3lbs last Friday and am not quite sure how, not had a good weekend though a actively dating now so am going to have a healthy good week and hope for the best come Friday :) xx

Hey Em, how did you get in with weigh in last Friday??? I lost 3lbs (couldn't quite believe it) but had a very bad weekend so not sure if i'll have lost anything by this coming Friday's weigh in xx

I agree with the above. Re-starts are hard as it is and you might find it tough after the holiday if you start beforehand and are already thinking about Saturday night. I would just try and be sensible until you go away and then start the plan with 100% commitment when you get back - good luck...

Hi hon, how are you? I haven't posted for a couple of weeks as came off the plan due to a week off work and a crazy social life. I put on 0.5lbs last week which I was pretty pleased with as went from packs to 2 meals a day and drank alcohol most days for a week. Started back on 1000 plan on...

WHOOP WHOOP - Well done you - brilliant, fabulous, congrats!!!!!!! :D:D:D x

Hi there, OK depends - if you need wider calved ones then Evans do them and also a website called www.plusinboots.co.uk also www.marisota.co.uk If you don't need to worry about larger calf sizes then try New Look, Debenhams and M&S. Hope this helps! x

I do feel fab and very proud of myself for getting here so thank you for all the lovely comments (this site has been a godsend)! I don't want to get complacent though as I would like to get down to between 10 and 10.7 so do have a little way to go. Have a crazy 7/8 days ahead so will be happy...

I think it looks lovely and I so wish I would wear a dress ith such short sleeves. My arms are definitely the worst part of my body! You look FAB! I'm so with you on wanting to wear colour, if you're like me you have lived in black as it's more slimming but now the weight has come off/is...

11ish, 2/3pm and 7ish. I found if I had my last one too late I couldn't get to sleep! Very bizarre as most seem to have their last one quite late, so I must just be a bit odd!!!! x

What a fantastic way to look at things, really positive. That has been my journey too and with an outlook like that I'm sure you will do brilliantly! Good luck hon xx

Morning everyone, well this morning weigh in has finally taken me JUST into a healthy BMI! I am chuffed to bits...... still wnt to lose about a stone to get to my ideal weight but am happy to lose this over the next 2-3 months as moving up the plans and want to prove I can still lose whilst...

Well done hon, you must be really proud x

Another thought re being lonely is get a dog!!!! If you work from home they are the most amazing companion and you will have to walk it every day so great exercise. Plus other dog owners tend to be really friendly and you tend to see the same people if you walk in the same areas. I live alone...

Hi guys, I am a mixture or nerves and excitement as I am going on my first date in 3 years on Saturday (came out of a 3 yr relationship about 10 weeks ago)! I met him for about 20 minutes leaving a bar in London a couple of weeks ago, we chatted and he took my number. So he has been texting...

I'm sure SS and SS+ isn't for everyone. Look how many of us struggle to stay 100% on it. You have to REALLY be in the ZONE. After my weigh in on Friday I will only have about 14lbs to lose and am going to move up the plans fairly quickly as I want to lose the last 10lbs or so on the 1000 plan as...

In my opinion (and it's just an opinion). I would say now would be the ideal time for CD. You want to lose about 5 stone and could do that in 4 months if you stick 100% to SS. If you are not out much at the moment anyway then you're not missing out on a lot. Also if you are anything like me with...

I weigh myself 1st thing every morning but don't take too much notice until Friday morning which is my official weigh in day. Am hoping for a loss of about 5lbs this Friday morning as will have had a 10 day stint of 100% SS since last Wednesday :D

Good luck Guru, i know you can do it...... just keep thinking fertility treatment, fertility treatment :D x

Hi Penny, I just wanted to say welcome back and good luck on your journey xx

That's a fab loss and congrats on getting into the 12's - it's SUCH a fab feeling when you drop down a stone bracket :D xx

Morning peeps....... Really happy as feel like I'm nearing the end of my 10 day challenge and am excited that the scales are showing a 5lb loss so far - fingers crossed for my weigh in on Friday morning! I start moving up the plans from Friday - whoop whoop x Day 1: DONE Day 2: DONE Day...

Well done hon and after your last post too..... fab news to have lost another 2lbs! x

Good luck hon, I know how hard it can be but you CAN do it! Think about what you have left to lose..... and would you rather focus and get the weight off or mess around nibbling and look back in 3 months and think :cry::cry::cry:I could have lost 3 stone by now but instead I've only lost 1-2...

You'll be at a healthy BMI before you know it! x

Me again, it is certainly an idea to lose a bit more before you go away so you can relax and enjoy your break BUT a stone is a lot to lose and put on again in a short space of time (if I'm understanding your post). All I'm saying is enjoy what you want but don't think burger and chips every day...

Hi there, it depends really what you mean by blow out week. What wuld concern me is if you eat buger and chips and all those types of food all week and that's what you crave you need to re-train your brain around food as this is the stuff that makes us all put on weight! If you were to have a...

Well done you - fab loss :D x

Why don't you post a new thread minimins in Bristol appeal - help??? Might work ;) x

Whoop whoop - well done you! :D:D x

Hi hon, sounds like you are doing really well and the chicken should have been fine, not sure why you felt so rubbish? You are doing really well :D and is possible you will have lost that weight in that timescale. I am hoping for 5lb+ off on Friday as been on SS for past 7 days with 3 more to...

As above, at least it was protein and like you say a lesson learnt, just put it behind you now! Onwards and upwards :D

Have a wonderful 'slim' holiday hon. I think you should post lots of pics of you in your bikini when you get back to spur the rest of us on! :D x

Just wanted to say what a lovely title for a thread :D:D:D I feel happier than I have in a LONG time too x

You're over halfway there, so what if it takes longer to lose the last 20lbs, as long as you lose them that's what matters. is it worth moving up the plans a bit if you are happy to take longer? I am really hoping that I have a great loss at weigh in on Friday and then I plan to move up. I...

Just a thought but is it worth putting out an appeal on here to see if any minimins live in Bristol and would consider putting you up for a couple of nights??? x

Good luck on and congrats on the baby :D you have done it before so know it can be done x

Hi hon, that's really good to hear! I have struggled with SS and my social life! I am now on day 7 or a 10 day stint and then after weigh on on Friday I am going to move up to SS+ x

Welcome and good luck. You are soooo lucky only having 17lbs to lose I have just under left to lose having already lost nearly 3 stone. It will happen very quickly for you on CD and you will LOVE it!!! x

Hey hon, the tuna is fine, the cheese is also a very small amount and are protein so it's only the few crisps. I have eaten a lot worse and still lost every week so far so just put it behind you. You have done SO well and will be fine xx

Well done you!!! xx

Wow Angie, well done you, fab news and you must be so excited about the reaction when your family see you. I think others reaction is one of the best things about the speed and results of this diet x

Wow, what an AMAZING loss. You must feel like a different person and SO proud of yourself! A HUGE congratulations! x

Hi Amanda, sorry to hear you have had such a tough time :cry:I started piling on the weight at around 10 yrs old. My father was an alcoholic and used to hit me when drunk so I started comfort eating and never really stopped as it became a habit. I lost 4 stone on LL 2.5 years ago and got to...

Hiya, as before just get straight back on it and it won't matter. I have had many 'blips' but as long as you just get straight back onto SS it's fine. I hasn't really affected my losses too much. Onwards and upwards! x

Well done Holly, a fab loss! x

I asked my CDC if I need to move up next week as my BMI should hit 25 or below but she said it wasn't necessary as I am eating anyway in between spurts of SS. I was really good to begin with to get the bulk of the weight off but I'm afraid now my priority is also to have a social life again. So...

A HUGE congrats to CharlotteK, what a massive and fantastic achievement! :0clapper::party0019::party0049::party0038::banana dancer:

Not stupid at all honey and nothing I can really say other than not having the lovely you there will be their loss today, not yours. I also bet if your dad were alive he would be immensly proud of you right now. I lost my dad when I was 20 so know how you feel. Sending you lots of hugs...

You are over half way there and have a similar amount as me left to lose. good luck and you can do it. I am slightly nervous as after this week I will be moving up the plans as have next week off and have lots of social events (mainly as I've largely been in hibernation these past 2 months). I...

I love living in Godalming :D I really want to get to between 10 and 10.7 as the lowest I have been as an adult is 10.10 :D We CAN do this! Good luck Jools xx

Hi Gem, good luck for your weigh in and well done you..... let us know how you get on xxx

Whoop whoop - well done YOU! :D x

Hi hon, good luck with your re-start. I am only about 17lbs from goal now and know I look MUCH better and am getting tons of compliments. If they start to sway me I strip off and stand naked in front of the mirror and then it's clear to me where the other 17lbs need to come off from! It's one...

Please don't worry. When I did LL 2.5 years ago I didn't cheat once in the first 100 days and 2 weeks in a row I only lost 1lb then the 3rd week 8.5lbs so it will catch up, just look forward to the upcoming big drop you will have! :D x

Hi Jools and welcome back (though I wasn't here your first time round). It's good that you only have 40lbs to lose - you CAN do it! Good luck hon x p.s. Where in Surrey are you?

You have a stunning/beautiful face and can lose the weight, so think how gorgeous you will be when you get to goal! x

Hi Ellie, no real advice to give but wanted to say welcome and good luck on your journey x

Day 5 done - 5 left to go :D Day 1: DONE Day 2: DONE Day 3: DONE Day 4: DONE Day 5: DONE Day 6: Day 7: Day 8: Day 9: Day 10:

That made me cry. Hugs honey and well done you! x

Awwww thanks guys! I think going by today I will need to buy some new jodphurs as well in the next couple of weeks :D

Hi Em, I know how you feel. It's a bit like a drug when you start being able to shop anywhere and wear clothes you previously couldn't!!!! Luckily I still have my slim wardrobe from LL 3 two and a half years ago and only got to wear most of it for a few months so in about 7lbs time I will...

Hey hon, don't worry, we are all human and it happens. You have done so well and cometimes it takes a blow out to re- evaluate your goals and reasons for dieting to get the motivation to continue. In the past if I ate I would think 'sod it' and keep eating for days (a real yoyo) BUT this time...

Happy Sunday all! Day 4 done and dusted and scales dropped 2lbs in last 2 days so really excited about my weight loss on Friday after a 10 day SS stint :D Just got back from a one hour hilly dog walk, home for a pack and water and in an hour off horse riding for a couple of hours on the...

Woo hoo. I had been saving 2 pairs of Diesel jeans for when I lost some weight and as I tried on 2 pairs of other jeans yesterday and they fell off me so took them off to the charity shop and thought I'd try on the Diesels. Anyway 1 of the pairs is already too big :( but :D if you know what I...

Hello and welcome...... go for it, it is THE BEST DIET ever. You could do SS for 2 weeks and would probably lose anywhere between 10 and 12lbs then you could move up the plans, that way you would lose the last few pounds whilst eating! xx

LOVE the dress and the shoes, might have to go and get one myself!!!! BTW When SS'ing I have still lost 2-4lbs in a week with 1 night off eating/drinking but making sensible choices and not eating too much (in terms of volume)! :D x

Good luck to you both :D x

Good luck hon. It's really exciting when it's your first time as you won't believe how much weight you lose after diets like SW. If you can stick to it you will have the weight off in no time at all and will be loving the CD!!!! Most people lose around a stone in the first 2-3 weeks when they...

Welcome back! I am the same everytime I've tried to do SW or WW I get so stressed out with all the shopping, meal planning etc only then to lose 1-2lbs. This diet is hard but in many ways it's easy as you don't have to think about food. Just stick to the plan as much as possible and wtch the...

Hi hon, I have a very active social life and have had quite a few 'nights off' since starting. My advice would be go out and have a lovely evening. If you stick to chicken/fish (basically protein and veg) you will be fine. If you drink as well (as I always do) then try to have gin and slimline...

Good morning all! Day 3 done - feeling good though still not quite in ketosis I don't think. Going to try and buy some ketostix this morning. Bit of shopping, a nice long walk with my 11 month old puppy and then the cinema later on is my plan for the day! Hope everyone else in the early days of...

I dislike mu upper arms/have terrible bingo wings and they are not in proportion to the rest of my body. Also boobs, used to have quite nice ones but the loss has left them looking like partially deflated balloons! Lastly my lower tummy, covered in stretch marks and loose skin. Would love to...

I'm with Lizz, clothed I'm pretty happy with my body but naked......... (and no Jim I'm not going to give you proof) :banana dancer: So I like my eyes, smile, calves, wrists, bum, waist and collarbone/neck. Think I'll go and post on the other thread now about the bits I don't like...... x

Hi hon, another weird moment. On my pics I have before and after but from last time round. Before are no different but still not had my picture taken this time round! I am VERY jealous of the red dress picture as I still cannot wear sleeveless. My arms are aweful and I have really bad loose...

Good luck on your journey hon. You will be really motivated by the quick weight loss x

Good luck honey..... you can do it!!! xx

Hey hon, it's a tough one. I would say think are you happy to lose at a slower rate and pick/eat or is it more important to get the weight off as soon as possible. If it's the latter maybe think about why and make a list and when you want to pick look at it and hopefully that will motivate you...

Wow - what an amazing loss..... well done you! x

Hi Liz, great to hear you are having a fab day today. I am on day 3 of a 10 day stint of SS was struggling a bit earlier when I found cold chicken in the fridge left from my friend staying a couple of days ago, so picked all the meat off it and gave it to the dog....... she couldn't believe her...

I agree, we all know it would be better to not eat but I am of the thought you also have to live your life. It's about your priorities. I have had many nights off whilst on SS for social events since the first 3 to 4 weeks and have managed to consistently lose 10lbs - 12lbs a month doing this...

Morning!!!! Day 2 done - had my weigh in this morning and only lost 1/2lb so am really looking forward to next Friday after a further 8 days of SS! x Day 1: :checkmark green: DONE Day 2: DONE Day 3: Day 4: Day 5: Day 6: Day 7: Day 8: Day 9: Day 10:

Whoop whoop - good luck with weigh in and let us know how you get on! x

Hee hee - I'm doing good thanks hon. Day 2 of SS again on a mission now to get to the low 11's and then am thinking about moving up the plans until goal of between 10 and 10.7 xx

Oh hon, don't worry about it! Sometimes we have to go through these things to make us stronger, realise what our limitations and triggers are and to get to a place where we stop repeating patterns of behaviour around food! Also if you have been off the diet for a while you'll probably lose the...

Hey Shanny24, don't worry a small blip/taste can be forgotten! Just put it behind you and good luck for tomorrow. I have just been for an hour long hilly dog walk, home for a tetra and a litre on water. Now watching Briget Jones, The Edge of Reason :D xx

OMG this thread made me laugh SO MUCH! :8855: Not that I am getting any at the moment but good to have all the facts for when I am :gimi::banana dancer:

Hey Kikuka, well done and looks like you are on track with only a stone to go..... well done you! xx

Welcome hon and congrats on your fab weight loss so far! x

I too will be maintaining by Christmas. I am just going to be 'sensible' like my slim sisters always are and not go bonkers. What I have found really interesting this time around is that when I ahve eaten in the past few weeks, I have even had carbs and have still lost or stayed the same. My...

I would nibble on chicken and celery but from past experience the idea of it is always more satisfying than the food actually tastes. When I am in the right head space if I get the urge to nibble I just distract myself and the next day I'm fine. It probably won't affect your losses or kick...

I'm 5.7 and weigh 11.10 at the moment and am a size 12 down below and a 14 up top (opposite to you) I know when I get to around 11 stone I am a 10 down below and a 12 up top and am aiming to get to just over 10 stone and hope to be a size 10! hope this helps! :D x

Well done Jim - fab loss again, very jealous at the amount the guys lose ;) you look so different from when you started and must be really proud of yourself! :D:D:D x

Jump on board ladies....... day 1 completed and half way through day 2 and feeling strong. Just turned down chocolate at work and off for a nice long dog walk when I get home around 5pm. We can do this xxxx

Hi guys, well I hope to have lost the 18lbs (maybe a few more) by the end of October and would like to be maintaining by the time I go away. It's going to be sooooo cold but my friend has said pack light as the shopping is much cheaper out there than in the UK :D I'm going to start saving a...

Hey hon, congrats on 8 days 100% SS and a fantastic weight loss! xxx :D

LL is Lighter Life, pretty much the same as CD but cheaper. Good luck with CD, it's fab if your head is in the right place and you want it bad enough! Good luck with your re-start too! x

Hi hon, I'm glad you're feeling better today :D It's funny, we are almost the same height, almost the same weight, both have recruitment companies and both have dogs - similar or what!!! :D xxxx

Whoop whoop - After what has been a fairly crappy year for me I have just booked a holiday to Canada! I am going on the 29th Dec for 12 days to stay with girlfriend. I got my flight with BA for only £225 as I had airmiles :D I am determined to have reached goal and be maintaining by then and...

Well done hon. Your loss has been great, you are doing really well xx

Welcome back! When you think on Cambridge we can lose close to 5lbs in a week you did BRILLIANTLY to only gain 5lbs in 2 months. That's a HUGE acheivement in itself. Good luck with your re-start! xx

Morning!!!! Thought yesterday might have been harder as been off plan so much the past week but went fine, hopefully day 2 won't be too bad..... 9 days left to go.... water, water and more water!!!! x Day 1: :checkmark green: DONE Day 2: Day 3: Day 4: Day 5: Day 6: Day 7: Day 8: Day 9: Day 10:

Well done hon.... it's the BEST feeling ever when you have an amazing lost isn't it? Just keep going and try and get your head around the fact that food isn't a reward/treat (even one chip) as that will set you in good stead moving forward! Congrats again....... xx

This is the 3rd time I have done SS and each time I have lost 1.5 stones in the first month and then it has averaged out to a stone a month! Hope this helps x

Hi Paul, you have had such great advice so far that all I will say id good luck hon with whatever you decide to do. If you want to lose the weight SOOOO badly in time for the wedding then you WILL and you could lose 4-5 stone in 2.5 months as a male. Best of luck x

Good luck hun. I have set up a thread 'Lexy's 10 day SS challenge' come and join me on there if you like. I too am aiming for 7lbs in the next 10 days! xx

Hey Charley, well done hon. That's where I should be had I been 100% :mad: You have done brilliantly and should be so proud. Good luck over the next 3 weeks, you are going to look AMAZING on holiday and will have such a fab time showing off your new figure :D x

Hi Shanny24, thanks hun. Why don't you post your 'this morning at home weight' and join me on this mini 10 day challenge and we can report our loss in 10 days time? xx

Good luck honey, it is hard but so worth it..... I have another 20lbs to lose and have been kind of rubbish so have set a mini 10 day challenge to get through! I'm sure you can do it and you have done sooooo well to lose 50lb so far. Think how amazing your Christmas will be if you can stick to...

Well after 5 days of crazy social stuff and being on and off plan for the past 5 weeks I plan to start SS again today and have cleared all social occassions so I can do a 10 day stint! I am determined to remain 100% for the next 10 days as I really want to shift another half a stone and then...

Morning everyone! Well after 5 days of crazy social stuff, including having a friend staying from Canada) I plan to start SS again today and have cleared all social occassions so I can do a 9/10 day stint! I am determined to remain 100% for the next 9/10 days as I really want to shift another...

Hi Liz, go for it. I exercise ex-racehorses and ex-eventers and a 5 year old eventer every weekend (only 1 at a time) for an old chap who has them for fun. It is brilliant for toning and if I miss a week every bone in my body aches after I have been. If you used to ride it is like riding a...

Welcome Liz, well after another weekend off plan I am going to try really hard to start SS again tomorrow (I have a b'day dinner Tuesday evening but after that I have a 9 day run (I have made sure there is nothing in the diary next weekend). I really want to do a good stretch on SS and get down...

Welcome and well don on your loss - brilliant and so nice to go away feeling and looking great. Not long to goal when you get back :D Your children are gorgeous by the way :D x

An interesting thread......... I've had the following comments: Wow, you look amazing, stunning actually....... You've gone from a 10 pints a girl to a 1 pint :confused::confused::confused: it did actually make me laugh! You look about 5-10 years younger :D Stop now, you look better with...

Hello and welcome - good luck to everyone just starting. It really is the most fab diet :D:D:D you will love watching the weight literally drop off you and just hang in there until you are in ketosis as it does get much easier!!! xx

Love it too. Only diet out of the many I have tried that I seem to be successful on and I LOVE the fact it's so quick it keeps me motivated 2 and a half stone down in 9 weeks and another stone and a half to go :D:D:D x

Welcome back honey, sorry to hear you have been unwell :hug99:but great to hear you are feeling better and back on SS :D Good luck with your re-start and losing 2 stone before the wedding at the end of September xxx

Not boasting at all hon, that's half a stone in 2 weeks so you have every right to feel chuffed to bits :D:D:D Well done you.......... xx

Hi guys, stayed 100% yesterday too and today is day 4 and going well :D:D:D For some reason I am finding it easier this week (doesn't make a lot of sense I know)!!! On a positive note I may just hit my target of an 8lb loss when I weigh in with my CDC (she has been away for 2 weeks, so that...

Hey Tif, sorry to hear you fell off the wagon at the weekend (though technically so did I even planned) just try and get back into SS as soon as you can. I managed it Sunday and it was tough but ny Monday morning I had lost the weekend gain and it's down the scales from here on in! I just figure...

Day 2 100% SS done! On day 3 now and think ketosis is kicking in. Scales showed 11st 13lbs and 3/4 this morning. Just a 1/4 off 12 stone but am really happy as not been 11 something for about 2/2.5 years! I have another 3-4lbs to lose before weigh in on Thursday morning to reach my mini goal...

Well done hon, you must be SOOOOO proud of yourself and you are a very inspiring minimin :D:D:D I have just under a stone to get to the goal I set with my CDC and then will start working up the plans and hopefully lose another 10 - 14lbs xxx

Hello - I'm still here (though not an oldie)! Mrscoffalot - hi hon, day 3 of SS again for me and going well. Weighed this am and 11.13 and 3/4 so only just but very happy to be 11 something for the first time in about 2.5 years! :D Eyeonthe prize love the new avatar pic :D Curly - how is...

Ahhh thanks Liz - she is my baby, though at 10.5 months now, quite a bit bigger! What dog have you got? xx

Good luck hon, it can be done a 2nd/3rd..... etc time around as you will see There are lots of us on here that are not first timers :) I'm sure you will do great - it really is the best and quickest diet ever and a brilliant forum for support!!!! x

Hi hon, the first weekend I went off plan after a few weeks of SS I put on 6lbs in 2 days. Went straight back on SS the Sunday and by the Monday morning had lost the gain and by Thursday weigh in still managed to lose 2lbs!!!! SO DON'T WORRY, just get straight back on SS and it will go before...

That's brilliant - well done you!!!! I have been the same recently, when off plan I have made sensible choices and managed to lose something every week even if it's just a lb or 2 - it's the BEST feeling! :D:D:D x

p.s. Look how many replies we have on this thread - we're like the game ones!!!! :D:D:D let's keep going gang......... xxx

Whoop whoop - congratulations to you..... I love hearing good success stories, helps with motivation! xx

Hi guys, Welcome to Broxi :D Congrats to Losingitforgood for a whopping 7lb loss and also to soontobelittlegem for 7 days 100% SS. Also to all the others out there that got through the weekend. I did get through yesterday successfully and with a hangover (when I would normally eat carbs for...

p.s. Tif - have PM'd you x

Hey ladies..... I'm back!!!! I had one of the best weekends EVER. First time out in a couple of months (since I split up with my long term boyfriend). I got chatted up loads and even had a cheeky snog last night :D:D:D My scales showed +3lbs this morning (but I have to say given the amazing...

I should be making the most of it as I'm not too far off a BMI of 25 and then I believe I ahve to move to SS+ anyway! xx

Good luck hon..... I did it yesterday but know the next couple of days are off-plan so will need all the encouragement I can get once I'm back on this thread getting back into SS x x

PP - welcome and good luck, this thread has been great for a few of us! Tif - hey hon..... was worried I had offended you commenting on your height, but just thought wow 4 foot something is weeny and wondered if it was right, good to now see you are 5.6 and your BMI calc has improved...

Hey Tif, well done on 2lbs - I only lost a 1lb at weigh in this morning and have a really hectic weekend with socialising so am going to jump back on SS on Sunday if I can and try and make it through to next Thursday WI when my CDC is back. I need to lose 6lbs by then which I don't think will...

Only a 1lb for me this week - boo hoo :cry:Note to self must stick to SS so I have a better weight loss next week!!!! x

Only 1lb off for me this week (note to self..... must do better)!!!! Banafell - 14bs Boardwitless -12lbs cad1 - 21lbs charlotte k 14lb DappyMare - 18lbs Doubledebra - 14lbs -5.2lbs off 8lbs to go eyeontheprize - 10lbs fatandfedup 14lbs Kaceyboo- 18lbs Kate+Matt - 14lbs Lexy1972 - 10lbs (1lb...

I'm no expert but I think there is usually a small gain of water/glycogen (not sure if spelt right) when you come out of ketosis but because you are consuming so few calories it will come off again in the next few days/week so don't panic. Well done on your loss BTW - fantastic :D x

Good luck to your DH, you must have really motivated him with how well you have done :) x

That's fab hon and I know you really wanted to have lost 2 stone before your fertility meeting so that's brilliant!!!! xxx

Day 3 - done and dusted :D Now I only have day 4 and most of day 5 then I will go quiet for a couple of days as I have a planned off-plan weekend. Most weekends I do 810 and manage to stay in Ketosis (or get back in very quickly) but what I have struggled with recently is getting back into SS...

Hi Hobekat, I am the same height at you and a similar weight to you now. I am aiming to lose another stone and a half to get to a size 10 (top and bottom). Just because we are the same height we could be very different for example I am a 12 down below now and mostly a 14 up top. This is the...

well done hon, good loss after a blip like that :) - here's to completion of day 3 SS! xx

Thanks NettyJ, that is probably the thinnest picture I have of me. Stuck it on the fridge pre-CD when i was just trying to 'eat healthily' and it made no difference! I do look at it regularly though for inspiration! x

Thanks Nicole, I guess having read that I didn't mean i am happy to go up and down within 7lbs. BUT if I am happy at a weight of say 10 - 10 and a half then it means if I reach the top end of that I do something about it straight away. I would ideally love to get to a weight i am really happy...

Hi Fanaloulou - you can always join the thread posted by me (I did it - second day 100% SS) there are a load of us on there and we are taking SS day by day. Great to log onto when you need some encouragement daily??? x

I lost 4 stone and put 3 back on. Don't ever want to go through it again so have made the following committments to myself: - I will reach goal this time of between 10 stone and 10 and a half. - I will work up the plans when the time is right with my CDC - I will learn from my blips - I will...

When people say to me don't lose anymore I go home strip naked and take a look in the mirror. That gives me the motivation to carry on. We all look better dressed but until I feel happy with myself naked I will NOT stop!!! x

Hey hon, me too. Lost 4 stone with LL 3.5 years ago and put 3 stone of it back on. Now on CD and have lost just over 2 stone and want to lose another stone and half! WE CAN DO IT!!!! xx

I'm weighing tomorrow morning as my CDC is away but our scales are pretty much the same. Let me/us know how you get on Tif - good luck honey xx

Hi Guru, I've posted this before to say when I did LL first time I did 100 days SS (no cheating at all). One week I lost a 1lb and the following week I only lost 1.5lbs and was GUTTED but kept my faith in the diet and kept going..... the 3rd week I lost 8lbs, so a total of 10.5 in 3 weeks...

Well done Tif - loving this thread as a motivator..... here's to day 3 for us! Good luck to those that are on day 1 or 2 and a HUGE congrats to Guru on day 27!!!!! xx

Hi hon.... just wait and see how you get on tomorrow and drink as much water as poss today. My scales on SS will sometime stick for days and then just drop by around 3lbs!!! So it might jus happen tomorrow. If it's not a great loss might be worth cutting back the bars, I am better if I only have...

Thanks ladies.... the slimmer pics are definitely a motivator. I'm lucky that I tan easily - not that we've had much sun yet this summer - boo hoo! x

Morning all you lovely ladies - thought I'd update this thread as a few of us are on it and seem to be finding it quite motivating! Well I did it yesterday - completed day 2, it was tough and there were times I thought I might cave, then thought of you guys and this thread and managed to get...

Hey hon.... 3lbs is fab and so is 11.5 I can't wait to be there. 50lbs is amzing you should be so proud of yourself :) keep at it buddy xx
