Great pics! You looked amazing in your dress - you really deserved to look that great after the journey to get to the size you wanted for the big day! Honeymoon setting looks wonderfully relaxing! You know that you can get the extra pounds off again and you now have the incentive of the...

Hi BG, M and S seem to measure differently from other shops etc so worth being measured by their staff if you want to get any of their bras! I know i got measured by them and in another lingerie store on the same day and the sizes were very different but in both places they were right for...

It was quite edible (although I wouldnt choose it again!). That was the problem I ate it wondering which soup I had put into my veg by mistake and it was only once I had finished it that I thought to check! I was having a very busy day at work, and it did give my staff a laugh!!

It was quite edible (although that doesnt mean I would choose to do it again!)

I keep mine in a large kitchen drawer in a set sequence so I know which line of them is meals, shakes, porridge etc. It didnt work this last week though when i mixed mac cheese powder in with my broccoli and cauli and water microwaved it and then sat down to eat.... I thought it didnt taste...

Hi, I too have had tummy probs over the last couple of days, assume its just a bug! I ended up going onto just water for most of today as I dont think nutrients for one day are too much prob although I may have a vitamin and mineral tablet later! I have just had my first, and probably only...

Well done Maka! The end is in sight! Bet your other half really notices the difference now!

Hi Tara, Just give the ToTM a chance to work through and should then ease the bloatedness and the fluid retention and the pounds should get going. Keep going and you should get a good loss next week! Glad your first day went well! You have done so well, just stay strong and you will get to...

Hi Fran, Have a couple of days off and enjoy time with the family and then get back on track next week. Hope this week has gone well at work! Keep up with the exercise and the weight will be fine for you!

Hi BG. Well done on the 11. Have a good (wine filled) break over Easter. It shouldnt take long to get back on track and see it again! Its not going to feel so ellusive now!! Have fun!

Good luck Chelle. Hope your packs arrive tomorrow so you can really use your positive frame of mind! You sound like a fighter so you should be fine just drink lots of water and stay on track and the weight will fall off before your holiday!

So pleased for you about OH as that must really have been a worry esp with the wedding geting so cose and all the extra expenses! Does that mean you are having to move now? And look for work again yourself? Just remembered one job he went for was a distance away! Mac and cheese is great over...

Its so good to notice all those little changes isnt it. The 'bigger' ones are not as obvious unless clothes start dropping off or tape measure is used but things like wrists and fingers mean that the fits of fat from even the bony bits are going so you must be doing well! The wedding is such a...

Hi Elemental. I adapted the idea from something someone on my previous AAW8 plan suggested last year, although she used marbles in a jam jar whereas I thought using the glass pebble things in vases to coordinate with my lounge would be nicer! I guess it is one of those visual things that a few...

I use my milk as I know I should have the calcium and I dont drink tea or coffee. I also use a sweetener and cinnamon i mine and use a hand whisk to mix every 45 secs until it is thick enough for me! I prefer the porridge as it is more like the real thing whereas the oatmeal tastes fine but is...

Hi everyone, I have another 2 pounds off this week so it is still moving in the right direction although still slower than I would like! Daft thing to say really as what I would like is a stone a week and thats not going to happen!! Still going down though! Its my birthday on tuesday but have...

Hi Moosh, So sorry you have had a bad time recently. I have just caught up on your last couple of days! Glad you seem to be feeling better today! You mentioned an iron deficiency?? Just wondered if that should be checked out too. I binged on chocolate when pregnant as I really needed it and...

Try to focus on smaller goals and it will then seem more achievable. Look at it one stone at a time and initially just getting through a day then a week at a time. If you focus on the total it seems like a mountain! You can do it though! Make sure you have measured yourself too as on the...

Wow what a difference in those measurements! I agree that its the size and how you look and feel that is more important that what the scales say! You must feel and look so different now and should be really proud of your achievements! Keep it going with the exercise and the 'new you' will keep...

Thanks BG. I dont envy you that. At least I have a job even if at the moment I dont get paid!! Hopefully things will improve for both of us! Good luck with yours, that seems to be happening in a lot of companies now. My sister worked for the local education authority and then they farmed her...

Had a mixed week. Very busy again with long working hours and then monday childminding in the evening and tues and weds with evening meetings so 3 days of 6.15am to 9/9.30pm working hours! Very tiring and the exercise once again didnt really happen! Had a couple of low days when I will admit I...

Well done BG. You really seem to have got your head around what works for you and how to maintain in the future. You are so inspirational to the rest of us at the moment with your positive posts and being so near to your goal. You have good reason to be really proud of yourself! (note to self...

Hi and welcome, I would agree that taking your weight or, if you cant face that, just take your measurements would help you to stay motivated and know that it is really working! I dont think I could carry on if I didnt know that my measurements were changing regularly! Even if you did them and...

and learn where everyone elses bathroom is too and all the decent public conveniences! It does settle down though!

Must have made you fell amazing (especially comments from the friends - your bloke may be a little biased but they wont be!!) I would love to try a size 12, think I missed that size out whilst still in junior school!! Come to think of it a dress would be a novelty too as have not worn one of...

Mothers day is a load of commercial hype anyway! I think we should show we love our mums throughout the year not just on a specified day! I am working on the theory thats its better for my kids and grandkids if I can work on my health and my self esteem etc so I am likely to be there for them...

You are doing so well Moosh. Sounds like you are developing a totally new image too! Hope you find something suitable to wear for the funeral! Have a good day

Well done you! Pleased that the scales were on your side! Hope you have a better week this week and that the little one is felling happier too! Keep away from the sweets!!!!!

Hi Fran Good to see you back again! Thanks for the message. I have lost less on my top half because I still have the boobs but have lost the side rolls between chest and waist! In 18 tops but my shirts were a 24. I have shrunk them a bit in the tumbler but the are on the large side and seem to...

We had a staff night out ice skating and ten pin bowling last week as one of the girls was leaving to go travelling for six months! It would seem, from things said to me this week, that a number of the staff were discussing me and my weight loss and how different I look! Sad they have so...

Just wondering how you are? Is your life still as hectic? Have you tried the new porridge? Much more like what we were used to before........and more filling than the oatmeal, I may have to go back to having 2 a day again!! New spag bol and mac cheese are good too and I will try the chilli...

Bound to be your body fighting back after having time off! Keep battling with it and you will win again! Just keep your focus on that beautiful dress! Hope the interview went well for him

Well done Phoenix! As BG says who cares why we are just pleased it is still disappearing and that you are doing so well. Perhaps it is just that you are in control and keeping your body guessing? You are getting closer to your goal each day!

Well done. 5lbs is teriffic. Good luck for week 3!

Hi BG. Thanks for the support. You are doing so well and are now within spitting distance of your goal. I do find that my weight/inch loss seem to have no direct bearing on how I believe I should have done on any particular day/week/month but as long as the general pattern is going down then...

Just had the mac cheese over cauliflower and mushrooms! It was wonderful! Then remembered that I had had a chicken salad for lunch so had far to many veg today. My student at work commented that my salad looked good enough for a restaurant but think he was just shocked to find me eating off a...

But......wont you just love proving them wrong!!!????????

Having a good week with the food at the mo. Work is hectic as have some staff off sick so am kept very busy! On my own last night so decided to measure myself again and was pleased that although I hadnt lost weight the last couple of weeks, as lost the plot a bit, I had still lost some cms which...

Hope you have had a great birthday! Now for your next 26 days. Am sure you will continue to do really well and look amazing for your wedding!

I wasnt keen on the cott pie at first but it has grown on me! I add herbs. garlic, lee and perrins and mushrooms and really like it now. Ignore how it looks, reminds me of baby food, but tastes fine and I do find it filling! I add cinnamon to the porridge too to give it a bit more flavour!

Where did you find the virtual model site? Shows how well you have done too! Thats really good I would like to try that as I have never been the weight I am aiming at (well guess i must have been once but was prob at junior school!!)

Good to see you are still here! I can really relate to the bad week and the carb eating and lethergy that it seems to cause, it just becomes a vicious circle as that then causes more depressive thoughts and brings you further down! I am trying to dig myself out of the same sort of pit at the...

Thanks Zoe, Fran and BG. As the day has gone on I have gradually felt more positive about life, and my ability to get on with the diet! Have had my packs veg and vitamins today and lots of water so doing ok! Hopefully after a good nights sleep I can feel myself again and just get on with life...

Tara you look great! I dont see a problem area at all - your arms look fine and the dress looks lovely on you! Have a wonderful time

I am back again! Took a while to find myself (in more ways than one as I was on page four on here!) I have had a pretty s**t couple of weeks and am now getting my head back together. I have been pretty ok at mealtimes but the rest of the time has not been good and so have had a few extras and...

Well done BG! What a milestone, you must be soooooooo pleased! Keep it going, your goal is getting very near now!

That made me laugh! Not at your expense but in the 'someone else out there like me!!!!!' type way! I have a couple of cups of oolong tea and a teaspoon of bran on my porridge each day now to keep me 'regular'! I know there is little waste going in but I get sever stomach cramps if I dont get...

How are you geting on??????

Hi, welcome to S and S! I am the same age as you so you are not alone with the post menopause feelings! The difference is that I have been overweight all my life and am now on the journey to being a weight I am happy with. I have tried every diet (almost !!) over the years and really find that...

That is beautiful and you will look so amazing in it! Perhaps a wedding is what I need to get me focussed, I will just go and break the news to my husband!! Could do vow renewall after 34 years or could just trade him in I guess???? I hope your fiance is really proud of how you are doing!

Hi Fran Was wondering how you were! Glad you are having a good diet week so far even if you are busy! I keep popping on but there are so many peoples diaries to read I never seem to catch up let alone do mine! I am not having a good week as my niece in hosp having invasive surgery to see if she...

Wow that was fascinating and so motivating for the rest of us not only sharing your journey but also your thoughts and feelings. You have done amazingly well and really have been committed throughout and also seem to have your future sorted out too! Well done you have so many reasons to be...

Im so glad I am not the only one who loses the ability to count when I have a bar!I ordered 5 in my last order and when I went to get one three days later they had all gone! It is all a learning curve though!

This is a fascinating thread! All your talk of herding reminded me of my parents dog a few years ago. Her mum was a working sheepdog who had a 'fling' with a black lab! My parents dog Zillah, looked like a lab but a bit smaller and had a fluffy black and white tail and the feathering of a...

We looked at a double one but then I remembered that at some point we are likely to get forced onto a water meter! Wouldnt use as a double anyway as I love steaming baths to read and relax in and hubby has warm baths (ugh) but prefers showers! Just thought the whirlpool may help with my back...

At least you are showing an overall loss! I bet that the Fran in your previous life would have used the busy month and the injury as an excuse to come off plan and not go to the gym and would have put on a few pounds!! You have done so incredibly well with your weight loss and I am sure that...

Its her step mum that wont want her to have too much stuff in their house! Granddaughter would prob hold onto everything! I have tried to prioritise so the things that mean most will be kept, some at her home and some at mine (to keep the peace) but getting rid of a lot! We have no loft as...

Just hope I am cut and pasting the full list - I am a bit confused now! CammieGirl..............24lbs (0lb lost, 24lb to go) Lots2lose36.............14lbs(0lb lost, 14lb to go) Bordersgirl ............. 10lb (0lb lost, 10lb to go) Weasey ................ 14lbs (0lb lost, 14lb to go) Trisha...

Hello and welcome to the site! Of course you can join in. Most people seem to start by doing a diary so we can get to know you and follow your progress. You can also ask any questions you have and get ideas on here. You may find it useful to read some other diaries and other threads to get ideas...

Bit traumatic today deciding what to send to grandaughter and what to get rid of. Hubby and I kept disagreeing! I work on the idea that if we send a few things she will be able to find somewhere to keep them but if we send too much she will then have to get rid of things herself or my D.in L...

Wow you have had a terrific loss already! Welcome to S&S, hope you enjoy the change of packs. I came from another vlcd too and have been impressed with the packs on this one, especially the meals and having vegetables so normalising the foods. It is very friendly on here although there are so...

So lovely to get the compliments though. You deserve an odd couple of hours off plan and to get the attention for all your hard work! You know you can get straight back to it and get the last pounds off to look even better next time they see you! I think the rest of our lives will be a balance...

Thank you everyone! Cable - I see her about once a month when we go up to visit them! They sometimes come down as a family to stay but its not the same as she now has a step brother (8) and a little half sister (3) in the family so I have to treat them all the same but my feelings are not...

Meals Spag bol - love it esp with extra herbs and garlic and mixed with mushrooms and broccoli/cauli Chilli - as above! Really surprised me as it isnt something I would usually choose to eat! Cottage pie - needs extra flavouring (lee and perrins and herbs/garlic) strange consistancy but quite a...

How are you getting on Nicola?????

You have done so amazingly well you should be proud of yourself! I agree with the others that perhaps you need to begin adding low carb foods and perhaps see it as a period of readjustment to real eating. Perhaps your last stone may be slow to go but perhaps your body is trying to let you know...

A belated weigh in done today and 3lbs lost! Brings me to 9lbs so far in february so not bad. I have never been a person who has big losses and after dieting for a yearish am not going to see them now but I am still losing!!!! Been a very busy week at work so not getting on here much, but what...

It would be interesting to know if you drink less when you dont have the zeros and flavoured water bottles. It wouldnt surprise me if there was an ingredient in the coca cola type drinks that would make you more thirsty? Will have to ask my father-out-law sometime as he is a flavourist and used...

Sounds like your belt will be a great benchmark for your weightloss Minimoosh. I would hang onto it and see how many new holes you need on the way to goal! Shows how well you have done and are still doing!

Gosh you lot, I have just read through the last few hours on here and feel like I am spying on a private group of friends chatting over their coffee, or the ladies who lunch??? You all sound so positive and motivated though so it was a very positive spy for me on your chatting to each other...

I have just realised something I must have started doing recently! I have been sitting watching 'dancing on ice' and 'wild at heart' and suddenly realised that I am sitting on the sofa with my legs crossed just like a 'normal' person does when they sit on a chair! I never used to be able to...

Interesting site! Am sure I am fatter than those in photos at my current weight and may need to rethink my target as the ones at my target are still bigger than I would like to be! I wonder if any of us see ourselves as we really are! I still automatically look for the size of clothes I was 6...

Well done Elemental 1 - 0 Breadbin (and Family) You have made it through a rough day and should be pleased with yourself! (no, that doesnt mean you get an edible reward!) You have proved that you are strong and dont have to give in to temptation which makes the future...

I agree with the others.........you need to focus on yourself and your goals at the moment, it will help to take your mind off everything else that is happening and help you to feel good about yourself and what you can achieve. This is a part of your life you can still have control over so do...

Well done Frannie, its going down and so getting closer to your target! Have a good week!

I managed to get through my grandaughters birthday! We went to a harvester for lunch so I had the self service salad bowl and a chicken breast and drank a large glass of tapwater!! I did have a very minute taste of her birthday cake as she wanted me to try it but it would have fitted on a...

Sounds like a good evening, you did well! Good luck for tomorrows weigh in, you should be fine!

Glad you are back in Ketosis! Of course you can do it, just believe in yourself and get out and buy that top to motivate you! Sounds like you are having a good day, and feeling positive, so I really hope it continues for you and things fall into place again and that weight falls off quickly!

Hi Linda, The vase is just for this stage of my journey! Mine started a year, and a few stone, ago. It also dosnt take me to the end of the weight loss just to a weight where I can reassess how much I want as my final goal! I just wanted something visual to help me now. I would have probably...

Well done to both of you!

I just put mine in a container with a decent lid on and shake! I dont have a fancy ball type shaker but like you I would react very badly to lumps but so far they have blended far better than any other diet shakes I have had so no problem!

Well done BG. Pleased that they are moving again for weigh day!!

Only one pound gone, but it does take me into the next stone bracket. Also lost another 5cms. Dissappointed? yes, surprised? no!!!! I had three meals over the weekend and although tried to be careful I knew I would not be in for a great loss this week! I dont tend to lose fast at the best of...

Greasy horrible chinese, just think of the effects on your waistline and your skin! Stay strong, you are doing brilliantly. You will be the one laughing when you look terrific walking down the aisle!

I find the distraction on here definately helps! You are so close now........ perhaps you need to think of an outfit you really want to wear or hang a size 14 top you really like somewhere obvious and just look at it and try it on when you get tempted? You are right just a few short weeks of...

I dont think life quite works like that anymore! My youngest had just gone off to uni when my eldest and his partner split up and he moved back home with their little one who had just had her first birthday! We had both of them for most of the next eight years with a time when we just had our...

Whoops! Had a good nights sleep and managed to oversleep this morning so didnt get around to jumping on the scales! To busy trying to get dressed and sorted before kids arrived to be looked after, not quite the thing to be in my dressing gown when they arrive at nursery!! Weigh in will now be...

A photo of you in one trouser leg if definately something that needs sharing on here!

Hi Fran. Hope you have had a better day today??

Hope it arrived so you didnt have to spend the day in your PJs! How has your day gone??

Thank you BG. It just seemed a bit daft still saying I was about to start!! My parents both in their eighties and mum still driving (prob the next major issue to tackle with her) Its so hard when this role reversal happens though and you battle with your parents and their need for independence...

Any idea how I can change the title of my thread for my diary?????

Well done and you have such a positive way of thinking which must not only help you toward your goal but also inspire the rest of us! You are going to look amazing at your wedding!

Weekend wasnt too bad although I did eat a couple of meals with family (in Sussex for mums birthday) whilst trying to stay low on the carbs though! I dont expect to have lost this week but straight back on the plan this morning again and had a good day! Had to speak to my parents about my dad...

We all get bad days/weeks so you are not alone! Just persevere and it will come good! You have chosen this diet and you know from others, and yourself, that it works so believe in it and believe in yourself, the weight will go down, not in a neat equal amount each week but it will shift! Our...

Welcome home! Hope you had a realy good week. I can understand the not wanting to weigh but hopefully you will be back into ketosis quickly and have a nice surprise next weekend! Good to have you back again!

Hi Fran, Good to see you have started a diary too! I am sure it will help you, it is a good distraction when the kitchen is calling your name anyway. Remember to keep away from the apples now!! I found that the vibration plate did help, it is not just standing on it but getting into different...

You are doing really well. I set up my ticker last week and all the info is in the section labled tutorials, on the blue panel at the top of the page on here.

Well done. 16lbs gone in four weeks is amazing! Into the next stone too, you should be so proud of yourself! Have a good week five!

Just jump back on and it will be fine!!!!!

First week gone and 5lbs down:party0019: Also 2cm from bust, 2cm from waist and another 8cm from othered measured parts!! HAPPY!!!!!!!:);)

Thanks Laura I forgot to say I also lost 2cm on my waist, 2cm on my bust and another 8cm from various other measurements!! Every little bit helps!!

5lbs off this week! Happy with that as I didnt expect a huge loss after coming straight from another plan to this one! I have bought 2 small glass vases and put 61 small glass pebbles (purple and lilac) into one to represent the pounds i want to lose on this part of my journey - 5 now moved to...

I am inconsistant! During the week my days are so long that i did have 4 a day plus salad or veg. Yesterday I only had 3 and today it will be 3 plus chicken and veg! It relieves the monotony and hope that works ok! Will find out on Tuesday. Good luck for tomorrow!

Hi Maka, you seem to be doing really well! How is life with you out there? Are you managing to surprise your hubby with your losses? He must have noticed a difference at Christmas? Keep it up! Gosh that makes 3 of us on here......any more???????

Does seem a bit of a silly mistake on behalf of the company to wrap them in this way! If we could stop at one of anything we wouldnt be needing their products would we!!!! I only had one pack in my first order and will also admit to eating them both assuming they were one pack!! Really nice...

Hi Fran, yes it is me! I moved over for pretty similar reasons, anxious about ordering, feeling we were being kept in the dark, no local consultant + no blog = no support available etc! Looked around at a few including support sites (vital to me) and ended up on here with S&S. Have my first...

Go for it L2L! Gotta do what makes you feel happy in your skin! She isnt much of a friend if she cant support and encourage you - I would feel tempted to say so!! Yes you have to know when to stop but I am sure you will make the right decision when you get there! You are doing incredibly so use...

I would go with ordering your faves as you are more likely to enjoy and stick with it rather than feel you are missing out!! If the carbs/cals etc are similar could you have some of each and alternate orders as the funding allows so you get an overlap of enjoyable and economical? Lots of people...

So pleased you have had such a good and productive day today. Into smaller clothes too well done, must feel great!!

Well done on a good loss this week, and on feeling a bit better! Hope you have a good week

Doing ok. Had a really busy week so diary not been a priority! I have been catching up on everyone elses diaries as I got a few minutes to spare here and there but had little time to comment on many! SO.......... a group well done to you all! Bit of a cheat I know! I do find the progress of...

Men are known to lose faster than women no matter what sort of diet they are using - that equates to the fact if you were both doing his diet you would probably have lost less than you have and if he was doing S&S he would probably have lost more than you! BUT we all have to do what works best...

Do you just need copies of policies etc? There are places you can access online for copies also I can share mine.....I have a nursery in Devon! Also I dont know what age the kids you care for are but if they go to a preschool/nursery then you could see if you could go with them for a session a...

Glad day 1 went well for you! You are doing fine! I agree that most of the packs are really nice, so far my favourites are the spag bol, chilli and choc one with the cereal bits it! Hope day two is as good for you!

Naughty me, I got on the scales this morning as was feeling tired, cold and fed up................2lbs gone in 2 days!!!!! Smiling now!!!!!!!

Well done for starting! You sound like your head is in the right place to do this and achieve your goals! Please do try and succeed now and conquer your weight and food issues so it doesnt become a major part of your life! I too lost weight for my wedding, in my twenties, and then put it back...

Hi, I overdid the milk in my porridge this morning but just zapped it a bit longer in the microwave and it thickened up fine. I am hopeless at remembering to weigh or measure things and just estimate with the liquids cooking longer if too thin and adding water if too thick! You seem to be doing...

Wow you are doing really well! Its o good to see such a difference in your measurements in such a short time! Well done

Hi there, Day two out of the way now. I had the porridge at 6.20 before work, chilli (with broccoli) at 12, which i really liked although would not usually eat chilli! Cottage pie at 6.30 and had a bar cut into pieces at intervals throughout the day! Also have had 4L of water so done ok! Not...

I guess in my head I had thought about trying 3 packs plus veg so I had more than I had planned! Glad you think its all ok though! I will aim at three packs but not panic if I need four then! Thank you

Just finished work and today has been fine! I did my weighing and measuring (depressing but not as bad as it was last year!!). I had the porridgy thing at 6.20am (working at 6.30) which was ok but I will use a whisk tomorrow so it blends better and perhaps add cinnamon if that is ok? Had a...

Well done. I have started today so we will have to compare notes! Good luck for day 2!

Dark choc in small amounts is allowed on the Go Lower plan as an occasional treat (I lost 5 stone on that - and yes I did have the occasional choc!!) I agree with the others that you have got to adjust your diet slightly to conpensate for your bodies needs, it shouldnt stop your weightloss so...

Well I am impressed so far! I sent in my order online on friday night and it arrived at 7.30 this morning!! As I was at work I was not able to get myself organised and I worked 6.30am to 8.30pm today so will do the weighing and measuring in the morning and start then! So pleased that I can get...

Well done! Great for you to have the motivation of clothes fitting (and especially being too big!) but also so motivatiing for newbies like me to see the testimonials that show it really works and that your story could be ours one day!! Keep it going, you are so nearly there now!

Will try to get that sorted when packs arrive and I get started so everything is accurate for start date! Good luck for your weigh in on Tuesday, am sure it will be great and give you the motivation you need!

Me too......good focus for when my packs arrive! Cherry-Blossom ....... 14lb (0lb lost, 14lb to go) Lots2lose36. 12lbs (0lbs lost, 12lbs to go) lastdiet4me 10lbs (0lbs lost, 10lbs to go) MiniMoosh 14lb (0lb lost, 14lb to go) Bordersgirl 10lb (0lb lost, 10lb to go) PrincessK4ty 18lb (0lb lost...

Hi there. Its hard getting your head around a new diet isnt it? I havent even had my order but want to get going as soon as it arrives! How are you finding it so far? It is great that everyone seems so friendly on here, makes you feel that you are not alone with the weight issues and the...

I hate my legs, yep all of both of them! Think well over half my body weight is there! My ambition is to get a pair of knee high boots as I have never been able to have a pair to fit me! Bit I like......the only thing I get compiments on is my smile so I guess thats my best feature! totally...

Thank you! I am one of those people that likes to get things organised in my head, and on paper! have had a file for each of the other diets done with printed off recipe ideas etc made from the shakes. I think its because I work such long days running my business I need to be organised and ready...

Where do I find a list of allowable veggies etc for S&S? Cant see one on their website! All these diets seem to vary a bit and I do want to do it right. Also are proteins allowed twinkabelle? If so are they specific types and quantities? Dont know if I have missed reading something...

Yes I will need the veggies too, just normalises the meals and stops hubby moaning that I am not eating enough!!! Thanks for all the replies! Just cant wait to get started now and interested to see if I get a decent first week loss when just moving from one diet to another! A little voice in my...

Think we all vary how much it shows and how quickly our clothes loosen but it will happen. I still wear the same work tee shirts mut there is soooo much room in them now - dont want new ones till they look to awful or till I am a size I am happy with though! Trousers have had to be replaced as...

I have been doing AAW8 and prior to that Go Lower! I found after the first couple of weeks it just became a way of life and fits into my day well (I work 6.30am to 5.30pm minimum so packs are easy and quick to have). I have had the odd blip and day off here and there but most of the time have...

I have a cup or two of oolong tea each day as I hate that bunged up feeling and it certainly helps me. I buy from an asian cookshop online as are cheaper there but think some health food shops also sell but are more costly! Tastes ok with a sweetener in so I shall probably continue to use on S...

Hi Scotbean, you have done amazingly well in two weeks! Are you finding the plan easy and the packs ok? I dont expect to have any great losses as am pretty much going from one plan to another but would be more than happy to be proved wrong!!!

Hi, I have been following you all quietly for a few days whilst deciding how best to continue my weight loss journey! (I feel a bit like a stalker finding out about you all when you dont know I am here!!) I have just done an order to S&S so will start as soon as it arrives! I have been...
