Hi All, Just checking in and hope you are all doing well. I am so busy with the hols have not had time to check on diaries but will do soon as I can make time. I am still sticking to diet and lost 2 lbs this week. I am not sure what day I am on will need to work it out.

Day 11 cruise PV Have not been very good on my diary this week but have stuck to my diet really well, in fact I need to eat more but have been out and about tonight. Today because I am the most sensible mum in the world we are going into London, I sure it will not be too busy with the games on...

well done for sticking to diet during stress that is when it all goes pear shape for me, literally!

Well done Trudy, good luck with the horse tomorrow. Interesting ready your journey.

Well done with the loss, you little slim jim. Sorry I have got no stories to take the heat of you. Planning to stay up late with the computer on and a Dukan cheese cake waiting for your update, only teasing sorry, just your dating life sounds a good adventure, married 17 years myself so other...

DAY 9 CRUISE AND WEIGH IN DAY Okay, it has been one of those days!! Weighed in this morning and I have lost 3lbs this week, so very pleased! I am so happy I have not been this weight for 18 months and then it was very briefly. I went to the hairdressers so my hair is looking good. I took my son...

You lucky things size ten and eight!! I know I will get there and it is great to read your diaries and see how hard t=you have all worked for it. I love the tea but is not working at all! Good luck for the weigh in x

Hi Hope you have a great day tomorrow, if you see a large chap about 50, grey balding hair say hello to my neighbour Steve who is also going tomorrow. You might loose some weight later in the week, I always put weight on when flying (you would think all that effort flapping my arms, I would...

Good point, internet dating ! Charly where are you? Ohh wasn't it going to be your shop day today?

Monday day 8 Cruise Hi Guys Thank you for all the help and suggestions for my flight meal I think I will book one, cannot remember what it is called but also take some food with me. I think I have to be realistic Bulgaria is not going to be easy and I am just going to be as good as I can. We...

Wow you are so close, all your hard work has paid off.

The wine will be off before you know it. We have to live and fun sometimes. I most make some of this porridge stuff.

Charly, Charly you naughty (lucky) girl. This is getting good but we have to wait until Friday for the next instalment! We want to know it all, well almost. Enjoy, you have worked for this but do not blow the diet. Mind your exercise rate might be going up............x

There are many meal options, if you look on BA meal options but the only one that seems any good is the seafood one but as I am only just starting to start to eat fish I do not think I could stomach that yet. Had my curry night yesterday and I ate a Dukan meal before I went out. My friends were...

Cruise Day 6 _PP I always look forward to the meal on the plane, it is looking as if I will have to take some food. Day 6 and my weight loss has slowed down a lot, my bowels are at a full stop and have bee for over a week; I took some slim a tee last night; hope it works soon. I think I need to...

The meal comes free with the fare. My worry really is the flight is only 3 1/2 hours but then the transfer is another two; the airport definitely does not have anything Dukan friendly that I can think of for veggies. Our driver normally stops for a coffee but at the stop it is normally pastries...

Just be close to the toilet if you don't have strong bottom muscles :eek:The questions we get asked on here make me giggle. I think my bottom muscles are very good and could keep things in place for a while !!!! With tofu sorry I am not very adventurous I just dry fry with onions garlic and...

Day 5 cruise Pv Well still loving this diet and you guys really make it fun, I think it was Charly saying that you would never discuss things like we do on here at other slimming clubs. So the school holidays are here and that means day trips to London so will have to find foods that I can take...

P we need your news, hope you are well!

Hi Got some Slimatee, only got it last night but have not had any yet as my son has a friend around who arrived at 8am and the boy might think it is strange if I keep running to the loo at top speed. Have been banged up for over a week now so really need to take some. If I had some to night...

Who needs 50 shades of Grey . I think I will write a book based on the Dukan girls. X rated, top shelf me thinks.

Under 55k that is so small, you must look petite. I would love smaller parts including them !

I to grow potatoes on my allotment but I do my allotment with two friends who eat load of the things, my family do to. I have my 50th in September Jacket potato, I was thinking Sex on the beach ! Enjoy you waking with your daughter, my son always leads me astray.

3lbs fantastic. I bet when you weigh yourself and see the new stone bracket you think yes, yes, yes, you lucky thing.

Good luck, everything crossed.

Sounds like you are doing well again. You had to have fun on holiday and your gain was very small.

Good luck with the trousers. You must love being able to walk into a shop and know clothes are going to fit and look good. i so look forward to that day.

Jo we forgive you of course. You are working to your limit but when you hard work is finished your number one priority is diet. You have done so good. Fantastic win, treat yourself. How about paying for a boot camp course ? Or do something really different like a water skiing course !! I...

Walking in the marshes sounds grand. Do you cook your rhubarb in diet lemonade? If that is allowed !

J we need to hear all your stories you have from your trip. Any men in the shower there? so hoping.

You poor thing, I do hope you feel better soon so you can celebrate TW.

Have a lovely weekend. I know what you mean about drink, be as good as you can whilst having fun.

Not sure I have ever had a water chestnut! Day four Cruise ppI had a PV day yesterday and made this concoction of cucumber, tomatoes, garlic and onion wow it blew my socks off but lovely. I think I like PP days better at the moment, probably as I am lazy. I had fromage fraise with lemon...

I wonder if I can get a refund on my sticky toffee pudding or should I just swim an extra length !!! Joodle thank you for passing on those tips

Corrie, my 13 old son is an addict (not sure how he got into it) so we have to watch it and I have to say we are becoming addicted. Kirk and Marcus was hilarious the other night. CPL dig deeper in the cupboard, you might find even more. I was thinking (I only do that once a day) if we all get...

I have heard that but have never seen it. where we swim they do a lot of children's lesson so I should think the water would always be purple. I shall try it out next time.......joking

Hi J Sounds as a fellow Dunkan you are doing fab out in the real world, considering your choices are limited. Do hope you are feeling better. Enjoying the jokes. A loss fantastic. Hurry home

That is on my list, thank you ladies. I have never tried it before. Thanks J, wee, never swimming again, mind I do not think anybody has had a wee in the water as there are no pennies on the side of the pool!

Good luck to you.You sure do exercise, I must up my game.

Thank you

Okay which one of you told my swim instructor that I am on a diet. Wow man she pushed as today, 30 minutes none stop up and down the pool. Feel good now. It was the last lesson of the term. I am the largest out of us all, as we were showering I was plotting in my head and thinking, next term I...

Did mean to say, make sure you check which Quorn you eat some are high in carbs. Sorry

Hi Stick in there. How about saving money by having veggie stuff like Quorn. The big stores usually have offers on like 3 packs for 5 pound. I am veggie but am only on day two of cruise so today will be my first trip into that stuff but joodle uses veggie stuff perhaps have a look at her diary...

Hope you feel better this morning. Looking at your stats, they are amazing. When I get time (when I stop reading diaries lol) I will try and figure out all of my measurements Thanks

Me thinks you need a shopping trip for trousers, you lucky thing. Go girl.

Thank you, hey a think I might jump and down as well. We could have a Dunkan jump once a week. One jump for every pound everybody has lost that week, we would soon be at true weight!

Looking at your stats you have done so well, inspired by you thank you

Cruise day Two PP and Week one weigh in Week one = - 6 :D six days attack First weigh in and have lost 6lb really, really pleased, 6 pound of fat gone. Watch out all the other fat, Dukan is going to get you!! (sounds a bit like a bully ) I am still half a pound heavier than I was Sunday...

I think with hindsight I should have asked for more egg! Going to weigh myself in a moment, fingers crossed.

Well done for not going for the naughty yummy foods, that shows great strength. I have taken to leaving some lemon cheesecakes in the fridge yummy but good.

Pauline, that is fab u lous.

They must of been good beans! Day 1 Cruise B yogurt Lunch ONE egg,tomatoes, lettuce, radish, onion, cucumber and cress Dinner Quark, Tofu,, onion and garlic and curry powder(Is that ok) extras some herb tofu and a lemon cheesecake. Enough to drink but not sure if I ate enough. I do not feel...

Mums and sons, we are silly billys when it comes to sons but we wouldn't have it any other way.

Good luck with shop next week. I have found out that Mantaray at Debenhams dresses really suit my body shape so I am pleased, I would never have looked at them twice until last week when I was despairing would I could wear this summer, I tried one on; now I want them all. Holly has got a great...

Out to lunch had a lovely long chat . There was nothing on the menu for me, so I asked if I could have a egg salad made up for me with no dressing, cucumber, tomato. When it arrived loads of lettuce, cherry tomatoes, radish, onions, cress and one yes one egg!!!! So I am starving going to make...

Thank you ladies for saving the day. Off out now. First day when I will not be making the meal, I am in control, I am the customer, I get what I want or else I come home and eat.

Just had a thought. Is it all right to start Cruise with a PV? As I am going out to dinner.

Well done another loss. Thank you for the kind words on starting my diet. Be good!

Hi I think having to learn a second language is great. I think the problem here is that if you are not up to speed by High School (primary schools learn at different rates) and you are not great at languages you can get left behind; to catch up can be very hard. I started Shred last year and...

Thanks for that, normally when on a diet I would get uptight when I have put weight on. I would get all this does not work stuff.

Cruise day one First day of Cruise but so far I have only has fat free yogurt. I have my lunch date later and not sure if i am going to share my diet as the birthday girl when I have mentioned diets in the past passes no comment; not a real friend anymore but the other girl we are with is and...

Have a great trip. Do not worry that you are not where you want to be with the way of eating, you are early in your journey and it will all drop into place if you don't over think it.

Another pound brilliant. So glad I read your diary this morning as I have put a bit of weight on this morning, so I am feeling better knowing this is part of it. I hate putting weight on but I just have to learn to accept it, no tantrum today. The rate you are going you will be under 16 stone...

Congratulations celebrations. You are brilliant.

Cruise in the morning. One day left to weigh in !! What shall I have for breakfast. I think I shall make some more lemon cheesecake tomorrow. Have my lunch date and I just know I am going to be so good I can see my halo shining in the computer.

Trudy you have lost so much, you are trudly (sorry) amazing.

Good luck either way. I would do it now and if it is not what you want do it after totm, edge my bets.

My husband will be pleased with that, mind he might think I am ill if I am too calm! Put one of my new dresses on and had my picture taken, will do the same next Sunday to see if I look slimmer.

Sara, I am a pig. Sorry I was a pig. You are so close, keep it you lucky thing.

C,well done on the weight loss, go girl.

Well done CG for the weight loss.

Great joke J, I am still laughing. Yes. They keep the good junk or treasure and sell it. As I was sitting waiting in the car in my heels, the guy in the car next to me was going to dump a small child's bike and I have to say it looked in good condition and the dump man took it from him; so I...

I just Googled it, you clever sausage. The site I went to was to help you learn the language, I left immediately. Learning this diet is hard enough for me.

Hi Thanks for all the help. At home I never drink in the house, I guess I am a social drinker. Trouble being, I know it is not lady like but I love beer! I will try very hard as you say it is for life and J as you say I might not find it hard; today we had a coffee stop out shopping and my son...

I think the words are pretty funny as well, I got so excited when I thought I was going on 171 day Cruise !!

Hi Joodle Well dumps are not dumps anymore, when I was a kid we would go with our parents on a weekend and pick up old pram wheels to make go carts with, no yesterday everything and I mean everything had a place, my poor husband was running from container to container, I could just happened to...

Hi Charly, any thought on what you might buy? You must feel really good. I would love to be in the 10 stone bracket. Your a star.

Don't know about you but I even dream registed ukan ! I have been thinking about the curry and I am not going to eat. If it is at my friends house I will take my own food and I am not going to drink. If we go out to eat I will eat before I go. I am not going to ruin all this loss, I have put...

I do not think we met but good luck we are all heading to the same destination.

Hi Beth, Just read your diary and can totally relate to you. I have only just started my diet and have my holiday coming up in less than 4 weeks. I wanted a fast lose and it is going well but I do know I am not going to be the shape I wanted to be this summer, I have left it too late. But I...

Braved going on the official Dukan site and got my true weight. He thinks I should be 9 stone 8 pounds, Attack for 6 days, Cruise 120, con 171. So by November I might be in leggings tucked in boots; that's my dream for dressing next winter. In the garb Dr D sends out after you get your weight he...

Have a brilliant night, Dr D is not in your town tonight so you will be okay, enjoy.

Wow you have done so well. I hardly have a photo of me as I look so bad. There is one up in the hall when I was nine stone and I want my body back to that shape, you have inspired me thank you.

DF just read your diary, you are doing so well, so quickly. I know what you mean about reading peoples diaries, being a newbie I am trying to read everyone but it seems impossible. I have had a few evenings this week not talking to the family just reading. Keep going, it is you guys who keep me...

Forgot to say my cheesecake tasted really good after being in the fridge overnight not like a squash ball. I made muffins today, they are ok but the cheesecake wins for me. Got some more fish. Can anybody on here speak Bulgarian ? Going there next month and need to know words like Quark, 100%...

Sorry! Pauline

Ohh your boys are lovely. I know you have had tough times but you are soooooooo lucky to have two little boys (I nearly burst into song then, two little boys, had two.....).

Hi Milton, I was going to say welcome back but I wasn't here when you were last here! But you coming back tells me one thing, it is a diet you believe in so that is a great help to me as I am new to the diet this week. Keep strong and you will be there in no time.

Joodle you did make me laugh about the dump! What made it even worse my husband walked in and said he would like to spend some time clearing out the garage so he can get a bike he is being leant to do the London to Brighton in the garage. Timing what.

Hi, Thank you for the tips on eating out. I checked the menu for the lunch date, there is salmon salad thing with pesto and egg, not sure if I could eat that without the pesto as I I only enjoyed salmon once, I will see if they can do me an egg salad. I am hoping the curry will be at our friends...

Hope you are on the mend. Great menu.

Thanks Eccab77, was a bit worried I would have a subscription with Dukan if I put all my information in and end up spending a fortune. Will get one of those weight loss ticker things as well, they look fun. Joodle thank you will put it with powder when I make the muffins. Now I am thinking the...

Thanks Eccab77, everyone is dead nice on here. You can have 1/2lb if you like ! If we are sharing weight loss. A few quick questions. Do I use the Dukan website to figure my real weight as when I looked at it, seemed to suggest I needed to join up ? How to I get one of those fab weight things...

Pauline, I do confess when I opened it, I was tempted to have a quick swig. Oh that is a shame. I wonder if I should get some orange extract as well to make it more fun.

Thanks for the links, my mouth is watering as I have had my real cheesecake with bran and I love the topping shall I make another with no base....

Well done on the weight loss and you have been away !!! I hope I can come back from my hols with a loss.

My excitement here might be short lived oh I hope not. I have just been to Waitrose and found some chocolate extract but now and at home with reading glasses I see it has alcohol in. Fingers crossed and I promise not to have any until I am off attack. Done my walk but am a bit of a cheat, I have...

What an excellent idea. Ohh I should have looked earlier, I made some lemon cheesecakes yesterday (4) I had one today and one yesterday and gave my husband one to try. Now the bad bit the one left in the fridge is not fit to be photographed, it has finger scrapes in it. Will try next time...

Elisheba you must look hot. You have done so well. I have not read your diary yet as I can only read one or two a day and only joined Dunkan's Diaries on Tuesday. Brilliant people on here.Will read your diary later, I have been on this site two hours now and still not dressed and I have a lot to...

Hi this was the recipe I used http://www.minimins.com/dukan-recipes/273020-cheesecake.html. Have to say I ate mine within 10 minutes out of oven, felt one today and it does feel like a squash ball, hope it does not taste like one. Never been into seafood, it looks like it should come from...

Thanks alottolose. Charly I know hat you mean Quark does not conjure up a nice picture. I heard someone say on the radio yesterday that as soon as they hear the word cashmere they feel all soft and cuddly. Even knowing that I love Quark when hearing the name I do not feel nice and warm towards...

Just read most of your diary, wow you have had a journey and a half, you must be so strong ! keep strong and loosing some of that weight you put on already brilliant. Not sure if I missed it but your goal date why then?

Day 3 Attack break yogurt lunch Tofu garlic Quark Onion Dinner Lemon cheesecake yummy yummy scummy I want more and more and yes I did it cod, onions, garlic and Quark. Still not feeling sick, no headache. Showed husband dress he likes it, didn't show him it on he might not like it. Son has...

Sorry you did not loose that last pound but stress can have that sought of effect, so stay good it will probably be off by Monday. I am new to the site and have not read your diary yet but looked at your weight loss you have done amazingly well, you have lost a whole person, you must look like a...

So so excited have been shopping and in the oven , do not tell my husband or son , Lemon cheesecake, please tell me I am allowed extract and essence. I have had my paws in the mix before it cooked and I tell you I could live on the stuff (the filling). Not sure how I have missed quark in the...

Hi Joodle and all, Stig of the dump, we also gave one of our cats the name. Shopping new clothes new you. Short is really good, I love it. Shorties get to places others do not. I am addicted to this forum as well and being a slow reader it takes me for ever but I am loving it. One thing that I...

Day 3 Attack Fish cakes, brilliant good idea. Thank you. House to myself, going to have a good read of diaries and recipes, them go into town and buy some food. I will have breakfast first but I think I need to save the bran for some muffins. Getting very excited about eating them not making...

I have read your diary today and it is fab, no need to watch any TV with your diary it has it all Brilliant. Oh yes and your weight loss is awesome. You must be weeny. Stig

Wow, thank you so much for the replies and the food ideas. I will have a look at the quiche and pizza tomorrow. I definitely want to try the muffins. Do I just use food flavouring from a regular shop like Tesco/Asda ? Charly that link was really useful, thank you. I think I will be a size ten by...

Hi Charly,Just read your diary. You have done amazing on every level. The strength of character you are showing your kids (and me) is brilliant. To be in the 10 stones already is fantastic, I am on day 2 of attack and looking at your profile we started at the same weight. Cornwall is an...

Thank you Paulinegin. I think I am probably eating too many onions and garlic. I confess I have had three onions today and yesterday, whoops. Cannot believe I am not hungry. Stig

Day 2 Attack Hello everybody, Well after an appalling 7 years of trying to get back to a size ten I have started the Dukan diet for the first time ! I have tried almost every diet going especially Weight Watchers and Slim Fast both in the past have bought me great results but not in the last...

Good morning all, if anybody is out there! Had a good day yesterday and have got some healthy foods in for today. Not sure if you remember but I was switching over to Soya milk for my shakes'; it is having a fantastic effect on my digestive system! I think I will stay with it. Still no real...

Where are you? I am back. Cheese sandwich naughty gal but hey thats in the past.

Hi I am back Rome was Fab, even better than last time, my son could not get over all the sights. We had a ball and did what we wanted; including eating. I was not silly with food but enjoyed it, with all that walking I had to eat. So the bad news is I have put weight on not too much, mostly...

Hi welcome you seem to being doing really well, you will look fab on your daughters prom night at this rate

Hi Nicki Welcome Sorry to hear about your worries, at least SF works out pretty cheap if you buy it on offer. Be nice to have a new face on the block.

I have packed my backs. Now you have the biggest incentive going.

Well done on the loss. Going back to what you said earlier, I to cannot be bothered sometimes even though I am desperate to loose weight, I almost have a self destruct button !!!

Went for another run, this time my husband ran with me, I felt like I was really running because all the dogs came and when I looked at the smallest dog a Jack Russell he was running with his tiny legs. Saying all that I have been bad food wise. Is our wedding Anniversary today husband got my...

What is wrong with us, we are all being very naughty! I hope you sort your tooth out. Like Rowan I busted one on chocolate mine was a creme egg, have never had one since. Cost me a fortune to have a crown after a filling like Rowans.

Looks like you have been good Rowan. More than I have been.

Oh Rowan even bigger hugs today. It is a circle that is going to be hard to get out of. You really do have a load on your shoulders. The crux of it is weight, but the more down you get about that the more you will eat, we all do and then feel even worse. Husband I cannot comment on, except if...

Tips have you got a spare year or two. Sorry welcome. If you read the dairies people have put down their tips. My favourite is making your SF in an electric bender with a load of ice, it makes it really thick and lasts so much longer. I have been doing the Shred DVD it is fantastic, I had to...

Let us know about the plan, big hugs and lets hope you feel better.

And another, I reckon I have lost the plot. I think I have about the same amount to loose as you. I am not doing very well at the moment but I am trying.

I am confused have you got two diaries going on !!! It is not very hard to confuse me.

Sorry I am veggie,wouldn't have a clue. Welcome back, all paths lead to Slim Fast in the end.

Well done for being good. You can do it. B+ Try a little fruit tomorrow. It does fill you up more. Mind I am good at preaching, am I good in practice C-.

Well done, when I have been bad I just keep going.......................................

Chocolate, yummy scrummy. Still you know what you did wrong. Glad you felt nice last night, it is lovely when people notice

That must be so hard, I guess I am real lucky as most of immediate family live with 2 miles, that being said I have not seen my sister since Christmas! Staying the same and eating enough food for a small country, I would call that a result.

oops I did it again, okay it was more of a walk run but I felt I was doing a bit. Yes Rome and food, a tricky one, no it isn't really I will be good at breakfast and lunch and then after a days walking around all those sights have something nice.

Hi I am still around but now my son is back at school trying to catch up on stuff. Right still not eating great but wait for it I went for a run this morning yes pick yourselves of the floor, I did about 2 and a half K walked a bit. I took the strongest dog so he could pull me LOL It's a start...

Oh Rowan that must be so hard, I hope it has gone today That must be soul destroying, especially as it puts you over the stone barrier. But on a positive it is only water and will go. Good luck

Okay boys and gals not been good all week even had chip shop chips last night but son is well and should return to school tomorrow, I am not 100% yet so Jill will have to weight LOL. Off to Rome a week tomorrow so will aim to get to the weight it shows on my profile, 3lb higher. I should be able...

You will get there, I wonder if all this weight stuff is in the genes? LOL

BK have you been good???

Enjoy your holiday, I am sure you will look lovely. I have been to Primark and bought some light scarves to cover the front of my self, all smoke and mirrors. Where are you staying?

Welcome back, I have not read your diary but will take the time today. Well done on staying the same.

Yes good luck for April. Well done for doing up your top. I went to Holister after Christmas and I was going to treat myself to one of those check shirts, picked a few out, tried them on and they were all so tight around the arms, saved a fortune went to Primark and theirs fit really well.

Bikerkitty you gave me a lovely vision of you running smiling to get you Davina DVD, I am sure no one runs to get an excerise DVD, may run afterwards that it is done

You are so right about doing it slowly. I remember complaining about losing 1lb the other day and now I have put on, I would give anything for a loss. Keep it up good luck for today

Turning into a noodle that would be great, they are long and slim, yes. You are really good doing your moves every day.

31 minutes sounds like a very good time. Looks like we are looking to the future with exercise in it.

I am trying to be really good but it really is not working. Not feeling well myself and looking after my son who now is going to be off school until at least Monday is testing me. I so want to get back to Shred but it will have to wait. On a plus a friend has asked me to do a 5k with her in...

Hope today goes well, be good when you go home you know what they are like !!!

Hope all went well at the doctors. You go for it with the exercise, sweat is the best, you know you have done your best.

YumyMumy glad to hear you feel better. Running on the road is different as the machine will keep you going but saying that you have made a fantastic start, I could not think of a better place to run than Liverpool, go for it gal.

If your daughter is anything like my son was out of the push chair by about 18 months for a good year but I still took it out great for carrying things but then he suddenly wanted to go back in it. I do that with food have the same two meals sometimes. Good luck

Hi Thanks Rowan, he is still ill have an appointment this morning hope he is okay. I am trying to be good and will go with you and aim for a good Feb but the last week I am in Rome not a lot of hope of being really good there, will have to eat what we can afford, might be Mcdonalds all the way...

I hope your swelling is better today. I know these weeks are the worst especially when not seeing the weight loose. I am sure the time that buggy has gone you will have lost enough to feel confident.

Hi Sorry mind has not really been on diet, thank you so much for the kind words for my son, he is still not well (not serious but uncomfortable). First things first, I was going to swap to WW that was doing it at home but it just did not work for me, I do not have a stop eating button so I was...

I have got some soya milk but I have made a decision today, as I have more a less stayed the same this week, I am going to change my diet for a few days. I am going to stay on this site but am going to try WW, where I will eat more. It has been a hard decision but I need to do something as I...

Well done for doing something about it, we all have slips. I loose and gain the same stone every year !! Slimming World I have heard good things about, good luck with it.

Hi I hope you don't mind me joining you guys, I have read all the posts and you are all doing great. I got my DVD on Wednesday and have done four days, the first day I was almost sick but bucked up the courage to do the next, it was easier by a mile and the next two were even better. I find I...

Sorry I am a Slim Fast gal, always buy it when it is on offer in bulk £2.99 for a can of twelve meals. But as you say it is really the same as Ultra Slim. How is it going? If you read through the slim Fast posts there are some good ways of making the shakes taste better, like putting a spoonful...

Glad to see some old bodies back, feels better. Well have done day four of Jillian and I do feel better, not aching so much today, I guess my body is getting used to it. The animals are not joining in so much, it is very hard to do press ups anyway but with the dogs trying to lick the sweat of...

Your room will look lovely when you have finished (well it better!). Good luck next week. Being fit will help as well.

Good to have you back. It seems a few people are having a difficult time at this week, hang in there and those pink jeans will be on before you know it. So good to have you Back. Like you I have a mirror but mine is in he bathroom so when I get out of the bath I have to face the truth !!

Well done , what have you done to get such great results? I am not loosing at any rate.

You can pull it back,the good news is you are angry and you know you are self destructing ! July is an age away. Set yourself another goal really close and you will get there. Reading your post last week you were on a up, you can get back there.

Good-on you to have a treat, we have to have some nice/ different foods or we would go mad. In the mornings I only get hungry when I eat, then it triggers something in me.

5"Wow that is fantastic. I have just done day 3. The first day I just wanted to be sick, day 2 and 3 much easier. Walking and getting in and out of the car was murder but I took myself for a brisk walk before this mornings and it did the trick. I also dived into the bath straight after so my...

Kitty are you still here, not sure what to do as this site is not like it used to be! There are only a few of us to bounce of.

Just done day 3 of Shred and is much easier, can breath straight after that is a bonus. This site is so dead not sure where everyone has gone but I hope everyone is still working hard. It feels very lonely.

I am glad you got the Shred DVD, I have only done two days so far but it really works you. Yesterday I felt sick afterwards but today it was much easier, walking tonight is not the easiest but I will do it again tomorrow. There is no point in doing the exercise and not feel the results. It is...

I would be really hungry, have you drunk it now ?

I love the biggest looser, that is one of the reasons I chose the DVD because I believe in Jillian. I will see what happens to my weight loss whilst doing the DVD, it couldn't get any slower if it tried and I have been really good food wise, it was the exercise I needed to step up which I have...

Still having a good day, it has flown past with the work out, then took the dogs for a walk, on the way back a neighbour invited me in for coffee back home some of the awful stuff called house work, also had some soup. I had a WW tomato and something it was full of flavour, really nice. Time for...

Well you gave it ago and now know its not for you, I am too over the top with the weigh in stuff 10 times a day. You must not mention Liverpool when I was little it was my home town and I love it. I sthe run a long the river, how wonderful that would be.

I am not scientist but you do have to feed the body if you are doing a lot of exercise. The girls on the Slim Fast diaries have been having the same problem and have started eating more and are loosing weight. Good Luck I have just done day two and it was much easier, I was dreading it but it...

Kitty glad you are eating again. Your mum is smashing. Cats, What are they like? One of mine insists on watching me do me Jillian DVD !!! I bet she is laughing!!

Ache a bit today but have done it all again and it felt so much better today, feel a bit wobbly but not like last night I could not eat for ages. There are little bit about an inch around my body that ache, I guess they are muscles. Jillian manages to keep me motivated. My weight seems to stay...

I don't mean to copy you but I am going to again today .... Soup. I am trying to mix up my diet and I saw soup and I am going to have it. Thanks

Well, what can I say that is fantastic. When is the your race ? Which one? I did one about 5 years ago but I had a different body then and was a gym addict. I have 3 dogs and swear every time I go on a diet I will run with them but do I. You are very lucky to have your husband.

Lil I can imagine how you feel, my muscles already hurt normally do not get that until the next day. I do hope I can do it tomorrow !!

Hi Guys After waiting a week for my Shred DVD it arrived today. Well it is so good, I have been finished about 15 minutes and I still feel sick. I managed the whole of level one apart for the cool down, I could not decided to go to the bathroom to be sick or continue, in the end just stood...

I have done it. Jillian has nearly killed me parts are fine, the weights and crunches but the jumping bits.... I just wanted to vomit afterwards. Will do it tomorrow, it is really good, I am far mored tired than when I used to do an hour in the gym with my trainer. I must remember not to eat...

Had the cottage cheese for lunch with those original ryvita crisp breads really nice and much more filling than I thought it would be.

Rowan where are you, you must come back you inspire me so much.

It is here at last, will do it after school pick up. If I do not post again today you know Jillian has killed me !

Don't give in, you can do it. Think why you want to loose, maybe readjust your diet. Your goal is getting closer and you would feel great if you got to it. I know its not easy I have given up about 200 times over the last 5 years but I do want to be a yummy mummy for my son, picturing him being...

Well done, you are right it has paid of. It is a hard concept to realise we have to eat to loose, I must eat more.

Let us know how the weigh in went. Also how is the decorating going? Saw cottage cheese on your menu, going to get some. Good luck

Your hips are much better than mine. I have a hour glass figure not 1 hour about 48 hours LOL

A bit worried about no one being around, hope you guys are okay. Very tired today, I hope I have not got the flu coming on, I want to do that DVD when it comes.

I have never had one hot. Have not seen it recently but they used to do a Hot Chocolate. Still very quiet, I hope everyone is okay ! The jeans will get there.

Had a better day today. Did drink far too much coffee and got that sick feeling. Got my hand weights for when my Shred DVD comes.

Hi I am still here!! Not sure where the others are. How did the trying on of clothes go?

I wonder why some of us are feeling the need to eat! Be good.

Yummy Mummy I did laugh !! Well my chocolate worked, something I must not do every day. Working my way up to breakfast, do not like it too early or lunch seems so far away. Funny I have not eaten since about 6.30 last night never hungry to I start eating. Going for coffee with a friend today, I...

Okay , are you all sitting in your little boxes because it is confession time........... I will say this very fast, I have eaten chocolate more than I should......... Part of it was for good, part not, it does help me when I am constipated which I am(sorry) It was the good stuff (if any...

I would be chuffed as well. Bladderwrack.... let me know if it works, I will try any thing that will help.

Good attitude and loosing so much last week, well done.

Have inspired me to measure myself.

Forgot to say yesterday, great idea the Pics. I still have not got around to taking before and during photos. What do I do with my days!!

I agree about the lemon shake just sugar in a can!! Fingers are crossed for you.

I keep thinking that I will do that, throw all my clothes out, that get too big. Mind nothing is yet !!!

Well done. I think this site re enforces what we know deep down, you have come to a decision that makes sense. Running a good cheap way to keep fit, my husband is a runner 3-4 times a week, miles at a time, can eat what he likes; Keep it up you have done a Fab start.

And......., the suspense is killing us. Perhaps if we run on the spot whilst waiting for the results to come in we could call it the Waiting For Results Work Out !!! I will have copyright to the DVD ! Sorry have lost the plot.

Well, here I am on weigh in day and the results again are pants ! but hey ho. I even put on weight since Friday but lost weight over the whole week, if you get my drift. 1lb again, I still have the half I lost last week as well. So really I now weigh 159.5. My Shred DVD has not arrived yet but...

That is a nice ex to do the cooking ! Still early days with the weight loss, Thursday things will look better.

Enjoy . Very funny about your jeans, you can get a new pair.

I read up on it earlier and it is a real though one, there is no room to maneuver with lipotrim. Your husband needs a cup of tea and a big thank you, as you say you are a whole lot better at the moment and the weight loss will come with that. Now go and make that cup of tea.

As you say a little over is much much better than what you would have had, so brilliant.

I mentally feel better with this way of thinking, I will work just as hard without the pressure of the scales.

Smash I am gonna get some. Have you had your Chicken Quorn yet, my dinner is cooking. Yummy

You are doing so well. You will have to find something that weighs 15lb and see what you have lost. You must be on a natural high.

Had a great day with the kids, well at least they all went home safely, remind me not to become a teacher ! Kept busy but had to eat my lunch at 5.30 and dinner at 6.30 not good, could have skipped but thought that might not be a good idea. I am definitely not feeling so hungry now days, seem...

I love mash but tend not to eat it as it makes me ill for some reason, probably because I eat it too fast LOL.

Good luck, keep us posted. Sounds good might read up on it as I have no idea what it is.

Well done for your start. Have another good one today. Weight Watchers puddings mmmmmmmm....... lovely, esp the eclairs.

Rowan sorry forgot Feb is only a few days away. I agree with you, as long as we get there and keep going thats the main thing, not when. I am tired of waking in the morning and being disappointed that I have stayed the same or hardly lost so I am taking the attitude Rome was not built in a day.

Ride on next year, this time I will keep it of ! When I lost weight for my wedding I used SF and I lost a load of weight and working shifts, so I agree with you it is good to work around your job. I think we had the same kind of job I was a RSW with teenagers. Did you buy Shred in the shops? I...

Houmus lovely ! One of my favs. Is it very high in cals? Pitta bread is good on a diet. Do your friends support you ? I have two sorts of friends, only a couple are really supportive and always make me feel good about it and a few others who just don't understand dieting. Part of the reason I...

Welcome, the slim fast guys are really supportive. Try an electric blender and put ice with it, it makes it very thick and really fills you up. I haven't done it but some put a spoonful of coffee with their vanilla and love it. Make sure you are eating enough as you seem to be doing a lot of...

You said in an earlier post you were constipated perhaps your body is hanging on. If you were 2lb down yesterday it will come off again, it probably is your body sorting it self out. I know it is soul destroying isn't it.

Sweet potato is meant to be good, I have never tried it but friends love it mashed.

How did the interview go? I am veggie to and it is hard in restaurants with what they think a veggie should eat. You are on a roll with your weight. Have a little slack for your birthday, don't go mad but enjoy. Gary Barlow who suffers from weight gain as well diets all week and has Saturdays...

We still have our fingers crossed; How was the weight in?

I never really noticed the pain in my teeth, just had a rubbish dentist when he left had one who cared if I kept my teeth and spotted the problems (how I missed it do not know, how my gums looked). I get tooth ache when I am stressed or tired which apparently is very normal. If you re-loose the...

I guess new birth year new you. Sainsburys used to do lovely low fat chips.

I am sure the rabbit and cats will be happier and one less thing for you to worry about. It is horrible feeling down and not knowing how to feel happier. We are all sending you the happy feeling to help you on your way.

I put it in an electric blender with a load of ice and it tastes fantastic.

I swear some are born to fight the weight but I am sure those who can eat anything have their own battles (well I hope they do).

Will look out for Melted. Is that Harvey who used to be on Fat Club ? My DVD is still not here. Had a good day yesterday, I went out to two eating places with my mother and son who ate at both of them and I was very good, even past on Pesto and leek soup, I love pesto. In the evening was at one...

Teeth, glad the pain has gone. As iI mentioned before I am prone to gum disease and have bone loss in fact a lot has gone so 3 years ago I had 3 operations to have some kind of re growth in the gum. Make sure you go over the top when cleaning, get the best tooth brush you can. Diet you seem well...

Kitty are you feeling better today, hopefully you had a chat with debs. Don't blow the diet you have done soooo good.

It could just be the other day catching up and will pan out tomorrow. Don't feel too bad.

Waiting for the DVD, cannot wait. Back to feeling positive. Still working on my targets, I think the first might be hard to meet would like to at least be under 11 by the time I go to Rome.

I know what you mean, are you sure you are eating enough ! I agree with Laura, it is scary to try but it may be the problem. I am upping the cals this week, like you I hardly lost anything this week and had been really good.

Hi The people who post on the Slim Fast diary are very supportive and some are in for the long haul as well.

We are all watching you so keep off those scales until Sunday(well done though).

You sound in a very good place. Are you doing the 30 day shred? Just ordered it today if so and will start as soon as I can. Your trainer was right.

I think I wanted to give up because I have been so good, with no cheats and I had put weight on. But with the help of my husband and you guys I have not given up. This site is a god send. It really helped buying some different foods yesterday, knowing I have a little bit of chocolate is great...

Well I had that feeling, I am going to give up, my husband talked me out of it, convinced me I did not want to restart my diet in two weeks, when I have put weight on! Oh he knows me. I am going to buy the 30 day shred video, if I can find it. I was going back to the gym but I find the time I...

What a kind daughter and you have to taste everything your children make(must ask my son to make a chocolate mousse). I hope the weigh in goes well tomorrow.

Just a reminder for when you read this, you must be good today ! Did you have fun?

I bet you are glad that is done and the second visit is always easier. I do think there is something in the air, I so nearly cheated big time earlier, my husband took 45 minutes on the phone giving me the pros and cons. It is good you were honest. I reckon soon we will all have to read this...

Oh Kitty that must of knocked you for six, at least you are friends. Think of the £200 that will help.

That must of been hard at first. Eggs must be in almost everything.
