Thanks for your kind words guys :) However I went to see my CDC consultant yesterday and she wont have my packs in till Tuesday so I have to wait now!!!! Im so annoyed as I was so hyped up :(

Hello guys, would you mind if i joined too? This is also my second time around after gaining all the weight I lost the first time!!!! Im going on holiday to Orlando in July and need to lose 2.5 stone before then so am really determined!!! Today is my first day :) You are all doing so well!

Hello, Im on day 1 and need to lose 2.5 stone in weight for my holiday in July!!! Hope I can do as well as the rest of you. So thats 36 pounds in 14 weeks, or 2.5 stone in just over 3 months!!!! Hope I can do it!

SophieLily, 6 pounds in 4 days is amazing!!!!!!!!!! Well done you!

Thanks guys, I really dont know how I would have coped without this forum and all you lovely ladies :) Had another splitting headache today, but have been taking nurofen to combat it before it turns into a migraine. Just had a strawberry tetra for lunch - way too sweet but drank it all!!! WE CAN...

Hi, I started this week and have similar stats to you. I think it works out to about 1 stone per month, I guess everyone is different though :) Just start it and see how it goes!!!

Thanks guys, I think I will have a coke zero when I'm feeling really bad to stop me from doing anything silly!!!!

Hi everyone :) I know the 'official' answer, but I was wondering if any of you guys drink diet coke and if it affects your weight loss? I was thinking of having one when I'm really struggling as a treat to stop me from actually eating......

Thanks honey!!!! Its really hard in the morning, because everyone at the office gets toast and croissants for breakfast and I'm sitting her drinking my crappy shake :( But thanks for the encouragement, your losses are an inspiration, if I can lose even half of your 1st week loss i'll be ecstatic!

Hi guys!!! Hope you're all doing well.....I'm really really struggling today - feeling so hungry and have a splitting headache :(

Well done you!!!! Hope my losses are as good as yours

You've still lost 9 pounds in 2 weeks!!!!! Thats more than most people lose in a month. Just keep at it and I'm sure you'll be over the moon next week :) Dont give up, Hon x

Well done, honey, thats brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! On to week 2 :)

Hi everyone, today is my first day :) Had 2 shakes so far, have a major headache but feeling really positive thanks to the great support on this site!!!

Wow, wow, you are an inspiration!!!! Well done, honey x

thanks guys, I really appreciate the support. Was wavering just now, but now having read your posts have just glugged more water down :)

Thanks! I really find it hard to drink the water :( Plus I've already started to get a headache, you dont realise how much rubbish you eat until you stop!! I would have eaten 2 toast, 2 coffees and a buttered scone by now!!!! i feel embarrassed saying it!

Hi everyone, well I finally managed to get my packs and today is day 1 :) I'm really excited and raring to go, have had my 1st choccie shake. I must do this, dont want to be overweight on holiday and miserable at disneyland :sigh:

Thanks guys :) There's going to be alot of walking so I really want to lose the bulk of my weight before then, as the average is 1 stone per month I figure that I can get atleast halfway to my goal. We went to chessington over the half term and my knees were killing me by the end of the day so...

Wow wow wow!!!! you look like a completely different person!!!! You look like you should be at school LOL :)

Hello honey, tomorrow is day 1 of restart for me, so we can help each other along :) I have to succeed this time....

Hi, im restarting tomorrow and would love to join as my holiday deadline is July 25th!!!

Hello all, i tried this diet last year but only lasted a few days!!!! I'm back properly now and hoping to get to my goal. However, Im going on holiday in exactly 7 weeks time to disneyland paris with the kids so need to lose quite a bit by then so I can walk around without struggling. I was...

Thanks everyone, that's brill :) none of my old (and VERY EXPENSIVE!!!) shoes fit me at the mo so I'm hoping once I've lost my weight I'll be able to get in to them again :)

I just had a question for all the ladies who have lost weight, did your feet shrink????? Sorry, for such a stupid question but before I put on all my weight I was a size 4 and now I'm a size 5-6. Weird as no one has ever mentioned it here.

i think I definitely need to up the water, I find it really difficult to drink water but today have been guzzling away :) We can compare our weigh in results!!!

Oh my, you're an inspiration to people like me. I feel really stupid for struggling and I'm only on day 2 :sigh: Hopefully one day next year I'll be able to write a post similar to yours

Hello honey, I'm on day 2 of my restart so you are not alone :)

I made it through the first day without cheating, but I'm SOOOO hungry!:( I'm going to sleep now otherwise I'll just end up raiding the fridge.

Hello everyone, I've also started today. I was supposed to start last week but my packs were out of date!!:eek: This is my final attempt at this diet so hopefully with everyones support i can get though it and make it to goal this time.

Hello honey, I remember you from last time. I also keep thinking that if I had stuck to my original plan i would be at goal now!!! I feel really crap about myself too, but am still trying, and I know that one day I'm going to make it. So, dont feel bad, you're not the only one :cry:

Hello honey, Good Luck!! I'm also re-re-re-re-restarting today :) Lets make sure we do it this time!

Hello honey, dont worry you're not the only one!!! I havent posted for a while because I did the same thing and felt really embarassed :wave_cry: Anyway, I'm back on it like you, and we've still got another 20 days to target, so lets put a line under our naughtiness and move on!!! :)

Well done you guys, thats absolutely brilliant going!!!!:clap:

Well done you!! Just imagine how much you will have lost by the weekend!!!!

You've done so well dont spoil it now!!!! YOU CAN DO THIS GIRL!!!!! Just imagine how great you'll feel once you're at goal, and you're so close now.

Hi Chris, I had my 1st weigh in too today and lost 6 pounds...i was disappointed like you but then remembered it would have taken me 3 weeks to lose this on weight watchers!! Chin up, we can do this!!!!!!!!:party0011:

Hello honey, congratulations thats a brillliant loss!!:clap: I'm definitely going to ask for the bars when I next see my CD!

Thanks everyone for your lovely words :) I've already drank 1 litre today and will have another before I go to bed (i dont like water so have been thinking of it as medicine!!). I'm determined to carry on with this!

Hello honey, I'm so sorry to hear about that and i really hope it all works out for you......I had my first weigh in this morning and lost 6 pounds, not as much as I was hoping for but still good enough I guess.

Hi Tahira, I have lost 6 pounds so another 8 pounds to go to reach my target!!! Hopefully I can do better :)

Hi, I've been drinking about 1 litre a day, even that is a strain for me!! Does anybody know how much ideally i should be drinking?

Hi all, I've just had my first week weigh in and have lost 6 pounds.....I know i should be happy, but i was really hoping for 7 at least and now i feel like a failure and really down :cry: I've been really good all week, but havent drank as much water as I should have. Any advice on how I can...

Hi, Just wanted to say Good Luck!! I'm on day 6 and getting weighed tomorrow so I'm really really hoping ive lost something :sigh:

Hi Kazski, I just saw that you have lost over a stone in 1 week!!!!!!!!! That is absolutely amazing!!!! I'll be lucky if I lose half of that!

We can do this!!! I'm fed up of being a 'cuddly' mummy, I want to be a yummy mummy!

Hi, I'm on SS plus and my first weigh in is tomorrow!!!! So we can compare losses :)

Sorry, forgot to ask, is this till the beginning of ramadan (4 weeks time) or the end (8 weeks time)?

Hi there, can I also please join?:) I would like to lose 14 pounds which I hope is achievable??

hi Nabeela, I know exactly what you're going through, and I'm sure most other people on this diet do too!!! Its so hard to get in the "zone". It took me 6 months of stops and starts to actually get past day 1!!!!!!!!! So you're definitely not alone. The thing which helped me (I'm now on...

Hi, Just wanted to say good luck for day 2!!! I'm on day 4 and i've had a splitting headache each day so far!! Hoping it gets easier....

Mine's at 8am , before work!! Hope we both do really well :)

Well done...your losses are fantastic!

Thanks, of course you're right, I dont know whats wrong with me!! I can do this.

Hi, i've managed to make it to day 3 but am really struggling today. My colleague is having toast and butter and I really want some. I really dont want to give in!!:mad:

Wow!!!! Well done you, you are an inspiration!! So sorry to hear about your father, but he would certainly have been proud of you :)

Hi, My weigh in is also on Tuesday!!! I'm finding it very tough though, was so close to eating something yesterday. Went to bed at 9 to make sure I didnt cheat!!!

Hi, I'm on day 2 and am finding today really hard. I'm not hungry, just missing 'food' if that makes sense. I find the shakes boring:sigh: But i've tried this diet so many times and never make it past the first day, so I'm really happy!

Hello, can I please join Fat Friends? I have restarted today after many many attempts!! Hoping this is it for me.......:cry:

Hi, Can I also please join in? I started today for the millionth time, but this time I'm hoping this is it :)

I hope so!!! Feeling very positive so far (but then I've only been awake for 2 hours:D)

Well today is my 1st day again (4th try), and this is the last time I am ever going to attempt this! I dont know whats wrong with me, but I do really well all day and then get home and give in to food :sigh: What is wrong with me???????? I really want to do this as I'm so unhappy with myself:(

Hi Tracy, We both have roughly the same amount to lose! I'm hoping by summer fingers crossed

I know most of you have been on this diet for absolutely ages, but for me getting through the 1st day without cheating is a major achievement as I've never managed it before. I always cheat and then give up by day 3!! This time I really feel like I'm in the zone:clap:

pencil

this is day 1 (AGAIN!!!!) for me too. For some reason I woke up today and KNEW this is it, and so far i'm doing well (I usually give in by lunchtime):D

Thanks for that :) The worst time for me is when I'm cooking dinner for the family, so hard to resist!!

Hi, its my birthday in March and my hubby is taking me somewhere nice. I want to look nice for him, he's so sick of me living in black baggy clothes!

Hi, Can I please join also? I have started the diet today (12th Jan) and hope to lose a fair amount by my birthday in March!! For the first time in years I want to wear something nice when my husband takes me out instead of black trousers and a black top!!

Hi, This is my 2nd attempt on this diet after failing after just 2 days last time around!!! I really want to lose weight and start liking myself again:cry:. Do any of you have any ideas on how to get through the 1st couple of days?????

Oh my gosh, gem, I absolutely LOVE those shoes!!! Could you send me the website address? I used to wear high heels 24/7 until I had my kids and then never wore them again, i find it hard with my weight. Have vowed to buy myself a pair of louboutins when I get to goal :)

Thanks everyone so much for the encouragement, I'm back again !!! 2 stone in 6 weeks here I come :p

Oh my gosh, you look absolutely fantastic!!! A true inspiration to us newbies! I cant believe that you want to lose any more though bcos you look perfect to me!

Today I just feel like I cant face another shake.....my main problem is not so much the hunger but more the fact that I find the shakes so boring. I had to force myself to drink my lunchtime one today. Any ideas??? I really dont want to come off it :(

Just to reiterate, I would have given in ten times over if it wasnt for this forum. Anytime I feel miserable or like eating, I just log on here. It really works :)

Usher:)

Wow, you look amazing, you can really see the difference!!

I dont blame him really, I look like a completely different person to the one he married 5 years ago. Before I used to really look after myself, wear lovely clothes, makeup, etc. Since I put on weight after the kids I've become invisible. I hate going out bcos I dont want people to see...

Well done, honey!!! Whenever you feel down or tempted by food, just come here, I do, and everyone is fandabbydosy :)

Hope you get better soon....remember your health is more important than anything. You can always come back to the diet.

Thanks, Guru, you're a star! I've just visualised myself in a monsoon top that I love and have promised myself I will buy as a present once I lose a stone:)

My husband telling me he doesnt find me attractive anymore:cry:

I know, last night I was tempted to just slice off a block of edam and munch it. It took major willpower not to give in!!! :)

Well done Sarah, Gem, Ally and Jiggly!!!! You girls are amazing and such an inspiration to me, especially today. I was so tempted to eat at lunchtime but I thought Id come on here first and it has totally put me back on track!!! Thank you!

I was just wondering if I'm the only one going through this....before I started this diet I was a chocoholic and loved all sweet food. However, the only thing I crave now is savoury food, ie cheese, crisps, bread, etc. I dont miss chocolate at all!!!:confused: Is this normal?

Hi, Can I please also be added? I feel like a bit of a failure, started this diet in May, did it for a week before going down a slippery slope of eating :sigh: Luckily, I havent put any of the 8 pounds that I lost back on, but am determined to start again tomorrow. This is just the challenge...

Hi, I was very naughty yesterday and had one of my daughter's boiled eggs. I didnt eat anything else, will this have sent me out of ketosis????? Feel terrible:(

I've lost 8 pounds!!!! I know its not as much as most people lose, but I had chicken on saturday and sunday as I wasnt very well so I'm really pleased. I was feeling a bit fed up and close to giving up on Monday, so I feel really motivated to carry on now! Thanks to everyone on this board...

Thanks everyone, my mind is at rest, I guess it is just ignorance.....

Hi, I was wondering if somebody could help...I'm on my 1st week of SS. I saw somebody yesterday who said that the cambridge is very dangerous as the weight you lose is all muscle and not fat. This can lead to heart muscle being lost which in turn can lead to a heart attack. Could you please...

Thanks to everyone for the kind words and encouragement!!! I've just taken some headache tablets, and am really determined to stick this out. Thanks again!:)

Hi, Its my first day today and am on my 2nd shake. But I'm sooooo hungry and have a terrible headache. I'm writing this with the hope that someone will give me encouragement because I cant go through this for weeks on end!!!! Does it get easier, or am I doing something wrong? :cry:

I've lost another 5 pounds which makes my loss 1 whole stone in 2 weeks!!!!!!!!! I'm so happy. I've been attempting to start this diet properly since december, and usually only last 1 day, so i'm really proud of myself. THanks to everyone on this board who are an inspiration :)

I've lost 9 pounds!!!! Just wanted to say thankyou to everyone on this forum for helping me to stick to the diet and not give in! Its been hard, but the scales have given me the motivation to carry on. This is my 10th attempt at this diet, and I usually never get past the 1st day, so a big...

I just want to say a big thank you to everyone for persuading me not to give in (yet!!!). I know I can do this and be my old (thin) self again :) THANKS EVERYONE FOR YOUR KIND AND MOTIVATING WORDS!!!

Hi, I'm on my first day of SS and am feeling absolutely famished already!!! I know its really sad and pathetic but I really need some encouragement to carry on!!! Pls anybody??:confused:

Hi there, I'm starting the diet tomorrow and would appreciate some words of support as I'm very nervous...... I used to be a size 8 but since having my children have ballooned to a size 18!!!!! I hate the way I look and just want to feel good about myself again :(
