I thought I would report back on my progress, I have settled on 210lbs for now I just feel my target of 192lb was unrealistic for my frame, I might revisit this in the future. In April last year I met a wonderful and beautiful young woman and we have been together since then, I doubt it would...

2.8lbs lost this week which is slightly above average. Less than 4lbs to go and I reach a BMI of 30 and no longer obese!

Only half a pound lost last week, still not a bad result seeing as I stuffed my face with Easter day lunch with all the trimmings, Easter eggs and wine :D

Thank you Cheryl :) I have just bought a suit with a 42" chest jacket and 36" waist trousers. This time last year I was wearing s suit with 48" chest and 46" waist. It has suddenly struck me that I have almost cracked it :eek: This little corner of the internet gave me more inspiration than...

Well I dropped 3.3lb this week which was better than I expected given the slow start, water retention perhaps? Anyway back into the swing of things. It is boring and tedious but it works and I feel so much better health wise than I did, I am glad I started.

My weight has stubbornly refused to move this week after my travels; first small fall today of 0.2lb! Probably just my body readjusting to being back on the diet?

Back from an extended trip overseas and back on the regime, managed to maintain my weight at least although it has put me back a month.

After only losing 1.5lb last week, this week I have dropped 3lb in three days :confused:

I have lost 5 stones :bliss:

You look great, well done :)

Well done Kim, the discomfort will be well worth it in the end.

Only 1.5lb lost this week which I suppose compensates for the better than average 3lb last week. I have been ... ahem .. a little "irregular" this week so have upped the fibre and water intake! Getting the hang of Ebay, I sold four shirts, two coats, jacket, two suits and three rugby shirts...

Thanks everybody; this inspiration from this forum and the pats on the back I have recieved have really helped me do this :wavey:

That's a great effort especially as she had no support.

A wonderful achievement very well done :)

Well I never thought I would end up posting in the "success stories" section but as I am a couple of pounds shy of losing 5 stones ... hey why not? Me at 21 stones and today at 16 stones Set myslef a target of another two stones so another picture in three or four months :)

Me at 21 stones and at 16 stones

Another week gone another 2lb lost. I like the 2lb a week rate rather than the 3lb a week rate; OK it will take a bit longer but I find as I am getting closer to my goal my body seems to need a bit extra fuel.

I have just eaten a Weight to Go Chilli Con Carne with half a Savoy cabbage yum yum. I added a bit of vinegar and Peri-Peri sauce to the chilli just to pep it up a bit. I could eat this combination every day :D

Back from my trip the same weight as I went ... result :) Went easy on the booze and avoided carbs as best as I could. Back on the regime. I added another target; 222lb or a 70lb / 5 stones loss. I can't remember exactly when I was last that weight, 1990 perhaps? Thought it would be a good...

Another steady week and another 3lb gone, I feel really comfortable at this rate and it does allow me to have the occasional "normal" meal. The Weight to Go diet really does work and as yet I haven't got bored with the food packets. They have also made it easier to order the seperate items...

Great you have started; keeping a diary on this forum really helps as does the encouragement and pats on the back you get from members. It has made a big difference to my attitude after several failed attempts in the past.

It is good to be back on my diet after overseas trips, Christmas and New Year halting my progress. Two weeks in and a loss of two and a half pounds a week, a nice sustainable rate. Clothes! An expensive side effect of the diet is having to constantly buy new clothes, everything from T-shirts...

I have reached my 231lb milestone, this was my weight in 1999; I feel elated yet annoyed I allowed myself to pick up the weight in the first place!

Jenny good that you have started again :) I guess your challenge is maintaining your weight given you have proved you can lose it in the past! That's something I will have to face when I reach my goal.

Thanks Sophie :) Well I have come through a difficult period, some 6 weeks of overseas business trips plus Christmas and New Year. Whilst my weight loss has stalled I managed to maintain 235lb. I have three weeks or so before my next business trip (only about a week in duration hopefully) so...

Well I bit the bullet and stepped on the scales this morning. With some relief I saw there was a small weight loss despite the one month gap and the extended business trip :) With luck I should hit the 231lb milestone by the end of the year

Well I am back after another business trip, I was away for a month and ate and drank I tried to avoid carbs but the booze :( I am not going to weigh myself for a week :D

Another 2 week business trip is about to start! I know I have to earn a living but it really is irritating the way it affects my weight loss. Good excuse not to drink on this trip as I am on antibiotics for an ear infection :D

The weight I picked up on my trip has dropped off me, must have been glycogen and fluid I suppose?? I am now back to my pre-trip weight and the only downside I suppose is that it will take me a couple of weeks longer to reach my goal weight. :)

My sister has dropped 40lb losing half to one pound a week don't get despondent!!

Good luck Penny :) I think you misunderstand; her username is not the diet!!

Thanks purple and sunshine :) I came off the rails on my trip :D whilst I did avoid food carbohydrates most of the time the beer and wine got me, and the steaks, and the fish, and the general bonhomie of my various business contacts. 4lb could have been worse I suppose and I suspect it will go...

4lb lost this week, which is better than the 2.7lb and 2.5lb of the previous two weeks. It will be twelve days before I can weigh myself again ..... panic!!

You are doing really well sunshine and I don't blame you for sulking over your lack of Chicken Kiev!! It's a hard thing you are doing but it is worth the pain, every time I feel low I look at my graph and re-empahise to myself that each day of sacrifice is one day closer to the time I can lead a...

A third of the way there TFMD ... nice one :)

Best of luck Erica

Thanks Mini, half-way I can hardly believe it! It has helped coming on here from time to time to realise I am not the only one and to read the accounts of people who have shed the pounds. Thanks for the advice funnily enough I have been so single minded about this weight loss I actually feel...

I am heading overseas for two weeks on a business trip, it will be hard sticking to a diet and avoiding alcohol ... I hope I don't do too much damage!

2.5lb lost last week and 5lb the week before; I don't understand why I lost 5lb it seems a lot for a week and at this stage of my challenge. Weekends remain hard, I went to watch rugby on Saturday and despite all the p*ss taking I stuck to drinking diet Coke. Boy did I want a pint of cold...

You are making good progress but tell me, what is a syn!!?

Good luck Helen, starting is half the battle! :)

Two milestones today :D I have lost three stones and have reached my first target of 250lb. I am now the same weight as I was five years ago and still heading in the right direction.

Hey my 50th post :whacky068: What extra's do I get?

I won't miss it :) What will I think about? Maintaining my weight and getting fitter :D

If you are working out you could be adding muscle mass, are you using a tape measure to see if there are any changes in body shape? Narrower waist etc?

Thanks for posting the links, I will give it a try :)

Well done Pink it's great moving down a size :D I have just bought some shirts two sizes smaller than my last ones it was really satisfying and I had more to choose from

Cravings are tough ... mine is hot buttered toast, that's all I miss really ... and a glass or two of Chablis perhaps ... not with toast though :D I treat myself with a piece of steak once a week it gives me something to look forward to!

Jim having just read through your thread it is very inspirational; well done and another 4 to 5 months I will be there :D

Well said every day you suffer is a day less to reach your goal.

Well done Ian :)

Ellie thank you :) even though I am feeling fitter and already look 100% better, comments like yours really help because this is still quite a tough thing to do mentally.

Have a nice time :)

Ellie this is a damn hard thing to do so well done for focusing on the positives! :cool:

On the Weight to Go diet, three milkshakes a day form part of the programme. I really struggle with these so looked around for a solid alternative. Having once been very fit (believe it or not!) and with knowlede about weight training I decided to look at bodybuilding supplements. I found a...

I should have guessed coming from Hull!

Seven weeks in and still progressing :) The weekly weight loss has settled down to around 3lb a week; which seems to be about right using these assumptions. a = (Steady State) = 2500 Cal * 7 days = 17,500 Cal b = (Calorie Intake) = 1000 Cal * 7 days = 7000 Cal a - b = c = (Calorie...

Well done Alex :)

Well done James a good start :) as former tight-head my post playing days challenge was a good 70lbs more than yours :D going well so far and not a fake blood capsule in sight.

My struggle with the milk-shakes continues, I am all vanilla now which is an improvement, even so I have tried everything including freezing them! The breakfast time shake is the one which really gets to me so I replaced it with a low calorie protein bar from a bodybuilding suppplement...

Well done that's a great start :)

3.7lb lost in the week so a slowing from my ~5lb a week average. Still heading in the right direction and managing to stick to the diet. I have just ordered another 4 week box (plus a fifth week free) from Weight-to-Go. This time I have adjusted the box and all the soups will be pea and ham...

Just passed one-third of my targeted weight loss :bliss:

I am having my mid-morning snack .... another *bleep* *bleep* milkshake. How I hate milkshakes :sigh:

Well done, it is inspiring to read.

Well done Pink Punk a great achievement and very inspirational :)

You have past the first hurdle by starting, well done Red Rose

Sparkling I found the first few days are the worst, once ketosis sets I felt a boost of energy and the headaches went away. I weigh myself daily but always around the same time when I get up in the morning. I find even seeing a small loss helps me keep on the straight and narrow.

Well done Bren, I also find busy is a good way to stop the nibbles, that and Twinings fruit teas and infusions; if the lads could hear me now lol

Four weeks done and 2st 1lb gone :party0049: 5.1lb lost this week. Cracking the 2 stone mark has given me a boost as this week was a bit of a struggle. I can comfortably fit in 42" waist trousers rather than uncomfortably fit in 44" and I have also gone down a jacket size to 48" and two collar...

Sounds to me if she has drunk too much water, there's an explanation here: Water Intoxication & Hyponatremia

Thanks "annie" and "kaz" your support helps to keep me going. A strange week this week, 2lb lost in four days so the rate of loss continues to slow; still heading in the right direction though :) I had to do a business lunch yesterday which threw me a bit! I settled on grilled chicken breast...

Well done Kaz, especially at McD's!!

Thanks Gem :D last night was hard ended up drinking lots of ginger and lemon tea, some saturday night lol Well it is now three weeks and 22.8lb gone. The precipitous weight loss of the first two weeks has stabilised with 5.9lb being lost in the third week. I guess my body has finally woken up...

Thanks bangles, exercise? Just walking whenever I can :)

21lbs gone and now at the weight I was two years ago; a good milestone.

Two weeks in and 18lb gone :) 7lb in my second week! Psychologically the Friday and Saturday are definitely the worst days but I managed to get through them with only one minor transgression.

Cheers Minime :) I could murder a slice of hot buttered toast with Marmite! I am standing firm, where's my glass of water?

Lost 2.7lb since Sunday morning, I am relieved the rate of loss has slowed down, losing 11lb or so in the first week worried me a bit. Do I feel hungry? Funnily enough I don't which is good and I am enjoying the food supplied by WTG. The shakes .... a necessary evil, I am fed up of them...

Thanks Porgeous; your pictures are inspirational!

Week one over :D I wish I could say it was easy, Friday and Saturday were the worst, boy did I want an ice cold lager yesterday! 11.1lb loss is a lot more than I expected and doubt it will be repeated next week, I think I would be worried if it was! I haven't felt weak which was an initial...

Hi from John; I have been on Weight To Go for five days and it is getting a little easier. Started at 289 lb and have a goal of 209lb and am currently 280lb.

I have finally decided to do something after months if not years of vacillation and excuses. I was a rugby player and pretty big to start with although all muscle and bone :p. Since an injury forced retirement I have ballooned from my fighting weight of 230 lbs to 292 lbs and have set myself a...
