Yes, it's called value diary and the icon is sort of a white box with a red heart in the centre. I've got it in my iPhone and its brilliant. Think it cost a couple of pounds but more than worth it.

U should be on 36 a day with an extra 49 a week as extras to use how you wish if you use them at all.

OMG!!! Ive just read your story with my mouth agape! You look amazing, esp the pic in the pink t.shirt! You have done SOOO well, and have inspired me to carry on with WW. I know it's the sensible way to go, and you have made me realise that it can be done without the help of surgery, if you just...

After dieting from being 17 til now (43), Ive tried them all, ww, sw, vlcd, xenical, and Im still the heaviest Ive ever been. My weight is getting me down, and now, as Ive hit my 40's, its finally beginning to affect my health and what I can and can't do, as it's aggravating my bad back, meaning...

Just read all your posts with a mixture of laughter and total understanding. How you can sit there and say 'oh my degree is only in criminology' is beyond me! I'm well impressed. You come across as being a very intelligent funny lady so don't put yourself down. I've started doing sw again this...

1.5 on aldi cous cous, counting 7 for a meal replacement bar I had for breakfast, decided to start doing sw again last week so using up what I've got in cupboards til I do a shop again.

I've got a bad back which isn't being helped by my weight, I'm in agony with it at the moment which has knocked my appetite for six so thought it was the ideal time to start

Just seen that you are into your 4 th day, well done!

I've been messing about on ww and sw since january, and now, 9 wks away from my holiday, I've finally decided drastic measures are called for, and you know what? I think it actually works better for me this way than losing a pound or none a wk! I'm having a meal replacement bar and shake per...

Hiya, I too was going to try doing LT again, only managed a week last time, but am going on holiday in ten wks, so need drastic measures. However, instead of doing the full monty of only shakes and bars I've bought some bars and shakes from the website Avidlite, and I'm eating a low carb meal...

Cable, what diet are you doing/ what are you having on average on a typical day? I started a ten wk countdown diet yesterday, I'm having 2 meal replacement bars plus a low carb meal a day. Hoping to lose 2 stone in the ten wks

I think it's likely your body is readjusting itself as you have been ill, I'd carry on and personally, I reckon by next wk you will see a better loss. That's just my opinion.

I'm the same, my weight at it's highest was 18st 1lb, I'm starting again this week, on WW online, starting at 17st 7, it's hard, but it DOES work. And coming on here really helps.

I like to make cottage pie with lean beef, mashed potato on top for family, mashed potato and mashed swede on my bit as it's less points. I also like pasta with roast veg, pesto and tuna, quick easy, and I can point it easily.

spag bol tonight, with a garlic slice, and salad.

Hi, I'm almost in the 16's, hopefully will be next week, was looking for a 16's to 15's thread, but can't find one! So I'm starting one now. Anyone in the same boat, join up here!;)

Hi, am currently 17st 5lb, wanting to get into the 15's by my hols beginning of June.

hi,I too am starting ww tomorrow, been on sw for a few weeks, but it seems to stop working after a few weeks, prob cos i can eat as much pasta as I want, lol! So, looking at a few diaries for inspiration.

Hi, I too am doing WW on my own at home, it's hard, Ive been off the wagon all weekend, but you know what, I'm just writing it off, and already planning exactly what I'm going to have next week. Ive got a few ww meals in, ww bagels and french fries in for lunch at work, and oats so simple...

Good luck Sammy, I too am starting Discover tomorrow, swapping over from sw, as I know Discover works for me if I stick to my points!

omg Miss D, that's amazing!

Does anyone know of any low point sausages, im doing discovery plan, thanks

Hi, could I join? I'm starting doing Discovery again on Monday, and would like to lose 16lb by xmas. cheers Karen

thanks for you comments, I think I am gonna give ww a whirl. Ive totally lost the effort necessary to do sw, and haven't done any form of dieting for over a week now, and know Ive put some weight back on by how my clothes fit(daren't get on the scale!). Am gonna join a class next week, get the...

Ive been on and off sw since the end of April, going to classes most of that time, but have only managed to lose 11lb, and have put 4lb of that back on this last 4 weeks due to hols. However, I'm finding it hard to get back into it, and am wondering whether to give ww a go. I did it a couple of...

cous cous if you have access to a kettle, or a couple of alpen bars and fruit to pass you on til teatime?

oh yummy, you can't go to the seaside and not have fish and chips! lol!

just be good the rest of the week, I fell off the wagon big style, joined in April, stopped going to classes beginning of June, then re-joined last week to find I'd only put 3 and a half pounds on, I was expecting a lot more, and I'm back on track now. It's so easy to lose focus though, I'm sure...

at work, I tend to have a mullerlite with a banana, then a couple of hours later, I have a piece of sw 'quiche' which is eggs, a tub of cottage cheese (very low fat) and what ever veg/ham/bacon etc you fancy, all mixed up and cooked in the oven for 40 mins or so on a low light (you might have...

ooh, thanks everyone, think Ive been that set in my ways of eating Quorn sausages, Ive not noticed how many meat versions are low in sysn

thanks, I sometimes need a choc fix and have been wondering what's best to have

just been reading your diary, you're a true inspiration, and well done on getting rid of one of you hitchhikers, lol, what an achievement!

Hi, does anyone know of any syn free sausages that can be bought in the supermarket (not ones especially made by your butcher), as the Quorn ones have changed and are not syn free any more:mad:. As I eat loads, I'm desperate to find a replacement. Either veggie or meat I'm not bothered.

I have 1 slice of wholemeal from a medium cut loaf if I'm having any, I weighed it the other day, and it's actually under 57g, so I reckon that's ok. I was buying the small loaves, and throwing most of it away, as I don't very often have bread even as a HB

I have it all the time at work, just empty the packet, put boiling hot water on it, cover for 2 mins and it's done. I usually have the Ainsley Harriott ones as they're already flavoured for you, and you don't have to faff about with spices etc. I normally put roast veg in it, or just salad...

Hi, ive just read your first page, and your last page on here, you're doing brilliantly, and you're a great inspiration. Ive been looking at what you eat for inspiration as well, it's given me a few ideas, and nice to see you still have the odd 'naughty' treat which is syn'd along the way!

ah don't worry about it, I found SW hard to understand at first, probably cos you have so much choice! But like the others have said, you will still lose, even doing it for 6 days instead of 7. Good luck with the rest of the week, 1 day isn't going to make that much difference!

Hi, I re-joined last night as well, good luck, I'm wanting to lose a lot more than you, so just plodding on til next June's holidays is my aim!

Decided yesterday afternoon, after trying to 2 days of shakes and bars dieting, that I was going to re-join sw. Fortunately, Weds nights are my sw class nights, so I just went down, and re-joined after not going for 7 weeks. I was actually pleasantly surprised, I'd only put back on 2 and a half...

Hi, I'm rejoining tonight SW that is, so wish me luck! Nice to see some new faces on here, good luck everyone!

watched Brighton Rock on Sunday, a re-make of the original, it was good, but not what I was expecting for some reason.

well this might seem boring, but it is my fave, chicken and bacon pasta: pasta, bacon, chicken, mushrooms, quark, pesto, cook the bacon and chicken, then the mushrooms, throw into freshly cooked warm pasta, mix in quark, then a tablespoon of pesto, grate some parmesan over, quick and...

ooh I'm glad Ive found this link, Ive been wondering how to make this properly for ages.

Ive just seen your stats and I think you're doing brilliantly! I love coming on here and getting inspiration from people like you!

just seen the comments regarding your weight above, but well, if you want to be underweight, who are we to argue?

Hi Mrspopi. I was in the same boat last year, I did Lipotrim for a few weeks, but couldn't afford to keep it up at £37 a week. I then read on this site about a website called Avidlite, they sell all types of diet foods etc, but if you go on the site, there's a tab on the left which says meal...

I have electronic ones, theyre EKS make, they are good, pretty accurate, and were from Argos in the sale.

Ive decided that this year, instead of saying I want to lose weight, I'd love to lose weight etc, I'm actually gonna do something about it!:o

My manager did this for 18 months, he lost 5 stone (but did take up exercise which he did 5 days a week), and had no dental problems.

Poor you! Have you thought about going to see a physiotherapist? I had a really bad back last summer, and she did wonders even in the first session. Well worth the expense!

I usually have yoghurt followed by grapes or nectarine. Ive also got some meal replacement choc bars from the Avidlite site, they're yum and ideal for breakfast on the move

I got some shakes and bars from a website called Avidlite, they came this week. I did Lipotrim in January, and the shakes tasted disgusting, the so called 'flapjack' was more a slab of carpet than anything resembling 'food'. The shakes I have got from Avidlite are chocolate and banana, the...

Hi Amanda, yeah, its confusing isn't it? The box definately says 2 bars equals 1 meal. Oh well, I only had 1 this morning, and a shake for lunch and I feel fine so I'll see how I go. Thanks for that though.

Got my first order through 2 days ago, very excited, and have just started them today as I'm at home and find it easier to stick to when I'm not at work. Anyway, had a replacement bar this morning, Choc Truffle which was divine, read the box and you need 2 to replace a meal, not 1 as I thought...

Just having my first shake from Avidlite and it's very nice! Much nicer than the Lipotrim ones, mind you, this is made with milk not water so that probably explains it. Felt a bit hungry earlier, but motivated now cos lost 5lb this week! :jelous::p

Like a lot of others on these boards, Ive tried dieting many many times over the years. However, now I'm over 40, I'm finding it harder to lose, but, I'm also finding the side effects of being overweight to be more limiting to my everyday life. Walking for one thing, is getting more and more...

I'm having a day off this Saturday as we are going out, but I think the odd day doesn't hurt, especially if you have a lot to lose.

I know exactly what you mean, I'm trying to start afresh tomorrow as well,

you look like a different person! Well done!

I know what you mean, I was trying to work out my 10% today, it's not that much really ten percent of five stone, its the 5 stone thats daunting, lol! When I look at some peoples stats on here though, I get motivation from them, and think yeah, it can be done! Well done on your loss so far!

Kira, those are amazing stats, and in a relatively short time, CONGRATULATIONS!

Well done, you look FAB!

Amazing pics, an inspiration. I love that maxi dress!

OMG!!! What an inspiration you are! You look a different person, and about 10 years younger! WELL DONE!!!!!!!!

like others have said, Boots do nice low cal sarnies, maccyD's fillet o fish is lower cals than most other things, and they have the salads, but not sure how many cals in the dressings that come with salads, or, as daft as it sounds, chicken kebab with salad is also fairly low in cals if served...

omg, there are sooo many at the moment, bacon sandwich being the top one.

I'm dieting for me, theres no pressure from family, but, I would like to look nice for my husband as well, and be fitter for my son who's 7. Also, the fear of developing stuff like diabetes and other related obesity diseases is now a motivation as I'm getting older (I'm 41).

Ive just ordered 2 wks worth of shakes and bars, can't wait to get started, been trying to be good this week, but really up for starting the meal replacements, my head's in the right place!

thanks Yambabe, I'm ordering some meal replacement stuff on Avidlite today. Just having a look on here as to what is a meal replacement, and what is just like a 'snack' to have in addition. Its a minefield! I tried Lipotrim in January, but couldn't stick it, and it's too expensive for me to do...

that should read day 2!

just need to vent my thoughts, on day of my own vlcd, and am starving! Had so far today, a pack of low fat crisps, a nectarine, 2 bowls of home made veg soup. Am having jacket spud with salad and tuna mayo for tea and can't wait! Am trying to be good until I can afford to order some meal...

You're back on track now, and I'm the biggest comfort eater known to man, so don't feel too bad about it, don't beat yourself up any more and just start eating healthily again. I'm doing a vlcd as that's how I can cope with losing weight, if I see it coming off quickly, but there are so many...

I started my own vlcd yesterday, I was starving and had a massive headache all day. However, like you, I'm sick of feeling down about my size, and seeing loads of nice clothes which at my current size, I wouldn't dream of wearing. Ive a considerable amount more than you to shift, but just keep...

How come? Is it from restaurants tipping down the drains?
