Hi guys, I am Emilie, 30, and a work at home mum to two(4&6) and loads of animals lol. Well today is day one in my journey on slimming world. I have done it for a while on and off now but not really stuck to it, i am determined to stick to it this time. My group is Monday mornings first thing...

Hi crazylady! welcome and yes of course we can do this together and keep each other going. My day is going well so far, fingers crossed I can get through the day, hope your day is going well too x

thank you so much for the support and advice serial slimmer, it is much appreciated :-) x

Well i'm back again, and I am at my highest weight for a long time (I am planning on weighing in the morning so will update then). I have really been struggling with not eating sugary foods, and wanting to eat loads in the evening when I am tired/ill/bored/fed up etc. So i thought i would come...

congrats on your new diary, i am following :-)

well done on the fantastic losses so far! i'm following your diary, hope you dont mind, im starting my journey today and lots of willpower and support will be needed lol x

Well done on your progress so far Jayne, I am just starting to follow your progress so far, and start my own journey, need a lot of willpower and support lol x

Well i had a little wobble considering giving up, and eating something bad but just ate some grated cheese for a while and i feel a bit better, i'm glad i didn't go off completely.

thanks heatwave and hazel :-) it helps having someone who understands to talk to. im trying not to be disheartened and just keep going, the temptation is high at the moment to eat 'real' food but im trying to ignore it lol the only thing i had was a couple of pinches of grated cheese each day...

how is it going purplegirl? following your diary :-)

how is it going heatwave? following your diary :-)

how have you got on? :-)

how did it go suzy?

following your diary sandrat, keep up the good work!

welcome and good luck!

you are doing great Hazel, following your diary now. I am on day 8 now and lost 7.5lbs. fingers crossed for both of us that we can keep going.

well i am a little sad as yesterday i didn't lose anything and today i only lost 0.5lb, i did everything the same except i did more exercise yesterday :-( But that makes my week one total 7.5lb. What is the average amount you lose per week after the first week?

Well I am very proud of myself right now - I just finished a family birthday meal where the food looked so nice, and then they had birthday cake after - I just had porridge :-) I would have liked their food but i wasn't struggling really, happy to keep on my diet :-) Been swimming today, and...

well i have had another 100% day here :-) Been for a dog walk as well. I am booking my birthday spa day soon with my 2 best friends, going to be wearing a swimsuit all day so i am hoping to look much better in it. I am going to have treatments and well as sauna/steam/jacuzzi and swim. Can't wait...

Yes I know what you mean imagining carrying all that extra weight around. Thanks for the nice words guys :-) x

i have not tried on any of my smaller clothes yet as i don't want to be disappointed and put off if they don't fit yet. Looking forwards to wearing my smaller clothes though :-) I am only on day 6 though :-)

I weighed in this morning again and have lost another pound, so the total is 7lbs :-) yay half a stone :-)

I have had another good day today, porridge, shake and carbonara. Again had a small amount of grated cheese as well. Feeling quite good today, felt easier than it has before :-)

hope you are getting back on track today :-)

thanks guys :-) i have seen people mention bouillon cheese, what is this about can anyone tell me or refer me to a thread? thanks.

well done! keep up the good work :-)

you look lovely and i'm glad you are had a good time :-)

well done! you are doing great! :-)

I weighed again this morning and i have lost another pound, so 6lb now in 4 days. Very pleased. :-)

Have a lovely day tomorrow, you can finally relax! Congratulations for tomorrow. I want to see pics of your dress!

Well done cate, keep up the good work :-)

wow they look so awesome, definitely getting some :-) I am planning on sticking around a lot as the support is a great help.

thanks jane, it is nice to have support isn't it. Well done for getting through the drive through, i have not even attempted it yet lol.

thanks guys, its so nice to have support on here :-) I have had a good day, a tiny pinch of grated cheese again but that's it. I had porridge, banana shake and shepherds pie. Looking forward to weighing in in the morning. I am feeling much more positive and energetic now, still get hungry but...

I am subscribing to keep up with your progress. That's is a great loss at your 3 week mark, well done :-) keep it up.

I am following your diary, good luck you can do it! I am only on day 4 myself but have lost 5lbs so far :-)

You are doing great! Wish I was in size 14 trousers, jealous! I can't wait to fit smaller clothes. Only on day 4 though. I have to try the pancakes now they sound yummy.

How did it go? Did you weigh in now? X

have a good time katie :-)

Thanks Thornhill :-) well I weighed myself again this morning, i know i cant help myself and it is keeping me on track. I have lost another 1.5lbs from yesterday, so i have lost 5lbs now in 3 days :-) looking forward to seeing the total at the end of this week :-)

Well I have struggled with not thinking about food this evening, not helped by having to go food shopping... But I have stuck to the plan anyway and just had a bit of grated cheese. I kept drinking lots to make the hungry feeling go away. Today I had porridge, shake and spaghetti bolognaise...

i tried the coffee vanilla thing but i used the whole pack, i may have to split it up next time and try again. i have started having breakfast later when i am actually hungry, and a shake for lunch at 1pm ish, then a meal for tea at 5/6pm. drinking lots in the evening.

it is getting easier but i'm not good at suddenly eating a lot less, i get hungry every few hours so i am drinking lots and trying not to think about food lol, i am also taking it a bit easy whilst i get used to the diet, not rushing around :-)

welcome sandrat, i am hoping this too, knowing other people out there are going through the same thing :-) how are you finding it so far?

thanks, how are you finding it Lilly?

I weighed myself this morning and i am 14st 9lbs, so i have lost 3.5lbs since friday, but most of it in the last 2 days! I am very happy this morning now, it feels worth it now. I am starting to feel a bit better and not struggle quite so much but yes hoping it gets easier in the next day or 2...

Thanks guys. Today i have had apple and cinnamon porridge for breakfast, strawberry shake for lunch and chilli for tea. i had a few pinches of cheese this afternoon as that is when i struggle most. I have probably not drunk enough water today either, i need to get better at that. very pleased i...

How is it going? X I am on day 3 now.

Great loss so far Katie, following your diary now, I was reading some last night :-) x

thanks katie, I didnt realise it was the carbs i needed to avoid specifically. i am hoping to go without snacks now as the first day is always the hardest. fingers crossed for day 2.

Well today was my day 1 on exante. I had porridge for breakfast, shake for lunch and carbonara for tea. I did struggle in the afternoon as I was so hungry and needed the energy to look after the kids so I had 2 cream crackers and 2 rich tea biscuits, but that should only be 150 calories and I...

Love all of these pictures everyone! well done to you all. Will keep popping back and post some pics when i have some to show :-)

wow well done, any tips for staying on track for a newbie? x

thanks so much for the advice :-) I hope to be around quite a lot. Sticking to it is always my problem, but not this time!

Hi everyone. Today I bought my first months supply of Xante from their website. I am very excited to get started with this diet. My friends have been doing it and they have had good results so i thought i would give it a go. I have bought the caramel coffee and orange juice powder as well. I am...

yes i have signed up too, i havent gotten around to looking t much yet though. good luck!

Thanks! no i have not done slimfast properly before, i have a had a few shakes ages ago, but didn't follow the diet.

Hi, I am just starting slimfast tomorrow, wish me luck! I need to lose 3 stone to get to my healthy weight :-(

Hey guys, you may have seen i had a christmas diary in december, but i am now aiming for easter. I'm a mum to a one year old, and also a student at Southampton University. I want to continue losing the weight i gained whilst pregnant. I want to reach 12st by february, only 3lbs to go now...

well I lost another pound last night, yay! i'm only half a pound away from my first mini goal and the lowest weight i have been since having Jamie. I have a christmas ball to go to on tuesday where i want to wear a nice dress, and i'm going shopping in London wednesday, so they are keeping me on...

hey guys, how are you all doing? are you still on track? I am back on track again, 4 days so far, and have lost 1.5lbs in 3 days, which isnt loads but at least its coming off again. I'm taking Alli pills at every meal but i think i need to do more exercise as im doing hardly anything atm. I...

hi guys, sorry i have MIA for while! i have gone off track and cant stop eating, i need a big kick up the bum to get back on track. me, oh and baby have been ill for what feels like a month on and off, and i have the stress of uni work all due now. i wont reach my goal for xmas but if i get back...

thank you, that made me feel a bit better! Yes my restart has been good, havnt even eaten 1000 calories yet today! got to go food shopping in a minute so i wont be sat on the sofa, which will help me resist the kitchen. I havn't found it as hard to get back on track this time, i guess i had got...

next start well i was ill all last week so didnt eat very well, i have had pizza twice, chinese, mcdonalds, chocolate cake, crisps but i didnt really enjoy them and i was never full, i just kept eating and it makes me feel crap. its so expensive and i just stuff it in so fast. i dont know why i...

Still doing ok eating wise, have eaten 1000 calories again today. Breakfast - 2x toast with light spread. coffee. Lunch - weetabix with semi skimmed milk Dinner - chilli and wedges ww meal. Snack - oat square and tea. coffee. 2x pieces of turkey and grapes. Havnt done any exercise but have done...

Well last night i went to a halloween party so i had some vodka and some crisps and dips. but i kept an eye on how much i ate so i didnt just eat for the sake of it. I have lost 1lb in the last few days, not loads but it is coming off.

Well i had a weight watchers meal instead for tea as well as grapes and strawberries and a fromage frais. I did go on my treadmill but i only had time for 11 minutes/100 calories before i had to go to my lecture. I havnt done wii fit tonight as i had to get reading done instead for uni. so i...

well i'm still jumping on the scales most mornings but trying not to get disheartened and keep it up anyway, i figure it has to come off eventually. Lost 0.5lb last night so im getting there slowly. Had my hair cut to my shoulders today, it looks good but gonna take some getting used to as i...

sorry guys i was doing wii fit. I didnt do any exercise today but i did spend the day shopping in town so it was walking i guess. was so knackered tonight that i couldnt be bothered to go on the treadmill. SO i did some wii fit instead. Breakfast - 1x boiled egg and 1x piece of toast. Coffee...

well done. i still didnt lose any weight last night though! i dont understand. My other half says i look a lot slimmer and toned though. Think i am going to have to eat less.

Ok so today i have eaten: Breakfast - Muller Corner Bio Yoghurt and Granola. Coffee Lunch - Half carton of Winter Veg Soup and a Wholemeal Roll Snack - Go ahead oat square and a cup of tea Dinner - Weight Watchers Lasagne and a petit filous yoghurt. Total of 1000 calories. Also 1 litre of water...

just realised i have got the first sports active not the newest one. still a great price, i will wait until the other one is much cheaper.

guys i just bought this for £12 with free delivery.

my partner and i lost a stone each 2 years ago by going on daily 45min to 1hr walks together. It really makes a difference, keep up the good work.

yep i do too. its a famil trait as my sister and mum get very red too. nothing you can do about it, just dont let it control your life and get on with it, dont worry about it. i dont think anyone in the gym would care as everyone is too busy focusing on themselves to really notice anyone else.

good idea. Dont eat them! think how great you are gonna look in your dress at xmas! will update mine a bit later, supposed to be doing work, lol.

if you want to tone up your middle quickly the best thing i have found is wii fit - doing the hula hooping really works all your stomach muscles!

of course you can. i havn't started posting what i have eaten yet, if people want me to i will. the more motivation the better!

same here, i have so many size 10 and 12 clothes that dont fit, i want to wear them again. like i said try to choose lower calorie versions on your day off will help, and dont eat just for the sake of it like i used to.

the first three days this week i was on lipotrim vlcd, which worked but i struggled to stick to it and was miserable whilst on it, so i decided to do cc and exercise instead as i have done it before and i already had a kickstart, which is the hardest part for me. I love yoghurts too. Why do you...

i know i spend most of my time thinking about it atm, its doing my head in but i am determind to be skinny again by xmas.

i'm sure you can achieve it if you stick with it, 2lbs a week is definately possible. I lost loads of weight before by eating soups for at least one meal a day, low calorie and very filling. What kinds of food do you eat?

do you think more exercise would help? should i go on my treadmill today?

i know i shouldnt but i do often lose a pound or two overnight. I will stick to it, as it will come off eventually i guess, im just impatient. thanks guys.

welcome. well i weighed myself this morning (i do most days, i know i shouldnt) but i hadnt lost any weight, i am very confused. I only ate 1000 calories and had 2 15 minute fast walks to uni and back, although i wasnt active for the rest of the day as i was doing work. I also drank 2 litres of...

great, well good luck and let me know how you are getting on. Log on here if you are struggling to stay on track, i am always around in the evenings.

thanks very much :-)

thanks very much. of course you can! I am aiming for 1000/1100 calories as i dont have much time for exercise and am not very active during the day. do you know what calorie intake you are going to aim for? and are you taking up any exercise? x

Hey guys, im new around here. I'm Emilie, mum to a nearly 10 month old baby called Jamie, and also a student at Southampton University studying sociology. I want to lose the weight i gained whilst pregnant and after. I want to reach my goal of 11st by christmas, so i have 25lbs to lose in 8...

I tend to go for light babybels, strawberries, grapes, dairylea triangle, special k bites, oatibix cereal bars, go ahead oat squares, slices of ham or turkey, ww crisps or a petit filous.

Great thread guys, thanks for all the ideas.

Sounds very similar to what i'm doing too, i love weight watcher meals! Good luck!

well i wanted to eat so badly last night but i thought i would wait til the morning and then see how i felt. this morning i got up and weighed my self (i know its only been 2 days) but i have lost 3.5lbs! so happy, although i would kill for breakfast i am going to ignore these cravings.

Honk for day 2!

thanks guys, i am trying to think about one day at a time, but at the same time i need distraction in the evenings . i just read emmas diary and it is very motivational, will have to keep checking back. I managed to stay on track today after my little rant, i think it helped to rant a bit. I...

well i just spilt the second meal today, all over the kitchen floor. this morning i spilt it all over my work. arrghhh i feel like quitting right now. the chicken soup was disgusting, gagged with every mouthful and threw a bit away. the pharmacy wouldnt swap the soup for shakes so im stuck with...

well day 2 is going well but i am feeling sickly and weak, struggling but am determined to stay on track. i hope i dont feel like this the whole time. need to distract myself somehow...

Honk day 1! so pleased with myself.

Well day one has gone really well, much better than last time. I am so much more determined and in the right mindset, not struggled as much. Had three shakes and nearly finished my 4th pint of water. I found it was a lot easier adding coffee to my shakes so i wasnt trying to cut caffeine out at...

well done! that must be a great feeling.

well done thats amazing! im only on day one, i cant imagine 100!

well done! its a great feeling isnt it? being able to buy smaller clothes. keep it up.

well done on the loss and resisting temptation. i'm from near plymouth and its an ok place, good shopping etc, does have its bad areas like anywhere, close to some really nice places to go though, beaches, moors etc

well done! still a good loss

Good luck, i have heard lots that you get through the first week and it gets a lot easier.

Thanks so much, its nice to know someone else is out there in the same boat for support.

Hey guys, does anyone know if i can/need to take multivitamins, and omega 3 fish oils and evening primrose oil on lipotrim diet? thanks.

Day 1 starts today!!! So far i have had breakfast of chocolate shake with coffee so it is a mocha. Much encouragement needed for tonight guys! Any more tips guys?

I havnt re-started yet as last week was hard enough with being ill and having a baby to look after who wa also ill, and carry on with my degree but i am definatley going to start again. Would like to start again tomorrow really. Will let you know how it is going. Thanks for all the advice guys.

Hi, guys. Well i started yesterday and did really well, distracting myself last night so i wouldnt eat but i got up this morning and i hadnt lost anything! That upset me, as well as my baby wouldnt go back to sleep even though he was tired, i have been ill all this week so i feel like crap and...
