Just got back off holiday, so the little bubble of denial of how over weight I am well and truly exploded while I was sat by the pool in a bikini lol. However I have a wedding to go to middle of August which I have bought a dress for which i need to drop a good 1& 1/2 stone possibly 2st ! And we...

I don't know if any one remembers but muller light changed their recipe which made the yoghurt not a free food, due to a lot of complaints they changed their recipe back, I think they realised that they would loose a lot of sales if they didn't so making the complaint is well worth it

Hi guys do you mind if I join you?? Today is my first day so no weight loss to share but my start weight is 13st 3 and half lb Claire x

Excited about starting a fresh in the morning, not so excited about stepping on those scales for the first time though, my target for the first week is just to stick to plan, brake it down meal to meal, which will add up day to day, then before I know it I will of completed the week! I know I...

Food shop Going food shopping tomorrow what are your essentials? What's on your cupboards and fridge

Thank you, I joined a slimming world group years ago and had great results, unfortunately I regained it all when pregnant and although I've done several diets since inc slimming world I have been in denial and only following a diet half hearted, loosing and gaining the same half a stone over and...

So a last minute holiday booking has demolished any illusions of my weight issues, I need to loose 3 stone minimum possibly 3 and a half. I really have sat by the pool and on the beach very much red faced in total embarrassment and as much as I have forced myself to join in with family fun I...

Day 1. A good day,I had 2 shakes, 100 cals worth of milk, and a 800 cal meal. Tweeked it a little because of work but it still works out the same amount of calories. Feeling hungry now, it's around 11pm ish so there's only one thing for it and that's to go to sleep Good night x

I haven't done ultra slim but on slim fast about 18 months a go I lost 2 stone, I kept it off for a good while but circumstances meant I've put half of that back on. I'm starting again tomorrow, been half hartedly trying for a few weeks but if I'm not committed 100% I don't get anywhere fast...

2 lb per week for 21 weeks.... I can do that !! I don't think I'm reaching too high and setting un realistic weight loss per week, but I will have to be very focused, determined, head strong & stubborn... Now that's something I can do with ease lol Roll on tomorrow, let the weight loss begin :)

Family wedding 24th of August got me thinking again of restarting my weight loss. Had a little mooch around the shops on Saturday and I saw the most stunning dress, and thought that's it that's the dress I'm wearing, now this dress must be something special as I haven't worn a dress for around...

20 mins of swimming done tonight , and another good eating day, yea me !! I still hurt my legs really hurt... So must be doing some good right ?? I've got this image/vision of being somewhere near my goal weight by the time the hot weather comes, and I want people to be surprised by my weight...

Got up this morning... God I ache !!!! My legs are a killer :( Also woke up with a head ache, need to drink more water today I think

Ok so not a bad week, In fact better than I thought got on the scales this morning I have lost 3 lb yea!! Which has spurred me on for this week, children are back in school as of today so I went and did a bums and tums class, and tomorrow I will do a half hour swim while they have their swimming...

Sent before I had chance to finish lol, D I was going to ask you what herbal life involved ? Have you started it yet?

Hope herbal life work for you, I've never tried it x So I'm at the end of day 2, another successful day, I've also had a good clear out in my sons bedroom and my room, I even managed to move the beds to Hoover underneath. Feeling focused and positive. I only need one hood week then I'm on a roll...

I'm an expert at loosing weight.... I've done it several times before, I walk the walk and talk the talk but the long and short of it is I either fall off the wagon and never seem to get back on it or I get to my goal weight and then it slowly creeps back on again! So here I am again, needing...

hey thinerbell how are you getting on? are you managing to push yourself in the right direction? my hubby and I have made a decision today to really reduce our T & coffee in take, I drink T he drinks coffee with full fat milk and 3 sugars, yes I did say 3. we are now allowing ourselves 2 cups a...

hi, well done for giving up smoking, I gave up about 3 months ago and know totally how munching can help the fag craving but does NOT help in the battle of loosing weight. it sounds to me like you have got yourself into a bit of a rut, and getting out of that rut will help your wright loss as...

I just wanted to say thank you housecat your post has pulled me back in line, I thought a little while after reading your post that the only thing that stops me from having a good loss every week is myself, when I am in the 'zone' I do very well, and there are others that I know who struggle...

Housecat I talk the talk Hun but as we all know that it is sometimes easier said than done lol. I am stuck on that 2 stone loss and its nothing more than my mind is not quite in the right place at the moment so it seems like a constant battle :( Takeaways are lethal in my opinion the salt and...

Cheers guys, after loosing 2 stone not many people have mentioned it only my hubbie, my mother in law and my mum. May be its winter clothes?? But all the same can be disheartening ! A few little tips that have kept me going .... Don't just go by weight alone, at the start take a photo ( for your...

Always eat your full quota of calories, using less does not work ! Your body is quite happy shedding the pounds if you treat it well, if you start to deprive your body it says hang on a minute I'm not getting what I need here so I'm going to hang on to what I've got !

Welcome back, hope your health issues are better and well done on loosing 2 lb. c

Well done for getting back on track housecat, I've finally got to my target of 2 stone. Only 1 1/2 stone to go. I'm off to Tenerife on Wednesday so I will be expecting another gain, middle of July I'm off to a birthday party and would like to be 7 lb lighter than I am now, so will have to get...

SF is great for me, I used to do sliming world and i felt I was becoming obsessed with food, I was either looking at magazines for inspiration, writing menu plans, shopping for food or writing down what I had eaten. I knew on any given day what I was going to eat for breakfast, dinner tea and...

I bet you are hungry on that, and is probably why you fall off the wagon, as well as 2 shakes you should be having 3 snacks of 100 cals and a 600 cal meal, I use one of my snacks for milk for my cuppa T's :) Don't be too hard on your self though, when u have a baby it is difficult to stay on...

I too used to be against this type of diet, but to be honest if you look at the content of shakes, I bet we are getting a much better nutritional value than all of these fad diets ! What works for one doesn't always work for another, I started last July and in 12 weeks I lost 21 lb. I fell off...

Well guys here I am again, 1 lb off getting to 2 stone. I totally lost motivation after my holiday last September. I gained 6 lb while away but lost it again within 3 weeks. Between October and Christmas we celebrated 4 birthdays, and Christmas I decided to enjoy and start again in the new year...

I'm in 11 lbs in November for me. 11 lb to loose 0 lost

Well ladies how have you all been doing? I've not been on the sf diet for a month or two but I am ready to get back on the wagon, I weighed myself this morning and I've only gained 1 lb so I've still lost 23 lb so far. So it's back to it x

Well I have been off the diet for quite a few weeks but I got on the scales this morning and I've only gained 1 lb. I'm now ready to get going again, I'd like to loose 11 lb by beginning of December which will take me to 11st. I went shopping with my mum and daughter today an bought a pair of...

Where abouts are you toxic girl? We are Welshpool not too far away from mac, it's awful. It turns out this bloke who has been arrested is a neighbour friend/aquaintence. We teach our children stranger danger, but how do we deal with this? We need to know who is in our community so we can have...

A little girl called April has been snatched not to far from where I live, and it just brings home the reality of the world we live in. Apart from the obvious feelings and thoughts for the little girl and her family, then the thoughts and feelings about the person/s who took her I feel awful...

Had a crap week, been off work for 3 days spring cleaning, very chuffed at what I've achieved but was so hungry. It's also TOTM and I've eaten loads of crap, so the result is that I've gained a pound this week, gutted but deserved. Back to it this week, I've got nothing to wear lol. My fat jeans...

Well done. It's a great feeling when you smash through one of those stone barriers, we have the same weight loss I've lost 2 this week, bringing me to a 24 lb total x

Think I've updated it right, x

I've just tried to up date the list but I can't do it for some reason, probably me being thick lol

Think I've updated it right x

Weighed in this morning. Last Friday 11st 13 lb. Today 11st 11lb that's 2 lb gone this week!! Target 8 lb. loss 6lb. 2 lb to go x

I'm going to see her parents today, as the hospital won't give me any information, it's understandable they only give information to family but all I want to know is can I visit her. She messages me saying the nurse says she can have visitors, yet when I ring I don't get the same info, and it's...

Sunday's is my hardest day, lunch at inlaws, with a selection of puddings to die for. Yes I did say selection, she tends to make atleast 2 deserts some times 3 or 4 lol

I don't think the slim fast plan is hard, it's keeping focused & positive that's the key, which is in my opinion the hardest thing, it does help if you have positive people around you to give support. X Well done on your first week, draw a line under your week off and keep at it x

Well my weigh day was yesterday and to my utter surprise I have lost 4 lb, so I am now 11st 13 lb, before I went I was 11st 11 lb so 2lb this week will get me back to my pre holiday weight. I miss calculated last week I had gained 6lb on holiday not 5 lb. I had to race into town this morning as...

It's a bit early in the morning for me, oasis 2 1/2 stone that's about 35 lb right? What's that........ 18 bags of sugar?? Put that in a back pack and carry it round all day!! That's a fantastic loss, ladies keep up the good work you and others will notice soon xxx

I thought I had updated on Friday but it must of been else where lol. I was extatic on Friday morning to get on the scales and find I had lost 4 lb 30lb target. 4lb lost. 26 lb to go.

That's so true, toxic girl but it can feel very disheartening. I went with a friend to slimming world and she needed to loose 9 st, I knew she had lost 2 stone it was noticeable to her as her clothes were feeling loose but not so noticeable to every one else. My hubbie, mum and my inlaws say...

Weigh in this morning. I was12st 3 on my return from holiday and today I am 11st 13 can't believe it!!! (Little dance round bedroom ) that's 4lb loss for me this week Goal 8 lbs. lost 4lb. 4lb to go

I didn't go hun, I went to see her mum and dad and they said she is really manic and would worry for my safety, we are waiting for a diagnosis but I think the conclusion is scitsophrenia, I am going to phone up and hopefully she will be in a better state come Saturday, then I could visit, I've...

Good luck annya, it's my weigh day tomorrow not expecting much of a loss as I've only been on it again since Tuesday, but hey you never know..... Keeping fingers crossed for both of us x

It's great to keep a track of what you have eaten, I love it x

Personally I only do slim fast, but I know others here have tried different ones

I use MFP Hun, an example 2 quorn chicken fillets are 110 cals, 400g of raw potato is 280 cals 50g of broc is 15 cals 80 g of garden peas is 60 cals 100 ml of Bisto gravy granuals 30 cals etc I've got scales permanently set up in the kitchen so it's no bother weighing stuff, and when I do...

I have my shake once I've dropped the children off at school at 9 ish, at 11 ish I have a banana, at 1 ish I have a small apple and a low cal yoghurt 3.30 ish I have a shake and 5.30 ish I have my T. That can be anything like chicken dinner, spag bog, potato chips ( oven baked with light fry)...

It's done now beck, you can't go back only forward, change your mind set hun and it WILL motivate you.... Don't think how much you have gained..... Look at the coat and think " I WILL get into you" and this is how I'm going to do it, when you are tinkering on the edge of fallin off the wagon...

Mcv- target 8lbs - 8 lbs to go

Hi ladies would like to join this challenge would like to loose 8 lb during September, weigh day is Friday for me x

Satine YOU CAN DO THIS!!! How's the 30 day shred going??

Been on plan for 11 weeks, or there abouts, lost 24 lb but just come back off holiday and as expected I've gained, oh well back to it now, would like to loose 2 lb per week Untill Christmas then I will be at my goal weight x

Put your scales in the attic, weigh once fortnightly you can't just hop on them then, but you still have them to keep a log of your losses x

Well I'm back off holiday and raring to go, I have gained I am now back to 12st 3 lb, I had a fantastic time so the gain was expected and was so worth it lol. Ok so my goal now is to loose 2 lb per week till Christmas but to be perfectly honest even 1 lb per week would be acceptable, I would...

Well done hun you are doing so well, there are a few people here who mix the shakes together and really enjoy them, my favourite is the strawberry shake, but I have mixed the vanilla and chocolate together not my most favourite but it's just try it and see! If you are feeling hungry I would try...

Yes I did the same, when I go shopping I buy for every one except myself, as I keep saying NO I'm not buying clothes as I have a wardrobe full of beautiful clothes I can't get into and I want to loose weight so there's no point, for the last few years I have owned 1 pair of jeans that I fit into...

It's says for me to eat 1200 cals too I did it for a week I was bloody starving and I didn't loose as much weight as sticking to the 1360 that slim fast reccomend, go figure.... Do what's comfortable for you hun as you will be more likely to stick to it x

Thank you bambalina x Becky that's so like me, I got to 9st 2 for my wedding, baught all new clothes, had my daughter which was a wonderful excuse to eat, lost it again, had my son and then it all went down hill from there, 3 months ago I was the heaviest I've ever been even while pregnant :(...

I'm back off holiday and ready to start christmas challenge, 31lb by Christmas..... That's 2lb per week.... I CAN DO THIS !!!!!!!

Becky, no sex till he says yes lol. Well I hopped on the scales and I've gained 5 lb, but it was 5lb of pure bliss!!! So I am straight back to it and am feeling highly motivated, I looked at myself in the mirror on holidays and I thought "you know what I don't look too bad" another stone or so...

Well ladies I am home after a fab holiday, I dread to think what I have put on but to be honest I don't care, we had a great holiday, I did keep my meals healthy, fruit for breakfast, salad for lunch, and what I fancied for tea, but being all inclusive the vodka was flowing freely! What ever the...

My original target was to loose 2 stone for my holiday, I am 4 lb off that, but I am so happy that I've lost 24lb in 11 weeks. I am going away on holiday for the first time in 4 years, I am not going to think about the scales while away, I will deal with it on my return setting new goals to...

Whoop whoop 11st 11 lb this morning !!! Resisted the Chinese last night, so glad I did !!

Thank you, x

Hubbie has invited friends round for a Chinese takeaway but nothing is really low cal, I don't really fancy one , have no idea what to have:(

Got on the scales today and finally I have got past that 12 st barrier, I am now 11st 13 lb I know it isn't by much and I will more than likely be back in the 12 when I return off holiday but I am so chuffed that I managed it before I go!! Well I'm off tomorrow night/ early hours of Monday...

Lol I like my mother inlaws scales as they are a good 5 lb lighter than mine, but as long as you weigh on the same scales it will give you an accurate loss. When you get to some where near your target it is better to go by measurements and feeling comfortable in your clothes. I used to get upset...

I will think about you when I'm by the pool, sipping cocktails in the sun lol

No I don't bother with those, my 3 100 cal snacs are generally milk for tea and coffee and fruit x

Hi tony, I hope I'm not going to sound rude here, but yr profile pic is so small I can't see it, and Tony is male or female name. I wondered if u realised for famales it's a 600 cal evening meal and for males it's a 800 cal meal. But if you wanted to check the slim fast web site have advisors to...

I think when you know a plan so well you get lazy, I suppose you have 2 options with your tummy, carry on and see if it's TOTM or stop and see if your tummy settles, if it is TOTM don't be disheartened if you don't have a big loss, persivere and you will see it in your second week x

Yes my first week I lost 8 lb, I am convinced I get a much better weight loss if I don't eat bread, one of the reasons I like SF because cutting out bread is so easy x

My store doesn't have them :(

I have half stone targets, with a little treat to celebrate, ie.. Nails done, hair done, nice smellies for the bath just for me, but when I get closer to target I will be getting some nice matching underware, and I would like family photo, I've got plenty of clothes in wardrobe and I'm slowly...

When u say yr body seems to like the weight you are now, were you seriously sticking to the WW plan? The only reason I ask is because I was the same on slimming world but when I truly looked at it I was doing it half heartedly, the odd biscuit, more milk, crusts off children's butties etc I...

I have one at 9 ish, snacks through out day, shake at 3 pm cooked tea at 6 ish Some times I have lunch and snacks in evening

Haven't been here for about a fortnight, I am just run off my feet at the moment with children off school and working, last Saturday I took my basic training for my motorbike and tomorrow I have my theory test. I haven't been sticking to plan really as I have been busy but still watching what I...

Yes Hun it is, I've lost 20 lb so far, STS for last 2 weeks however I haven't stayed to plan last week and week before we had several meal celebrations out so staying the same has been great x Back to it this week, go away in a fortnight so I will be a 100% till then hoping to loose another 4 lb x

Bread lover and peanuts I wish you every success in your weight loss journey. I weighed in on Friday and didn't loose anything again this week, but in all honesty I haven't been following the plan 100%. I've got 2 weeks now till we go away and a final push should give me an extra 4 lb. I've...

I weighed in on Friday and stayed the same, but we have had several meals out to celebrate father inlaws 65th birthday so I'm happy I haven't gained. Really want to loose 7 lb over the next 3 weeks x

That's exactly me, I've been on SF now for about 7 weeks and still feel the same x

My 2 don't actually like me doing their rooms as I get rid of loads of crap rather than finding homes for it all if they want to keep their stuff they get it tidied lol

My son is 6 and my daughter is 8 going on 18 lol

Very step of the way I've given my self treats, my first half stone was an eyelash tint, my second half stone was to have my nails done. I am half way through my weight loss journey and my hubbie surprised me today by buying me a motor bike and booking my CBT ( basic training which will allow me...

Good luck to both of you, half the battle is to have your mind in the right place to start. The first week is the hardest but pure determination see's you through, the following weeks get easier because your body is used to less food. I love the strictness of slim fast and having to only think...

My hubbie treated me today, a half way there pressie....... A motor bike and I'm booked in for my CBT a week on Saturday !

I love slim fast, I like the controll, and only having to think about 1 meal. I've lost 20 lb in about 6 /7 weeks.

My 2 are in and out all day, but neither of them are allowed out tomorrow untill they tidy their bedrooms lol

If u have room to do jumping jacks and push ups that's all u need c

Well done, just take it one day at a time x

Anytime Hun, it's hard enough as it is especially when there is little understanding around you x

Whoop whoop in to another pair of jeans out of my wardrobe : dance round bedroom: yea

Well done on yr loss, we will never have a clear run at dieting as we all have life events, life would be rather dull without them tho, it's how we deal with it that counts, do we be good through out or do we let our hair down and enjoy? Personally I do the latter and get straight back to it...

The problem is one does not fit all, and sometimes it takes a bit of tweaking before you find something that is right for you. It's hard when you want instant results which we all do, but you have to remember also that your body will take time to adjust, so you shouldnt make a decision if...

Personally I find bread bloats me and slows my weight loss even if I am within my cals, just a thought x

There are loads of ways to increase yr cals and still keeping it healthy, what about making your snax 200 cals each? Nuts and seeds are good for u but are higher in cals, full fat cheese, full fat milk, full fat yoghurts etc x Will have a think x

When I have my meal depends really on what I am doing and where I am, I prefere mine in the evening, and I also use one of my snacks as milk for my cuppa T's. One important thing is to drink plenty of water, this always aids my weight loss x

Tonight it's going to be pork chop, home grown potato, carrot, colli, cabbage and gravy

7 lb for me please, although I am doing 30 day shred not sure wot my weight loss will be like x

Mind set is everything u gotta be in the right ace mentally to succeed, in my first week I lost 8lb and have lost steadily ever since.

I have completed day 2 of 30 day shred and I am so stiff it's untrue, I think I may have to do every other day to start, I can hardly walk up and down the stairs lol

If u stick to the plan u will loose, having to only think about 1 meal is great, there's plenty of support here good luck x

Yes I think so too, originally I thought I'd just do it for a couple of weeks to give me a boost, then return to cal counting or slimming world, but here I am 8 weeks later lol. I love it x I've got a bee in my bonnet now about getting fit, and quite want to get into my exercise more x

I am loosening up now I've been up for a while x

Omg are u supposed to ache this much the day after?

I lost 8 lb in my first week and have lost 20 lb so far, some times I loose 1lb and sometimes up to 3 or 4lb in a week. But as long as its coming off I don't mind how much it is really, I find it really easy to do to x

I had bacon chop, mushrooms, grilled tomato. Jacket potato topped with cheese. Near 800 cals, but I haven't had any snaxs

How long do u stay on each level? Is it 10 days of each?

OMG that was hard, just completed day one and my legs are like jelly and I think I may actually die lol x But hey 1 down 29 to go which is good as my holiday is in 33 days yea

Personally I think that if your meal and snacks are low sugar then it shud even out? It will probably be a case of seeing what suits you best, good luck x

Unfortunately I've had a week of high cals, not feeling well and also celebrating my father inlaws 65th birthday, my mother inlaws homeade cheese cake is to die for and I'm afraid I went in for seconds too, I felt soooo ill when I got home yesterday, wasn't sure if it was from my cold or sugar...

Ok, I am going to find a tape measure, I am starting 30 day shred tonight !

Well done, my top tummy or muffin top, has definitely shrunk, and because I sit all day and jot notes on a clip board on my knee I can actually now see what I'm writing lol, I think we do suffer a bit with denail, and an obscured vision when we look at ourselves, firstly we don't see it creeping...

I'm going to say I've reached my goal and change it back to 5lb. I am poorly at the moment so the plan has gone out of the window but I am managing to stay the same so far lol

I'd like to loose 30 lb by Christmas x

I've come to the conclusion that weight will always be an issue in my life, weather loosing it or maintaining it, it will always be there! I was a chubby child, and that was because of my mum, she had the origional step mum from hell, honestly some of her stories would make your heart weep, but...

I expect the bruising is starting to come out now and that's why it seems to be getting worse, don't exercise Untill the pain has stopped, you could hinder your recovery and be out of action for longer:( It's really positive that you are still focused and determined, that's great, good luck for...

Well done hun,, an amazing loss, and great determination even when things are tough, keep up the good work x

I haven't had any shakes today, I had chicken salad sandwich from shop, and cheese and crackers when I got in from work and it's straight to bed for me, I hope I feel better tomoz as I desperately want to get back on track and start my 30 day shred!

Suffering with god awful cold, wanted to start my 30 day shred but I'm that achey I think I will leave it a few days, god only knows what the scales will say Friday I'm all over the place!

Get to the doctor and then sue them. I'm not a fan of the ever increasing popularity of suing but that is complete negligence, in my view it would of been different if a member of staff came to your aid and profusely apologised ! My mum who is in her 70's fell, tripped on a bricked pavement...

I hope so annya, but I wud be happy to Sts or loose 1lb as I can't expect to have big losses every week x

I am in my 7th week now and have lost 20 lb x I've had 1 day off, but the rest have all been within my calorie allowance, some weeks exercise, some not depending on time x

I haven't started as yet, we have visitors for weekend which means I wouldn't be able to do it for 3 days, so I am starting Monday. Well done every one you are doing great x

Welcome and good luck, one important ingredient to help with your weight loss is the support you will get here, good days and not so good there will always be a friendly member here to encourage, support and to celebrate your losses x

I use powder, but I mix it with soya milk mix with a hand stick blender then add a couple of ice cubes. My favourite is strawberry x

If I hop on scales mid week I do log it in MFP if I have lost but my official weigh day is Friday. I've reached this months goal as I have lost 4 lb this week Goal was 5 lb last week lost 1 lb this week 4 lb Can I change my goal? As I would like to loose another 2 lb by end of month x

Oops sent before I had finished Last Fridays weight 12st 5 lb Today's weight 12 st 1 lb Loss 4 lb Little dance round bedroom 20lb lost so far !

Weigh day today, couldn't quite believe it, so I moved the scales round the bathroom and hopped on atleast 4 times, always with the same result, !

This is quite a dilemma and one I wouldn't enjoy facing myself, simply because once I am in the zone, determind and focused I just want to get on with it and see the results. However at some point we will need a maintanence plan, and I like the strictness of slim fast so I think my plan would be...

I haven't been on scales at all this week, a bit scared to I think lol. I haven't been overly bad, but we had Indian take away Friday night, and then my day off at the christening on Sunday, I haven't exercised this week at all ( just hectic at moment) and I just didn't feel that I had done very...

I struggle then too, the week before all I want to do is eat crap and the first few days I can't eat a thing as I just gag. But when u do get through it, especially with a loss it's a very proud moment, it's such an achievement! Persevere your doing soooo well !

Please please don't give up you are doing amazing Hun, I also feel very disappointed when I have gained when being 100% or sts, but this is a life change and for the better, just think what you have put your body through the last few weeks major shock or what?! Your body holds on to fluids etc...

Spaghetti bolognaise for me vegetarian style, saves me cooking two meals as hubbie is vegi,I froze it last time I made it, so virtually no cooking, yea!! 400 cals x

Doesn't sound boring at all, infact sounds rather delicious, did u make the corned beef crisp bakes?

In my first week I lost 8 lbs but I had 3 1/2 st to loose, so far I have lost 16 lbs in about 6 weeks I think, good luck on yr weight loss journey, let us know how you are getting on x

Annya told me I can get 30 day shred on you tube so I don't have to wait for DVD to arrive I can get started straight away, DVD will be better as it will be on bigger screen but I am going to start straight away, once I have measured! I hope I get as good results as people have reported x

Toxicgirl, so proud of u, don't worry how long you can do at this moment, keep a record because you will be surprised at how this will build up minute by minute, I started running a few months ago, ( had to give up cos of hips) but first time out I could hardly run 30 seconds and felt like I was...

Well the bonus is I can start straight away, I'm sure it will look better on a much bigger screen when the DVD arrives, Untill then I shall run it on iPad, thinking about the bikinis I will be wearing will ensure I complete the 20 mins for 30 days!! Not being able to hack it is not an option lol x

Thanks annya, wish I realised that sooner, mind you I got it off amazon for £4.95 with free postage a bargain I thought, will get straight on it tomorrow, can't wait to see some results x

Had day off today, went to a christening, didn't drink but there was a lovely buffet, and we rushed out without me having a shake so I was starving. I have no idea how many calories I ate but I am still full and I won't be eating anything else today. Back to it tomorrow, I have also booked the...

Just ordered it off amazon hope it arrives soon x

Well done Hun, that's great, x

Have no idea what this is, do you buy it over counter or is it prescribed by doctor? Let us know how you get on x

Ordering 30 day shred tomorrow x

I've never been into burgers, home made yes, but not takeaway or bought from shop. I've always had vegi burgers, but trying to stay off bread, but I love vegi cheese burgers yumm

Lilly sounds lovely, Toby is a kelpie, an Australian cattle dog, you know how our border collie sheep dogs are nuts well Toby is worse, I rescued him from a farm but that's another story but let's just say he has well and truly landed on his feet!

Walking is an excellent form of exercise, especially if it's brisk !! Annya, how does your dog enjoy the running? Do u have him on a lead? My dog walks off lead but I only generally walk him to near by field on a quiet road, he is very much a looney tunes dog and I only took him running once, he...

My mother inlaw suffered terrible with back and knees after loosing 2 stone she started swimming for half hour 4 times a week, she says she now feels amazing and has halved her intake of pain killers. It's made such a difference to her every day life x

Can I join plz wud like to loose 5 lb by end of July. Weigh day today loss 1lb.... 4lb to go x

Lost 1 lb can't help feeling a little disappointed as I really wanted 2 but at least it is off and not on ! Start weight 13st 7 today's weight 12st 5 x

Weigh day tomorrow, fingers crossed x

Some times I wish I put my brain into gear before my gob.... There was an incident last night down at the park. My daughter was playing with her 2 best friends and one of the girls sister was being mean and spying on them. The girls were quite happily playing, and they at some point were...

I had a cancelation so had chance to call home so today has been fine x

A long day for me today don't know if I will b able to stick to plan, will have a shake before I go and take some fruit with me but I'm not finishing till 8 pm if I get a chance I will nip home for second shake but may have to buy something from shop for tea, not the best but am determind to...

A truly amazing loss, let it spur you on. It will be a mixture of things, mostly fluid in your first week, and if you have cut out bread, reduced tea and coffee and increased your water intake it will all play a part. If you expect to stay the same, or loose about 1 lb for a few weeks then if...

It's finding something to replace the comfort eating that will really help, I've got a couple of things in place, surfing the net ( look at me being all technical lol) I've also got a colouring book and set of felt tips, crazy I know but hey it works ;) hubbie thinks I am a bit of a nutter, and...

That is fantastic!!!! Well done you are amazing, it's not easy loosing weight and you are doing it, just shows what we can do when we put our minds to it! Keep up the good work, only 2 lb off 2 stone : big hug :

Not a bad day today, loads of water, healthy snacks, and delicious tea, on track. Come on scales b nice to me this week x

It is difficult to stay motivated, and it can be hard to get back. But you CAN do it !!! Make a list of what you will do and how you will feel when you get to target, how you feel when you are over weight etc. Give your self some treats to look forward to, my first stone treat was to have my...

Don't get disheartened, easier said than done i know, it does take a little while for some for the body to adjust, are you eating all your calorie allowance? Are you drinking enough water? If you are doing all these things then you will more than likely to have a good loss next wk xx

It's strange isn't it, we had lunch at inlaws today and I had my usual size dinner, mother inlaw was very surprised I didn't manage to clear my plate as usuall but I just can't eat massive portions any more, and I used to go for seconds too and pudding !

One of my favorite meals when we go to chippie ( eat in) is sausage egg chips and mushy peas, if I do it at home I cut potatoes, spray with fry light cook on a mesh tray, I use low cal sausages grilled and fry an egg in fry light and either a can of mushy peas or soak split peas over night, for...

12 years ago today, I married my lovely hubbie, we have had great times and not so great times but we have always been true and by each others side. We have never said it with cards and flowers that's not our style, but he got up early this morning brought me a cuppa T in bed and washed my car...

Tonight is Indian takeaway, chicken rogan josh and mushroom rice yum yum x

Tonight's tea is Indian takeaway, chicken rogan josh & mushroom rice, I've only had 2 shakes today and I've done 10 mins on bike, 15 mins on cross trainer, 20 mins on treadmill and weights followed by 40 lengths in the pool so still under cals x

Dont worry about the gain, go and have a wonderful time, and you can get back to it on your return x

Oops sent before I had finished lol ! I've got to make more of an effort on the exercise front, I bought 2 bikinis yesterday, well I couldn't leave them in the shop for the price they were, 99 p for tops and 99 p for bottoms... I just love a bargain!! I got a Barbie pink one, and a black one...

My plan for today is to take the children to my mum & dads, parents and inlaws have them every other saturday, then I am off to the gym, followed by a swim and jacuzzi

Wow that's excellent 1lb off you first stone, well done ( big hug)

I think us women are stronger than we give our selves credit for! How many of us keep our families going? I work as does my hubbie, granted a few hours a day more than me but when he gets home that's his day done, we do washing, ironing, cooking, shopping, taking care of the children taking care...

The scales revealed I am now 12st 6lbs so that's a total of 3lb this week. Total loss 15 lb. My goal this week is 2 lb. to swim a minimum of 2 times and to make my snacks healthier. Some times it's hard to get in the exercise, but it's important to make the effort, the children break up soon...

Well done that's a great loss on yr first week, getting started is the hardest bit but once you have completed yr first week and start seeing results it really spurs you on, keep up the good work Claire x

Well done, these are great achievements walking up the stairs easier is fantastic ! I also think the body gets squiggier, I know my tummy has, I suppose it's lost it's stuffing now lol. Eating definitely becomes a habit, I started going to the shop every evening usually for milk or bread, and...

Well in the morning is my official weigh day last Friday I was 12st 9 lbs and sneaky peeks through the week I found I have lost up to 3 lbs so keeping my fingers crossed, I will be extatic to loose 3 lb here's hoping I still see 12st 6lbs x.

Aw thank you Hun, that's such a lovely thing to say and really made my day, I just get up in the morning and say to myself, right let's make sure I have a good 100% day today, not every day is the healthiest but I do stay within my calorie alowence, I won't be at my goal weight when I go but...

Hey sue where are you going in Greece? I'm off to Corfu end of aug, would really really like to loose another stone by then x

22lbs is a fantastic loss Hun that's 11 bags of sugar, put that in a carrier bag and see how it feels, look at how well you are doing, ok you ate some cake, but draw a line under it and get yourself back on track! I look in the mirror and I don't see a difference, but there must be a difference...

I like a cuppa soup and a couple of plumbs, a banana, I use 100 cals worth of milk for cups of tea, I also try to think about using slimming word super speed foods in my snax and meal x

It is surprising how many cals are in certain foods, which all add up so I too add everything, one of the reasons I like slim fast is because I only have to think about one meal, I also like if you keep snax and meal healthy that it's nutritionally balanced

I try and stick to the 1360 cals, depending on what exercise I do I may have more, I'm on mfp clairevaughan x

How are you getting on Hun?? Forgot to mention there's one vital ingredient to help u succeed and that's great people here on this forum, if you want to share your successes, or if u are having a bad day or just general chit chat this is a great place to come x

Well done, you should be proud of yourself, stay positive and you will get there!! Let these moments spur you on, and the pounds will soon start adding up, giving you a great weight loss x

I can't eat breakfast so I have a banana, then around 10 I have a shake, I take fruit to work valuing 100 cals, a shake when I get home about 3 ish, then my 600 cal meal at night and I drink plenty of water through out the day, I have 100 cals worth of milk for my cups of T too, hope this helps x

To be honest annya I only grow cucumber and tomatoes, strawberys mixed salad leaves, I've got a herb garden with bay leaf, fennel, chives, sage, thyme, rosemary, coriander and mint. My dad is the keen allotmentist and grows all sorts. If I had the time and the room I would. But yes he has some...

Ive bn on it about 4 weeks and lost 15 lbs x

A quick reply as on my way out, 2 shakes, 3 snax of 100 calories each and a meal of 600 cals,

I do the same as oasis x

I've just looked in the cupboard and I've got very little in, I've got a jar of home pride herb and garlic potatoe bake, I will get some gammon and with it we will have home grown cauliflower & cabbage, peas and carrots. Will add calories later x

For those of you who feel less bloated, as I do to I would be interested to know if you have stopped eating bread ? As I am positive bread bloats me something terrible. Well done ladies on all your losses x

Well done on taking that first step, remember though how long it has taken you to gain the weight it's not going to disappear over night and let's face it we all do that! Take your weight from one set of scales don't get disheartened for example if the doctors scales say one thing and your...

Right I get what you mean now, ok personally if I were going out which is a rare occasion for me I would eat my full quota of snax and shakes and meal, seeing as its a rare occasion id just go out and enjoy myself because hey we can't be good 100% of the time and we need enjoyment in life too...

I'm not a drinker really only if I go out, but it would b like drinking on an empty stomach if you were to drink before yr evening meal, personally I wouldn't cut out the cals, but it's your choice at the end of the day x

If I make chips at home I use fry light and put them in oven they are lovely, one of my favorite meals is sausage egg and chips with plenty of salt and vinegar... I know salt isn't good but it's the only meal I add salt too, I steam potatoes and veg etc so don't add to cooking either x The chips...

What do you mean Hun? Do u mean cutting out those calories altogether or adding the cals to your evening meal? If u cut them out your calorie intake will be to low and your body will go into starvation mode, so it's not advisable, there is plenty of info on the net to explain about starvation...

If your always looking back you can't focus on where you are going! When I started slim fast I was pretty disgusted with myself, I thought about when I got married I was a size 10-12 but I was on 16 points a day doing weight watchers, ( I would save 2 points per day for weekends) there was no...

Didn't manage to get to the gym but I had a sneaky peek on scales and I am now 12st 6lbs yea, another pound down, 15 lbs altogether

Well done Hun, when I did my first run I could bearly run for 30 seconds at a time, after about 4 weeks I was running for 5 mins at a time and it was an amazing feeling. I am gutted I had to give it up.

Good luck Hun on your first weigh in, remember to drink plenty of water, I find it helpfully to remember how much I have lost rather than how much I need to loose, let each and every pound spur you on and encourage you to carry one day at a time. I'm on mfp if you want to add me clairevaughan x

I had chippy chips oops but still within calorie allowance yea

I know annya the weather is depressing here too! At least with the individual pre made shakes you can try them before you commit to buying a whole tin, but I also find that lots of places seem limited to what they sell. Our local boots only sell chocolate and vanilla, and morrisons only have...

Same here Hun, I wonder if we will have a good loss next week ? I've been 100 % resisted the urge to eat crap and I've drunk loads of water x

That's brilliant as boots has stopped their offer now x

That's a shame, but I must admit I love the strawberry shake I make it with soya milk, whizz it up with hand held blender and add a couple of ice cubes. I've got a tin of chocolate but I only use that if I have run out as although ok I prefere the strawberry.

Managed to eat better today, 2 shakes, an apple, banana and Jaffa cake bar for snacks, and fish in butter sauce, mash, carrots, broccoli and cauli for tea, milk for a couple of cups of tea. Took children swimming this morning although I didn't get chance to do any lengths but they enjoyed...

I had mash, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots and fish steak in butter sauce, think it came in under 500 cals

Yes good luck to yr weight loss too, all that digging in the garden must have made a difference! You may find it difficult to loose weight but for many that would be a good reason not to do it, and for others to give up, but you are doing so well, and like we have said before, the scales are...

I've had an enormous boost this morning, even though it is my TOTM and my official weigh day isn't untill Friday, I had a peek on the scales and I am 2 lb down, so I have lost my first stone !! I am now encouraged that it is possible to loose another stone in 7 weeks which will take me to my...

That sounds nice X

Omg Fresh Greek taziki I loved that when we went, it's not quite the same from morrisons, probably tastes even better in the Greek sunshine! Just think it could of been much worse if you hadn't of got all that exercise, a good lean week will do the trick and the few holiday pounds will have...

Got up this morning, tummy hurts, feel sick, hungry but just can't face anything, might just go back to bed and feel sorry for myself!

That's really good, some times I wish I could walk to work but being a driving instructor it's pretty darn impossible lol ;0 But I am awful I drive to the shop but really it's just under a 10 minute walk there and back, I should make more of an effort really x

Well I've been to the gym, and I did about 40 lengths and had my jacuzzi, I'm home now, I'm going to jump into bed snuggle up with the dog and watch a film, hubbie will be home about midnight x

My dinner came in at 820 something but I only had 1 snack today and I've been to the gym and swimming! I had one of my favourites new potato cauliflower cheese, a fried egg ham and green beans, yum I feel so stuffed now though!!

From what you are saying annya it really sounds like its more the dodgie tummy and the bread etc, once your system settles down that will quickly come off again! It's not worth stressing over, we need the enjoyment out of life too don't we otherwise what have we got to look forward to?! I really...

Got my day planned, got to get home from work to pick up children from school, pack them off to grandmas, hubbie is helping a mate after work so I am off to the gym, have a swim and jacuzzi I'd like to book in for a beauty treatment but lack of funds mean I will have to skip that lol. Home Pjs...

Is it far? Could you incorporate it into yr weight loss ?? Could you walk to and from work say twice a week?

Sounds like you had a fab time annya, I wouldnt worry what the scales say, you haven't been away for so long it was more important that you totally enjoyed yourself. Just start afresh ! I love Rhodes we went there several years ago x

Yes I do that too, especially with soups, stews, spag bog

Couldn't resist got on scales and lost 1lb so I am now 12st 9lb and that's 12lb in about 4 weeks. In 7 weeks time I want to be 11st 7lbs .... COME ON CLAIRE....... YOU CAN DO THIS!!

Large prawn salad allowed 400 cals for it as I had it at the health club x

Lol well done!

Sounds good to me, thought I'd go for a swim and jacuzzi first too x

On yes.... A night to myself tomorrow night no children, no hubbie........ What shall I do?

Just saw a pic on face book it was a drawing of a lady sitting on a bed with her head in her hands the caption " I've been dieting ALL morning... Am I skinny yet" hilarious :)))

Well either stay strong or treat yr self to just the 1... Mind u my wine glasses take 1/2 a bottle of wine lol

It's only one meal/ day hun, just get back on track ASAP x

Still feeling heavy and nauseous but I am persevering, I was wondering weather to skip weighing in tomorrow as if I don't loose it will demotivated me:( I think I might leave it now till next fri instead, I hate the feeling that TOTM gives me yuck! On a positive note I've put a pair of jeans on...

I would say with exercise calories it depends on how low it would take your over all calorie intake to. Generally I swim twice a week and I like to eat probably just under 1/2 of the cals back. And I tend to eat fruit as those cals. I've done ww and sw and wondered if I could stick to sf as I do...

Quorn sausage x2 140cal Broc 30 Carrot 42 Sweet corn 66 200g potatoes Tbs clover 68 Gravy bistro granules 30 Total 526 cals

Who cares what other people think Hun, these are generally people who have nothing better to do with their sad little lives! I say good on ya girl you go for it, I started running a few months ago but unfortunately had to stop due to hip pain, which I've never had before and never had since, but...

I Do fall into the trap of cooking the same old thing, so thought it might inspire some of us if we posted what is for tea and the calorie content.... If its an idea others are interested in may be we could include snacks too?!

We are off to Corfu, we sold our caravan to fund the holiday, I love caravaning holidays but you can't beat the guaranteed weather, and being able to just relax when abroad x

Of course being in the best condition you can be has to have a positive effect on your body, one of the reasons I like slim fast is the nutrients and vitamins it provides especially combined with healthy snax and meals. Carrying extra pounds has got to put a strain on any part of the body!! I...

I'm so sorry to hear about your health problems Hun it must be very hard for you. Have you explored all treatments available to you through the NHS ? With a good doctor? I don't really know what's available or what would suit hour needs but some sort of physio in water may be ? might be worth...
