Ive always hovered around 12-13 stone except when preg which isnt too bad for my height 5ft7, but I got gestational diabetes when pregnant and now I have 2 kids I wanna feel attractive again. And reduce risk of diabetes in future

Can I join u, im 14st 8 and need a bit of encouragement feels like im miles from my target lol. Hoping it comes off fairly quick :-) xx

With regard to supply decreasing I think with all the free foods and stuff you'll be fine as long as you eat when hungry. The healthy extras are mostly for calcium I believe xx

My little girl is 14 weeks im on week 4 so far lost 10.5 lb. I started at 15st 4.5lbs and am now 14.8. I eat all my extras most days and all 15 syns. Im quite tall so aiming for 11st I think but will see when I get closer ;-) xx Sent from my GT-I9300 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Loving this thread I'm going to Keep eye out for some of these when do weekly shop thanks x

Up your exercise and mix up diet - maybe do some red and green days if you normally do extra easy. Mixing up normally helps weight loss when you plateau. A healthy weight loss is 1-2 pounds a week, 7 pounds is still a good loss. Everyone says just before the wedding it drops off anyway with...

Awww babe what's the binge linked to? I'm not being good but too late for me. Jump on the cross trainer and sweat it out? Stress of everything has started to affect our relationship a bit :-( xxx

Jacket and beans is pretty much Wednesday dinner normally go shopping but only just got in. Exhausted bur definitely more upbeat today. Lol u will get used to them babe honestly weights are great xxx

Must have been the 3 minutes on cross trainer ;-) seriously though, I have days like that too. Yesterday started not being able to eat and ended hungry! Work slightly better today maybe it's my attitude once I've made it to the mid point of the week? X

Build it up, 5 minutes tomorrow? 7 minutes day after? You can do it. I'm not great with gym equip better in classes like zumba and aerobics where you are distracted by music and trying to co ordinate lol xxxx

Distraction technique I like it. Yeah we are fine I'm just a massively moody cow this week but he's been a pain full moon explains it lol x

Same love yes lol. No it was really busy felt really conscious taking pics but looked amazing. Only alteration needed was boob implants as boobies shrunk soooo much! But it was just generally more comfy and no tyre levers needed unlike first fitting. They are altering the long train which will...

Dress fitting not allowed to lose anymore weight otherwise look ridiculous in dress :-( lol could put few pounds on though that's what lady said?! It's all wrong way round for me always been told lose a few. Never mind it looks stunning anyway. Webs yours? Xxxx

I reckon that hungry feeling won't last forever too mine was about a week or so then gets easier. Are u having the snacks? If your so hungry it hurts you should eat something - fruit, small bowl cereal, yoghurt, or glass of milk. I'd say don't stay on 1200 per week too long either according to...

Rosemary conley does a spinach and cheese (quark with ricotta) canneloni digh which is nice with salad and low cal. If u want I'll dig out the recipe :-)

I have lost 2 of the 5 pound gain from last week but that still makes me 12.4 which is 2 pounds more than I was at for ages. Am well well stressed apart from getting married everything is doing my head in. Hope your weigh in goes ok later and enjoy the day with the kids xxxx

Awww nothing exciting babe it was run of the mill. Shape zero bogof in tesco so got them. We having fajita as treat Friday can't wait. Then going for few drinks with work colleagues as old guy is leaving he's quite sweet. Money is massive bonus I love it. My Oh has never smoked either. U gotta...

Pink n whites? Diet coke. Carrot sticks? Frozen yoghurt? Lol Used patches but had just got to point where I was ready and that was it really. My partner don't smoke that deffo helps! God I'm gonna stay same I reckon. I'm so shattered from work and only just got in from food shopping am...

No point stressing I reckon, and I'm still enjoying food and exercise so I'll see how I go. Nearly lost my extra pounds from last week mainly water I reckon lol. Been really good this week and replaced pitta with ryvita to dip into my houmous! Not as tasty but saves 100 cals ish so worth it...

Yeah my oh has told people if they don't send them back then they won't get free drink but still plenty who haven't replied! Nightmare. We haven't got suits either it's hard work all the little things too lol xx

Awww me too I love food. It's really hard losing weight and I'm kinda resolved to the fact that if I stay around 12st or just under then I'll live. However I'm sticking to RC as enjoying eating it just taking pressure off. Looks like today going well? I had the chicken noodle thing out book...

Awww what happens to make you go off track? Still struggling with cold it feels like I can't breathe its so hot and my nose is so stuffed. Didn't rain last night here so still really humid :-( And cos of cold don't feel up to the gym. I think it must be stress behind all this sickness. I did...

Wow check u out u really have lost tons from your face. Well done! My legs are burnt as didn't put lotion on as they never get colour! Bloody colour on them now, sadly it's red! It's boiling here too. I know right how lucky am I with my second illness in 4 weeks. I'm going to go to work still...

Wooohooo lol. I've got a stinking cold they always feel worse in the sunshine! Dreading work tomorrow. How's wedding plans going? X

Yeah definitely better to be healthy u r right! Wedding pretty much organised just gotta find good hairdresser for day and maybe someone to do make up. Its about 170 for both which seems so much when we have a tight budget! The rest is stuff that it's too early to do like seating plans etc...

Thanks i feel a bit panicky about it. I was making really good progress too but have well and truly plateau'd am hoping my week away will help me lose again as sometimes eating a bit more shocks the system!? I know I'm much happier getting married at 12st2ish than I would have been at 14st2 so...

Im getting married on 9th september and I have my dress fitting it 2 weeks. I've lost about 2 stone in total but just got back from a week away and put a few back on. Am getting dress worries now I was hoping to have lost more weight although I have lost more inches than weight. Am wondering if...

Awwww Hun me too. I'm travelling back Friday so halfway through. Xxx

Breakfast was bran flakes followed by a couple of little French pastries, since then had half cereal bar. Got sore throat that's so typical :-( and I'm really missing my bed and partner and healthy food. Too shattered for gym will try to go tomorrow. Walking tons though. What are u gonna eat...

It's not too late to lose a bit now if u wanted......xxxxx

I enjoy eating healthy food most of time too. I'm not gonna go mad but I'm going to be kinder to myself and not eat as strictly. Might jump start my loss. Let's hope so. So glad it's the weekend I'm shattered xx

Mmmm sounds delicious. Maybe that's the way forward for me next week x

How did your weigh in go? X

I've got free gym pass for Tuesday - Thursday and we will travel down Monday and home Friday so I'm planning on going and planning on walking to conference centre each day fingers crossed can keep away from junk food cos won't be able to cook. Thanks I'm not in a very happy place and still got a...

I'm away next week at conference in Manchester so it's gonna be hard to do anything RC! But when I'm back I'm gonna blitz it maybe on solo slim but I'm loving cooking it's the snacking when I mess up most......actually even when I snack I rarely go over. Not sure what's going wrong. Had to leave...

I lost the pound that I put on last week, so feeling bit naffed off. I know im losing inches and all that but really want to see scales move now it's been long enough. Yesterday wasn't great, meals were fine but had brownie then later a cherry bakewell. Been aiming at 1400 cals per day but it's...

Only 1 brownie lol x

Hey u how's it going? Think i messed up around 12 when I had a chocolate fudge brownie damn man at work bringing in treats like that lol. Feeling bit emotional today not because of the brownie lol. Cardio attack tomorrow though and I'll cut back. Weigh in tomorrow don't think I'm losing weight...

Haha that should say running not rubbing ooops x

Haha bless ya it does get easier but that pretty much describes me! I run on treadmill and what u do is best few mins run get out of breath, couple min walk then run again - it's interval training and best for fat burning. Any sports shop will do trainers for impact like aerobics and rubbing. I...

Haha I like sw size jackets too! I'm still buzzing it's lovely but during class I'm so sweaty and out of breath I think my legs will cave and keep checking it nearly over haha. Bloody job is doing my head in but all I can think about is weddings and babies lol x

I've been combat 392 Cals burnt apparently! I'm having individual quiche for lunch as a treat with salad it's 350 cals but dinner will be fairly light I imagine. I wish I could do a class every morning and start work late I feel fantastic. Oopps did eat 2 pink n white but it's all good still...

Haha I bought silk ones now they actually look nice, obviously they don't smell nice though lol. X

That sounds like an amazing deal my florist wanted 100 for mine 1 bridesmaid and 6 buttons xxx

Ps well done on flowers what u having? I got silk ones cos theme purple and don't get many purple flowers x

Oh I started ok but I've managed to clock up 1600 cals but did go for a walk. Grrrr I am going to a combat class in the morning though and hope that keeps me on track for the day. If I cut back tomorrow will it be ok? X hope your doing better than me lol x

Thats amazing to hear well done Hun. I'm getting there with my naked self but much happier with my clothed self which is a start. Bet you feel great! X

I've got 16 pounds to go til target, still not sure will be happy at 11st but we will see. Hope I can break into 11s this week!!! X

Just started to rain as we left but was ok. Had fish and chips for lunch and it wasn't even cooked that nice what a waste of calories!!! Never mind also had 3 squares of galaxy bubbles. Tomorrows another day I can still get a loss this week. Going to call doctor and ask for a blood test tomorrow...

Me too except I'm on my way to wildlife park with fiancé and his parents as it's his mums birthday. Just gotta try to pick something sensible for lunch. Hope it doesn't rain looks a bit grey lol xxxxx well done Hun your loss this week should be good!

Well done honey I probably should cook before I end up with takeaway! Lol x

If u mean takeaway I'm having the same feelings. More because I feel miserable though, got an abnormal smear back I'd kinda put it to back of my head but got reminder to go back today :-( just had argument with partner and it's all just a bit crap really. Hope your days better than mine Hun xxx

Awww don't punish yourself a little bit of naughty is good for u xxx

I've been cleaning too as didn't get called out for work this morning disappointed as need extra cash but never...

U can turn it round though chick! Oooh just been asda - mini milks 30cals each - are my eyes deceiving me? Lol. Were a bit skint so doing nothing amazingly fun this weekend :-( that and I don't want to drink or eat anything off plan so that cuts out few ideas too!! What u eating today? X

Oh no what happened. Actually I can talk I ate 6 bourbons oooops bloody training course xxx

I like lazing too but like the way exercise cheers me up and how it's making my body too! I'm not sure we haven't been shopping maybe jacket potato and salad....fiancé having omelette but I'm not keen on em! Xxx

I'm aiming for 2, aiming for 3 gym classes (only managed 2 this week) and I'm going to be nicer to myself. Im freezing today it's rubbish out. Just been working from home having courgette pasta 280 cals for lunch well probably bit less but I'll say 280. Nice warm lunch hope it helps! What u...

Ps lost 8 inches since last time which was April or march I can't really remember. I feel much better thanks. Have a great day babe xx

How did weigh in go? Xxx

Haha morning off tomorrow I'll measure then. I know your right about measuring. Massive clumps of hair are falling out I'm worried about that too. How did weigh in go???? Xxx

I went to body combat but this is how lucky I am, class was only 35 mins instead of 60 as lady had to reach another class 6 miles away lol so burnt half what wanted to. But I still have 245 cals left of 1440 allowance I've set this week which means I've eaten about 1200. I think I need to up...

Lol no sounds good except I don't do sugar puffs. I'm thinking of going to a group of some sort as maybe a public weigh in would help.....no RC near me though.....did sw before......never done ww.... Your right I might need to try something else. I'm feeling super stressed and ate a whole pack...

Damn I put a pound on, back to 12st3.......I know why I've put it on but I'm still pissed off! Really struggling to feel motivated now and I'm wishing the last stone would fall off without any major dramas but it isn't going anywhere! I haven't really budged for over a month now :-( and I only...

Awwww Hun i know my friend at work said she didn't invite someone's teenage children and they've put them on the RSVP and now she doesn't wanna be rude. It's really difficult isn't it! Fingers crossed there's no more hiccups xxxxxxx

Awww I'm jealous it's so close!!!!!!! You are very calm but that's cos it sounds like you've got it all sussed. Hope u have an amazing day and hope Kerry does too xxx

What about meals with extra lean beef mince?

Unrelated to lemon curd....sorry......When I went to my mums yesterday she made grated carrot and little chunks of pineapple with a squeeze of orange juice from fresh orange as a little side salad.....incase u fancy trying something different! Was quite nice with BBQ meat. She also does this...

I'm a social worker - but I work with young offenders. It's a very hard, stressful and pretty thankless. The stress is affecting everything now including my relationship so I'm sticking it out til something better comes along! But what.....we will see. Oh dear just be as good as can, damage...

Oh Hun surely it's not that bad. Anyways 1200 cals per day you'll be surprised it might help! Weather looks rubbish makes me feel miserable! Anyway i hate Monday's as it means back to work and I don't exactly love my job. Thinking about re training to be a web designer or something but I'm so...

I had two BBQs this weekend and it hasn't been good for the diet. New day tomorrow. Come on girl we can turn it round xxx

That you're doing too much / not eating enough. I'd say you'd need to be eating at least 1200 before exercise and would probably say u need to eat all your excess exercise calories so your net cals are 1200. I'm no expert but sounds like body would be in starvation mode hun. Perhaps reduce...

Wow well done it's great looking back isn't it? I'm cutting cals down to 1440 this week in an attempt to lose 2 pounds per week - July is first dress fitting for wedding aarrggghhh I was hoping to be 11st by now. I'm not good at pressure though so not point working myself up just gonna carry on...

Poxy gym shut cos of repairs to air con! Been for 2 walks and day in between I did abs and weights at home. I'm so hungry today must be stress lol. I was over the flipping moan when I hit 12s just been lingering here bit too long. Let me know how u go!!! Xxxx

Hey Hun Sounds like it might be totm. Just had mine but ave lost 1.5 pounds this week!!!! hope to break my 12st barrier this month! I'm stressing as have two deadlines to meet at work it's gonna be hard. Let me know how your weigh in goes xxx

We had jacket potato, beans and half southern fried chicken steak from tesco, about 480cals with a little side salad. Not the most exciting dinner lol x

I didn't put the cucumber in the water haha that sounds weird. I'm trying really hard. Oh and I like highlights hot choc for a sweet fix sometimes......mmmmmm x

Any fruit or veg - but they get dull. So I know we are both pink n White addicts (50 cal) they are marshmallow between two wafers. Sometimes it's thirst so I'd say drink first then eat if still hungry. Also good is alpen light bars (63 cals each) xxx

Yeah I feel great. Sodding gym shut this week for repairs so aiming to walk most nights. Had some cucumber and water just making jacket potato, beans and half a southern fried chicken thingy about 480 cals and a little bit naughty. I just wanna get under 12st then onto the next target dammit xxx

I am sooo hungry today!!! Awful feeling hungry. Tried to do well had bran flakes and then pitta salad and houmous for lunch....then ww yoghurt ...banana and apple.....2 finger kitkat and total so far 887, 500 ish left. Well 613 but I don't think 1500 is doing much as I'm not active enough...

I get miserable if I stick to 1200 too long! Lol. Just had sweet chilli chicken thighs, roast veg and home made wedges mmmm lush Sunday dinner. X

1200 is ok for few weeks then should up a bit I've been told or stick 1200 during week and up at weekends? If u eat too few it doesn't help metabolism and makes u feel like not getting enough, then start cravings etc. RC is good at recommending cals I think works for me anyways x

How are you Hun? Feel like I've neglected u sorry it's been a busy few days. Went out for dinner last night but had wrap with salad instead of usual chips and lunch today we ate at m&s kitchen and I had ciabatta but gave crisps to h2b so I think I'm making progress lol. Hoping for at least pound...

Depends what your allowance is, but if u eat too little it won't help weightloss! Good luck and welcome to our little RC gang xxxxx

Lol no you've been great. I'm in the zone and looked at new jobs. Going to walk at lunchtime tomorrow and may go boxercise depending on how my cold is! How much did u lose? Xxx

Chicken and veg kebabs and veg rice mmmm x

Haha you crack me up :-) I had a couple of chic biscuits at work lol. First day back was hard work! Let me know how u get on with weigh in Hun x

Awww bless did u stick to limit? Bit of both feel a lot better a to relieve boredom too?! I'm not good in morning. I'm changing to fresh skimmed milk this week and RC cheese, just because I like skimmed milk and so made a point of getting it. Just weighed in and scales say 12st4, trying not to...

Back to work tomorrow! :-( I am a little excited am quite bored at home now on my own while h2b is working! What was munched this evening? I had jacket potato and half breaded chicken steak, and baked beans with little salad. Then had alpro soya choc yoghurt and hot chocolate. Total Cals...

Yummy where did u get idea from? X

Well done babe xx

I had jacket potato beans and salad - not very exciting but a good staple x

Awwwwwww Liz sorry to hear that. Firstly though you have achieved a great weight loss not FAILED at all! After the wedding you can restart the diet and get to a size 12 or 10, and whatever size u r....u will be marrying a man u love and celebrating with your nearest and dearest. Although I...

Hi Kerry that should reassure you a bit then? It sounds gorgeous!!! I'm feeling bit miserable and lovely having spent virtually a week without leaving the flat. But am looking forward to getting out later for food shopping and back to work tomorrow and back to gym! Well might start with couple...

I worry about that too babe but I'm sure you'll be fine. I'm aiming to lose another stone too but it's so flipping hard and had flu this week so a loss would be a miracle! Ooooh exciting. Is your dress zip up or buttons or lace up? I'm so excited for u x

I hope you're going to eat a bit more than that today! I weighed I stayed the same am going to weigh Thursday's though. This weeks not going great with being stuck at home. Breakfast 1 1/2 bits toast with mashed banana 270 cals Lunch left over pasta bake with low fat cheese, 320 cals Dinner...

1450 cals - I had pitta bread with low fat cheese for lunch then snackajacks then courgette pasta for dinner, one pink n White and smoothie, think that's all oh and a yoghurt! Why the run round the park? I'm sensing the harvester didn't go to plan? Don't forget one meal out of 21 doesn't...

Courgette pasta made with passatta and courgette, red onion and Garlic with a little cheese sprinkled on top - 280 cals per serving. It's out rosemary Conley mag Mmmmm delicious couldve put couple ww sausages in really as so low cal x

Well done Kerry that's fantastic!!!!! Bet you're really pleased? Xxxx

Well done and well done on eating breakfast it does help!!! Oooh love harvester it's great that they put cals on menu helps to make good choices. I had a sneaky look too and I'm still 12st3 but then barely moving round at the moment and normally hit gym 3 times a week and my poor little head is...

Not long now for you girlies.........everything sorted? How's the diets going, guess you're on maintenance now as you've had final dress fittings? X

No walk, piri piri was nice but bit too spicy for me! I started planning feb too. I got most sorted....dress, BM dress, silk flowers and buttonholes (as theme purple so hard to get purple real flowers) venue and registry office booked and had registry office meeting too, mother in law to be...

Awwww thanks!!! Yeah just feel crap and I know it's hard not to eat. I had couscous with prawns for lunch 200 cals and I'm planning piri piri chicken salad for dinner. Unfortunately my hubby to be doesn't like stir fry but fortunately for me he does eat the same meals as me which helps! On top...

My days not started well I've got flu feel awful and stuck at home Breakfast - marmite wholemeal toast 360 (with can't believe not butter light) Smoothie made with pineapple and banana - 250 It's not going great....I've also eaten 2 pink n whites :-( U need to eat breakfast babe it helps...

Today is a new day I'm turning it round. So far had bran flakes and strawberry jam on toast. RC all day breakfast today for tea, or mixed grill whatever u like to call it. Thanks let's hit it hard this week and see what we can lose! X

Pizza and garlic bread, low fat cheesecake and some choccy biscuits. Last night picked at buffet god I've fallen off the wagon now?! Will have to reduce what I eat this week I need to start losing again it's getting desperate lol. Doing well!!!!! Feeling ok? X

Look like you got few cals spare incase u fancy a drink or nibble on something naughty! I was bit naughty yesterday but today's a new day. If u eat anything else record it cos u gotta own it that's what our sw lady used to say x

Well done new look aren't generous with their jeans! You're doing great x

I'm weighing tuesdays but think might swap to thurs no classes for RC near me so weigh at home. Nearest class 8 miles away bit too far I think x

I'm in Kent which is south but not close enough lol. Piri piri chicken recipe - recipe for 4 - cals 236 excluding accompaniments 1.5% 1 red onion 4 x 175g chicken breast 1tsp ground coriander 1tsp schwartz pilau rice seasoning (I couldn't find this so using piri piri instead) 1 tsp sesame...

Oh and just a thought could a DVD to do at home be better when most of family are out? X

Lol it's in one of her insert books she puts in mags sometimes. You want recipe? Good luck what day do u weigh in? X

I reckon that's definitely it. I hope it's ok tomorrow xxx

Sorry if that sounds naggy just trying to help x

Lol what say in September is it? Mines the 9th....I was like that with classes then I decided pick the ones I like and if they wanna come with me they will and if not I've booked classes at a good time for me (5 or 5.30ish) and something fun or that I know good for me( loving zumba....know body...

Was thinking if u stick to a little higher u might break the "cheat, exceed day allowance, feel bad" cycle that I get in, and maybe that happens for u too? Also would recommend some exercise which helps as u can eat a bit more (ur meant to eat at least some of your exercise cals apparently...

I looked at your diary think maybe u need to increase cals I weigh 12st2 and apparently I should aim for 1600 roughly. RC book suggests not to stay on 1200 or 1400 too long as not good for metabolism. So if u upped it u could have bit more rice / pasta? Maybe you're bit deprived? X

Can we revive the dinner thread for inspiration? Anyone tried RC mag recipes this month? X

Dinner tonight - tandoori chicken (chicken breast rubbed with tandoori powder mixed with yoghurt and squeeze of lemon with salad yummy Not great day with food today, my mid morning snack was sabotaged by redbull and creme egg dammit. Did cardio attack class but then made RC cheesecake and had...

I've lost 2stone so far, one to go.....well that'll take me to just over 11 then I'll see how I feel. Don't want to lose all my womanly curves.....well actually boobs I'm most concerned about lol. How's your week so far? X

I'm getting married September too, I was doing a diary but I'm so lazy about filling it in! Maybe we should start a RC what's for dinner thread so can all get some ideas. RC has got some good recipes, u ever bought the magazine? Don't want u getting bored x

Well done that's brilliant. I'm undecided on beauty stuff still got ages! Colleges are great I get hair done there sometimes x

I feel your pain I'm stuck in 12s and am so stressed at work I'm struggling with exercise because I'm so tired when I get in. I think I might be positioning wrong cos my back hurts today! X

I might permanently wear mine on a different finger as nothing fits with it and it's also too big now I've lost weight......x

Awww sorry to hear that Kerry! Sure you'll have a great time anyway. I'm going to change mine when I get back I think as OH booked flights and hotel in maiden name haha too late to worry about that now as can't change flights easily. Another wedding related question if u dont mind - are u...

Liz I got the Gunnar DVD but it seems to be working my arms more than abs it feels like....I'm so desperate to get into 11s too I'm stuck at 12st 3ish! How have u found it? I'm starting to feel slimmer in general except my bloody abs. I am bit better in mood thanks :-) someone else been signed...

Have u all got your dresses? X

Hi I'm getting married on 9th and yes I got a dress in the sale, am hoping I will need it taken in when I go back in July. X

I'm getting married in September too am hoping to lose at least another stone. I'm doing Gunnar core DVD. I quite liked Rosemary Conley whole body workout as a beginner....zumba also good but I do class so not sure about a good DVD x

B - fruit smoothie (12 strawberries, small banana and pineapple) 329 cals L - ham pitta bread (wholemeal of course) with salt n vinegar snack a jacks 389 D - homemade burgers (normally use extra lean beef mince 250 cals for 250g but accidentally bought lean so used 200g for 370 cals) with one...

Lol yeah I don't get it either. OMG I feel the same we could've had some more towards house deposit. Thanks I know he must be really thankful I can support him In some ways. Although male pride is a bit dented I think. He's an electrician but he's a bit under confident so he struggles to put...

Thanks Kerry it is the most stressful job and we were overworked before the cuts now it's bordering on ridiculous. And with further redundancies ahead people are all covering their own backs and delegating things down.....the worst thing is I feel trapped as oh has set up self employed and is...

Snacks yesterday were pineapple and a pink n white, then had dessert which was frozen yoghurt Total for day 1708 - 372 exercise (housework and DVD) = 1336 I use my fitnesspal to record my calories it's really easy to use

Yesterday B - special k with ss milk L - pitta houmous and carrot sticks D - tuna and spaghetti with home made White sauce - my other half made this est 590 as put cheese on top! Had salad with it. Snacks - Small apple and strawberries - 112 cals Ww choc mousse 106 Pink n White 50 and then...

I got mine off eBay £4! And they weren't even used. Also got my book and magic measure. :-)

Preparation is def the key and recording is good too. U gotta own what u eat, even if it is naughty. The reason I put on is because I don't record the naughty bits! Good luck!!!! Hunger goes after a few days I find and drinking lots of water and juice helps. U wee a lot but thats good sign i...

How are u finding the exercises? I have the book but progressed to some DVDs to mix it up a bit. RC DVD whole body workout quite good actually although now I'm living in 2nd floor flat I can't really do it without sounding like herd of elephants! Sticking to toning ones and leaving cardio for...

Hi girlies I think the same about weekends. Remedy to wanting takeaway is picking a recipe u like which is low fat / takeaway alternative and cooking that. When i follow RC I find that takeaway normally gives me stomach ache or heartburn etc.....so this way I'm eating something I love (like...

Well done on loss, I got two Gunnar DVDs - 25min and 45min. Only done it once so can't comment but core is best abs workout from past experience and my fiancé loves plank and his abs are great. Having bad week and ate a brownie, feeling really low hoping weekend will revive me. Don't let anyone...

Only 5kg??? That's brilliant and a substantial amount! Well done ladies all doing well x

I finished off yesterday with 100g of ben and jerry frozen yoghurt - 180 cals and half price in tesco at the moment! Was lovely Today B - special k with ss milk 280 L - 50g onion houmous, wholemeal pitta (145) and carrot and cucumber 300 cals D - gammon steak (340) with 225g mash potato and...

I'm excited too going to measure and do DVD tonight.....I need to shake it all up a bit. Has it made difference to your shape? I want flatter stomach more than anything and nice arms (just the tops) everything else I'm becoming happier with now. Well done on being so focused I'm sure you'll get...

I'm staying same but my Gunnar DVD came today!!!! I have been sticking to diet and feeling quite good but bad weekend meant no loss. I'm feeling ok. How u doing Liz? X

537 - half packet of tesco value rice, 150g mushroom, half red onion and 33g pepperoni - cook rice (I microwave it) while it is cooking chop pepperoni up into smaller pieces and dry fry in pan so little crispy, put in bowl while frying onion and mushrooms off in pan (can use any veg really like...

Had 3 alpen light bars lucky they're only 63 Cals each, bad really but its cos I got stuck at work late and was really hungry and left my pear at home which was my emergency snack. Rachel that couscous is so easy to make and yummy. Dinner tonight is veg rice (tesco) with added veg and some...

I agree it's difficult my oh was shocked when he heard my mum say she wanted to hang herself his mum never says things like that. My mums ok one minute and not the next it's difficult. It's your day gotta be about u Kerry, I didn't invite anyone who may rock the happy wedding boat either x

Awww I know the feeling about family letting me down but its normally my mum. Last week she wanted to tell me she was getting divorced from my dad and that she was so down she wanted to hang herself.....as if I don't have enough to worry about, she's miles away and has friends but has always...

Hi I'm going to start a food diary, maybe us RC ladies can compare notes and meal suggestions as it can get a bit dull if u stick to the same old stuff! So far today B - special k and ss milk L will be couscous (50g dry weight) with 1/2 tsp of veg stock powder (make with 125ml boiling water...

Sounds like you're doing well.....feeling positive? X

Hi camogirl, have you got the amazing inch loss plan book? Day 1 spaghetti Bol is filling and cheesy quorn bake. I absolutely love most of the recipes I've tried. I gave up smoking 18 months ago. I started around same starting weight as u, RC has helped me down to 172.....hovering a bit at the...

Hi Kerry did you tell her how you would feel? Hope you're ok weddings cause all sorts of strange feelings and issues in families hope it all works out x

I wore skinny jeans to work and 3 people commented on how slim I looked. Still got a stone and bit til my ideal weight, and healthy bmi, but really made me feel good. I've lost it relatively slowly so it's hard at times to stay motivated!

Awww my friend did mr and mrs quiz at hers was really cute x

Awwwwwww Kerry that's great!!!! I'm going to check the jewellery out but have also bought my tiara already. I'm not too worried about the pound it does come off when I eat properly.....already feeling better today. X

OMG I'm feeling the excitement - I agree Kerry they made me feel special and reassured too and the registry office is much nicer looking than I thought. Oh it makes me want to try my dress on now. Except I haven't quite made it to the gym this week and put on a pound over the weekend. I don't...

Well done Kerry u can do it. I'm sure we both can......it's easy to forget how far you've come too. My wedding is quite far away still so bridezilla is mostly hiding for now! I've got my registry office meeting tomorrow which will give me a bang back to wedding reality haha. Im going to get back...

Well done Liz!!!!!!! I'm definitely going to give it ago, maybe alongside my gym classes which are mainly cardio. Sorry to hear about yourOH grandad. I'm using my fitness pal which I think is similar? I just go through bouts of unmotivation think it's hormones a little bit! And I'm hovering...

Are either of those DVDs ok if u live in a second floor flat? I struggle as don't want to jump around and upset neighbours x

Awww well done you're doing well. I put on two pounds last week but lost one this week so only 1 pound more than I was.....I'm feeling good did legs bums tums yesterday. How are u finding shred? Is it mainly weights / cardio / both? My dress fitting will be July then mid august I think.....it...

Duh 11th June - just call me elz nice but dim! How's your weeks going? Any obstacles at the weekend? X

I need to find some exercise motivation but back on healthy eating today and feeling great! Awww Kerry when are u getting married? X

I have a real sweet tooth - I find for 90 cal fix I have a highlights hot choc (40 cals) and I dip into it a pink n White. It's marshmallow between two wafers and I get them in packs of six - 50 cals each. They're not to everyones taste but it feels a bit naughty as it's like dipping biscuits. I...

Homemade burger made with extra lean mince, chopped onion and herbs, with a burger bun and salad - got the idea from the march Rosemary Conley magazine. Was really nice actually, just ruined my day with a galaxy Easter egg. But tomorrow is a new day and all the chocolate is now gone so no more...

Well done, nope 2 stone down nearly and I've lost only half inch from arms and little from legs. Haha yeah was actually grateful I easily could've eaten it all but would've felt sick and fat! Keep up the good work x

Liz you should check your inches as may have lost inches. The lady who does our pump class says when I start weights / new routine u put on pounds or stay same due to body adjusting. You're doing really well u know the score might lose extra amount next week. Keep up the good work I'm going to...

I've eaten an easter egg dammit but I also enjoyed it. Rsvps are always slow. We went a bit invite happy and sent them out really early - well we got 4.5 months to go haha never mind. I'm so excited like a child! I'm so jealous mines not closer x

That's really motivated girlies well done. I enjoyed my few nights away and ate what I fancied but back on the wagon today lol. I actually missed how I normally eat which I think is a good sign. Got a girlie night in tomorrow night which I'm worried about cos they do pizza and stuff and it's...

Hi Kerry thanks yes I guess sometimes it does, still a bit disheartening though! I have been quite stressed, like long term stressed, and that causes constipation which I think also had some effect. Hoping some time off will help. I have pretty much ditched the gym this week I need to get...

I followed Rosemary Conley who does a kickstart month - two weeks of 1200 then two weeks of 1400 and then according to your weight / height a basal metabolic rate. For example I weigh just over 12st and mine is 1618 cals per day. I'm thinking 1000 sounds too low. Have u got iPhone or computer? A...

OMG my scales say I've put on 2 pounds but I haven't eaten anything to put 2 pounds on- apart from Monday I had a buffet lunch but still counted calories. I've been eating just under 1600 each day this week. When I had those 2 pound losses I was 1400 but Rosemary Conley suggests not staying on...

Well done with the exercise ladies I walked to work and back today total of 90 mims with bag full of papers. Going to do ab work later. Kerry don't get too hung up on dress size there's some weird stuff going on with sizes and I've lost 2 stone but only just squeezing into 14s and was only...

I feel your frustration I started in September last year. The slower the loss the healthier in theory but it's disheartening when you don't get good losses. I dont feel close to target and when I get to 11st I think I'll want to lose more! Guess there's always something to dislike lol. You're...

Awww that's a really lovely thing to do. Don't get too stressed you need to try to enjoy it!! X

I'm going to try more core exercises can't do cardio workout at home as in a flat but can do strength and core stuff and cardio at gym. This weight loss journey is really difficult at times xxx

Hi Kerry - chicken kebab without pitta not too bad on sw, as our sw lady used to say 1 meal out of 21 won't completely ruin your week it's here u go from here. If u eat sensibly now, or even some exercise, may correct your kebab and wedges (which sounds lovely mmmm). Yeah I know the rsvp cards...

Hi Kerry thanks for the support. Yes that was the problem we weren't a partnership because he was being very lazy but since we talked has turned it round! Haha I have the other problem "4 and a half months that's ages no need to rush yet" hasnt even decided about anything to do with the suits...

Thanks girlies that really helps I do crunches but call them sit ups! I've got a couple of pilates DVD I'm going to add to my routine. My partner always says it doesn't matter how much u tone u have to actually lose the fat so I've been mainly doing cardio. lots of work still to do x

What's the difference between crunches and sit ups? Or am I a bit dense? I do 3 classes at gym a week including pump. I think I might try doing extra core stuff at home as mainly cardio stuff at gym. I'll check out those links too thanks guys xxxx

I have lost 2 stone now through diet and exercise but cannot seem to get rid of my stomach fat. Obviously losing weight has reduced it somewhat and I'm not expecting to look like my zumba instructor overnight, but has anyone got any tips for a flatter / more toned stomach?

Thanks Liz I didn't have chips I had salad and chicken and a syrup sponge (lighter choices tesco) and custard. I know takeaway would've not made a difference long term except by making me feel guilty. It's not that I've ever massively binged more that I'll eat carby creamy meals or takeaway to...

Well done ladies you're doing great!!!! I'm going to be fine just so low in mood - this week we had an inspection and with 3 vacancies in our team it's exhausting working there. And then with my OH not working it's made me feel sad and resentful. I really want to eat and I know it's a comfort...

9th september. Hen sounds nice. my friends are organising a surprise for me so no idea what's happening?! Makes me a bit nervous. sounds like your really motivated too at the moment! Any jitters? I have had a rocky week with my OH but think we are ok - he's self employed and had no work this...

Lol it's harder the closer u get to target I got just over a stone til I'm 11st and think I'll be fairly happy with that. I lost less than that at one point and when I started weights I gained a pound one week - apparently that's quite normal. I wish I was so close. What u doing for your hen do...

How do I do the dukan thingy that u guys are talking about? X

I say give it a go too, sounds like fun. If you got no close classes and want variation I'd get some aerobics DVDs they are great fun, not having to go out is a bonus when motivation is low, and there's tons out there. I'd recommend Rosemary Conley whole body workout as a good one to start with...

Thanks I gotta do both that's my next target - diet and exercise. Booked boxercise Friday so I'm preparing for that. It feels like ive been dieting for ages, but it's because I plateau'd for so long (or maybe maintained as I was complacent) but this site has helped massively. How's your week...

God some people are horrid aren't they? It's lovely to hear that though isn't it? Well done. Someone said to me today that I was looking good x

That's what I'm looking forward to too! Just went back to they gym after nearly 2 weeks of not going.....was in changing room wanting to leave! Haha I did legs bums and tums and really glad I did. Lost another 2 pounds this week. Just over a stone to lose I'm really focused on the dress now! I...

Some sizes are bit strange. My friend at work is in 12 jeans and mine are 14 but we about same size. You're doing great 3st loss that's amazing x

I'm just over 12 stone and I've lost nearly 2 stone and generally it's coming off all over I'm a size 14 now. Don't get me wrong I'm not my ideal weight yet and my arms don't seem to want to give up their fat at all! And my stomach is quite stubborn too. Everyone is different perhaps its worth...

Yes I can't wait. The dress fitted perfectly when I tried it on so it's not a case of it doesn't fit but I'm worried I wouldn't have lost what I want to have lost. I'm having it altered anyway as train is far too long for my liking. I'm a bit of a worrier! X

Liz you're not too fat to run! Well done on doing it. I'm going to the gym tomorrow first time in over a week. I've been really tired but did have a walk today at lunchtime. I am finding either the food part is great or the exercise bit is great but I'm not managing both at the same time. And I...
