Not posted for a while. Am roughly the same weight as I was when I last was here but have come back as I really need to get motivated and the support on here is great. Hope everyone is doing well :)

Back from my holiday on saturday, got on the scales and I was nearly a stone heavier!!! but I will say the weight has just been falling off. I think maybe a lot of it was fluid as I swell up a lot when I fly for some reason?? Three pounds to lose and I will be back to my pre holiday weight. did...

They probably base the amount of meals you should get by it being completely level on the scoop and not a slight dusting of powder over that. All those tiny weeny bits add up. I'm surprised they didn't come back with something like that lol

Another pound off at last. Interestingly I measured myself yesterday and my bust and waist measurements haven't changed but I do carry all my weight in the lower half of my body. Lost a lot from my shoulders hips and legs and people do notice. Also my love handles are considerably smaller! lol

I'm on Tesco Ultra Slim but recently switched to almond milk and I really like it.

Well done!! :D x

Not been around as so many family meals etc but been good again and back down to what I was when I last posted after lots of ups and downs :) Off on holiday for ten days on wednesday so will try and be good but it will be hard I know.

I prefer Ultra Slim. I blend it up with ice and it makes a really nice shake :)

You are doing really well :) Love holidays and adore Greece! Where are you off to? I'm off to Slovenia next month for 10 days. Would have been Greece but this is a special holiday to remember my mum who passed away 25 years ago. She loved Slovenia :) Sister went to Greece yesterday. Much better...

I actually did go and sit in the shed! lol!! I keep tortoises and have a big shed set up for them with a little chair for me so you were rather spot on! FINALLY another pound off but for how long who knows! Family meal tomorrow night. The plan is to have a starter and no pudding as I'm not...

Just been reading how you're getting on and you're doing brilliant! Well done you! :D

Well I had a Mcdonalds and a ton of popcorn and no gain so am really pleased. In laws are coming tonight armed with fish and chips!! I am being good and eating before they come and shall disappear when they dish up or I will steal chips! LOL!! Wish me luck! lol

You have done brilliant so far! Good luck with the midnight munchies! My husband has a habit of putting the biscuit tin next to the teapot. I am a teaoholic so a nightmare for me! I keep shoving it in the cupboard lol

Sounds like you are doing really well! Well done :)

Thanks Julia :) You will get there. I have said for years that I need to lose weight and it just kept creeping on but I don't think I was in the right frame of mind. It isn't as easy as people think and it's easy to just think sod it! when nothing seems to work. Good luck :) You can do it...

Finally another pound off but I am determined. Actually I got given a slice of cake last night, I know I didn't have to eat it but I did so was really pleased this morning. Apart from that I have been good....I think! lol

Other people and takeaways are a nightmare! Now when my husband says he's getting one I leave him and the kids to it and go and have a bath or something and cake testing? That would be a killer for me! lol My weight has gone up and down and then up again! I was having lots of sod it moments when...

We all have nights like this and it's no fun going out with friends etc.. and not enjoying what's on offer. That's why I like having the shakes as you can't over indulge on them. They are what they are but I bet that bacon roll tasted like heaven! lol Making me fancy bacon now! We need bacon...

Another pound off :) Still plodding along with it here. What gets me is I'm heading towards losing three stone and nobody seems to have noticed!? My dad has, he was really surprised when he saw me and my husband thinks I look great but nobody else has said a word! Think where am so tall I hide...

You are doing so well! Well done :)

You're all doing so well already. I get impatient too especially when you know you've been good but nothing is shifting! I am also guilty of weighing myself all the time, I know they say that you shouldn't but it helps keep me in check. Good luck everyone! :)

Thanks Bee and good luck with your weight loss plan. I also have a holiday to look forward to but that's mid July and then two weddings to go to. Having dresses made nearer the time so must be determined not to pig out on holiday! Easier said than done! lol

Thanks Ducky :) You are doing great yourself. Another pound off this morning. Am happy but just all so slow with me! although that's the same with any diet I've tried. I buy Ultra Slim at the moment. Think they are offer at the mo for a limited time. (2 for £6 I think)

Same as last post really. In laws around again but another pound off this morning :)

Was very good last night, had the in-laws 'round for dinner so I made sure I ate something good before they came lol but they turned up with a load of cake! I was tempted but didn't have any and another pound off this morning!!

Another pound off so looks like weight is finally shifting again :)

Thank you :) Well I've not been on as I haven't had any losses until today. It is so frustrating as I only went out for a meal for my sons birthday and I gained several pounds which has taken what feels like an eternity to come off but it finally has along with another pound so that's good and...

And another pound off :) That's two stone three pounds :) Was not happy with my husband as he keeps telling people I'm doing well on a diet so feel under added pressure especially with two weddings coming up! I know he's proud but I wasn't best pleased! Bless him lol

We all have those feelings of disgust so you're definitely not alone there! We all have bad days but look at what you have lost already! That's a brilliant start! :D

Aww that's so nice of you to say :) To be honest the school holidays combined with Easter haven't helped have they! On top of that it's my sons birthday this week with a huge chocolate cake to make and a family meal! lol It's definitely not easy! I am another pound down today so pleased (coming...

Another two pounds off. Lightest I've been in ages! :D

Another pound off so that's two stone!! :D I can't wait and do weekly weigh ins. I have to keep a check on things as I gain so easily. Very happy!

I'm not sure MrsWilsoncroft as I shop online and just buy the shakes so don't really look at what else they sell. Hope someone else can answer for you :)

Another pound down. Slowly but surely but at least in the right direction. One more pound to two stone!! :D

Hi Claire :) Some great tips there. I have been guilty of having rubbish days and then giving up for a while completely but you really have to stick with it. I am another pound down today so only one more pound and that's two stone! :D I am so pleased! I have even walked completely away from...

Oh and I hope you've had a lovely holiday Claire :)

I am sure you will be able to do it Irishtweet :) I am nearly at the two stone mark now but where I have been on and off of the diet and had health issues it has taken a long time. I know if I stick to it constantly the weight will come off quicker which is my plan. Unfortunately where it has...

Thank you :) Well we had a couple of family occasions and I gained but am back and am a pound down so all in the right direction. Just a little slower than I would like but can't moan. How are you doing? :)

I have been on Slimfast but am now on Ultraslim and find them very similar. Well the weight is coming off! They are cheaper too :)

I lost four stone years ago on Slimfast so always end up coming back to it. At the moment though I am on Ultraslim (Tesco) which I find doesn't mix so well so I blend it and add a little ice and water which is just something I like to do. I enjoy the shakes which helps. Hate having to think too...

I was the same as you :) Holiday weight gain, birthdays then christmas followed by the january come down from it all but back on track I hope :)

Hi everyone :) Have been back and forwards on here like a yo yo! Had a lot of health issues but back on track and two pounds lighter than when I last posted so although I haven't lost much, I haven't gained. How is everyone doing?

Well I had a lovely holiday!, gained about 10 pounds but have lost most of that already so that's all good. Trying to get back into the swing of things which I am finding difficult after all that lovely Greek food but I am doing my best! lol

You'll have a great time. I love Greece. Another pound off but off on holiday tomorrow. Guess I'll be back in a fortnight with a large gain! lol x

You are doing really well and that's great advice saying to think about what you have lost rather than what you have to lose. Very positive.

How are you doing? :)

I was going to physio for my leg, then saw a physio for hypermobility but that has now stopped. She did say that pilates could help but that didn't take the separate leg break into account. I also have a huge fear of falling now with the epilepsy and am so worried incase I break my leg again as...

You have done really well in not gaining too much weight :) Good luck on your fresh start.

Just read through your entire diary and must say you are doing great! :) I have been diagnosed with hypermobility along with other things and told that pilates may strengthen my core muscles. I was diagnosed after breaking my tib and fib 2 years ago now after I kept passing out. I went to the GP...

Thanks mcv :) Where are you going on holiday? Love holidays. Am trying really hard at the moment. I think that cutting down on the amount of tea I drink has helped. I am a bit of a tea addict and although I don't have sugar on anything or in tea, I guess the milk adds up! I am now drinking a lot...

It's so hard when you get invited out to celebrations etc... Sometimes I would rather not go if I feel I'm doing well. I gain weight so easily, just one meal is a huge set back which can be really disheartening. Well, I don't weigh myself on set days so am quite random with it all but today I am...

That's brilliant Michelle!

We are off to Lefkada in a fortnight. Can't wait! Have been out for three family meals, didn't pig out but still gained a few pounds! but am back to what I was when I last posted. I have been so good apart from that. Takes so long to shift. Not helped by underactive thyroid! Not getting...

Hi Michelle, glad things have calmed down for you at work. Stress definately doesn't help when you are trying to lose weight. Good luck with the weight loss. We are off on holiday next month so I thought I'd best do something! lol

Hi Everyone:) Not been on for a while so thought I'd come on and update. Health not been to good again and weight has been up and down but am 3 pounds less than I was when I last posted so at least it's still coming down. Back on the plan. How is everyone else doing?

Well have not been on for a while as have been having a number of health problems and tests but a pound down on what I was when I was posted so not brilliant but at least it hasn't gone up! Had my first shake of the day and am planning what to have for dinner tonight. Have been on both Slimfast...

Lets just say that I didn't resist!:o but I have been good since. Just going to have my second shake of the day and wondering what to have for dinner later.

Aaaarrggghhh!!!! ....It's pancake day! I shall say no more!

Sounds like you are doing great! I WAS doing well until hubby got me a takeaway last night. I thought I was being good splitting it so have it again tonight and because of this it has now turned into a "sod it day!"lol Will start again tomorrow! Bloody men! lol (gotta blame someone!!)

That's great Michelle! Well my slap in the face with a wet kipper came last night! Hubby has been trying to treat me to a takeaway since valentines day which I had managed to dodge by eating before he gets in from work but yesterday was his day off so he bought me an indian which I split into...

Hi Cable,:) Have just read your diary and I can relate to you totally. We are a similar age (I am 38) and weight (I'm 16 stone) and I really don't like myself very much either....but we can do this! and we WILL do this! 'ark at me!! LOL!! We can all support eachother:)

I have lost another pound. Taken me long enough though! but all in the right direction eh!:)

Thanks for your lovely comments. I am back again. Still trying to stick to the plan but have had so many boxes of biscuits etc.. for Christmas! They are only just disappearing! and I have been quite good! lol How is everyone else doing?

Well a few pounds have been gained over christmas but am back and more determined than ever. How are other people doing?:)

Another pound off today! Everyone had fish and chips last night...but I stuck to my diet and wasn't even tempted by a chip. Really proud of myself:)

We all have days, weeks or even months like this and it's you who has to be in the right frame of mind. Nobody can tell you. Good luck xx

Had family meals last week so no loss even though I didn't eat too much but another pound off today so I am pleased with that.

Went for two family meals last week and didn't lose but another pound off this week:)

That's brilliant!!:D Well done both of you xx

Good luck:) I can't wait whole weeks so weigh most days. I can't help it! lol

Well just worked out that I came back to the forum about 2 weeks ago and I adjusted my ticker to 7 pounds down from my starting weight. I am now 12 pounds down so in all I have lost 5 pounds already! I am so chuffed! Just had my second shake and deciding what to have for dinner:)

I'm in! Already lost 2 pounds since you posted this so a third of the way there! Thanks for posting this. Think we all could do with some motivation!:)

When using Slimfast I used a shaker which worked well for me but I have to blend Ultra Slim with a hand blender as I don't find it mixes as well as the Slimfast. I suppose you could mix at home and then keep in the fridge at work?

Another pound off. Just going to have my first shake of the day. weight seems to be shifting quicker for me with the Ultra Slim.

Been back on the Ultra Slim for a couple of weeks now properly after a bit of a break from it all. Have lost about four pounds since I've been back on it which I am pleased with but not sure whether to put the weight loss down to the new thyroid tablets I'm on or the dieting but I guess it could...

I have noticed the lack of posts too so just been updating my weight loss diary. Glad others are posting. I am on Ultraslim at the moment and doing ok. Another pound off today:) How is everyone else doing?

Another pound off:) Hubby took me out for lunch yesterday but I just made sure I didn't over indulge. Had my first shake of the day. Sticking to the plan. How is everyone else doing?

Another pound off. Slowly but surely.

Stick sticking to the plan:) Been to see my GP this morning to get the results of a blood test I had a month ago. Apparantly I have a very underactive thyroid which would make it hard to lose weight. Just been to get some tablets which the doctor said will hopefully make it start doing...

Four days in and I am a pound down already!:)

I first tried Ultra Slim in my shaker and it just didn't mix but have tried again with my hand blender and I love them! Don't know why I didn't use the blender before. lol

I am trying the tesco one too at the moment. Much cheaper and doesn't taste too bad either:)

Well so far so good. Stuck to it yesterday and will be having my second shake of the day soon. Will say I have noticed how much tea I drink. I guess all the milk adds up over the couse of the day. Going to try and drink more water.

Keep going!! You are doing really well! I am back too after some time away. Had a holiday in the summer and then another and then just fell back into old habits. Determined this time.

That's great to hear! I am fine thanks:) Just updated my ticker but still 7 pounds down on when I started so not all bad. Really cold here which makes me want to eat! lol but being really strict and coming on here and seeing how well everyone is doing gives me the incentive I need.

Have put on nine pounds since I was last here!:eek:

Well I'm back after a long break. Back on it and determined to lose! How is everyone?:)

I had a great time thanks. Just want to get back to my pre holiday weight before I go on the next one and gain even more! Got about 6 pounds to lose before 18th september which I know is achievable so got to be strict with myself. Then I will be back trying to lose all the rest!:eek: How is...

Well I had my holiday! 2 weeks in Greece and half a stone up! so I am back on it! Off to turkey next month so no time to waste!:)

How are things? Did you have a good holiday? I am off next wednesday but will be back when I'm home as bound to put on loads of weight.

Sorry not been on for a while. Had a lot going on. Just popped on to say I've lost another pound. Hope everyone is well xx

Hope you're having a great time:) My inlaws went to the Cayacoa yesterday. I am so jealous! lol

I'm off to the Greek Island of Thassos. Last went in 1993 with my sister. It's a very quiet place but I bet it has changed loads since I was there last. Hotel is directly on the beach!! Thomson Holidays - Mediterranean Apartments

You're doing great Liz and I'm so pleased you are going to continue posting here! You are definately in the zone!:)

Looks like you are sticking to the plan. It will eventually budge:)

Sorry not been on. Had such a busy week with both of our dads birthdays. Had them over for dinner but I had something different and didn't touch the cake which is good for me! Another pound down today so that's 15 pounds now! Only 30 days until my holiday and I know I will probably put half of...

Thanks. Another pound down today! I know people say just weigh once a week but I can't. lol

Just wanted to come on and say that I am another pound down!!:D Just had my first shake of the day and then off shopping. (which I hate!)

Have a great weekend. Sounds like you deserve a treat. Enjoy!:)

Thanks Liz:) Today started off well but is going a bit wotsits up! lol I had a slimfast for breakfast, then I have eaten a few Maoams as I still have that massive pack in the cupboard, then as it's hubbys day off I did him a bacon sandwich for lunch and ended up eating one myself! I have also...

I know! They are only small sweets too! Have stayed the same since I last weighed myself but am happy with that:) Had my hospital appointment on monday and had skin samples taken so am a wee bit sore at the moment. Stitches need to come out next thursday. Good new is that just by looking at me...

All well and good today but I did fajitas for dinner. Everyone else had chips and I just had two fajitas but have just looked at the wraps packet and they have 207 calories each and that was before I stuffed half a chicken etc.. in them! lol

Aww that's a shame. Loads of pics on Tripadvisor. Hope that helps:)

Yes I'm on facebook. I don't know how else to show them to you as I am a bit rubbish like that:confused:

On the packet it says the sweets are 79 calories each!!?? :eek:

Yes I have pics on my facebook. Will try and do a link...

You asked about the weather. It was nice and warm during the day but I would say take a cardi if you want t sit outside in the evenings. (that was because it was their winter apparantly)

I went to the Cayacoa in Samana!!:D Loved it so much! My in-laws are going later this month. It is a beautiful part of the country and so unspoilt. They are stopping flying into Samana soon though (don't know why??) and you will have to travel from Puerto Plata airport. We were looking at going...

Have been (and am still being) a wee bit naughty today. I have had the two shakes, some bolognaise mince with salad, 2 Maoam sweets (mustn't eat anymore of those!) and am planning on having a bowl of strawberries later with a tiny bit of cream. Not mega bad but bad for me! Looking forward to the...

Caribbean cruise sounds lovely. I was supposed to go to Dominican Republic last July but had to cancel it due to leg break. I was so upset but ended up going for christmas instead and I had a great time despite being on crutches. lol Hadn't had a holiday since 2006 so was well needed.

Staying the same is fine:) It will shift eventually.

Keep going Fee.:)

Good luck Nicki. Everyone is so supportive here.:)

Hope you are ok Emma. We all miss you!:)

Well done!! :)

You are doing great especially with all the exercise you're doing. Keep going. It will pay off:)

Good luck with SW. xx

You are doing great. Well done:)

Wow!! What a great weight loss! You must feel so proud. Well done you!:)

Thanks everyone. This forum and speaking to all of you really helps. Don't think I would stick at it otherwise.

Just popped on quickly to say I have lost another pound! Very pleased. Did everyone a roast yesterday but I just had the meat with a jacket potato and salad. How is everyone else doing?

I love sushi:) So far today just had the two shakes. Not sure what I'm having for dinner yet. Was naughty last night and had a toasted tea cake. Hubby had bought a new wider toaster and I wanted to see if it would hold a tea cake. It did and it was rather tasty! lol

Well done! That's great news! I have STS but I know it will shift if I persist with it. Not giving up now!:)

Hope you are ok Emma.x

Glad you are feeling better. Have a great day. It's well deserved and we all need a day off sometimes.x

Thanks everyone. Weight seems to have stayed the same since I last weighed myself but I am sticking with the plan. It will shift eventually:) Yesterday I had the two shakes, some sushi which was 125 calories for the amount I had and fishcakes with salad. Did a lot of walking yesterday and have...

Had a jacket spud with bolognaise last night and a large salad. Today the plan is to have the two shakes and for my dinner I am planning on having a salmon fillet with cous cous. Going to go on the Wii fit today as leg is feeling particually good.

That's great! Well done you!:)

Will definately be trying some of these. Thanks for posting!:)

Sounded like things didn't go too bad at pizza hut. How are things today?

Well done! Sounds like you are doing great!:)

Good luck on your new start. How is your first day going?:)

Well done on the loss!:)

How are things today Emma?:)

That's a good idea. I might try doing that next time:) So far today I have had my two shakes and a low fat packet of crisps (very rarely eat crisps). For dinner I am having pasta and salad. Just had the one cup of tea today which is a major thing for me as I have been known to make a whole pot...

Will all be worth it in the end :)

Just had a tuna salad with a medium jacket spud. I am stuffed! Have cut down on my tea drinking and am drinking more water.

Wishing you lots of luck. It is so hard to get motivated sometimes. I have to be in the right frame of mind for a diet to work and finally feel that now is the right time. The support on here definately helps.

Good luck with your weigh in tomorrow. Your dinners always sound so nice:)

Well they had their chinese and I didn't even have a prawn cracker! I am so pleased as that other pound is definately off today too! Thanks for all your support:)

Bacon and potato rosti cakes sound rather nice!:)

Thanks. I am doing ok. Guess what?? Hubby is buying a chinese takeaway and I have found willpower from somewhere and have had a chicken salad!!:eek: Go me! lol

Did a random weigh in this morning and have lost nearly 2 pounds but not quite so have just updated it to one. I am very chuffed!:) Just had my first shake today and then off to get my hair cut later. Feeling very positive:D Have a great day everyone!

Good luck with the tests Emma:) When I broke my tib and fib last year my physio said she thought I was hypermobile and it turns out she was right. It is all very complicated but hypermobility can also be called Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and there are many different types. Because of my family...

I am doing ok thanks. Wish I could exercise more but doing what I can on the Wii Fit at the moment. Better than nothing. Still walking up and down the stairs one step at a time at the moment but I'll get there. Getting better all the time:)

Glad I'm not the only one with the shaker thing! lol and thanks. Can't wait to get away! I really enjoyed my dinner tonight. I had a small jacket spud with tuna and lots of salad. Was very yummy :)

I wouldn't worry about the 16 calories. Sounds like you are doing great to me!:)

I have been in there with all the best intentions but nothing looked as nice as their pizzas so maybe have pizza but just don't over indulge too much.

We are off to the Greek Island of Thassos for 2 weeks:) I can't wait! Just booked the taxi funnily enough! Another reason I want to lose weight is for health reasons. Having to have genetic testing and that is causing me a lot of stress and worry but just trying to get on with things and act as...

Glad the exam went well:) I am 5 foot 11 and carry most of the extra weight from the waist down. Even when I have been lighter I am still bottom heavy.

Well done with the weight loss. I am trying to drink more water as I think this helps with the weight loss. I am a bit of a tea addict usually.

Just wondered if anyone else has managed to shake SF all over the room because they haven't put the lid on the shaker properly? I was not hugely impressed with myself! lol

Sounds like you are doing great especially with the exercise. How you are feeling better after your crap day.xx

So far today have had 2 shakes and am planning on having a tuna salad tonight. Only two slices of cake left which I am pleased about. A slice each for my sons and no temptation for me! Two months today until my holiday so really need to get motivated and be a good girl. Thanks for your support.

we all have the odd bad day but you will get back on it with the support on here. And Dave I lost 4 stone a number of years ago on SF so totally achievable. That's why I'm back on it:) Good luck everyone!

Thanks. I do hope so. I feel terribly guilty.

Well the sweets were just the beginning of a giant "sod it day!!" lol I made hubby and the boys a jam and cream sponge cake and a rather large slice ended up in my mouth and I also made a spag bol so I had that for dinner (but not a huge portion) Back on track tomorrow I hope:)

Had two shakes today and then a few of those moaom sweets but I soon put them back when I read on the bag that each sweet contains 79 calories!!!:eek: That will keep me away from them! lol

Just had my two shakes so far today. Planning on having pasta and salad for dinner:)

Well done you!!:)

That sounds nice:)

Feel like I've eaten loads today. Have had my two shakes, Two fajitas again and 2 chocolate biscuits. (yes, I was naughty)

That's what I thought:) Well today, I have had my two shakes, an apple and tonight I am going to have two chicken fajitas. I will usually have a load of extras with this like a mountain of wedges but I am just going to have the fajitas and see how I go. I must say, I have not been feeling at all...

Good luck with your exams:)

I don't have a weigh in day as I can never wait a week so I just weigh myself when I think. Had a piece of fish with lots of salad tonight and about 10 (lol!!) oven chips. Wasn't going to have any chips but a few won't hurt:)

Good luck with your exams:) My son (he's 15) Has 13 exams over the next few weeks and I know how stressfull they can be. He wants to be a teacher.

Food sounds gorgeous! but good for you for getting back on track and going to the gym this morning.

I find for things to work for me I have to cut out everything naughty because if I have one slip I end off writing off the whole day and then it just gets worse the next day so no naughty treats for me from now on. I have never been a huge picker and my problem is portion sizes so I am just...

That's a great loss!:)

It is hard when everyone else is having lots of alcohol and food. I would have done exactly the same if that's any consolation.xx

Forgot to say what I had for dinner. I had cous cous, chicken breast and salad.:)

That's excellent!:)

Thanks:) I am having to be tough with myself at weekends as it is so hard with everyone home. When I do a roast I just have lots of veg with the meat instead of lots of roast potatos and parsnips. It's really hard and I have had lots of slips but now the weight is coming off I think it has given...

Six pounds is a great loss! Welcome back:)

I am currently 16 stone 6. I am 5 foot 11 and hold my weight quite well. My ideal weight is apparently about 11 stone but I have been that before and was told I looked ill (too thin) I lost 4 stone on slimfast a while ago now (about 10 years ago!) but had another child so I gained and then last...

Hope you had a great night:)

Had fish cakes with salad last night which was quite filling. I don't have a weigh in day as such so just weigh myself here and there. Just weighed myself and lost another pound so that's 9 pounds off!:) Will have my breakfast shake soon.

So far today had 2 vanilla shakes. Not feeling at all hungry but may have some fruit as a snack. No idea what to have for my dinner tonight but I am sure I will come up with something:)

I have had 2 vanilla shakes so far today. Might have some fruit as a snack. Everyone had spag bol last night but I was good and had a salad. Spag bol is my fave so I was VERY good!:) Wonder why your shake had green bits in it? lol

I'm in Kent :)

I hope not! I'm terrible for them!

Sounds like you are doing great with the exercise. I really need to get more active!

I also have trouble with portion size. Doesn't help when we have massive plates that I feel the need to fill! My sister takes SF into work in a shaker and keeps it in her work fridge. Seems to be working for her. Good luck with the weight loss. Always here for a chat and support:)

Good luck:)

I love the shakes too. Think chocolate is my favourite. I always put some ice in with mine so they're extra cold:)

Got to keep plodding!:) I don't think I would stick to it if I wasn't coming on here for support. I lost loads of weight about 10 years ago on SF but then decided to have my second son and it's just gone up and down (mainly up) ever since. I know SF works. Just got to have willpower!

My weakness is those Maoam sweets. Not helped by my dad who keeps buying huge bags for my sons! Just had second slimfast:)

Keep going. I'm just about to go on the Wii fit. Leg is improving so I can do gentle exercise.

Nothing wrong with STS! :) Keep going! You can do it!:D

I am doing ok thanks. I had two chocolate slimfasts and a jacket potato with beans for my dinner. I also ate a couple of chewy sweets but only a couple. Still have an easter egg left in its box that keeps asking me to eat him.lol

Good luck with your weigh in today:)

Thanks Emma.:) Good luck to you too. I have had a slimfast and a banana so far today and just about to have another shake.

Well Back again and still the same weight despite easter and other family celebrations but back on it now and very determined as have another holiday in July. Leg still not right but improving so getting more active. Can't believe it's been 11 months since the break and still not better. Got to...

Another pound off but having a roast today so got to really try not to eat too many roast potatoes!!

Well done you!:)

Well done! That's great news.

Well on the whole I have been good and in a week and a half I have lost 4 pounds so that's now 6 pounds in total:)

Stuck to the diet yesterday and today I have so far had 2 slimfasts and a banana. Planning on having a jacket potato with beans tonight.

We all have days like this. Just start again tomorrow.x

Aww that's great news!

Well so far so good:) I had a pasta dinner last night which was low calorie and then a banana as a snack. So far today I have just had the one Slimfast. Got to try and not weigh myself now until next monday as I tend to get a bit obsessed and weigh myself every day which isn't always a good thing.

How are you doing Kazzy? I am finally in the right frame of mind again after my holiday at christmas. I'm still hobbling after the tib/fib break but getting there. Now been told I am hypermobile/have ehlers danlos syndrome (waiting to find out which type)so no zumba for me! And it sounded like...

You can do it Nicki!! I will do it with you. I will come on every day and tell you how I'm doing and it can be done. I lost 4 stone on SF a number of years ago and then had my second child. Now I am in the right frame of mind to try again.

Thank you and good luck to you both too. I was doing really well with all the support here when I joined before christmas. That's why I'm back.:) So far today I have just had the two slimfast shakes and am wondering what I fancy for dinner. Think I may have pasta and salad.

Just had to update my ticker to 7 pounds heavier than I was but it has given me incentive. Hubby back at work now so no excuses for having fattening lunches with him.

Well I am back! I had my holiday over christmas, gained loads of weight and then lost some, had more health issues but am now in the right frame of mind and back on it!:)

Sorry to hear this Kazzy. Think how well you have done though!! I have stayed the same but I am off on holiday tomorrow morning. Having a takeaway tonight and just about to have a frozen Aero with my cuppa.lol I am bound to put on loads whilst I am away but will be back on the diet with a...

Hope you feel better soon xx

You will get there. Gotta have a bit of what you fancy sometimes and I bet you look a damn site healthier than Gillian Mckeith!! lol Healthy eating ALL THE TIME just cannot be good for you! lol Good luck. We are all here to support you:)

Lol!! I have a thing for chewy sweets at the moment! Well I decided to weigh myself and have lost another pound! So that's 9 pounds gone!

So far this week I have stayed the same but stuffed up and ate a load of bombay mix, some fruit shortcake and some drumstick lollies!! lol

Good luck!!:)

I am doing ok. Had a lovely roast the other day but had loads of veg to make up for not having about 5 roast potatoes and a ton of parsnips!

No harm in trying!:)

Well I didn't use the hand blender but mixed it with a little milk before adding more milk and shaking and it was much better. Everyone had a chinese last night but me. I didn't miss it and enjoyed my dinner but I did have a few prawn crackers:) So far today I have had one shake and a banana...

Good luck Jen!!:)

I usually manage to shake all the Slimfast powder in but will try your idea with the Ultraslim. I only have a hand blender so will try and not get it all over the walls!! lol

Lol!! I can imagine!

That's great Kazzy! I was doing aqua aerobics a couple of years ago but where I am tall had to stand pretty much in the deep end compared to everyone else. Must have been hilarious to watch as when we had to move about I often would get out of my depth and can hardly swim as it is. Gave it up in...

Forgot to say, I have lost another pound! I can't weigh myself just once a week. I know that's bad but I have to keep an eye on myself! So that's 8 pounds gone!

I know but I did enjoy them and didn't go on to scoff half the bag!! lol I tried Ultraslim this morning. Not bad but I prefer Slimfast. It didn't mix as well but maybe I need to shake it more:) For the price though it's not bad at all. Two for £6 at the moment.

That's brilliant! Well done! xx:)

I did eat two sweeties earlier! lol

Sounds like a great way to get in shape:)

Thank you! I am really pleased and so determined to get the weight down. My sister said she'd treat us all to a chinese takeaway tomorrow night. I said that would be lovely for everyone else but I am not going to have any. I know that if I do, I will overeat in a big way and then regret it. To...

Keep going Kate and the weight will soon start to shift! :)

Good luck!:)

Well, what a suprise!! Just weighed myself and I am two pounds down! Very pleased!:D

Well I have stayed the same this week despite being really good but I am still happy with that. At least I haven't put any on!:)

I am aiming to lose for december the 15th as that's when I go on holiday. I am bound to put loads on but will be back again when I return! Good luck!:)

Fingers crossed your well enough then Kazzy. That's a very kind thing to do.:)

No I hate the ready made ones:jelous: I use the powder and really enjoy those. Leg is getting there. I badly broke my tib and my fib in June and had a metal rod put in from my knee to my ankle. Latest x-ray showed that it is finally healing well and I am hobbling about the house. Usually just...

Forgot to add...I do have physio today so I guess that kind of counts as exercise.

Just look at how well you have done so far though! and look at this week as a blip. You will soon be back on track:)

Thank you:) Had a blip last night. I did fajitas which I love and was only going to have one but ended up having two enormous ones and a few chips! Didn't go overboard but felt terribly guilty afterwards and wished I hadn't had them. I also went to open another Slimfast this morning and found I...

Hope you feel better soon. It's horrible being unwell AND on a diet. I'm sure you'll get back on track once you're feeling well again.

Fantastic!:)

That's fantastic!! Well done you!!:)

Thanks Kazzy! I had a fantastic night!! Had a Mcdonalds and have stayed the same so am happy. So tired this morning! Just about to have my first shake of the day. Bloomin' freezing here! My Frosty paid a visit! lol

I'm sure you'll be fine Kazzy. You've done great up 'til now. Hope you feel better soon x

Good luck:)

That would be great! and exactly why I came here. It is so hard dieting on your own. I am off on a fortnights holiday next month and just know I will put most of what I lose back on but I will be back with a vengeance I'm sure!:)

Thank you:) I have been and had a look and think I will have a deli sandwich although I must say it's shocking just how many calories are in a shake!! Think I'll be sticking to my diet coke. Well, I couldn't wait until monday to weigh myself and have just stepped on the scales and lost 5 pounds...

Hi Littleone, I also started this week and so far so good! You can do it!:)

We will all have bad days. My sister turned up with loads of cream cakes last night. Was really hard to say no but I did it. She has left 3 in my fridge but I am not giving in! (this time) I am sure you will be back on track on monday Kazzy. You can do it!:)

No idea at all. Will probably end up being Mcdonalds or something as we are going to the o2 to see Gorillaz. Not overly familiar with what they sell as only go a handful of time in a year but I do like their deli sandwiches. No idea on the calorie content though.

Sounds like you are doing fantastically well! Gives me real incentive to stick to the plan. My first proper weigh in isn't 'til monday.

Thanks Kazzy:) Today I have had my two shakes, fruit and this evening I had a tuna salad with a jacket potato. Am off out on sunday and will be eating out so already thinking about that as will be my first weigh in the following day. Don't want to pig out just for the sake of it especially on...

I have updated my ticker as I was actually 17 stone 1. May as well put the exact weight in! Feel things are going well so far and I am sticking to it:)
