Well, I've lost just over 9lb since last wednesday!! I know its only water etc but its weight loss whatever it is. No cycling today as it was heaving it down. Probably a walk after dinner tonight though. No alcohol either for 11 days which is good going for me. You've done well Rod to lose 2st...

Well done mate. Seems less of an uphill battle when you've managed to lose at the weekend. Cycled to work and back today. Only 3 miles but uphill all the way home. Jelly legs when i got in.

Chicken stir fry and rice noodles

Have you tried 'food doctor multiseed pitta bread'? They are lovely. Used to eat them for breakfast when i last my weight. Had one warmed in the toaster with 2 boiled eggs for breakfast today. Taken your advice and climbed on the wagon. Haven't had any alcohol since last friday and drank at...

I had exactly the same thing this week, cut out most of my coffee and my goodness did i have headaches or what.

Quorn chilli con carne and baked sweet potato wedges.

Well done mate. You are so right about the weekends, they are my worst times. Weekdays are so much easier as in the office its so busy I don't have much time to worry about food. Weekends i would spend thinking about my next meal or my next snack. I actually sat down last night and listed what...

I bought a tin of crabmeat this evening so gonna do some spaghetti, mix the crab with spring onion, chilli, lemon juice and a spoon of natural yoghurt. Also got a pot of homemade veg soup on the go. Any ideas what else to use apart from stock cubes for the base of a soup. Just plain water...

Thats so good to lose that much already. I lost over 4 stones last year and that was healthy eating, swimming every day and walking 2 or 3 miles in the evenings and that took me about 6 months. But gave up as ....been trying to think why i gave up actually but cant think of an honest reason...

I used to drink a lot of diet coke too. I started drinking lots of water but i can only drink sparkling water. Still water just tastes disgusting to me. I think its the fizz i'm addicted to.

I eat about 3 bits of fruit a day but i have to watch it because i am type 2 diabetic and there is quite a lot of sugar in apples and bananas. My problem has always been portion control. I cook a load with the intention of freezing it but it never reaches the freezer. Now i portion the raw meat...

I am in Norfolk. I would like to have a buddy to lose weight with.

Well done for losing that much weight, thats alot. Do you have much more to lose? I lost over 4 stone just over a year ago but it has all gone back on now. My new doctor gave me a severe talking to on Tuesday so i am back here again. What sort of low cal snacks do you eat?

This is where i struggle too. I used to eat about 5pm but am slowly putting it later. Then i end up up eating crisps and biscuits later on. I shall eat mine about 6.45 this evening. Tracy, isnt there a problem with going to bed on a full stomach though if you eat that late? Depending on what...

Just checking if it works

Nice to see you here. Let us know what your goal is or how much you need to lose. There is no shame whatsoever here. I talk about things on here i would never say face to face to anyone, though it has helped me to open up in my personal life with friends and family etc. Its good to have a few...

Welcome James. I have just come back after being away for a year or so and have put all my weight back on again. This is a great forum and people really build your confidence. When you are feeling low, come on here and people will help you. Sounds crazy but it really does work. It helped me lose...

Hi all, Some may remember me, I last posted in Jan 2011. Its gone downhill since then. I lost just over 4 stones in just under 6 months. I lost motivation and have since put it all back on and a bit more. Just got back from my doctors and he shocked me. I have had diabetes type 2 for about 3...

I burn off the skin of a yellow pepper on the hob and then chop up the sweet flesh with some finely chopped spring onions, cucumber and peas with some chilli and black pepper. Its lovely and sweet.

myself

Ok, point taken. Didn't mean to upset you Lynn. I just wondered why that was all. x

You do like these fad diet meals etc don't you Lynn? You know at some point you are going to have to eat real normal food don't you. I sorry if that sounds a bit harsh and i probably don't fully understand why people use them. I can't understand why a balanced healthy diet doesn't appeal to...

You are looking really good Lynn. Really slim. You should be really proud, especially after eating a rich meal like that. You're such an inspiration to us mortals!! lol

Please be good.x

This is Slims weight loss and goal record for a few friends. Weigh in day is Thursday. First official weigh in day is 28/10/2010 Slim.......Goal...288lb 291 Healthy...Goal...246lb 246 Aaliyah...Goal...287lb 289 Kas........Goal...282lb 286 I will update this every Thursday. Good luck for...

Oh brilliant Lynn, i'm so happy for you. You've only got 9lb to lose. You really are on the home straight. I hope you're proud of yourself because we certainly are. Have a great day and don't forget to tell everyone you meet.

You know you're not going to be able to sleep tonight! Before i started this journey, i used to have a nap saturday and sunday afternoon. It was lovely. I used to look forward to it. But then i couldn't sleep well at night. I just used to get so tired doing nothing during the day that i thought...

I had the use of an e-reader a while ago and to be honest i actually prefer the feel of a book in my hand. I enjoy my visit to the library every few weeks too.

The thing is i am not on a diet as such, just a nutrition plan. So i am still eating 1900-2000kcals a day but because of the amount of exercise i am losing. Though saying that the last few days have been down to 1500ish. My apple and banana takes me to 39carbs already. I cant see how i can get...

Now i'm confused about low carbs and sugars Lynn. I have been cutting out carbs this last week or so and weightloss hasn't been as good as i want. Maybe my sugars are too low. I don't have any added sugar though just checking my food intake and i am having 119g of sugar to 215g carbs. Which...

Healthy i know my wrists have shrunk cause at the pool the locker key used to be on the 3rd hole on the wrist strap and now its on the 4th hole. Its just everything else that needs to shrink now.(Well, not everything, nudge nudge wink wink)

Well done Lynn. Only a quick visit today. Talk more tomorrow

Congratulations Lynn, thats a massive loss this week. Bet you have a wide smile on your face today don't you.

Having the chips for dinner tomorrow. But i'm having quorn sausages instead and peas and a bit of gravy.

Well done on resisting those crumby buffet lunches. Thought they would have provided you with something a bit posher than that wouldn't you. At least a salad of some sort. Sounds like you did well for food anyway.

Sausage and chips sounds so naughty but they're not if you do them that way. Might try them with garam masala or cumin next time.

Well done Lynn. Finally some good news, lets hope it continues eh? I have cut right down on my carbs since Saturday. Lets see if that makes any difference. I have also chucked my salt cellar away . Healthy said salt slows down weightloss. Roll on Thursday weigh in.

Havent had cocoa since i was a child at my grandparents. That was our supper when we stayed there. 4 cream crackers, a little bit of cheese and a mug of cocoa. Aaaah memories.

I dont have white bread only wholemeal pita bread. I dont have sugar apart from whats naturally in food. I have potatoes nearly every day or rice or pasta. I am going to try a week without pasta, rice or spuds then. What do you have in place of them? You know, something to go with your meat and...

I am actually suprised you can survive on 500 kcals a day. Surely that cant be good for you, even on a diet. Our body still needs food to even survive. I hope that works out for you. I am not sure whether i should be on a low carb diet. I am type 2 diabetic controlled by diet and metformin once...

Dont weigh yourself every day Lynn. The highs and lows are too much to cope with for me. I'd rather leave it for the week and have one emotion to deal with. Hope you have happier results again soon. It gives you a real boost when its good news. Bad news always makes me think 'is it worth it'...

Thats interesting what you say about filming you next to other people. When i lived in Finland, during the summer we used to go out to my friends summer cabin every weekend. We spent hours in the sauna, swimming, bbqing and drinking of course. I felt totally ok. But then i saw a few photos of...

Well done you for being so honest LOL. As everyone said to me on my last STS, at least you haven't put on weight. Oh yeah Lynn, I tried that quark with tuna. OMG. its disgusting!! It leaves a really claggy feeling on the roof of your mouth. I mixed a pot of it with a tin of tuna, some salt and...

I love the Isle of Wight. Used to spend most weekends there during the summer racing from Cowes. Done a few races round the island too. There are some lovely little harbours with little village pubs, beautiful scenery too. Bit bleak and empty in the winter, but sometimes that can be nice too...

Haha. I was actually being serious about my skin though. I did notice the other day that the skin on my arms and legs is much smoother. Whether that is a better diet and more water or some reaction to the chlorine in the swimming pool. Why does it take a woman with pmt an hour to make a cup of...

OMG, you lot are like a load of old women!!LOL Is it women only week in here Lynn? Haha My nails are great too and so is my skin. Actually my skin really is so much smoother now with this better diet and more water. I really can notice it. And my hair, well. I don't know cause i shave my head...

You looking really good Ria. I love that dress you're wearing. It really suits you and shows off your figure. So much better as a brunette too. IMHO anyway. Keep it up X

I love Torquay. Used to go out mackerel fishing on the boats there quite a lot. Its a lovely walk along the front. Pop along to Paignton as well, thats scenic as well. Well, they are the English Riviera after all. LOL

God, only 760 cals!! I think you are doing so well, surviving on that. No wonder the weight is falling off you.

Ah right. See, i dont have a problem with protein. I sometimes have too much. With cheese and salmon or chicken. Quorn stuff is very high in protein too. I shall have a look for quark when i go shopping in the week sometime.

I've heard about but never ventured into buying it. Its just cheese isn't it?

My bmr at the moment is 2620. So my intake is well under that by about 800kcals on average. So loss should be ok at the moment

Personally i think the diets that rely on shakes, etc are not good for you. Because you can't live the rest of your life on those. Its a lifestyle change, healthy eating and exercise. It costs less than your old shopping bill because you're not eating all that bad food. The problem i see is that...

Do you think there will be an "InceptionII"?

Well done Ria for getting back on track. I almost slipped a few weeks back but everyone was great on here and i felt i couldn't let people down You guys on here are definately part of my backbone. If i didn't have you lot i'd be like a jelly. (A hartsons sugar free 0kcal jelly though!!) I do...

Inception was brilliant. I was totally lost for the first hour. My friend said make sure you go to the loo before you go in cause if you need to go out during the movie you will never catch up lol. True too.

No, if you double the amounts it will feed 2 people with the same amount of kcals each. You can multiply the amounts by 8 and then as long as you make 8 portions the kcals will be the same for each person.

I have been making little sheperds pies at the weekend in plastic tupperware tubs. They are about the size of half a dvd box and about 50cms deep. Perfect, 3 or 4 mins in micro. Or mini lasagna, mini spag bol. Actually anything. Or sometimes i make a batch of couscous with roasted peppers...

Went to watch grown ups yesterday, Waste of money. Funny in parts but not what it was built up to be.

It is isn't it. Well done you.

Well done Ria. Its great when it keeps coming off isn't. It actually feels worthwhile. You've lost 77lbs. Thats brilliant. Five and a half stones! Do you realise you have lost the weight of a 9-10 year old child!!!!!

Saw Salt yesterday and i thought it was rubbish. Totally predictable. My view anyway.

I think that is so true. You can't keep going like a steam train losing weight(does a steam train lose weight? You know what i mean) Or else we would just keep dieting and waste away. Some would take longer thsn others to waste away admittedly. (looks at self in mirror) Good going anyway...

Nice one Pink. I like it that you made your own machine from scratch. I used to think i had hyperhydrosis over my whole body. I tried beta blockers, thyroxin and lots of other unspellable things but i think i have reached the conclusion that its just that i'm fat and thats why i sweat. Thats...

You're looking real good Ria. What a transformation eh? I have some pics but never keen on posting on the internet though. But i can see the difference in me anyway. Well done and keep it up. X

Good luck you. I must admit i dont really measure myself. I think it seems to be more important to you ladies. I think most men just go by weight. My next goal is the 3 stone mark. Not too far away. Well done you for keeping up the gym and swimming too. Are you going this weekend?

I have yet to get to that stage where any of my clothes are too big. I look forward to not having to wear baggy clothes.

Great Ria. Sounds good doesn't it. I don't know where my hips start and my waist/belly ends. I have lost 3" around the widest part of my body(my belly) I actually got into my other pair of shorts that i couldn't even do up 4 weeks ago. I wore them to work on Friday. Though by 11am i think i...

I prefer mine with a jacket potato because for the same amount of cals i can have a decent size spud as opposed to half a cup of rice. I love kidney beans in mine but that pushes the cals up a bit. I dont put tinned toms in it either. I dont like my chilli too tomatoey. 100g mince, 1 onion, half...

Have a good day then. I weighed myself this morning usual time and had put on 2 lbs since thursday. Then weighed myself after swimming and lost 2lbs. Aaaargh!

You been to the gym yet? I couldn't do 60 mins on the treadmill. On a peppermill yes, grinding pepper into my concoctions. lol I went for a swim this morning. Strap broke on my goggles, bugger! Is it nice and sunny there? Its lovely here. What you got planned today? Anything interesting?

I hate running so i'd never go on a running machine. Partly cause i think they'd collapse if i was pounding away on it. Now that would be embarrassing! Swimming is fine for me at the moment. Maybe in the future i will feel the need to up the exercise or even have the energy to do more exercise.

Well done. Dont give up on the gym or the swimming. I am off in a few minutes for a swim. Been a lacking a bit on motivation this week. Havent cheated but had a few portions bigger than they should have been.So need to keep an eye on that. Keep it up anyway. x

Did you have a good day Ria? Let us know, i'm sure we're all dying to hear.

Well done for another 2lbs down. Keep it up. Slowly bit surely you are getting there. I am finding that the time is flying by. It doesn't feel like 6 weeks ago i started losing weight. I am finding my diet plan reasonably easy to stick too. Though i do need the exercise to aid the weight loss...

Been swimming yet? I went this morning and the pool was nearly empty. Great, no dodging around the old ladies when overtaking. Had a good sauna. Thats good for losing weight and it gets rid of the impurities in your body too. As does drinking loads of water as you know. Glad you are enjoying the...

Excellent Claire dropping a dress size. I am going to have to buy new shorts soon cause when i do my belt up they ruck up and its uncomfortable sitting at my desk all day. I actually measured myself the other day i have lost 3" on my stomach. I would say my waist but i think my stomach is bigger...

Yeah the ones i got are digital cause i wanna know every fraction of a pound that i lose. Plus a lot of the dial ones never go high enough. Usually they only go up to 130kg. I started out at 160kg. Now you can watch every ounce or gram or whatever you use. I use both kg and lbs. Dont know why...

You could wear one of those frilly swim caps!!LOL I can just see you in one of them.

Thats true about being in the right mood. Sometimes i dont feel like going on the bike but after i have done it i feel great and happy that i made the effort. I feel guilty if i don't do it. Didnt have breakfast this morning so need to have something in a mo to eat. Have a good day.x

Great day thanks. Boiled eggs for B. 2 Pitas with ham and ww yoghurt for L. Fish soup for D. Apple, orange and pack of mini ryvitas for S. 25 lengths at lunchtime swim and 15 mins on bike tonight. So feeling good.

Well done for keeping up with the swimming. I am managing 15 minutes on the bike now, clocking up 5km, so not too bad. Have you got used to your hair colour now?

I'm doing fine thanks. Weigh in day today and i've lost total of 37lbs since July 5th. Well happy.316lbs today. Aiming for 313lbs next thursday.

Hope you enjoy your "date",LOL. He might be pleasantly surprised, you never know. Let us know how it went. x

I can. Especially your face, its much thinner. You look really pretty with your hair up too. Well done.x

Is that the new hair colour? I think that suits you better than blonde. IMHO anyway. When are you back home? Then its back to the gym again!! Come on you can do this. You've only got 19lbs to lose now.

Sorry it didnt work out. I know what you mean about him knowing you wanted him back and chasing him. It gives him the power. I have had girlfriends like that. They play you along just for that feeling it gives them over you. There are plenty of cliches i could mention at this point but i'm not...

Good luck Claire. Hope you get what you want. x

I went shopping in tesco yesterday and was looking at the chocolate bars. Thats all i did though. I was checking all the nutritional info and they were all like 500 cals for a small bar. I thought to myself that i could just have a couple of squares every few days but then did a reality check...

Aaaw Pink. I suppose its only a week then you have 3 good weeks to be happy. Must be quite difficult knowing you're gonna have a bad week every month.

Ah, i usually just boil mine. I shall try your way at the weekend. Thanks. Always open to new recipes to put in my book that Healthy keeps telling me to write, lol. Just done 10 minutes on the bike. 20 secs like mad then 20 secs easy then keep alternating. Got a right sweat on. Legs nearly gave...

Yeah its a lifestyle change isn't it. My nutritionist friend says you should think to yourself when you start something like this,"can i eat like this for the rest of my life". The answer is no to the majority of diets. But i could quite happily eat like this for the rest of my life. I'm very...

Its impossible, especially if you feel like you've had a good day. I cant help it. My weight loss is slowing down a bit now. I have been going for 1 month today and lost 32lbs already. But i have a lot to lose so its going to go really quick to start with. I am on a nutritional plan rather than...

I do a thursday weigh in with my weigh in buddy "Healthy" and i do one on a sunday as well. And sometimes in between but my official day is Thursday. When is yours?

Well done Claire. I'm on xenical as well. I usually take 2 a day. One with lunch and one with dinner. Mind you my dinner tonight of quorn fajita strips a quorn cumberland sausage, jacket pot and peas is only 5g of fat. So barely worth taking it but i have anyway. Glad you have come back here. I...

Was that butternut squash soup? How did you make it? I have tried it but it always seems to come out fairly sweet. Also, not a great fan of thick creamy soups. I prefer the broth style soups that look like dish water.

5 stones is amazing Ria. Can't wait till i get there. My weight loss has started slowing down a bit now. But its still coming off slowly. Weigh in day tomorrow. Gonna do a stint on the bike tonight just in case.

Wow, you're really blasting the exercise today. You not worried you're turning the fat into muscle? Cause thats heavier than fat. Maybe thats why you're struggling to lose? I don't know. Especially if you're doing weights.

Haha, i know you said you liked wotsits but i thought that was a bit excessive.

4 packets of wotsits??? Or 4 wotsits? LOL

Well you are fitter than me. I could probably powerlift the treadmill but i couldn't run on it for 35mins. Or were you walking?

Well done. I went swimming this morning about 7.15am. Quite busy for that time in the morning, but there was no one playing around. Everyone was swimming lengths. Do you feel good after a swim. I always do.

Sounds like you've done loads of exercise this week Ria. Hope you get a nice surprise on wednesday. I just picked my exercise bike up today. Had a quick go on it. The seat is not the comfiest but i'm sure i'll get used to it.

I love wotsits. I haven't had a packet of crisps since beginning of the month. If i bought a multi pack of 12 i could quite happily munch through the lot whilst reading.

:flirt2: Yeah baby yeah. You look really great Ria. You have got a lovely waist. Very nice. Could go on but i won't:)

Well done you. I usually find it quite relaxing, though today my arms were aching a bit. Its a good time for thinking, when you're swimming up and down.

Great, and cheaper too. Shopping bill should go down in theory. Though the healthy food is generally more expensive isn't it.

Thats great Ria. I have noticed that, i cant eat so much either. I made stir fried chicken with veg and some udon noodles and had a bowl, thinking it didn't look much but was quite surprised to find it was ample. Good luck with swimming. I'm going again today.

Woohoo, well done Ria. So the next goal is to lose 6lbs by 6th August right? Thats 9 days left. Or have i worked it out wrongly?

Dust.lol I think its quite hard to have anything thats healthy in a chinese. I suppose anything with chicken or seafood. Chicken chow mein has half the calories of chicken chop suey.

You've got an exercise laden day tomorrow then. Good for you. Hope you go swimming too. Are you weighing in tomorrow for that last 1lb? Good luck. Though with all the exercise i think you'll breeze past it.

There is a fine line between making a goal attainable and unattainable. If we make then too easy then it doesn't have the thrill factor on achieving it. But too hard and the feeling of defeat is big. I think its actually quite hard to set a goal if you sit down and think hard about it. It...

Well done for going swimming. 20 lengths is good. I love going. Been 5 times this week. Have a good week.

Whats the special k diet? Its not special k for every meal surely? I started having special k every night for supper, 50gs. Then decided that at about £2.80 a box i'd try the tescos equivalent. Its identical and £1 cheaper a box. Gotta save money somewhere. Although i am spending more on fruit...

I've done nothing exercise wise today. So had a healthy dinner of grilled cod fillet, jacket pot and a pile of curly kale. Haven't had kale for years and it was sooo good.

I didn't go swimming today cause was tired and my whole body is aching, so i'll see on sunday if that is the same for me. I am guessing i wont lose much if anything over the weekend.

Well done Ria, told you it was just 1 measly pound.LOL

Only 1 measly lb? of course you will. You know you will be exercising like mad the day before your weigh in day. I had back ache this morning but still went for a swim and its loosened it up a bit. You can do it Ria!

Your bmi has dropped massively hasn't it. Mine is slowly coming down. Thing is, i want it all now! But it aint gonna happen. Oh well, slowly slowly catchy monkey.

Well done Ria. Another goal achieved. Whats next then?

That was the swimming that cancelled everything out. Keep swimming. I find the weekends the worst. Especially if i'm not busy. I get bored then i wanna eat. Managed not to eat crappy stuff this weekend.

6lb in a week thats good going. Keep it up, we'll all encourage you here.

Hi Melvis, welcome. Hope you do well on Wednesday, we look forward to you telling us how much you've lost. It's great on here, it seems like i've known a few of these people for years.

So hows the xenical going Aaliya? Any losses so far?

I'd love to get down to 38 waist. I'm hovering around 56 at the mo. When i buy shirts it doesn't matter what size chest they are cause my belly is bigger than my chest virtually.

I'd love to go on a trampoline but i think if i stood on one it would just sag until my feet were on the floor. I if i did manage to get bouncing, again i think i'd need braces for my shorts.(those who read my diary will know what i am talking about)LOL Good for you anyway. I've never been so...

You're welcome. Credit where credit is due, you've lost 65lb which is heap load. Whats your ultimate goal? 12 stones?

Looking hot Ria. Very nice figure. I'd whistle at you in the street:drool: LOL.

Nice to meet you shark bait. So you just started WW?

Thats really nice. You had that done today? There's no redness or swelling. Lucky lol. It looks great.

So wheres the pic? Or is still abit red and sore?

So your july goal is 8lb, have you had a weigh in yet? Do you know what you have lost so far?

And boys! I wanna see it too.

Cheers Phil

Quick question Phil. You've lost 73lb, how is your skin? Has it gone all saggy or has it shrunk back? Sorry for such a personal question mate.

Well done Ria. Personally i hate the gym, its just boring for me. Never have liked it. Prefer swimming. So hats off to you for going. Off to the pool tomorrow again. Couldn't get there today and really missed it.

Thanks for your message Rach. Nice to know people care. Had a great swim today. First time in about 6 years Going again tomorrow.

Yeah but now i can't get that damn song out of my head!!!

Aaliya, watch out for the dreaded "diesel poo" as my doctor called it. LOL. I had a few near misses with it but nothing explosive haha. It does make you scared to eat too much fat which is good. I'm managing to keep my fat intake to between 35 and 50 grams. So take a third off that for the...

Well done phil. I don't know what to say apart from (sung from the jungle book)..."I wanna be like you hoo hoo"!! LOL I lost another lb yesterday, so my weight loss for the last week was 15lb!! Just started swimming today, half hour 30 lengths. Felt sooo good. Going again tomorrow.

Callum i am allowed 2190 according to "myfitnesspal" but have been using under that, sometimes as low as 1700 and not feeling overly hungry. Couple of days i get the munchies in the evening but managed to avoid eating anything. People do help on here cause i feel like i am letting them down as...

Well done for making it on to here. We're all gonna help each other, cause we all need help and support at some time.

Me too. I am dieting but mainly making a lifestyle change. No more sitting at home on my own eating crap food. I try to get out and see friends or just go for a drive or a walk. I can't believe how nice everyone is on here. Its nice to be on a site where there is no spam etc and people are in...

Zpacey and slendablenda you both look fantastic now. I hope my photos will show such improvement. Thanks for your inspiration.

At least you didn't give up, thats the main thing. Didn't lose any weight this morning. Think i'll ignore my nutritionists advice and weigh once a week. Don't like the days when i don't lose anything.

Ooooops that wasn't meant as a comment that people on here are fat. Though thinking about it, i suppose we are, thats why we're all here.

Well done Fitty. I think i have received more encouragement on here in a week than in my whole life for losing weight. I think friends just accept you for who you are and all my friends are slim, so its not a struggle for them and they are a great deal of help. Though they do congratulate me...

You've lost 70lbs thats amazing. Looking at your pics there is a hell of a difference. It must be great to look back and see such a change. I think that is a great motivator too, when you can really see the difference. When you are only losing a few pounds it doesn't notice much does it.

Well done. It was boiling hot at the Cambridge event wasn't it?

I dont think there is any point forcing yourself to eat stuff you dont like, it will just put you off your diet. Making soup is almost the same though i imagine you lose some goodness in the cooking but not a lot i wouldn't have thought.

Make sure you keep my portaloos clean at the race for life. OOOps just looked and you were there on 4th july. How did you get on? Hope you weren't one of the tail enders with the st.johns people. They always hold our lads up trying to clean the loos. Cause we have to wait for everyone to finish...

Doing fine, thanks for asking. Had a good day today, went out for a couple of walks and ate well. Hoping for good results on the scales in the morning. How you doing? You're not far off your goal now.

Cheers thanks. Not doing too bad at the moment but as it begins to slow down that is the time i will need encouragement. Cause i tend to lose heart quickly. I dont want to this time. I must lose weight.

I've just read through all the posts on this thread, its nice to see other men on here too. I have just joined last week and was a bit afraid it would only be ladies but i have spotted a few guys on here now. I started at 353lbs and have already lost 14lbs this week though i suspect most of it...

Right i might pick some next time im shopping. Thanks

I saw them this morning cause they were on offer or maybe it was the quorn ones. Let me know what they taste like cause i was tempted.

Sorry but just had to laugh at Sonkies post. No wonder you don't like veg lol. That suede can be a bit chewy if you don't cook it long enough. Tough as old boots.;-)

I too lost just over 3 stones last year on xenical and gave up after 7 months for some unknown reason. Now have put it all back on again. I started again last Sunday and have lost 1 stone since then. So we can do it again. Well done on trying again.

Well done to you. Over half way, quite a milestone. I am not on any specific diet just calorie controlled and balanced. I started on Sunday last week and have lost 11lbs this week already. I know it will slow down, so i am ready for that. And i haven't done any specific exercise either. But i...

good luck. I just made a chicken and noodle stir fry and absolutely loaded the veg in. Cabbage, peppers, onions, carrot, garlic, brocolli. I put a few too many chilli flakes in though. Got a bit of a sweat on!!

Don't let that 1lb put you back. I bet next week is 2lb off.

Well done. I have found this place great already. Its feels like i've got friends already and also people who understand how i feel and how i struggle. Its good people close to you rarely say well done on losing a couple of pounds, but here everyone cheers on every pound.

Just done one

Cheers, i think i am gonna enjoy it on here.

Thanks Naomi, i'm in bed now with the laptop and the aircon going and a bottle of Tesco sparkling water. I hate tap water or still water but i love it sparkling.Feeling better now that the hunger pangs have gone. Ta.

I have actually spent the last 45 mins planning my meals for tomorrow and am so tired i'm going to sleep, so i avoided the sausages lol. Thanks Lyndzi.

Sat upstairs and boy i'm hungry this evening. I have had my food for the day, i need to go to sleep but i'm so tempted to go downstairs and eat something. Got a craving for sausages, don't know why. I got some quorn sausages in the freezer. Help me talk myself out of it.

I had homemade veg curry and prawns last night and cause i made so much i kept half back without prawns and had 2 salmon fillets with it today. I love my salmon fillets. They do wild alaskan frozen fillets in tesco at the mo for £4.50 for 6. I need 2 for a meal, so its not too...

I've decided i need to start swimming again. I used to be a professional scuba diver so have always been in and around water. I am just so embarrassed now because of my weight. But i can only go at lunchtime cause they don't open early enough for a morning swim as i start at 7.30am...

My friend that has set the diet up for me recommends a daily weigh at the same time every morning after you've done your business etc. Then you can see if you have put on weight and see what you do did wrong the day before or the day before that i think she said. So i have been weighing myself...

I have just joined this site and have a lot of weight to lose but am a bit lax on exercise. I need a kick up the rear. So is there anyone in the Norwich area looking for someone to do a bit of exercise with. Walking or swimming or cycling? When you have a commitment to meet someone for a walk...

Hello there, you sound really determined. I hope that i can be the same. I am determined now on the first day but know that i will flag abit on the way. Thats where you guys come in i hope. I wish there was someone who was living a bit closer to me so we could do some walking together etc. I did...

I get xenical on prescription from my doctor, it is a weight loss aid. It stops your body digesting a third of your daily fat intake. It worked for me before so i have started it again. The only thing is, that if you decide to have a naughty day, you are gonna pay for it. It will be like pooing...

Hi, at least you can look at yourself, i have to stand so far away from the mirror to get myself in it that i can't actually see myself too well. Which is a godsend maybe. I have just joined today as well. I am starting a calorie control diet tomorrow and taking xenical also. I have a good 90lbs...

I managed to lose 44lbs last year in 7 months after being diagnosed with diabetes type II and being prescribed xenical. I must say the side effects were rather unnerving at first if i had eaten too much fat. But i think they partly work because you are so scared of defecating yourself that you...

Hi all. Been looking for a forum today as i feel i need a bit of support on my road to a new life. I was diagnosed with typeII diabetes in Jan 2009. As with anything shocking and new i went hell for leather to lose weight as i was about 350lbs. I actually lost 44 kgs by July that year. Then i...
