I hope you don't mind me asking, but I notice you have done slimming world in the past. Do you still use slimming world 'rules' on your none fast days? (Hope that makes sense) :)

Fab diary! Here to subscribe :)

Hiya Priya, Found you! Just catching up before another restart!! My last one ended with an epic fail after my little girl ended up in hospital for 5 days. Hospital food, followed by comfort eating to help my stress has made my clothes even tighter!!! I'm not even sure how much exactly I've put...

Don't be annoyed at yourself, draw a line and move forward. The fact you still know the number of chips you had shows you were still being mindful. I tried to message you, but your mail box is full! i need to drink more! I'm going to bed with a headache so know I'm a mile off on the water...

My goodness, just been catching up on your diary. I'm so sorry to hear that you've not had the best of times over in America and have been through what I can only imagine has been a nightmare with Tabby. Yay, for the flat though. Fingers crossed things keep picking up for you and Lyra finds...

Well I've just read through it and caught up with your return to S&S. A few of us in the same boat I think. I'm back after a 10lbs gain. Wanting a good loss by Christmas. And no you don't look like you weigh 11 stones, you have a lovely shape. Well done on maintaining so well and good luck...

Hi Priya, Nice to see you back. Must be the time of year as I'm back too. As Tamzy says, its part of the process. We loose weigh, we start to feel better, we think we've got the hang of it, we relax a few days and get away with it, then we slowly slip back into old habits, next time we look...

I'm still about ish, had a few days away with my girls but am back now. Not sure where to post really as I'm doing my own thing! Loving food again (even enjoyed a sneaky glass of wine at a BBQ last night), think my head is in the right place to continue on now. I'm thinking I might start a new...

You look gorgeous Hun. Hope you had a really good time. Glad you're enjoying food and have taken any small gain on the chin. Sure it will be water weight gain and fly back off xx

This morning my weight is 9.2.8. I'll take that. Sounds like a gain (all be it very small) but I'm happy as obviously I've been successful at losing any water weight gain by following 5:2. (See Priya it works ;)) I'm contemplating getting a few s&s packs in to use of my fast days if I'm...

I won't go on about food too much, but I had my first successful fast day yesterday. Ended on just under 500 cals. I'd say today is an up day, but I've not hit 1000 cals yet. My poor stomach is too small -yay! - I've just left half of my tea. I must admit I have enjoyed some BBQ sauce on my...

Don't worry about the stretch marks Hun, they will fade. Try some bio oil, it might help. I was fortunate enough to avoid stretch marks during both my pregnancies, I do however have some on my hips from going through puberty, so I know how you feel. But honestly over time they will bother you...

Good news - I'm still here and I enjoyed my night out. Bad news - I've ended up with 2 days really off Plan instead of just 1! My night out was great, we enjoyed a bit of shopping (hard core members of the group started drinking!), had a lovely Italian meal, I really enjoyed mine, although...

Sounds like you're nicely in the zone. Well done on your loss so far. I'm sure you can do 2 st in 3 months is you stick with it. I love Pilates too, currently I'm in the yoga zone, mainly because I was so so stiff

Midi skirt would look nice with it. Have you tried figleaves or bravissimo for something similar? And I'm sure they go upto a DD in next. Probably the best option would be to go and get measured first and then see what you need. My size has changed massively since being on the diet. It might...

Got to love slim and save for how small it makes your stomach, managed to feel very full from very small portions. I have to say, and sorry if this sounds like I'm gloating, but I've really enjoyed having some fruit today. I hope my stomach doesn't feel overly uncomfortable at the weekend. The...

I second Kira, the jogging bottoms don't work! Lol. Your waist looks absolutely tiny in that. Definitely need structured underwear. What about that body thing you found a while ago? I would've thought that would do the trick perfectly? Ha I can see why your mum would pull a face! However...

You look great! I know you're not seeing it at the moment, but you really are over critical of yourself. You're so much smaller than you were at the beginning of your journey. Your scales are showing water gain, there is no way you've put that much on. Keep going, you'll soon have the body you...

So looks like last full day on plan! Carbs from tomorrow to allow for drinking on Saturday. Not going to go too mad, got some new potatoes in to have with my salad, thinking of a small pasta portion with tea oh and there's some cherries in my fridge with my name on them ;) I think I'm ready...

Pics not showing Hun. Good goal to be wearing your skorts this summer. Stick with it, although hoping you won't be on your last legs when doing so ;)

Don't be down hearted, most of your gain will be water weight. Don't panic, it will all be back off by this time next week. You've got the right attitude by jumping straight back on plan, so give yourself a pat on the back for that. And at your age having fun should be important too. You've...

Yes I'm going to keep carbs low and introduce them very slowly. I didn't get around to doing my inches as I appear to have misplaced my tape measure, grr! So I decided to try on my goal jeans.......and.....they fit, well almost. I can get them on and done up. I just have a slight muffin top...

Yes you do look slim. You look lovely :)

I think you're right Kira. 5:2 from next week it is. Especially as I weighed this morning and I'm very happy with the result - 9st 2.6lbs :D I'll take that! Now I'm left thinking that if it weren't for my time off plan next week I could've been seeing off my next goal! Oh well the week or so...

Just been counting my packs and rather conviniently I have just the right number of meal packs, bars and oatmeal to take me through to next Wednesday, these plus a shake a day, makes for a nice simplicity week. Then I'll need to come off plan for a few days in order to drink on Saturday. I'd...

Feel Good Friday! Well done you. And well done for deciding to stick to plan tonight. I hope you have a lovely time :)

Sounds good. Now is your chance to be brave Hun. You look fab. Have a great time. Looking forward to hearing all about it already :)

Very cute! You'll look lovely. I wish I had half of your confidence, I'm afraid my opinion of my still rather chunky thighs wouldn't allow my to wear something so short. I'm bad enough with a mid thigh dress I've got! I've yet to buy any shorts of summer. I'm sure you'll have a great time. I'm...

I agree with Kira, ignore the bride. She may very well not mean anything by it, she may just be in bride-zilla mode with all the wedding plans lol. You're doing great and well done for resisting the food. As for the gain, while you know my feelings on daily weighing, you also know that it will...

Thank you both. Having a lovely day, currently enjoying the afternoon sun with my little ones. Need to drink more water though as I've had a few dizzy turns today! Got some leafy greens for later so hope to feel a bit more with it tomorrow. hope you're having a nice day :)

Glad to report another good day. Although I'm shattered as I've had a really busy day a work. I barely had time between meetings to eat my bar. Although glad that's what I decided to have, wouldn't really of fancy the fuss of a soup or shake. Had some nice compliments again today, in fact one...

Draw a line under it. Make a new start with your new delivery tomorrow. You know it works. 3lbs last week is great. Another 3 weeks like that and you're already nearly a stone down! chin up and move on:)

Priya, you need to clear your private messages, I just tried to send you one, apparently you've exceeded your allowed amount! How are you doing? I hope you are busy getting ready to party :)

Sounds like you've got a good plan for your first few days. I'm sure you'll be in ketosis before you know it. good luck :)

Again thanks for the info Kira! I've spent the day on and off reading through Carrie's diary. Wow! She's really an inspiration. I think reading it has definitely set in my mind, that what I want to do. Will see what Sunday brings weight wise, but hopefully I will be planning to move straight...

Wow! On recommendation from Kira, I've literally spend most of the day (on and off due to my 2 small children) reading your diary, you really are an inspiration. You look fabulous and I really admire your determination, oh and your dress sense!! I'm currently on slim and save hoping to get...

Awe Kira, you'll get there. Stick with it. Yes I think I've come up with a plan for maintenance, I'm thinking I'll do 5:2 (or 6:1 depending if I need a loss or not) and use s&s pack to start for ease. I'm really enjoying the packs so don't think I'll feel too deprived on them. I'm going to...

Oh I feel your pain. Both of my little angels have been through periods of pre 5am wake ups! Unfortunately it's something that my youngest still does on occasion. Coffee, coffee and more coffee! I hope your day has gone well and Zoe at least let you squeeze a nap in during the day (something...

Sounds like a good plan. Good luck. Stick with it, you'll be in ketosis in no time

It will move, keep going. :)

Oh I've jus been having a look, all I can say is I love it! Good find, thanks Kira. I could happily get lost for a few hours looking at all her lovely outfits. Very stylish!

Missie how on earth can you not see the difference??? You are so so so much smaller than before. You have definitely changed so much. You're tiny now. In fact you can even see the difference from the photos last week. I think you have body dysmophia if you can't see it! :p Saying that I'm...

And in other exciting news..... I didn't weigh this morning, partly because I'm still having tummy troubles and feel fairly bunged up!?! (Might be ducolax time :() I did however take my measurements and my waist now measures 29 inches - Woo hoo!! :D It started at 34 inches, so I don't think...

It's the weekend after, just planning and knew you'd be doing it before me so thought I'd ask. So aren't you going to add carbs 48hrs before drinking? I thought it was a massive no no to drink while still in ketosis? I'm a whimp and too afraid of a 3 day hangover or damaging my liver to not...

OMG is that a 7lb loss in 7 days? And you said you never get a whoosh!! ;) Glad you're pleased. I'm sure with a plan you won't do too much damage. Have you got a plan for you refeed for the weekend? I've just been looking at what to do so I've got a plan for next week.

Thanks Kira. I do find some days tough, especially if I've been up during the night or mega early with them. But I think I'm in the zone enough now not to nibble. I tend to out their left overs straight in the bin so I'm not tempted! I can even put jam on their toast without licking my fingers...

Good to see you about still. I don't envy the choices you're having to make at the moment. I totally see why the diet would take a back swat while you concentrate on planning. Anyway, Good you're back with a plan. Have a lovely early Father's Day, I'm sure your hubbie will love the prints :)

Had an impromptu night out out with friends last night. And I managed to stick to plan 100%. I had skewered grilled chicken breast with peppers, mushrooms and red onions. It came with a ginger and spring onion glaze, which it asked for on the side. It was supposed to have chips too but I asked...

This time in 2 weeks I'll be eating real food in readiness for my night out. I'm really quite looking forward to it. :) There is a small part of me that is worried that if I still want to jump back on plan after it will be difficult to do! It wasn't too difficult to get into ketosis this time...

If I was you I'd be booking those flights without a second thought. Even if you do get a job, any employer would understand you already having something booked, especially a family wedding. You're young and you should be enjoying every opportunity that comes your way. How bad would you feel if...

Haha! I just read you morning weight and it took me ages to figure out the 9.24 was a typo - Must be tired! Still under 10, fab. I'm afraid my bust has shrunk somewhat too. I'm now down to 32C from a 34E. I'm sure some of mine is post baby change, but I did used to be quite proud of my...

Glad you feel better for having made a decision. And good that you now have a nice leisurely family trip away to look forward to. And even better you can now get in the zone with your diet plan :)

Well done! Sounds like you're doing great. And well done on the non scale victory

Yay! Well done. You can really see a massive difference. You should be very proud :)

Glad the hunger has eased. You are proper hard core lol.

Don't let yourself get too hungry Hun. Just remember another shake will still only take you to about 600 cals. You're only on about 450 ATM. Try a coffee with sweeteners it might fill a hole. If that doesn't work, consider another shake

Still plodding on nicely. I've been digging through some more of my 'slim' clothes and have a few more outfits to pick from, which feels nice. I've also taken some of my 'fatter' clothes to the charity shop - no going back now! I have however got a rather uncomfortable stomach today. Wind I...

Good evening Priya! As always good to see you've get a plan for the next few days, and week done for sticking with it again today :) Job obs hunting can be frustrating, but you're doing what you can and showing really willing. You'll find the perfect something soon I'm sure

Oh no, I hate the lumps. Have you got a smoothie maker? If not I suggest an extra, extra long shake :)

I've noticed my legs are definitely toning up now and reducing in diameter. I'm not sure if they're affecting my weight loss, as you know I'm not a daily weigher, but they're most certainly improving the look of my legs. I'm hoping my tummy will follow suit soon too with this ab challenge. If...

I wouldn't worry too much, salmon salad would sit nicely on plan. You're doing fab. Make sure you're taking a multivitamin too won't you? You won't officially be getting all the nutrients you need to stay healthy. As for your ultimate goal jeans, you'll get there. You're closer than the last...

Oh my! Just catching up now. Yay! Pleased for you Hun. Knew something had to give soon. Nines before you know it. Sounds like you're in a good place today. Hope you're having a good day. now the big question is are you going to weigh yourself again tomorrow? ;)

Oh no! I'm gutted for you. There's nothing more frustrating than hitting a plateau. I wonder if you're super sensitive to carbs. Or if you body has gone into starvation mode for some strange reason? It might be worth going onto s&s website or I believe fb page and asking one of the s&s staff...

Weigh in this morning and I'm......... 9st 6.8lbs :party0011: I'm over the moon! I've achieved my next target (all be it only just). I've also lost another 9.5 inches!! I love this diet :D Think I'm going to weigh in next on the 15th, which is the weekend before my night out. I'm so happy...

How are you getting on?

Well Tuesday sounds like a good plan then Hun :) Although I'm still feeling positive for you ;) I'd wait with you, but I'm too tempted to know, plus my OCD means I need to do it on the 1st lol. Let me know how you get on with Jillian and challenges. I love yoga, I feel so much better when I...

I'm looking forward to weighing in in the morning. Only part of me is apprehensive, as I might be a little gutted if I've lost nothing in the past 10 days. Saying that, I'm so happy with the physical changes I can see on a daily basis now, it almost doesn't matter what the scales say. We've a...

P . M . A Priya! Positive mental attitude. You'll do it, have faith. You've stuck to plan, so there's no reason you shouldn't have shrugged off those pesky 2 lbs keeping you from seeing nine something. I did day one of abs yesterday, so day 2 of abs and day 11 of crunches to do today. Don't...

You've come so far. The change is massive. You take all the time you need to decide what's right for you. Like Lou says, you can always change your mind again! Female prerogative!! Good food choices tonight though. Pat on the back. Happy plotting!

Don't look at it that way or you won't enjoy it. You're young, you're single, you deserve to have some fun. Your dad is probably just nervous as this is out of his comfort zone, it doesn't mean he doesn't care, just he's apprehensive about you going so far. Ok so this is a curve ball and is now...

Yes, looks like one I've seen. Can start today if you like? I'm all for it, I'll happily do anything to reduce my 'mum-tum'! I'm enjoying the squats though, my legs already feel tonnes better, still a way to go mind! Done day 10 this morning. Think I missed a rest day on day 8. You'll do...

Aggghh!! hope you know what I mean

Hmmm, except from where the stars are it should say *************. Not sure why it's done that, maybe it's against minimins rules :eek:

Yay, she's back! Hey Hun good to hear from you, but sorry you're not having such a brilliant time at the moment. But well done you for sticking with the diet, that's huge, loads of other people would use it as an excuse to break the diet. You're doing fab. Keep chipping away at the job...

Gosh your tastes really can change on this diet can't they? I usually like sausages, so was rather excited to find out some of the low fat ones are ok on plan. I've had the tesco light choices ones before, so got them again, but ergh! I really didn't like them one bit. Worse still, now I've got...

Oh no rubbish. Hope your day hasn't been too vomit filled I hope you both feel better soon

Hi there, sorry to hear you've been through a difficult time recently. You seem nicely in the zone now. Just popped by to say good luck with the rest of your journey. I look forward to hearing how well you do

Have you seen the 30 day abs challenge plastered all over Facebook this week? Fancy adding that to squats too? Hope you're ok, not seen a post from you today x

I feel your pain. I have a very fussy 4.5 year old too. Think it's an age thing. I'm really hoping school in September will help, as she tends to eat a little more when she's with other children. I wouldn't mind so much but she's tiny already, so I worry when she doesn't eat and end up giving...

Morning Priya, Sounds like you've had a busy few days. Emotionally busy too. Hope you're doing ok? Looking forward to hearing about your interview. Only this morning and 3 others to resists the scales now. I'm looking forwards to seeing what you've lost. Bet you get the whoosh you've been...

Today I think I've inadvertently had an excellent diet aid added to my body! :eek: I've had a filling and unfortunately at the time of having it done my mouth was so numb, that when the dentist asked if it felt ok I dutifully nodded, when in honesty I didn't have a clue. That'll serve me right...

Lovely day yesterday. The weather held just, was a little cool, so we managed a BBQ. Salmon was delicious, I was going to be a bit naughty and have about 150g (my calories allowed it in the planner) but my youngest kept stealing some so bet I only got 100g in the end anyway! The more I do...

It really was delicious. I used 75 grams of fage. Mixed the shake up into a paste with a little water first then mixed in yoghurt.

Get your water down you and then you'll get those scales moving again in no time. Have a great day

Looks like a lovely Bank holiday Monday :character00238: Makes up for past couple of days with all the rain showers and sicky children! Fingers crossed, both seem ok today. I think if the weather holds we might even join the masses and get the BBQ out. Think I feel brave enough to attempt...

Not boring at all, we've just had a lovely day pottering about. My girls making mess as quickly as I've been tidying :rolleyes: Makes for easy planning on this diet too. If nothing takes you by surprise, nothing can knock you off course. So sometimes boring is better :)

Ooh I love the beanies. I've been getting them from their website. Just finished an orange and has started a double chocolate - yum! Inspired I'm off to put the kettle on ;) Sorry no no idea about zip or thread. Maybe tell her you're loosing weight and ask her what she advises is best

Hi there :) Your tastes might change as you go on. I however still don't like any of the pasta ones and haven't even tried the porridge as I heard it was sweet. My favourite packs are the cottage pie and the oatmeal, which I agree is an acquired taste lol. I think some of the bars are...

Might be just now, but another day or so and it'll be even more convincing :)

Stick with it and you'll definitely be in the nines by mid June - hopefully by the first! Glad you're finding the Beck book useful. Best thing I got out of it was that there's no harm in being hungry and it always passes. I've done day 5 of my squats :) Have be a good day. Plan sounds good.

Honk for yesterday and the day before (oops!)

Woo hoo! :clap: Good on you. The human body is a mysterious thing. Maybe your metabolism needed a shock to get into action. Anyway, whatever it was, long may it continue. Draw a line under your little binge fest (could've been a lot worse) and keep going, 210 next :)

Stay away from the scales ;) Weighing yourself daily will not get you into the nines any quicker. You know this. As you proved the other day it's more likely to make you stress and break the diet! Just think how ecstatic you'll be seeing a good loss on the 1st. Good advice from Kira make a...

Oh dear it's going to be a long day. Both of my little girls appear to have a tummy bug! Neither really ate tea last night and both went to bed early (at their request) which I thought was too good to be true! My youngest was back awake by half nine and started being sick not much longer after...

I'm now holding off weighing until the 1st on June (so a week on Sunday). 9 days 100% on plan. I challenge you to wait with me? :) That'll give your body a good start and you might be in the nines. How good would that feel? Either way, hope you have a good day

Oh thanks, I hadn't thought about salt, I'll give that a try. feel better this morning. One of my fav shakes for breakfast - rhubarb and custard today - puts me in such a good mood! I'm thinking a may continue with a shake for breakfast once at goal, they're so yummy! I do however have them a...

Morning Priya, Draw a line and put yesterday behind you - you sound like you have already. Sounds like you've already plenty on over the weekend to stop you from thinking and stressing yourself too much. My advice would be distraction. And stay away from the scales. I know how you feel, I've...

I've had a few lightheaded episodes today!! Just as I've stood up, so think it's probably a blood pressure thing. I've had plenty to drink. Just having my last pack. I feel fine other than that and they only lasted a few moments. I'd rather they didn't happen too often though. Has anyone else...

Good on you for sticking with the coke zero! Is it a friend that will understand about the diet? If so be honest, then be fussy and ask for some chicken plain and green leafy veg. If not, you could always say you've a dicky tum and not really have anything ;) Then have a pack either side! As...

Morning! Ive read the Beck solution, there's some good stuff in there. I found some bits really useful. As for the scales, just look at what you were posting last week, you were stuck at 10.4 and look at where you are now. See they are moving really! Don't get disheartened, they will move...

Honk!

Looking lovely lady :) If you're just wanting to track cals and carbs have you tried using the meal planner on the s&s site? I use it just to check my combination of packs, milk/fage and veg keeps me under 650 and 70g carbs.

Sorry to hear about one of the residents being unwell. I hope you keep busy today and don't dwell on it to much. I totally agree greed with you, ironing is the worst!!! I hope despite that you have a good day

I like your motivation, mine was seeing a photo of myself, with muffin top spilling over my trousers, stood next to my very slim friend!! We both had babies at the same time she bounced back, I stuck at fat-mum-tum! I'm really enjoying the new flavour, some are really yummy, sure you'll find...

Ok let's buddy up with this, I'm a few days behind you, but count me in. And don't be jealous, be determined. ;) Stick with it, you'll be in the nines in no time. Squats should make them smaller. And I believe as long as you can feel it, it should be working

Good to see you back. You sound in a good place. You can do this. You'll see nines soon enough if you stick to it. Good to hear you so determined about the job. You sound very hardcore with the squat challenge. I might join you, I could do with toning up now I think. My fitness pal is good...

Good morning all. I got another delivery yesterday - after a bit of drama of it being delivered to the wrong place :eek: S&S company were great and followed up on my behalf. Anyway I'm thinking this might possibly be my last full delivery before I switch to 5:2. So my plan is for the next 28...

Hi and welcome back :) Sounds like you're in the right place to start. And well done for maintaining to the degree you have done for the past year. I think you're right to take one day at a time. Best of luck with day one :clap:

Honk (and for yesterday too)! I'll weigh at the end of the 2 weeks, concentrating on the 100% until the end! :)

Glad you're back on track :) I like some of the packs, it feels more like eating normal food. I like the oatmeal, although I've not tried the porridge. I read somewhere the porridge is sweeter so didn't fancy it. Although I'm sure someone who's actually tried them all could give you better...

I know what you mean about fitting in the packs. I missed one at work last week so ended up trying to squeeze. 3 in before bed. Stuffed is not the word! I now try and eat at normal meal times, hungry or not so that I get them all in. Plus think it's good (for me personally) to stick with a...

She must just like talking to you ;-) Glad you're having a good day. Good that you've found somewhere happy to adapt orders to suit the diet. Makes things easier :-)

I agree with Clinquant (she's very wise). Don't let one woman make you doubt yourself. Keep going, you will find the right job for you. As for doing our heads in, I don't think anyone thinks that. This is your diary and you can go around in as many circles as you like and write exactly what's...

Priya, I hope you're not about because you're super busy? You know we're all here supporting you on, no matter what's happening :)

So another good day yesterday. Although as it was sunny again we were outside all day, so now I have even more cleaning to do! Speed cleaning it is :rolleyes: I've got a friend coming over today. We used to work and live in the same place years ago so got close then. As time has gone on we've...

Well done :) And don't knock it, it's 4.8lbs you won't see back if you stick to it. That does very nicely towards a stoke a month loss. Here's to another good week. Have a good day

These things happen, and I tend to agree with Steve, people are often jealous when they coerce you into eating. I've just had similar this morning "oh go on, one piece of cake won't hurt", ermm yes it will! At least you've drawn a line under it and jumped back on to plan, so that deserves a pat...

And another Homk! I'm ignoring my scales. Got obsessive before and gave up when they didn't move. Trying not to weigh until the end of May!

Good luck for your first weigh in tomorrow. Sure you'll do well. Looking forward to hearing in the morning :)

How are you getting on Abbey? I hope you've managed to enjoy the sunshine this weekend and put your mouthful of cake mix behind you and moved on. You'll get your confidence back in no time, stick with it :)

All the photos are lovely. Your hubster will love them. and yay to fresh fat!! Excellent news :)

Looks like another lovely day here. Have suntan lotions for today! Just put on a pair of cropped jeans which were tight last time I wore them, toady they're lovely and loose! Feeling good :D So inspired, I've taken my measurements (much to the bemusement of my girls) and I have lost 2.5...

Honk for me too. Lovely weather only reminds me of one thing..... Summer dresses! Need to feel confident in them this year, not worth cheating :-)

What a lovely day. How easy is it to drink 2-3 litres of water on a sunny day?! Sure I've hit 3 already. I'm not claiming this a non scale victory as I'm not sure I'm overly impressed about this one. I've had to go out and buy some new bras today.......new smaller bras!! After trying on every...

Gorgeous photo. Your girls are beautiful. What a lovely day for it too

The change in you is massive. You can definitely see the 2 stones that you've lost! Looking gaw-juss and really confident now. Just imaging what you're going to look like when you feel super confident too. Fab-u-lous darr-ling!! :D

Oh so nearly there. Stick with it.....I know you will Hope you have a lovely day. Enjoy the sun and photo session. :)

Loving your positive attitude. happy sorting. Have a great day :)

Stop weighing daily!! You don't do yourself any favours. Look at how stressed you were earlier. It will go down, weighing again and again will not make it happen sooner. I sound like I'm preaching, but I'm not, I'm talking from experience. I got obsessed with daily weighing and ended up...

Honk for today too! :)

Sounds lovely! Have you had that all in one sitting? Think I'd be stuffed. Trifle sound yummy though. Might be copying that idea :)

Oops! Honk for yesterday! :rolleyes: Going strong today too, be back later!

You do indeed rock! You're doing great. We are all behind you to break this barrier. You can do it! Then onto the next ;)

Plodding on nicely thank you :) Super busy with work. I came on last night replied to a few threads and then forgot about my own little diary. I actually I'm feeling super sorted with the diet. I just feel like I have clicked with it really well this time. Don't feel deprived or anything...

I second what Kira has said. It shouldn't matter what combinations of packs you do as long as you stick to plan. Don't be too harsh on yourself, this diet it tough enough going without setting yourself extra tough aims of shakes only. Hats off to anyone who can do that, personally I need to...

No.......Step away from the scales!! ;) You will definitely loose weight following the diet to the word, milk and veg or not, low carb meals or shakes only, or whatever combination. Trust the diet. (I say this like I haven't driven myself insane by weighing everyday - which obviously I have...

Honk! x

I've had a good day food wise. I'm aware I might be in the minority but I love the the rhubarb and custard shake, they're definitely going on my next order. But my goodness I've a bad headache today! :( I'm sure I've drunk enough water today too. I thought it was weather related at first...

You look lovely :)

I had mine taken out at 24. All I'm saying is you don't recover very well as an adult. Kids seem to bounce back from it. I'm really glad I've had them taken out as tonsillitis is no fun, but I wouldn't rush to have it done again (I know it's not possible, you know what I mean though lol) hope...

I have shoe envy! ;) I don't think I have the wardrobe space to have a pair of shoes for every week of the year. I might have to see how many I can get in though - it's always good to find another goal haha! The only soups I have ever got on with are the chicken and chicken noodle (which is my...

Honk! x

Oh dear, not feeling hungry is great however, as I was so busy at work today I've managed to miss lunch! :eek: I've had my tea, but still have 2 packs to fit in! Feels a bit daunting as I'm still not hungry! Must try harder not to miss my packs! on the plus side, feeling great :)

That's great. Well done. Looking good to get a stone next week. Just shows you everyone is different

Your exercise routine looks good. How are you getting on? Hope you're having a good day

Your list is great. And I love you idea of nice rewards for every week on plan. Excellent stuff to keep you motivated. I might have to copy that one, I could do with filling my kindle up a bit more :) I've got a voucher for my local beauty place and have decided I am going to book myself in for...

START WEIGHT (2 Week Challenge - 11/05/14) Beverley75 - 14st 13lbs CrazyDiamond - 11st 7.4lbs MinnieMel 12st 4lbs Lou_G 11'9.6'' Ni79 12.1 st Jo1989 12st 12lb Clinquant 14st 9lb Aaliegha Frau frau 15st 5 Slim-Kat 10st 1lb Beelishy - 15st 7.8lb

Sorry, late one... Honk for yesterday also weighed this morning for challenge 10 st 1 lbs hoping for 9s by the end of challenge :)

Thanks. I agree. If I'm honest although I have a goal weight in mind, I actually have a goal pair of jeans I want to fit into. If that happens to leave me above my goal weight then so be it, I'll still be over the moon :)

I've just had a bowlful of heaven.... Well ok a vanilla shake mixed with fage yogurt, but it's like cheesecake without the base! Really hit the spot. And oh so filling. Worth missing the milk in my coffee for.

Thank you Clinquant I think this site is great

So after a small 'non-scale' victory today I thought I really should start a diary of my own. A little about me. I'm Kat and I'm here to shift my post baby weight. Sounds honourable doesn't it? Not just as good when I tell you my babies are 4 and 2!! Sleep deprivation has a lot to answer for...

But just think, had you not even started this journey you would be going 2 stones heavier than you are now. Spin it on it's head and look at the positives :) And 7 weeks is ages! Even if you only lose one pound a week, that's half a stone lighter than you are now. 2 pounds a week is a stone. A...

Can I join in? Been 100% so far today...

Sounds exciting! Hope you have a good time. You're not a wimp, you're jumping at an exciting opportunity for a quick trip away with your girls ;) Happy packing (that's the worst bit)!

Asparagus(tips only) and mushrooms are fine. Hope your low carb will mean you sail the first few days. I was ok, just a little dizzy on about day 3. Just had more to drink and I was fine. I think. Some recommend adding salt to packs if that happens. good luck, sure you'll do great :)

Morning, I've been reading your diary (which has taken a while) and I think it's great you've found what works for you. You're an inspiration. You might not have had it all easy but your determination to stick with it is great. Im on week 3 and hoping to loose another 1.5-2 stones. I'd like...

That's a great attitude to have. I'm trying to put off weighing until the end of May..........if I can wait that long!

Hi, I've been reading your diary, you're doing really well. Don't doubt yourself, you can do this. I'm only small like you and feel like every addition pound shows. My goal is probably the same as yours, although I'm hoping to have made a difference for a night out at the end of June. 2 stone...

Do you use the meal planner on the s&s website? You could see if you can log something similar on a lifestyle day to see what the calories/carbs come to. might help to keep you focused too. I find it helps me :)

Hi, well done on your journey so far. I think you look great already! I'm sure once you get into the swing of things again you'll get to a weight you're comfortable with quickly. I'm on week 3 and loving it. I feel great and although I've not weighed since week one (lost 8lbs) I can really...

Hi there, it seems a bit quiet on here at the moment. I tend to read more then post, but thought I'd say hi. I've been on plan for 3 weeks now. I lost 8lbs the first week and haven't weighed since, I'm trying to trust in the diet. I can obsess if I weigh too often. As for which plan. I tend...

Just been catching up a bit, not been on as both DD's are sick! So sorry to hear about your break in! How awful. But well done on another lb, now there's focus for you. You're an inspiration xx

Hi, not been on in a few days, my 2 little girls have been sick so not had the time. But saw this and wanted to say congratulations!!!! Oh and glad you're doing well with diet too. I'm having an off week, been far too tired (poor excuse I know) I'm hoping to have STS So have you got a date in...

Well done on everyone's loss this week. Spangle - I hope you feel better soon. Only 0.5 lb off this week for me, shame I couldn't do 1lb as I then would've lost half a stone :rolleyes: But hey it's a target for this week I suppose x

Honk! :-) x

I'm afraid I'm a little like this too. It doesn't help ww stuff seems so low on points, just another couldn't hurt could it? :o So my solution has been to not have anything in like that at all. I'm going to treat myself to a real bar of chocolate after each weigh in - if I loose that is ;)...

Well done on your great loss and :happy096: massive congratulations on your getting lower than your pre-pregnancy weight. I've still half a stone to go before I reach that goal :(, and then there's another half stone before I reach my pre-pre pregnancy weight - the half stone I never shifted...

Oh no, that's not good, sorry you're feeling ill. Hope you get better soon :) x

Well done that's great :D. Just think you'll definitely get the next stone next week...great motivation for the week ;) x

Well done that's great, you should be very happy with that :D x

2.5lbs is great well done! :D Just think 2 more weeks like that and you've lost half a stone!! Ha that makes it sound so easy.... Good luck with this week, look forward to reading your diary xx

Hey, Glad you had a good night out. And at least you weren't 'bad' on the drink AND the food front, that's a positive :D. And never mind about the galaxy caramel - as long as you enjoyed it at the time. Hangover cravings can be the worst. You're taking the right attitude - new day, new...

Honk :-) x

Yay, well done! :D I hoped you'd do great. Been looking out for your post. Keep it up, here's hoping we both have a great second week too :) xx

I totally agree with Boofle, STS is far better than a gain. Sure you'll see a loss next week Carly :) x

This evening I'm going to really, really enjoy an orange chunky kit-kat and a nice glass of rose wine :D What can I say, I've taken advice from on here and am indulging in some of my weeklies x

Honk :-) x

That's great. Nice to know what you're doing is working. Well done on your loss. I haven't told anyone, apart from my OH, yet. I don't really think it's anyone's business and like you say, no pressure that way. I'd definitely like to get my head into it a bit more before it becomes common...

I know what you mean. I feel like I should be having nice things all day :rolleyes: Normally we would just nibble on fatty, sweet treats all day then have either a throw in the oven tea, or a take away. Goodness knows how many points that would be :eek: Today however, I've promised...

Well done on avoiding eating. Great motivation. Was your soup nice? x

I've lost 6lbs this week - yay! :D So have met my Feb challenge already :o I didn't expect to do so well in week one really. I'm hoping I can loose another 1lb a week until the end of Feb, so should really up my goal to 9lbs.....oo that sounds a lot, lets see what I can do x

In the words of my 2 year old - "wow-wee"!! I've lost 6lbs!! :D:eek::D Only week 1, but am very impressed. Loving WW right now. I've never had such a good first week weight loss, I only every lost 2lbs on SW and RC. This is great, definitely the motivation I need to keep going next week :D xx

Oh dear, well stay positive your weight can fluctuate day by day, really we should only get weighed once a week (I include myself in that as I can be terrible at hopping on the scales :o lol) blonde_sue - thanks for the information, great to know. And well done on your loss :) I think I've...

Honk - 1 week - can't wait to weigh in in the morning! :-) x

I'm only on week one, so no direct experience, but similarly have only use one of my weeklies as I've not been hungry and have earned a few activity points (only a few as I've a sprained ankle). But I'm still hoping for a loss - weigh in tomorrow. But why don't you think it's looking good...

Just been reading your diary for inspiration, love your honesty. You're doing really well, keep going x

Honk! :-) x

Totally agree with above post - well said. Keep it up, you could regret it otherwise. Good luck x

Sorry that's what I meant by putting 'as much' - didn't explain myself very well :o x

Haha Kimboowee - tag team I like it, I could say the same about my 2. Millimoo, well done on the exercise points. And staying motivated x

Have you checked out Simply filling? I know there are some questions about it and apparently leaders are not too supportive of pushing it as a diet (I do it on-line so no advice from a leader to give sorry) But, I'm sure you can have 'as much' lean meat as you want on that. There's some good...

That's great, nice to hear. Keep it up! :-) x

Sorry you're feeling poorly. As previous post says, you can loose weight without exercise. I'm unable to exercise much this week either as I've stupidly sprained my ankle. But I'm giving the diet my all and hoping for the best. If you stay positive, you're more likely to stick 100% to the...

There are definitely ww cake bars in the shops, they might be good too (I'm sure someone more experienced than me will know). If the ice-creams are good I'll get some of those in too- another weakness of mine - you can see where I've been going wrong can't you? haha! x

Ooh I'd love it if there was, I love cake. However, since my love for cake is one of the reasons I'm doing ww and because I'm only on week one I've opted just to avoid it totally for now. What about a fat less sponge? Sorry don't know how to work out points yet.

I want to say 'stay away from the scales' - but I'm just as bad I'm afraid! I love torturing myself! I'd like to say I'll stay off them until the weekend (my wi) but I'd be telling porkies. My scales will be tempting me in the morning like they always do!

Well done :-)

Honk

Hi Milliemoo, Congratulations on the weight loss so far, you're doing great! I've read your diary and I totally feel your pain with the sleep deprivation. I have a 4 month old DD who wakes twice a night - and even worse a 2 year old DD who wakes at least twice too :o It might not be so...

Hello and good luck x

How lovely, something fab to aim for. You can do it x

Good luck. If your willpower starts to go, come on here!! Get some inspiration and tips....if nothing else I'm sure someone will be around to tell you not to give up x

Well done on the great weight loss, that's fab

Hello and good luck :-)

Yes I'm hoping my body will get used to it pretty quickly. It's definitely helped with hunger pangs today I'm sure :)

our bathroom is downstairs, but I suppose I could just run up and down the stairs anyway lol! Haha, you could, but just make sure you're not too desperate first :eek:

Aww, sorry you're not feeling well. Totally not the same, but might give you that warm feeling and fill you up at least, how about some porridge with golden syrup? I like porridge if I'm feeling under the weather....well obviously I prefer chocolate, but when I've got my diet head on it works!?

That's a good idea. I've not got a list going yet, but I'm aiming for 6lbs (at least) loss in February, eating tea before 7pm and drinking 2 litres of water a day. I've managed both the latter two today, and unintentionally added another - jog up and down the stairs at least 10 times...

A fabulous bakin' boys Belgian chocolate flapjacks is 7pp. Don't know if that's similar enough for you? They're 50g ones apparently

Honk :-)

Try having a big drink. It can sometimes put off my cravings x

Must admit Most Haunted is as far as my experience goes. Well unless you count the village ghost walk on Halloween haha!

Very similar here... Porridge oats, (cooked with water) with fat free yoghurt and any fruit I have around - 5pp Good post, always good to get other ideas

Good luck! I'm new too, on day 3. I've always been a SW girl, but thought I needed a change. I'm finding it OK so far, I'm sure you will too x

I'm going for a weekend wi, Saturday so that I can have a little treat Saturday night if I do well (only week 1 so we'll see). Personally I think it's the best day for me, to help keep me motivated during the week. Just referring back to your original post, I know it's a bit of a cliché but...

I'm glad someone asked about the ghost hunting, I was meaning too last night but my LO woke up before I got chance..... That sounds interesting

Stay away from the bread bin!! Think I've planned for a points week this week, feeling organised and everything. I'll maybe give it a go next week. I've been having a potter around the site and found a few tips. I didn't realise you can just do a day or 2 a week as well. That might work for...

That's great Foodiegal, brilliant loss! And good to know it's still possible to enjoy a good night out while dieting. I hope your head recovers soon lol. 40 points worth of booze does sound impressive though ;-) x

That's brilliant, well done x

Thank you both. I'll give both ways a try. Think I'll try aiming to use them for the 1st couple of weeks and see how I do. Well done on your losses so far. I hope I can be as successful x

Thank you :) x

Hello Everyone, I'm new to Weight Watchers and looking forward to getting going :D I'm hoping that in a few weeks I'll get my head around all this points counting. But before I get going, I just have a couple of questions from those in the know.... Has anyone had success with simply...

Can I join please? I'm new to weight watchers, but would love to set myself a challenge straight away. :D I would try and copy the list and add myself to it, but this is only my second post so I'm worried I'll mess it up.....sorry to be a whimp! :o I'd like to loose 6lbs Thanks

Hi, I've come to join the fun. :D I joined this site over a year ago and although I did read lots of posts for inspiration I never got around to posting......or loosing much weight! :break_diet: Well since then I've had my second baby :family2: and now, although very sleep deprived, is my...
