Sal, I have drunk sugar free squash from day 1. Id hate plain water. Its never hindered any losses or slowed up keto with me x

Im back in the gum today. Havent been for months. Have gaining everything I lost. Almost back to my post canada weight. Been putting off the gym cause it'll be so hard and i'll be upset at how far in reverse ive gone, but i just need to bite the first bullet and do it :(

Google them. Its what all the contestants on biggest loser wear. 24 hour body analysis tracking :)

Hope your feeling better Sal. I want a Ki Fit/Bodybugg. Ive decided its what I need in my life! Lol

The idea behind the conditioner and comb is that the lice cant grip the hair so its easier to comb them out. Its like the dog getting fleas. If he socialises its inevitable. Its not nice, but you treat it and move on. Absolutely nothing to be ashamed of!

Good oh, expensive business to replace! How is Day 1 of you going?

Oh man, am I in a foul mood today! Am sure it's PMT, but I'm having to bite my tongue soo hard to stop myself snapping. It doesn't help that Im in a small office with one other and she's stressed out and tired, so is snappy as well. Normally I can let it wash over me, but today it's very hard...

Hi mel, thanks for the tips. I definately think the fact im using a smoothie maker rather than a proper blend makes a difference. I dont thinks quite as violent.

Hi Lily, good to see some of the mm oldies are still around :) Ooh...good tips on the mix and mousse. I hadn't thought about mixing it all up first! And I havent been making the effort to get the water icy. Will try again tomorrow and hopefully get a lovely pud :) mind you not sure why its...

Well I let myself down today. I had some chicken, chips and beans! I'm feeling more guilty than I am disappointed. I have been eating a ridiculous amount every day for the last few weeks and have just felt stuffed and bloated constantly. Eating for the sake of it, not even tasting what is going...

When I had my wrists operated on, they itched like crazy as the muscles were reattaching.

I think a fair few people got deleted because they are linked to fb pages.

How you getting on sal? I cant believe how dead mms is these days? And how much misguided advice is flying around. Day 2 for me....bored already. Lol

Tennis

Lol! :)

Day 2 and another gorgeous day! Sadly, I think housework and washing are on the cards today. I am suprised at how smoothly yesterday went, though last night I had very odd choppy dreams. Too many failed starts lately. Only another 2 days and I should be in ketosis. My scales went out on loan...

Well just had my choc tetra, I 'think' I am safe to say Ive made it through day 1. Yay me :) I so very, very nearly put some mushrooms in the george forman! But I resisted. Feeling really good at the minute. Can't wait until I am a few days in and I start to feel less bloated and I start...

Itchy is good. It means healinv, right?

I got bored of being holed up, so took the big boy out for a ride and had some bonding time with my youngster. I really do hope that one day I am light enough to ride him :) Im just tucking into a hot choc mint shake....grim! Its all lumpy. 1 more to go...think i'll treat myself to a tetra...

Well no nickelodeon so far, just lots of cleaning. My house is definately always cleaner while on cd :) 3 pints of water and 4 coffees down. Really need to pick up some decaf though. Just had my first product, maple and pecan porridge. Yum yum! Will have another attempt at a mix a mousse...

Well maybe its fate that us mm oldies are all here, same place, same time! Time to kick each others arses and get on with it :)

Life changes us! We cant always be who we used to be. You've had it tough for a long time and im sure you are nowhere near an alchoholic :) Maybe its just become an emotional crutch, like food is. You arent a failure because you arent behaving the same way you did last year. You cant be...

It certainly is! I have yet to get up...oops! Am wishing now that it'd prepped up some water bottles in the fridge and some ice cubes. I hate plain water, so have to try to jazz it up..lol! We're saving up for a trip to New Zealand next year to visit my mum. I love Tenerife, its so chilled out.

Well this is it? Day 1! My first lie in of the week and im up at the crack of dawn. Typical! While babysitting my friends little girl last weekend, I discovered Im subscribed to the sky kids channels. I wonder if I can get away with a nickelodeon marathon with no children in the house to blame...

Yep 2 stone! I went from doing SS pre wedding straight into honeymoon gorgeing! Am hoping the first stone will drop off pretty easy at least. Where you going on hols to? My sister is flying out to Barcelona today for some sun. Very jealous!

Me too Sal, Day 1 today! My firat lie in of the week and I'm awake at the crack of dawn. I cant believe cwp even made a point of displaying their motto under the cakes! Lol

Hi ladies! Yes, Kez is short for Kerry and I am cornish :) Yes fran, tomorrow is day 1 back on cd. I got married 7th July and have gained a whooping 2 stone since...eeek! I guess I let that honeymoon enjoyment drag on far, far too long.

Hey Nikki, have just found this diary. I thought all my subscribed threads on my mobile app were dead in the water. Seems I should have logged on, on the laptop and found you all! How are things going? I catch up with bits and pieces on your fb. I knew about your laser surgery and NGR. Are you...

What's done is done! It's time to stop dwelling on all my past weight losses and gain. I can't change the past, nor does it need to control my future. So, no mentions of my journey so far...if anyone is really interested, there are numerous old diaries and postings on my profile ;) Tomorrow...

Hello Fran (and Katie :) ) Remember me? I've just come back onto MM's as plotting my latest restart and new life *rolls eyes at herself* and spotted your name! How are things? Looks like you are still getting those great losses. I will have a catch up of your diary later on, but thought I'd...

I would call Cambridges customer services, they are very helpful.

Hey vik, good to see you. I saw your fb status. And the one about the date? Spill?! :) No im not juddding, I dragged to sw by some girls at work but still tempted.

Yes got married 7th july. Did well for the wedding, then over indulged and regained a lot of it. So trying the find a path to.follow again.

Hi leeds good to see you. Ive not been posting for a long time but still checking in :)

Hello all! Today is my first day JUDDDing and I thought I'd start how I mean to go on and get a diary in action :) I'm a serial yo-yo dieter and binge eater and have tried just about every plan going. But after 2 years of playing around with VLCD's, I am feeling very lost with reagrds to weight...

Afternoon ladies (& gents)! First day JUDDDing today, have seen it become more and more popular across the forum the last few months and figured seeing as I am pretty lost with regards to plans/diet at the moment, i'd give it a go. Looking forward to following you all...am off to start a new...

Hey sal, how you doing?

Sounds like you might have been compromised. Id change your password to be safe.

Yay to the flat tummy. My is nowhere near flat but scott did comment the other day on how it no longer comes out further than my boobs...lol

Don't you just love men's helpful input! Hope your feeling brighter soon :)

Prove her wrong....people are so fricking rude sometime. I dont know where they get off?

If it comes to it could you switch to a different cdc? Can you contest it with cambridge and question where it states it in their literature etc?

Well I have ibs and have never heard of that. I am sure cambridge would lose 50% of their customers if they did that. Just dont tell them your cdc's details!

A tent! Behave :) You'll never be in a tent again. Funny you should say about the leggings, as I wore my leggings yesterday (and I usually only save leggings for wearing to bed in the winter), but I wore them riding (as my jodhpurs are now too big) and I thought to myself, I can actually see a...

I'll let ya know...and I deserve my 1lb losses! Only myself to blame, sadly!

I got a couple of mango too, am gonna MAM then :)

Woohoo! Well done :) Great loss and like you say you are on track! I've done two weeks of 1lb losses....very much not on track :(

Try to not let it break your focus sal. I did and my week 3 resulted in 1lb loss. Feel like i wasted a week, if i had stayed on track i was heading for a 3-4 lb loss.

Sounds like my kinda book:) well done on weigh in.

There is a whole website. Just google people of walmart.

Amazing! So thrilled for yoy.. X

I would do what you feel is right for you and your body, you aren't accountable to anybody but yourself. Maybe try upping the plans a little to see if that helps with the symptoms. Or maybe jsut take it 1 day at a time, every day extra is a day closer to goal right? Or what about upping the...

The fact you are worried, makes me think you still have all the determination and sensible reasoning you need :)

How amazing would that be to hit a stone bracket a week :) anythings possible?!

Ouch! I took two dulcolax. Never taken it before and ignored the advice to only take 1 the first time, so was up in the night, but felt much better for it today :) Finally got my BMI below 40! Yay!

Don't be too hard on yourself, you've come so far and your body is so different now that it's only human nature to relax. 6 days on plan, is better than 6 days off it?!

2nd weeks weigh in and 5lbs down....though I am thinking that is due to the laxative I took last night. So feel like I cheated a little bit. 10 more weigh in's till the wedding :)

Yay for day 4 sal! Did the last pack do the job?!

I'll have a look later on, just off to weigh in now. Will report back shortly ;)

Wow you're whizzed through them lbs! Keep it up, the effort pays off :)

Maybe you should add in some other markers (14lbs seems loads in my head), like stone brackets and BMI brackets you'll hit in between your original targets. I like completing things and being able to tick them off! So little goals all the way for me :)

Hey nicci! 2nd weigh in tomorrow...am loving that app, I downloaded a few and had a play around with them, but the one you've suggested was the best. I'm obsessive about my weigh ins, so am hoping it might stop me obsessing over the numbers and just concentrate on making sure the line goes down :)

I find I tend to rebel against goal, so I've tried not to set any, but..... * I want to lose 2 stone by the wedding which is 2.5lbs a week. * I need to lose another 5lbs to get my BMI below 40 (want to hit that in the next two weigh ins). * Then the next one will be 3 stone lost (11lbs away). *...

Name: Kez Age:27 Height: 5'4" Weight: 237 Goal Weight in 100 DAYS: 38 What is your motivation: My wedding on 7th July, to break the 200's by the end of the challenge. What is your pledge for week 1: Stick to plan! And some extra questions (Up to you if you want to answer these) What are your...

Am liking your postiveness Sal, it's amazing how much easier it all seems when you've got the right head on.....jsut wish I knew the secret to finding that head :)

I was going to ask the same...lol

As much as i can by the wedding, im hoping 2 stone is realistic :)

Im only back on week 2 and hate it already. Id much rather be on sw :( but with the wedding 11 weeks away i am now running on desperation and panic rather than motivation!

Excellent! I wasn't questioning it, just curious as I know a friend of mine who's daughter is diabetic has gone into ketoacidosis before now and been rushed to hospital and when I went onto CD she kept telling me how dangerous it was! I had to argue with her that it was only dangerous if you...

Are you in ketotis then kfirth? I thought that was bad for diabetics? Or is keto-acidosis different to ketosis?

Surf, you are doing a me! You need to take the pressure off, you are telling yourself you are going to fail, so you are! You need to give yourself a break, take a breather and have faith in yourself :) You can do it, you have done it and you will do it again ;)

Amazing! Thats a really fantastic loss :)

Kaitey is right, after all ketostix were designed for diabetics to check they arent in ketosis, not cd'ers to check they are. The 1000 plan should still give very good results:)

Do you think these bouts of gastro have had anything to do with your IBS troubles of late?

I completely share your frustration, but I just try to remind myself that its my problem not theirs and they dont deserve to suffer as well. But it can seem quite hurtful sometimes.

I remember the moment the dip above my collarbone re-appeared?! :)

Lol...I figured thats probably what you meant :)

Well done! I too had a 100% day 5...just need to do a few more. I'm feeling less bloated, but not thinner.

Ooh! Interesting?! Maybe they are just making us suffer on water for the fun of it?

I think Dr Pepper Zero is ok too? Don't sprite do a zero version now?! Might have to check that one out.

Apparently its to do with the high concentration of vits and mins. All you can do for water rention is be consistant with your water levels...its such being a woman sometimes. Im due on sunday and am currently a walking sponge :(

You could look at it as a more consistant and efficient way to lose weight, that not more effective.

You dont need to be ketosis to lose weight, but while you are in ketosis your body is using its own fat stores to make energy. Which is also why it helps with the hunger pangs and it has an unlimited source. When you arent in ketosis your body gets its energy from carb stores. We can only store...

You can have coke zero as it contains no citric acid which affects ketosis. Diet coke does contain citric acid. But it should be drunk in addition to your water intake, your kidneys still need to flush through the toxic ketones that ketosis produces. There is a sticky somewhere of drinks that...

Hiya, fellow Kerry and CDer here :) well done on being so strong, im on day 4 of my umpteenth attempt at CD. Will check back again to see how you're doing.

Love this! lol....I too am on Day 4 and had rumbles all day. But it kinda felt good! I live in Perranporth, just down the road from Newquay and haven't been to the beach to swim in the summer since I was a kid. Would be good to join the tourists sometime in the near future!

How is everyone getting on since the challenge?

Stay strong, day 2 is the hardest! Well I think so anyway.

Well done on day 2! I find day 2 the hardest, after tomorrow you should be reaching ketosis and it will get easier then. Get through tomorrow and it'll start to get easier...promise! I am day 2 today as well :)

Hey sal....guess what?! Appointment with cdc booked for tomorrow evening. Day1 today...havent weighed and will try to not look tomorrow evening at weigh in too. It doesnt matter anymore, its not the weight but the inches that matter. Feel a little bit liberated?! Lol :) hope your killer shift is...

I get palpatations too...like a flutter in my chest. I mentioned mine to my doctor and he told me when it happens to take my heart rate. Which I do and as my heart rate never alters (isnt racing or dropping), just seems normal...Ive not worried. But if you are there anyway mention it, but it...

I am starting today too...looking forward to seeing how you get on :)

Lol...the hospital ones are meant to be much more sensitive and reliable. I know a couple of nurses on CD who use ones from work.

I get a real gacky taste in my mouth and i kind of feel cold inside?! If that makes sense...but i still find myself checking with the sticks :)

No, not wrong at all. But you don't need to be in ketosis to lose weight, you could be eating 400kcals a day of pure carbs and you would still lose as much weight, but you would most likely not be in ketosis, because you would be topping up your carb stores. Which would mean the headache, carb...

Somebody told me once that drug addicts are always chasing that first time high. They take more and more to try to match that first hit. Does anyone else feel like that with food? I always think the first mouthful is bliss....then scoff and scoff, but it never tastes as good as the first mouthful.

I think it contains citric acid which is to be avoiddd.

No you dont need to be in ketosis to lose weight, the ketosis process just helps with the cravings and hunger pangs. Even if you did drop out if ketosis, you be back in it within a day.

Xxxxxxxxxxx

Well gym this morning and zumba tone this evening....feeling exhausted now. Polar watch is showing 3115kcals burnt so far...900 of them earnt through exercise...1950 kcals food in...so a deficit of over a 1000kcals so far....which must equal a loss! lol Looking forward to weighing tomorrow to...

Hey Dappy....I'm feeling a bit more positive today, though still not a happy bunny! I track on the WW website, I get 37 points daily (and should use them all), then you get an additional 49 points a week to spend if you choose to...think weekly syns in SW land. Plus if you use all your daily...

Why does it have to be so hard?!

Definately not enough water, maybe I should start there? Im tracking food on MFP and propoints on WWs. I use a polar monitor so I hope my kcals burnt are accurate. Im going to wear my heart monitor for 24 hours tomorrow to see what my actual kcals burnt are like compared to my BMR. Might give...

I know ive raved on about them before, but digestive enzymes from the health food place were amazing for my ibs when it first started :)

Good luck for today. Fingers crossed x

Weigh in last night and 1lb off. Wanted more but glad it was something. 17.4 now

Woohoo...go nikki

Hi guys! Just dropping in to say hello and well done to everyone who's still losing. 3 weeks ago when I stepped out of the challenge I put on 11lbs!!!!! Through bingeing, refeeding etc. But I'm on WW now and as of this morning, I am 0.5lb off being back where I was! I am trying my best to be...

Lol....ignorance is bliss. What do make of the kettle balls, do they hurt your back?

Morning and evening....though its a BAD habit! It doesnt do me any good but i cant stop myself...lol

Lol....i seem to before be in the 17's. Just bouncing from one end to another! Im sure if I hadn't have binged then I wouldnt have had such a big first week. The second week I really upped my exercise too.

I spent 1 week bingeing when I came off and gained 11lbs...my own fault. Then lost 6lbs the first week on ww and 3.5 lb the next week. So another 1.5 to go. It was my own fault for gaining so much, only my greed to blame.

Im in week 3 of ww's after being on cambridge/exante.

3.5lb down for me.....17st 5lbs.

I just noticed your title on your other diary and thought I'd come find you! :)

thanks niki, i actually gained 11lbs 3 weeks ago on my re-feed. The gym is all new to me so I am just trying to do as much cardio as I can. Ive got a polar watch, so use that...I just aim to keep my bpm above 135?! Do you think I could be not eating enough? Any ideas how far below your mbr you...

Hey nikki, hope you are feeling more like yourself and things around you are more positive. Did you have a nice mothers day? I wanted to pick your brains....am back on weight watchers. Last week the first week i lost 6lbs, went swimming once and did one 2 mile walk. This week I have gained so...

Did anyone else catch the final?! I am so inspired...! How amazing did Jessie look?I'll be careful what I say unless anyone has yet to watch it, but it just makes me think 'That was in 24 weeks'. I have got 17 till my wedding, imagine, what I could do in that time?

Evening ladies...just moved down into the 17's...hopefully will be down and out of them again pretty soon :)

Week 1 weigh in this evening, so I'm off to the 17's to 16's. Good luck to everyone else :)

Me too, weigh in tonight!

Well full bloods means they are taking it half seriously, at least she didnt just send you away with laxatives and tell you come back if it doesnt improve. Keep pushing for answers :)

Well.done on the diary...I always come out thinking...oh I forget to say about this and ask about that! I hope is goes well, dont get fobbed of. Tell them you need answers.

I second mels suggestion. As a kid, I started becoming clumsy, bashing into things (still do now). Not being distruptive in class, more ignorant...as if I was being cheeky. In my own little world...turns out I was 80% deaf in my left ear. Though Im sure ems school is wise to signs and symptoms...

Hope you're feeling a bit brighter today Sal and that you managed to get a good nights sleep.

Im sure you've thought of it all already, but can you think of any possible triggers. Does stretching, curling up, warmth etc make it any bettr?

Hi ladies...I started WW on monday and weighed in at 18st and 0.5 lb. Ive just come off CWP too.

I recently had a smear test, like less than 6 months ago...so that would have shown up PID wouldnt it? Also had a sexual health screening about 4 years ago. never heard anything back, so assumed all clear. Only been with scott since. I just get a bit freaked out and start convincing myself im...

You are always welcome surf! woey or not :) Ive been having lots of abdominal discomfort lately, am starting to think I should maybe go for a check up. Feels like when you are about to come on, but constant and im not due for 2 weeks ?! hopefully your appointment monday sheds some light.

You did right as far as I understand the plan. You can save your activity points to use later in the week, but it's the same as the weekly points, they have to be used that week, you can't roll them over. Good luck for weigh in!

Hello all...just checking in to say I have decided to leave the world of VLCD and have a go at WW's. I was poorly rough last week and knocked myself out of ketosis with medicines and cough sweets etc etc. Plus I needed to eat...this tempted me into over indulging though, which then lead me to...

wow you cant even recognise the first person anymore!

Sts for me ladies and as we reach the final week I am going to bow out of the challenge. I am sat in a WW meeting as we speak as I need a fall back. I am getting into my usual bingeing cycle again! Its no good! Have loved doing the challenge and I am sure I will be back again.....I always do :)

I felt bad for tamara as was started to warm to her, but maybe if her attitude hadnt been so bad in the beginnning?

No I guess they wouldnt of without the show. Maybe sometimes I get rose tinted glasses cause of cd? Seeinv people losing big numbers each week becomes the norm. Im not sure I could cope with sw 1lb a week anymore?

Did anyone catch the shows last night? I'm so pleased Sarah made it through to the final, she's been a complete trooper, even though everyone ganged up on her! I was quite suprise that the losses were only what they were? Two of the girls had only lost 3 stone...which I know is still a lot of...

Morning ladies...well I did it! I finally went swimming. I love it when I go, but just hate dragging myself out of bed :( Up at 6am, sent Scott off to work, fed and sorted the dogs, went and sorted the horses, then swimming for half an hour. I usually go for half an hour and set myself a...

Well I was chuffed with todays weigh in, but annoyed with myself for falling off the wagon today. 3 little mouthful chunks of flapjack, some chicken at lunch and a mushroom and ham omelette for tea. I am wondering whether to go back up to 810 and start getting some swimming in?! 18 weeks till...

Mine too! nom nom

The only thing I can compare it to is that when I was 10 stone I was a size 10! But that was about 12 years ago! lol :) All the weights and sizes in between I have no idea?

Poo! im 5'4 and hoping i am going to get into an 18 in the next 2 stone. but you're 5 stone ahead of me! boohoo!

What height are you?

Week 8 Weigh in = 241.2lbs....which is 4.2lbs down by my reckoning? :)

Weigh in today! Am down 4.2lbs...am pretty chuffed with that. You always want a little bit more, like now I wish I'd got another 1.2lbs so that I'd hit 2 stone....but it's ok, I'll save it for next week :)

How many days in are you? Eating wont necessarily help, though if you can get some packs down it'll give your body a bit of something. Plenty of fluids is good though!

Oops...not posted in my diary since last week! Have been on plan all week, have been a very good girl. Had a couple of omlettes and a few cheesestrings, but other than that just my packs. Am hoping the scales reward me well in the morning :) Can't wait to see the 16's!

I LOVE CD porridge? I'd ask if I'm wierd but I know NIkki loves them too!

Fantastic Camille, you must really be noticing a difference now?

Even once you're used to it, you'll still be peeing for england. But you must keep the water up....its important you flush out all the ketones that are produced by ketosis.

lol...maybe best not to focus too much. I just hate being restless?!

It seems to affect different people in different ways. I cant say Ive had problems sleeping on a vlcd before...but it is something that seems to crop up quite often.

I am so fed up with not sleeping! Been really restless for a week.

I know that I personally rebel against targets and deadlines. I put so much pressure on myself, that I set myself up to fail. And when I fail, I just rebel even more telling myself...'See I knew I couldn't do it!'. So this time I am just trying to be as good as possible and lose as much as...

I've dropped a dress size but all I feel is less bloated.

Ive got another 7 stone to go, so I guess its no wonder I cant notice yet.

I dont notice anything until after 2 stone. Im at 22 lbs. So another 7lbs and hopefully I'll start seeing something.

Well I actually lost 8lbs this week but only 1.5lbs counts as I wasnt honest to myself about the 6.5lb gain from my birthday bingeing. But Im back in the game! And no more kidding myself and not being accountable for naughties!

Well weigh in results are 8lbs! yay! Thats the birthday binge gone plus a little more. Am feeling a difference in my stomach and clothes now. I feel less bloated!

Thanks guys..it seems my totm has finally caught up with me! Weigh in, in a bit! :) eek

Me too...I just use a nonstick omelette pan.

Having the wierdest period. For about 3 days I have felt like I am about to come on. Getting cramps and pains. Finally came on today, but have only spotted?! I know vlcd can trigger unusual menstrual cycles, but its never happened to me before...its a little bit worrying?

I dont think a vlcd ever goes as well any other time than the first, I dont know whether your body knows whats coming and fights it or what. Also I think after the first time we are tempted to sneak the odd bits in here and there, where as first time we are much stricter. With the weight gain...

Lol...yes time of the month! New car is a black shogun sport warrior. Google it...its amazing :) You getting a beemer nikki? What have you got now?

oops....I didnt think about that! lol. Weigh in is Tuesday and crappy week has ended on a good note. I've got a new car :)

Day 5 and finally ketosis is here! Yay!

wow well done katie baby!

Well Day 3 and hopefully a brighter day today! The urgent car part is on order and is being fixed today, the medicine has been bought for the horse and will be administered tomorrow morning then a watchful eye kept on him over the weekend...knowing my luck, he'll colic and I'll ahve to get the...

In moderation....no! As long as you dont use it to replace your normal water intake and have it in addition, not in place of!

Day 2 and the scales dropped this morning...mind you, I got up twice in the night for a wee...I NEVER go for a wee in the night?! And been peeing for England all day. Am sure I am due to get my TOTM and time now though? Probably tonight or in the morning.....joy of joys! Well....I've had a...

Day 1 again! But made it through. Didnt get enough water down, but food intake was good. Is it bad that Im peeved that the scales are up from this morning. I love that day 1 you usually weigh less at the end of the day than I did in the morning. I even felt like just cooking up a pizza...but I...

Im not going to wi this week as day1 restart for me. So hopefully a good 1 next week.

Hey Shanny...no didn't do 810, probably more like a 3000 day...lol! But it's ok, I'm getting my head back in the game! I've just placed a new order of products and I am feeling positive about being pro-active. I did 4 weeks on plan and had a weeks blip off plan. I'm about 4-5lbs up....so if...

No SW or WW meetings near me tonight! Guess I'll have to carry on alone for a few days and just man up a bit!

May go along to a slimming world meeting tonight....hoo hum. I begrudge paying someone to weigh me. But seeing as my scales are being naughty anyway.....

Hmm...been so long since I last posted. Since then I have gone completely off the rails :( I came off plan last friday for my birthday and have been off since. I've gained about 5lbs :( Can't seem to find any kind of motivation to go back on plan :( I've been trying to eat healthy but just...

STS for me too I'm afraid :( Had my birthday off and paid for it! Good luck to everyone else, I WILL do better next week :)

Weigh in today was 2.1lbs down! Yay! Made my 2lb weekly target...and have done 2 days SS! Am back into ketosis and would just love to get a big loss this week to keep me motivated, but I will genuinely be happy with another two. Im starting to feel a difference in my clothes. I generally do when...

So many people getting injured and fainting this year? In both uk and us? Do you think they are unhealthier contestants, weaker or just being feeble?

At least your back into new weight now nikki

Wow emz, you're rocking it!

2.1lbs down for me :)

Hey, im getting married in july too! Ive got 9 stone to loose in all, which i wont do for the wedding, but just trying to get as much off as possible. Started a 24, hoping i can get into at least an 18....a 16 would be lush!

Oops, just remembered we've got Kaiser Chiefs on Saturday. Will have to do steak with dad sunday night instead :)

Well I though it was about time I checked in and confessed! Started to struggle last week, not with the lack of food, but with boredom! 3 weeks plus of exactly the same thing each day. Anyway, I went off plan Saturday, had some Ritz crackers, munched on 4 tesco slim bars, didn't drink...

Bugger....i just wrote a really long post then pressed the wrong button on my phone and lost it! Im still here too! Weigh in tuesday. Hope everyone had a good weekend?

These are me this year....I disgust myself. My only saving grace is that the horse is the size of a rhino!

Ok, I'm flagging a bit today and just when I needed it..someone posted some inspiration up on facebook! These are pics of me about 12 years ago, when I was truly happy with myself and my body and was doing what I loved...riding horses (well!).

Did anybody just catch Gerrards dirty glare at Paula with her weight loss! Some thing make me question where that relationship is going! I hope she gets enough confidence and self assurance to ditch him...he's just baggage to her!

Well done Black Team!

-2.7lbs for me. Nothing spectacular, but I'll happily take it....good luck to everyone else yet to weigh :)

Hehe and when I have it at work for lunch I make watery and have it like a mug shot! :)

At the weekends when I skip breakfast, for dinner I make double :)

Very true! Though it is my birthday treat and I dont want Scott to miss out, so we'll probably go to a little place I know where I can have an scrummy ham and cheese omelette...nom, nom, nom! Or an indian and I'll have tandoori chicken and salad. But there will be no KFC or Pizza Express or...

I dont mind the cottage pie, but I find it's got a bit of a funny after taste. I love, love, love the spag bol! Soo scrummy! I have a porridge, a bar and a spag bol every day :)

I have a spag bol every day. They're very similar in nutrients and carbs etc to cd packs.

We're all here for you sal xxx

Well my breath this morning tells me that maybe I am still in ketosis? The scales were up, as expected...up 3lbs in fact. So if the scales stay the same then tomorrows weigh in will be a STS....which I wont be happy about to be honest? I'd set myself a goal of 2lbs a week. I know it's week 3...

Well ate far, far too much! But....no potatoes, no yorkshires, no parsnips and no stuffing. Lots of pork, carrots, peas and mushrooms. Did have gravy though. I am feeling very,very full...I know the scales are going to be up tomorrow and im out of ketosis...again! But hopefully I can do...

Morning all, still on plan. Had a slip up friday night as other half arranged for us to go and see friends for wine a nibbles! I threw a massive strop but couldnt really get out of it without causing insult or having to explain the diet. Which i didnt feel comforyable discuss with the number of...

The hair loss is just down to the low calorie intake. Our body decides what more important to spend the calories on and hair growth is bottom of the list. Same thing happens with pregnant ladies :)

Thanks shanny! Feeling a little bit miffed that my sister just lost 6.5lbs on week 1 of slimming world...lol!

Your head needs to be in the right place. If you fight against it, you will be miserable. You need to be able to accept the diet in a positive way.

I dont think ive been in the sea for years? Not in cornwall anyway..its blinkin freezing. But when i was a kid id be in there for hours at a time!

So.... Even though i think i had another great week weight loss wise, i am noticing that i am pushing the boundaries. Having 3 sometimes 4 products a day and a 400-500 kcal meal. I need to keep a check on this, as doing this now we're into week 3 isnt going to bode well on the scales. Which...

Lol...tiz ok! Maybe being cornish im a water baby, but it did suprise me!

;) im not long back myself, but it really does make huge amounts of difference!

Thanks hun....wont be long till you and maisy are waltzing down the aisle! :)

Glad im not the only one kes!

Is anyone else amazed at how scared everyone is of water?

I get mine from boots, but you have to ask on the pharmacy counter and i have to explain everytime what they are!

Well done blues....again! Congrats emz, doing amazing!

Everyone knows the deadlines sal!

You can get far cheaper versions in boots. Just ask for soluable fibre.

I think they're on their way out, Ive tried a new battery and have stood on them 10 times and im still getting different readings each time. Grr!

Woohoo! Hey hun, welcome back.

Week 2 WI = 5lbs down :)

Well I am so mad with my scales (and myself). I stupidly moved them last night as I couldnt understand why I always kept them in the cold spare room? Did a sneaky weigh in last night, just to make sure I was on track for weigh in this morning. I was 7lbs up on the scales....now I know its an...

Congrats helen!

I think you'll finf that those weights are what they want to lose.

And lots of water always helps.

A gentle laxative then a fibre supplement should help you stay regular.

Glad you went Nikki, it's put a line under last week and gives you a positive fresh start for this week.

Oh mate, I feel for you, I really do! It's so ahrd when you ave to be the rock for everyone else, when inside you just want to fall apart. You've told your dad now the reality of the situation, hopefully once he's had time to obsorb it and deal with it in his own head he will be able to help...

Week 1 =5lbs, week 2 set to be another 5lbs. It may not be as huge a loss as SS, but ive failed so many times on that...id rather take the smaller losses and stay on track longer. :)

And try mix a mousse...its a life saver for me. When you get tetras, freeze a chocolate one, its just like ice cream!

Im doing 810 and I having lots of omlettes with things like onion and mushroom in. Or cheesy scrambled eggs. Or chicken with cottage cheese, lettuce and cucumber. Im not feeling like im missing out, im thoroughly enjoying my evening meal. Wish id done 810 before.

Just re-read that and realised it might sound quite harsh against your sister, it wasnt meant to....I just hate it when people give their unhelpful comments and opinions. Theres that old saying 'if you cant say anything nice?' :)

Sounds like your sister needs to address her attitude! How incredibly unsupportive and those comments just ooze of *****iness?! Why would she want you to stay big? Why would she insult the way you were before. She should be happy for you, and keep her opinions to herself! You never fail, until...

Im on my phone so cant like it, but love this post mel. You sum it up, its ok to not be perfect :)

Hahaha...I get soo angry listening to people eat. You can hear the spit all swilling about. ARGH!!! My other half gulps his drinks soo loudly...I have to walk out the room! Lol

Hmmm....weekend danger zone! Have eaten far too much today. Had a spag bol pack, then did a tesco shop and had a sausage off the deli counter, then ate ALL the skin off a cooked chicken, plus some chicken, then had some biltong, then cooked fajitas for scott and had some of the chicken...

Why dont you aim to stay on plan and arrange celebrations around it....BUT! If you find you need to do more, then dont beat yourself up and just go with the flow. You can get back ob track the next day. You have enough stress and pressure on you without you adding guilt into it too. :) x

What plan you doing? Maybe up to 810 see if it helps? Im getting as good results as I would on ss.
