Hello! (Ps - what's a Leslie sandsone? )

Urgh i'm feeling rubbish :( Think have caught a bug (sore throat, cough, chest bit sore, feel cold, am snotty, headachey), n feeling pretty low mood wise this week for some reason (numerous 'almost in tears' moments at work). My wee bro, his wife n my gorgeous wee niece came over and brought BK...

It was good actually. Def going back :)

ERHMAGHERD. I just went to zumba. On my own. Never been before. Am a sweaty horrible red mess. *collapses in corner* :eek:

Nah just decided on some bw exercise today. Usually I go walk up the hill in the local forestry commission bit, takes me bout 35 mins. Can't breathe/talk on way up - way down is fine lol

Of course not chick! Not so much a diary as a random blether! Lol! I have loads to lose but feeling good after 2 weeks on WW! GOOD LUCK TONIGHT! :)

I've been making a wrap for lunch, reeeeeally tasty. One wrap, some branston, ham on top, sprinkle of cheese, beetroot or cherry toms, and a Mahoosive pile of spinach n rocket. So good! And I'm ok appetite wise for quite a while after that.

Ooooh yum! !! I have a serious weakness for rice

Ta daaaa!

Hang on - feeling wobbly cos no breakfast yet. Perhaps not good idea. 50 swings and 25 push press it is. *has to go for a lie down*

Apologies for the nightmares the pic will give you, but SWEATING POURING OFF ME LIKE RAIN!!! DID - 20 x bw squat 20 x push ups 20 x mountain climbers 20 x side lunge 20 x v-ups (In 2 circuits of 10 reps) NOW IN MIDDLE OF - 100 x 2 handed kettlebell swings 100 x kettlebell push press (Broken...

Ok so I didn't cave. Well...I had those biscuits, but I still had 4pts left for the day. And ooooooooh jeebus did I want to cave!!!! :eek: But I got up today, weighed myself (I know it's not Sunday morn but hey ho) - and i'm another 1.5lb down from yest!! (Hopefully they'll still be off on...

If it wasn't for fact my wee man is asleep i'd be at shop too!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH lol

Last night I had 40 weeklies left, plus had built up 39 from activity!! But today is weigh in day so a fresh week so back to square one, and I am PROPER daydreaming about bars of choc and big Swiss rolls!!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!

Gadz I want to eat EVERYTHING tonight! Daydreaming about Swiss roll!!!! :eek:

Hiya! 1.25lb off this morn! Been grand this week, felt really good! How you getting on hun?

Don't tell you what now? I'm confoooooooooozed

Nopes....just got worse.... Nursing is STRESSY. I need gin.

2.5lbs off! :thumbup:

Oh BALLS!! lol I've only had a couple bags but still - D'OH! Makes me wonder if cocked anything else up!! Lol never mind! Had a blow out on wed night. Couldn't stop eating. Not sure why. Possibly thought of 12hr shift on the thurs after week n half off, cos couldn't sleep either! Apart...

3pp? I did it on my phone in tesco n got it as 2 a pack! Oh hell have I been calculating wrong?! :eek: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH Now nervous bout weigh in in morn!!

I haven't looked at the filling one or the simply one, just went straight on to points. Mini bags of mini party rings are good too, and an options mint hot choc! Had that before bed last night. Just out of work. I WANT TO EAT ALL THE THINGS.

I'm doing points hun. You?

Hiya! Ok...maybe... Had a blow out on wed night. Just couldn't stop eating. And it was all rubbish. Felt so bad about it on Thurs. But back on track and then some! Actually excited for first weigh in on Sunday morn. Just hope I've not cocked it up too badly! How about you hun?

Went to local outside gym thingy. Now completely knackered and legs like jelly! And 4 seasons in one day! Rained on, snowed on, windy, and then sunny! Feel GREAT tho! :)

Well I managed to use up my weeklies yest eve (and a few more :(:(:( ). Couldn't stop eating :thumbdown: Hopefully that means I'll lose on Sunday morning since they're gone. Really nervous now cos I ate loads of crap :( Am at work today, 12hr shift and made a point of not taking money so...

Biglors35 :)

Feeling good hun (apart from current headache :thumbdown: ), like I'm in control? Long may it last!

I was never given help either! Just told to lose weight and symptoms would decrease! Um....HELLO?? :mad:

Thank you sweetie! Xx

I started on Sunday too!! Sunday morn is my weigh in! :)

Um...I may be just being really dumb, but I can't see any form of weight training (free weights, bodyweight exercises, kettlebells, resistance machines at gyms, etc) for points allocation in the activity section of the app?? It seems to all be CV exercise? Am I missing something?? HELP!

Has anyone ever done that thing where you make 'rice' from cauliflower? If so, what like? And if it's good - how do I do it? Making an effort to up my fruit and veg (cos very rubbish before starting ww this week, as was my fluid intake!), and thought might give that a try too cos I LOOOOOOOOVE...

Hi Jo! :)

Hiya! I know this'll sound weird, and I know cos I'm so big I get lots of points (at the moment), but I seem to have HEAPS to eat! I'm pointing everything, and logging on the app (I'm doing WW online, not going to classes) - so know I'm ok and within my points. Guess it just takes getting used...

Hi everyone - just wanted to say hello! Am in the middle of my first week doing WW, feeling good so far! Have a lot to lose, but also looking at it as a life change - ie eat better, move more, and make those 2 things a habit/daily life instead of eating rubbish and sitting on my bum. Be a...

Hi Shalini Yeah thats what i hoping for at mo - just focusing on losing the weight and seeing how i go from there. The majority of folk say that once at a healthy weight the symptoms are much much less and everything is more regular, which is my hope! Once thin - bring on the babies!!! L x

smooooooooooth

Hi Huffly welcome welcome welcome!! I'm on day 19 now, and in first 2 weeks lost one stone and half a pound! First few days i found odd, but have never felt hungry, and only side effect i had was a bit of a sore head on morning of day 3, which was gone by lunchtime! My prob is getting my...

Hi girlies! How goes it today? Day off today (hurrah!), but have spent all day til now doing my tax return (BOO HISS), and have still to do my Reflexology assignments! Tomorrow i am definitely doing nothing!!! Can someone come and kick my ass please? I have just realised i have been so...

Hi guys I was just wondering if anyone else out there has PCOS? And if anyone who has lost weight has had any major changes in it? I have PCOS, originally had 5st 9 to lose (but we better make that 4st 8.5 since i've lost 14.5 lbs so far :D:D:D), and have all the problems that go with the...

Yeah i have that in my head all the time, but its just such a struggle! :( Get to the point that i cant actually face drinking any more for the day!

Becks i'm the same as you! I get my minimum 2 and a half in, but struggle after that!

Hiya Kel - you feeling bit better now? How's the boy? Theres nothing worse than not getting a decent sleep! HUGS!!! I just in from my parents - they had a birthday meal for my bro. Was all very nice, and i just had my orange CD bar and the biggest mug of black tea i have ever made i...

Hi girlies Sorry i havent been here but its been one of those weeks, work mad - we are SO short staffed and all us mugs that DO actually turn up for work everyday are just being stretched to the limit :( Also was in a foul mood with Gav all week cos he never tidies up after himself - ending...

Delay in posting yet again due to work (sorry girlies but i'll be here when i can!), but... Got weighed yesterday.... And.... 8 and a quarter off!!!! WOOP WOOP!!! Congrats and huggles to everyone else too! Lors x

Hi guys - i'm in a pondering mood, so was just wondering how long it actually took everyone to lose their weight? I have lots to lose, and am at end of week 1 (weigh in tomorrow afternoon - will keep you posted), and myself and the other half have decided today we are going on holiday mid may...

Is the summer fruits flavouring better than the orange? I've not tried it but i dont find the orange one orangey at all - just tastes like i've put sweetener in my water! Anyone else find that?

Oh thank goodness! Think could probably up my fluids then with hot drinks. Find it so hard trying to force water down my neck!

Oh, and "not stolen from the pub" Clarabel?! PMSL :D

So if i was to have a big mug of green, black, white, peppermint, or nettle tea, i can count that towards my fluid intake? I got the impression it HAD to be 4 pints minimum (but preferably 3-4 litres) of water and then whatever else you drank on top of it!

Ooh ooh i want to know that too! I'm on 4 packs cos i'm tall, and only on day 5, but sometimes at night when i'm supposed to have my last, i dont fancy it at all!

Hey sweetie no probs! We all in this together! :D

ECHO! (ECHO Echo echo....) Where is everyone?

Oh geezy peeps :( I'm sitting here with my 4th PINT - nevermind LITRE!!! Finding the whole water intake thing a bit of a struggle :(

Hi guys - have tried to make muffins using both recipes from the sticky up above, but altho smell yum, taste uber bland :( what am i doing wrong? Any suggestions for a better attempt? Ta muchly L x

Hi hun - i have to say that i am on day 5, hit ketosis yesterday morn, and apart from waking up on day 3 with a bit of a headache and a bit dizzy - which passed by lunchtime - i have been fine! Bit tired maybe? And yeah feeling cold a bit mor, but same as you, i'm a cold fish! All stuff i can...

Hi guys - i really feel like i am struggling with my water/fluids intake :( Before CD i hardly drank anything, particularly on my days off from work - i could go a whole weekend, then on sunday night wonder why i had a headache coming on :( I am only just managing to get my minimum 4 pints...

Hi again Cody - WELL DONE!!! Must be a fab feeling! Congrats! You're well on the way now hun! I'm the same as you with the water thing hun - am getting my 4 pints of water, and maybe an odd mug o tea but that it! Really feel like i have to force it down cos before doing the CD i would hardly...

How much water were you drinking Fiona? I'm stuggling too :( Before doing this i could just forget to drink all day! So just now i am getting my 4 pints plus a mug or 2 of black tea in but that about it!

First chance to post cos of work - but yest morn (day 4) i did a ketostix - and it was PINK PINK PINK!!! YAY! :party0049: Funny thing to get excited about isnt it?! :p Onwards!! L x

Hi hun - i'm a new starter too, today is day 5! Cos i'm new i'm not much use for answering your questions, but everyone on here is so full of information and will help with anything - they're all fab! x

What a difference! You look amazing, and just liek everyone else says - so much younger! Thanks for posting - i'm a new starter to all this, and am on day 5 now, hit ketosis yesterday morning, and am sticking to it 100%! Lors x

Hi girlies Sorry been so long but work was just mad yesterday - got out late cos i was looking after a very poorly chap :( , got home bout quarter to 11 at night, and just collapsed! Was so tired i didnt have my last pack hot choc before bed :( nevermind! Today is another day! But on a...

Hi there Nik! I'm on day 3 too....well...nearly finished it! I have 5st 9 to lose, and i'm going to do it!!! How have you got on so far? Lors x

I didnt realise you did prep weeks? Was i supposed to?

My fave is the Spicy Tomato soup! And a hot mint choc is yummy too at the end of a long day! Not tried the bars as only on day 3, but am sure i'll give them a go at some point!

So if you havent done any prep does it take longer? I started on Tuesday, and just did it going cold turkey!

Hi guys - am on day 3, and was just wondering how long it usually takes to get to the pink stick stage? I tested today and i'm getting there - had trace ketones! Sounds daft but am excited about when it turns pink! :p L x

I'm on my 4th pint at the mo (really struggling with the water intake because before i started this i could go days without drinking!), and still have 2 packs to go! Dont know whats up! Not hungry!

DONT THINK ABOUT IT!!! Think about how wrong it is to think Dan Radcliffe is hot when he's Harry! (thinking about that play he was in....)

I cant even say that helped me get big - have PCOS and i havent had a TOTM since October!

Oh and Time4Me - i am now searching for my harry potter film....not seen it in ages! :P

What about a long hot bath to help you relax hun? Always works for me!

Hi Topaz - day 3 for me too Woke up with headache and feeling dizzy - has eased off a bit now tho. Planning an early night tonight too! Is it the headache you finding hard? Lx

Aw Kel! HUGS!!!! Hot choc or hot choc mint?

But what about folic acid tho? That my main concern. Should be taking 400 a day, but on my 4 packs it only 266! Not worried bout the other vits. ANy thoughts?

Hi kel ma love! Just on to my 4th pint now! Not headachey anymore, but fuzzy but wouldnt say dizzy anymore either! Tired and reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally cold tho! Hows you? Lx

Hi guys - just wanted to check if it ok to take multivits on CD? All i'm after is to take one Pronatal multivitamin and mineral supplement a day - dont intend to get pregnant WHILE doing CD, but certainly do intend to afterwards!! :D I know the foodpacks give you your RDA, but just want to...

Hi there Cody :D I'm new to all this too! I'm on day 3 today, and have been 100% so far - very easily! Had a bit of a rumbly tumbly yest, but didnt at any point think to actually eat anything! Havent a clue if i'm in ketosis yet, but havent felt hungry since starting, and feel really positive...

PS - You're right Kel - I'm a nurse! Work in Theatre Recovery, so i'm the face the poor souls see when they waking up after being slicey dicey-d! :D

Afternoon girlies Well i seem to be doing good so far - sticking to it 100%! Day 1 and day 2 have drunk my 2.5 litres, had my 4 packs, and at least one other hot drink. Yesterday i just wasnt off the loo!!! Eeshk! My kidlee's wont know whats happening to them! I'm just focusing on getting...

Hi girlies Just a quick one before i head off to bed - cos i'm KNACKERED! - but wanted to let you know today went fine! Didnt feel hungry until i was driving home tonight, and i got home, had a shower, and then had a hot mint choc (my last pack of the day)! I even managed to drink 2.5L of...

Thanks Kel. I'm really looking forward to it - is that bizarre? Who looks forward to dieting?! STAY AWAY FROM THE CUPBOARDS!!!! Lx

PFB - yep sounds like a plan! Buckle up and strap yersel in and all that jazz! Altho i warn you....I will probably scream in yer ear and upchuck in yer lap! No good at rollercoasters! :D But yeah, we can go thru this together! :D L x

I shall get some to help with the stretch marks! Many thanks hun! But is there anything that will help reduce or prevent the instance of saggy skin in the first place? As in - is there something i can do as i am going along thru SSing to help prevent the saggy bits? Thanks guys Lx

Sorry if this a daft question - but what do you mean by the 14s?

Nope no snow - altho it is Blooooooomin cold right now! Tis all frosty and sparkly just now - but we havent had any o the white stuff at all! If it snows does Santa come again?

Hi Lou - i'm not going to be able to post probably until wednesday night, maybe thursday morning cos of the shifts i'm on this week :( Hell shifts as i lovingly call them - 8am til half 9 at night, this week tues wed and fri, and i tend to just be sleep and work and work and sleep when i'm on...

Hi Bunny - i just wanted to say thanks! I'm just about to start CD (tomorrow!), have never done it before, and have to admit the saggy skin issue was in back of my head! Oh and another thing - you look AMAZING!!! Ta muchly! Lx

Does anyone know of anything we can do along the way to try and prevent any loose skin?? Moisturising? Anything else? L x

Thanks hun. Its just that this week i am on what i lovingly call "hell shifts" at work on Tuesday Wednesday and Friday (8am - half 9 at night!), so my first 2 days of SSing are going to be while i at work. Think it good from point of view i will be at work and occupied, but at the same time...

Mine's easy - I'm Big (height wise too!), and me names Laura! I even use Big Lors or Big L when i'm putting off duty requests in the diary at work... I didnt even have to explain who it was, they just knew it was me... Hmmm.... Is that a good thing or a bad thing?? L x

Is it a local class or one of these nationwide companies that does classes? I'm waaaaaaaaaaaaay up north, but never hear of any ballroom dancing classes! Would be such fun!! How did it go LynseyLou? L x
