    Oh My Life!! I have handed in my dissertation - a whole years worth of work summarised in 60 pages!! I am super glad I jumped on the scales this morning. I wasn't going to, cause I didn't want it to get me down, and then cause me to go and have a blow out after I handed my work in. BUT as you...

    Maintaining at Goal!

    Wow!! Big congrats on getting down to your target weight!! I also think its such a good idea to keep a diary now, because as great as losing weight is, we all just want to keep it off. I think everyone on here will agree...once we've lost the weight, we all have a tendency to think...great...

    Well, its been a long day. I'm had two tetras and a soup today. I made the soup a bit watery in the hope that it would fill me up a bit more...didn't really work!! But thats to be expected after my food binge I suppose! Isn't it funny how once we decide we want something to happen with our...

I'm not going to change any of my weight charts until I next get weighed by my CDC (which is a week on sunday). I'm hoping she will be very proud that I will have...

    ok so I know its only about 3 hours since my last post....but I'm bored...and thought I'd have a little vent about the dreaded SCALES!! So I bought some all singing all dancing scales in the hope that they would give me an acurate measurement of my weight. Which I'm sure they do, they also...

    Hi Vicky! Phew..the first few days are reallllllly hard! Once you're into it its really good! I would say, if you're finding it really hard just on the shakes and soups...try having a SS+ week to ease you into it? When you have a small low carb meal once a day too. Also....some days when I'm on...

    Day 30 - I'm pleased to say today and yesterday have been 100% days. I've SS+ a little bit, but I think that is now the best way for me to do it - I'm finding it too hard to give up food. So I thought I'd just check in. I've now got the dress I wanted for my gradduation - I bought it in a size...

    5 days on CD

    Hi Popsie. I had the same thing on first week. I felt absolutely no difference (which has not been the case on other diets). My clothes all felt the same, I didn't really see a difference in my energy levels. BUT...I lost 9lbs on the first week! I think once all your water weight has gone and...

    oooo good luck!! Sounds like your head is in the right place! You are so unlucky to be working in a restaurant whilst trying to lose weight! I used to work in a pub and there was always a chip or a spare bag of crisps to pick at...I don't envy you!! Well done for being strong! The first few...

    Right. I'm in a fowl mood. Hence now I am venting on here to all you poor people reading this. I ate chicken for lunch today - which I know is not bad, but you didn't see how much of it I ate. Not good. I've got my weigh in on sunday and feel so guilty already. I've gone through my cupboards...

    OH NO OH NO OH NO!!! ARGH! I'm so cross at myself. I had not one, not two, but THREE chocolate bars yesterday. I knew I'd hate myself for it. But it was almost as if someone else had taken over my body and was saying "you need chocolate...NOW!" Poo! I'm really bummed out about it. I was hoping...

I had a good day yesterday. 100% all the way and feel 10x better for it this morning. So I'm oing to try and make it happen again. If I can get to friday with...

    Ahhh thanks that makes a lot more sense. I think overall losing weight is important but looking and feeling better is more important to me - I'd rather see the inches drop off quicker than the pounds. I think I will keep doing exercise - if nothing else it stops me think about food for an hour...

    Lisa D's Gonna Get Skinny Diary

    Hey Lisa!! You can do a 100% week! When you find something you think you want - just think about how much of it you've already had before this diet - and you'll be able to have it again sometime in the future, but right now you are losing weight...and that it going to make you happier than any...

    Hey everyone! Just a quick question...I've been doing a lot of exercise recently, and went to see my CDC yesterday (lost 4lbs yay!) and she said that it would slow down my weight loss if I did lots of cardio?? I always thought excercise would speed up weight loss? I don't want to do it if its...

    Ok so its day 21. Exactly three weeks now. I went for my weigh in today. Its only been 5 days since I last got weighed, but I really like being weighed on sundays, so I got it changed to then. Last weigh in on tuesday was ok considering I had cheated considerably over Easter weekend. I lost...

    5st to goooo please!

    Hey! You are doing so well to get yourself back on track after easter weekend! I also cheated big styleee on easter weekend and paid for it at weigh in! But the way I look at it is that what I ate that weekend was still 10x less than I would have eaten before I started the diet. So I think even...

    Ugh Easter! What a way to ruin a diet!! I went home for 3 days. I managed to lose all my easter eggs to the little ones...which in hind site is probably a very good thing! On easter sunday we went to the cinema, which I originally thought was a fab idea. Take my mind off food, and not be able...

    Really? You found that doing lots of exercise actually stopped you losing as much weight? Uh oh!! I haven't been going for as long as you. You are doing so well! I can't believe you've stuck to it for so long..well done!! At the minute I'm doing the Charlie Brooks before and after workout...
