I watch food programmes all the time and turn into quite the feeder when on Cambridge lol x

Mustard has citric acid in I believe and mustard powder doesn't. I want to add it to the yoghurt and use it as"mayo" for my tuna x

Vodka has no carbs and neither does coke zero. You will still be in ketosis x

You sure it's hunger? I'm in ketosis and I think about food a lot but I'm not actually hungry x

Nobody can help? X

Plain chicken salad with no dressing?

Its my eldests 5th birthday next sat and he wants to go on a picnic. I'm going to make some chicken tikka bites for myself and was thinking of doing some tuna and lettuce wraps. I'll be using my allowance of yoghurt for the tuna and tikka chicken. Can anyone tell me if powdered mustard is...

Aw thank you :) x

I work in a chip shop atm, with no air conditioning! I do 8-11 hour shifts. If I can stick to it so can you! Just had my second wi and lost 7lbs....it is worth it. X

I'm day 12, step 2 but in ketosis. Lost 14lbs last week and I do feel positive but the last 2 days I've gone off the products. Still had them but they make me feel nauseous :/ hoping it's just the weather lol x

If you don't deem getting ALL your daily vitamins and minerals healthy than what do you deem as healthy? It's low fat and low carb also healthy.

Never drink while in ketosis! It can seriously damage your liver! Not to mention your on so few calories that you would probably become incredibley drunk in less then half the normal amount it takes you. X

Same! I either have 3 choc tetras or 2 and a bar. Cannot stand strawberry and I can bare banana but Strawberry really makes me want to puke lol x

Sometimes it affects it sometimes it doesn't. Tmi but to me it makes my periods heavier and longer and more painful and sometimes I have a tiny gain but make up for it the next week. I've done cwp about 4 times lol and this time the first week was totm and I lost 15lbs still x

3 lbs every week for a year would be over 10 stone!! Remember, the numbers will go down and usually hover around 3-5lb every weeks once the firat couple of weeks are out of the way x

Yes, but not in the first few weeks. Start off slowly and build it up but nothing too strenuous x

2 x alpen light hexb hot choc using ss milk hexa banana x

Plain noodles and boiled rice are free from Chinese, but do they not put oil in them at all x

Free? Really....do they not put oil in them? X

Today my syns will be hot choc 2 light mayo 3 creme egg 9 x

2 chocolate rice cakes (amazing) 8 syns and I thinl that'll probably be all for today. Had a bad day Monday so trying to make up for it lol x

Im going to have to make those balls I think! Going to try making the syn free cake today using quark....fingers crossed it goes ok lol x

Today shall be some hula hoops 6.5 hot choc 2 squirty cream 3 meringue 3.5 x

I find they all have their own little challenges in them. The hardest was Atkins if I'm honest. Living on just protein was pretty difficult. They all work though if stuck to and you then maintain correctly X

As long as it isn't reformed its free. If it doesn't say if its formed or reformed you can guarantee its reformed and will probably need syn'ing.

Viscount 3.5 gravy 5 and hot choc 2 :)

I've done them all. WW, CWP, SS, LL, Atkins....I get to around the 15 stone mark and "think that will do" and stop. Determined to get past that this time though. Have a lot to look forward to in the next two years x

My consultant said you lose weight quicker if you don't use your hexs and if you only have up to 10 syns a day. I don't believe that as this is supposed to be abouy healthy eating not about who can lose weight the fastest.

I couldn't do this diet without muller lights.

I started last week at 20.4 and had my first WI yesterday and im down to 19.9! x

I will be having my weekend off hopefully!! So will be doing lots of exercise :)

First official WI have gone from 20.4 to 19.9 in a week!! Happy :) x

What are savoury cheese balls x

Virtually fat free cheese. Like a mix between philli and cottage cheese x

Morning, didn't write in diary yesterday as I literally forgot lol but I lost 9lbs!!! Very happy :) Todays food planned as: B: Weetabix (HexB) with Mullerlight and banana. L: Bacon and light philli (hexa) stuffed mushrooms. Fruit salad. T: Roasted Chicken, carrots, cauliflower, broccoli, new...

I'm going to use it as a dip today to see if I like it. Then, if I do like it, I'll start experimemting :) x

I love cheesecake! Will have to look it up x

I can and will :) x

Ah thank you, good to know! x

I'm on a 3 week rota. So my shifts are different each of those weeks. Can you go to a different meeting each week like ww if you can't make your normal one? Tia x

After seeing all the hype about it on here I went and bought some quark today. Anyone got anything nice to do with it? Tia x

Well, my mum was rushed into hospital sunday night as her Asthma was really bad :( so yesterday SW went out the window. Started off fine had Mullerlight with banana for brekkie but then I had a little snack feast with mum :( chocolate buttons, a chocolate mousse, a few marshmallows and a greggs...

Tonight will be either be smash with savoury mince (the boyfriend works really long shifts so can't do anything too extravagant) or baked potato with cheese and salad.

Roasted chicken, roasted new potatoes, cauliflower, leeks and gravy.

Rayne

Good morning on this miserable Sunday. Everyone is ill here today :( its my weekend off and I'm playing nurse lol Weighed myself, I know I shouldn't but it keeps me motivated, 3 lbs down since yesterday morning :0 shocked!! So, here's my food for today: Day 2 EE B: Weetabix (HexB) with...

Tea changed as the family had a takeaway so instead I cooked a mushroom, onion and chicken omelette :) x

Roast chicken, veg and new potatoes with gravy :) yum for 2.5 syns

Good luck! And I will :) x

Right, so I was due to go to my first meeting today but due to bad weather and no public transport it didn't happen :( so going to a meeting on Monday instead. However, I weighed myself on my scales this morning and saw 20 stone 4 1/2 lbs :( </3 so decided to start today under guidance of all...

Vikki

Quinn

Can I join you? My scales at home say 20.3 :( starting SW on Thursday. x

Those people have also paid their £5 though and might not have anyone to look after their child. I had knowone at one point and my mum lived 20 miles away, if I wanted to lose weight with support I had to take my son with me to class (ww at the time).

Hes only just 2 and deaf so a DVD is a no go :( im trying to convince my OH to join with me so if LO plays up one of us can sort him out and we won't miss out on any info etc. Thanks for all your help x

Thank you both. I will bring some snacks and small toys for him to play with and keep my fingers crossed he stays quiet lol

Finally convinced myself to join SW. Due to work commitments i can only go to morning classes and have knowone to look after little one? I have a phobia of talking to people on the phone (sounds stupid I know), im too embarrassed to ask someone to ring for me and there isn't an email address for...

I worked at Harvester and we never put oil or butter on the chicken. They did have seasoning on the skin of the chicken though. Corn is just grilled and potatoes are just heated up. Sometimes they oiled the potatoes but you would notice the oily texture HTH

I just use a few each day. I will be saving them next week though as i am going out 1 night and it's my sons birthday party another. Use them how you want, if there was a 'proper' way to use them ww wouldn't make it so you could use them however you wanted x

Honk for day 9 :)

Yes, it was lovely! Going to make it again in the week as my mum loved it :) x

Fruit starter and chicken main. I think they're the safest bets and pretty easy to point once you see the portion.

A loss is still a loss. Ww say 0.5-2lbs is a good weekly loss. Afterall, if we wanted quick fixes we wouldn't choose WW. Your not doing anything wrong if your not gaining!

I'd like to be 12 stone, which at 5ft8 puts me just on the edge of a healthy BMI.

Thank you! going to make it tonight :) x

Anyone tried the recipe on the ww website? tia x

Amazing! Honk for the last 2 days and a 5lb loss last week :)

Ww won't let you join if pregnant :( but you can do it off your own back. We are ttc number 3 and when i fall pregnant i will carry on ww on my own.

honk for the last few days :)

We got the Water parks and more option but wished we had just got the normal myw tickets :)

Honk for day 3 :)xx

Bloody Mary - 4 propoints* Sex on the Beach - 8 propoints* Strawberry Daiquiri - 4 propoints* Pina Colada - 6 propoints* Cosmo - 6 propoints* Vodka Tonic - 3 propoints* Alcohol and ProPoints* Bacardi Breezer 4 ProPoints per bottle* Coors light 4 ProPoints per bottle* Bulmers Light 4 ProPoints...

I got 38 x

I was there 5th-19th of November and while the weather was a bit all over the place, i loved it!! x

How old are you? I need that to work it out x

The bag is 3pp and the big single ones are 1pp :)

Honk for day 2 :) x

Honk for official day 1 yesterday :)

3 mini are 1pp :)

I know its 150g for 4pp just a bit annoying when your cooking a family meal :( oh well will just have to do my best lol thank you x

Anyone know cooked weight propoints for sweet potato? Tia xx

4pp i think x

Curly wurly 3pp ww caramel marshmallow wafers are 1pp popcorn is relatively low in pps too but w/o looking it up i can't remember which brands are lower pp.

I love bagels with philli cheese and lean bacon :) yummy in my tummy xx

It would depend on weights etc.

Add strawberries and you have a yummy messy Eton mess for 2pp :) its true! I always have it but i have 2 nests, cream and strawberries for 4pp x

I could, i have 45 points so could easily have a fish and chips, small chicken kebab and a small breakfast. I wouldn't choose to do that though.

I love marshmallow fluff....strawberry is my favourite!

Eton mess is low in pp and super yummy x

Sounds about right. I'm 5ft7.5, 22, f And 19stone 6lbs and get 44 points.

You could use a little ramekin and work out pp for a single one x

Sainsburys healthier range are ww pointed :) well, was the last time i checked lol x

Last year all the customers got a chance to try Mango, Coconut and Cookies'n'cream. Then at the end of year conference all the CDC voted which they're customers preferred. Mango won! I was shocked, i hated it. I'm gutted it wasn't cookies'n'cream.

Nope, I'm on cwp so no food here. Tpbm is up way too early.

Ketosis is only an aid. Don't rely on it too much! It doesn't speed up weight loss. Just keep doing what your doing and you can't go wrong x

Nope but i do have a slight addiction :/ lol tpbm is looking forward to the kids being back at school

I'd like to lose 20lbs this month....i think i'm the biggest here so i know i should lose it if i remain 100% :) xx

Last time i checked.....nope lol tpbm has blue jammies

watering

I'm a chef anyways so i cook most days, all day. At home i get really experimental and cook random bits and then leave them to eat lol x

Well, you look amazing either way. well done x

You don't look 20 stone in the first pic. How tall are you? i'm 5'7 and a half....when i was last at 15 stone i was in a size 14/16 so i'm hoping when i get to my goal i won't look too thin but i guess i won't know until i get there! x

Yes, except i turn into a feeder and tend to want to cook for everyone :) x

How much have you lost? You look at goal now!! Amazing and inspirational xx

Name and shame so we can warn others in your area! What a tosser....sorry for the language but i hate money hungry pricks....rant over :)

I have a 22 month old and a 4 year old....once your in ketosis and have the energy it's completely doable....first few days are real hard though x

Funnily enough i just went though all my left over packs and fished out all the out of date ones! Have some that need to be used by this month so using them over the next couple of days x

I haven't had my first shake yet! Plan on having it when kids are having their lunches :) I usually take 4 days to get into ketosis so i'm looking at Saturday to get that oh so wonderful hunger kill lol can't wait! x

Hello :) i have just under 9 stone to lose to be where i'd like to be. I re-start tomorrow using up some old packs before officially starting with a consultant on Tuesday x

Well done xx

I love choc mint, banana and toffee and walnut shakes, chocolate and orange bars and most soups when i'm in the mood for one. I also like choc tetras and find that i really start to crave them after a while! I always aim to drink a litre of water between packs. I wake up have a litre before my...

IWillBeAYummyMummy- 22 y o - Starting weight: 271 lbs - Goal weight: 154 lbs - Highest weight ever: 295 lbs - Lowest weight ever:210lbs - Diet: Cambridge Sole Source - Starting date: 2nd of Jan 2013 :) xx

Nope but my brother just left to go to the Saints Game :) tpbm had broken a bone.

I am completely re-doing my flat :) TPBM is working today

Nope to the pub lol TPBM is staying in tonight

I'm a biter, i used to always get nail extensions but because i got promoted to Sous Chef i can't have long nails anymore :( I have baths to distract me or do some cleaning. My house is sparkling whenever i'm on a diet lol x

There is a stickie on this :) x

Thank you, will check it out!! x

Can i join :) x

I'm on the look out for one....preferably hand blender that can crush ice like nobodys business. Any recommendations? I like my shakes thick like McDonalds ones :) x

I loved it when i actually couldn't be bothered with the third pack but knew i needed to have it x

You could always split 1 or 2 of your packs? Have half a pack when you know you will be least hungry and leave the other half for when you are feeling hungrier maybe?

I'll be on it from the 8th :) although i have about 120lbs to lose. So i'd be a buddy x

When your near target or at target your much better following a low carb, low fat and high protein diet of around 1200-1500 calories. Something that can set you up for life x

Oristat...is that the tablet with the erm awful side effects? Maybe have a shake made with hot water? Not quite the same but lovely and warm. x

If someone gets you down about cheating you feel so low and for a lot of us low feelings = binging. So, as a support forum its easier for us to say if you feel you NEED food have some protein rather then binge or cheat and come completely off plan. I'd rather someone had a blip then completely...

My mum lost 7 stone in 6 months of step 3....do not be disheartened, you can still get the same results. Once your bmi hits 49 you will go on step 2. Its been this way since i first did it in 2009 x

I had one most days tbh....with some summer berry jelly....:p x

Yes, however it's usually first thing in the morning and then by night your out of it but the next morning your back in IFYKWIM xx

You can stay in Ketosis on step 2 and hit around 80/90g of carbs on that. It would also depend how carb sensitive you are x

If you go into stickies, there is a recipie section. Have fun! x

I think you need to post 50 times :)

They do lose some but Its ok as an occasional "treat" or if you have a 4th pack x

I'm a repeat offender!! Always back with near on the same amount to lose.....oops. Starting back on the 9th hopefully. Totally different consultant and with a boyfriend who supports me :) bring it on!! Again :)

There is a CD diary bit up the top :) there are loads of diaries up there x

My mum lost 7 stone in 21 weeks of step 3 x

That's what i thought but didn't want to seem rude lol

I'm a restarter queen! I do so well for a month or two then something knocks me for ten and i can't do it anymore. However, i want to get married in 2014 in a size 12 dress so i'm restarting the first week of January and won't stop until I'm in that dress! x

Its because they also take into account the fats, vitamins etc you get from it. The average calorie intake of any combination of allowed proteins and Veg is around 200 calories.

Wow!! Well done!! x

You carry your weight very well. I'd have thought you was nearly at goal just by looking at those pictures! Also, i love your hair :) x

Wow! Well done x

burnt

together

Ending

jet off

completely agree! I always have it with strawberries its so yum x

All fruit is free as long as its in its natural juices x

Id have reported her for being rude!! I can buy tops in a size 18 but have to go to the plus size section for bottoms as i'm still a 20/22. I hate the cheap clothes shops that say 2xl but are like a size 14 :(

in the stickies x

16 weeks now!!!

You could just divide each ingredient by 4 lol x

8 points is a lot to leave. 2-3 maybe every now and then but not 8 lol did u have something? x

Thank you :)

My mum is on her 25th week of step 3 and will hit the 100lb loss mark next week :) x

I restarted last week :) lost 6.5lbs on my first wi. I want to lost at least another stone by the end of September x

:) go for it! It's there to help us all :D

yummy!!

Have you seen this? http://m.philadelphia.co.uk/philadelphia3/page?siteid=philadelphia3-prd&locale=uken2&PagecRef=646&clafa=969

And no more then 2 portions of the higher carbed fruits x

which is why it makes sense to switch to a diet where she can eat more and lose the same amount x

Warburton wraps with ham and pineapple and chill for me :p

my mum is on cwp still she's lost almost 100lbs in 25 weeks on step 3 but her losses are now 1-2lbs most week and she doesn't want to go down steps so she's thinking about jumping to ww too but im worried she will still be disheartened and mess up her work so far x

same!! x

im gonna look for this!

I seem to go between ww and cwp. Im doing ww now til end of September then doing cwp til my holiday :) x

Sorry to hear you have had a bad time lately!! Keeping my fingers crossed it gets better real soon x

this is 4 years old lol x

http://www.minimins.com/weight-watchers-propoints-queries/272674-ice-cream.html :)

i have the same

I have 2 weetabix, semi-skimmed milk and a sliced banana every morning :) i'm a bit boring like that lol occasionally i have creamy mushrooms on toast but that is a treaty breakfast for me :) x

I always use Pepsi max :)

scrummy!!

totally agree

You should always have all your dailies. Nuts, dried fruits, cheese are all great to snack on to use up points.

A sts is a practice run for maintaining :)

Not doing Cambridge anymore :( lost all willpower so back to ww until October. I am a single mum of 2. My youngest is 17 months and deaf, so challenging and my eldest is 3 but 4 next week. I have a good relationship with their dad and he has them twice a week. I use that time for gym and classes...

Me :) i need to lose 75-90lbs! Although aiming to lose 2 stone by November x

I tone three times a week...i have lost 4 inches off them but I've lost 16 inches off my waist so it seems so little x

If your very active you need to be on minimum step 2 x

I don't think her advice was snappy :/ hmm.... My arms are 17 inches....id kill for them to be 11 inches!! They are my worse part though, i hate them.

There is a rrp but its like any business they can charge what they like as they need to make a profit x

You will be in ketosis by Sunday x

2.15 per pack, 2.40 per tetra and bar x

My mum has lost 93lbs in 24 weeks which works out at just under 4lbs a week x

Possibly

Asda and superdrug sometimes have them but boots always has them x

You could buy an atkins bar? Its not a meal replacement but will keep you in ketosis x

Carrion Inn LBV what about you? X

Only??? That's almost half a stone!! Well done x

Im staying at the Clarion inn this time and next year we are staying at The Old Key West Disney Hotel :) x

As long as its not too strenuous, just increase your protein portion. x

Chicken kebabs, cottage cheese stuffed pepper or mushroom, cottage cheese as a dip with different veg...

They would be high in carbs i would think x

At the back of the book there is a page with substitutes for skimmed milk x

140 days to go for me.:)

You can have balsamic dressing :) and although mayo isn't on plan, if its the thing that will help keep you on plan a tablespoon will not bring you out of ketosis as its low carb x

I have done a mix of ss+/810/1000 and have lost 2 stone 5lbs in 8 weeks x

Thqts is very outdated. It changed to 80g a long time ago x

80grs on both steps x

Very normal. Its withdrawal symptoms mixed with entering ketosis x

Chicken and mushrooms, steamed? x

yeah x

if you have the book it will tell you how much semi skimmed you can have instead of skimmed x

It contains sodium citrate which comes from citrus acid x

Fave is choc tetra and worst is mango.

yes citrus acid takes you out of ketosis, it won't stop weightloss though.

My mum has been on step 3 for 22 weeks and lost 90lbs x

Coke Zero does have citrus acid in it but it is under a different name.

Only leaf teas as fruit teas can bring you out ketosis x

Yeah, i was diagnosed at 14 as it was almost a side effect of things that happened at that time.

A binge to me is probably a good 2000+ calories over 1 maybe 2 hours and then either throwing it up, starving myself for days or taking at least 12 laxatives to compensate for what i had eaten. However, i have been doing it since i was 14. It started off as a few packets of crisps in say 10 mins...

I like eggs.

My consultant is all for it but i was very honest about my binging with her. It's either i use the different steps or i do one good week followed by one bad week. I have completely changed my attitude to the diet now. If i want some carbs, i will have them and if i want a small protein portion i...

I allow every day to be different. If i think that today will be hard i'll have a step 3 day, if its gonna be easy i have a ss+ day. The key is to keep cwp in your diet, even in the background. It saves binging and step 3 is a very large evening meal! Don't feel bad for being human. Anyone who...

0.5/1lb difference per week x

I was doing ss but last week i mixed it up a bit and had some step 3, 2 and ss+ and lost 8lbs in my 8th week...ignore my stats they are old lol x

Any colour change is fine as long as it is not darkest purple as that would indicate dehydration x

Wow!! You look so slim! I love your face shape and hair! Well done x

You need the 3 cwp products, you can skip the meal but not the pack. Also, you can lose on any step large amounts. My mum has lost 90lbs in 22 weeks on step 3 which is 4lbs a week on average. X

I've read all 3 and love them all :) x

Hello hun!! Exciting isn't it? Good luck xx

Make a hot shake...they always kill my hunger pangs :) x

Varies from consultant to consultant but usually between 4.50 and 7.00 x

Same as ss+ but bigger protein portion and milk x

123456789100000000......

White chock.....yummmmm

Any colour change is ketosis x

Love lypsy! I have loads stored for my holiday i have bought. Hoping it will be too big tho lol x

...

Not really, i'm always in Ketosis within a couple of days doing either ss or ss+ x

It's completely up to you. On ss+ you will stay in Ketosis, Step 2 you are in and out and step 3 up is no Ketosis. Also Step 2 upwards you can do more exercise x

yuppie :) tpbm is having a roast dinner today

By Day 5 at the max you should enter ketosis. If you feel hungry have something off the ss+ food list x

Step is 810. Average monthly losses are SS 14lbs, ss+ 13lbs, step 2 12lbs, step 3 9lbs, step 4 7lbs and Step 5 6lbs x

No problem :)

My mum lost 18lbs her first week, 4 lbs second and then 6lbs third. Shes now got a pattern of sts, -1, -1, -7. This is on step 3, so really anything from 3-8 weeks would be realistic x

£42....would you not spend that on your weekly shop, treats, takeaways, coffees etc x

underwear? lol tpbm has a gas cooker

Undercovertourist.com always comes up cheaper for us :)

I believe the same :)

Could eat a whole jar right now :p tpbm has a pair of scales in their bathroom

plenty :( latest was a mastoidectomy and reconstruction. I was completely deaf and now i can hear :) Tpbm has had chicken pox

nope...cartoon network! lol tpbm has been to the Isle Of Wight

Nope gained a lb lol Tpbm is off out tonight
