Hi, congratulations! Can't see your stats as on phone but I'm hoping your right and it's water. I'm 5ft 5 so could go down to 9 stone and not be "not too thin" but can't be starving myself till the wedding. Sticking to my original plan of 9.7 - what are you aiming for?

Hi there, I low carb but not strictly Atkins as I too have some fruit and "good carbs" such as oats for porridge. I think just try what works for you and if you gain or stall change something to see if it helps...for example I know caffeine and milk are not really good so if I need a boost I...

Do you think the fasting works if you do it for part of the day or does it need to be a whole 24hours?

Your calories are very low, I don't think it's good to go below about 1200 a day. No expert but think it has something to do with keeping your metabolism going. Those on an Atkins style low carb would tell you to add more far and that fruit has sugars but I haven't cut out fruit and have lost a...

I'll check a few days on mfp as if it is too low then might be slowing weight loss down...just need to get through this week with a loss then can reassess.

Hi all, I did SW about 7 years ago and maintained for a long time but then as with most put it back on, tried other diets but always failed...am getting married next May so it's time to come back to SW as I know it works and loose it for good! I've not really done EE before but going to give it...

Have decided on champagne coloured bridesmaid dressed and lots of ivory/cream/white for flowers, we are sort of edging towards a birdcage thing..but not 100% yet.

Hi all, I'm not an atkins-er just low carb. Is peanut butter allowed? If so what do you have it on?

so level 2 done and have lost an inch off my waist but haven't lost any weight - this is mainly due to the fact I have been sticking to the diet during the week and not at all at the weekends. This needs to change! Maybe level 3 will shred it out of me...

I am well behind you lot, only venues booked (So ceremony, celebrant, food) but we do have 13 months. Photographers next on the list then dress shopping :-)

How's everyone's planning going? What have you booked/bought already?

Day 5 DONE! Half way there and been really good with food and lots of water last two days

Day 4 of level 2 and still going strong, had yet another naughty food weekend so being extra good this week. Fingers crossed the shred will Cancel it out :-)

Level 2 started - its a killer. Did measurements and no inch loss yet but then food hasn't been great last couple of days so will see after another 8 days of level 2!

So...day 10 of level 1 this evening, it's gone quite quickly and am a little scared of level 2! Will take measurements tonight to see if level 1 has made any difference.

Thanks, good idea I'll have a look for a recipe book :-)

Day 6 L1 Good food until late evening. 1 x tea and 1 x coffee but had 2 glasses of red wine and bit of chocolate :-(

Day 5 L1 shred Good food, 1 x tea, 1 x coffee lots of water

Day 4 L1 Shred As I didn't do it yesterday I did it first thing this morning 7:30am and again at 3:30pm :-) Food good, 2 x decaf coffee with skimmed milk and lots of water

Day 3 - BAD Poor excuse really but out for work in the rain went to three different places to find something good but nothing and gave in starving for a panini :-( Also straight out till late so no shred..make up for it tomorrow

Thanks Katie, hopefully. I did my measurements before so will report back at the end of the month

2nd May - 30 day shred D2 L1 Good food, 3 x decaf coffee with skimmed milk and lots and lots of water

1st May 2013 - 30 day shred begins!!! Day 1 Level 1 Food was good. 1 normal coffee with skimmed milk and lots of water

How about using five spice and bit of soy sauce? Or if you like spicy, fresh chillies, garlic and ginger into a paste?

Welcome, another May bride - its very popular. I have booked to try first dresses on exactly 1 year before the wedding :-)

No worried Phoenyx, I'll be joining you on the shred 1st May :-)
