Been on a diet forever, recently have stopped binge eating over the past 8 months or so, not quite sure why but im glad its stopped, had some pretty HUGE life changes, left my old partner of ten years and father of my two beautiful girls and now have an amazing boyfriend of 7 months. Have been...

Hi all, thought I'd pop in and say hi, just started this week and fasted Monday (300cals) and fasting today, I'm so bored and not having our tea until 9.30pm ish so needed a bit of a distraction. Already nibbled half a pack of hula hoops (binned the rest!) and some pickled onions. Just out of...

Hi hun, hope you dont mind me jumping in as im not doing juddd at the moment however have done it before and love the diet, will be going back to it shortly, dont be too down hearted hun, i know you're still 'dieting' but you've gone from have no food, to plenty of it on the up days, you're body...

Day 11 Been naughty so far, not had a single thing, its 4pm now, i've only been up for an hour and i just dont fancy anything at all, night shifts really knock me out of my routine! I'l be going to bed at a normal time too so i'm going to be honest and say i really dont think im going to fit in...

lol thanks babe you're so right! they didnt get one in the end however it still didnt stop me thinking of all the things i was going to eat, i avoided, got home, went to sleep, just got up at 3pm and i have no appetite whatsoever! glad i didnt do it. i was watching the other girl who i was...

how are you making you're shakes up? iv always ever used a food mixer on powder shakes, however iv got a hand protein container, thats got a kind of sieve in the top so i just pour it all in together and give it a really good shake, and i dont really get too many lumps, it might be worth trying...

I'm not doing bad Hun had a few hours today here I really don't wanna play :( sounds like it must just be one of those days across the board! Well done with the number on the scales tho your doing great xx

Day 10, different emotions today, all 4 ppl I'm working with are getting a mcdonalds.... Up until an hour ago I was going to partake... Now I'm not. One of them knew the other night I was dieting, do I really wanna be the fat girl who gives in that easily all my life?

P.s what scales do u have they sound fab xx

Hi again hun, how u getting on? Well I got pregnant again and got a bit complacent and let things slip then over this past year iv gained a whopping 3-4 st just by binge eating a lot, don't really no why to be honest just pure greed! Got to turn it around though it makes me so so miserable, day...

Definately in ketosis Hun, think I was by day 3, but even still in ketosis, in the past I'd still have caved in at times, think it's that I'm determined this time too, sick of been fat, moaning about it, not making any effort, and all the other stuff that comes with it xx

You can do it Hun, what's harder, resisting a bit of shortbread for a while or going to bed heavy and feeling fat every night and seeing the scales go up every morning! It's not something you HAVE to do, your choosing to do this. I realised yesterday it's going to be a long slog but then I...

Day 9..!!! These past few days have gone fast, I struggle on days when I have nothing going on! Yesterdays meal was gorgeous, I dry fried chicken, a few mushrooms and soy sauce then added a tiny bit of curry powder I have, and then kept adding a bit of water when the pan looked dry! I suppose...

Hi lovelies, hope you are all doing fab, when i get a few hours to myself i will have a nosey through at any diaries, thank you for you're support though its a big help! xx

Hiya, im just starting with s&s this week too, on day 7 of shakes though, just finished my vile cambridge ones! You're doing great so far, the taste is gross isnt it, i just cant be rid of it, i drink more than enough water too! I cant put the cover over my head and snuggle into it cos the...

Hi ladies thanks for taking to the time to say hi, hope you're doing ok, struggling today, seem peckish! Had a chocolate shake with about 350ml of water and it was really tasty! Not gonna take my purse to work with me thats always a danger zone, the vending machine always manages to seduce me...

Day 7 Slim and Save order just recieved Thought i would start my own little place to ramble on a daily basis, good time to start as i am feeling nibbly, bored and peckish. Currently on day 7 of VLCD, been using up old cambridge plan sachets from last friday when i started, not been 100% sole...

I like food a lot, and drinks, when im good im really good but when im bad im awful, always been the same, somehow after i had my first daughter i managed to lose about 6 stone and was 9stone for around a year! since having my second iv ballooned again! I have done most diets to be honest, and...

hey hun, its not the exact same diet but i am doing one of the other milkshake diets and also in the first week, similar goal weight and height too however i let myself go to the extent of 15st 10lbs! its day 6 today though (so 5 full days on the shakes) and it looks like 7lb gone already! The...

thanks girls, support means so much, and hi mishi nice to see u :) im glad quite a few people are the same as me, sometimes i feel like im absolutely nuts, see yesterday, i was going to do slimming world, and just because i knew i could eat *so and so food* in abundance it completely knocked me...

well, it maybe a stupid thing for a chubber to say but i haaaate food!! i hate having to think about what im going to eat, i hate having a fridge full of food because i constantly feel like i need to have my head in it, i cant concentrate knowing ANYTHING is in there its like a voice in the back...

what about malibu and diet coke, thats a nice taste and something different to voddy, iceland do a cheap version thats about a 5er wine a soda water/diet lemonade? x

seeing some action on the scales lately mrs! your doing so so well, especially as you've had quite a bumpy ride, what an inspiration to battle through it, keep pushing on, finding what works for you and most importantly the weight still coming off! xxx

hi mrs cakes hope everything is going ok, just been catching up, a few posts ago you said something about a slow loss in the first month, but 14lbs is AMAZING, on a lot of other diets you'd maybe be looking at about 8lbs p.m loss! plus totm to contend with i think you've done absolutely amazing...

hey hun, i have a 40th birthday party this weekend and then next weekend a ball to go to, and wanted the option to enjoy myself and have a drink, just didnt see the point in getting out of ketosis and then the pain of going back in, to then come back out again. so as of a week on monday im back...

hi lovely lady, everything going ok, feel bloated but i know thats just the transition into normal food BUT i have been good as gold and eaten well, (as in wholemeal bread, pasta, veg, eggs etc) i have put on 2 lb but that i think is completely unavoidable when going back to solids. hoping that...

aw thats fab news hun, another 1lb down, those 11's are calling you loudly! you are so close xxx

dont suppose you're able to have a nap or anything are you? im a sleepaholic and i really find a cheeky afternoon nap makes it go a bit faster and also stops the cravings / been near the kitchen for a while xx

thank you, i was in those boots too at the weekend though dont get me wrong, i thought i was gonna hyperventilate on friday i was in such a tizz ha, funny how not eating can bother you're mind so much! then on sunday i went to the shop on the way home from sunday dinner and i bought a chocolate...

you poor thing, pmt is the worst time to be dieting but sometimes it just needs to be done, i know how you felt last week, i have no idea i got through it! i could quite easily say... oh no i wont drink, but i dont want to get there and the temptation become too much because i know of the...

.....

me too :) it used to be my biggest downfall, you wouldnt believe what id have in my basket... crisps to quiches, then a full dessert and a full cooked chicken just so i could eat the skin.... like a woman possessed! it hit me right between the eyes one day when my five year old brought two...

hi hun, its out of you're system now so it might stop tormenting you and renew you're passion to get to where you want to be :) we all make mistakes and we're all human, what makes a difference is actually been able to admit to it, and get back on it, whats done is done :) i used to 'plan'...

i know thats whats keeping me on the straight and narrow :) plus when i look in the mirror my waist is back - its got to come off sooner or later, plus i know if i have a slow week this week next weeks loss should be great! happy friday kc xxx

hi lyds hope you managed to get back on ok today and you enjoyed what you had for lunch yesterday :) so... day 17? something like that, feel a bit crappy today, for some stupid reason my tummy feels bloated and full, has done all day really. i just dont get how i can weigh 10st 12lbs on monday...

when i first started i took the battery out the scales so i know i can do it, will just have to do that again xx

i felt exactly the same as you last week, and definately think that pmt was the biggest factor but i dont think the same number on the scales helped very much either each day. this journey isnt too long (our bmi's are the same, and so are our goal bmi's) its not going to take very long and we...

hey strong lady! you've done so amazing in the sense that not many people would of had the strength to resist that urge to eat the things! think how pants you would feel afterwards though. i weighed daily last week and until friday nothing moved, over the weekend and to monday thats when the...

you're right mrscakes we're half way to the weekend now surely? im in amazing mood, im just putting last weeks teddy out of the cot strop down to pmt - im not usually such a dragon :D and thank you lyds, hope you are getting on ok? thank you for taking the time to write xx well, almost half...

4lbs down wohoooo!! 11st 3lbs tonight, and 10st 12lbs on my own scales this morning! xx

my biggest tip for a tummy you're not so comfortable with, is fake tan! i know its not a permanent fix but it makes the world of difference, the same with cellulite i think it covers that a bit too. a tummy tuck is something im petrified of, as the pain from a c section was unbearable when...

*wolf whisssstles!* you look fab, what a transformation! you should be very much proud of yourself and you're gonna be dinky when you are done! im the same as you i carry it all on my bottom too but when im at my smallest it seems to even out a bit more. you've got beautiful hair too! i wish...

day 14!!! well after my meltdown last week i wasnt really sure how long i'd be able to do this diet for, but today im feeling euphoric! i knew if i could make it over the weekend and past the pmt i would be ok, and i hope i can continue with this feeling for the rest of the week! when i first...

hi ya lil fox! cant believe how fast its flown til peter comes home, i dont think il be able to read you're diary i think il be a blubbering wreck haha! have you got you're outfit sorted for *the* day? hope you have had a good weekend xx

hello lovely lady thought id pop in and show my support seeing as you are so supportive of me :) its so good to hear you are settled, theres nothing worse then feeling hit and miss on this diet, if you're heads in the right place... the size 10/12/14's will follow :) it wont be long until you...

thanks kc how was you're weekend? are you still well and truly in the zone? how fast is the time going?! so last night i had a chicken breast, cottage cheese and some chopped up cucumber, i think i just needed something, i was planning on doing sole source + from now on anyway but after eating...

hi shan, quick update, will update fully tomoro, weekends are so busy for me, yesterday felt crap again, had 2 shakes and went to bed early as i thought i was gonna pass out, today back on it but had a chicken breast tonight, not even weighed or anything, with a spoon full of cottage cheese for...

thanks hunni :) if i can get to monday i know i can do anything :) x

well.... time of the month is upon us, im putting it down to my body arguing back with the diet because im half way through a pill packet, either way i stopped taking my pill as soon as i could, so that was two days ago and today i feel like a dragon! no wonder i was down in the dumps yesterday...

must of been something in the air yesterday, a 4th pack is so much better than anything illegal though so you did brilliantly there happy friday :) hope today brings some better thoughts and calm xxx

you too sweet, its just one of them days, im not actually hungry its just my head been a cowbag :D oooo exciting stuff hen night :) dont think the scales are going to be kind to me this week but who knows xxx

yeah, not having the night off isnt even an option, just dont know what to do in the week leading up to it, ss or a higher plan or what, who knows, im just getting a bit bored now, same old every day haha i dont know how people can do this for 12 weeks at a time. the last time i weighed, monday...

im not sure, my cdc will probably put me up at 10st 6lbs, but i have a ball to go to on the 4th of feb, and im not even gonna not consider not eating a 3 course meal with all my friends and OH so i cant see me been at 10st 6lbs by then, so whether i ss up to that night, then have the night off...

i have to take a nytol to help me sleep, nothing worse than been awake while 4am especially ravenous!! so i definately feel for you there! i feel so unsociable with my family aswell, i just want to have a nice meal with bf, but it will be here soon enough hope u have a better day tomoro, you...

hey hunni, feel down in the dumps, hoping tomoro will be a new day, i think its just cos i've not been anywhere really for a few days and stuck in the house, this diet is a serious mind messer! how u getting on lovely?

yes yes yes im with you 100% on that one, as with everything, because i know it probably wont damage things, knowing its there is a comfortable safety net, and i like the thought of it been like that instead of a habit, a nifty trick up our sleeves that we probably wont need :) id kill for a...

sorry cross posted :D thanks kelly xxxx

Fridays always = good thoughts :D then only the weekend to overcome and it will be WI again! The only reason i think i fancy ss+ is because i dont want my eldest who is 5 to notice that im not eating and i dont want dieting etc to be something shes conscience of yet. I think the only other...

Well after the other night i seemed to be fine the next day thank god, i couldnt even bare to open my mouth to talk, it was like i had no energy at all, so took half a nytol and we went to bed early. Seemed to be fine when i woke up yesterday morning, although have been waking up absolutely...

fantastic what a boost, congratulations KC you definately deserve it xx

wow 39lbs compared to 112 what an amazing, life changing challenge you set yourself - and have almost completed! wohooo xx

wohooo day 7 mrs! how quickly is time going? 8lbs is whopping, you're doing so fab :) xx

i feel like i've had a delayed ketosis reaction!! got a lingering headache and a furry tongue and if my heads under the covers my breath makes my eyes water! surely it cant have taken 8 days to get into it? i'd of been ravenous?? who knows, hope i start feeling better tomoro though! booo xx

wow well done, fab result! bet you feel amazing... think how amazing you're gonna feel next week too! xx

morning miss cakes! how you getting on today? im the same as you, fat collector round the bottom half! its awful, its like i've got two different bodies...! i would say im borderline a 16 on bottom but can even get into a ten on top - half woman half horse haha. i had a moment this morning...

thank you becky xx

eurgh, nothing worse then a group of women having a good old gossip cos their lives arent interesting enough... i bet each and everyone of them individually actually admire you for how far you've come and done, but none of them had the balls to stand up and say it so just carried on *****in...

jayellekay thank you so much :) katycakes your a peeker like me arent u? but can you imagine the loss if you didnt weigh until your cdc was back, i think id probably faint haha! i just cant keep off my scales though! apart from this morning! it might spur you on to adjust the sticker though and...

thanks kcakes, when is your weigh in day hun? shanny done cd a couple of times but never managed a few days, maybe 5 or 6 at the most, the orange is lovely, such a nice change! xx

you might be a bit taller than me - its weight and height that goes towards bmi, im only 5ft 4. so iv roughly worked out that at bmi25 id be 10st 6 or 7ish so would have to stop then xx iv just tried the water flavouring, was dubious as it looked like dish water but its bloody lovely! thanks...

down 8 whole lbs! wohoo! cdc scales a whopping 5 lbs different to mine! i can stay on sole source too, apparantly the bmi + a stone thing is just for starters so i can do sole source til i hit bmi of 25 which is 10st 7lbs or so. came home, had a banana tetra, swapped the remaining 3 bars and...

must be something in the water today hun, i woke up ravenous too, the onion rings dumped in the dogs dish after the family had their tea were looking nice haha! whichever way you go im sure you will be fine maybe do low carb and low fat? lean chicken and fish and salad etc xx

thanks hunni! i agree with the home scales thing too, well.. if im comparing it to my last weight on there it cant be too much of a bad thing :) i've got down two shakes now and 1.5l of water, gonna have a bit more water then try n have nothing for a few hours - obviously if i feel thirsty il...

thanks hun x

wow... what a rollercoaster! woke up this morning, knowing it was day 7 and i was absolutely starving, sulking and just miserable! i've never made it this far... or never made it this far with the intention of going any further. came downstairs and got the girls sorted with breakfast and got...

aw good stuff! i felt awful this morning, woke up starving... i think its the 7day itch.... but after a mint shake i feel AMAZING! wonder if il be put on to 810 tonight...? hope you to continue to have a good day amy xx

hey hun thought id sneak in and say hello! look at all the support you have :) you'll breeze through this! i love the own weighers, first thing in a morning too! i wish i wasnt a peeker but i honestly think it helps me! congrats on doing so amazing so far, and heres to a fresh new week :)...

im exactly the same, at least we can take comfort in the fact most people doing the diet might feel anxious like this at some point or another, seeing her tomoro evening at 6.30pm xx

i can see myself slimmer.... my older clothes fit me again... (im a while from my slimmest clothes mind) i cant feel as much of a double chin when i am looking down im not hungry.... all this is a perfect situation BUT why doesnt it curb the desire to eat?! its just crazy! then on the other...

katycakes i know what you mean, i think its just because its there, that makes you want it, its just so easy to get to! if the weather wasnt so rubbish id go for lovely long walks with the pushchair but its horrid out, and where i live the walks arent too pleasant as its quite hilly! hope you've...

yeah im the same too but would rather not torture myself if i CAN get out of the way of food, its amazing how quick its gone, and tomoro will be the same, i need to find something to do during weekdays, if it was nicer weather id go for a nice long walk but its not and my day absolutely drags, i...

Had to escape to the bedroom cos the smell of onion rings is crippling me let alone watching someone else eat them.... im not hungry they just smell amazing! poor little family, dont wanna sit downstairs sulking and making them feel guilty for eating their tea, not their fault i let myself get...

and the last time you're gonna see 12st 9lbs....... :)

thank u lovely! i need to do it, never made it past day 6 or 7 before but iv whinged my way through 2010 about been fat and how low its made me feel so i HAVE to do it this time, other wise il waste another year waddling around with a face like a wet weekend - when in reality i have everything i...

well i feel ok as usual and iv been colder but i do have a cold nose, feets and hands! perhaps it is just because im a bit more sensitive to the cold, havent got dressed today let alone left the house - i say i havent got dressed... does trying on half my wardrobe count?! thanks for your post...

Can someone please re assure me that im not gonna keel over lol, my lips are blue?! iv not noticed this side effect before! im not overly cold even though my nose end is freezing! It seriously looks like iv got blue lippy on!

I wasnt going to start a diary for the millionth cambridge attempt, as i feel foolish when i fail - but then i feel completely different this time! I am a stone lighter than the last effort on the diet and it seems to make so much difference, i feel i am a stone closer than i was before, and...

hi hun, good luck with starting tomoro - dont be nervous :) - x

im not sure they do it in a fruit flavour the one i use is definately plain, its taste less colour less and odour less and its just mixed in with water, i know u can use other fibre supp's but wasnt sure if this was one of them, thanks hun

hiya does any one know if this can be used on sole source? thanks in advance x

im quite hungry.... even the dog food smelt good...!! stay strong x

woohoooo thats fab! congrats - i forgot how amazing that feeling was when clothes fit again... and the feeling gets even better when u think 'il wear them in three weeks' and when it comes to putting them on again they are too big! haha im lazy too, im the laziest slob you could ever meet - and...

aw what a pain in the bum! like u say, its a good job its sorted before you took off on a long journey somewhere with mini in the car too! so thats a relief in some way! they still should of fixed it in the first place! love how your still so perky and up beat, id of been a right whingey mess...

sounds like you're daughter needs a short sharp shock to bring her to reality! its all well and good living it up at her girlfriends after doing something wrong... but if she just comes home, gets away with it again... shes gonna keep on doing so! sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind and in...

hi hunni, read through you're diary a couple of days ago, and i can only really say what others already have, you really are one heck of a role model, as a dieter, a mum and a young lady! iv loved reading through you're diary and have choked back tears at points and giggled at others! i hope...

im 5ft 4 and a size 16 in bottoms at 12st 5ish on average (i go up and down from 12st 1 - 12st 10 and my bottoms still fit just a bit slacker or more muffin top than usual), im much bigger on my bottom half though and makes my legs look very short and stumpy, size 12 ish on top, congrats on...

yeah i agree with the nice and easy conditioner, i think it usually comes in the hair dye but u can buy it in boots and its only cheap and it smells fab too!! i know what you mean about finding a hairdresser your happy with it can really put you off going sometimes aswell then lead to doing it...

this is the result of having a sister in law whos a hairdresser, if i went to a salon they wouldnt touch my hair, its been black, red, blonde, back red, blonde again lol! the best thing u can get too is a real good conditioner so it doesnt get too dry or maybe an intense conditioner once a week...

u can buy wash in wash out toners, there little sachets, about 99p, i only use a toner when i want to go white blonde, just to tone it down slightly with an ash colour, blue / purple shampoos are good though it tends to take away any brassy colours or orange, but each time u go back that brass...

thanks kcb, that was my problem too, was good the end part of last week when i first started... then the weekend came! will have to learn how to reign myself, it was stupid things i knew i shouldnt be doing not just little cheats, big pint shaped ones!! anyway heres to next week, a good one...

2lb down this morning, had to claw back some weekend kfc naughtiness and a few pints of lager on saturday night, hopefully will try and be good over this weekend.. its so hard! good luck to everyone else xx

its quite a big change coming from a dark colour too its lifted really quite well, the next few times you go it will just get lighter and lighter plus you will be used to it then, red is one of the worst colours to lift from, mine went really ginger on the first attempt! its looking lovely and...

its just a warmer tone of blonde :) sometimes coming from a darker colour, when you go blonde you can feel its yellow or orange, but thats nice, its not too brassy either :) if need be and you really want it a bit lighter, get you're hairdresser to just pull a few bits through foils to give a...

yeah sorry realised my mistake after id written it, just getting to grips with the A and B's

just realised, sorry, cheese is a HE-a isnt it? derr, didnt think that before typing the above, my mistake

sorry for sounding thick, i just did a low low search and this is the first thread that came up, circes, is that right about cheese no longer been a healthy extra B on extra easy? i've just signed up online and it doesnt say anthing about that? its still got babybel and cheeses on the list...

my pleasure, its so difficult, and if it helps you tell him, my oh is brill too and he'd talk me round, sometimes its just what you need to make you think 'do you know what, i can do this, and im not on my own' u might not be able to look at another exante bar the same for a while though...

im naughty and would keep quiet, but then again im rubbish cos i would fall off the wagon completely, and would get busted with my head in the crisp cupboard, legs wagging! it can be our little secret though, we wont tell hubby, and u can smile smugly with him... what he doesnt know wont hurt...

tomorro is a new day! if you let it haunt you, you will struggle to get over it! its done now and cant change it but you can try not do any more carb damage, im so sorry but this post made me chuckle, the humour in the writing and how it reminds me of me, sometimes i just cant stop! maybe you...

wowee fab! wonder if there was something in the water yesterday... i struggled too, congrats on the loss :) x

yurmee!! my mouth is watering!

all good, might give it a whirl too i love how light i feel in the water and how i feel like iv lost 2 stone when i step out of the sauna... haha i wish!

is lamb rogan relatively low carb...?? yum yum, wonder if it tastes the same without garlic naan.... and i just cant imagine picking off fish batter - torture

does it have to be chinese / indian, you can get a nice portion kebab meat, salad and have some mayo or garlic mayo, or a chicken kebab without the pitte/naan? sorry if it doesnt help but just another idea for u enjoy whatever you have

good for you, you dont let no one dictate to you what diet or how you should diet, it comes naturally, what works for one might not work for another! i love flapjack and peanuts so i bet its gorgeous! not getting on too bad, i tried my fat pants on and they was a bit big so its made me bouncy...

just tried my fat pants on (im a secret tryer onner - all the time) AND THERE TOO BIG wohooo, i just wanted to note this so i can read it back and remember how excited i was! iv got butterflies in my tummy and the hunger to succeed this time! no pun! i forgot how amazing this felt, putting...

makes me glow for the rest of the day too, and my skin feels lovely, not had one for yonks, saying that though, not been in a cossie for i dont know how long! have fun

i just did a stint of 2 weeks on atkins before CD and they definately helped me get through the two weeks, they are like a real indulgence but because of the protein in them they still make u feel not hungry. i even had a 'im gonna binge moment' and tried to but couldnt ha thats a good thing...

eurgh and forgot the furry tongue! i just cant seem to get rid of it, even brushing it 3 x a day isnt helping, and theres no trouble drinking the water cos its making me sooo thirsty i cant stop anyway! plus if anyone is reading this.... what do people think to the soups, any recomendations, i...

hiya, for cambridge its not really suitable as 1 pack contains a 3rd of you're vitamins and minerals intake so obviously once you've had all 3 you've had you're full daily allowance. i wish it was do-able the atkins bars are fab, compared to normal chocolate bars never mind compared to the...

good afternoooon day 3 ! choc orange shake so far and a litre of water down! needed a good talking to myself yesterday, wasnt hungry but was just having a little strop that i cant eat but i WANT to, stampy feet kind of palarva. mainly cos OH was making kievs and my most favourite smell ever is...

yeah 3 to 4 days i would imagine to get the sugar from your body, maybe even less, possibly two :) dont be too harsh on yourself, i know what you mean about having them in for the kids though, luckily my eldest is 4 at the minute so eats what she is given and doesnt really make any requests, i...

hiya, i would imagine you'd be looking a quite a good loss, but even if its 1 or 2 lbs, its in the right direction and not another gain getting you closer to where you started, you've done really well to take stock and go back to into instead of thinking 'oh well damage is done' and keep eating...

hi lisa, you getting on alright? they sound lovely, i know its a different diet but im on cambridge and i think the bars are absolutely foul, would be love to be able to nibble on proper food and have a bar than was nice!

hmm i agree with the above post, the only other thing i might add that might be against it, is losing body salts ( i think you do when you sweat) than might not be replaced. i would imagine dehydration been the biggest reason but if you drink enough water? again though this is off the top of...

hi pinky you can do this! its difficult but its even more difficult having a piece of this or a piece of that, it just makes the journey a little bit longer, a few days of 100% and it will give you a feeling of not even fancying food (you still want it, i think its because its the 'norm' and...

what an inspiration! and you lost a pound weighing in a day early too! congratulations! thank goodness for the hysterectomy eh its a good job you kept pushing on at them :) i wish you all the best and good luck x

wow what a couple of weeks for you! considering what you have been through you did so well to only put on 4lbs, thats amazing, and as you say, u must have some new habits, to not go wild when you was eating and drinking and just think 'sod it' i really hope things work out for you as it looks...

had a final shake last night, choc orange and tasted not too good, i definately prefer the mint choc, i have about 7 of each though so gonna have to push through the orange, maybe use less water than i have been so i can get it down my neck quicker! anyway, day 2 is here, i feel good, was lucky...

what a day, i dont know where it has gone from 07.40 this morning, and dont be fooled, i havent been rushed off my feet, in fact the complete opposite, i havent even got dressed today! it has been the worst day ever, little girl screaming, then finally a bit of respite as she falls to sleep...

does you're hubby have anything to do with the shopping? my bf used to be the same until he physically had to hand the cash over (instead of just me on my own) funnily enough that made him realise how much shopping actually cost.... and his tight mind decided he was gonna stop eating like a...

thanks, support means a lot, no, ideally not, once i've spoke to my new cdc i'l try carry on until she advises me to start adding meals etc she obviously knows more about it than i do, but i would like to continue sole source down to 10st, then slowly lose the final stone, but easier said than...

you can do it! think how proud you will feel when someone says 'wow, you look fab, have you lost weight?' one hell of a feeling and it wont be long before you hear it!
