Nettie- I am 16 stone and starting sw on Monday, I also have a similar amount of weight to lose as well, and I too am TERRIFIED of the loose skin factor, since I put most of the weight on my stomach and already have a lot of stretch marks! nik86- hope you dont mind, but can I ask what age...

Yip, my "starvation" diet lol was on day 2, but on day 3 I ate more after your advice. Day one all I did wrong was eat a spoonful of oats instead of oatbran and one muller! I made both these mistakes after going to Tesco for my Dukan shopping, so lack of preparation was not an issue. I checked...

:wave_cry: Its just so frustrating- I had read so many success stories about attack that I was sure this would work for me. I havent been dieting for a long time- in fact the past few months I was a fast-food queen and knew I had to stop! I bought new scales on Monday but couldnt afford to...

Well I though I may as well keep you all updated, in case anyone was wondering- got on the scales this morning and at best, I think theres a pound off. I ate more yesterday and have been drinking plenty. Im now at the point where I wonder whether I should continue today as day four- there just...

yeah i bought new scales on monday when i started but couldnt stretch to the digital ones which were pretty pricey, on top of all the meat and stuff i had to buy! thanks for your kind words dana. i find it very hard because i guess i have learnt that although i eat a lot, its often rice, pasta...

waifos is wafer thin ham. I am going to stick it out til Friday- am determined all this will not be for nothing! and to be honest I will reevaluate then. Maybe tomorrow... to be fair I dont think Ive been to the toilet since I started this so its maybe that! I hope so anyway!

day 3 b- yoghurt with oatbran mixed in, coffee l- packet of waifos (115g i think) snack- 2 salmon breasts dinner- 2 chicken breasts. better?! :) i dont know how else to raise my amount of food- i find it very difficult to eat more meat/fish and i cant eat eggs-yuck!

jezzebel thats super! you must be pleased! i weighed myself when got home from school today but those scales refuse to budge- not a single pound lost on my third day on this! thanks maintainer- will nip over and have a look at your comments now!

Day 3-still nothing! (well I thought maybe a pound but its hard to tell on my scales)

aw thanks- I dont even know how to email on this site tho! Its much harder than I thought too, and walking round supermarkets is positively TORTURE! i never realised how much of a carb queen I am. I am gonna stick it out until Fri and see how I feel then, but I think I might have to switch to...

Hi Jezzebell, I was keeping my eye out today to see how you're doing since we started on same day! I haven't lost anything sadly :( but don't think I have been doing it as well as you!! well done- thats a positive start!

ok thanks Scrumper- will try and eat more for dinner and will have yog and oatbran for breakfast tomorrow :)

Day 2 Attack- B- coffee L- one chicken breast and water Snack- Galette D- Two pieces salmon and diet coke

It didnt really taste like pancake, more like what I imagine dry fried egg would taste like, but I can tolerate it for the better good! I will try to eat more and see what happens. Thank you for the kind advice!

Got the oatbran! Things are on the up! Just made the worlds worst galette but made myself eat it regardless. Find it difficult to eat since its an eggy consistency but maybe Im making it wrong! Today I have eaten one chicken breast and one galette. Gonna have salmon for tea and no yoghurt. Have...

Thank you both for your replies. I am not vegetarian but I don't eat much meat, well I do eat lots of chicken!Just not in the morning!! I have always hated eggs and just detest the texture so I couldnt eat one on its own. I am going to Sainsburys now in search of oatbran. If they dont...

Thank you Atropos- that made me feel a bit better!:wave_cry:

Yes, I read the entire book the night before I started and re-read the attack phase yesterday morning before setting off to tesco.I wouldnt have launched into a diet without knowing the key facts! Tesco didnt have oatbran so I assumed I was buying the right thing because I had seen Mornflake...

Thanks for your advice. It wasnt me who mentioned the carb-free syrups, but I did ahve a spoonful and a half of oats, and only one muller yoghurt, because I heard they were fine. Havent eaten a single thing so far today because I dont know what to have for breakfast- I certainly couldnt eat...

So yesterday was day 1, which I found tricky enough, but I really tried, and as far as I know I didnt do anything very wrong. Having read about other peoples losses, imagine my extreme disappointment when I stepped on the scales this morning and there was no weightloss at all. I am already...

Oh no- I had one!

I had two chicken breasts, and am struggling to drink enough, as I barely remember to drink on a daily basis, but I am doing my very best to meet the quota!! So today I have eaten... a terrible galette,a few slices of ham, and two chicken breasts. will have a yoghurt later. Hmmm. Undecided.

theyre the strawberry and new york cheescake ones. i will eat them anyway- a girl has got to have some small pleasure!making chicken now- feel quite distraught that i will be eating it on its own-seems so unnatural lol!!

oh no! apparently the muller yoghurts i bought have 16.5g of carbs in them- does that mean I cant eat them?

i was wondering about fish too- im assuming this cannot be breaded or battered for obvious reasons? I love breaded fish :( i bought the muller cheesecake yoghurts so i hope they were fine- they were BOGOF!

Hola, it is my first day too and I feel Im doing terrible! Didnt eat anything til about an hour ago because I had to go shopping for everything,and then I was STARVING walking around tesco, then I bought the wrong oats and was so hungry that I tried to make galette with it anyway, and it was...

thank you!

Well thats a bad start :( I followed the galette recipe and used the oats I bought while I was waiting on a reply and it was gross! a very eggy consistency which I will struggle with because I hate eggs! Oh dear! Does anyone know if the "So Juicy" marinades are ok?

Just been to tesco and couldnt find any product that said oat bran, so bought a 2kg see through bag of Mornflake Superfast Oats- is this the wrong thing?

Have decided to try it! Bought the ebook and am starting Dukan today! Wish me luck- I hope I achieve the success that you all have -this forum really is inspirational and I don't feel like I'm embarking on this diet on my own because I know you're all here too!:)

Thank you all for some really useful advice- I will buy the book today and decide over the weekend what to do. I had originally wondered whether it would be a good idea to do the attack phase which is supposed to be six days for me, and then switch to red days on slimming world. which are mainly...

Thank you all- you have all given very helpful advice!

thanks emms- it was helpful. my understanding of dukan is that it is pretty much just meat all the time (i hate eggs) and although I would expect to lose weight on it, I think that such a restrictive diet would have me failing in no time, as I am a pure carb queen. I think Slimming World would...

Hello everyone I have just joined the site and am planning on starting my diet after the weekend. I have about 5.5 stone to lose and have tried several diets over the years, usually unsuccessfully. Everytime I fail, I put a little more weight back on and so I am now the heaviest I have...

Hi, I've heard a lot about the PowerPlate and would like to hear from anyone who uses it- what are the actual benefits and is it all it's cracked up to be?!!

try littlewoods- they sometimes have some nice things in larger sizes!

Thank you all for your helpful replies!! My weight goes mainly on my tummy, I've been asked if when I'm due (!!) a few times over the years, which devastated me, but my arms are thin, so I'm just worried I will be left with folds of skin on my stomach, as it already has stretch marks on it. I...

wow mine is like the smallest one lol- I had my 1st weigh-in yest and lost 3 lbs, however I took water retention tablets yest and wonder was it because of that-therefore not a true representation

Hello everyone, I have a burning question which I've been seriously worried about. I have just completed my first week and lost 3lbs (yay). I weigh 15.8 and would like to get down to 10.7 stone. However, I'm terrified of having loose skin. I'm only 27 and have been overweight and hiding under...
