Hi and congratulations on reaching your target. There's nothing quite like being slim is there? :) I weigh myself twice a week - if I go up by more than 2 lbs, I cut down on the calories for a couple of days. I allow myself treats now and then, but I'm never going back to how I used to eat...

Fantastic - well done, you're looking great.

Well done, that's a great loss. You're definitely going to do it - it'll change your life forever. Go Girl:)

I lost it by calorie counting and healthy eating. I've been on loads of diets before - slimming world, weightwatchers, cambridge, cabbage soup, etc., etc., But this time I knew I had to change my eating habits in the longterm, otherwise the weight would just go back on again. I have a couple...

So far I've maintained for 2 months:) I weigh myself every couple of days at the same time. I tend to fluctuate up and down by a couple of lbs, but so far I've been eating fairly sensibly, exercising loads and have stayed the same. If I go up more than 2 lbs, I plan to be strict for a few days...

Just wanted to say hello. Sounds like you have a good exercise plan, but you will need to get a good diet plan going as well! If you have a look round the forum, you'll see loads of different diet plans - there'll be one that will work for you. Just take your journey at half a stone at a...

Hi Stevie You've done so well, with just a little blip over Christmas. I've managed to stay the same - eaten more, but increased my exercise more.

Hi Katrina. I've tried lots of diets in the past - from cabbage soup to Cambridge and lots inbetween:o This time I decided that I wanted to get the weight off and keep it off so and keep it cheap:). Calorie counting and healthy eating plus exercise has worked for me. Good luck with your...

Hi Jen - you can do it. It's great to think of yourself for a change - you'll be the person you want to be by the time you are 28. xx

Hi - how are you doing? 4ft 7in & 6stone really is tiny! I always wanted to be petite :cry:Hope you are getting on ok.

WTG - f-a-n-t-a-s-t-i-c

It's the luck of the draw whether you are left with much excess skin or not. It's much, much better to have a bit of excess skin than a load of excess fat. Exercise will definitely help. Good luck with your journey.

Big, big hug. CatCrazy is right - please, please go back to your doctor and take a print off of your post with you. I can't imagine what you must have been through, you are now among friends.

Hi Trefoil - I think I am being particularly thick today :o as I am not sure what your target is? If it is 10st 3lb - that seems pretty light for your height.

Hi Sarah! You sound soooo sensible. I'm sure you'll do really well and lose the weight. I've tried lots of diets in the past, but this time I wanted to lose a lot of weight and keep it off, so I opted for calorie counting, healthy eating and increasing my exercise and it's worked for me...

16to10 - fantastic achievement - well done. LincsBren - I love your mini goals - they are so like mine! Those 5lbs will be gone soon.

Well done - bet you feel fantastic.

Oh - can I join in? I've done Slimming World. Was successful first time round, but then ate too much free food. As soon as I was told I could eat as much pasta, potatoes, rice, etc. as I wanted - I ate shed loads of it. As soon as I was told I couldn't have something because it was high in...

Well done for losing the weight you put on while you were on holiday. Bet you look super slim now.

Well just look at you! You look absolutely f-a-b-u-l-o-u-s. (Who's the rather frumpy lady on the left btw:p) Bet you've been hitting the clothes shops, like me... x

Hi LindseyD Maintenance was the bit I was most worried about too. A couple of friends weigh themselves twice a week and if they've gained more than 2lbs, they are good for a few days. So that is my plan. There is no way I'm putting it all back on again.... x

Hi everyone - welcome to the CC. It's the only thing that's ever worked for me (and I've tried all sorts:o). How's everyone doing?

WOW - Well done, you look so different already. Fantastic xx

Hi Vixter Well done on your weight loss so far - you're doing really well. How about doing what I did - just set yourself a target of half a stone at a time. I had nearly 7 stone to lose when I started my weight loss journey and couldn't face thinking about the whole amount and decided that...

You're so determined, you'll soon be back to where you were. Bet you had a great holiday though:)

I'm a Wii fit plus fan too. Tried the EA sports active, but there was too much jogging for my dodgey old knees:o. Will be interested to find out if version 2 is different.

Hi Mudbabe. Sorry about your Grandad. Your calorie counting sounds like a good plan - good luck

Wow - everyone's doing so well. Awaken Me - 152 lbs is an incredible loss:patback:

F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S

Thanks everyone. Couldn't have done it without this place - so many inspirational stories, especially you, Jim:)

Hi CoconutCookie. Good luck with your weightloss journey - see you in Calorie Counting too. x

WOW SaladDays, you're doing great. xx

Good luck with the weigh in this morning Nee. Really hope the scales reflect all your hard work & determination. x

Yes - I'm just 3lbs off target. Can't quite believe it. 10 years ago I was this weight and then my life unravelled big time and I ate too much and drank too much - I was a complete comfort eater/wine drinker. This year, I decided to lose weight for myself. I couldn't have done it without this...

Are you ok Lozzy Gozzy? No one can understand what it's like to be overweight, unless they've been there themselves. That's awful that your family make fun of you - keep your chin up. x

Having avoided having my picture taken for so long, I was horrified when my daughter snapped me without my knowing about it. And she posted it on Facebook:o:o. It gave me the shock I needed as I was in complete denial about my weight. The other photo is me today - another back view just to...

3lbs :) Have lost 93lbs :):)

Hi Syren - welcome to calorie counting! Sorry that you put the weight you lost back on, but well done for getting back on track again. WEMITTs is a great forum as well. Especially Nee's thread - heehee

Chinababe & Bubblebum - I'm glad I'm not the only one! I know you are only supposed to eat until you are full, but as soon as I knew the food was free, I kept scoffing it, full or not! I'm now almost at goal and have done it by calorie counting and eating healthily. Good luck and enjoy your...

Hi guys - welcome to CC. Chinababe - I know just what you mean. I was exactly the same on the SW plan. I just ate so much free food, cos it was "free". This time I decided to stick with what I know - if you eat less calories than you need, you'll lose weight - and I have:) Also, I do love...

Thanks Guys. Laura - well done! And well done to everyone who weighs less than when they started the challenge - every lb off is a bonus. I feel as if I have my life back again.

How's everyone doing with the challenge? I can't believe it, but I've done it:) Lost 51 lbs since I joined in with this challenge. :)

Hi Tink! You want to lose the same amount as I did nearly 6 months ago. I've managed to stick to cc, healthy eating and exercise. I had lots of false starts, but this time I've managed to stick to it. 800 calories is definitely too few for you to stick to in the long term, especially if you...

Hi LucyLou. How are you doing? You sound as if you are really motivated and determined. Hope it goes well for your. x

Hi Ali - don't give up. I know it seems such a long journey, but if you just take it half a stone at a time, you'll get there. I'm reaching the end of my journey and I feel like I have my life back again.

Hi Katie & Welcome. You've definitely come to the right place for lots of support. Which diet are you thinking of following? There's loads of help and advice and inspiration on here. Good luck with your weight loss journey.

Hi AviX. I've tried to lose weight before and have had a go at WW, SW and one of the VLCDs. This time I decided to calorie count, eat healthily and have a change of lifestyle, rather than diet as I want to make sure I keep the weight off. I have just taken it a half stone at a time. If you...

Oooh - that's unfair. Gaining that when you didn't go too mad. You'll soon shift it again...

I could never do that - I've never gone a whole day without food - think I would collapse in a heap! Don't you just put the weight back on when you start eating again? Do you drink lots of water? Lots of questions cos I'm interested...

Thanks Lass :) & Well done Lynn - you're almost there. When I started my weight loss journey, I took it half a stone at a time and never looked at the whole amount. Small steps and all that!

I've managed it. Couldn't have done it without this forum tho

Hi Hun - glad you had a good hols and you only put on 2lbs - wow. x

Hello! I've tried all sorts of diets before, but this time I was determined to shift the weight and decided to go back to plain & simple calorie counting. I've tried to eat loads of fruit and veggies and stick to a low fat diet. Good luck with your journey - just think how good you'll look in...

Hi Hannah. No one on here will think you are lazy or feeling sorry for yourself. I started my diet on 30th April at 18stone 4 lbs. I am now 6 stone lighter. I've tried lots of diets before and failed after a day or two. I've found calorie counting works for me. Perhaps Cambridge isn't for...

You're definitely not alone. I started with over 6 stone to lose on 30th April. I was honestly thinking about gastric surgery - but my BMI wasn't high enough:o:rolleyes:. Got on the scales and I was over 18stone. I've now lost 6 stone. Feel I've got my life back. You can do it.

Hi Lucy - you'll definitely do it! I've never heard of SureSlim - are you finding it a good plan to follow?

Hi Happygolucky. You've still done really well. You'll soon lose those 3lbs again.

Hi Nee - you are doing so well. Here's some positive thinking: You will NOT be a fat Bridesmaid, Friend or girlfriend, you WILL feel good, believe in yourself and acheive this long goal you have forever dreamed of!! Go girl x

Hi Miss Mango! If you google BMR calculator, you can work out your BMR. This will give you the amount of calories you need per day, if you did absolutely nothing but rest all day. In my case, it is about 1500. If you multiply the result by between 1.2 and 1.9 (1.2 being a sedentary lifestyle...

Hi Mrs. S. You've got a great goal - a baby:) What diets have you tried and why didn't they work for you? Good luck with your journey.

Congratulations - you are on your way! Maybe just think about half a stone at a time rather than the whole amount? That's what I did. Good luck - you will do it.

Good luck Nee - you can do it! Just focus on how fab you will look at the wedding next summer:)

Hi Kat and welcome. You'll get lots of support from here. SW is great as you won't be hungry and it teaches you to make healthy choices. Good luck with your journey.

Hi Hun... get yourself some new scales and also a new friend ;) I got some new digital scales at the start of my diet and try & weigh myself no more than twice a week and always at the same time of day. Make sure the scales are on a hard floor, not carpet. My Wii fit says I'm a 1lb lighter...

Hi Lisa. If you google BMR calculator, you can work it out exactly. As posted, 3500 cals equals 1 lb of fat. Good luck - cal counting is easy and it does mean you can eat what you like - but not quite as much as you might like.

Hi Clare - welcome! & Congrats on baby number 2:) I'm calorie counting (same as points really) because like you I am really fussy and like the fact that I can eat what I like, not just as much. The hunger definitely passes - If I feel peckish, I munch on fruit or have a yoghurt. It's worked...

Hello everyone. I haven't posted here for a while - joined this challenge on 30th June with another 56 lbs to lose and I am now down 34 lbs - so (just) 22 to go. Hope everyone is ok?

Hello to you both - you've come to the right place to find help, support and inspiration. The weight loss challenges are great too. Good luck with your journeys.

Hi Bunny Hops. I have a Wii Fit plus and love it. I also have joint problems - one knee has been operated on, so I have to be very careful. The EA sports active is too high impact for my knees as there is quite a bit of jogging in it, but the Wii Fit plus is brilliant. I'm sure it has helped...

Please don't be disheartened - you've done incredibly well so far. And a weight loss of 1lb a week is a weight loss! If you BMR is 1500 cals a day, and you are eating 1200, then you will lose approx 1 lb in 10 days - so you are on track! The diet I have been following is based on calorie...

Hi Lauren. Good luck with your weight loss journey. xx

No journal I'm afraid. I've lost it by calorie counting and eating as healthily as possible. No processed food, no alcohol :cry:, no bread. I have lots of veggies, salad, fruit & lean protein. There are lots of good ideas and recipes on here that have really helped me. A loss of 10lbs in 4...

Hi rhi.b. Good luck with your weight loss journey - you've done it before, so you can do it again. I stick to 1000 cals a day, but I don't count any veggies (except potatoes) or milk in my coffee. So probably have around 1200. Seems to be working for me. xx

Hi Happygolucky - how are doing? I really admire your determination. Good luck with your weight loss journey.

Hi tubbymummy - welcome to the world of calorie counters;) Karen - I'm with you - I have never eaten breakfast and just can't face eating in the morning. Doesn't seem to have done me any harm. I stick to 1000 a day, but I don't count any veggies (apart from pots), berries or milk in coffee...

You must feel like the bottom has dropped out of your world. Big hug coming your way.

Hi Eddiesmum. The best thing to do is to calculate your BMR (google BMR calculator). This will give you the amount of daily calories you can eat without gaining or losing weight. Starting on 1400 a day and gradually reducing the amount to 1200 sounds like a good plan. I was on SW some years...

I don't count the calories in veg (apart from pots). I don't eat the ones that have more sugar in them anyway. When I used to go to SW, some veggies were super-slimming which meant that it took your body more calories to digest them than were actually in the veggies.

Hello! I used to follow SW, but found I was eating way too much free food and my weight loss stopped. Calorie counting suits me much better as I feel more in control. If you calculate your BMR (google BMR calculation), this will give you the amount of calories you can eat a day without...

Hello and welcome! Well done on your 7lb loss - brilliant start. Good luck on your weight loss journey.

Hello and welcome! Good luck on your SW journey. xx

Hello - 6.5lbs is a fantastic loss. Well done - you must be really pleased. Good luck to you and to hubby too. x

Hi and welcome! Which diet are you planning to follow? Good luck with your weight loss journey. x

Hello & welcome! You have come to the right place as you are now amongst friends! I know just how you feel - it is horrible having low self esteem and constantly worrying about being overweight. I've tried all sorts of diets in the past, SW, WW & Cambridge. But I find calorie counting suits...

Hi Gemma I've dieted with SW in the past and lost some weight, but I much prefer to stick to calorie counting. I've lost quite a bit in under 4 months. I can eat whatever I like, I just have to add up the calories. I found SW didn't suit me - but calorie counting does and it works out pretty...

Agree - try not to be disappointed. Are 100% positive you are counting the calories correctly? The only other thing that really helps is to drink loads of water. It really does make a big difference.

Great achievement! My Wii fit is 1lb less than my scales and my diet club scales - so near enough accurate. I love the Wii fit and walking. You are on your way - fantastic.

Hi Nyssa. I've also tried CD and just couldn't hack it - I craved tomatoes:confused: Your healthy eating plan with exercise is a great way to lose weight and obviously worked for you before, so will again. I have found that calorie counting is the right way for me to lose weight as if I want...

Yes - definitely sounds about right - you should lose steadily on that amount of calories a day and have a great holiday.

Well done - 3.6 lbs is a good loss. Are you finding cc easy?

Call me a cynic, but there's not much money to be made out of calorie counting and healthy eating diets;)

Well done - a really good first week. My Wii fit puts me at 1 lb less than my diet club scales, so I think they are fairly accurate.

Hello! I didn't know crumpets were that low - must put them on shopping list asap.

Once you've had your first WI and seen that the diet is working, you'll definitely feel more positive. And it does get easier - let us know how much you have lost.

Hello Popcorn! Well done for starting your journey again. I lost weight with SW and put it all back on and more. I find calorie counting much easier and it works!

:oluckily not much of a jelly belly:o But then you've lost over twice as much as me & only taken 6 weeks longer.... Are you sure you've actually been dieting and not had a sneaky gastric bypass or band?;) Seriously though - the amount of weight you have lost in such a short period of time...

34 waist and a medium - wow. I think we can safely say you are an ex-fatty now:) You've done brilliantly.

Well done Stevie - you've reached 29 BMI :553:. You have done fantastically well in such a short time. Bet a lot of your friends don't recognise you now. Have you bought all new clothes yet??

Thanks LindseyD:) Am so determined this time to lose weight after years of trying and failing... can honestly say I haven't come off my diet once.... so far;)

Hi Slim - I've been calorie counting for just over 4 months and have lost just over 4 stone:D It definitely works for me. I tried SW in the past, but ended up eating too much free food and as soon as I thought I couldn't have a certain food, I wanted it. With CC you can have whatever you...

Hi Madchef and well done on your weight loss so far:clap: I set myself a half stone goal. So I don't ever think of how much I've got to lose in total, just the next half a stone. I've got 6lbs to lose for my next half stone, and so on. I find this works for me! (Plus I have a photo of a...

Thank you Ronsy:o Don't know if I could have stuck to it without the support on here. It's great to know that we are all in the same boat.

Another 3lbs off for me this week. Can't remember when I last put my WI on here:o but when I joined this challenge I had 56lbs to lose before my goal and now 39lbs to lose - so going in the right direction:) Hope everyone is ok

Hi Polly and welcome. Brilliant that you know what works for you and that the weight will come off. Do you fancy joining in with a couple of challenges? They're really motivating and you'll get lots of support. We are the same height - so we'll both be tall and slim at the end of our journeys:D

Hi Lindsay - count me in. I love these challenges lindseydodd408 + 7lbs Meltdown 7lbs Total pot = 14lbs starting week beginning Monday 26th July. My WI day is Tuesday, so I'll start then if that's ok.

Fantastic weight loss. Well done on being so determined.

Hi Yo-Yo You could be writing about me. For years I've dieted, lost weight and then put it on again and more. The last few years I've lost count of the times I've started a diet only to fail by lunchtime. I also looked into having a gastric band, but wasn't heavy enough:rolleyes: and...

I've now lost.....50lbs :D:D Have lost 10lbs since joining this challenge and have another 46lbs to go before I get to my target.

That's a great goal to aim for. Good luck - you can do it!

StevieW - you've done incredibly well. How many calories a day are you having?

Hi! I'm calorie counting and it's working for me. I'm also eating much, much healthier foods - lots of fruit, veggies, lean chicken, etc. Once I've lost the weight, I am determined that I am not going to put it back on again this time.

Hello Size102b 1000 calories a day for me is fine. I go to a slimming clinic and see the doctor there every 3-4 weeks. They are very happy that I am losing the weight so quickly! If I get stuck and don't lose for a couple of weeks, I will increase my calorie intake to 1250-1300 a day and then...

Hello! I started cc on 30th April and have lost 45lbs in 10 weeks. I've tried WW and slimming world before - but ended up eating too much and although I lost weight to start with, I got stuck. I've bought some of those body analyser scales, which work out how many calories you can eat a day...

Hi and well done for joining SW. You've made a huge first step. This time next week you will be lighter than you are today:D. I started my journey with a lot to lose and I just think of the next half stone, never the big picture - it's just too daunting. I love the challenges on here and the...

Good luck - how are you getting on? Calorie counting is the only way for me

I did keep a food diary the first couple of weeks, but not now as I tend to eat the same sort of things every day. I am soooo fussy. And I never have breakfast - which I know is a cardinal sin - but I just can't eat in the morning, never have been able to.

Hi Kas I never have more than 1000 cals a day. Sometimes 800. I try and get on the Wii fit every day too. My Dr. told me to lose the weight as fast as possible as I am healthy in every other way. He also said not to eat carbs in the evening. My sister is doing the diet with me, but she is...

Hi Eva. There is a brilliant sticky on the Slimming World part of this site, all about advice for newcomers. Basically, slimming world is about eating healthily and in moderation and stopping when you are full. In my case, I lost quite a bit of weight on it (had a great group of people at the...

Hi there. I've lost 20lbs since 28th April :). Still got a long way to go, but it's a good start. I'm calorie counting - because (as we all know:sigh:) if you eat less calories than you need, you will definitely lose weight. I've done Slimming World in the past and lost a fair bit, but I was...

This is a great challenge. Another 4lbs off for me - so that's 20lbs in total - yippee Fat_to_fab -28lb / -3lb xsarahx -28lb / -3lb / -5lb / -1lb / -3lb / +1lb / -2lb JoeyJoJo As much as poss Tamzy1989 -28lb Stef2009 -28lb / -3 / -3 / -1 / -1 nicolaann - 28lb / -2lb / -5lb/ -1lb / -2lb Sugar -...

Hi Eilean. I've tried all sorts of diets in the past, but the only thing that is 100% certain is that if you eat less calories than you use, you will lose weight (but you obviously know this already;)). If you don't fancy calorie counting, how about Slimming World - at least you can eat what you...

Hello and welcome. This place is really inspiring. I'm in the same boat as you and have a lot of weight to lose. Have a look at Wemitts - you'll find lots of support on here. Good luck in your journey - we can do it!

These challenges are inspiring me! Put me down for another 5lbs off - am really being strict with myself this time.

Well done for joining WW - you can do it!

Week one weigh in tonight and I've lost (drum roll) 9lbs - I am just soooooo chuffed. It's given me a real boost:)

Just had my first weigh in and I've lost 9 lbs :D:D Have added myself to the list - hope this is ok. I am sooooooooo chuffed Fat_to_fab -28lb / -3lb xsarahx -28lb / -3lb / -5lb JoeyJoJo As much as poss Tamzy1989 -28lb Stef2009 -28lb / - 3lb / - 3lb nicolaann - 28lb / -2lb / -5lb/ -1lb Sugar -...

Could I join in as well please? My weigh in day is Thursday. I've got a lot of weight to lose, so I'd like to lose 2 stone by July.

Can I join too? I really feel motivated this time to shift this weight. 2 stone should definitely be achievable.

Hi Coffee Queen & Judith55 I'm just like you, have been trying to get motivated for ages. Every morning I would wake up and think "today I am going to be good", then by lunchtime I would be wavering and in the evening I would be reaching for the wine & crisps and thinking "tomorrow I'll be...

I've got 6 stone to lose :cry:But this is the year I am actually going to do it and keep it off. Have tried SW and WW in the past and it crept back on again. Had a go a CD, but I felt so ill on it so am now going to go for SW again.

Count me in please. 2010 is going to be the year I do it! Goal for this challenge will be 10lbs lost. x

Can I join too. I've got over 5 and a half stone to lose:cry:and just can't seem to get motivated. I need help! Have tried Slimming World and did well on it, but then put it all back on and more. Am going to CC this time.

Hi Elie I've seen my CDC and this is day 1 of my diet. I've a long journey, but I feel I can do it. You've done really well with your weight loss so far.

Good luck - I've just started WW again too. After trying CD, WW is a dream. Good luck!

I'm on day 2 and feeling ok so far - but splitting the shakes, so I can have little and often. Course you can lose 3lbs by this Sunday and by the following one you should be well on your way to your first stone. you can do it:D

I'm on my 2nd day. Feeling ok so far. I am 5ft 11 so can have 4 x soups/shakes a day. We can do it together.

That is fantastic - a whole stone in a week -WOW. It's my first day of SS today - so I'll post in a week's time too. A huge well done

I'm starting SS today - OH is the sort that can eat anything and not put on an ounce:sigh:. I'll stick with you for the next 4 weeks - we can do it!

Hi - starting CD tomorrow. After years of yo-yo dieting, I have 5 stone to lose. Think I can do it this time - I keep reading all your posts for inspiration.

Thanks everyone - think I can do it with all your support.

Just wanted to say hi. Am going to my CDC tomorrow to get started on SS. Have 5 stone to lose. Have been reading all your posts and really want to succeed with this diet.

Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum and am having my free counselling session with LL this afternoon. I have 5 stone to lose - I need lots of support and motivation. So many of you are doing well on this diet - I just hope I can as well:)
