Ok berry, we will start SS tomorrow. I'm on that step anyway and desperately need to get back on track. Let's do a week 100% and check in throughout the day/evening?
Thanks girls, I just wish I could be where I was a few weeks ago, I still WANT to do it, I just feel like I CANT do it. Its nearly lunch time, I am at work, and I could murder a sandwich with crisps :(
Hi
i have been doing quite well but since time off for my birthday on 24th February I just haven't been able to get back on the diet. Weight wise I haven't done too bad - only put 2lb on but I am eating for England. I won't begin to tell you what I've put away today and I want and need to nip...
Well totally useless start for me :( Very bad week so amazed I even lost 1lb. Here's to next week :)
Melissa85 - 45lbs -5lb (40lb to go)
Mia - 33lbs = -1lb (32lb to go)
Berry - 48lbs
Mrs Dodd - 42lbs
Smurfy85 - 38lbs -2lb (36lb to go)
Emmapetty - 42lbs
CraftyLittleRat - 35 lbs
jubly - 35lbs...
Thanks. We all have our own ways to get through this I suppose. I am still determined to do this but must accept I will slip up now and again. I have to learn to get back on the wagon asap and not let a slip up spoil everything. A 1lb loss on Monday for me would be fab!
So I had 2 chicken legs last night and back on the wagon today (hopefully). Fighting the urge for food, really is hard at the moment, but I would love to shift 5lb to make my loss 2 stone. Wont be this week though lol, however if I swim Friday, Saturday and sunday I might lose. So, 100% and 3 x...
Thanks. I do SS. I don't want to do Step 2 as it is better I take food out of the equation altogether. as soon as food goes in my mouth - that's it, the end !!!
I will get back on it. I know I will, just hard at the moment for some reason. Think slim girls :)
I'm terrible Melissa. I have just had 2 chicken legs. I even ate them in sainsburys car park that's how starving I was. The dogs got the rest so can't have any more lol. Well done and congratulations to you. Wish I was 30!
Eeeeeeee what we going to do :(
Why cant I feel the same enthusiasm as I did at the beginning. I am going to Sainsburys tonight before the gym and I know I am going to buy a cooked chicken because I know I wont rest until I have had it. I just eat the legs and wings and give the breasts to the...
Well, day 52 and I am starving. Decided to do a diary to help me read back on my thoughts, reactions etc and try to find out why I self destruct.
I have lost 23lb with another 33lb to go to goal, so not even half way there yet :(, so why am I sabotaging myself?
Last night I had 2 boiled eggs...
Don't congratulate me too soon Mrs. Dodd lol. I have done it again ............. Arrrrgggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh Why ???????????
I was starving last night and was going to go to asda and get a cooked chicken and eat it, but no, on the drive home I decided to be good - ha!!!! I got home and had 2...
10lb's for me please. Why am I such a slow loser :( :(
Melissa85 - 14lbs
Lucy1980 - 14lbs
Angelupnorth - 10lb
Sai_89 - 20lbs
emmapetty - 14lbs
Mia - 10lb
Hi, I have changed my goal to 33lb rather than 30lb. 33lb takes me to goal of 10st 7lb so don't ask me why I didn't do 33lb in the first place lol. I have started today at 12st 12lb so fingers crossed for everyone. Good luck xx
Melissa85 - 45lbs
Mia - 33lbs
Berry - 48lbs
Mrs Dodd - 42lbs...
I hope you lost forever autumn, I'm sure you have. I know what you mean about keeping the weight into away from you for fear of a negative effect. Every time I start I say ok I will only weigh once a month but I can never do it lol. Imagine getting on the scales after a month and see you have...
Hi everyone, that particular cheat didn't hit the scales fortunately ....... But it was my birthday on Tuesday so had a weekend blow out. Put 2lb on :( so drinking water and swimming like mad to lose at least 3lb by this Monday. Can't try any harder :( xx
Well that's me gutted :( Put 2lb on. Its my birthday today so had a weekend off. Regret it now though. No treats for me today :(
Forever*autumn - 15lb
Melissa85 - 11lbs -7 (4lbs to go)
Tiggemma - 10lbs -1 (9lbs to go)
Lizwhite29 - 8lbs
Emmamb - 14lbs - 10.5lbs (3.5 to go)
Melinwelin - 9lbs -...
Same as me Jayne :(. Lol honey j - stop cheating haha. Yes I love CD mousse and soups so only have Exante shakes. I'm on the 4 a day shakes at moment but sometimes only still have the 3 as the 3 packs are still the same calories as the 3 packs do CD. The 3 a day packs of Exante are 200 cals each...
How am I doing better honey j? How long u been on it? My goal is a big massive ASAP!!!!!!!! Can't wait to get it off. I am a slow loser, usually a good first month then it slows down drastically. Always surprises me that som people can lose like 5lb on week 7 or something. I can't!
good luck xx
Thanks everyone. Uuurrrrgggghhhhh I can taste a big difference Jayne. I am finding them difficult to stomach to be honest. I had a big pack lunch time and smaller ones for tea and supper. I just down them in one lol (lots of practice with that technique over the years with vodka lol)!!
Hi I have just started on the 4 a day packs. I thought they would be exactly the same as the 3 a day packs only with less in. However, they taste totally different. Has anyone else noticed this, or is it me? They are very very sweet and not as nice as the 3 a day. Anyone else tried them?
I have been good forever autumn. I haven't cheated so I am ok at the moment. The hunger passes doesn't it so I am alright now. I will be skinny - I am determined x
I am starving. I think I am going to cry . I really want to be 100% at least until 21st February but after that steak last night I am literally starving x
Monday is my weigh day and I was thrilled to lose 3lb today. But ...... I have cheated tonight. I fried a rump steak and had about 20 after eight mints Do you think if I am 100% for the rest of the week I might get away with it without any damage? Please somebody put my mind at rest coz I feel...
Hi Emma, I remember you from last time. It's my birthday on 24th so it will keep me in check for then lol when I may allow myself a cheeky voddy lol. My weigh day is a Monday so I will not count tomorrow as my first week. So, I would like to lose 10lb in February.
Anyone interested copy and...
HI is there a February challenge started yet? I would start one myself but can't on my iPad. If anyone is interested in starting one off can I join please lol.
Hi I don't have the meal packs, I haven't even tried them. Apart from the fact I don't really fancy them, it's best for me to take food out of the equation altogether. Once I eat food that's it lol. Apart from the odd bar.
yes I always do SS
Thanks EMR :)
Berry1 - No I don't see a consultant except when she comes to my house to deliver my products. To be honest, I do mainly Exante due to cost. I have 3 shakes per day, I don't like their soups or bars that's why I have CD products sometimes. I prefer CD soups, bars and couldn't live...
Hi, I restarted for the millionth time on 12th January but didn't post as I feel like I am a failure, always posting with good intentions and never sticking to them. But .... I've lost 13lb and feel 'in the zone' so have a very good feeling I will stick in this time :)
I am doing both Cambridge...
Thanks everyone. You know what? I am actually scared to weigh myself. Last time I got weighed I was exactly 15 stone :o. Know I have put more on since so scared to do it. I think I will just do the diet for a bit then once I feel as if I have lost something, then weigh myself. At the end of the...
Thank all for your replies. Its funny how when you are living the moment it seems to drag, but then, say 12 weeks later you look back, 3 stone lighter and it seems to have flown. I can only do my best ........ again x
Hi
Some of you may recognise me on and off this forum for 7 years now, and doing the diet, losing stones, putting it back on, losing again - you know where I'm coming from?
Well, I have come to the conclusion that I lose weight better when I am participating in the site. I have tried to do it...
Thanks for your reply Kettyk. I didn't start last week as I didn't feel too good but today is the day!! I have no choice, no clothes fit me, I am wearing more or less the same stuff for work (washed of course :)) and am actually declining invites for nights out because I have nothing to wear and...
Yes, they still keep me in ketosis. I only have Exante shakes as I dont like their soups or bars. I try to keep my calories down so never have 3 Exante products in one day and if I am having a bar one day I will have only Cambridge. I like the Exante shakes, they are thick and filling but only 4...
I do the same with my Exante and Cambridge products. I have been on both Cambridge and Exante and lost weight with both, but now I mix the two and find my losses are no different. I prefer Cambridge flavours but Exante seem to fill me up more.
Well due to putting all the weight I lost before back on (and a few pound more) I am back yet again for another restart. Not looking forward to this week at all but know I will be flying once its over. For the first time ever I am doing SS+. Never done it before so quite looking forward to...
Hi Jackie,
Sorry its taken me so long to reply, after posting and receiving no replies I just stopped looking in. Soooooo, thank you so much for responding to me :)
I piled the weight back on :( - haven't even weighed myself because I am too scared. I am so big and uncomfortable. Had a...
Hi,
I'm no stranger to CWP but have always followed Sole Source. However I have come to realise that this may not be the way forward for me. I tend to go straight back to normal eating after I have lost the weight and end up putting it straight back on again.
I am going to try a different...
Hi - I haven't been online for a while due to my laptop being broken. In that time I am so embarassed to admit that I have put 16.5lb on :wave_cry:.
I am sure I don't have to tell you all the tears I have shed but I eventually plucked up the courage to weigh myself this morning. WHY ????? Why...
Righto, have cheated since Thursday until Sunday, 4 days of pure greed !!! I have put 7lb on :o
So, back on today and hopefully will lose that by next weekend. This is hard !!!!
I know nickbottem. Last year I did this diet and lost loads of weight but started too early and put loads back on just before the holiday hahahaha. I am murder for this diet, every year I do the same thing. Go away and have a good time, the diet will be here when you come back xx
Hi Jackie, I'm...
Thanks Julie, I don't really want to do SS+, I like to take food out of the equation altogether but through experience know that once I start cheating I either have to nip it in the bud asap or that's it!!! I cant wait to get Thursday over lol
I am into my 10th week of SS and only had a couple of cheats along the way, mainly this past 2 weeks, but I am having a "night in" :cupid: on Thursday and becasue I know I am going to eat, I have started cheating. I boil chicken in the slow cooker for my two little dogs and have started to pick...

I am gutted. Week 9 of SS and last night I blew it. Wanna cry. It started on Saturday, my sister's birthday night out. I had very little to drink but did help myself to the nibbles. Got up Sunday morning and straight back on SS, 100% again Monday and then Tuesday it all went to pot.
I am going...
I once went on a 2 week 5* 24 hour AI holiday to Mexico and only put 2lb on. I went to the gym every day and was just careful what I ate and limited myself to only 1 dessert a week. I still had a great time. I admire your dedication but life is for living I say and there is no way I could go and...
Dunno if I will manage the 10lb but I will set my sights high. Got a bad month in May but here goes .........

I was on Sole Source once and I went to an Italian Restaurant with my friends on my way to an Enrique Inglasias concert with food and drink aplenty and asked them to make up my soup lol. They were fine about it as the others spent loads of money and tucked into steak, chips, garlic bread, wine...
I do a mix of Cambridge and Exante now. I have done both Cambridge and lost 3st and Exante and lost nearly 3st. I prefer Cambridge becasue of the variety. I only like Exante shakes and you soon get bored with the same 4 flavours, well 3 really coz the chocolate shake is rank
Another 3lb off for me this week :)

Haven't had the pasta, trying to take 'food' out of the equation all togther. Not a massive pasta lover anyway to be honest. I didn't like Slim 'n' Save at all, but cost for CDWP is very expensive compared to some you can buy with the same results. Sometimes I just can't justify paying it when...
I do a mix of Exante and Cambridge Jackie and it works for me. Exante packs are 200 cals each compared to CDWP at around 135 and they do fill me up too. I buy the bumper shakes pack of Exante and get a months supply for £108 including delivery to your door. I mix with CDWP becasue there is more...
Hiya, I cant seem to copy and past the table for some reason. Could someone please insert the amount I would like to lose please which is 28lb. Thank you x
I have a night out in a few weeks (sisters birthday) and plan on having a drink or three :). What's the best thing you suggest to take you out of ketosis, obviously not calorie laden. What about a biscuit, a slice of toast, although I would rather keep off the bread. Any suggestions for the...
Hi Jackie :D - yes, I had to start AGAIN, can't let myself get any bigger. I have been really good this time round, I am doing a mix of Exante and Cambridge with more Cambridge coz I want to keep the calories down. I like Exante but I think I lose more on Cambridge, the only thing is the cost...
Hi can I join too please. I have my 4th weigh in on Monday and have lost 16lb in 3 weeks. I am 12st 10lb and would like to be 10st 7lb. After the first month I am a very slow loser so 12 weeks probably won't be enough to get me to goal :(
I am the same as toomuch - I drink both coke zero and dr. pepper zero and only have a can. I try not to have it EVERY day but it has never affected my weight losses.
I adore mousse and would eat it even if I wasn't on Cambridge :), but does anyone think the mousse and bars slow down their weight loss?
I haven't been on the plan that long this time around to notice, but have done 84 days on SS before and been on the plan about 3 other times. I am being 100%...
Hi, my weigh in day is a Monday which happens to be 1st April. Do I record my loss on Monday or will the week after be my first loss and that will be week 1? Don't want to cheat lol x
Wish I had the willpower to get weighed monthly. I am not a daily weigher, and if for any reason I do wiegh myself in between I don't really take any notice or record it. My weigh-in day weight is all I really take notice of. It would be great if I could weigh monthly coz I can imagine how I...
Thanks. I am on Exante at the moment (for cost reasons) but have a CD chucked in there now and again just for a change of flavour. When I was last on CD about 2 years ago I was told only 1 bar a day and only 1 mousse a day. I could live on mousse though.
I had mango mousse tonight for tea. It...
Thanks for your quick reply. I think I will take the chance and maybe only take the one. I'm not ill, I've just had a bit bad news this week and it's beginning to take its toll. Thanks xxx
Thanks for your reply Tia. I called a Counsellor last night and she is willing for me to do that. Just a change from the same 4 shake flavours from Extante and it might make me stick to it a bit better if I have more choice. I dont like S n S products unfortunately. Thanks :)
Hi, I am following Exante at the moment but have been successful on Cambridge two or three times in the past. I switched to Exante for cost reasons. I have a query. Do you think a Counsellor would sell me some Cambridge products even though I am not following their plan? I like Exante but would...
Hi Clair, I'm back again too. Started again yesterday and the headaches are killing me already. I have put every single pound back on that I have lost = gutted :(
Sorry to hear your bad news and feel for you. I'm sure you'll shift the weight this time, you are determined. Good luck :) xx
I have been successful on this type of diet a few times (both Cambridge and Exante) and I have started again today for THE VERY LAST TIME !!!
It's taken me ages to get back into it, it's so hard to just get in the zone and actually MEAN it. Hopefully the £108 I have just forked out for my...
I've started again today and am using my old supplies with a date of December 2012. I have chucked a few out from June 2012 which I think is pushing the limit a bit lol :)
Hahahaha gonna take more than water to fix me I'm afraid :(
Know what you mean about time catching up, gotta give it my all now and no more nights out. I can but try x
Girls - massive fail :(
Went our last night (Saturday) and had a curry. Enjoyed every mouthful but came home and was sick. Got out of bed today and felt pretty groggy so had to eat or faint. I had 2 slices of toast. Had a packet of super noodles for dinner and 2 boiled eggs for tea. Oh well...
I totally get where you are coming from so I would appreicate and answers or views on this too. I love this diet once I am into it, but I hate the breath issue, it actually puts me off starting the diet sometimes.
I'm no expert but I don't think it's ketosis which makes you lose weight any...
Thanks Jackie, was taken a few weeks ago at a family party. Hahahaha you and the coach, bet it was panic stations lol but at least you found it and got home safe and sound. I am still 100% and feel ok at the minute. Really really need to get as much off for my hols coz my clothes wont fit...
Hi Jackie, no I am not struggling as such, just having cravings which is only natural coz I'm only on day 3. I get home usually around 5.30 p.m. and it is the most dangerous time of the day from then until about 9.00 p.m. Of course I have 2 shakes in that time (tea and supper) but I still want...
Hello Jackie. I am fine, but taking the antibiotics for an abcess I keep getting. They gave me the wrong type of antibiotic for the first week so then had to take a second course so antibiotics for 2 weeks. Still just taken my last one now. Hope your chest clears up soon. I have left it soooo...
I am aiming for the full stone, but want to lose AT LEAST 10lb :)
Glad you had a good day though, i've had my water too so feel ok with that at the moment. Got a bad head now :(
Righto, home, fed and watered lol. I am fine but hungry at the moment. Shanny I said I felt I had put about a stone on didn't I. Well guess how much I've put on??? EXACTLY TO THE OUNCE 1 STONE :o Gutted !!!! but I am really gonna try to lose at least 10lb before my hols. So sad I was so near...
Hi Jackie and Shanny, at work at the moment so will reply in more detail when I get home but YEAH, still 100%, still feeling positive but absolutely starving to death here.
Dying to get home for a shake :)
It's a case of HAVING to do it Shan. I have got no option but to lose this weight. I cant tell you how annoyed and disappointed I am with myself for dieting all this time then putting it back on before my hols. I fail every time!
So, I am trying to think positive and get through the first week...
God I hope so Shanny, if I have put a stone on I will be 11st 11lb which means I will be 18lb the same as you to goal. But a stone will be fantastic for me to lose in time for my hols.
Yes I will be TS. Having my 3rd shake now, a nice hot vanilla. What plan you doing?
Shannnnyyyyy :D
Yes we will do it together lovely. I can only do my best. Will get weighed tomorrow. My last 'good' weight before I started putting on was 10st 11lb and would guess I have put about a stone on :cry:. I NEED to lose it coz I wont have any clothes for my hols if I dont. Where you...
Hello girlies :)
Don't know why I'm smiling - put a good bit of weight on and back on day 1 today :( - I forgot to get weighed this morning but will do so tomorrow morning to see the damage. Need to lose AT LEAST a stone in 32 days. Going by my past history I probably wont do it, but I'll give...
Heyyyy precious. I am fine thanks. I don't come on here very often now and I received an e-mail to say someone had posted on my diary or else I wouldnt have seen it. I have put nearly 1 stone back on :( - gutted isn't the word but I cant stop eating. My holidays are in about 6 weeks so lost...
Hi Mum2Monkeys, I personally think it's just coincidence. I too have been violently sick for nearly 2 days with the same headache as yourself. So much so, I was thinking of calling the Doctor too. Give yourself a week to get over it and try again. I would, rather than waste your supply...
Hi everyone. Well, the headache still hasn't lifted and I don't feel well at all :( Going to have a bullion soon to try and get rid of the hunger and headache. This is day 6 now so feeling this way is unusual for me after so long. Going to try and stick to 3 today and if I'm hungry treat myself...
Hi Precious :D Well, I'm back and also struggling. I am on day 5 and been 100% as in no food but Exante, but for at least 2 of those 5 days I have had to have 4 shakes, 3 just dont seem to be filling me. I think it's only until I get rid of this bad head which usually lasts about a week so not...
I hope you enjoyed it if that's what you wanted to do, but pleassseeee get back on the wagon. I did the same as you, I was 4lb from goal and had a real pig out starting for my sisters birthday. That was on 4th May and I still haven't got back on track :( - worst thing I ever did. I have put 8lb...
Oh never heard of that diet, will have a look, but the probable diet I will stick to is Weight Watchers. Never lost a great deal on WW to be honest, but it is doable. However, I am jumping the gun a bit coz I need to lose this first hahahaha.
I am embarassed - totally, coz I am all gob, telling...
Hi everyeone, I am doing absolutely terrible :cry: That's the reason I kept off the forum for a few weeks becasue I promise myself I will do it, then I FAIL and I am embarassed. Maybe everyone is right - this weekend isn't the best time to do it :cry:
Hi Richman, I know where you are coming...
Hi HA, I couldn't let it carry on. Got no plans for the weekend so I know I would just spend it eating if I didnt start. Saying that, I haven't been 100% :( - had 3 chocdolate biscuits today.
I feel so uncomfortable and depressed. It may only be 8lb in weight, but I feel like I have put all my...
Thank you.
I don't feel in the zone at all, I am doing it becasue I HAVE to, I can't let the cheating take hold or that's the end of it.
You girls are right thought, get the first few days out of the way and I'm flying :)
Well, I've had my blow-out and now I'm back, ready and raring to go :)
I've put 8lb on and I am disgusted with myself. So, as from today it's all systems go and gonna get my arse in gear big style :)
I am going to have to untick two of my goals which I am soooooo disappointed about, but...
Handbag-annie, thank you, you have popped in and out of my threads and diary since I started my journey this time round :) so you know my struggles. I have come to a decision. I am not gonna post anymore until I am at goal. I am sick of posting negative posts, maybe making other people feel...
I have had 2 weeks off plan and have eaten for England. No matter how guilty I feel, how much the girls here try to motivate me and spur me on, I still can't stop eating. I know I have to get back on the wagon, and every morning I wake up and say 'Today's the day', but it never is!!!! Monday is...
I think that is a fantastic loss for your weight. Yes, the lighter you are the slower it does come off, so 10lb your first week is fab. At your weight do not be suprised at less than a stone a month. Look at my losses, not fast, but they add up at the end of the day. You are doing well and it...
It's above in my details. 16 weeks to lose 3 stone exactly. I don't lose a stone a month like others do, never have, but I kept at it and then failed miserably 4lb from goal :(
My goal is my hols in 3 months time lol, no better incentive than a beach holiday for me :) I have got size 12 tankinis and size 14 dresses for my hols which fitted me last week, havent had the nerve to try them this week haha. I CAN DO THIS AND I WILL DO THIS.
You girls are fab - thank you xx
I don't usually struggle Caroline, I have just had one major blip. However, I do admit I have a problem with eating again. That's why as soon as I am 10st I join a class to keep my weight stable.
Monicab, I think you're right.
Thanks for all your suggestions and opinions girls, that's what...
I can't do SW, WW or any other plan until I am goal. With me, I have to take food out of the equation altogether, that's my problem, once I eat - thats it. I would prefer to get to maybe 10st then join a WW class becasue then my weight will even out. I have to get back into this.
My sister has...
Thanks sammysmiles, but I have had 2 weeks off now lol. I NEED to get back on track or I will pile the whole load back on. I have to discipline myself. With this diet I always play about with it until one day it kicks in and I stick to it. I am hoping day by day that it is going to happen after...
Its going bloody terrible Caroline :( (can hardly type as I am stuffing a creame egg in my gob) !!!
Once these chocolate thingys have gone from my house - that's it. I cant diet with them around. I desperately want to do this, and if I do it now it wont be too later. Pleeasseee let me wake up...
Awwww girls, thank you for your motivational vibes :D Day one, AGAIN, I feel fine but then again I always feel fine coz its only 11.15 a.m. and I am not hungry yet. Stuffed my face AGAIN last night, but I hope to ge on track again from now on. Thank you all again. We are all in the same boat...
I'm with you on that Caroline. I just can't seem to get back on the wagon, so well done for being on day 4. If I was on day 4 I would be well on my way, just need to get over bloody day 1 !!!
Can't face the headaches, the water or even the thought of no food yet I know I HAVE to do it or undo...

Hi Handbag-annie, I have had a week off and trying soooo hard to get back on the wagon but unfortunately, failing miserably. I am fine all day, then once I get home I have been stuffing my face with everything in sight. I just can't seem to face the diet again.
Glad you had a good holiday and...
Yes so close but beginning to lose motivation now. I started again yesterday but finding it very difficult with 12 creame eggs in the fridge - well there were 12 :(
Not doing too good. I desperatly want to get to goal, and under goal actually but just need to get through the first week again...
Good morning! Well, day 1 today -lets get this show on the road and get to goal. I am not going to WI for a couple/few weeks to give myself a suprise when I do eventually get on the scales.
Lanarkwitch - have you lost 11lb in one week :0? Fabulous :D
Hahahaha it's funny you mentioning this becasue this morning I woke up thinking someone was taking their wheely bin out then I realised it was my stomach :D
Good job I am single lol
I am nearly at 'normal' weight and a BMI of 25. I do feel however, that I need to lose more weight, mainly around my middle. I would say though that the BMI is only a guide. I know super fit people who eat healthily, go to the gym, spinning classes, run - everything, yet their BMI is way over...
Hi everyone, thanks for all your encouragement :)
Well, the weekend keeps getting worse lol, I was going to start again today but that never materialised.
Tomorrow IS THE DAY. I had a photo taken on Friday night and if it wasn't me, I would say that girl looked skinny(ish) hahahahaha. I don't...
Hahahahaa all you girls give me a laugh, thanks all for popping to to see how I'm doing. I really appreciate all your comments.
Well, went to Church last night straight from work for the coffin to be taken into the Church overnight. Afterwards my mam asked if I wanted to share a Chinese - she...
Thank you so much Precious, that's so kind. I don't know what I am going to do yet. I have 2 social occassions, if you can call a funeral a social occassion, but you know what I mean :) Funeral tomorrow and party on Friday then my next entry in my social calendar is 24th May then 21st June. If I...
awwww thank you Precious. I dont want to add food, coz once food hits my gob I can't stop :o
I have been ok today but taking into account its only 10.45 a.m. I feel awful, like I have undone all my hard work and feel like I've put all my weight on. Obviously I haven't but that's the way my body...
No Precious I've had a bloody terrible day lol.
I was fine until about 4.00 p.m. when I ate one of those Milky Bar cows which my friend bought me for my birthday in February, then come home and ate 2 babybell lite cheeses, 2 boiled eggs and 7 WEETABIX !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't have food in...
Thanks gigglepants :D
I won't drink on Thursday but vodka all the way on Friday :D
I will defo stick to protein if I eat, but going to try not to eat at all if I can help it. I haven't been weighed this morning and probably won't weigh on Thursday either so just praying I haven't done too much...
I drink skimmed milk in my coffee, have tried black loads of times and just can't do it.
What was I thinking this morning? Well, I was thinking about the headaches, the cravings, the hunger pangs, the buffets on Thursday and Friday, wondering if it's worth dieting before the buffets and just...
Hi girls, woke up in a foul mood today and I know it's coz of this diet. I am sitting here staring at a 2 ltr bottle of water which I am going to have to chuck down my neck coz I hate it !!!!
I will feel a bit better later on I am sure, but at this moment in time I am like a bear with a sore...
Oh Shanny I am so disappointed with myself :(
I only hope I can get back into the swing of things. How will I cope with 2 buffets this week, plus the alcohol at the party :( I should think positive I know and I also know that tomorrow I will feel differently. I WILL DO IT :D
Hi everyone. OMG I have had a terrible weekend, I am so disappointed with myself :(
Started on Friday night, then Saturday work up starving. It's now Monday evening and I haven't stopped eating :( I could cry, but still want more food :(
I am scared stiff in case I can't get back on the wagon...
Hi Shanny, how are you? :)
Yes, enjoyed myself as usual. Got the same this weekend too, a party on Friday night so buffet there, then saturday night at the town with the girls. I need to get back in the zone though coz I can feel myself slipping. Had some great compliments last night so want to...
Well I've had a bad couple of days. Started to pick at food so need to knock that on the head NOW. 3 birthdays in work this week so biscuits/cake forever in reception area to help yourself to. Didnt do too bad though until last night.
It was my sisters birthday night out Friday so knew I was...
Had my first May Challenge weigh in today and lost 3lb :) Hit 2 goals today too - lost 3 stone EXACTLY and in the 10's :)

Wow been to the gym already - well done :)
I am still on TS, cant really think of any other plan to follow at the moment coz I am frightened to eat again. I know I will have to but maybe once I get to 10st I will, coz then the plan is to even out somewhere between 10 and 10.5
WI for me...
Hi Precious, I'm fine thanks, how are you?
I haven't been to the gym since last Monday :( and I can't swim for a couple of weeks now. I had my tattoo redone on Saturday, I've had it 15 years and it was starting to fade, so now I can't swim until it's fully healed. Really must get my finger out...
Hi I started another thread not knowing this one existed so I have moved ours across to this one. Obviously the people in the other thread will need to update their details below. Hope thats ok :)

gemsmiles s:15 4lb g: 14st 0lb

You know, I hunted high and low for a May Challenge Sticky yesterday and couldn't find one, that's why I started one off.
Girls - I will move all our details across onto that challenge if that's ok.
Mia - 7lb
Paigesmum - 14lb
Safia - 17lb
Nicci79 - 16lb
Yorkiepud - 21lb
Kimmie1982 - 20lb
Nicci whichever way you want to play it, no problem for me. This is YOUR challenge and weight loss so at the end of the day if you want to put your loss down its up to you. It's only a bit of fun to try and make us stick in a bit more :D
Sorry if one has already been started, but considering it's May tomorrow. Does anyone fancy a challenge? I'm 7lb from goal so that's what I will try to lose this month. Easy for some but I am such a slow loser it will probably take me 2 months to lose it lol.
Mia - 7lb
Hello Kelster, welcome to the forum. Yes, it does get easier. If you stick in and drink your water you should be in Ketosis in 3 days. This helps the hunger pangs. Of course, we never stop thinking about food, but not being as hungry helps to stop reaching for the biscuit tin. You need plenty of...
Hi Precious, I am ok thanks. Walked around the Metro Centre for ever today so should have lost my last half stone with that alone lol, but I bet I haven't. I had my last tesco bar whilst there for lunch while daughter tucked into sausage, beans and chips with a giant slab of chocolcate cake for...
I agree with the others. What would you say to me if it was me asking you the same question? 8lbs is nothing in comparisson to what you have already lost and I bet you look fab. Your health is more important and I think you already know the answer in your heart x
I imagine myself how I want to be. I give myself small challenges and my determination won't let me give in. Once I am over the first couple of days I won't let myself eat coz then I will have undone all the good work. Of course, I am no angel and have cheated in my 14 weeks, but I always get...
I had my first porridge yesterday. Hmmmm I don't know how to describe it. Not like porridge at all for me I'm afraid, tasked more like baby milk, like eating baby milk off a spoon. Very, very sweet. I will eat it again simply becasue it was certainly a different taste from the shakes and...
Thanks for the replies girlies. Well, I have decided. I am not hungry now, not hungry enough to enjoy a meal. Soooooo, this is the idea and not everyone will agree but I am doing it anyway lol.
I have had no shakes today, only the party food - lets say 800 cals in all. I am not going to have...
Hello girls, I lost 2lb this morning taking me to 11st exactly. Was hoping to get into the 10's but cant complain.
However ...................... since weight in I have cheated massively :(. It's been my best work mates birthday today and I have had ... wait for it ....
2 slices of birthday...
I am exactly the same as you !! People are telling me to stop dieting now coz I look thin on the face, chest (no boobs!), legs - everywhere but the bellies. I am continuing coz it has to come off there eventually ..... hasn't it????
I had leggings and high heels on in work on monday and...
Well I made a new order yesterday and I ordered 2 packs of Porridge just to taste as I've never had it before. Anyway, Exante sent me 5 free packs :) The expiry date of the ones I bought were September, but the free ones are 31st May so they are obviously getting rid of stock before it goes out...
Your headache should only last 3 days then you'll be fine. Thanks for the wishes for tomorrow, fingers crossed.
Yes, I have defo lost inches to the point in fact that a few people are telling me to stop hahaha, no way is that gonna happen. The thing is, is that I am thin enough now on my face...
Yeah Nicci, that's the way forward for me I think. I don't think I will look good at under 10st to be honest, well .... maybe 9st 13lb lol so let say I stay at that. That means I will not allow myself to get over 10st 7lb. I will weight each week like I do now and as soon as the pounds start...
Oh you're not having an easy time of it are you Precious? The headaches will go soon I'm sure. I've been 100% since the Pek but I had a sneaky peek at the scales this morning and they haven't moved an ounce :(. Got til Thursday for official WI though so we will wait and see. Have a good sleep...
Well I can totally relate to everything you are saying h.a. I am scared stiff to start eating again becasue this is the 4th time I have been on a VLCD and lost stones only to put it back on again. I really dont want to do that this time. My plan is to get to goal of 10st 7lb, then lose another...
Ohhhh where you going? A holiday is such a great incentive to lose weight. Today is day 103 for me but my losses are no where near as good as yours. You have done fantastic. Have a nice holiday x
Hahahahaha listen to you girls fighting who is the biggest fattest failure lol. We are all guilty of that, me included this weekend. I ate a full tin of Pek Chopped Pork - the one on special offer with 50% extra !!!!! So, let's all stick together and aim to be good this week.
Precious dont...
Well you have done extremely well to get where you are. It's not always what you weight, its how you look, and you obviously look good judging by the comments. After all, we dont go round with a t-shirt on saying "I am 11st 2lb" do we? Thats why once I get to goal I am going to try and lose...
Lol, people are amazing aren't they? Got far too much to say for themselves. Tell her you are a grown woman who knows what she's doing, but I can understand where she is coming from with your Slimsarah becasue there must be a MASSIVE difference in you after losing 7 stone and you are just over a...
Saddlebag, you CAN have my attitude. See me, if someone I barely knew pulled me up in a pub and started lecturing me about eating disorders I'd only have 2 words to say to them and one of them would be 'off'.
Good luck to you too, you can do it becasue you have proven it - you've done it...
I couldn't care less what anyone says to be honest. I know I look better thinner, I know I feel better thinner and that's all I care about. I was actually told by a girl in work last week that I look better fat :o - I said, you know, after 15 weeks without food that really is the kind of comment...
Don't worry about it Slimsarah, the chicken will have done you no harm. I know what you mean about the control though, you feel disappointed in yourself, like you have let yourself down. Anyway, it could have been worse so just forget it and tomorrow is another day x
Exactly!!! I can't sit down to 'a' biscuit, you're right, its a whole packet hahahaha
I'm scared stiff to start eating. Once at goal I want to see what I look like and then if needed lose another 12lb to be 9st 9lb - 9st 13lb would do, I just want to see that 9 :). That way, when I start eating...
Haha I have to agree with you Leanne. The veg one is the best as I can't stomach the rest. Saying that, I have been through phases of liking them all at some stage.
Saddlebag - hahahaha 7 packs. I like Exante but dont think I could cope with 7 packs lol. Scary thought though food isn't it? Dont want to go back to my old ways and old weight.
Dohnuts - I am not expert either, far from it, and studied Turkish for 4 years. However, you have the advantage in...
Hi Jackie, I pay £33 per month for my gym, its a DW Sports gym which they have all over the country. I was a member of another branch then they opened a one nearer me and coz I am a founder member I get it cheaper :) Its usually about £38. David Lloyd is about £75 a month I'm sure.
You need to...
Thanks Susie. I am fine today and been to the gym for a run and 20 mins on the cross trainer. Hope that helps in getting rid of the Pek calories :D
In a wierd sort of way, I am actually dreading starting eating again. I was talking to my mams this afternoon and told her that this diet is just...
Hi Jackie, I am fine thanks. My headache has gone but had a terrible nights sleep last night after eating all that Pek lol. That'll teach me a lesson.
So, I may not have been losing all that much weight lately, but boy have I lost inches :o :D. I have been trying my smaller size holiday...
I so agree with you babs. I have got 9lb to go to goal but after that would like to lose another 7lb at least so as when I start eating again I will definatley put weight on so give me half a stone to play with with even me out (if that makes sense lol).
Have you lost 48lb in 6 weeks? :O If you...
Well day 100 for me today. I haven't been 100% TS and had a few blips on the way, but still a bit proud of myself that I have managed 100 days.
I 'celebrated' by cheating and I feel like crying. I had a good loss, by my standards, yesterday which motivated me to be good this week. I haven't...
After a good loss yesterday I was determined to be good this week. I have been hungry and I haven't felt too well these past two days but was still pushing myself to be 100%. Guess what I have just eaten? A FULL tin of Pek Chopped Pork :wave_cry:. I love it but I think there's about 650 cals in...
I did CD 3 times and enjoyed all the products, then I found Exante :)
I enjoy Exante but if I could choose between the two, then CD would probably win. However, I like Exante enough to stay on it as I cannot justify the difference in price.
Thanks gigglepants. Thanks also for your faith in my but going by my losses it will take me 2 weeks to lose 2.25lb. Such a slooooww loser :(
I have dramatically reduced my exercise this past 2 weeks or so but I am planning on introducing a bit more this week. Maybe that will help. You've had a...
Thank you girls.
Slimsarah, thanks for popping in. Wow 8lb gain, I see where you are coming from, I would be gutted but at least you are getting back on track which is a good thing. That's what I do - as soon as I have eaten something which is usually planned anyway - back on track next day or...
So, WI wasn't too bad after all. I lost 3.5lb which is pretty good for me. I was aiming for 4lb so I can't complain. I had a good feed over the Easter weekend which set me back a bit last week, I put half a pound on, so I am back on track now. Going to be really good this week if I can to try...
Hahahaha I live vanilla too, but then again I like all flavour shakes but love vanilla and banana hot. Hot shakes seem to fill me up more ???? How you managing anyway? I am getting fed up now, not with the diet itself but with my crap slow losses :(. WI tomorrow but got 12lb to lose and at this...
Hi Precious, everything is fine, how about you?
I have had a really bad head for 3 days now and feel my body is hungry. WI tomorrow and probably haven't done as well as I would like, but hey-ho I never do :(
Getting a bit sick of slogging away at this and having crap losses. Feel like giving...
Come on Precious, you are doing marvellous. I know what you mean about not being able to face certain things, you just heave at the thought, but this about how good you feel when you have achieved what you worked hard for.
I was told today by a girl in work that "You look better fat" - hows...
Hi Precious, I am fine thanks, how are you doing?
I am back on track and working towards WI on Thursday. Had a sneaky WI this morning and wasn't impressed :mad:. Still, got til Thursday but to be honest I'm not hopeful, I just dont seem to be losing? What can I do? I ate last week so was...
Before I start my VLCD's the only thing I dread is the headaches. It actually puts me off starting. I suffer terrible with the headaches, the hunger, the rumbling stomach - I can deal with it all, but not the headaches. I usally get it for about 4/5 days then I'm ok. Worth working through it I...
Hi previous, how ya' doing? Just noticed your diary now, or I would have popped in earlier to give you a bit support saying as you are a regular on mine :)
I started at a similar weight to you - 13st 11lb so know you can shift if. Hope you are sticking in and doing well x
So, swam 60 lengths last night but went out today and had 2 halves of cider lol. Was going to go swimming but thought it was a bad idea with a pint of cider inside me :)
Anyway, been 100% apart from the drink. However .... I can't keep off the bars :( I look forward to them so much. The...
Good morning Jackie.
50 lengths is just a taster for me lol, I usually never get out of the pool until I've done at least 100. I got up to 2 mile before I split my head which is 180 lengths. Yesterday I was hungry but I lived through it lol.
I don't know why you are weighing every 10 days...
Thanks precious, how you doing?
I've just come back from the gym. It's the first time I've been since I split my head 3 weeks ago - shame on me :(
I only swam 50 lengths which is just over half a mile, and after progressing to swimming 2 miles non-stop, I am ashamed of myself. I will get back...
Can't find the thanks button on here????
So, thanks youse lol
Jackie I am going to try and keep off the bars for a few weeks, see if it effects my weight. Going to have 1 soup and 2 shakes. I will never in a million years lose 12.5lb in a month Jackie, I just couldn't do it, my body doenst...
Thanks everyone.
Well, it wasn't as bad as I thought :). I put on half a pound. Hate putting on and it's the first time round this time for a gain, but I really can't complain after what I have eaten. Going to be 100% and see if I can have a good loss next week. It might just be the boost I...
I think that's a brilliant achievement. Anyone who can stay 100% for 100 days needs a pat on the back. The longest I've ever done was 84 days and that was a killer :). Well done, you deserve to lose x
Hope I find it easy. Not too bad at the minute but danger times are evenings. I am also trying to wean myself off Tesco bars so haven't even got that to look forward to. WI is on Thursday so don't think I will manage a loss to be honest, but hope I at least STS. Fingers crossed x
yep back on track already :)
Expect the next couple of days to be hard, but I can do it. Not looking forward to Thursday but should imagine (hope) I have a bigger loss next week.
