What a beautiful day!. Well extra water consumed during and after my walk as I am reminded of how unfit I am!!. Half an hour and I am panting back up the hill like I smoke 40 a day, which I have never ever smoked in my life lol x Note to self remember and fire the trainers in the car as sandals...

Gosh what a busy week at work and hadn't realised I hadn't posted for a while. A bit of an up and down week food wise, 3 days off plan so wasn't expecting a loss this week but 1.5 off so pleased overall. The backside has been self kicked and back on full plan again from yesterday. I really want...

I have had the Vibration plate for a good few years now and I do like it when I use it. (when its not a clothes hanger lol) I think its quite good for toning up. Mine has a hand bar for support and also attachable arm stretchers that you can use whilst on the plate. you can do various moves like...

Sounds like a good plan and well done on weight loss. It can be frustrating when the scales don't move. So been a good day today on the shakes and the water front, sitting about 4.5 litres. Spent the day wrapping up gifts for our lucky dip stall on Saturday and folding up raffle tickets!. I...

Thanks folks, been a couple days since on here, the dreaded weekend was upon me again! Well I have survived another weekend Yeahhh!! I had a bit of a stumble on Saturday with me succumbing to 3 pieces of KFC boneless chicken mini fillets...... but instead of throwing in the towel I savoured...

Freezing here today and needed some extra coffees to heat me up! Did not succumb to food though so pleased with that. A bit of a funny mood day today, bit low and weepy in morning and quite lethargic as well. Brightened up later on though. Think I have to blame some of it on hormones as I am...

Success day today on my last shake as I write and water which will take me up to 4 litres, probably squeeze in another 500 before bed. Worked a bit later today so no half hour house tidy session for me but will still do 20 minutes vibration plate. Couple people at work noticed I am not eating...

So good day today! 3 shakes and just over 4 litres water done. one bonus to being on the shakes I have a tidy house! Coming home from work and after walking the dog I find myself cleaning or hovering. Think if I do a room a night (only for about half an hour mind) then its a wee bit exercise as...

Well weigh day is here aaannnddd 11bs off!! I am over the moon, ecstatic, cheesy grin on my face delighted.

I wasn't sure whether to post or not as I have failed many times over the past few years at different attempts to lose weight. I didn't want this to be another 2 or 3 day stint then fail. But I have survived the dreaded first week (almost) and am on day 6 of plan. I have survived the dreaded...

Well I am moving to this thread from Today as I started Sole Source today. Another failed attempt at Slimming World behind me. My relationship with food is not good at the moment and I think that I need to take it out of the equation for a while. I'm hoping that by doing that I will start to...

Well good day food wise but crappy sore throat meant been up since 4am and not felt well all day :confused:. Didn't have breakfast as too uncomfortable but a few painkillers and some difflam sprays to numb the throat and was ready for some lunch. Had some left over quorn stirfry for lunch...

Well done on your weight loss your doing great x

Lol that sounds just like me I even bought a dress that I like in 2 sizes!! Used to be able to fit into the larger one and thought I will buy the smaller for when I lose more weight. Can barely do up the larger one at the moment!

Well ended on a good food day with a lovely stirfry, with quorn, mushrooms, beansprouts, onions, peppers, carrot and half nest noodles. Made extra for lunch tomorrow as well. Do people find that having carbs at both main meals has any impact on weight loss or slows it down? I am avoiding bread...

Its actually ridiculous the amount of clothes that I have that I cant wear lol. I have 2 single wardrobes and only about half of one has things that I can wear just now as I refuse to buy any bigger! My wardrobe ranges from a 14 to a 20!! Some with labels still on lol. I think I am going to...

Well just had a lovely omelette packed with mushrooms, onion peppers wafer thin ham and used sins for some grated cheese. Was lovely. Instead of sitting down for an hour after work, during which time I would snack on naughty things normally, I took Tara (my wee dog )out for a 20 min walk. Came...

Well done for getting back on track, stressful situations are awful for me too. Reach for comfort foods:( Sending good vibes for weeks ahead x

I haven't actually tried them but have read and heard some good reports. Got 5 different ready meals, some beefburgers, sausages and the potato and noodle salads. Not really a fan of ready meals but think to have on standby will be good if making something for hubby and son that I cant have x...

Thank you, am feeling a bit more positive now. Have just spent the rest of my lunch break on the Iceland shopping and have ordered a delivery for Friday, slimmingworld meals and salads to give them a go. Thinking having them even in freezer on standby will be good for weekend. x

Thank you Little MissNaughty and well done on your 6lb loss. That's great :). I do try to keep a food diary but forget at times, need to make it a habit I think. I have along ways to go but am trying to look at a stone at a time so it doesn't seem as daunting. I am also going to try and get on...

Well started the weight loss plan officially on the Monday 9th and had a bit of a mixed week. Not 100% on plan but some small changes made and probably about half week on plan if honest. Weighed this morning and 3.5lbs off. Maybe not the best start for a first week but heading in the right...

Your doing really well Sasha and just think of your journey like mine. We are taking the scenic route, with a few stops to admire the view on the way. I dont think i have ever managed to completely stick 100% at all times with any diet. We are only human after all and food is a pleasure to...

Lunch time with my strawberry shake. Not my most favourite flavour but still enjoyable. On target with my water with the third bottle nearly done. Haven't told anyone in work that I am back on the shakes as I feel that I will get the "Lets see how long this lasts looks". At least I can have my...

Sasha i don't find drinking the water too hard except when its freezing outside lol. When at work I use a 500ml bottle and refil it.

I am kind off an all or nothing kind of girl and I think that having several stone to lose, if I was to lose a pound a week or so I would lose the will to carry on lo. It would seem such a huge task. At least this way if I lose a bit quickly then see results for myself then I am more likely to...

Well done for not giving up. Its so easy to let one weak moment become the norm and for the weight to all pile on. The fact that you have managed to keep weight off is great and because you now have less to lose it will be harder. I am the same when I think about it when something is completely...

Well a much better day today. Had a rough day yesterday was so craving crisps and chocolate and ended up caving in and had a chunky KItKat:mad::sigh:. Felt really down with myself afterwards and despondant thinking I had ruined all my work over the past 12 days. But dusted myself off this...

Congrats on good first day. yeah I,m doing shake that weight for 12 weeks then will refeed then see if i can carry on maybe 4 week goes at a time until just above target weight. Thinking then may go to a club like weightwatchers to get to target then maintain and ensure that i eat healthily as...

Well done on your 10lb loss. Have you tried the Boullion drinks when your hungry? I used to take that if i felt hungry as smells foody? x

Well into day 5 now and so far so good. Just recieved my water flavourings through and trying the orange. Does anybody recommend a limit on how much to take as noted the cals in them. Thinking 2 or 3 max per day? Just to break up the water a bit. No headache this week so far but maybe its being...

I previously did lighterlife a few years ago and you could make crisps(of a sort) from soup sachet. I used them 2 or 3 times a week and with lots of cayenne pepper they were quite good. Can you do the same with exante soups?

Good luck Sarah and for your wedding day too x

It is hard when you are cooking for family. I have hubby and 2 boys that don't cook!! Only way I cope is not to give them any of my favourites or stuff that they like but I dont. No more home made Macaroni for a while lol xx Good luck to you too x
