Hi Alison, hope you have had a lovely weekend. Bet everyone noticed your shrinking frame! So is it now down to some serious training for the Race for Life? I have a badminton competition in just under two weeks plus a hiking holiday next month (with hubby's hillwalking club who are all pretty...

Yes indeed Maka. Have had a lovely weekend but really overindulged in everything. I know I will have put on a few pounds but met up with family that I hadn't seen for a while and they complimented me on my slimmer figure. Felt good in my size 12 skinny jeans but know I need to get back on track...

Yep, Maka, you are not wrong there. I think I will give myself a bit of a break from the packs this weekend and go back with a vengeance on Monday. Plan to do a fair bit of gym and walking too so hopefully that will keep me on an even keel. I am also tracking my food and exercise on My Fitness...

Why, oh why did I eat 3 digestive biscuits today..????? Just logged them in MFP and they contain 213 calories and 28g of fat. Still under 1000 calories for the day, but yet again I have taken myself out of ketosis:sigh:. My lovely daughter had just left the opened packet lying there and I just...

Hello again BG, just catching up on your diary. I see you have re-assessed you set your target lower. I did the same myself as began to creep towards the normal BMI range. Not there yet of course, it's slow, slow, slow for me now! I know because I am still not comfortable in a size 14 top, that...

Another 1lb off this morning. Finding it more difficult to keep motivated though as I am only 4 lbs away from a BMI below 25. I have had an eat what I like day today (naughty, naughty). I know that it is great to be at a healthy weight, but I know by the muffin top that I still have a bit more...

After my blow out last weekend, I have been reasonably ok this week. Although not 100%, I have been tracking everything and have made sure I stayed below 1000 calories every day. That said, I have tried to keep the carbs down below 60g although I got caught out a couple of times with foods that...

Hi Sue, another 1 hour 30 minutes tennis and 30minutes circuits and V plate. Many thanks

Well done Tara on your 4 lbs weight loss and good luck to OH on job interview.

Hi Sue, can you please update me for 2 hours badminton and 1 hour 30 minutes tennis. I would be happy to help out with updates but unfortunately don't get much time to be on here. And I am the slowest typist ever! If you wanted a break, couldn't we just update our own?

Just catching up BG with diaries. How well you are doing! What a boost for you also that you are fitting your smaller clothes. Absolutely brilliant. Thanks too for tips on the low carb stuff. I will definitely check that out.

Only a pound lost this week which is actually better than it could have been. I have been tracking my food on My Fitness Pal and it is truly amazing how much the calories/carbs can pile up even with just a few indiscretions! However, even though I did not lose too much weight, I have lost some...

Hi Sue, 45 mins spin and 30 mins walking today. Many thanks:)

Hi Sue, can you please update me for another three hours? 1 hour badminton, 1 hour body combat and 1 hour tennis. Many thanks.

Been pretty busy at work, so just popping in to say hi. Have been reasonably ok the past few days but not 100%. I have started to track things on My Fitness Pal (as used by a few folk on here). I think it is emphasising to me exactly how off track I can go. I thought I knew it all as well...

Keep going Claire, I am back on the straight and narrow after what has been a ridiculous few weeks (if I can do it, so can you). Yes, you have undone some of your good work but most of your gain will be fluid and you can be back in ketosis in a couple of days. Dust yourself down, get back on...

No worries about whether or not you should be on here Elemental. The way I am (not) sticking to diet, I should be elsewhere too! Nevertheless, we are still here and the intentions are good..... Glad to hear that even though you are supplementing the packs with other foods, you are still losing...

Great result Katie, you are doing so well:D. Keep going and dont get hung up on the weeks away from TFR. As has been said before, it is designed to give your body a kick start as well as bit of re-education for going back to 'normal' eating (but not the normal that made us overweight in the...

STS is annoying I know but in the grand scheme of things, it is nothing! Look how far you have come and I bet next week you have a brill loss. At least you have braved the scales, I will probably leave it till next week so that I don't feel too disappointed due to my off plan days last week...

Hi Evie, just catching up with diaries and wanted to say well done on your losses so far. I know you are currently incommunicado, but hope all is going well on your mainland trip. Looking forward to hearing all about it on your return.

Moosh, you are doing brilliantly. Great news too about the clothes, isn't it great when you need to put another hole in your belt..:D

Tara, I havent been on for a while and just catching up with your diary. Firstly, belated birthday wishes. Secondly, congratulations in securing your new job. Thirdly, the photos of your wedding venues, bridesmaid's dress, etc look fab. I hope that even though you will be a slim bride, you will...

Wise words Tara. On reflection, I think we sort of give ourselves a bit of an unconcious pat on the back and knowing that we have come this far, a little treat wont hurt and we can make it up by getting back on track the following day and sticking to plan. However, we didn't put on weight in...

Hi Claire, just catching up on your diary and you really have been through the mill! Now you are putting yourself through more pain...hope you survived the tattoo:) Well done on losing the pound - it most cetainly is better than gaining!

Yep, I can totally relate to that! Taking my Mum out tomorrow and no doubt will be tempted to stray, but hopefully not:rolleyes:

Alison, they are probably chatting about you because they are so impressed. What amazes me is that you are still wearing baggy polo shirts and getting away with it after a loss of over 6 stones. I totally relate to the not wanting to invest in a new one till target though. I am picking up the...

Well done Kirst, getting out of obese is a fantastic achievement. Overweight as a category even sounds so much better:D

Good luck Flumpet, hope it goes well for you.

BG, just catching up with your diary and saw your badge....70LBS (now even more). What can I say (apart from being a little jealous!)...absolutely brilliant! Honestly, you must look so different now compared to what you did at the start of your weight loss journey. You really are an inspiration:D

Hi Elemental, just catching up with diaries. Hope you are hanging in there - had a bit of a carb laden week myself! So dusted myself down and now starting afresh. Like you, food and I have a fickle relationship! Here's to a better week next week...:)

Haven't had a chance to post for a while due to a very busy work schedule. So after being all fired up and motivated last week, I have had a pretty bad week as regards sticking to the diet. I wasn't all bad, but had a few days where I was out of my usual routine (working lunches)and rather than...

Hi Sue, 30 mins circuits, 15 mins V Plate and 15 minutes walking for me please. Many thanks.

Some great results so far folks..Katie and Black Widow, well done!! Sue, can you update me please? 1 hour badminton, 1 hour body combat, 1 hour 30 mins tennis and 30 mins circuits. 9 hours achieved, 11 to go.

Weasey, once again well done! I am going out tonight and you have inspired me. I will be the driver and stick to meat/fish plus salad plus mineral water. And I will enjoy it!

Tara, you look great and your dress in lovely. Have a fantastic weekend and enjoy yourself - you well and truly deserve it.

Elemental, 4lbs is a fantastic weight loss. If I could get that working out I would but would probably need to run a marathon! Don't know if you succumbed to the carb cravings, but if you did, hope you are back on the protein today. And as has probably been said before, do not always rely on...

Moosh, please don't leave the forum...we need you! Sorry about your difficult days, but please come back on here - even if you are currently having some blow out days, you have done so well up till now and can get back on track.

Welcome back Alison, you will see you are not the only one who has been having some off days. You are back though and that's the main thing. I am struggling to keep up with so many diaries too, but reading the great weight losses really motivates me to keep going. We WILL get there!

What a shame Claire, we have all been there and it is not pleasant. There are pretty potent laxatives out there (Dulcolax x 2) at night and I would be very surprised if you were constipated the next morning. However, HEALTH WARNING - some people can have extreme stomach cramps and I felt I had...

45 minutes circuits and 15 minutes V Plate. One hour for me today Sue please:)

Phoenix, just got round to catching up with you diary and what a week you have had. That's fab that your son did so well in his army selection. I understand your mixed feelings though. My eldest son is in the army and I do worry about where he may get posted. He has not done a tour of...

Too true BG, but after being overweight for the biggest part of my life:sigh:, I wonder how long it will take for me to accept that I CAN have an off track day without feeling guilty. It's like when I still automatically look for the big sizes and then remind myself that I do not need to fight...

BG, just catching up with diaries, there are so many now that I think I will have a case of RSI if I reply to all...! Anyway, your posts about CC and the evil carbs really made me laugh. But how well are you doing......5 stones!!!:eek: How brilliant is that:D I understand exactly what you and...

I decided to weigh-in and measure myself today rather than tomorrow as I am up and out early tomorrow so may not get the chance. Despite my blow out, I have still thankfully managed to lose 2lbs this week. I think this is in the main, due to upping my exercise levels a bit. I hope to continue...

Well, have a bit of a confession to make. Had a somewhat stressful day a couple of days back and dont ask me why, but I just felt I needed a glass of wine. Now I know this is absolute madness and reading my previous posts, I honsestly dont know why I succumbed. But I did - and downed 3 glasses...

Hi All, In past couple of days have done 2 hours badminton and 30 mins circuits - 16 hours to go this month. Sue could you very kindly update, many thanks.

Well done, you look fantastic! Keep going and you should be very proud of yourself.

Sensational losses so far - well done.

Hi and welcome back. That's brilliant that you have been 100% for all this time. Well done and those are some seriously good losses. Keep posting!

Phoenix, that's brilliant that the 16s are now too big. You are doing so well. Gosh, what a worrying time for you with the possibility of your son having cf, I am glad that he is now a healthy little boy. I think I may join you in your shakes only quest. I really do need a kick up the **** as I...

Tara, the dress is absolutely gorgeous and will be even more so with you wearing it. You are doing so well and the 200s are almost gone. It is interesting what we dislike the most about our bodies. I am an apple shape with slim legs and hips, but a saggy stomach and big bust. The top half of me...

Moosh, just wanted to say well done and I reckon you will be in that size 12 dress before you know it. I have done something similar. I am now in size 12 jeans (feels amazing) but still size 16 top in most brands. My goal was always that I would fit into a size 14 top but now that I am fairly...

Haha, yes I know that craving well. Apparently it will only last for a maximum of 10 minutes but oh so much damage can be done in a short space of time...:rolleyes: So it's good that hubby was being strong:D Sounds like you are back on the horse and I have to say, you are to be commended for...

I think I will be low carbing too. I may even do a couple of S & S days per week so that I can be relaxed at the weekend. Although I have not been sticking to plan 100% of late, I get a little nervous about coming off it all together. I do not want to go back to where I was so maintenance will...

That really is a great loss this week and overall too. Well done!

Hi Nicola, glad you are feeling better. Welcome back and good luck with getting back on track.:D

BG, excellent to see things on the downward slope. You really are doing so well and I suppose the slower losses are just part and parcel of having lost nearly 5 stones forever. That really is amazing!

I agree with BG. I started my diet this time last year with my then target a 5 stone weight loss. Within 6 months, I had lost 4 stones and that was with two All Inclusive no holds barred holidays thrown in! The weight will go quickly and that will keep you motivated. Do not think about the...

Weekly weigh in this morning and have stayed the same. Actually, depending where I place the scales on the bathroom floor, I could be 1.5lbs heavier. But did what I always do and found the lowest reading, lol. At least I am consistent in my trying to manipulate the statistics! Obviously...

Welcome and good luck on your journey. As has been said before, you should manage your weight loss well ahead of target if you stick to the packs.

Claire, you can see a big difference and you are doing really well. 2 stones gone forever:D

Tara, you are doing so well and chasing after your little niece will certainly have helped you in getting into the 100s. Keep going, I cannot wait to hear that you weigh one hundred and ninety something - it is just a whisper away......:happy036:

Tara, slipped up a bit - returning from shopping, I grazed on some olives and smoked salmon. Just a couple of mouthfuls so hopefully wont have done too much damage. Honestly, sometimes I am not safe to let loose in the kitchen!

Elemental, sorry you are not feeling so great today. I know you feel you have messed up by having a takeaway, but you are still on here posting so you have not given up and you ARE getting back on the horse! It is likely that many of us have felt like you do (I know I can certainly identify...

Well done, 24lbs is a fantastic weight loss. Keep it up!

Well done Nic, you are doing really well. Good luck for first official weigh in.

Well done on your weight loss, it really is fantastic. Accept the compliment from the two strangers with pride. It's so much better than being asked 'when is the baby due?' as I have in the past. I was not pregnant at the time!

Hi Sue, can you please add me in too? My target is 20 hours and so far have done 1 hour 30 minutes (circuits, treadmill and V Plate). Many thanks Fran

Had a lovely time last night but strayed a bit more from plan than I should have:cry: Food wise, had a starter which included pastry (tut-tut). Main dish was a stir fry chicken and vegetables with no rice or noodles. BUT then I had to just order the Baileys creme brulee, didn't I..!! Alcohol...

Hi Alison, Yes I am fine thanks although it may all go pear shaped in a few hours time when I attack my dinner! Sorry to hear about your niece, hope the surgery has gone ok and you get some good news there. Its been a really busy time for me over the past few days (mainly due to work...

BG, you and me both. I had an excuse I think as I had a few social events. Nevertheless, for a good part of the month I did do 100%. Do you think it's just an adjustment our bodies are making to the lower cals/carbs? Last year when I came off plan for holidays (several times), I gained some...

Well done for getting back on track. It would be easy to throw in the towel, but the fact you are on here posting shows that you are still determined. Good luck in the days ahead.

Haven't been on here much in the past couple of days. Been sticking to diet reasonably well because have not had much spare time! Dinner out tomorrow evening so could set me back horrendously if I am not careful. So plan is to have fish and salad and if I do partake of any alcohol, it will be...

Haha ClaireCat, I love your letter to Ketosis - think I should write one too!

I am sure that will indeed be water. Hopefully a couple of days back on plan will put paid to anything gained at the weekend.

Welcome to S & S. I think with the selection of meal packs and vegetables, it is easier to do than the soup, shakes and bars diets. That's just me personally of course and everyone will have their own way to lose weight successfully. Good luck on your weight loss journey.

Sweatpea, welcome to S & S. I think you will find the losses themselves are enough to keep you going longer than 4 weeks. I have tried every diet in the book and find that this type of vlcd works best for me. Most people on here achieve really good results if they stick to plan. Good luck in...

Welcome to S&S and good luck with your journey. I agree thats it is a good idea to measure yourself once a week, it is really motivational to see the cms/inches come down.

Thanks Alison and BG. I have to say, overall I am really chuffed with my achievements and have to pinch myself sometimes to make sure I really have come this far. Yesterday for example, my 16 year old daughter, who is relatively slim, comandeered my size 12 jeans for herself! They were not...

I am back too! But like the rest, feeling a bit more optimistic on future weight losses. Hopefully my day or so off plan will give a bit of a kick start. Seems like some of us could do with drinking a bit more water and I might try this myself. Good luck everyone in the week ahead...

Well this morning I weighed the same as last Sunday. At least I have got rid of the weight gained last week but I reckon it will be about another couple of days before ketosis kicks in again. My 10lb weight loss target for February is a definate no-no being as my weight loss this month so far...

Just been catching up with diaries and this one is a mine of information! Feeling a tad jealous of Kirst and Maka as the weather here is quite miserable and I am not jetting off anywhere in the near future! Well done Kirst on your losses so far and keep posting the foodie pics, my meals never...

Have a great holiday Laura, with all that exercise you will probably lose more that the rest of us! Enjoy.

Kelstar, you have kept the carbs low so I am sure you will not have done much damage. 800 calories is not exactly pushing the boat out! Well done on finding those distractions - I'll bet it felt good to catch up with something you have previously put off.

That is indeed a tough one Alison. I hate clutter but still find it difficult to get rid of the sentimental bits and bobs (even although I know it only sits up in what is an attic already groaning with the amount of stuff!). So a difficult emotional task, but probably all the physical effort...

Welcome to S&S Moomoo. Like the others, I too moved from another VLCD and am really enjoying the variety of meals. Loads of support on here and the diaries are growing by the day! Good luck in your weight loss journey.

Thanks Alison and of course you are right. I do need to be starting to think about where I go in the future. One thing is for sure, it is not EVER going to be back to obese where I was before. I have put too much effort into the losses so far but I really now want to get to target. Impatient or...

Laura, just catching up on your diary. Well done on your losses so far, you have achieved great results every week. Keep going and you will be wearing the itsy, bitsy, teeny bikini in no time!

Well done Moosh, good result and I'm sure the gym work will pay dividends too.

Well done, looks like you are getting into a routine now. Eating you alloted veg is a good idea and I like how it bulks out the meal packs so that my plate looks as if it contains a fairly substantial meal. Its probably also good for educating us on portion sizes too for when we are nearer to...

Welcome to S & S and look forward to hearing how you get on.

BG, I too laughed at how you 'blew it'! If 900 cals was your idea of a bender, you will be forever slim girl..!! Seriously though, I hope the weekend goes well for you, your sensible choices are very good and keeping everything fairly low GI is definately the way forward. Really hope it gives...

Keep going WWH. We all have bad days/weeks. Come on here and tell us rather than heading to the kitchen. It will be worth it in the long run and we will support you along the way.

Welcome and good luck on S & S. I have a meal every day bulked out with my veg allowance. It does help to make you feel less deprived.

Well done Kelstar, you are doing really well despite feeling poorly. Good luck for next weigh in

Welcome and good luck Heffalumpy - most folk on here are finding S&S pretty easy to stick to (as well as you can stick to meal packs and bars!). The results for most folk are very good though so hopefully yours will be too.

Well done Hooked - 16 lbs is a tremendous weight loss. Posting on here certainly helps to keep me away from the snacking. Good luck in your weight loss journey.

Well I attended a celebratory lunch yesterday and all I can say is that I did not stick to plan. I mistakenly decided to partake of wine which of course required carbs to make sure I didn't damage my liver. The end result this morning is that I put on two pounds which takes me back to last...

Great loss Alison, much better than me! I expect a few calories will be burned during the bedroom clear out this weekend - even more when the bathroom installation goes ahead! Have a good weekend.

Yes, the bar probably would arouse suspicion especially in the absence of a Cadbury wrapper! However you will get the last laugh as the weight falls off. Then you get the 'I think you have lost enough - you dont want to lose too much do you? You dont want to be too thin' brigade. Honestly, yes...

Tara, sorry things have not been great but hopefully a good weight loss will cheer you up. I agree with BG about all the diaries now.. wish I could type faster!

Haha Elemental, closet dieters, I like it!! I usually have the mushroom soup and I find that if I add just enough boiling water to make a paste, stir till mixed and then add the rest of the water, it mixes quite well. I day say it will not be quite as good a result as using an electric blender...

BG, I agree with the others, if the weight loss doesn't pick up, you might want to consider an add a meal week. Still low carbing of course, but having a bit more than you are currently eating. It is frustrating for you I know and if like me, you feel as if you are sacrificing quite a lot in...

Claire, sorry to hear you are feeling bad, really hope the headache goes and you feel better emotionally too.

Brilliant result L2L and congratulations on the exam results. Great too that the smaller size clothes now fit you, isn't it just a fab feeling? Tried the chilli myself recently. Made the pack up, let it cool slightly and used celery sticks to scoop it up sort of like a dip. It was very tasty.

Elemental, well done on your positivity. As regards telling folk about the diet, I told no one apart from my OH and kids. Would have been difficult to hide it from them as I blitzed the shakes with the blender! However, at work, I make up a soup pack as if it is a Cup-a-soup and nobody...

Cable, all I can say is stick to it WILL be you in a fairly short space of time. Good luck.

Keep going Betty, you will not regret it. Once the first few days are by, you will get into a routine and things will get easier. Don't worry about going out to the pub. A sparkling mineral water with ice (no lemon of course!) will make you feel so virtuous!

Those are great losses and next week will probably a good one for you too. Well done. Keeping up with the diaries here is a great way of keeping the fridge door out of reach!

Phoenix, I know exactly what you mean. Sometimes the others put me to shame too. This diet in not easy and I regularly find myself 'grazing' in the kitchen which then takes me out of ketosis. I am frantically typing away here so that I do not go near my son's birthday cake! It may be something...

Emmzi, well done on sticking to it so well. My hubby's blood pressure was higher than it should have been and as the weight is dropping off (unlike me, his IS dropping off - lucky so and so!), his blood pressure is definately coming down. Hope yours settles down too but if not, you are right to...

I can totally identify with that. I suppose we will gradually adjust and realise that we are slimmer than we are used to. I find too that when I am lying down, my stomach is concave with ribs poking through. Now that is a new experience;)

Son's 21st birthday today so on my way to pick up a cake! I must resist temptation. Still striving to get into normal weight range. Had a sneaky peak on the scales this morning and looks like I am only 8lbs away. Having started off last year at a weight of 15 stones, it actually still feels...

So sorry that things are a bit rough for you just now Tara. Really hope things take a turn for the better soon.

Katie, I do still reach for bigger sizes too. I am so used to fighting my way to the back of the rack for the bigger sizes, that it feels strange to think that I can now head for the smaller sizes near the front!

Well, another 100% day under my belt. I am trying to really stick to this so that this year I will hit my target, perferably in the first half of the year. Son's 21st birthday on Thursday and attending a retirement lunch on Friday so a difficult couple of diet days this week. I would love to...

Good luck for tomorrow. Hope everything arrives ok

Good luck L2L, your determination is brilliant. The weight will go, just keep going.

Yes, I was uncomfortable crossing my legs before but it's fine now. On plane seats I can now cross my legs and the table comfortably folds down with room to spare (before it sort of wedged between my folds of flab around my abdomen). Funny how it's these little things that make us feel normal:)

Sorry to hear you have had a bad day. Well done though on avoiding the breadbin! I know I found it difficult at first to keep away from comfort eating, I think we are programmed to take solace in food when feeling down. Be proud that you resisted the bread and think about the good weight loss...

Yes Katie, I think I can say it has really changed my life. Strangely though, I still think of myself as fat. Not untrue of course, as I am still in the overweight bracket but I think it's going to take my brain a little while longer to catch up with the slimmer me!

Katie, just been catching up with your diary. Wow, you really have done well - congratulations! I absolutely loved going down the sizes (started at size 20/22) and now down to size 14/16. To get rid of the big sizes feels so good (and they are NOT ever coming back again). I understand exercise...

So sorry to hear that you are having a hard time. Again though this is about you and I am sure we are all willing you to continue on your weight loss journey if it is at all possible.:grouphugg:

Good luck Betty, I hope you get some sort of delivery sorted out and can start soon. Let us know how you get on.

Mmm, I tried the strawberry wafers and they were delish! I like the lemon bars too and had both on the same day which I think is not allowed:( Good luck in the week ahead, stick with it and I'm sure you will be able to report a good loss next week:D

2lbs is gone forever L2L. Keep going and you will be in the 12s in no time.

Well done on surviving the birthday party and I am sure you would have been running around so the small piece of birthday cake will be well burned off. My hubby is supposedly on this diet too, but really, he does not have a clue. Every Friday without fail, he suggests we open a bottle of wine...

My OH was totally sceptical until I shifted 4 stones last year. Even then, he still would not try it and said he would calorie count himself. Honestly, he didn't have a clue! I think most of us on here who have been serial dieters in the past, could probably write the calorie counting bible...

Chin up BG, still going down and you have lost so much weight already that this may just be a blip as your body adjusts. Fingers crossed for a greater loss next week.

Tara, who would have thought that a fairly small portion of powdered spag bol would have become so appealing!!! I know in the past, I would have laughed if anyone had said I would enjoy these packs as much but I find myself enjoying bulking them out with the green veg. My size 10 daughter even...

Thanks MiniMoosh, down definately is better! How well you have done so far - you will fly past your target I reckon. Good luck to you too.

Haha, thanks ClaireCat - that is indeed a good one to remember. I am not disappointed and the right direction is good for me. Looking forward to my next pound off which will take me to 10 stone 9 lbs. Not sure why, but psychologically for me, its nice to get out of double figures in each stone...

Tara, well done on your weight loss so far, its brilliant! I bet you notice your arms more than anyone else does, but as BG says, we all have bits of our body that we dont particularly like. Keep going girl - you are going to be one stunning bride!

Well it's small, but it's there - one pound off! Really pleased with that and feel I am on the right path at last. Because I have not been able to exercise as much, I have slobbed about more than normal although have done some sessions at the gym. So all I need to do is keep it up - now isn't...

Thanks Alison, kind of dreading it in case it's not good news but at least I am back on track and can move forward now. Good luck with the marble count!

Welcome Cable and I think you will find find S & S excellent. I lost 4 stones last year on another VLCD and have recently moved to this one. So far finding the meal packs very nice even if my resistance to other foods is low! Good luck

Unlike most of the others on here, I am not weighing in daily. I am afraid the results may get me down due to being off plan in the first couple of weeks in February. Yesterday I knew was going to be a challenge. I was off work, and doing some stuff about the house. Fridge safely avoided...

Good to see you are going in the right direction again BG. You really are approaching the finish line and we are all cheering you on!

Emmzi, 7lbs is a great loss - well done! As has been said, we are all different so you may find another good loss in your second week. What a good idea too about the curry. Veg wise, cauliflower and broccoli may be your best bet. Enjoy your weekend.

Well done ClaireCat on the 3lbs gone. The rest will be away in no time.

Well a couple of things today. Firstly, yesterday was good and I stuck to it 100%:D Phew, that was a hurdle I needed to get over! I need to keep going now with my size 14 top in mind. I know it sounds mad, but I do actually feel thinner today. I know I won't be back to my January weight at...

Scotbean, just wanted to add my support to what has already been said. I have not been great for most of February, but this morning got back in ketosis. If I can do it, you certainly can. Do not get down about it, we are all the same on here. The fact that you are still posting is positive, you...

ClaireCat, as has been said before, we have all been there (I am speaking from experience as I have been a bit of a dieting disaster lately!). Its fantastic that you are back on course and we all know that if we stick to this diet 100%, it is highly likely that the weight will come off quickly...

Well, its not the greatest achievement ever, I know, but checked today and I am back in ketosis:clap: After losing a stone in January, I put a whack of it back on following a spa break and sporadically grazed on carb ridden foods in the kitchen, all of which has completely hindered my weight...

Alison, it is in the right direction and so much better than gaining a pound. I am waiting till Sunday to weigh in and hopefully it will show some sort of loss. Right now though, I would be content with no gain! Hopefully your losses will continue to be steady. Good luck in the week ahead.

Thanks Alison. You are right of course and I think maybe treating myself to a new size 14 top that would be suitable for wear in mid to late April may just be the ticket! I worked though so many social occassions and holidays last year without straying too far from plan. My son will be 21 next...

Well done on the water Tara. It is supposed to really help and I must say, I notice a huge improvement in my skin since I started drinking so much. Really hope the scales are kind to you soon - you deserve it!

Yes thanks Alison, today was a little easier. Slightly better day at work, then round to mum's where we had a visit from occupational therapist, then to gym for my usual treadmill and vibration plate. Had some spag bol and then a lemon bar to complete. Started grazing on piece of cheese and...

Hi Alison - very impressed with the marbles avatar and hopefully we get to see one jar emptying as the other one fills! Know what you mean about the folks, I am currently trying to get my mum to accept the help that is available. Although still reasonably independant (ie living in her own...

BG, well done. I can totally relate to what you are saying - it is fantastic to be out of obese. You will know yourself how 'low' you need to go. Now that I am within a stone of 'normal', I think I know that I need to go a bit lower than the high end of normal. It's such a huge variation though...

ClaireCat, do you have to go through paperwork from a butcher? Nothing from say a parfumerie that would inhibit temptation??

Good that you are still in ketosis Tara. Love the 'start' photo - very glam!!

Hi all and thanks for your very positive (and humorous) comments. Alison, it was you who alerted me to the power plate and I had been meaning to try it for some time. We have a poster on the gym wall with some of the more energetic exercises but the instructor has given me some basic ones to...

Agreed Phoenix, the weekends can be pretty hard. I think we are conditioned to feel that if we work hard all week, the weekend treats are food and drink. However I think that is the way everyone feels (not just us VLCDieters) and a lot of folk who are not overweight push the boat out a bit at...

Its steady, steady, steady BG and that is a good thing. You are doing so well and that target is so achievable. Keep up the good work.

Hi BG, well if you believe the hype, doing exercises on a vibration plate quickens the weight loss and toning process. After losing 4 stones, I feel a bit flabby and really need to not only tone, but get to target. One of our other forum members had bought one for home use and felt it was good...

Well weigh-in day today and I have gained two 2lbs over the past couple of weeks, bit disappointed but not unexpected!:break_diet: Had a heads up when I got weighed at gym yesterday. Anyway, need to focus for the week ahead. Although I cannot do my usual sports, I am going to try to keep using...

Enjoy your Saturday night and go for the burn on that dance floor!

5lbs loss - that is absolutely brilliant. Keep up the good work.

Scotbean, hope all is going ok during your busy schedule.

Phoenix, you are definately going in the right direction and I reckon you and BG will be flying by me in Feb! I agree too that the losses definately slow down as we near target and I think that's what makes it more difficult to keep motivated. It was a lot easier at the beginning when the...

Thanks BG, I have to say your diary and losses were one of my main reasons for starting one up myself. Your weight loss has been so steady and in such a short period of time. I love to hear other folks' success stories - it gives me the will to keep going!

Great result Moosh. Keep going, sounds like you are motivated and as has been said before, 2lbs gone forever!!!

Good Morning to you too - well done on your achievements so far. It will get easier:D and you and OH will get into a routine. I find that the good weight losses in the early stages are a great motivator. Good luck.

Although I have posted before, I haven't really started a diary, so here goes.... Lost over 4 stones on VLCD last year from March till October. I was delighted to go from a size 20/22 to a 14/16 and having been overweight for 25 years, it feels amazing to be able to try on clothes in smaller...

Alison, My weigh-in day is a Sunday (started on 1st Jan like half the population). I am actually up a little on last week as I had a lovely spa break away. The food and wine were gorgeous so my 10lbs target loss this month is now looking to be nearer 14! Anyway, good luck to us all over the...

Hello Alison - we meet again (at least I hope it's you or none of this will make sense!). I see you have moved over from AAW. I became a bit frustrated myself when I couldn't get bars, so I started to order them from S&S. That, and all the other order problems mean that I will probably buy my...

Couldn't have put it better myself Pheonix. We all need to take stock of why we put on weight in the first place.

The 12s are only a whisper away and you are right, the time flies by. I so agree with what you say about keeping going though. Because of my previous 4 stones weight loss, I hear comments like 'you don't need to lose any more now' and 'if you carry on with this, you will be too thin! Well, I...

We have all been there - you are right back on plan which is the main thing. That 2lbs and more will be gone in no time.

Yippee, every day is now a 'new' weight loss. Very well done!

I weigh in daily but only track weekly. There's not really any hard or fast rule, so do what works for you and keeps you focused. I always think that the waistband on our clothes is a pretty good guide on whether we are losing or gaining weight. Mine certainly felt a lot tighter after Christmas!

Welcome and good luck Tara. I went down three dress sizes in 3 months on a VLCD. I think your target is totally achievable if you stick to the mealpacks. As Bea says, you may find that you lose even more. Again, good luck!

5lbs is still a good loss (same as me). Fingers crossed for you to quickly get under the 200!

Welcome Charlene, quite new to S & S myself, but really impressed with packs/bars I have tried so far and the support on here is fab. Good luck

Wow, that is an absolutely brilliant weekly weight loss. Yes it's strange about your clothes feeling tighter, but you are right - who knows how our bodies store the fat!

Good result Phoenix! Isn't it great to get to a weight that you have not seen for some time....very well done.

Just received my first delivery of S & S mealpacks, etc. I couldn't reseist having one of the bars which was delicious. It was the lemon, yoghurt and white chocolate. I havent compared the nutrients, carb content. etc against the S&S bars but I assume as its also classed as a meal replacement...

Great news, well done:D

Spangles, isn't it nice though that they are now too big? Even if you did buy too many, better that you are in a size 14 and giving them away rather than them fitting you or even being too tight! Well done on coming so far:D

Ah Phoenix, the perils of daily weighing! You will lose that stubburn pound (and probably another one along with it!). Please don't beat yourself up. You know that if you stick to it 100%, the weight will come off.;)

That's interesting GSG, I have just ordered 7 days food from S & S including 7 bars. I hadn't really thought of mixing and matching but if bars are tasty, just as nutritious and less expensive elsewhere, I may opt for that. Thanks for the tip.
