Hi guys, Just wondered how many syns you think a standard sized baguette from a sandwich shop would be. Fancy a treat tomorrow for lunch. Was thinking tuna and salad so should be able to keep fillings syn free. Just wondered how much for the baguette? Thank x

Thank you. I think I will just have a controlled night off and then straight back on it the next day. My usual drink is wine, which I have not touched since starting in jan which is an achievement in itself x just can't stop at 1 x I think I might try vodka and diet coke to cut down on the syns...

Hi all, I have my first night out planned on Saturday since I started SW. We are going for a honest and I plan to have a few drinks. What is the best way to handle this. Save syns all week towards it or have the night 'off'?? I never know if you are allowed to save syns towards these sort of...

Hi All, I started SW 6 weeks ago and have been following EE. I am a veggie and only eat fish occassionally. I have just read the green booklet and am surprised to read that bascially, if I dont have any meat, which I dont do most days, I can follow a green day and have an extra Hex a and b...

Hi. I would like to join the thread if that's ok. I am planning to re start tomorrow. Have been trying to restart for ages so will be nice go try along side you all x I have 6 stone to lose so really need to start x

Hi girls, thanks for all your support,I am going to start tomorrow as I had my brothers wedding over the weekend, so I will use today to brush up on all the rules and food shop x x Thanks again

Hi guys After yo yoing for so long, I went to my docs and the only thing she could give me was Xenical. I accepted as I am so desperate to get things under control. I have also joined ww which has worked for me in the past. But I am scared as I have only read bad things about it, so I just...

Hi Liz, that sounds like a good idea, I managed 100% yesterday which I am really chuffed about. I think i will do the same and have an extra soup/shake if I need it, its better than eating anything else x

Good luck hon x I have tried to lose weight for other people before, but it has taken me a long time to realise the only way I will do it is if I am doing it for me x Good luck on your journey x:)

Thanks Liz, thats what I keep trying to tell myself, I know once i get past the first few days I will be fine. Its just getting there lol. Keep up the good work too x

That is fine, a kick up the bum is DEF what i needed. x I have restarted today and I have made it to 5.40, so I am going to keep myself busy so I get through day one, which is a massive achievement in itself. Hope everyone is doing well x Thanks again everyone, it really helps x

Thanks girls, I think i just need to sit and give myself a good talking to and try and get my head back in the right place x Thanks again, and good luck with your journeys too x

Thanks, it makes much so more sense when someone else says it really x I might print it off to keep it with me. Thanks again. Tracey x

Hi all, I really need some help. I started cd at the beg of January and lasted two months, longer than i have before. I ended up falling off the wagon a month ago and despite saying i will start again every morning, the urgency to lose the weight has gone. I have lost 2 stone so feel much...

Hiya, I am exactly the same as you, I get weighed by ww and cambridge. I started ww in september and lost 13 lbs before xmas, and then put on 8 of them. I decided to start cambridge again and cos of my history of lasting about 4 weeks on it, i have continued to go to ww meetings to get...

So sorry to hear your news x x x Do whatever you need to do to look after your family and yourself during this horrible time. My thoughts are with you x

I have poured hot water into my bowl of porridge thinking I was making soup many times, and have ended up putting too much in and having to 'drink' my porridge. Not nice at all, but coiuldnt waste it x

Hi, yes I had the same problem when I started Lighterlife. My doc said the best way to lose weight is to eat less and exercise more. Like I hadnt thought of that already!!!!! He said he managed to lose weight so I should be able to. I was so upset when I left. My LLC gave me the number of a...

Hi hon, well done on your weight loss this week, With regards to the water I swear by using a straw. Even at work i sit there with my pint glass with a straw in it. Room temp water and i can drink a pint at a time without really noticing it. Hope this helps, keep up the good work x x

Hiya, i find I need to lose a lot first to move down a dress size. I have a total of 6 stone to lose but from experience that only means i will drop 4 dress sizes when I get to goal. x

Hi, sorry I have only just seen this thread but had to respond. OMG it was the best wasn't it. We were even debating whether to watch it or not as the previous weeks had been a bit slow. I watched it from behind a cushion for most of it. x x

Hi, Have you tried drinking it through a straw. I find I drink it pints at a time without noticing. Or as suggested a sports bottle? I have started taking the Fibre supplement and that has helped me as I was suffering as well. x x

Big hugs hon ((( ))) My kitten died last weekend at only 5 1/2 months and I was devastated, I couldnt talk to people about it for ages without crying so I understand how you feel. Well done for staying on track as well hom x x

Hi, I would also like to know this. I was in Boots the other day and I was not sure whether to get a firming cream like nivea, or a smoothing one like bio oil. If i firm my skin will that not help it shrink back?? Does this make sense, sorry if it doesnt. I really want to start a daily routine...

Hi, I put them in over night then eat them straight away, they are rock hard but i peel the carton and gnaw away at them. It takes me about 15 minutes to eat them compared to the 3 seconds to drink. I have one every evening, not ideal in this weather but tastes nice x

Oh I know how you feel. I always have wine in the evening to unwind after work and the kids. I am struggling to get out of the routine. I am just having a lot of baths and stupid amounts of fluids. Sometimes I even put my water in a wine glass, cos I am used to holding it, I am that sad lol

Thanks Nelly, i never thought of that, i think my brain is bunged up as well lol

Thanks, x I am just about coping, just really bunged up. I will try and just stick to paracetamol x Thanks

Hi guys, I am on day 7, and have been 100%, but have now come down with a draining cold and sore throat. Does anyone know what medicines, or even throat sweets i could take if any and stay in ketosis. Does anyone eat small amounts of food when they are not well, or just keep on ss? Thanks...

Good luck for tomorrow Truffle. I got weight on Sat after 4 days as I didnt want to go out in the dark and ice tonight, I would have liked to have waited for the whole week but i had still lost 6lbs so i was happy with that. Good luck, let us all know how you get on

I'm so glad you are feeling better, its hard to get past points like that, but you feel so much better for it after. I was like that yesterday, really struggled all the way up until going to bed, but went with a proud smile on my face x Well done again

Well done you, you are defintiely in the Zone. x x

Hiya, I am having one of those days aswell, am meant to be working from home today as the kids are off but my computer is too close to the kitchen, so I was going to do housework but cant be bothered with that either. I have had half a tetra and half a soup so far, might have a porridge for...

Morning Truffle, that is sounding like its going to be an excellent first week weight loss. I am on day 4 as well today but am stuck at home with the kids so it is going to be a challenge today, normally i am so busy at work I dont think of food.

I would just ban bread from the house!!:D I have had to stop buying everything i like cos i sit here and it calls me all night, so the poor kids are getting really bland food for this first week lol

Here's hoping for a pink day tomorrow x

Oh hon that is soooo not on. Mine is eating fruit pastilles and I am sure I can smell them from here lol Good idea, take your book to bed, away from the smell, it is so late in the day to even think about ruining it. x x Be strong hon, only a few more days till first weigh in x

Hi Truffle, I hope you dont mind me adding onto this thread, its day 3 for me to. I am really struggling tonight. Not really hungry just feel like I need something substantial. Will keep glugging the water and veg powder. Just wish I could sleep through the first week.

Hi all, I am also on day 2 of my restart which I am sooo happy about cos I have tried to restart numerous and have not made it to day 2. Am feeling a bit tired and just want to lay in bed, which i might do in a min while the kids are having their tea. Today has been ok, really hungry though...

Hi all, I am restarting on the 1st of January after umming and ahhing for a while. Lost a bit on cambridge, put it back on, went to ww and was doing really well until the run up to xmas and I have fallen off the wagon completely. I have a holiday in spain in August and also my brothers wedding...

Morning, I am about to re start again. I have a gym membership and want to start using it. I fancy the idea of going to classes again, I have not done this for years, but at least that way I know I have had a decent work out for an hour. I am currently 14.7 stone and a size 18/20, and have...

Hi, I am struggling as well, as bad as it sounds friday nights to me mean wind down with a bottle of wine. Which is why I am having to do this !!:) About to have a long bath to get away from these darn adverts on the tele for food and drink. Hope everyone is ok x

Well done x it gives newbies like me something to focus on and see that it really is achievable. x x

Thanks ladies, I hadn't thought of doing it with the tetras. I have a choc orange one, I might try that in a min.

Hi all, Just a quick question re the shakes. Does anyone warm them up, and if so do you just add hot water or warm water? And what are everyones favs? Just fancy something different tonight. Thanks in advance.

Hi, I am trying to start as well, I failed yesterday as well, so if you fancy a buddy I am willing. I know how hard it is x

Lets hope so, thanks hunx

After messing around for so long I have restarted today. Have just received an invite to a friends 30th birthday on 18th July and it is a James Bond theme and it is evening wear which has paniced me into starting again. I am also going to be a god mother on July 5th, so I have two good reasons...

Hi girls, i am really sorry i have not been around, i have been wiped out by the bug that i could not shift and turned into a bit of a recluse. Have had a few probs at home as well which didnt help either. BUt I am back. You are all doing so well so i dont want to let you down. No weight loss...

You will always find someone on here to talk to hon, x

Hi, after a really rubbish week, I managed to lose 3lbs. I am happy with that, seeing as I was unable to stick to it while I was ill, so I am down from 15st to 14 11lb. Well done girls x

Hiya, I was meant to be starting on monday but I have felt so rough the last few days, I have hardly any sleep as ,my cough and sore throat has woken me up. Am ashamed to say i could not get past 5pm every night, but I am determind that tomorrow i will not let it get in my way. I am just annoyed...

I am just trying to cut the food down in general but she likes all the things I like, which is a downfall on her part. I hate having to say no to her. x They are fed the same things tho x

Hi vamapliciuos, i have the same problem, my daugther is seven and weighs 6 and a half stone, and she keeps telling me she needs to diet, some kids make fun of her cos she is not as small as them and it breaks my heart. It doesnt help that my older daughter eats the same as her and is as skinny...

oooh i like that, I will have a go at copying it x

I was in the same boat when i started orinially a few months ago. I had a BMI of just over 40 but my CDC said to give it one week and i should be below it anyway. Said to stick to ss+ but bascially just not tell her if i did ss. I lost 11lbs in the first week and that took me to just under 40...

Thats lovely news for xmas, congrats x

Hi hon, I know it sounds really obvious but you will have to try and talk to him. You will drive yourself mad though guessing and imagining all sorts. its not easy. I can see where you are coming from with sending him that message, it will be interesting to see how he reacts to someone messaging...

hi, yeah saturday sounds good to me. Ok here goes, I am 29, 5'2'' and am starting at 15st. My first aim is to lose 4 stone for my 30th in April. I have been dieting for as long as I remember, yet always seem to weigh more, so although I always think i am on one, i am never actually doing one lol :p

Yeah that sounds good to me. I would nominate myself but my organisation skills are not that fantastic, and I wouldnt want the team to fall behind x

You cut and paste it into your signature section on your profile, sorry its all slowly coming back to me x

Oh and it gives you something to cut and paste into your profile section, its quite a long thing.

I think i just went to tickerfactory.com. I did it quite a while ago, Have a look on that and see if that helps at all x

Hi x x this is so exciting, I hope this helps us all on our journey x

Hi all, this is day one again for me, for the last time. Am at work, which I thought would be easier but everyone has just decided to order the p word. So I am going to have my soup and then hide somwhere i think lol

I would like to join if there is still a space. Re starting today x

Thanks for all the kind words x x x

Thanks Beverley, I will give that a try x x

Hi, I have been doing cd for 5 weeks now after a few failed attempts, well more than a few, but something clicked this time and I found the willpower. My husband said he would help more at home ( I work 9-3 and have 2 girls aged 10 and 7 ) as he does nothing at the moment, but wants me to lose...

I did exactly the same. I have stuck to this now for five weeks and have lost 27lbs, I swear by the porridge. I think its because it doesnt remind me of all the times I tried before, Its something different, The same with the strawberry tetras. By having different things its doesnt feel the...

I find the only way I can do it is by using a STRAW x I can sit at my desk and still type whilst drinking a pint at a time, I find not having to glug it down helps. I swear by it x
