Thank you very much :) Todayis day 10 - Friday 4th October. Had cereal and milk for brekkie using my healthy extra a and b choices. I had a naughty late lunch which cost me about ten syns but was more than worth it lol. Dnt intend to have any more syns today, having a slimming world fry up for...

I think some pills can help regulate it for you but I was on cerezette and like I said it took 6 months for it to regulate. I would ask your doctor the best pill to regulate them :) x

Hi, I now weigh Tuesday evenings since starting slimming world last week, tomorrow is my first weigh in and set myself a personal aim of 4 pounds this week so fingers crossed :) will update tomorrow evening eeeek! Good luck everyone!

Hi I was only diagnosed about a month ago so I'm still researching and learning a lot at moment. I am currently going through a referral for metaformin but not 100% clear on what it helps so can't help too much with that. I also get periods each month, was 30 day regular before I went on pill...

Day 2 - Thursday 26th sept. so far so good! Just been shopping to stock up on fresh chicken breasts etc all ready for the next few days. Breakfast - none, up too late again Lunch - no food so just had Pepperami (5.5 syns I think but 100%), small amount of whole milk (about 3.5 syns) and a...

So today I have my very first bootcamp workout! It was for an hour and although my hands hurt from doing press ups on concrete, my legs are painful, can't lift my arms up and shattered....I absolutely loved it! Felt so energised afterwards and really really proud of myself as pushed as hard as I...

Sorry it's been a while - I have had manic week with meetings at work and being off with sickness and horrendous headaches! This past week has been okay, not been on treadmill no where near as much as I should have and being ill has actually made me crave more junk food etc as was feeling sorry...

Yea I'm exactly like that...or I have a gain one week, completely throws me :( Thank you :) Well I had ONE pepperami (which is amazing for me haha) before I went to bed as giving myself a one a day limit to keep me sane. I would just crave it more if banned myself. So day 2 - Weds 3rd April and...

That's a fab idea about allocating a small treat to stop those evening munchies :) aww thank you, I am really determined this time! Fed up of being a fatty. I ended up not eating again till dinner which was late as other half working later shift then had to go food shopping :( so at 9pm finally...

Just read through your whole diary. Don't worry, everyone has up and down days :) Good luck with your WI tonight and please keep us updated!

Day 1 - Tuesday 2nd April Well actually the day has started off pretty well. Was super lazy so didnt get up till midday ha. Had a small lunch of potato waffles (2) and some chicken bites (bit naughty as in breadcrumbs but could have been worse) at around 1pm. Went into town with friend where we...

I have been off the wagon for a very long time after losing stone and a half! Have gained most back except a tiny 6 pounds and the scales stand at exactly 17 stone :( depressing! I get married in one year and 4 days and will NOT be a FAT bride EVER! I will dread looking over the photos from our...

I am in full lifestyle change mode now!! I refuse to be a fat bride! I have treated myself to a gorgeous motorised treadmill and aim to use it most days slowly building up because I am so unfit and do not want to injure myself lol. WATCH THIS SPACE :)

I am exactly the same, I really should get out of the habit of weighing everyday :(

Good thinking!! Don't know why I didn't think of that one :) Well...finally going on about doing it for months and months, I have treated myself to a motorised treadmill :) I have to do it most days, starting really low doing ten minutes a day then building up. OMG it shows how unfit I am...

I think I may have decided on investing a treadmill :) still thinking about it but think I would really get the use out of it. In the meantime, I think I am going to get up early in the morning every morning because I have 14 and a half months before I am a bride and don't want to be a fat bride...

Just wanted to say wow! You have done so well, I had never heard of this before either but seems like it really works, keep up the good work!!

Thank you for your comments. I don't know what diet I am doing tbh, I keep changing my mind so I am just cutting down at moment until I decide on one properly - no good doing it half heartedly lol. Yea just dance is great fun :) I didn't think of a bike, might look into that! Wanted a treadmill...

Edited signature and statistics after I weighed myself on the scales I would be using each month. I can't seem to get into the exercise side of things but don't think it helped that I started new job this week and Im struggling to keep up with it all! Overload! I really, really, really don't...

Oh dear, what a day! Haven't exactly eaten loads but what I have chosen to eat hasn't been very good lol. What do others do for exercise? I'm struggling to find something I enjoy n that is cheap! Might start doing evening walks with the other half x

Thank you both for your lovely comments! I vaguely tried slimming world a couple of years ago but as I was alone, I went to one session and felt alone and freaked out by whole thing that I never went back :( shame really because I have heard such good things. How you finding it? Wow, you have...

Just wanted to wish you good luck on your weight loss journey. Shame I am not skinny enough to fit in your suitcase, love Egypt, it's amazing!

I just wanted to wish you luck! I am getting married next April and really worried about looking like a whale in the pictures. You can do this, just stay determined and focused on the weight loss :)

I am back once again to begin a new, fresh weigh loss journey! I managed to lose about stone and a half a while back and kept it off until I recently lost my job and obviously the usual massive food eating over Christmas. I need to do something this time because me and my other half of 6 years...

Thank you, I am very excited!! Well I am back and ready to resume my weight loss journey after few months off. I weighed on my normal scales today as my starting point and I'm actually down to 16 stone 1 pounds so managed to keep the weight off for months and months!!

Thank you and good luck on your weight loss journey! :) off on holiday in couple of weeks so dreading il overload on the chips n fudge etc!! :(

Very excited to finally have set a date after nearly 3 and a half years being engaged :) I can't stop talking about it to everyone but tbh, I really don't want to be a fat bride weighing in at 16 stone 3 ish (will officially weigh n update when I do it this week), although I have already got...

Very very excited as me and the fiance have finally set a wedding date after being engaged for nearly 3 and a half years :) Currently roughly 16 stone 3 pounds, I was 17 stone 6 this time last year, very slowly got down to 16 stone 3 and have managed to maintain it but I do not want to be a 16...

Forgot to mention, me and fiancé have booked holiday abroad in feb so really wanna lose a bit more in time for this xx

Hi, Thank you for your comment, I am always open to opinions and advice! However I am a firm believer in different diets work for different people and everyone's bodies are different. I was recommend a high carb by my doctor few years ago and I have never seen results like it before and it...

I haven't given up - I am stuck in a rut but haven't gained any weight which is a bonus x

Sorry, I have got terrible at updating on here but rest assured I am still on my weight loss journey - slow and steady wins the race :D I haven't weighed for few weeks due to manic time with studying and doing extra hours at work etc but managed to weigh today where I am another 2 pounds down...

Today has been okay so far ish! Didn't have brekkie as usual and had 2 fish finger rolls for lunch containing 4 fish fingers all together without butter and that's all :) would really love to lose 4 pounds so I get into the 15s because that would be super exciting!! :)

Well done!! You are def heading in the right direction :) just wanted to wish you good luck on your weight loss journey x

Thank you both of you, I am sooo happy. I am planning to join up to the gym which is just across the road from my work and is a 24/7 gym! Honestly super excited and can't wait to get back into the gym, have missed it. I am joining at the end of the month after payday to give me the extra boast I...

Thank you Amyz :) yea that is the most recent post lol. I see you are doing really well, well done!! :) I shockingly lost 3 pounds this week but not doing slimming world because decided to keep at what I was doing but just upping the exercise etc :D So yea... ​Sat 12th May - 3 pounds down...

Sorry I have been away for so long! I am currently back up to 16 stone 6 but means I am still a stone down woo hoo. I am determined this time to lose weight for good, hoping to follow the slimming world at home without going to the meetings as I have the books as I have been to one meeting...

Sorry it's been so long! Everything has been manic with work, sorting new house etc! I have literally hovered around 16 stone 4 so hasn't been too bad. I am weighing in this afternoon though so will update you all later :)

Thankyou! :) Hope you are all having a good week! Didn't have the best day yesterday, ate quite a lot of naughty food but now got 6 days to be good so I can have a good loss next week!

Lost a pound but very pleased with that! Was dreading gaining so I was no longer past the losing a stone mark! Hoping to lose a stone by end of April as a mini goal which is 8 weeks away so think that is realistic setting goal of roughly 2 pounds a week :)

Hope everyone is having a good week! I have been on soft play at work for past couple of days which is always good for weight loss :). Food hasn't been great but hasn't been bad either so can't really complain. Will hopefully be weighing in tomorrow so will update you all then :)

Thanks Linz :) it's definitely a good motivator! You seem to be doing fab too, well done :D. Had a little downfall last night resulting in stuffing down 4 chocolate eclaires eeeeek :P not very good but have just moved on from that. Today I have had: B- Nothing, L- 2 turkey rolls and mini...

Thankyou :D very pleased with myself! I am having good day so far, eaten quite alot of food but nothing too naughty :P also had a good run around on the soft play today :) haha playing tag and hide and seek! Food plan for tomorrow: B - nothing L - chicken sandwich with 2 slices of bread D -...

Thankyou for the lovely encouraging words! Well I am super excited to announce I lost 4 pounds this week!!!!!! :D :D :D I can not explain how shocked I was! Very happy though! It may have taken nearly 5 months but I have smashed that stone mark woooo hooooo! No longer on the shake, haven't...

well today is the day I am finally weighing in! Haven't had the best of weeks though which have consisted of naughty popcorn, double chocolate cookies, no exercise and a dominoes pizza yesterday ahhhh! Any loss would be lovely but really had my heart set on 3 pounds so I can finally hit the...

Sometimes feel like I am chitter chattering away to myself on her LOL! Didn't weigh today because my management course had a saturday session today of 6 hours :( glad to be home tbh and haven't been feeling too well so convinced I am coming down with a bug because so much is going around!

Today has been an odd day! Had no breakfast as per normal, yes yes not good for me I know but can't eat at that time, can't really eat before 4pm but force myself too as just don't feel hungry :(. Then had 2 cheese rolls for lunch as have ran out of shakes. Now usually I get home from work...

Thankyou for the lovely comments! Would love to lose at least 3 pounds this week to hit that amazing one stone mark. It may have taken since 2nd October but at least I am going in the right direction :) The new house is fab thanks Linz, don't think it has sunk in yet that it is actually our...

Although I haven't had the best eating week, including 2 takeaways and only one proper shake lunch...I have managed to lose 3 of those 5 pounds gained in just one week!!! :D I was so shocked but very happy. Planning to get back into diet properly this week and also try and step up the exercise

Hey guys sorry it's been so long! Nightmare with the moving, then no internet for week as was waiting for sky to be installed! Managed to weigh last saturday with a 5 pounds gain, not worried as obvisouly moving has been crazy and also having issues with work. House is fantastic and really...

Thanks Beanboy, we are so excited and we are only 21 so seems really weird at this age haha! Managed to get to boots today but weighed exactly the same, not too fussed as its been a hectic few days with packing etc so just happy it's not a gain lol

Didn't go to boots as just wanted to get home! What a long, dragging day on my course, just wanted to flop on the sofa haha! Will work hard this week to be able to get at least a pound loss next week :). Me and the partner are officially homeowners now and move on friday so I am sure the stress...

sorry for late reply. didn't end up going to boots so couldn't weigh. planning to weigh tomorrow after I have finished my course that's all day. So shall update then! :D

Well today is the day! Ahhhh. The non-digital scales look like I might have lost but not holding on to hope for when I go down to boots in a bit! Really want to lose at least 1 little pound so I can hit that amazing one stone mark!!

Ohmygod, been feeling so overly hungry this week for some reason! Was naughty at work today as big bosses treated everyone to fish and chips for lunch :) was super yummy though! Exercise hasn't really been stepped up as meant to this week however been on soft play a few times and also on welly...

Well today so far so good. Was good and had my shake and packet of quavers for lunch and that is all I have had so far today :) Can't have dinner just yet as waiting for the other half to hurry up and get home as me hungry! Exchange of contracts didn't happen so in a bit of a bad mood! Might...

Yeah, hard not to dwell on it but not going to make me lose the fight of weight loss now I have come so far! Thanks, it's been a lovely 3 day weekend for me. Goes way too fast though! Hope you are having a lovely weekend too x

Well...what can I say about today?! Oh dear!! Haha! Had the biggest roast ever then had seconds...then had chocolate eclairs for pudding and later on some popcorn and sweets. Let's sweep today under the carpet and start fresh tomorrow. Planning to really step up the exercise this week doing DC2...

So glad we don't much food in the house at moment because I could literally eat loads right now, having mega munchies. Going to my nans for lunch :) as don't have the shakes at weekends as prefer to save them for work days.

Thanks Beanboy, means alot x

I have never watched Aussie one, is it any good? Yeah boring trainers and people on it don't seem very motivated. Such a shame! Will still watch it though as generally enjoy Biggest Loser. I managed to lose 2 pounds this week yay :) Princess-Jader: - 5lbs Ariana: - 5lbs Rosie_Lee: - 1lb Tali...

Well I must be doing something right and I lost 2 pounds this week!! Wasn't the 3 pounds I wanted to reach the stone mark but I am seriously super happy with it!! NOt even been a week, only 6 days :) I reckon it's all done to these shakes and not being able to snack while at work for 9 hours as...

I know I feel for her too! Must admit I am not enjoying UK one or feeling as motivated by it like I normally am, which is a shame! Glad to hear of these fantastic losses, I'm looking forward to weighing sat wooop. And no of course not :) never too late :D

Don't have much to update with. Food been okay, not great, not horrific. Not exercise other than soft play at work lol. Having real crappy time at work at moment, it's making me want to comfort eat but it's not worth it! Finally got a sort of set in stone moving date...next friday!! eeek so...

Well done Ariana! I couldn't weigh this saturday as was helping friend move and I go to boots to use their scales lol. That's a fantastic loss! I think you might be right FattyMcBigBum, she just doesn't seem to be losing big amounts like the others. I would be pretty annoyed if I trained 4...

Didn't weigh yesterday as my weighing buddy finally got a flat after staying in a hostel for couple of months so ended up going out with my mum and helping friend move. Hope I hit the stone mark next week though ahhhh :) Food has been okay, but exercise def hasn't been great this week though...

Thankyooooou :) Yeah I hope so too Linz. Have my heart set on 3 pounds though because it means I will have hit the stone mark finally after 3 and a half months of dieting lol! Will be so fab if I do :) Well just a quick update! A couple of nights ago we were naughty and had a takeaway (oops)...

Welcome Tali and congrats on that awesome loss!! Welcome asdurley! Congrats on the weight loss and don't be silly, I count halves!! Because you lost that half :P

Thanks Beanboy, means alot! Well all is good so far with food. Done some exercise saturday and been on soft play the past couple of days at work so not too worried about exercise side this week. I just stood on my non-digital scales (bearing in mind I usually weigh in morning on official...

Yeah, it's such sad news about Angie. That's good then, hopefully that exercise will make up for those extra points! x

Thanks Leightheslim, I have def had my ups and downs but the main thing is, I am 11 pounds slimmer than when I started properly on 1st Oct which is the main thing I guess.... lol! Yeah you should, and hang it up where you can see it often :D and think to yourself, one day I will fit in it...

Hi Ariana and Rosie_Lee Yeah in a list just like that Rosie_Lee, thanks :) was about to make it into a list of people to copy and paste. Christmas is a bad time of year for dieters so just brush it off and get back into it! Bring it on!

Haha can't work it out.... but anyway it's lussssh :D will post up pic (try) when it arrives hehe! Yeah day hasn't been too bad thanks and yourself? xx

Thanks Linz, I am sooo pleased. I thought I had stayed the same and was happy with that lol! I will try and attach picture, never done it before though so will see what happens haha! It is weird stretchy material, bit like swimming costume but love it :D

Was thinking of stopping shakes and doing slimming world but its seems these shakes are working to lose 3 pounds over xmas considering I usually gain like half a stone at least!! I already have a lush pink dress for determination but ordered another last night for 12 pounds in the boohoo sale...

Hi everyone! I know how everyone enjoys watching the Biggest Loser on TV because it is so motivating and I definitely shed a few tears when watching it wishing that was me in the final looking hot and slim! I thought it would be nice if we followed the biggest loser Uk and USA which is on at...

Ohmygod, after Christmas, New Year and stress in my job causing many takeaways and bad foods, I am 3 pounds down since 17th December!! Soooooooo happy!!

I'm weighing today for the first time (properly on boots scales) since 17th December!! With Christmas and this stress in my job, I will just be happy with staying the same :) fingers crossed

Meeting was horrific!! Never been so devastated and upset! Things seem to be looking up now but because of this meeting I am struggling to sleep at night even more now so think counselling is something I need to seriously consider. Hope you all had a good week :)

Yeah hoping to go later on in the year :) Aw no :( a few little choc biscuits won't do a whole lot of damage and you are right, you could have went crazy and done much worse so don't put yourself down about it! Coolies, I weigh on saturdays :D Well... I'm in a bad mood this evening, not great...

Yeah it's a nightmare and I don't even live with family lol! We just given so much as pressies for xmas, didn't buy any for under tree as didn't want the temptation ha! Yea been searching some really random stuff on internet including holidays to lapland, Majorca and Disney Florida haha just...

Damn these stupid xmas chocolates and treats...making me go completely mad and scoffing my face, bad times! Other half at work alllll day so I'm bored stuck in the house and this is what happens when I am home alone... What am I like! Will make sure I do some Dance Central 2 later to burn off...

Hey, just wanted to wish you luck! We are very similar start weight and have the same goal weight on our stats. It will be hard at times, but we can do this and 2012 will be our year! best of luck

Haven't weighed since 17th December as couldn't face town on Xmas eve! Staying the same would be fantastic as usually gain at least half a stone throughout December and tbh I wasn't trying, just think I generally eat less without thinking about it now. So today's food plan - well I didn't get...

Wow, a proposal - exciting news! Good luck on your weight loss journey and please keep us updated :)

Sounds like you have a good plan in place ready to start your weight loss journey! Just wanted to wish you luck. Never heard of slim and save, what is it and how much it cost if you don't mind me asking? Many congrats on the 3 days of no smoking, the first few days are the hardest so you are...

Just wanted to wish you luck on your weight loss journey! I'm personally not losing weight for a baby right now but I would like to have a healthier body ready for baby making time when it comes and also definitely don't want to be fat bride. This site is fantastic for meeting all sorts of...

What an amazing story! Not only lost an incredible amount of weight already but you have a gorgeous baba too :) It's stories like this that keeps other people going! Do you follow a particular diet or exercise regime? x

That's right Linz, we sure can. Had a fab NYE, although did drink some alcohol which is very rare for me and did eat some buffet food and just seemed starving hungry last night ahhh bad times. Still on the measure up shakes and not finding them a problem when I am at work but at home they are...

Bad thing about xmas is all the nice treats and choccies left for days and days afterwards ahhh! I now 2012 is going to be my year to lose weight as I am already 8 pounds towards my weight loss goal :)

Yep that's right Beanboy! Didn't weigh last saturday as the idea of pushing through the xmas shoppers seemed like my idea of hell. Should be weighing as normal this saturday and hopefully xmas food hasn't done too much damage.

Thankyou LinzLinz, hope you have a fantastic christmas too! 2012 will be our weight loss year! :D

Ohmygod, Dance Central is sooo much fun but hard work! Love it, wish I had bought it sooner. I'm shattered from it lol. Today at work, I managed to spend 2 hours on the soft play playing hide and seek and tag (I luckily work above a soft play centre woop woop) and also done about half hour on...

My 3 pound gain shows how bad my week has been. Got dance central 2 yesterday and must say I love it very very much! In process of perfecting 2 songs at moment. Hoping to do at least some of the game each day :) have to fight hubby for xbox though haha.

It's been a bad week! Been off work ill, ended up eating naughty foods as feeling sorry for myself ha ha and no exercise at all this week as suffering with bad back :( Finally purchased dance central 2 today and can't wait to jump on it and play it woooooo

Lost an awesome 3 pounds this week :) didn;t have the best week but did have about 4 really good days so think that helped! Off to buy dance central 2 today as looks fab, can't wait :)

Hey guys, sorry it's been a while!! Been a busy few weeks! Didn't weigh that sat I last updated, weighed the week after and had lost 5 pounds in those 2 weeks and this week I have stayed the same. Finally losing some weight!! done 8 pounds all together woooo and knocked that 17 stone barrier! :D :D

Just a quick update - this week is going quite well! Not really good and not really bad. Haven't really done any exercise but the food side hasnt been too bad. Next weigh in is Saturday and cannot wait :)

WOO HOO A POUND DOWN :D :D :D :D

Yeah, it's hard though! :( thanks beanboy, how's its all going with you? Brekkie: shake @ 9am Lunch: shake and wotsits @ 12.30pm Dinner will probs be pasta and chicken bake

What a good day I've had today :D Breakfast - none, didn't have time Lunch - vanilla shake and wotsits Dinner - few smiles and few chicken dippers Snack - 2 babybels I can't believe I managed to just have shake and wotsits until 7.30pm when I finally got home from work :) an didn't buy...

URGH feel soooo hungry :( bad times! Had shake for lunch, cheese baguette for lunch (little naughty) and that's all so far. Planning to have sausages, mash, peas and gravy for dinner but will be late one as hubby on late shift. Things aren't made better by my weighing partner texting me saying...

I would love to join - setting myself a challenge of 7lbs for November! Samprand - 8lbs (8lbs to go) gem123 - 8lbs (1.5lbs to go) Mousy - 8lbs (8lbs to go) Princess-Jader - 7lbs (7lbs to go)

Breakfast (12pm) - vanilla shake Lunch/dinner (4.30pm) - massive roast dinner!! Sounds bad but that's all I've had and will have for today so pretty pleased with that tbh, could have been worse! Really want dance central 2 for kinect, looks sooooo good but can't afford it at the moment :( money...

just realised it's been 5 weeks with no coke!!!! :)

Well I think the anger and disappointment of gaining 2 pounds have made me lose my appetite lol. Skipped brekkie cos of weigh in, had quite big lunch with gammon steak and chips with cheesy garlic bread. That was at 1pm and havent eaten since, just feeling rubbish and disappointed with myself at...

Thanks Linz, means alot. It is hard to pick yourself back up but I am determined to pick myself up and have a great loss next week! :)

Thanks Beanboy, wish I could share good news but its very bad!! Gained 2 pounds :( :( so so so so so so so angry with myself!!!

Today is weigh in day!! Don't think it's going to be good though, been stressful week with changing routines etc! A stay the same would be great, just not a gain :( Will update later x

Just wanted to wish you luck! You will get there and stay motivated as long as you don't expect something to happen overnight. That goal is very realistic and you can do it! Keep us all updated x

Cheers Beanboy, how is week going so far?! What day of the week do you do your weekly weigh in? Today has been okay! Had chocolate shake for brekkie then vanilla shake plus a cheese roll for lunch (as not allowed to eat at any other time at work so use 300 calories of snacks to go with lunch...

Thank you! I need it ha ha. Exercise just seems so boring and hard work compared to lying on sofa watching tv LOL!! Well weigh in tomorrow ahhhhhhh don't hold much hope, its been a stressful and tiring 2 weeks which results in some bad food choices! Also heard my some bad news about my CRB for...

I just wanted to wish you luck on your weight loss journey :) Sounds like you have a good plan of action put into place already and do keep us updated :D

but on a good note, tomorrow I have been a whole week without a drop of coke!! Doesn't sound like alot but drank coke 24/7 even through the night and last time i gave it up for 2 weeks, I replaced with milk as hate water and gained 1/2 a stone in 2 weeks!! so I am REALLY proud :)

Today has been a weird one! For the first time on the shakes, I was hungry last night before bed so had a 100 calorie snack but then woke up starving hungry and have been just feeling hungry all day but I'm sure we all have one of these days :( a shake usually fights off my hunger for hours but...

Yea they are LinzLinz, only 88p a cartoon! I personally don't like strawberry one but not keen on strawberry stuff anyway, chocolate is nice with weird aftertaste but you get used to it and start to like it lol and tried vanilla today and OMG lussssh and so sweet :) I weighed this morning and...

Fair enough :) it can a bit mad counting them sometimes lol! Well past couple of days have been good, starting to enjoy the chocolate shakes and now have a vanilla one to try so will see how that one is :) Off to weigh this morning as been on shakes 4 days and want to know if it's working...

Thanks, I really appreciate the comments as don't want to damage my body or chances to lose weight so really appreciate it! I have been naughty and struggled to stick at 1200 calories and had about 1400 yesterday but will up the calories as I begin increasing my exercise :) do you count...

Thanks Linzlinz, I aim for 1200 but tends to be more like 1300/1400 but tbh its loads more less than I used to eat lol! Thanks Brads, I really really am!! The dress is out of the wardrobe so I can see it when I walk around the house :)

I love your comment Tim, I would love to be able to eat more than 1200 calories lol! I have gone over a little today anyway! Oops

Just tried the strawberry flavour one for the first time and YUCK!! is all I can say lol think I will be sticking to the chocolate ones for now! x

DAY 1 - 2nd October 2011 I felt I had a really good day yesterday :) I didn't feel hungry and actually struggled to have my lunchtime shake! The scales didn't look good this morning though (although I do have non digital ones and are hard to tell lol) Breakfast 11.30am - shake Snack 1pm -...

Well it's 12.10pm on the first day of the ASDA Measure Up shakes. Had my first shake at 11.30am (although took half hour to drink lol). It was the chocolate flavour which is very sweet which is fine for me but has an odd after taste.... but bearable! Have work at 2pm so will have second shake at...

Hi Kell :) Just wanted to wish you good luck on your weight loss journey! And don't worry about making friends, everyone is so supportive and kind on minimins and so inspiring so please keep updating your diary for us all to see. You can do this :) x

Can't help but feel tomorrow is the start of the rest of my life! Yippeee :) And ohmgod, just got my determination dress out of the wardrobe for first time in months and forgot how lush it is, I will fit into that on mine and partner's 6 year anniversary meal in disneyland!!

Thanks Brads, I think I have reach the point where I really want it 100%. Just got back from shopping for my shakes and instead of starting Monday, I have decided to start again fresh using these shakes as a turning point tomorrow. I have to do this this time. Watch this space :)

Sorry it's been a while, I have managed to get away to the seaside for a few days! Back home now though. Last Saturday I stayed the same! Not really surprised. Going shopping saturday for my new shakes before starting fresh, also cutting out the diet coke because its not good for me at all :(

Well done!! That's a great loss x

Thanks Beanboy, it's so true! I just couldn't believe it, I would never say about people's weight to their face etc people don't understand how much that hurts an overweight person!! I am weighing in today yay, don't have high hopes. I am thinking of starting asda's own shakes....ready made at...

AND THEN made me weigh in front of him :( was the worst experience ever. Doesn't he think I know how fat and horrid I look?! He is not the one who has to live with it everyday, every time I look in the mirror, everytime I get dressed... GRRRR

What a horrible day! Had the worst thing that could happen to a fat person today and spent hours crying about it :( Basically my partner's brother in front of my partner's family was like 'you've gained loads of weight recently, how heavy are you?' it was very hurtful but managed to laugh it...

Also changed stats and signature because haven;t been doing it properly so started fresh on 3rd September. Fingers crossed for this time round

Good luck! It's going to be hard work but you will get there x

Thanks Beanboy, and yea car all sorted thank god! Was lost without it lol Thank you Tim, means alot :)

WI 7 - lost 1 pound wooooooooooooo :)

I love looking through this thread, especially when I'm having a bad day!! Everyone's pictures are just so inspiring! I can't wait till the day I can put up my before and after pictures :)

5 lbs!! Wow, congratulations! That's fantastic :)

I just wanted to wish you the best of luck on your weight loss journey! Sounds like you have been through so much in the past year or so but it's nice to see you focusing on yourself and getting healthy. You will get there :)

What a week!! Ended up having to work my spare day once the car was fixed. I have been ill with horrible bug so didn't eat too much those couple of days. I am weighing tomorrow, about 2 weeks after last weigh in and really hoping for any sort of loss. Will update tomorrow afternoon!! :)

Thanks for the lovely good luck messages. Unfortunately, weigh in has been moved to tomorrow as my car woudln't start yday and I drive 15 minutes to another town to use boots scales. It's so annoying as was counting down the days till weigh in lol. Will update you tomorrow :D x

I just wanted to wish you luck on your weight loss journey :) I agree with RainbowRose that your diet looks very sensible. You can do this, good luck x

Is starting to get very very excited about weigh in day (Monday) as every morning when I step on my non digital scales I am getting lower and lower :). I was so close to ordering takeaway few nights ago and managed to resist and also turnt down mc donalds the day after that happened so really...

I was a nice 1 pounds down yesterday so definitely on track to lose 2 pounds this week! Yaaaaaaaaay :)

I only weighed saturday but weighing today to check I am on target to lose 2 pounds this week. I am now working 10 and a half hours on saturday so won't be able to weigh until the following Monday :(

Haha Charli I know what you mean :P how many years you got left? I loved uni and seriously miss my friends because they came from near and far across the UK. Aww Elaine, sorry to hear about that gain but don't let it make you give up (a thing i always do!!), just accept it and move on vowing...

Ah right, that's fair enough :) What you studying at uni? I have just finished uni, done primary early years education.

Hey Charli, thank you for our message! It's lovely to meet someone who is not only simliar age but also has a very similiar goal weight! Aww thanks, I wish you the best of luck - it will be hard but we will both get there in the end :) I see you are doing WW, do you go to meetings?

Thank you very much Crumbs - all of what you said makes complete sense! I really don't want to waste my days worrying about food/exercise/dieting etc. I still want to live. I know I will get there in the end :)

WEEK 6 WEIGH IN - STAYED THE SAME... again :( :( I honestly thought I had gained, so over the moon completely with this!! A loss would have been million times better. Thanks for the good luck, shame I didn't lose. I seem to be eating more now than ever ha bad times. I'm starting to exercise...

I seem to still be eating quite alot - not as much as i used to but stil quite alot. I restarted taking my adios tablets today although forgot the lunchtime one lol not in routine with it yet. Does anyone have experience of these? How did you do on them? Weigh in Saturday - had gave my self 4...

I just wanted to wish you luck on your weight loss journey, you are doing so well already!! Good luck for your weigh in tomorrow!

I just wanted to wish you good luck on your weight loss journey, my starting weight is similiar to yours with me being 17 stone 6 at the start. I know the exact feeling you are expressing - and when I stay the same or gain or have a bad day/week, I think what is the point and give up :( You can...

Just done some zumba and just dance - definitely improved fitness wise since first getting zumba game as died after one song, I don't even sweat during my first song anymore lol! I am determined to have a loss this week but 4 pounds would be amazing!!!

Went into town today so done a sneaky half way weigh in and I am exactly the same weight :( bit annoying but might be the kick up the butt I need to lose 4 pounds by Saturday!! I literally haven't exercised for weeks now so need to get back into the zumba :)

Really should come on here more! Well, another shocking week both eating and exercise wise... literally having been exercising at all and the diet just hasn't happened lol! Had chinese, mc donalds and everything!! Things are getting back on track now. WEEK 5 WEIGH IN - STAYED THE SAME :)...

Haven't been on here properly in some time, just been so busy with work, 21st birthday celebrations! and also meant that on Monday I have a whopping 3 pound gain, I was shocked!! Mind you, I had soo much chocolate for my birthday ha! Getting back on track :)

Thanks! I start 10th October as it doesn't open till the end of October as it's new :) Aw cool, you will have to let me know how it goes etc. Aw wow, sounds great, I can't wait to get into it! I've already done a degree in teaching but couldnt find teaching job. x

Thank you!!! Still buzzing from the phonecall haha! That's completely true beanboy, I feel like my whole life has fallen into place so hoping that affects my weight loss is great ways :)

Wow, just had some fantastic news!! I applied for pre school manager position, got shortlisted, went to interview and had a nervous 5 day wait. I didn't get Manager position but it was a hard decision and I done such a strong interview that I got offered DEPUTY MANAGER :) omg I can't express how...

Well done!! I've heard it's hard work so well done, you are nearly half way and doing fab!! Keep going :) Are you weighing yourself in between or not till end of 30 days?! xx

WEEK 3 WEIGH IN - STS again!! Better than a gain though, much better! Time to step things up once and for all!

Thanks pepshouse and congrats on your great weight loss so far!! :) I see your doing slimming world and hypno band, have you had 'hypno band' done now? Has it worked?

This forum just seems to be me chatting away to myself lol, where have all the people gone?! Had a long, tiring day at work so unfortunetly the biscuits came out when I got home :( not good. Another rubbish day of work tomorrow too :( . I am awaiting a reply back about a job interview I went...

Well since my 'bad day', eating doesn't seem to be my priority as not thinking about it constantly. It's hard time for me at moment but determined not to let it make me comfort eat. Looking forward to weigh in on Monday but not hoping for much lol x

Had the worst day ever yesterday :( which, for once, meant I ate less because I felt sick to my stomach with worry and spent day crying. I would usually comfort eat but this was not a nice situation. Looking forward to weighing in on Monday, I would be very happy with even a one pound loss!

I had to come on here, feeling like I want to eat the whole house again!! Not good at all!! Although, stepping on the scales this morning were showing a good result so far as I am very confused after the most binging few days of my life lol. I am hungry.com, bad times. I've heard quorn is better...

I stayed the same this week. NOt surprised though after a horrendous week! Just eating anything and everything, bad times :(

Well done everyone on the fab losses! I stayed the same this week, not surprised though, I seem to be having terrible binges and don't even feel full after which is slightly worrying. I will lose 2 pounds next week!!

Week 2 weigh in - STS!! :( Better than a gain though I guess and I had some really bad binges. I don't know what happens, I just feel like I can eat and eat and don't even feel full, it's so bad and needs to stop!

Things seem to be going from bad to worse this week, had days where I just want to eat everything in the whole house!! Weigh in day tomorrow but honestly don't have any hope for loss, can only dream of STS instead of a gain. Will update tomorrow :)

Thank you so much for this super helpful post. I have not been diagnosed/been to docs about it but I do believe I have PCOS. I am pretty convinced now because although I've never had problems with regular cycles, I have excess annoying hair and gained weight dramatically when periods started...

Well done Joeyjojo on loss and good luck for weigh in today Jude!! Aww Rosie, it can be hard when you gain but loads of things can cause the tiny gain of half a pound so dont put yourself down x

I could have written that myself Sarahkins!! That is soooo true. That's when I mess up my diet, have bad week where I gain or STS or few weeks so give up thinking what is the point? Then put it all back on and more. I am the heaviest I have ever been right now. I remember being like oh I will...

Well done on these great weight losses :) it's only the 3rd of August woooo x

well done on these fab losses already everybody :) I have to wait till Monday to weigh in, ahhhhhhh hate the waiting....

Past few days have been okay-ish!! Done zumba on xbox kinect last night for about half hour and really enjoyed it! Although, I have suffered weak calf muscles since around 11 years old as I pulled it and it's been ever since, and obviously went too hard on zumba last night as stretched at 7am...

Hehe! Oh I have had a horrendous day!! Wanting to eat anything and everything in the house, this is what happens when I have days off, would rather be at work keeping busy lol x

Thank yoooou :) I am really pleased with it. Nothing today actually ha day off so chilling and maybe some housework in there too! Then just work rest of week, how about you? Oh yes happy Monday hahaha x

I will join :) I am also in the August-December challenge but no harm in doing both ha. CatCrazy (190.6) 10lbs - 10lbs to go Princess_Jader (241) 0lbs lost - 8 pounds to go

Thank you so much for your lovely words! You have done amazingly well so far, keep at the good work :)

Thank you Jude that means alot! It was only 5 days too as had sneaky early weigh in then my boots weigh in buddy can no longer come with me tomorrow so using that weight! Hell yeah we will be skinny minies in no time! :D Bring it on!

Lost one pound this week, not great but had a really bad week so actually over the mooooooon! :) also, the challenge starts tomorrow eeek, so excited!! JoeyJoJo - (57lbs to lose - 57 to go!) shanny - ( 19 lbs to lose- 16 to go to maintain) Last_Attempt - (Need to lose 33lb to reach goal-7lb...

DAY 7 - today has been ok, not great and not bad! Due to my friend who I go to weigh with in boots can't meet tomorrow now, I am usually that sneaky saturday weigh in as my weight loss for this week as Monday is my usual weigh in! I have also made some adjustments to my statistics because went...

After a really bad few days, I done a sneaky weigh in today after 5 days and have lost a pound!! ONE POUND! I am really pleased because I have had the worst few days eating wise. Official weigh in on Monday so fingers crossed :)

Had a terrible DAY 2 yesterday and just ate everything and anything lol bad times. Today has been better but not great so far, just want to be weigh in day, the week is going soooo slow :(

Yes we will!! Day 2 (Tues 26th July) - today has been ok. I woke up early for a parcel which I dread because it means the more hours I'm awake, the more hours I have to resist food making it a million times harder! So had some cereal and low fat milk for brekkie about 10am, by half 11 I was...

Thank you for the advice, I used to eat crackerbread allll the time so think I might invest in some more :) I did end up having a pack of supernoodles but loads better than biscuits, crisps and choc bars which is what I usually have lol!

So far so good.... and not even tempted!!

Just enjoyed some pasta and chicken in a white sauce all mixed up together. Was lovely but now completely stuffed! It's coming up to the dreaded time, when the munchies begin really badly... ahhhhh AVOID :D

Have just been reading through your diary.... 7 and a quarter pounds in ONE WEEK?! WOW, you should be very very happy with that, congratulations and keep up the great work

Aww, it's hard when you have a busy busy week! I am hoping to lose 90 pounds eventually but know it's gonna be a long hard journey. Aw wow snap, I graduated on Wednesday :)

WOW! You look fantastic... this is very inspiring! If I look anywhere near as good as you do by the end of my journey I would be very happy!! Well done x

Part way through Day 1 - today is going okay so far, although still got the dreaded evening to come lol! I had a lusssh lie in till half 11 so decided to skip brekkie and have a 'brunch' later on. I ended up going into town with my friend and having lunch in a bagette bar. I had a cheese...

Just read your diary and wanted to wish you good luck and keep up the good work! :) I have re-started today after having a few months off dieting all together due to busy final year in uni. Bring it on, we CAN do it :)

I have started today so planning to weigh in every Sunday too :)

Sounds like a good idea to me! And I know the feeling, I've tried everything...even the atkins diet which made me really ill!! Snap! I am basing mine around SW but not attending the meetings. GOOD LUCK! :)

I just wanted to wish you good luck on your weight loss journey, I am with you on this journey as I try to battle my fat! How much are you wanting to lose? WOW 8 pounds?! That's amazing, keep up the good work x

Hi, I just wanted to wish you good luck on your weight loss journey, I am just attempted to get going with mine again after gaining it back and more!! I am the heaviest I have ever been. We CAN do this :)
