Hi guys! Hayles seems like a good idea! I know I'd look better at christmas if i do lose the weight considering what my boyfriend wants to buy me lol ;) So far so good, stuck to it 90% (had a pack of refreshers for a treat at work!) Just eating my dinner of a jacket potato, salad and tuna :)...

congratulations thats wonderful! I love the secrecy behind it! I wouldnt worry about bad food, its a day to be enjoyed!

Cheers guys! Just weighed in at 12st13! opps! Right well 3 stone to go in 4 months... dont know if i can do it but I'll give it a damn good shot! Hoping for at least 2! :stickdance:

Hey everyone! I'm back after near enough a 2 month absence, only gained half a stone but I am thinking it's time to get my butt back on track and try and lose the extra 2 and half stone for christmas! My supplies have just arrive through the wonder of home delivery (thank god as the...

they are 2 box (of 3 bars) for £3.50 at the moment. i have the choch ones which are ok, not the greatest! think they also do summer fruits? not too sure!

capsiplex is meant to be good, its the only over the counter slimming pill that contains something used in the obese tablets you can get from the docs. has been used by people like britney. try googling it sold out within a few days when it went on sale a few weeks back, considering getting...

i like the strawberry ready made ones for when im at work or on the go (or i have a bar) but at home i prefer the powder as you can blend it with ice and it goes all fluffy and fills a pint glass so you feel like youre getting more out if it! and its nice in this hot weather! Also just noticed...

Well its not so much training but you can do things like theres 3 different exercises for each of the games. its next to the fitness bit where it tells you your fitness age! Sports active i love! but need to get back onto it. again, due to brothers mates being in the house 24/7 i find it hard!

I walk 4 miles to and from work 5 days a week. Sometimes use my x trainer, but havent recently due to not using it when people are over as i dont want them to see me sweating! lol I have wii sports which i do the training bit on (i ache the next day so it must do something!) I also have sports...

i would have thought it would have included milk

Yeah you could easily balance it out with your meal or reducing snacks, or just put it as experience and try not to do it again :) i've done it many a time! :D

Well after saying i had the motivation to stay on track at the weekend i didnt :( i fell into the temptation of camping and snacking all day! so gained an extra 7lbs (no idea it would be that much!!!!) by monday, but now back down by 6lbs :D Think it the adios, as i was stuck for ages and...

Really? my mum has one at her house! i thought they just toned? Plus if i were to be one one for 30min would have burned more than i would have consumed in the day!

Well done! I was just wondering how you can work out your fat %? Or do you have one of those special machines?!

Tonight i think i will have a ww pita (as only 100 cal) filled with either, tuna and sweetcorn with mayo, or chicken flavoured with bbq and salad with some wedges on the side :D My other half likes pittas with cheese and bacon melted since i made them for him, so this way i dont feel like im...

ha ha! :sign0007: my bad! I have the belvita biscuits (i think thats what they are called!) for breaky and an US bar for lunch. I like the US ready made shakes, to be honest i haven't tried the SF ready made ones, only the powder so i couldn't comment!

:wow:... didnt expect this many replies! Cheers guys :D Well, i just couldn't help myself and weighed myself this morning and im am so so pleased to say i have actually seen the scales at 12.7! i finally managed to get to a stone and half loss! I think its the adios thats helping, and i...

Dont mean to sound stupid whats b & l?

Thats great! when hit a stone i got a comment of a work mate and another friend, and i didnt tell anyone i was on a diet :D makes you feel good and gives motivation!

Hey all, first just want to say well done to those of you who are showing a weight loss, it gives encouragement! My main point is ive been stuck at the same weight for about 4/5 weeks now. seems the only thing that will help shift it is if i do extra exercise ontop of my walking 4 miles a day...

This is why i tend to vary my lunch and breaky, dont really use the shkes anymore, cereals better than the shakes!

i weighted myself again today... another 4 i've gained... oh dear :(

I did the GoLower diet, and that was expensive. (sent cereal, bars and food packets plus snacks) If you look closely at what your getting, you can quite easily get similar food from your supermarket at a fraction of the price. (they sell soups at %3ish, you could easily buy one the same from...

I've put 3lbs on! but that did involve a bbq, roast, and 2 nights drinking so im thinking its not too bad! oh well here's to another week! And dont give up the hard work, doesnt matter which route you take, its about getting to the destination!

a medium potato is around 200cal, look on the can to see beans cals (i dont eat them personally!) and salad would be somewhere around 50 depending on what it was and how much you had! or just look onFree Calorie Counter, Diet & Exercise Journal | MyFitnessPal.com I tend to have the pre made...

you sure its not the asda be good range, cant seem to find dropweight?!

some of the comments on the bottom really p*ssed me off on that article. obviously "perfectly skinny people who dont have an ounce of fat on them" and would never have need to use such a product! idiots

Hey have been looking at slimming aids. Firstly does anyone whos taken them actually had a result? Most work on the basis of a calorie controlled diet (which I've never done before until now), so i may be tempted to try just to get my weight loss going again as I'm starting to flag (I'm ok till...

I would say go somewhere where you are able to know the nutritional value (even macdonalds tell you) and just say a chicken burger is around 440cal i think, then this would be your lunch, and just take 240cal off your evening meal or snacks or do some excercise in the evening and burn off the...

i bought some of them as there were half price in tesco!

As for snacks and lunches, I seem to be drifting away from the bars and shakes now and just watching my calorie intake. for example at work i'll snack on cup a soups (65cal), cereal bars etc. as for lunch I tend to have either pot noodle in a mug (about 140cal) or a mug shot (240 cals, depending...

im on the implant and i still have periods, i had my weigh in and only lost 1lb, next day when i came off and after 30min of exercise i lost 3lb overnight! plus you put weight on when its totm

im trying to lose 4st too, weighed myself today (shouldn't have mind you! my weigh in is on Tuesdays) and I've lost 17lb so far, in about 8 weeks but i did have a pretty rubbish week for 3 of them!

oh dont get me started on the happy meals :) even their sweet chilli chicken deli is under 600cal :D

also on myfitness people can add their own entries (so some could be their own homemade versions with varying calories), so if its a brand you eat, then check on the packet not just on there. Just had a quick look at Tesco, their large sushi packs (400g approx) are around 500cal. dont know if...

It's not so much whats healthy, obviously its a bonus, but once or twice a week i have oven chips (100g @ 150cal) and a tesco mini pizza (95g @ 270cal) with a small salad (approx 70cal)! so for 490cal i can still eat the things i like! it just means i have to look around for ones which aren't so...

Welcome! I'm sure you'll do fine here!

try drinking more fluids, exercise more (even if its walking) or do as ive started to do, start taking in less calories, by eating the same things but ones with less calories in them e.g. i used to have a cup a soup 93 cal now swapped for tescos light choices 65, so i eat the same, so i dont...

i walk 4 miles each day to work and back, then im trying to get on my x trainer for 30min a night, tried the gym but was too expensive! so bought my own x trainer as it was my fav thing for £75 :)

well done keep at it!

the way i work out how many calories is go onto www.myfitnesspal.com and look for each thing, time consuming but it gives you a pretty good idea! also realising how many calories things have can sometimes be shocking! or check packaging? but from the sounds of it a dont recon it would no more...

oh i weighed myself again today hoping my 30mins on the cross trainer would help... and i've lost 4lbs! also with it being totm i think thats got something to do with it! so going to get on the x trainer most nights now and see what happens next week :D

Well after missing weigh in yesterday, did it today instead... and fail! gained 3lb :( didnt even do as much excercise as i would normally and had a takeaway which i dont normally have! Oh well better start trying harder!

you can have a sandwich if you chose it or what goes into it carfully, sometimes i have a cheese and ham, just means i cant have a snack or i have 100 less cals for my main meal

i lied it was 3 1/2 but not in one sitting!

i had 2 1/2 burgers and some fries from mac donalds this weekend (not having any since last year sort of crept up on me!) and i still managed to lose 2lb, and my daily calories were over. so there is hope!

Thats strange?! especially if you are sticking to it! could it not be that you are gaining muscle at the gym and its just conter-balancing the fat you are losing? I used to go to the gym about a year ago but it showed no results, but i think it may have had something to do with being on a low...

Hey all! I've decided im going to do an 8 week challenge (as it would be around my birthday!) and with today being my weigh in I though I might as well start today! So far in 6 weeks i've lost 15lbs, so working out at an average of 2.5lb a week. I'm going to up my game (more exercise...

B 2 slices of warburtons seeded batch with butter S Harvester chewee bar L Crisps and chewee bar (realised i ran out of shakes/bars this morning to had to grab something!) S Tesco value caramel wafer D Homemade mushroom and bacon quiche yum :P(360cal per serving) with salad and tesco light...

thats 1235 so yeah well done!

why dont you sign up to www.myfitnesspal.com there you can find calories in most foods, and keep a record online and add excercise etc, it's helped me stick to the right amount of calories as i can actually see when ive gone over and when im having a good day! oh and you can also record your...

just also noticed their pre made shakes are only £1! where as tesco sell them for £1.58 or 2 for £2

thats how much the slim fast powders are

i couldnt see anything?! saw big tubs (like protien poweders) but there were about £30 if not more!

i thought it was a bit low!

ah i've just found it, the powdered tesco ones! never knew they were lower in calories!

peanuts just wondering how a shake is 135cal? as the ones im using are 220ish?!

WI today, lost 2 pounds, im still over eating on the weekend which doesnt help and drinking but i didnt drink as much as i have! just need to stop eating the roasts and pre made sandwiches!

£8 is expensive for a tin!!!!

today for me is looking like this b-2 slices toast with butter s-oatybix bar l-US meal bar s-tesco value caramel wafer and a time out finger later on! d-is going to be, 2 bacon 2 eggs and 1 slice of toast Done really well yesterday in that i didnt over snack, infact i managed to have 1100...

???

cheers judith :) here to trying to not over snack today!

hey and welcome! at a guess i recon it would probabily take you 2 months, maybe 2 and half! But im not sure how men lose weight!

just seen tesco have bars at 2 packs for £5 and pre made drinks at 2 for £2, valid until 11/5, ok but still not as good value as US!

do you have a microwave at work? i didnt when i worked in a shop so i bought one (later went on to be two as i moved shops and gave one to my bro!) just so i could eat there and not eat the junk food we sold. then a micromeal would be quick and easy, or soup which i used to do. but tonight im...

and yeah i have looked at my loss as an average and i suppose its ok!

cheers guys im going out this weekend but was thinking about driving so i wouldnt drink, plus wouldnt wake up feeling like poo the day after too! i suppose my day is pretty spcaed out, i have breakfast about 7/7:30, snack between 10/11 lunch between 12/1 snack about 2/4 then dinner between...

Right well its the end of my 3rd week and again i've stayed the same, better than putting it on i know but still.... Bad points... drinking at weekends should really stop this not drinking enough water and i've also started binging in the evenings.... so i know what im doing wrong its just...

no i haven't sona but i did have a piece with cheddar on it last night lol. :P today i have messed up already, breakfast - shake snack - 1 oranage and crisps (2nd orange was dry inside?!) so over by 100 already Lunch - forgot shake, so prob have my choc and fudge bar (they are soooo nice and...

ok this is going to sound odd but was actually quite nice! Beef bourguinon (from my days at go lower) with a slice of bread also a naan with soft cheese to finish off as i still calories left over, was rather full after that! strange i know but it was rather nice! :)

hmm with easter, having 2 large family dinners and 2 nights out drinking, managing to stay the same im not so bothered about! hopefully get a loss next week! snack time soon, belly is rumbling!

thats not healthy at all, you need more calories than that

if you're not eating enough your body will think you are starving yourself, hence it holds onto calories, which will result in not losing weight

i think its realistic to lose that much, as long as you still to it. I've just done my first week and lost 6lbs weighed myself again today being curious and found i'm now down 10lb from my start weight and its not even 2 weeks! good luck! Just dont get to the point where you are feeling really...

well you dont have to go all in from day one, just do more as you feel like doing it when you're better :)

well i walk to work, so that makes up 4 miles each day for me... is there anyway you could do something like that? or just think of not driving (if you do) and walking or cycle to the shop, little things like that all add up!

oh and well done trivenam!!!

hey charlie we started the same day and the lost the same! altho i didnt like the powder too much, seeing on here to do it in a blender with some ice cubes really does make it some much better! think i will have to get the pre made ones for lunch at work tho, as the powder ones dont taste so...

if you try really hard and exercise more you could lose 2 stone! possibly more! go for it!

sounds good :) :( i forgot about easter tho! but a creme egg is only 175 cals, so i find having a smaller dinner, and combining the left over cals with my night snack i can have one :)

summer fruits, start 196, currently 190, lose.... 8 in 3 weeks

i tend to be on here when im at work and not in the evenings! i lost 6lbs in my first week despite my 2 huge meals :D might have to post some more to get the diaries! having my morning snack!

Seems like no one is hardly on here? Or very rarely does! How are we supposed to support each other if no ones there!? I need people to have a laugh with during these months! Anyway nearly finished week one, weigh in tomorrow! :) altho did have 2 HUGE dinners at the weekend and a bit of...

about the wind, it does get better! its my 4th day today and not evena hint of stomach upset! i know what you mean about sitting at your desk :crazy:! i know what you mean about feeling tubby, for the time being ive invested in a body stocking, it helps! cost just under 50 (its goes from thighs...

best of luck with sw :)

oh and its only on for a month!

its only the cafe ones that reduced in the 6 packs, chocolate and strawberry powders are now £3.99 and single ready ones made are £1.05!

i drink atleast a litre during the day then more in the evening. mind you it hasnt been as bad today so they might be going :)

im finding it better than i thought! managed to stick to it 100% the first 2 days, however this morning i was made breakfast of eggs, so think i will have to swap breakfast and dinner around today! didnt want to waste food :( they know im on a diet now so hopefully i wont have to stray again...

hey :) I though you started yesterday? I walk to work (4miles in total a day) and am going to try and use my cross trainer but i tend to lose motivation for it once i get home! also have something on my wii i could do but again, im too tired! However, just think how you're going to look in...

well done! :)

11lb in 3 weeks is good :) i just cant wait til i drop a dress size... shopping for clothes! however i have lost a stone and a half before and i was still the same size :( so think after 2 i'll see the difference more

I've just done my first day, and i found it to be ok! whenever you feel hungry just think, is it worth eating and risk not losing the weight, or can you actually hang on till your next meal/snack is due? of do something to take your mind off it such as ringing a friend for chat or i find having...

yeah sure! :) yeah course we can do it, I've worked out that i can let my weight keep creeping on, or for a few months, follow a diet, sort out an eating plan for when ive got to my target weight and keep the weight off. I dont want to give in! A few months/year on this and all those years of...

Hey, as you might have guessed :sign0144:! Been looking at diets recently after a family member started CS, i was going to follow it but then I realised its kind of similar to SF, and this is cheaper so thought I'd go with this! Previously done GL for 2 months and lost 1 and half stone, put it...
