    Week 8 weigh in.....lost 3lbs! Shock horror lol! So I am now in the 13s, woop woop!! I thought I would be a little more excited about seeing 13 on the scales but I am definitely still happy about it. 1/3 of the way there as well, with 2 stone gone, 4 to go. One thing I do hate about entering...

    Thank you so much everyone for your kind words of support and encouragement. I haven't been on here much because I was feeling so rubbish and I've just been flat out with work. The weekend wasn't great and my migraine too a little while to get over, but thankfully I am feeling more back to...

    Em's weight loss journey 2014 - Caribbean Countdown!

    I've found the last day or so really tough. I've just been feeling awful and so close to giving up. I had a migraine yesterday and that always makes me feel horrendous because I get them really bad, but even before that I was just feeling so weak, achey and tired. My husband thinks maybe my...

    Thank you for the words of encouragement Phoenix :) How are you getting on with your diet? Drinking enough water is something I am always conscious of, think that was where I went wrong in the past, and I agree it is quite easy to get complacent with it. When I'm at work it is usually pretty...

    Em's weight loss journey 2014 - Caribbean Countdown!

    Week 5 weigh in and I lost 3lbs. I'm ok with that, kinda hoped for a little bit more because last weeks loss was low. A little bit down about it though because if I add up the last 4 weeks I lost 11lbs, and I am ideally aiming for 1 stone a month. Oh well. I think this seems to be the way...

    Thank you Clinquant and Phoenix :) I have to say I love the food packs that SnS do, there is so much variety. And even though I now only have a small-ish selection of my favourite packs, I would say it is definitely worth trying as many different things as you can initially because everyone's...

    Really nervous about weigh in in the morning, I don't think I really feel like I've lost anything this week. But I guess I've just got to wait and see what the scales say and cross everything. Might do some measurements as well to see if there is a change there.

    Skinny girl - Do you have a selection of packs that you stick to all the time? Freezing the bars is a great idea, I don't want to have them too often rather stick to shakes and a 'dinner' pack if I can. Day 4 Pack 1 - Porridge (was disappointed in this, have loved the plain porridge on other...

    Hello! Today I have begun my Slim & Save mission to drop 6 stone. Eek! I will start by admitting I am a serial dieter, and have most likely tried most of the diets under the sun. I know a lot of people say the best way to lose weight is to eat less and move more and that is fine in...

    2lbs off for me this week, which I'm pleased with. I wouldn't say I was 100% this week but maybe about 90%. Hopefully I will be able to get back into the 10stones again next week. If I can lose 2lbs then I will be back to the lightest I have been which was just before my birthday. :D

    Hiya. Computer is still playing up a bit but hubby has managed to get it to stay on yesterday and today so hopefully it will last. Gained 1lb this week, which I wasn't suprised about really because I wasn't in the 'zone' at all last week. Still gutted about it tho. If I had lost more weight...

    Hi Luisa. Yes you can do any combination of Red, Green and EE days. So for example one week you might do 3 days EE, 2 days red and 2 days green, or anything like that. I just stick to Red days as that is what suits me best, but sometimes I might have the odd Green or EE day if I feel like it...

    Thanks guys. Yea, thats a really good idea Dream, think I might start doing that. Maybe have a cook fest at the weekend then put stuff in the fridge and freezer. :) Off to do the food shop later on, think it could be quite expensive with all the fruit and veg I'm going to buy!
