Sorry all you fab ladies. I got distracted! I'm back and I'm off to update my first week's loss. It was 7.7lbs. I weighed in on Monday 12 January. Unfortunately, my birthday (46) was Tuesday the 13th so I had dinner and a sliver of cake which has showed up in the weigh ins so far since Mnday (I...

Fingers crossed for both of us! I'm being realistic as my weighin is at 4pm (last week was at 5pm)...anything above 6 lbs will be GREAT!

klee Thanks so much for writing! I'm thinking I've lost somewhere between 6 lbs and 8 lbs this week. I weigh in with CDC tomorrow afternoon at 4pm. Fingers crossed it's good news! We've both got approximately the same amount to lose so let's keep up with each other! We can do this!

Very motivating Lynseys....well done!

I just started Monday 5/1/15...well,t hat was my first weight in and I started the shakes on the Tuesday! We can do this!

Back again after such amazing success in 2010. Can't blame CD. It was a combo of things (if you're interested, please ask in private) which led me to regain the 5st7lb I lost and kept off for the better part of 2.5 yrs. Now I'm back after my first week of SS 100% (3 shakes/day, 4L water) and...

Hey ho, did Day 1-5 last week Monday-Fri then promptly ate and drank the weekend away...back on the chain gang. This isn't supposed to work like this! So today is Monday and back to the 2 shakes and 1 bar programme that works for me! Also 3L water!

wowwww excellent!! you are indeed v pretty!! i miss size 10!! i never tried running,,,,do u only run on treadmill?

I have thirty pounds to lose or more or less two and a half stone. Sickened as this is all weight I put back on! I'm 78.5kg want to get down to 65kg (or less!!)

Amazing results! Wow, way to go, you definitely look like a different person, especially the smile! Hoping you get to your goal! :) Good luck and keep with it!

Thanks, Maryam. I sorted it! :)

I'm back...just gotta figure out how to post pictures! :)

I was here in 2010/2011 and lost 5.5st. From 15.5st down to just over 10st. Well, after the two years of mostly keeping it off within a stone, I've now put two stone back on and I want to get it off asap. So I'm back on SS 100% for a few weeks. So, thanks for having me back and I'll try to...

Very motivating, Gg as per usual. Love the new social outings idea. It's one I should work on, too... I'm wondering what you think of hypnosis to make me want to exercise? See my post in the general CD forum? Please? I need an arse kicking.

I started on October 10. I've lost 44lbs on CD so far and lost 13 from Jan '10 - Oct '10. I've come so so far... I have another 15lbs to go until I get to my goal of 10st 3lbs. I have another 2/3 lbs to get to a 'normal' weight... It's getting harder because of my stubborn resistence to...

So, I didn't think I'd start until today but I was full of energy last night so did Level 1 last night. It wasn't as bad as I'd imagined but I didn't have weights so I didn't get the full workout. I'm hoping to buy weights today and complete Day 2!!

Thanks, Minimel! Yes, I'm in Ireland and thankfully, we've been spared the water problems. The worst problems were in Northern Ireland and I'm in the West of the Republic and so far, fingers crsossed, we've had no problems! We were totally unprepared on the roads for the snow and ice, though...

Finally lost the Christmas weight and a bit more! Hooray! 163.6lbs/74.2kg/11st 9.6lbs size 12

Doing well, thanks. I'm on week 11 and have lost 37lbs. The last 2-3 weeks have been a waste of time as my lowest weight was on Dec 14th and then up and down since then, tho as of today, I'm back to the weight I was on Dec 14th. I'm down from an 18/20 to a 12/14. I'd like to be an 8/10...so...

I'm hoping to start soon too...just waiting for it to be delivered. If I can do it for 30 days straight, I'm treating myself to a weekend away!

Thanks tessie..it's been some journey! I'm finally back to my lowest from Dec 14th and on day 3 of 100% and my head is throbby and I'm tired but it'll be better tomorrow and then back on the losing streak! My 30 day shred still not arrived and I'm hoping to go for the 30 days straight! Also...

Thanks this is what happens when you gain quickly from eating carbs. When you go back to 100% it falls off quickly again! I think I'm going to change goal to 14lbs!

Hi ms rumbly! Long time no see!! You're doing so well!!

Down to 164.9lbs so nearly the way there to losing the amount I gained. Hoping to lose a stone in January but that's fairly ambitious as I plan to start exercising too...

I'm waiting for the DVD now... waiting waiting... Back on 100% til I get a normal BMI...can't wait to see some results!

-3.1 of my 5.7lbs gain over the hols... would really like to lose a stone instead of the 10lbs I said in the challenge but that's a bit cheeky since I'm close enough to goal. Mumto1 lose 14lbs-2lbs lost-12lbs to go Bigmama lose 16lbs Cankles -16lbs - 3lbs lost - 13 lbs to go Chele - 12lbs -...

Lost 3.1lbs of the 5.7lbs I put on. I'm on Day 2 now...wasnt too bad last night as I just had so much water and 3 packs. Back to 3 packs and water for me until further notice. I gained a net of 1.5lbs this week but that doesn't include the fact I had lost more but then gained it all back. This...

Wow a 9lbs loss! Gotta love CD... Down to 167 now so nearly all the weight loss that I gained! I really hoped to get out of the 160s over the 2 week holidays from work (I'm a teacher) but it's not happening! Unless I can lose 8lbs in the next week!

I'm back in the chaingang again from today too. I put on 5.7lbs from messing about since Dec 17th. I'm the same weight now as I was on December 14th so that's about 3 weeks of wasted work! I'm back on SS 100% from today. I was thinking of drinking on the girly night out on Friday night but I'm...

I'll throw my hat into the ring. Being so close to my goal and close to a normal BMI there's no way I can lose a stone in a month so I'm going to go for 10lb loss by Jan 31. I had a fairly big gain for the last 2 weeks (5.7lbs) because of the 'festive season' so the 10lbs loss would be more...

Hi cheryl! Well, it's a sad tale I tell but I ate and a lot of salty foods and booze though not overdoing it and I've put myself back into the early 12st! :*( Gain of 5.7lbs so I'm back to where I was on December 14th so today is day one of 100% and no more making exceptions to eat. I'm going...

Finally down 50lbs in total...... yay! I'm at 11st 10.5lbs down and looking forward to getting out of the 11st mark!

75.1kg thanks, SS+!

Um...after some upping and downing......from the Christmas eating, I'm now 75.8kg. Need to get back into the lower 70s. Back under the 12st mark, too, but just barely. Amazing how fast you can gain it if you go off the rails! Back on track today!

I'm down again this morning. Isn't 100% great. Now, I did have salad yesterday with chicken and some grilled veg but nothing carby. So, yay! Down to 11st 11.8lbs

2.5st down! I've now lost 35.5lbs since October 20th and in a size 12 mostly. I am of this morning, 166.9lbs so I'm hoping to lose another 5lbs minimum in December, bringing me down to 161.9lbs by January 1st. Given the time of year that is in it, 5lbs in 9 days is quite ambitious but what the...

bella: no link on last post. How're you keeping? I'm doing okay, I had 4 days of one meal a day (a largish one) to get ready for my xmas party on Friday and then the day after I had to eat, too... nothing overdoing it, but enough to bring me out of ketosis and make me feel a bit urgh in my tum...

I ended up wearing this dress...bought, in typical fashion at 6pm the day before the party!

*Shanny* Oh. God. I drank waaay too much. It was mayhem. Now I know the Irish are known for knowing how to have a good time but the one meal a day regimen (with 2 shakes) did not prepare me for drinking. I was okay on just Bacardi and Diet 7up but then I had a shot of tequila and sambuca and...

Down a respectable 3.5lbs this week and not bad for the 8th week of CD... Was really hoping to get under the 12st mark and under the 170's but as of this morning (no BM -- sorry TMI) I'm 12st 2.2lbs and 170.2lbs...so close-------yet so far! I'm hoping the size 14 fits! It's not arrived yet...

This has to be the last time. I can't do it again. I need to get the fitness thing going, too...that's what actually makes you look good instead of a skinny fat person (i.e. flabby skin, etc)...

I've gained and lost the same 4 or 5st so many times. It's torture seeing yourself put it back on and kowing it's so much worse the next time around.

Good videos... I'm hoping to get the exercise going by New Years! Turbo Jam is going to be great, just 20 min for the first few weeks and then 45 min after that. Just 3x a week and it'll do wonders for my flab! Which seems to be particularly flabby today! Yuck.

You'll get there Tessie! I'm sure of it! Yes, you shoujld wear those dresses when you're young! We'll have to make sure to take photos of ourselves in our dresses. I'm planning on doing a before-during pic on the night! I'm having to drink water that is mostly very warm because the cold...

That is stunning! Unfortunately after 2 kids and weight loss/gain my boobies don't stay up unless I've got straps so all those 1sthoulder and dresses w/no straps don't work. I'd love that dress on me! JEALOUS!

Glad to hear you''re on the mend, tessie. You'll get back on 100% in January and the weight will fall off. Just don't go mad over the hols and keep your portion sizes smallish. xx

Thanks, so much tessie. I've been out of the forums for a while just very busy at work. I'm so glad you stopped by! Must go check out your journal.

Good plan, Shanny. You've so little to lose and look so AMAZING already. Just remember not to eat like a naturally thin person-- you'll need to get back on track and limit your portions anyway, because you don't need massive volumes of food to get the taste/satisfaction. This is what I'm...

Thanks, Sahnny!

Down to 12st 3.7lbs but it's all a bit skewed as I'm fairly bad at pooping lately and not taking all my water like I should. Off to grocery story to get stuff and then back for more goofing off tme and xfactor!

I was interviewed on the telly and I didn't look REALLY REALLY fat just chubby or pleasingly plump or something! Hooray! Wow the camera does add 10lbs though!

Well done Bella on the transformation! I hope you can stick to it. I'm terrible at exercising! I plan to start over the hols when I've 2 weeks off and will be doing TurboJam...(at least that's the plan)...

Thanks, bella. It's remaining hectic! The weight loss is slowing down though I'm remaining more and more 100%. I think it's the fact I'm not pushing the water into me. I'm finding it increasingly harder to do because of the cold days. Today we're having hot mince pies at work w/ cream for a...

Beat that goal...I'm now 12st 3.7lbs with another week to go! I'd like to be cheeky and say I'd like to be under 12st by Friday (one week from today) but I'm not sure it'll work!

Thanks, Gg! I'm thrilled. I think it's now that it starts to get hard with the holidays around the corner and people starting to notice... Can't let myself get cocky as I still have another 2.5ish stone to lose!

Hooray! I'm just thrilled and had to share! So, other milestones... under 12.5st 2st lost in size 14 over half way there...... 3 BMI points from healthy 4.6 BMI points lost

Rumbly, darling... Please my ass to kick for doing ZERO exercise so far, despite it being on my list of goals... Ta ta! :)

2 stone down in the 7th week! Hooray!

leeds, you can do this ! Don't give up! I'm so much better for not having given in so far. I mean, I've had some 'blips' but bar one time, nothing too damaging. I'm hoping to get down to 11st 7lbs by December 31...that'd be a stone in the month. Hard but I think I can!

I love reading your diary and catching up. I've been fairly busy the last week but mostly keeping on track and my head is kinda sorta in the right place. A few niggling issues that it would be great to chat to you about some time in person, so we'll have to get together in the new year! XX...

Well...here I am... I'm a bit busy lately and not on line much... It's the First Day of December... I made my goal in the November of 14lbs/1st... On to the next monthly challenge of another stone in December!

Thanks, Gg, in large part to the support of yourself and others, I've kept my head screwed on straight! I'm 0.2lbs away from the November stone deadline so i hope I can lose it by tomorrow morning! :) Things are better at work today and feeling a bit more confident in myself and not so...

Sorry, I've been MIA...just catching up now...like I said, it's been a very hellish week work-wise and facing into another one tomorrow is making me feel anxious and it's only 9.30am on Sunday morning! I have to learn to do what's right for me and damn the begrudgers. Not everyone is going to...

Hi Shanny and Rumbly..still chugging away at it. Not expecting miracles this week and would be happy with a 2lb loss... Finding this week okay enough. I was out before the theatre (my daughter was in Wizard of Oz) with kids at Eddie Rockets, chips, onion rings, etc...I got a cobb salad which...

Thanks, bella... I'm about half way there, it's been a long road and I coudln't have done it without your encouragement so thank you !

Thanks so much, bella for the encouragment. It's not been an easy few days, all right, but hopefully it'll all end tomorrow at the staff meeting. I'm glad I hopped back on the programme and am now down to 81.1kg. I had really hoped to get under the 80kg threshhold this week but I'm not sure...

Well done, bella on not caring about people at hte gym. You're there with a purpose and feck them! I've been MIA for a few days with a very very stressful time at work. More details of it in my diary if you're interested (or even if you're not)! :) I had a major binge, just mindless putting...

Thansk guys it's ongoing. Unfortuntely I had a massive binge yesterday and threw it all up (bad!)... Back on track today though worse for the wear though this level of stress and anxiety is burning up the calories at a rate of knots! You're all so good to comment and ask after me. Nice to know...

Had a ***** day ladies so I'm just popping in to say hi and bye. Maybe tomorrow I'll be in better form. For now, I just want to try primal scream therapy but directed at a colleague! Chats tomorrow!

I'm very proud of you, doll! Welld one on the positivity and acting on what you know and feel is the best hting for you. I, on the ohter hand, had a really rotten day (not food wise, just generally) so I've not had a chance to write back but I will when I get my head clear...the work issue has...

What an absolute ***** day that was. Ugh. I weighed w/ cdc and her scales showed a 4.25lbs loss after 6 days. I drove home after work full of steam as a really unpleasant confrontation at work has left me feeling vulnerable, raw and very very angry. (It's justified)... So, I had a peanut bar...

Oh, let me clarify: In my own head, I'm a terrific experimental and fantastic lover. In reality of married life-- it's very mechanical. When I was very thin, I would walk into a pub (very crowded in Ireland on a Friday night) and feel people check me out (male and female). Now, I am...

Well my ideas of my own gradiosity when I'm thin/boobs done/etc are a major issue. I can't feel comfortable in my own skin, no matter what size. I'm doing a bit of body/relationship/sexual counselling. Had to stop because of cost but will pick back up in the new year, I'm hoping. It's not...

Exactly, Gg..however, and this is a big however: I am aware that there are men who are more demonstrative with their appreciation of their partner's figure... I've never been with a man like that. A man who genuinely worships the female form in a way that is understandable to me. I've learned...

Mainly the fantasising thing..imagining scenarios where I'm totally hot and have the world at my feet. It's a bit disturbing, but I think elements of this apply to me: Narcissistic personality disorder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In order for a person to be diagnosed with narcissistic...

Well, the thing I'm doing differently regarding losing it--it's going for speed. Losing it as quickly as possible. What makes it different? I'm hoping it's a bit more insight into why I gained back (I think I went onto a list of them on a thread). 1. I stopped logging into weight loss site...

D'oh...RumblyTums, all the talk of shopping made me lose the run of myself! :)

It's all in my crazy-head! All the time. One thing I'm going to do is stop fantasizing about tomorrow, next week, when I lose weight...and focus on today. Not wasting today.

Brilliant transformation. Well done! Hoping to get a pic like that one day very soon!

Look, it's not going to be easy, but you will have done it and once and for all, you'll have gotten rid of back fat. I actually wasn't feeling too fat today then caught a glimpse of myself in the shop window and saw the overhang over my bra strap. Argh... I still have about 3st to lose so I'm...

Thanks, toots. I might have to print and hang around me!

I'm worse. Once every 2 min I'd say. I could've invented a teleporter in the amount of time I've spent thinking about weight/diet/planning/obsessing/crying, etc... Time so wasted. Yes, I do feel I'm 2nd best. No matter how clever, how funny, how talented I might be, it's always kind of...

Fair play to you. I did some shots of myself like that, too...it's such a good starting point and a real reminder of where you've come from when you reach your goal. Keep at it, kimmie, you'll get there!

1. It's not anyone else's fault you're feeling this way. You're not stuffing your emotions and finding solace with food. This isn't easy. Don't take it out on those who love you and whom you love. They don't deserve it. 2. You are not an evil/bad/unmitigated disaster of a person for having...

Gg, we have SO MUCH to talk about. I give you free reign to knock my head into the nearest wall when we meet; I have a similar type situation myself in some ways, only it's not romantic. Yes, I did a pot of stew, spag bol, frozen and thawing out, etc...does help but it's 3 full days/nights...

Yow! That's some loss...I can't wait, as I had about 50 to lose when I started CD...can't wait to look better.

Hah, at the risk of sounding unpleasant, what is in there mightn't be far off toxic nuclear sludge. Something you might see in a futuristic sci fi thriller starting Denzel Washington. Meanwhile, Gg, I'm thinking about what you said. I think I've got it cracked...update later when I've thought...

I'm not sure you can be friends in that circumstance. I've tried it; it doesn't work. He's getting what he needs (a shoulder to cry on, someone to listen/relate to him, someone who knew him 'before' the major life upheaval)...what are you getting? If you bring all those feelings you described to...

Youre such an inspiration. I've just spent the last hour treating my family like **** because I'm grouchy hungry and pissed off I can't have snack junk chocolate. Grrr at myself.

Actually shopping in Athlone is pretty good. Will have to wait until I am a size that is worth shopping n will fit into the shops. There's h n m and zara. ;) both run teeeeny. Defo let's do shop/spa trip tho!! Sorry for hijack!

Was thinking the same thing! The last time I drove to Wexford it took 6hrs. Roadworks, the new road wasn't built and the GPS which had me going around in circles! We could meet in the middle. Where would that be?

Sometimes, I think it would be easier to be a bit oblivious to the vibe from others. People like that have the benefit of taking what people say at face value and not reading too much into the slightest action. I have kind of a public profile element to my job and it's very overwhelming at...

So, I was thinking about how/when I started caring so much what other people think of me (looks, my work, personality, if I'm a good mum/person/friend)...some people, my husband being one, don't really care what most people think of them. They only care what the people who they...

So close to your target. Bravo for sensible eating and no boozing! An example to us all on moderation and stopping when you're full. I'm not having a food-based social function at all this year as our holiday party is at a pub with just finger food. I've decided to eat a few pieces of it (i.e...

I want meat meat and more meat. Big huge chunks of it, please! Also veg...

My husband lasted ONE DAY on a protein shake (spirutein) and 2 avg meals with no sweets. He lasted less than 24hrs. He couldn't drink more than 1.5L of water either. I've found since his little experiment, he's far more supportive and does most of the cooking when he's home and the weekly...

You're doing great. Just up the water as much as you can today and then stop drinking around midday tomorrow or 1pm so you can pee it all out by weigh in! Keepup the momentum!

Great picture, girlies! I'd love to have someone nearby doing CD, too! No such luck for me!

Clearage clear. If I can make it through CD without the assistance of a plumber, I'll be impressed!

Beautiful dress...I found Monsoon runs big, not small. I'm 5'6" and at 10st 3lbs, I fit into a Monsoon 10...bodies/sizes are so variable! I think you would fit into a 14! You're looking smashing!!

Stunning after photos! Well done! :) Like the pins, wow!

Well done! I think she said she did WW! How long did it take? What's your GW?

I liked the bars, but didn't like the stalls they made me have... I'm ignoring all the food references because it's just not a time for me to even contemplate talking about food. I met a friend for a coffee...I had a very large salad (about 10x more than the allowance for add a meal!) with...

Looking good...great change of shape! keep up the hard work!

Sounds very fun. I'd love to have a shopping spree girlie style! Psst...nearly half way there!

Felix Ended up watching it with all our kids at a friends but it's not the same when there are 6 kids all commenting and making noise! Down to 81.7kg/180.1lbs/12st 12.1lb today. Was really hoping to get out of the 180s today but it didnt' happen. My weigh in with CDC is on Monday (she's away...

My hubs taken my daughter to drama and then he'll do the shopping with son too. So home alone! I've got an appt booked for gel nails refill and eyebrow threading at 4pm today and nothing else planned. I should probably do a bit of laundry and housework but my throat is still sore and I'm just...

Yes moley me too only 20mos with each child plus gaining and losing so much weight. I was to the plastic surgeon for mole removal and asked him to give me his opinion and he did some measurements etc and said I am defo a candidate for having them done and might have to get small implants once...

Let us know how you got on tess! Good luck...ouch earache!

How's your ahem blockage? 810 seems doable...why are you considering not doing it?

A big red circle, bella! I agree re: shoes.. The sexier the better!! :) You did well not to let the gym thing get to you It's not easy when you feel you're being judged when you already feel so vulnerable in your own skin. Re: hubby and kids and cooking It's not easy. they are healthy...

For me, it's teh same about the c-section/hysterectomy shelf. It's like a ledge you could rest your pint on. Well, not so much anymore... Also, another big one for me is the whole area of um...intimate relations. I would say in another 1.5st I might allow a nightlight. In another 2.5st, the...

Mine have been going down 3cm a year for the past decade...they'll eventually reach my knees!

Where have you been? Just wanted to say hi and great for sticking mostly to plan while not at home!

I just checked it out. According to carbcounter, the bacardi adn diet 7up is zero carbs. I'm not too worried about it as it'll be a planned night off programme and it'll be just the one night. I'll get merry/pissed on very few drinks, as I've not drank in AAAAages (even before CD)... I used to...

I'm having a decaf but really REALLY really really REALLY want my 'usual' drink which is: ice Bacardi (not dark) lime cordial (roses) Diet 7up How bad would this be if I left out the lime cordial? I wonder how many G of carbs that is...must suss it out! I actually am okay on the food...

Down to 12st 13lbs now so I have about 4 more weeks to lose 6lbs. Should be doable. I will not, however, be buying a new dress as I have one in mind to wear. It might be too sexy for a casual work do, but I'll post piccies and let the audience decide! :) On track now to exceed the Xmas party...

Well done, Lisa! Keep up the hard work and we'll wind up with results like shanny's! :)

Good one! I like it!

I don't really want to reduce mine; I just want my boobs to not hitchhike towards the sides when I lay down. Also, I want the nipples to point at least outward and a bit upwards! Not downwards. They're great in a bra, but fall nearly to the bellybutton w/ no bra. I'm going to have a lift if I...

Very good vibes being sent your way. Don't beat yourself up; just change your behaviours and thinking from this moment onwards. Big hugs! Rest, sleep, water and get back in the game on monday.

chele, well done on skipping the wine and the takeaway, though it sounds tempting, you'll have undone some of your hard work. A sick baby on its' own is a struggle and then to lose a close family member. You must be having a tough time. I wish I could teleport you a caramel bar but I didn't...

Same here. It's a sustainable lifelong eating programme for me as I can cook/eat with the kids (minus the carbs) and you can at least socialise. It's stuff I like too. I could leave spuds and pasta and even bread, but it's the rice I miss. I will have small qtys of brown rice occasionally w/ a...

Cheekbones I'd kill for. I'll do more pics tomorrow when hub is home to take them! I'll try on some of the clothes in the wardrobe to see if anything new fits, too!

tessie! So glad you're back with us. I missed you! Yes, will ask CDC as I see her this week on Monday instead of the usual day on Tuesday! I'll take her the TF product and see what she says!

Thanks, shanny! It's nice to know someone out there reading! How're you getting on yourself?

Ahhh, shoes...shoes....the sluttier the better. The only reason I don't own these is I don't have €775. Product zoom | NET-A-PORTER.COM Yes they are Jimmy Choos. Yes, I will buy them when I win the Lotto tonight. Oh, I mean the EuroMillions! For the record, I also don't have €1650 for...

Thanks so much, guys. I'm really chuffed. I had my planned 'meal' out tonight. There was a big salad with 'cajun chicken' which was merely chicken breast wtih a light dusting of cajun spices (I checked) lettuce spring onion and cucumber. I didn't remember to ask them for no dressing but it was...

Also under the 13st mark (okay only by 1lbs but every lb counts)... Is my diary really boring or something? No one seems to read it! :(

Hooray is right. You look STUNNING in your new profile picture...Wow!!

Well, this moday morning I finally broke a 6/7 day stall. I'm now 21lbs down which is 1 and a half stone off! Also, I am under the 13st mark at 12st 13lbs! Whoo hooo... Onwards and downwards... I was 100% yesterday, took 2 Dulcolax (bad idea, very rumblytummy and feeling horrible--got no...

Belle: Well done on the ice cream! That's a big achievment. What do you mean something happened at the gym? Like something good or bad or what? It's hard to keep your head in the game all the time. Yesterday I was 100% and it was the first day I hadn't craved/nibbled and I am down over a...

Lost a stone and half (21lbs exactly) in 4.5 weeks! Yay!

You're a very insightful woman. Well done on really thinking it through and not diving headlong into a self-destructive spiral of eating/bingeing/self-loathing. Inspiring.

Congratulated you on your other thread re: 2.5st in 8 weeks! Don't worry about hte meal with hubby. Decide what youa re going to have and not have and just enjoy it! I'd go for fish if I were you and a massive salad and/or steamed veg and just enjoy. I can't wait to get to 2st! (at 20lbs now)

Feckin' hell, woman! Did you chop off an appendage? Well done! So motivating. I'm on 20lbs at 4.5 weeks so hopefully I'll be right behind you!

-20lbs as of this morning! Hoooray!

100% so far today. Feeling fairly committed. Had my chocolate tetra and 2L of water so far, 3 coffees and some extra hot water. Will have a soup later tonight and that's it! Ta-da! Again my husb is gone for 3 days/nights this week so I'm going to have to be creative about the kids dinners...

I'm drinking the water, I think I just need to stick to the programme. My CDC said I can have add-a-meal (a 200cal meal) if I want this week but I think I'm going to stick to just packs/soups this week. The tough thing about this week is that I have to cook b/f lunch and dinner for the kids...

Welcome, Caroline. I look forward to seeing you shrink!!

Gg- We have an awful lot in common.We should talk in more detail... it's really eerie reading your post that the binge/antecedent and consequences and how you bury it all and the cognitive dissonance is so much like my own, it's so scary. Makes me feel better myself knowing I'm not alone. I'd...

Any pink but not too dark. I'm pink and have been but have only lost very nominal amounts in the last week.Not sure why...logic tells me if I'm eating 400-500 cals a day, I should be losing at the rate of knots but it's not happening which perplexes me!

Amazing! 17lbs in 2 weeks...wow... I had a 1.5lb loss this week so fairly tee'd off... this was week 4 for me! Hoping to lose a stone by my works do, too! good luck to us!

My favourite is a colleauge of mine who did WW with me once. We both ate the same lunch, agreed to eat the same dinners (roughly) and went to meetings together. She said that WW didn't work. She was gaining. She was 'eating more than she usually eats' which is her explanation for gaining. She...

Wow, talk about inaccuracy! I think for me, it's important to weigh daily. It's a ritual and I use an entire very complex spread sheet to record the losses in lbs/kg/st-lbs and size etc...I find it keeps me real. Get a refund!

Well...all I have to say is salami and cheese. I'm drawing a line.......this is me drawing a line. So, I'm fairly confident I can get down another stone by xmas! Can't wait. Tried on a size 14 MEXX dress I wore in Feb 2008 and I wasn't able to close it (it's like a snap shirt dress) so it's...

Great weight loss for week 2, Felix! Fair play...working hard! That's a lot of inches lost, too....

xKimmiex Lipsy runs very small! I was a size 10 in other shops and had to buy a size 14 in Lipsy. So, the moral of hte store is, wait to buy it in a smaller size because even if it's your size, their sizing is so weird! I love Lipsy, too...

Oooh, this is so exciting.He's going to fall over when he sees you so have the emergency services number to hand! Love both outfits! Super work. You can defo lose another 10lbs by the time he gets here. Just think of it each time you go to pick or nibble!

I'm going 2 shakes and add-a-meal for Christmas eve/Christmas Day/New Year's Eve/New Years day... I can't lie. I plan on getting pissed at my work party on Dec 17 so will do meals for the 3 days prior.

Thanks, shanny. Not feeling strong! Down 1.5lbs this week. Ugh...was hoping for a bit more but what ya gonna do? That's an avg of 4.6lbs/week or 2kg. At that rate, I'll be down to 73kg/161lbs/11st 7lbs by Christmas week. Nothing to laugh at though I'm not sure I can keep that average up!!

-1.5lbs this week for a total of 18.5lbs in 4 weeks!

I can't wait for my pants to fall down! How often does one hear that!

Well done, Sammy...why'd you buy work clothes when you were losing? :) I am really looking forward to seeing your updates! You look great! Way to gooooo!!

Well done Chele! And welcome. I do weigh everyday and plan to do so forever and ever and write it down because it keeps me honest and real. Sometimes, however, like today, with the sixth day of the same weight (well down .3kg), it can be very disheartening but I'd hate to stay the same and not...

Ugh...had a load of chicken when my family had roast chicken. It's just chicken, right, I fooled myself into thinking. No spuds, no carrots etc...but still. CHICKEN. What a self-destructive thing to do as my W/I is tomorrow...aw well, here are what the triggers were for me: 1. A very...

Down a paltry 1lbs so far this week but not giving up. This will not defeat me! Back to work!

mine...dream dream I love ruching and it loves me! I also like the detail at the centre of the dress...it's from Asos. I'm also mad about this dress: Go here: Edun | Double-layer organic cotton dress | NET-A-PORTER.COM to see how the dress looks on...it's magnificent! And very...

LeaV, I'll keep you on the straight and narrow! Good luck on Day one of new job and new diet! :)

Seriously, though... Yay, we're going to both be so hot by then, we'll melt our husband's eyeballs!

I have to PM you to show you what the ex looks like first...then you'll see if it's me who will be drooling! He's on FB... will PM...

Good luck and don't let yourself give up, especially the first week!

Well done, nicki! You're hubby will be so amazed. What stage of weight loss will you be when he sees you for the first time... all things going well until then, of course. Can you take a video of this? I love this kind of mushy stuff. I'd love to see his jaw go, "Oh. My.God!" I'm hoping for a...

No worries, Felix. Imagine if your CDC was like that, you'd feel like you had to have full make up and hair done for a w/i! My body thinks 13st is so cosy it wants to stay there. Just hoping for Tuesdays weigh in to be out of the 13st range! Fingers crossed but that's 2.3lbs in 2 days, v...

Wow, leeds, great loss at 7lbs and 1lb on a week with a blip. Just keep yourself targeted and focussed on your goal. I found writing the number (whatever your target it or whatever amt you still have to lose) all over. On your PC, on the fridge, on the bickie drawer, on your wallet (when you go...

I'm in awe. 150lbs, that's incredible. I'll have to cop myself on next time I whinge about having so much to lose! You're a true inspiration ! You'll have to post pics too at your goal!

Stick with it, jill, it's so worth it!

Same weight/same height but I'm 41! I was 14st 6lbs on Oct 20 and now, on Nov 14 (less than a month) I'm 18lbs down to 13st 2.3lbs so it can be done! Stick with it and don't give up or give in to the urge to eat (unless you're on an eating plan that is!)... You can do this!

I feel that way myself sometimes and it seems I've been in the 13stones for AAAaaages and I thought for sure I'd be out of them this week but it's not to be, sadly! Let's just think how great it is the number is not climbing higher and higher!

Wow! You've done incredibly well. I'm so impressed (and jealous!:D) You're amazing!

I'd probably look ridiculous at 9st 7lbs but I'm willing to take that chance! :)

You've a stone to go! Woooo!

Thanks, leeds, it doesn't feel like that as I've STS for 5 days! Won't be much of a loss this week but I'll suck it up as I had a big loss in week 3 and 17lbs in 3 weeks is nothing to sniff at! I'd love to get down under 10st,just to be in the single digits for the first time in my adult life!

Oh, wait, no, she's not my CDC! She's just a girl I saw on youtube! :) My CDC is a much older woman but lovely, too!

Did my measurements and have lost 11.5in all over since 20th of October! Wow!

You've lost almost 2 stone. That's incredible! I like the sound of 'under 10st'... my diary has a pic of me at 10st 3 and i can still see room for improvement! I might never be happy but the 10st mark is a line in the sand I guess. Like, when I'm at goal and weighing in, if I go over it, I...

Just wondering about people's goal weights... Here are my details: Gender: Female Height: 5'6" Goal weight: 10st 3lbs (though I'm thinking of changing to 9st 7lbs) Yours?

Hope you and the boyfriend have a nice reunion. He'll be so proud of you for staying on track! Well done!

Welp. Another day at that damn 83.6kg on the scale. It's not broken as I called the children from their cartoons to weigh them to make sure they didn't weigh 83.6, too! Ha! Well, I've totally gone off the bars as I'm sure they're not gelling well with my body and make me feel funny in my tummy...

Oooh, Jamaica in January.Sounds so wonderful. I'll be Getting Rained on in Galway. Not so nice. I like the text idea, too.I'd never do that because I know I'd get sniggered and loads of nonsense thrown at me about how this isn't ood for you ... neither is being 5st overweight!

I'm currently obsessed with steak. This makes me certain I'll be goign on Atkins after I get to goal.

I forgot to say I did the wardrobe readjustment. It was great, tried on loads and that was my work out for the day! Now all that is in my closet either fits me or will fit me in the next three months! Onwards and downwards!

I'm developing a disturbing crush on One Direction. :) I think Cheryl is too..did you see how she was smiling and gushing at them? :) Wow, seriously, Rebecca is one talented lady and so so pretty! --------- Well, leaving that minor XFACTOR comment aside, today wasn't too bad. I'm going to...

Well done, girls! Totally impressed. I've seen the 30 day shred and also that mad thing called PX90...no thanks. I'm with you in spirit but will be starting Turbo Jam (Cardio Party) three times a week tomorrow. Doign just the 20min training video until I get some level of fitness then move on...

Yes, I think this is a bigger job than I'm ready for. The last time I did a wardrobe clear out, I was so p*ssed off with my fatness that I fecked all the clothes into two suitcases summer/winter/shoes of all sizes from 10-20 mixed in together. Not sure I'm up for this challenge today. Hub home...

Wow, Rosie. You've been on some journey... I'm the same with reading the journals all about food. I'm due to go onto add a meal next week (week 5) but i'm going to do just SS+ not 810 as I still have a big chunk of weight to lose..

Thanks so much for posting on my thread... Feeling much more positive today though still in denial about my friend leaving. Off for a shower and maybe a shopping trip IN MY OWN WARDROBE!

None of my business but isn't your goal BMI in the unhealthy underweight range?

Thanks, miss-r! You're very kind! I decided to update my ticker and profile to include all the weight loss since Jan '10. I've been on SS 100% for less than a month!

Thanks LRO! It's a brighter day today!

Interesting. I have an observation... Location: At the Centra (convenience store) checkout Time: 3pm Characters: Me and this guy called Fred (and the check out clerk who I am sure reported me to the Garda (police) after I left I was stood at the check out getting the basics for the kids...

Now 13st 2.3lbs...need to get down 12st 7, so that's 9.3lbs to go...have another 5 weeks to do that...less than 2lbs a week... losing a bit of motivation now but must keep it up! In my own secret way, I'd like get down to 12st even on December 17 for the party...wouldn't that be nice! I'm...

At least that's one good thing about having our Sky out from teh storm-- no food adverts! Silver lining. :) You don't need pizza. But I do!

That was sh i te. See this day is such sh i te, I can't even say sh i te when I want to!

I actually prefer diet coke and diet 7up! Go figure! Seriously, though, we were supposed to go up to our neighbours for a bit of a chat and I can't really go because I know they'll have crisps, pizzas for the kids and I'll just have water and today, just right now, I'd rather stay here and fall...

I needed a boost of motivation so thanks for being so positive! I hope you and hub have a good time away. Sometimes even a night away is like a holiday. I could certainly use a few days away from the grind, but I'd rather go to a posh hotel...just me, lots of telly, the fluffy bathrobes, big...

Same. I had 3 bars and I found they brought on food cravings and desires. Also,...I have STS or gained for 3 days so no more bars for me. I'm okay with that. I did, however, eat regular food last night but no carbs. You're doing so well, rumbly. When will you make the switch?

Thanks, kirsty was not easy. I'm a HUGE fan of rice and none more so than Iranian rice. There were three kinds of rice... And a cold potato/egg/pea/chicken salad that I adore... I had a small teaspoon of it but I'm afraid between that and the bars, I've brought myself out of ketosis and back...

Haha! Well, I went to a Persian celebration and I ate. Nothing over the top, but I did, no straight carbs but it's a once in a very rare while thing I get to have Persian food, so... I was up 2lbs this morning! Think it's because I didn't have enough water yesterday or the day before and the...

Thanks!

Great LMS! I've lost 17lbs and just finished my 3rd week. You can see my stats on my profile. I've only gone off 100% 2 times and they were fairly minor blips...feeling good...have to incorporate exercise SOON as I'm using a lot of excuses instead of just doing it! I would highly recommend...

I don't mind xmas decorations! They remind me that by then I'll be wearing a smaller size! I didn't think we were allowed diet drinks (or any fizzy except water) on CD?

Thanks, rumbly! You're doing amazingly well too! If I can keep up a steady weight loss, I'll have it off by new year!

Thanks guys. Got it last year at Wallis sale last year for €15! Thrilled as my 10 yr old daughter just got lead in class play Alice in Wonderland! Thrilled for her as she struggles academically n this will really boost her confidence!

That would be me!

5 lbs down this week! Yay! 17 in total! 1 st 3lbs down!

determinator: 14lbs in one week! That's one stone in one week! Good god, woman, what did you do? Get worms? And if you did, can I have one? :) felix: I know, it's great to go shopping in my own wardrobe. I put away all my 16s, 14s, 12s, 10s and 8s in my son's room so I'll have to rifle through...

Thanks, shanny...I'm so glad to be out of 18s anyway! I don't think that skirt really fits me, though. It was painfully tight at the waist just now after I had my shake, coffee and water!

Yeah, I'm a more intense weightloss...for me, it's all the maintenance that's the challenge. I have an okay time losing it. I am down below the obese cut off now which is nice and I'm waering a size 14 skirt, tho I know it's tight and not all 14s would fit me, but it is encouraging to me...
