Hi Gang thanks for reminding me as I have stopped calorie counting hence the slow loss (0.5 over 2 weeks). So I'm back for all your fab support and Summer, the important thing is to just stay within your allowance (like i will be doing)!

Hi all 0.5 for me! Need to get chatting again to stay focussed! better luck this week (I will do it)

I stayed the same this week :( Well I did have a drunken weekend with the girls :) followed by burger and chips and then McDonalds on Sunday!! So now that's out my system i want to loose 2lb this week!

You look fabulous, well done x

I do love this site x

Well pre my last child I could drink for England but not anymore, I like the sound of the vodka lime and soda as I often drink lime and soda as a soft drink anyway, cheers!! Yes the alcohopops do make your teeth feel like chalk!!

Thanks that's helpful to me too as I have a few nights out planned over the next few weeks. I guess alcho pops arent too good? Unfortunately Im a light weight and can't manage anything too strong (maybe thats due to having to get up to 4 kids!!) Any suggestions?

I lost 1lb this week. Got to try hard this week and achieve a 2lb loss, fingers crossed and well done all (especially you Kes)

LMAO :)

Hi Summer and welcome! I have just completed my second week and lost 5lb's to date! Found lots of support on here and a good way of deflecting from food! I don't work nights so can't help there but some recipes have been posted already so have a look round. Salmon and boiled pots is good...

Hi can you add on my 2lb loss for this week please, thanks (better not attempt it myself!!)

Hi all and very well done to everyone. I lost 2lb yippee!

I wish someone would take a lb off me!!! Canadatogo - just a small blip you have done fantastice so far - well done!

Its that Paul McKenna CD!! And good will power and determination !

Good idea as if you are anything like me the whole lot would have to be eaten! Thought i might stuggle tonight but went whopping after my shake and thought about what I would eat for Tea before I got ther to stay focussed. Really pleased as I had a chicken breast peice (from the hot deli) and...

Hi Tamzy and welcome! I too am just coming to the end of my second week and I am finding slim fast easy. I like the fact I don't have to worry about what breakfast and lunch to have and only need to think about 1 healthy meal. Lots of support on here too so good luck and let us know how your...

Thats great not to have choc. I too must have eaten much more than I realised as the first week I felt like I really cut back. Getting easier just got to make sure the 'picking' doesn't come back!

Oh dear, scales and blender now needed!

Wow great loss well done

Good thoughts I like that CD, keep motivated Emma. I nearly slipped this morning as kids were having toasted baguels with butter and I WANTED ONE. However, I thought - ya know what lets just get this over and done with and stick with it till I loose the weight and THEN i can have a baguel and...

Hi all Its Friday night which means its the start of the weekend and the most testing time for me and I guess my fellow slimmers! So I thought it would be good to see if anyone can offer some weekend survival tips to spure us through when we get bored and tempted! Tips I am going to go for...

Buoy I'm not even looking!!!! I'm with you guys its all or nothing!!!! So its none for me! :(

Thanks - coming on her for all your support has defo helped x

Well done Alex Are the digital scales better than the dial? Yes I think they are, you can't pretend the dial is slightly to the left!!! Quick and simple

crikey your good, thats determination! My dad is a retired electrician and I can hear him now..............

well done on losses all. i too could not live without my scales but it can get depressing if it's not going the right way!

When I have cooked chicken tonight or stew or something, we sometimes have it the next night with chips for quickness. So I would have had chips with it. Tonight I had a few out the bag but then folded them up and chucked away!

How did you do? did you manage to fight through the snow?

Welcome Sarah, you will fing lots of support here. Gg don't start us off on that bad breath thing again!! (is VERY true) oh or was it flatulance lol

Hi Carly and welcome. You will hopefully find all the support you need on here - I have.

Thanks all, Lisa, yes I do prefer 'Lisa'!! and Kes I'm sure you can do it I am aiming for that 2lb a week too x

Well talking about chips and picking kids food! They had chips and I picked!!! Only a few but got in from work and they were there ready and I had to cook my Tea. Had a small bowl of pasta and pesto (350 cals) so hopefully not too bad!

Well done Lisa,

Lets hope so. Did you notice I managed a quote!?! Even tried facebook now lol

Erm I mean WEIGH IN crikey I must be weak after the jog!!

Thanks ladies, the support from you has got me through and I have even been out for a jog tonight and managed 30mins without stopping! Have signed up to do a 10km run in April so have to keep training (or die half way round). Managed the ticker and some goals thanks for the tips x Good luck for...

Hi I have read the book and listened to the CD that comes with it and yes it is a very good concept but it wasn't right for me this time as I managed the 'eat what you want' rule well but failed at the 'stop when your full' !!! I defo want to try the technique to maintain as I do struggle to...

Yippee - I have survived my first week on slim fast (and Alli for two days) and I am very pleased to say I have lost 3lb :) Help - How do I update my ticker?? And how do I add my goals? I have tried in my signature but it is saying there is not enough space? Soz to be a pain but I am...

Found it (doh) .....

Thanks, this is helpful. I find a twitch if I don't periodically put some food in my mouth so I tend to eat fruit throught the day or i might be tempted!! WW hoops a low fat for a treat.

Where and what is the sticky as I would hate to not find these lovely recipes as I don't want to get bored of the same food? Thanks

Well done all. Lost 3lb yipee! Added myself too but think Gg is logging somewhere?! Goreygirl ~ 4Busybee ~ mini mim ~ Sacha ~ LexyD ~ TallulahBelle ~ Canadatogo ~ Doodlelover ~ IzzyS ~ Chan x ~ FattyBigbum ~ Alex ~ clarkey ~ -3lb Krystle~ -2lb

weekends are tough as Gg said you have more time on your hands to think about food. I too had a little treat (crusty bread which is a bloater) still within cals but just not one of my 5 a day! I often go for the water - 1 because I hardly drank any before and 2 because most of the time we are...

I know such a funny thing to chat about but hey we're newbies to the Alli so need to check. It definately worked for the pharmacist!! She triumphantly showed me her very loose trousers when I brought it. She also warned me not to eat anything fatty as the movement would be very quick! Nice lol

Hi I started Alli last night and no cramps but definate wind and movement! :0

Lets hope so !!;)

Added myself too hope you don't mind, I weigh in on Monday Goreygirl ~ 4Busybee ~ mini mim ~ Sacha ~ LexyD ~ TallulahBelle ~ Canadatogo ~ Doodlelover ~ IzzyS ~ Chan x ~ FattyBigbum ~ Alex ~ clarkey ~

Hi Gg Hope your feeling better today your doing great. The chips would feel awful in your tum if you ate them now! Well done for resisting treats Friday, I managed to resist take away! The snow must be a pain, ours isn't too bad and took the kids sledging yesterday (very big hill!). I have...

Oops didn't see 2nd page (told you sitll trying to find my way) FeelingFat ~ 8lb FattyMcBigbum ~ 10lb Goreygirl ~ 8lb sacha ~ 8lb IzziS ~ 10lb Kes ~ 10lb mini_mim ~ 10lb x Alex x ~ 7lb +1 Tinkerbell* ~7 lb LuckyLucy ~ 7lb clarkey ~ 8lb

Hi all, can I add to the challenge! Still finding my way round this site so a bit late. I going for 8lb. First officially weigh in tomorrow and doing ok. Started Alli last night but heard it takes a couple of weeks to notice :( Got through yesterday and Friday without takeaway! did treat...

oh no! we haven't had it that bad! Just the odd heavey fall. Set to get some at weekend :eek:

could always suck on the mint taste instead lol (err maybe not lol)

Shall try that site too and compare. Its just trying to get out in the cold although you feel great after you have done it. Is the snow bad for you?

Err :eek: lots of brushing for def then!

what a coincidence! We can defo spur each other on! I did a 5km last May but did nothing before and nothing since. Jogged round the block Monday and managed 30 mins last night (very slow). I got a training plan off runners world website that gives a plan for absolute beginners to be jogging...

No its one in Derby England (the midlands). Wanted to do it last year but didn't think I would so attempting this time.

Hi Kes well my hubby is a smoker so he hasn't complained!!! but I have been at bit conscious at work! Does the Alli still work even with taking shakes and lot fat meals? Ajrere - welcome and good luck, how you doing?

Brill that sounds like a good motivator! I actually jogged in the snow last night, got to do three times a week and signing up for a 10km run in April. That is a big challenge for me it took me all my effort to do the race for life last year (5km) in May and haven't done any jogging any at all...

Yes we can do it!! The weekend is tough for me too! I find I have the most water in the evenings as I try to resist temptations so drink instead. Or an apple! I am going to plan well for Sat and Sun so I don't grab something. To be honest though I do seem to be gaining strength each day! I...

Same here, I had a soup and got full before the end. Got to try and rememeber to stop when full and that it is okay to leave something. Must stem from my childhood that but struggle with wastage for no conscious reason. Portion sizes have definately decreased.

Hi Thanks. Just replied to you on another thread!! about weighing in! Think I'll have a ready meal tomorrow with steamed veg, something quick and easy that might help to resist the Friday night temptation of a takeaway! Been going Tesco every night on way home from work to make sure I have...

Thanks will try chicken as had fish again tonight and got bored half way through. Still felt full though! Are you officially weighing in weekly? and if so is the first time Monday? I do and I hope it comes off. Going to get Alli over weekend:)

Hi Kes Thanks for that I think I might get some Alli tomorrow from chemist. I am on day three and I have to say I think I am doing really well. I seem to be over the psychological cravings too which is good (although I get the odd twinge) and I seem much more able to say 'no, you can do it'...

Thanks G-girl! What you said about the oven top steamer has just made me think I actually have one! Like a saucepan that stacks! I usually boil potatoes and steam the veg but I guess this would be ok to steam the fish, do you think. I am actually quite a good cook believe it or not but more...

I thinks that is very good advice Goreygirl :) Although the ready meals seem quick and easy even weight watchers themselves advise you not to eat them all the time. I like the sound of the steamer are the quite cheap and really that easy? I am on day 3 and I think I am doing good so far I...

Hi all I'm on my second day and I managed without giving in to the left over chocolate temptation yesterday (with thanks to the support). I feel very proud of myself tonight too as the family had chippy as I was running late from work and about from 4 small (honestly) chips I went without...

Ooh that sounds nice i love pesto, thanks. Crikey I can see this is going to take some forward planning to make sure I don't grab something quick. I guess you get used to the amount of cals in each food over time?

Thanks I am. Just been on that calorie counting site and buoy I would have to jog for a week and that thought is definately helping me to stay away! More water....... one day at a time and this one is nearly over! Any good filling low cal meals to suggest anyone!

Mmm not convinced, will let you know! Got a large glass of water and desperately trying to avoid all the left over christmas treats in the fridge. Day 1 very nearly complete!

Thanks Goreygirl I shall check that out. Very good idea to wait for the ice to thaw as I nearly sprained and ankle last night!! If your house is anything like mine the DVD has probably been used as a coaster!! Today has been ok, need to break the habit of the food to mouth motion but I am...

Hi all I need some buddies to spur me on (although I haven't got face book, one technical step at a time!!!). I started slim fast today and had a strwbry shake for breakfast and lunch with salmon and stirfry for tea. I did weightwatchers 5 years ago and kept the weight off but since having my...

Wow Kim's dad what a fab story and brilliant resistance over christmas. I start my diet tomorrow..again! (been trying to loose my baby weight for three years!!!) and I am determined this time to do it so we can encourage each other. Well done so far can't weight to hear more of your success...

Thanks Kes that really helped and I think I am getting there.... slowly! Any tips for doing slim fast I see your doing very well. I am trying to increase my water intake as it has been ZERO and I have read things posted about xenical. Does this need to be precribed or can you buy it over the...

Slim fast virgin! Hi all Never mind starting slim fast for the first time I am struggling to navigate this website!! Well, I am starting slim fast tomorrow and never done it before so wish me look. I am looking forward to only having to concoct one healthy meal but hoping the shake will...

Hi all I am starting slim fast tomorrow and stocking up from Tesco on my way to work. Thought lossing weight was tough but cannot navigate this site!! Posted a message yesterday but cant find it so not sure what happened! So wish me luck as I am really starting to feel unhealthy and I will...

Hi all Thinking of trying slim fast given the offer at tesco! What is the 5% rule? Thanks
