I'm sure after the 11th Dec(works christmas do = very boozy) I will be the same

It was really, although I have now had my first drink of wine since August, we'll see if it reflects on the scales this week!

Yes something like that!! Have been so busy with everything but I'm back now. Weigh in last Friday and lost 1lb. Not going to even attempt writing down what I have eaten since I last came on here although it has been healthy. Mon 29 Nov B- cornflakes, s.s milk L- chicken stirfry with...

Safe driving everyone, really bad out there

great weight loss x

oops, will be taking it steady. Might have to have a practise before hand ;)

huge hugs, when I had 2-3 weeks to go I was feeling exactly how you are now. I was snapping at my lovely husband and also little girl and try as I did, couldn't stop myself, which really got to me :cry:. I made it through another week and towards the end of that week knew I had to refeed...

thank you - I think I'll have to have one or two before then just to practise ;), used to be a big drinker on nights out

ohh love hula hoops

well done on losing 3lbs

Yeah it's for my christmas do on the 11th, gonna need a tan first though. Not even thought about shoes just yet any ideas!?!

It was a real shocked at the size of the meal that came out and it was only a salad! I use a bag of tesco own frozen mixed veg, crumble a veg stock cube in and add curry powder (could add anything you fancy) boil it up and then blitz. Thurs 18 Nov B - 30g cornflakes, s.s milk L- garlic and...

good luck with your journey x

Hope you feel better soon, not easy to stay on the straight and narrow if you feel ill x

Hope you have a nice relaxing weekend x

I used to love Jazzies and frazzles not had them in years though!

I make a lovely soup but unsure wether it would be free on points but I boil a bag of frozen mixed veg add curry powder and then blitz in the blender

Size10 it certainly does, I have set myself a weight limit of 11st and I will be extremly happy if I can stay below this. Hubby has taken me to Meadowhall hell tonight and have bought a slinky short dress for my christmas do - it is so different for me, just need a tan and shoes to go with it...

Good for you size 10, I have yet to venture to a buffet or even out for a meal. I'm feeling slightly more confident about it though

Sorry to hear your news x :hug99:

Glad maisey is getting better x good luck for your weigh in tomorrow

well done on resisting x This diet is very hard at times but well worth the effort.

Well done on sts and on the tournament, it was freezing here too this morning but at least it was sunny!

Lol - I must admit it doesn't taste too nice from the shaker but needs must when I was at work!! Thank you - you have done fantastic too x

Thank you, thought I'd add some before and after pictures (unable to do them to my signature for some reason) Mon 15 Nov B - 30g Cornflakes, s.s milk L - small ham salad with balsamic vinegar * banana & satsuma D - Chicken soup and slice of bread, shape zero yogurt

I love cheese - if I started a lot would be consumed!! Just a tip if ordering on the internet - use a cashback site like quidco - there is another one but can't remember what it's called!

When I did refeed - they said they couldn't sell the shakes in smaller quantaties, so still had to buy 21 shakes

Congratulations, how did you get on with the shake? Also regarding muscle and weight - when I began exercising, 2 weeks before re-feed, I found that I lost a touch more so fingers crossed for you x

Thank you size 10, erm appetite wise sometimes I'm hungry and ready for my lunch etc and others I'm not. I have to be careful not to fall back into old habits of not eating at mealtimes and then pigging out an hour or so before tea. Today I was out and called at sainsburys to grab a...

Sun 14 Nov B - 30g cornflakes and s.s milk L - Cheese and spring onion sandwich (sainsbury's, was out shopping) * Grapes D - Homemade fish supper. River cobbler, s.w. healthy chips and mushy peas with 1/2 slice of bread exercise - Jillian Michaels 30 day shred dvd - level 1

I'm sure it would be ok x

Mine has been to maintain smaller portions and also keep up with the water

Awwww, would love to have a dog to take for walks etc.

Sorry, not too sure - still having my coffee black x

Glad you had a good time

Hope you enjoyed your celebration meal (and the wine!)

If the soda bread is that nice, I'm not going to be trying it if I can help it ;)

Thank you and also for the good ideas on eating out. Sat 13 Nov B - 1 weetabix, s.s milk with strawberries and blueberries L - 4 crackerbread with light philadelphia (garlic & herb) D - beans and sprinkle of cheese on toast * bowl of grapes, blueberries and strawberries

I could only drink them ice cold, could you crush ice then add it to the water.

Well done, enjoy your 2 meals a day x

You can do it, I had the exact feelings but on day 2 - the next day I was fine. I'm sure you'll be much better tomorrow x

I wouldn't have been able to exercise without the shake, I'd have been dizzy quite quickly. Have you got one of the shakers?

well done on your running - something I'd never manage in a million years!!

Will definately keep that feeling in mind. I have also set myself an upper weight limit and not allow myself above that. I have weighed myself today instead of going to the pharmasist and have lost 2lbs :D Fri 12 Nov B - 1 weetabix, s.s milk * mini homemade bun L - lf cottage cheese &...

good luck in your training x

The dress is gorgeous, it's great when you think it will be too small and then try something on and there is still room to breathe x

Glad you all found it after my garbbled instructions!! Ok, how long did it take you to be comfortable with eating again, hubby is wanting to go out for a meal but feel so scared of doing it and being tempted by the 'wrong' things like before! Have bought some new clothes today - all in a...

well done on eating out, a good idea on splitting the meal- eating out is a thought that is really scaring me

Hi, how have you done today x

No problem Jan Still finding food daunting which is why I seem to be sticking with the same things, well that and perhaps cooking too much! Do you still go to the chemist and get weighed, if not when did you all stop and trust yourselves on your own scales!?!

Hi, how are you doing?

oh my goodness Mary have just looked at your pictures - you have done fantastic x

Alcohol was my downfall before losing the weight and I'm determined not to go down that track again (until christmas!!;)) To cross out a word you need to be in the advanced bit, type the word and then highlight it and click on the S button which is the 3rd one in from the right on the second...

well done for not being tempted by the other nice things in there!!

well done, ironically when on TFR I found I was actually cooking more!!

Thank you Missy - hope you do well too. Jan - I definately need to tone up ;) Another hard crap day at work (can't wait for everything to be resolved!) and the thought of alcohol came to mind on the way home but drove straight past the shop :D Tues 9 Nov B - 30g cornflakes L - small dish of...

Hi, I'm another newbie on the maintanence side of things, trying to be really good x

you have done sooooo well, hoping and praying I can do the same. Well done your such an inspiration

Hi and welcome, this is the place to be when you need motivation. I really struggled on day 2 but so glad I didn't give up. It will be worth it x

Hi, well done on your training and your year's anniversary - a long way off for me. Can I ask what is soda bread?

ooohhh lovely, how fab to be semi Gok'd x

Thank you - still quite scared about being let loose in the world of food again!! I found it easier being at work today. B - 1 weetabix L - Small salad with a slice of ham and balsamic vinegar D - Chicken stirfry in black bean sauce with rice noodles, shape zero yoghurt Snack - banana...

Thank you - I'm struggling to eat large amounts so though I would have half and then will have the rest tonight. I definately need to remember to carry on with the drinking (water!!!)as I don't think I have drank enough the last couple of days. Today has been slightly bad - children's...

well done - on both counts ;)

Thank you - yes going to go on maintenance although going to try and loose a touch more. It feels really strange being 'let loose' in the world of food again!

I get weighed in on a Friday - can't believe I have lost 3lbs.

We are allowed squash now but not sure about chewing gum. Well done on your weight loss this week x

Hi, I have completed my weeks re-feed and thought I'd join you over here to keep a diary on what I'm eating and how I'm doing. My start weight was 13st 10lbs, my finishing weight on LT was 11st 2lb and I have lost a further 3lbs on refeeding. My weight now is 10st 13lbs - never thought I'd be...

I am aching so much today, I was a bit naughty yesterday but will be back on track today without fail! Also as I have now done the re-feed will go across to maintenance eek! Fri 5 Nov B choc LT shake L turkey and cherry tomato sandwich D small jacket with chilli snacks - 2 small peices of...

No need to worry - have been busy at home and work. Chicken salad is becoming tiresome. Thurs 4 Nov B - LT chocolate L - ham and cottage cheese sandwich, 1/2 apple D - ham salad with jacket potato snacks - banana Exercise - gym induction & 15 mins on bike, 1hour of legs tums and bums = ouch!

It's hard with the choices, glad your doing well. I'm still drinking black coffee and quite enjoying it unless one particular work collegue makes it and you could literally stand the spoon up in it - yuk!

what an amazing difference!!

welcome, day 2 was awful for me and nearly gave up!!

Ok - this diet has been the best thing ever to happen to me. I have had a lot of c**p thrown at me at work which has left me feeling upset and stressed, before this diet as soon as I had put Jessica to bed I would of had the best part of a bottle of wine and chocolate both last night and...

Missy - I was so scared of refeeding, I'm refeeding for life and going to try losing either on my own or joining slimming world. Sorry to hear your having troubles with your job - I think if there is a possibility of returning to tfr I would stick with the protein days and avoid carbs.

Hi, how you doing - I have had problems in that area too :o

well done on your loss this week

Sorry to hear about your job x I started the refeed on saturday - good luck with yours

I have had a gorgeous tea tonight! Mon 1 Nov B- LT Vanilla with added coffee L- Tiny salad with chicken and herbs D - Small fish, broccoli, peas and 4oz jacket potato with plain yogurt and tarragon sprinked on potato and the fish - couldn't eat it all 1 hour of areobics When is it ok to...

Hi, I've gotten on quite well. Really enjoyed my tea tonight. With the two meals a day it has been a struggle but you wouldn't believe the size of the meals I have been having especially at lunchtime!!! Your dog will have to go on a diet if you keep feeding him!! Do you think cottage...

Hi, I don't think you have to weigh fish, no weight given on my re-feed sheet. As for the lime juice I can't see any difference between that and lemon juice - I would go for it. Do you know if we are allowed garlic? I was going to cook the chicken with it tonight - opted for italian...

balsamic is gorgeous! I had 1/2 a normal size tin - a lot ligher to eat than the chicken but really yummy x

I am following the re-feed sheet as I'm really not enjoying the shakes anymore. Sun 30 Oct B - LT vanilla with added coffee L- extra small salad with tuna and balsamic vinegar D - Salad with chicken cooked with italian mixed herbs, salt and pepper (tbh I could only manage about 2 1/2 oz of...

how have you gotten on today? x

Hi Amanda - you've had a fantastic weightloss, how have you found tonight? So I've had Sat 30 Oct B - LT L - LT D - Small salad with tuna and balsamic viniger and now I am full

Amanda - I'm looking forward to tea but quite scared too! Thanks Su

Hi, I have been 100% on TFR for 9 weeks and now is the time to re-feed :eek: How much tuna can I have, would half a tin be ok or is that too much? Also can I have pickled beetroot/onions and sweetcorn or should that be left until later in the process. Thanks

Thank you all, I have had a really tough week and although I set a personal goal to refeed next week, I feel I am really ready for this, so today is my first day of refeeding :eek:.

fantastic weight loss, well done x

ok, so I've been for weigh in and have lost 5lb :D. Pharmasist wasn't very helpful (usual one wasn't there) so despite having wobbles for the last couple of days I will stick to it for the next week and definately start refeed next week!

welcome, I personally found day 2 terrible for headaches and hunger but from there until now I have been ok. Good luck on your journey

When I go for my weigh in today to start the re-feed, I have struggled this week and don't want to start thinking 'what if I had'. I was going to begin next week and then join slimming world just bringing it a week forward. I am very happy with where I am at the moment and never thought I'd...

Thank you, will have a look for local classes. Slightly terrified of eating again!!

I have been 100% since starting and have lost 2st 4lb - due to weigh in on Friday.

Hi, I am looking at maintaining my current weight loss by joining slimming world and am after advice. How easy is the programme to follow and to work out syns in food/reciepes? Any advice on following the programme? Cheers Gemma

good luck with which ever route you decide, I didn't plan to go on TFR at all had heard and read all about it a while ago. I just thought at work one day I've had enough - drove to the chemist and never looked back. I have found that I am cooking more now (for my husband and little one) than I...

Well done on getting through day 1. I'venot tried the soup so can not comment on the saltyness. I only really like the chocolate shake on it's own, I add coffee to the vanilla and that makes it a lot better. Last night I follwed a suggestion I read on here and made the chocolate up with...

Thankyou all for your advice, it's something I'm not really looking forward to as on TFR there has been no element of straying! Waterworks - going to google Atkins now

good luck kezzerbelle, it is such a hard diet and I have been wavering lately too x

Thanks Su, initially I said I'd do it for 4 weeks to kickstart me into dieting!. I'm thinking I need structure of getting weighed in front of someone to keep it off. Hopefully I could get to be a gold member quite quickly and not have to pay. Good luck on the rest of your journey too x

Good luck for the weigh in, sorry you weren't well. It does sound like a reaction to the medication - I felt like that with throwing up and the other when I was prescribed tramadol, completly wiped me out for 2 days!

well done on your weight loss and good luck on your journey x

well done on resisting, it will be worth it x

Hi, Week 8 weigh in and have lost 5lbs, this means I have now lost 2st 4lbs which is roughly what my little one weighs and she feels soooooo heavy!!!! I'm feeling so much better and have even been to areobics tonight. I have around 12lb left to loose and thoughts are turning to refeeding...

congratulations

Well done x

You look amazing, congratulations on the weight loss and marriage x how have you found keeping the weight off?

thank you, was well pleased I'd managed it x

Thank you, usually it's a Thursday morning but had to get weighed Wednesday morning last week due to work. Thursday's can be a rush with school drop off and then getting to work so may change it to a friday morning as I only work 4 days!

Good luck in your journey, for me personally I wouldn't be able to restart after stopping due to how I felt in the first week!!

and still 100%!!! It has been extremley hard at times, mainly in the resturant last night when the waiter kept asking am I sure I didn't want anything - of course I b****y wanted the beef in a red wine reduced sauce with fine green beans and the sticky toffee pudding, :banghead: but politely...

well done x

awww that's lovely, reading your post I have realised I am 4 pound off losing the weight of my little girl!!

well done x

People can be nasty :hug99: I read somewhere 'I can loose weight but you will always be ugly' but I suppose you can always replace that with something else!!

foul, foul, foul lol

Hi, It definately does get easier, I had these kind of feelings on Day 2 and not felt them since - try and stick at it, it does get easier. Do you like coffee - I add some coffee to the vanilla ones (that's the only way I like it) but my pharmacist has said if I don't like any flavours they...

Good luck for tomorrow x

Thank you for your answers, it seems to be after I have had my last shake and if I have my lunchtime one at 4pm ish and then the last one at 8ish! Otherwise I'm ok, I know in the ideal situation would be to have them at earlier times but sometimes unable to due to work and travelling. Can't...

Does anyone else suffer with heartburn whilst on TFR, I am suffering quite badly in an evening maybe 3-4 times a week. Is there anything that I can take for it?

seriously, don't do it. I tried both last week and ended up throwing them in the bin after a small bite of each!!

well done and good luck on your journey

It is a hard diet. I found day 2 to be horrendous and from there it has been a lot easier. Although I'm on week 3 now the last couple of days I've felt hungry which I haven't had since day 2!

I'm 29 and have always been very unhappy with the way I look, after trying various diets to no avail I decided to try this as I'm determind now not to be unhappy for my birthday next year!!

It is disappointing isn't it? I bet you'll find you will lose a larger amount at your next weigh in x

Well done Sandra! I think my problem is that over the last couple of days I have been really struggling with hunger and having no energy!!

Thank you for the advice and experience about re-starting, I was/am leaning towards eating that weekend as I'm missing family meals. But this diet is working for me where no other has and if I keep this at the front of my mind I'm sure I can get through it (this is said before sitting at a...

Hi, I'm doing ok not seeing big losses but a loss is a loss. My dilema is that I go away for a long weekend on 15th Oct with my husband and little one to a b&b hotel. I was only planning on doing tfr for 4 weeks initailly then to eat sensibly after refeeding to loose the rest but I'm loving...

Thank you for your lovely comments

well done on the weight loss, that's the way to think about it. I was hugely disappointed with my first weigh in and very nearly gave in but I didn't and this week it seems to have evened itself out. Perhaps it will catch up next week?

Sorry to hear about the surgery BUT DON'T DO IT, you will feel even worse afterwards x

Evening reception went well - not one piece of food/slurp of alcohol passed my mouth. It was hard, very hard especially once I saw the types of food on the hot buffet but I did it!! Sandra - ouch about the car and well done regarding food at the funeral. Possibly too much info but was unable...

Hubby says I have bad breath, does anyone else have a whiteish coloured tongue?

Well, I've had my weigh in and have lost 6.5lbs, so that's 10 .5 in 2 weeks, that has really made my mind up - I am not going to eat!! Thank you for your lovely comments, Littleme thats a fab idea about chatting at different tables. Bring on the evening reception!

Thank you for the advice, some family know I'm on a 'diet' again but I've not gone into the details and will have the arguement that it's no good for you/once you start eating it will all just go back on anyway. Sandra it's a hot buffet and hopefully I won't be too self consious to dance, I...

well done on the weight loss

Hi, I'm on week 2 - second weigh in tomorrow (not looking forward to this, despite being 100% I don't feel as if I have lost anything) but I have an evening wedding reception to go to tomorrow. What did you do at occasions like this and what did you say to friends/family if they invited you out...

knee high boots and more fitted tops without worrying about the muffin top or my wobbly stomach!

Thank you all, Daisy - water drank, no problems with the loo!! and not totm Wamser - I didn't realise that's what you loose first Thunder-thighs - thank you , it was disappointing but have got my head around it now and my husband has reminded me that I usually loose weight 2 weeks behind...

Have been for my 1st weigh in and to be honest I'm feeling a bit disappointed. I have stuck to it 100% and have lost 3.8lb -I thought it may have been slightly higher :sigh: Any advice?

Hi thank you for your replies, well I managed to get through day 2 and now feeling much better on day 4. I have even managed to bake with my little girl!! Don't know how long I'll be on the programme for due to cash flow but if I can manage a month and loose a stone I can go from there x

Hi, day 3 was yesterday for me and it was a lot better, I really struggled on day 2 and there were throughts of stopping. Can honestly say that I feel much much better and coping really well x

Hi, good luck x

Thank you all, first time I've had to come back to this, made it through yesterday by going out and visiting people. Today is much much better. :thankyou:

Hi, good luck with it, I'm on day 2 so definately know what it's like to start x

Hi I'm new and really really struggling. I am on day 2 and have a bad headache and feel weak. I am desperate to loose weight but don't know how I'm going to do it :cry: Did any one start at a similar weight to me (13st 6lb - 189lbs) - how long did you do the programme for and what weight loss...
