flaming heck this is good going week 3 beginning today. I am having trouble hitting the 1200 calories today.But i do have a meeting to attend this week that involves having lunch out so maybe they can be saved for that. Had a brilliant couple of weeks so far. Need to weigh myself in boots on...

Lol,that's what i was thinking. I have just found a chicken flavoured special rice,that's within the rules,that's cooking and i am having two corn sausages with it yummy.hows it going xx

When i first started Xenical last May i was always eating a sea food mix.Lived on them and as they were so low and filling they were ideal for me. However my sisters wedding put paid to that.I had some prawn cocktail and mixed with drink i was so sick.Something i wasn't use to.It has put me off...

Hi, it is very daunting in the first few weeks.Getting your head round this 5 grams per 100 grams thing,but it does get easier.Make sure you have enough time when you first go shopping as you'll need it.It does get easier and soon you'll find its the first thing you do when you pick up something...

I doubt very much i'll lose it.However i find if i set my goals to be realistic i tend to cheat.Example i say i am gonna lose 10lbs in 5 weeks very do able on this however come week 3 and i'll have lost 6 pounds i'll take a week off cause you know the other 4 lbs will magically disappear,i know...

Come on out Lea we don't bite we can't afford too,lolx

Silly posting that and then i went off out,lol. Not had a good night lol. Was meant to be on a Governor's course but when we got there,which was after my friend rushing around and waiting for her other half to come in and me running a fun club and rushing to get home,we was quiet pleased we was...

Ok i know i haven't been here for a few days either,not even just reading and going. What is everyone up to? How is everyone doing? Come on share, we care xx :553:

I have a rough idea that i started Monday the 7th November. I didn't weigh myself as the wii was playing up.Today Wednesday the 16th i weigh according to boots scales 15 stones 4lbs. So not much damage done really. So although i have had 9 days on the diet already i'll use this as my restart...

Thanks lexie. So day 3. My most hectic day of the week.First i have work,then i do shared reading at the school.Then i get home for breakfast about 10:30. Then its chill,well it use to be.I tried to do the wii,first the telly wouldn't go on,then whilst i was moaning about it to the hubby it...

this sounds divine......wonder if you can have one spray of one cal to it?Would that work in the microwave? bet it would in the oven....

Well that's blooming typical... Part 1 of day 2. So today is day2.Bit early on in the day but i have been food shopping and bought loads of items for myself.Yep shock horror i bought somethings for myself. No crisps,no chocolate,no biscuits and no red meat either.Not a single burger,sausage or...

For goodness sake,why oh why is it i can remember my sign in name and pass word here but i cannot stop lapsing into over eating.Same old excuses...kids playing up,life too hectic blah blah blah. had the best one ever to date for me last Monday......i couldn't start my diet on Monday because the...

Such a busy day today ,i have strayed not too badly but naughty enough to feel guilty. In my defence its down to my lack of planning.I have had a good breakfast, naughty snack which became lunch cause i felt guilty and another naughty for tea but i am back on my out and have only been home for a...

This is a good thread :-) . My small bit of daily chat is i laughed so much at aqua aerobics i fair near drowned myself,lol. Off course only hypothetically speaking but coughing so much you go bright red is so uncool,but hey i survived lol...

Hi all, thanks for the positive comments. I was so upset on Monday, i weighed myself and was 14.6 i nearly cried. I use the Wii,it did also say i had lost a pound since my last weigh in,which was mid January. So i kinda consoled myself with that as i had only been doing it three weeks and i...

How did it go? x

My favorite snack has to Marmite breadsticks,so yummy. 110 calories and below 5 gram fat. Also i love having a couple of the caramel snack a jacks, two of the large ones,broken into a bowl . And another a suger free jelly with a mullur light yogart poured over it..

Hi Rach, its going really really well. Have got my meals sorted and i am enjoying them. Can't help but think i feel bloated today which is a tad weird but apart from that. I am not weighing myself till the 4th april which will be the begining of the 5th week. How is yours going? Tina x

This time last year i was considering going to the doctors to ask for help with my weight. I was put off because of an earlier visit when i asked and received more of a laugh rather than anything helpful. So i did , i think it was about beginning of May when i started my diet and it was easy...

Hi Sharon, i am still going strong today is my 10th day and thats nearly over now,lol.

My wedding was laughable . Firstly we only knew each other 3 months, then found out i was pregnant so decided to get married. Six weeks later,rings from a club book and wedding outfit, no dress for me :-( He borrowed a suit from a friend, lol it gets worse..... He went to the reg office in...

Sorry i haven't answered, mymain computer has a virus. These tablets are theonly thing that work for me as well. My frame of mind is on track and so far i have managed 5 days without a blimp. Been doing the meals i know fill me up and are tasty to me,lol. Thank you for the kind comments, still...

Hi Rach, these little blue tablets do work for me,i just need to do the rest and not give up!! I feel so yukky and sluggish so i really need to start again, well i did yesterday so, so far so good.xxx

This won't work for everyone, but i do one of two things when i feel blue.I put some music on loud and sing,not the sad songs though. However if the time isn't right i place the head phones on and listen to some. Another one i do is to type funny into youtube and i nearly always find something...

In fact if i can change my name on here, i'll change it to yoyo,lol. This time i want to lose 3 more stone. I can only do it a bit at a time. Last time i last 4 stone, then i returned before xmas,then after xmas and now again i am bac.I have no idea how much i weigh at the moment. This time...

Thank you ladies. I am being tempted today and its only day two!! the little voice is saying its only gonna be pie and chips,but i don't want it not really. So i treated myself to a WW pizza 500 calories but i have only had 400 calories today so its not gonna take me over. Later when i am...

Oh my what a long drop from the wagon i have taken...I have done some real damage to my brilliant weight lose with an horrendous weight gain,in fact so scared to find ou the total damage :(. I know last time i weighed myself i had put on over a stone, so dreading the total. I haven't really...

yep me as well. Trying hard and keep going of to do something else. Thing is if you cave then you will have to lose what you gain and then the rest. I caved and i am now slowly getting back to what i was before i caved, stupid thing is i feel proud at what i am losing at the moment till i had a...

I do so know where your coming from!! I think for me its because i am doing something for myself. I have 6 children, 4 grandchildren and i am the bottom of the list when it comes to buying things etc, even the the old man (lol so glad he don't read this,lol) and the cats are before me. Well...

Hi Chala, yes i have lost 4 stones to date. I fell of track 2 wks before the summer holidays. Started again 8 wks later but fell again, due to issues with the way my body had changed. It was all for the better but i didn't see myself as finally a size 16, have now come to terms that the real me...

Maybe i am gonna jinx myself but i have never had a reaction,not never. Due to keep going off track (i am back on track now) i know my fat intake has been far more what it should have been. I have had two tablets,breakfast and dinner and then strayed to a large bar whole nut in the evening and...

Thanks Ladies. Yes after Xmas i am going to restart, i need to be a size 12 by July as my daughter is getting married. I wanted to be slimmer for my sisters wedding and i was . I enjoyed myself so much,mainly due to having a bit more self confidence,that i really want to wear a dress for my...

Some days i get so piggish that its all about how much i can have rather than a normal size meal. Does anyone else feel like this? What do you do to satisfy this craving? I do one of two things: i either have a large of water and go and do something. Or i have this; A sainsbury's Be Good...

Mine seems boring lol. Mine is 2 weetabix and a Muller lite yogurt, lol. xxxx

So day three. What happened to day two? Spent most of it Xmas shopping,lol. Celtgirl and Lynn, i have no idea as to why she went weird. She was always the one you could rely on,always put herself out a real best friend,but what she did was unforgivable. Anyway enough of that. Right so day two...

So i am back. I started so well with an amazing weight lost. I lost 4 stones in total and then 2 weeks before the summer holidays i slipped back into 'fat' mode. I have had real problems coping with the fact i am now a size 16 in bottoms and not a size 22. Top half is an 18. It has caused me no...

Well done to every one with a lossx I just canna get into gear i managed to put back on 5lbs but now i can say i have now lost it. However i am ment to wiegh myself on a monday as you can see i have done it earlier, so we'll see. Also does anyone get a mental block, reaching a weight which...

Bunny, i think what might work you is only weighing yourself monthly. Because the total will be higher than a weekly one. It worked for me. I am only just starting to weigh in weekly as i have began to faulter on my journey, mainly because monthly it sounded like i had lost loads. I had but as...

Blurrrrrrr, i put on a pound this week. Although it is tom for me. Never really weighed myself weekly. Not sure how much differance it makes really. But i'll keep going,lol. Done an hour on the wii, really should start to exercise this jelly belly, thats thought ,lol, i'm gonna do some jelly...

That's brilliant hunxx Remember the high your feeling now, in times of weakness, it can't be beat. It seems to be a good week all round for people on minis!!! XXX

Brilliant weigh in,you can't bet the feeling of a good weight lost! Remember how you feel right now when in time of weakness. xxx

Thank you both x I use to drink lots of tea and never imagined giving it up.But when i went to an appointment with the dietitian she explained to me that my 10 cups of tea with two sugars was roughly 600 cals without any food,lol. I had in fact told a half truth it was more like 15 cups if...

OMG!!! You have lost 16 stone, totally amazing. You still want to lose more? Totally awesome and a real inspiration to everyone. That dress must have been waiting for you! xx

Well done hunx. Its a brilliant feeling x.

Thank you for your kind words x. I managed to lose my 5lbs gained and another 2lbs on top to say i am happy is a slight understatement,lol. xx

omfg Sorry but i have been so in denial and not thought i had been good at all. Found it so dam hard. I increased my water as that was something i had stopped doing and it seems to have paid of so well. I HAVE LOST 7LBS THIS WEEK!!!!:D And i remembered to post. I am on such a high,lol...

It seems to have worked out like that for me. I am sure you can lose the 2 stones by xmas. Thats what i would like to lose as well. xx

Hi, thank you. It wasn't till i read your thread i realised that was what i had done. So thank you for making me look at it in this way. Lol what do i eat, maybe not the best time to ask due to my almost 8 week blip.I put on 5 lbs! So silly when i had finally got to 14 stones dead. I knew the...

KB i am so sad now :-( It was a silly question really, thinking in my 'its ok one won't hurt ' mode. lol Dam them grapes were tasty as well,lol xx

After having a terrible blip that seems to have lasted ages,i have reread the threads and tried the myfitnesspal. Where horror of horrors an apple registered at 116 calories, WHAT! lol Eating some grapes now dread to think,lol xx

Kirsti, like you i have been feeling really hungry. I haven't been doing as well as i was, in fact for two months i wasn't doing it proper at all and managed to put on 5lbs. Which i suppose isn't too bad but i'd rather not have put any on! I have join myfittnesspal but not really looked at it...

I want to join as well. Have had a rough summer holidays with the children,nothing nasty but just out of routine. Have had so many parties and family get together. My last one was my sisters wedding on Saturday. So now its back to the routine and i can do my soups etc and start losing again...

Hiya all, only me coming in to share my news. Not sure really how much i weighed. I remember being 14 stone 12 at last weigh in at the doctors but by the wii i was 14.6. well i went on holiday,kinda gave up a few days before i went as well lol. According to the wii when i got back it said...

I am not very good with words but don't concentrate on the lbs you have gained remember what you have lost.You say you was good is there a more noticeable difference in your inch lost? Stay focused and keep on track. Tina xx

Pink N White Wafers. The ones with the mellow filling and ice cream wafers. They are 0.1g per wafer and 50 cals and seem so naughty and yummy. Bought them for the kids 16 for a pound in Icelands Tina xx

I found my ring on Friday, down by the side of my bedside cabinet. So pleased as i gave up looking for it. Not that i wear them anymore :-( Tina xxx

I figured it was because i wasn't eating so much junk food anymore. Well no more junk food,lol. Tina xx

Oh i never knew that at all.... i always weigh myself via the wii fit. The last time i was weighed at the surgery the difference was 5 lbs,however these were different scales to the ones i first started on and she never took two pounds off for the clothes as the dietitian did. (The dietitian has...

I have the wii fit , wii fit plus and EA active. I much prefer the wii fit plus.I hate the EA active with a passion. I have the wii dance mat, never used it mind so i am going to give that a go tomorrow...xxx

Why didn't anyone warn me? You all say about the TANGO poop! For me it was the weight loss affect!! I lost my ring on Monday due to my weight loss,it fell of my finger. It fell of the night before but like the silly person i am, i still wore it to the school allotment the next day (summer...

Well done to both of you xx It can be done ,i find this little blue tablet a real help with staying on track.... xx

i think i have been depriving myself of some yummy snacks here,thank you for starting and adding to xx

Lol, i knew it was stupid when i wrote it, but it seemed so much for so little calories but ....... Onions,water make some rather smelly wind.....lol xx

Just made a basic onion soup. It was so nice i ate the lot now the other half is making me feel guilty!! It can't have been that bad surely? 8oz onions 1 tablespoon of flour 2 pints of stock. salt and pepper grated cheese (didn't add,lol) meant to cook the onions in 1 1/2 oz of butter...

I so cannot be trusted either! The ladies on here were on about Alpen extra lite (i think that's what they were called), so i bought a box, big mistake,so sweet ,so niceeeeeeeeee,lol. Gone in two days. They were so lonely in the box,that was in the dark cold cupboard,i just rescued them lol...

Thank you are all so kind xx Well i didn't quiet manage the staying off, due to a bacon sarnie and yet another party,but this is it till my sisters Hen night on the 28th August! I haven't yet weighed myself, i so dread doing it but i also realise that if i don't i won't really know what i have...

Why on earth did i go off track ? Thought it would be great to not worry about food whilst on holiday. Just have a bit of what i fancy ,it won't hurt. Well it did and i haven't even weighed myself yet. It didn't help that my weigh in was 5lbs different from my Wii !! However in hind site i had...

THANK YOU LADIES XX I can't get on with the ea sports active , i spend to much time laughing at myself and i only hurt from the laughing,lol I tried the boxing on the wii fit plus ,omg i have never shouted at the telly so much.... But its a fun way to exercise, i am going to do the dance one...

I can see it must be hard when your little one goes to bed. Its not like you can go for a walk when he is in bed. For me i go to the allotment it takes me an hour to water the plants so that's an hour wasted, well an hour not picking lol. When i can't go out i do the mad things like clean the...

Yes finally at last i can see i am achieving something. After a weigh in on the wii i have found i now weigh 14 st. 9 oz i can't remember the last time i weighed that. My confidence has sored, my clothes so much easier to find in the shops. wow i have such a big head at the moment..... I keep...

Hi i have weighed myself today,so instead of being the middle of the month i am on track.I am going to be soooooooo good this month xxx Put me down for 14 lbs

I did it all wrong!! I was meant to be doing the June weight lost challenge but i didn't weigh myself at the beginning of the month. So i do not how much weight i have lost for June. I was being weighed on the 19Th of the month,roughly. but the dietitian has left the surgery so that...

Thank you both....i get lots of compliments from these boards so that is keeping me going thank you all xxxx. Its the first time i have achieved a big loss and its certainly the first time i have stuck with it as well. I so love the little blue pill even if its side effects scare me witless. I...

Claire, i am sure once in every while people will have a slip up. You have recognized that this happened to you,so now you just have to step on the wagon again and continue the good that you was doing. Don't punish your self, just consider it a blip,its done now,continue on your way. Today is...

Thank you, you are all so kind :-). Not really following a diet as such, more the 5gram rule. After i had help in working it out. I am so rubbish with figures. I am introducing the WII next week. Now i know they are only roughly a pound out from the surgery scales. Good luck to everyone...

Thanks for the idea Sue. I am gonna try it later. Haven't been on for a while due to not getting my head round this not more than 5gram fat per 100 gram. but each meal to be less than 15 grams. Is it less than 15 grams per the meal but under 5 grams per 100, oh shoot gone and confused meself...

Again a day late but here is what i had yesterday; breakfast the same as above,WW yogurt. Dinner chicken, new potatoes and veg, Yorkshire pud. 5 snack a jacks 1pt ww TORTILIA Nacho cheese

Thank you KB. I have been doing it per item, i hope i havent done too much damaged. No nasty vists to the toliet so hopefully not,lol. Tina xx

I have confused myself (which isn't hard). Is the fat content worked out via the 100 gram of the product? Or is it the amount of fat per weight of product ,(that's how i have been doing it.) And then is it 15 grams per meal or 15 grams a day. :confused: this smiley sums me up, lol

This is a brilliant posting and so true. xxx

I forgot yesterday food dairy; 2 X Weetabix, skimmed milk and the one sugar. 5 ryvita with two lighter laughing cow triangles and tomato. 1 n half jacket spuds and baked beans,half a tin. an apple. Yesterday was okay food wise, almost forgot my little blue tab but was within the hour so...

Hi Karen, 11lbs is a great weight loss, everyone is different and slowly but surely is the best way to go. As Kathryn says its 11lbs less to carry round. I have only really just started,this being my third week. Thing is i have no idea how much i have lost due to one not owning any scales and...

Hello Lucky50. I didn't have a clue about the fat content but i read on the Xenical page about how much i could have and got completely confused. Mainly because i read it so fast i didn't take it in proper,lol. This is my third week and so far i have been good ,very good. Was tempted during last...

Hello to everyone :wavey: I am new to the forum but like most not new to trying to lose weight. In fact my weight has barely gone down in the last 23 yrs only up. Of course there have been times when i have lost the odd stone but i soon give up and go back to old habits. Although i have been...
