Back again... Hi :) At the start of the year i was 16st!! Heaviest i've been on here!! The lightest i got on here due to Cambridge was 12/9 then i went onto WW and got down to 12/5 :) and put everything back on again :cry: Anyway,lol, here i am again weighing in at 15/6 this morning. So far...

2 weetabix (2pts) with ww yogurt over the top ! yum !! ;)

Hi to anyone who remembers me and hello to everyone i don't know :) I'm restarting Cambridge tomorrow - so i'll post my weight and let you know how my first day goes tomorrow night ! It's been over a year, nearly a year and a half i think, since i did Cambridge last (and will show when i...

Hi LightRaven :) We've lost the same amount of weight so far! Yes i'm not actually noticing it when i look at myself but i have noticed my ankles are not so sore, especially when i get up in the middle of the night to the toilet,lol!! Good luck on your journey ;)

Yesterday i had porridge followed by a shake for lunch and a shake for dinner. The single shakes taste lovely but these ones you make up with milk is for me a totally different story! Not nice!! I'm going to stick with it as the one IMPORTANT thing they have over the single shakes, for me is...

All that you say is very true! Trying to get my head in the same place is the problem. I'll get there one day :) For now i'll keep going till i find myself in a place where i'm comfortable ;) Good luck to you ! x x

On the 21st Jan 09 i was 15st 5lbs and since then i've lost 7lbs. I've done this through jumping between WW, Cambridge, SlimFast and sensible diet and exercise. Not healthy i know... I'm trying to make good food choices right now and as weekends are my downfall, i've decided to take 2 shakes...

Oh PLEASE someone answer, as my friend and i walk there at least twice a week and have our free coffee but take our own biscuit in!

Does anyone know where we can buy the chocolate and whites just like the pink and whites which we know we can get just about anywhere? :) Thankyou!

Tizzy where are you? ... I hope your doing ok! x x

Good morning Tizzy :) what have you lost today? Yesterday i had 4pts of water, 2 black coffees and 1 coffee with milk, and of course 3 Tetras and i lost 2lbs. Usually on my first weigh in i lose 3lbs - i'll wait and see how it goes, might have to up the water and cut out that coffee with...

Tizzy keep going !!!!! I've restarted today and i'm hoping to lose 2st 9.5lbs in 7wks like i did last summer. I'm 15/3 just now but hope to be between 12/7 and 13/0 for Easter! We CAN do this as we've done it before!!! :) I'll be checking in on you every day ;) We can help each other...

I am going to VERY quietly say..... "I'm on Day 6 of Cambridge" ;) If i get through tomorrow then i'll start posting every day again from Tuesday onwards :) PLEASE! let me get through one more day!!!!!! lol!

tizzy!!!!!! :) How are you? :) I hope your ok! How did your app go with the hand surgeon? ((hugs)) x x :)

I meant to say, i did phone the Weight Management Centre last Thursday and they said they would send out an appointment so i'm still waiting. Also, i know i said i would count points this week but i don't really see the point (pardon the pun!) as i know i'm not over eating or snacking :) Not...

thanks Emma :) me too!!! ;)

hi minime :) :wow:! that's amazing that you can tell that from my posts as it's very true!!!! It seems to have a calming effect on me :D So how are you?

hi charliegirl :) I really hope my Doctor offers me the higher dose if the scales show the dose i'm on now isn't working...! All she said to me was she would take me off them if i hadn't lost 10lbs in 3mths. Here's me hoping to lose 8lbs in 4wks,:8855:!!!! I'm so glad that it all worked out...

thanks Anna :)

hi Dobo :) thanks! Did you get out for your weigh in, and if so, how did you get on? Yeah i totally agree that our state of mind has alot to do with our ability to lose weight. Mine must be bloody awful,lol!

Hi blackwidow, I'm going to just wait till the month is up because if i start weighing on my scales again, and i see a gain or sts then i'm going to get messed up in my head again. It's a real problem for me! Where as if i wait and not think about scales then i'm hoping it will be a nice...

thanks for your message Gemma :) How are things with you? I hope things are a little easier emotionally for you x x

Here's my update as it's now been a week i've been on Reductil - First of all i haven't counted points, but instead, i have been having 3 meals a day with no snacks inbetween :) The first couple of days i thought to myself it wasn't going to work as i was still eating about the same. But then...

Hey Dobo! :) Have you started Reductil? :) Did you see the same Doctor?

Hi Dobo, You say at one time you had about 4 or 5 stone to lose! Well done you for getting it down to 2st! ;) was this with WW or like me sometimes, luck,lol!? Yes like you i was young when i first started dieting. I particularly remember going on the pill at 18 and suddenly my thighs got...

Thankyou Karenlou and Jack123 :)

thankyou Irene and Anna :) Day 2 and i feel energetic?? Hope this keeps up,lol!

Hi dinkadonka :) Good luck with your journey! Mine has more downs than ups in it right now, so i can totally understand where you are on yours. I have been referred to a weight management centre to try and get my head round "food" and what it means and shouldn't mean,lol! I also just...

thankyou minime, Anna and Emma :) I went to see the Doc this morning and she gave me Reductil (10mg) As my app was at 10.15am i didn't take my first capsule till about 10.45am. As of tomorrow i'll take it about 8am. I have to see the Nurse in 2wks to get my blood checked etc and then 2wks...

I phoned for my blood results late this afternoon, and they were all clear!!! :) Next step is the Doctor on Tues morning :) Also recieved my letter today from the Glasgow Weight Management Service asking me to phone them if i still want to go ahead with it. Of course i do, so i'll phone them...

I wish i had only 2.5st to lose,lol but i'll bet your 2.5st feels as bad and as long a journey as my 6st!!!! lol! I also eat for all the same reasons. Although, i have to say, when i really am happy, i tend to manage my food intake so much better. Which means, i must be unhappy MOST of the...

Results are in tomorrow but i won't be able to see my Doctor till next Tuesday morning when she's back in Surgery. I'm going to phone tomorrow after 3pm to see if the results are actually in though. Not sure what they can really tell me over the phone about blood results. I think if there was...

hi Dobo :) thankyou for telling me your experience! Can i ask, did you have alot to lose last time you were on Reductil? Did you find yourself hungry while on it? What time of day did you take it? Sorry for all the questions :o It does go to show that while one drug may work for one person...

Let me know if you go back on it, we can keep each other company :)

Sandy, 5mths is a long time to be on anything, especially since in your opinion it didn't work,lol!? I actually thought you were going to say 2,.. 3wks at the most,lol! :)

hey minime thankyou for your experience and valuable information here :) You only take it once a day??? When you say you took it early, how early? lol! I did speak to the Nurse today and told her i favoured Reductil going by the info i found online from different sites and most importantly...

Ameythist :) thankyou for telling me your experience on Reductil! It's great to hear feedback whether good or bad on this :) You stuck with it for 3mths - although you say you didn't learn anything, were there any side effects for "you?" I do realise it's different for everyone.. I guess i'm...

lol! Sandy :) How long were you on it before deciding to come off?

lol! thanks Anna :) i can only imagine x x At least with Reductil you can have a wee treat - i hope? but with Exenical it really is a matter of NO! NO! NO!

Hi minime :) Yeah i've totally gone off the Exenical i have to admit! Reductil sounds like a much better "tool" for me. You say you feel you may be in the same position as me, and you used Reductil - can i ask if it helped you and in what way? Did it help you feel less hungry? How often...

Interesting read, i'm thinking of taking Exenical also... my Doctor mentioned it last week :)

Thanks Sandy :) Now that is interesting... I would love to have you as my very own little personal book that i could carry around with me ;) I'd be slim!!!!! I'll talk to my Doctor and see what she suggests but i have to admit, Reductil sounds like a better one for me.

My ticker looks strange as i've only put in my target weight as i'm not "actually" dieting just now - but i have also so far not been over eating since talking with my Doctor :)

I went to my Doctor on Wednesday because of my yo yo dieting and how badly it has been effecting me emotionally. Example - lost 6lbs one week and lost 1lb the following - only to put 7.5 back on the next week!!! Why? Constantly over eating again, again and again. I jump from class to class...

Thanks Karen :) i'm usually on 21 points! I was doing so well up untill Saturday, must have been all the left over Halloween goodies,lol!

JOOLS!!! :eek: I've only just found your thread, and that was by accident,lol!! So happy to see you around again :) I hope things pick up for you at home and with your diet real soon babe! You were such a wonderful support to me when i was doing the CD! ;) I just can't believe i didn't find...

1lb loss this week :( but did get my silver 7 :) Only been on the teadmill twice this week :( Still taking AdiosMAX :) But, haven't really stuck to my points :( Really need to get my ass into gear!! Going to drop my points to 16, walk 3miles every day on the treadmill (which works out at...

Well done to everyone's weightloss so far!!! :) I've lost 7lbs in total! Took a while,lol! Thanks for updating me ;) x x

Hi tizzy :) weigh in this morning and i lost 1lb this week so we're still the same weight 14/3 :) Every Tuesday i'll be looking in on you especially,lol! I hope everything goes ok for you. The hand sounds sore though!! Are you able to actually use it?? I'm doing fine tizzy ta! I'm shocked i...

Well done blackwidow!!! :) That's totally fantastic! I lost 1lb this week :( but got my first silver 7 ;)

Do you have a date for the check up next month tizzy? Thinking of you ...

Well done on the sale of your house! That's fantastic news, especially as things are the way they are right now! AND, you managed to find somewhere to rent!! :) The only way is up for you right now ;)

Aww tizzy :( How are things now? Well done you on getting back on track!!! ;) Your doing SOOOO bloody well missy :) Stress is such a horrible thing effecting EVERY corner of everything we do and feel! ((hugs))

Hi blackwidow :) Thankyou! Good luck to you also for tomorrow morning!!!!! I'll be posting my results between 12:00 and 1pm.

Karen, well done you!! :) TOTM started early yesterday morning and i'm hoping it's gone by Tues at 10am for my second weigh in,lol!! I've only been on the treadmill once since Tues :( Still taking the Adios MAX though, and still sticking to WW ;)!!

Thanks for that Karen :) I agree with the best diets! Eating low carb you will certainly lose weight. I was doing Atkins for 2wks and lost a stone back in 02. Since then i have sadly put it back on and MORE!!! lol! WW is great and teaches you how to eat sensibly which is what my body...

Anyone know how many points are in 25mls of Glen's Vodka? :)

Aww thankyou Emma :)

thanks Beverly :) I know it's the way to go! ;) I think what's helping me also is, i'm not snacking as much. I tend to be filling up more on things that will make me feel fuller longer. Today i made a big pot of zero point soup and it's lovely and thick, yummy :) QUESTION - does onion make...

I agree ! I'm going to stick with WW :) I was in asda this morning and i was asking the woman who works there and who was at the sausage roll bit,lol, if they were getting the WW ones in again. We got talking (after she saw me pull out my WW calculator to point the points in the "Good For...

Yeah being realistic i know this isn't possible on WW. Although i've stopped my mthly pass i can still use it till the 11th Nov which is what i'm doing. I'll do exactly the same as the past week for this week coming and see how my second weigh in goes. If i'm not happy then i think i might try...

You look FANTASTIC tizzy!!!! :wow: Guess what Mutley? :sign0151: We're the SAME weight!! :crazy: I had my first weigh in this morning and i've lost 6lbs this week bringing me down to 14/4, lol! The heat is on :massmoon: pmsl! Well done tizzy :) x x

The past week i've been taking the Adios MAX, walking off between 300 & 350cal s on the treadmill and doing WW every day - at my first weigh in this morning i have lost 6lbs. I am happy with that but what i really want to know is whether the AdiosMAX had anything to do with it :confused: as i...

Hi Karenlou :) Just to let you know that i haven't got round to having this yet but i WILL be having it tomorrow after my weigh in at 10am so i'll let you know what it's like tomorrow sometime! :)

Are you meaning the ww choc brownies at 2.5? If so, where do you get the ones with the white on top? yum!! :)

hi there :) I'm enjoying reading your thread and i was wondering about the icecream from Lidls? Sounds good to me ;)

thanks for that purpleprincess :) I'm in Morrisons regularly aswell and i've never seen them,lol! Superdrug? I would NEVER have thought to look in there :D

Thanks for that lydia :) After i read this yesterday i went out to get a loaf this morning! I was really surprised to see how thick the slices actually are! I came home and i've just had 2 slices with turkey ham and mayo - yummy and REALLY filling ;) Deffo a good buy!!

Thanks for that jennikay :)

Hi tizzy :) Yeah i'm on day 2 and already feeling great and not so tired. Yes i'll be Penelope Pitstop :bliss: I went out with a guy with the nickname Mutley,lol, well, when i say i went out with him, what i mean is, we served a purpose for each other at the time :whistle: Well done you...

Thankyou :) now to work out the sauce and what nice things i can put on top! ;)

Will do Karen :) Anyone know how many points in one Napolina Large Pizza Base? It says per 100g 291cals and sat fat is 1.2 On the box it says Twin Pack (2x150g) 300g .... ? I worked it out at 4.5pts for the 100g but then how do i half that to get the exact points... i guess it's 2.2.5...

Hi :) could you please tell me where you get the ww sausage rolls and the cheese and onion rolls? I used to buy them in asda but haven't seen them for a loooong time :( Like you i found them very filling! ;)

Have you tried the Walkers Baked Sour Cream & Chive 95g bag, 70% LESS FAT and the best part is.... their only 6points for the whole bag!!! :happy036: I've got a bag in to snack on while watching "Creep" with my friend on Sat night! :hide: pmsl!!

When i was at my ww class yesterday the leader was talking about this and someone pointed out that they keep the skin on (as that's the best part for you!) and slice it into chips, season them and roast! ;) Sounds yummy and i'm hoping to buy one tomorrow to try out!

"WELL DONE" FattyMcBigbum!! :party0038: That's fantastic! ;)

LOL! tizzy!!! :) I'm over the 200lbs mark (206) AND i'm heavier than you - i went to ww this morning and i weighed in at 14/10!!!!! The fight is on,lol! or should i say race,lol! Good going tizzy :) your fab!!! x x

Went down to class and i weighed in at 14/10!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The leader was selling tea and toast for 20p which i took :) and i stayed for the meeting. So i had me a nice warm filled tummy while listening to the leader talk about fruit and veg this week :) I'm on 21points, i'm walking off...

Thankyou Lozbo :)

Well, the WW class i was attending back in Feb/March this year, i am going to go back to tomorrow! :) It's the only class i actually went every week faithfully too and i lost 13lbs in the 5wks :) Here's to 10am tomorrow morning :) x

Hi loselose :) I can't give you any advice or help here as i'm exactly the same as you. The amount of times i go back to Cambridge but fail, has become a joke!! My hubby has just been up from London for a week and is now on his way back down. During his week here we had every take out going...

Hey tizzy :) WOW! at your weightloss!! I know i sound like a broken record but, WELL DONE!! :) You must be near 14st now??? 14/2?

Hi there :) Am i right in saying your taking 2 CD soups/shakes/Tetras or bars and a low carb meal each day? Interesting as i'd often thought about taking 2 Tetras plus a meal and just wondered how you were getting on :)

Thanks guys :) I can't believe i've actually made it through day 1!!!!! I've been retrying and retrying since... forever,lol! I do have a sore head but i've taken something for it and i'm about to head to bed so i can wake up and tell myself "I got past day 1!" :) I'm also not going to...

Day 1 (Tuesday 7th Oct) so far 1pt of plain water and 1 Hot Choc Tetra! weight - 14/2 aim - 9st!

Hi there :) I'm going to retry Cambridge again tomorrow :o as eating food is BAD for me,lol! I can't control it!! :cry: Thanks for that info on low carb ;) I honestly can't control my food intake and in 3mths i've put 2st on!!!! :eek: Wish me luck! x x:wave_cry:

tizzy!!!! WELL DONE!!!! :bliss: 2st gone!!!!!!!! :scale: and in such a short period of time aswell :party0011: Go tizzy :party0049: I noticed you haven't posted in a wee while - i hope your ok?

Hi puggso and FattyMcBigbum :) I know exactly what you mean about shops moving things around,lol! I had the shake for breakfast and i actually prefer it to SlimFast as it wasn't as sweet! It was very pleasant infact :) let's not forget ALOT cheaper ;)

"Light Choices" seem to be doing more than just the meals that i enjoy (well,lol, most of them) I only noticed the meal replacement shakes tonight. I love the BIG selection Tesco has of "diet" shakes etc!! More than any other shop i've been in :)

Hi Stephen :) I was informed on the SlimFast thread that you might have used the Light Choices shakes? I picked one up tonight and was looking for others that had used it and was hoping for some feedback ;) Not to mention it's cheaper than the actual SlimFast shakes themselves,lol...

When i was in Tesco tonight, i noticed the L/C meal replacements at 59p. I bought the Chocolate flavoured one as that's what i also like when it comes to the S/F shakes :) I noticed they also do the tubs that you add milk too but i thought i'd take the single serving to try before commiting...

tizzy! how are you feeling now???? :cry: Why did you feel the way you did? Is it your health issues? :hug99:

How's the songs going? :)

Hey you???? chin up!!! YOU ARE DOING FAB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;) love and hugs x x

Em... :o wot does tbh mean? :o :help2:

Oh noooo!! yer kidding?? lol! So not fair is it? :cry:

pmsl!!! i can't believe that was the one you picked?? Did you like it? The mash in most of the L/C meals seems to be a bit yucky right enough :sick0019: My fav so far is the one with the big roast potatoes in it..... can't remember the name of it.... but i'll be getting more :eat: It really was...

Hi minime :) Aw, how sweet your husband is :) I wouldn't have owned up either, no way. I'll bet it tasted oh so good ;) I couldn't tell you howe much the products cost weekly as i haven't managed to get into the whole 2 shakes, meal and snacks thing so far :o I'm basically doing WW but i...

OH MY GOD tizzy :) 25lbs gone!!!!! Yipppee!!!! Good going ;)

hey thanks 911toc :) Congrats on your bundle of joy too!!!! How low carb did you go? I mean, they say (Dr Atkins) to keep it to 20g of carbs a day for the first 2wks or did you do a basic low carb diet? If so, can i ask which sort of meals you were having? :o I did low carb for 2wks back...

Thanks Tange, i'll take note of that ;)

Hey thankyou for your support Aliceinwonderland ;)

Very well said munkypooh :party0048: I was on Cambridge for 9wks and those products (as do LighterLife and others) do have everything your body needs in them :p

Hi munkypooh :) Thankyou for the info there! ;) I must admit i did feel confused about the cals i burn on the treadmill...? I've actually gone up to burning 200cals twice a day. When i see the 200cals come up, to me that's me burned 200cals :confused: Otherwise, why would they have the cals...

I don't know about s&s chicken Hong Kong style but the s&s chicken balls or Peking style is 10pts Plain boiled rice is 6.5pts Enjoy ;)

Aw thanks tizzy mate ;) another half a pound and i will get my "silver 7" at WW!! Hopefully that will be this Wednesday morning ;) I actually weigh on MY scales on the Thursday morning and then post on this thread as it's my scales on xmas day that i want to be 12st on :) I'm so complicated...

A pound a week would mean 28wks to lose 28lbs but if your losing 2lbs a wk you could safely lose 2st in 14wks. That's what i'm aiming for - i hope to be 12st on xmas day on my scales at 2lbs a week and so far i'm on target ;) Good luck x x

Yes, i deffo need to be in the right frame of mind or else i get caught up in a horrible cycle emotionally :wave_cry:

Thankyou missrachyp :) I've been all over the place with my diet since coming off Cambridge in the summer :break_diet:Hopefully though, this is me back on track with WW again! I haven't started a Diary as i'm waiting till i have earned my first "silver 7" which means i'll probably keep going...

If you take out the monthly pass it says you can go to as many meetings as you like! I thought, great, that might keep me motivated :) So i decided to get weighed twice a week, or so i thought!! My friend goes to one meeting on a Sat and i go to another on a Wednesday. So i decided i'd go with...

Fortune Cards is mine :) They are nothing like the Tarot Deck as they have little pics on them like a tree, house, dog, coffin, lady, etc and you read them together. Tarot is alot deeper :) and there is alot more of them,lol!

Another 3lbs down this week, AND, i'm on target for my 12st goal on xmas day :) sitting at 13/12 just now!

My original plan is back in force - 12st for xmas day so i've reset my ticker, poor thing, it must be sooo bloody dizzy,lol! ;) x

HELLO! HELLO! HELLO! :) Ok, i didn't get past day 1 on the Cambridge :( so let's move on, ahem! :) I've decided to combine WW with S/F. I'm on 21 points a day but right now i'm trying to stick to 16. I'm having a Slimfast Smoothie for breakfast, a S/F choc shake for lunch then a Light...

I know your right about the scales :o When i can see 13/13, which will mean i've said goodbye to the "14s," i promise i'll stop! :party0049: The next time i go to the chiipy i promise to let you know,lol! ;)

It's sooo hard getting to grips with anything to do with eating unless your one of those skinny annoying people that you meet in the "Q" at Burger King (like i did yesterday!:mad:) I honestly sometimes just want to say "Hey! You know what, you ENJOY, as people like me have to either count...

Hi FattyBigbum!!! :) I just have to tell you, last night i had the Light Choices "Beef In Red Wine" meal and although i ate it and it was very filling, i wouldn't buy it again! I had to add salt and pepper to give it some taste :(

What is the RC diet tara? :) Good luck with your weightloss journey!

I ended up binging last night (eating on the one side of my mouth,lol!) I've decided to give Cambridge another go! So far so good :) 3pts of water and 2 Tetras down :) My weak times are between now and going to bed so i'm not actually going to start a new thread till i'm past day 3 as god...

FattyMcBigbum you made me laugh there about the chips :) They were good, i have to admit ;) SLAP!! Thanks also for that info on the calories :) x x

:sick0019: isn't it disgusting?!!!! I had such high hopes for it aswell :sigh: I've got a mix of choc, banana and strawberry tetras in my fridge, in my freezer and in my spare room :bliss:All ready to go! I'm going to restart my ticker tomorrow (again) and do what your doing and weigh each...

:rotflmao::rotflmao::rotflmao::rotflmao: I was thinking before i posted this, "I hope Starlight doesn't find me in here!" ;) ... but of course you would, silly me! :busted: I need to tell you - you were soooo right about those Light Choices meals!! I will never buy WW ones again thanks to you...

Hey thanks guys :) You say to take half a pack before going on the treadmill flirty40greeneyes (love the name,lol) I only take the Tetras as a hot drink, cold shake and icecream. I'm a bit worried about the "glycogen" my body would use, if i DON'T, take half a pack before and after - could...

to be doing s/s AND burning 300cals walking on a treadmill every day? :eek: Advice please! :confused: Thanks ;)

I felt pretty low this morning after being 14/0 yesterday then 14/1 this morning, so, after being at the dentist this morning to get a filling taken out and refilled :( i went to the chippy for a bag of lovely hot chips which took me looong enough to suck and swallow as my left side of my mouth...

Are you doing calorie counting or S/F London_dancer? :) 20lbs in 3wks calorie counting?? :wow:and then is that 6lbs loss doing S/F for a week?? fantastic!! How many cals are you taking in a day using S/F if you don't mind me asking? :)

Thanks :) I don't understand it but i was 14/1 this morning :cry: I now need to lose 3lbs for next Thursday to be on track :badmood:I need to find out how many calories everone is taking in - so can i ask you first? :) also, how much are you losing each week taking in those calories? It's...

Damn! I meant to say 13/12 for next week,lol! ;)

Hi all :) I've lost 2lbs this week! Really need to be 13/13 next Thurs...

:rotflmao::rotflmao::rotflmao: oh Starlight you do make me laugh ! Quick question for you - on WW i was on 21points. As there is roughly 70cals per point, this worked out at 1470cals for me a day - i've started burning 300cals per day walking briskly on my treadmill - this would bring me down...

Also, at 1500cals per day, am i likely to lose 2lbs per week? :) I'm hoping to lose 2lbs per week between tomorrow and xmas day ;)

I am 5ft 1 and weigh 14/0. I would like to get to 9st. I walk briskly on the treadmill to burn 300cals every day. Am i right in saying 1500cals is good for me? I know our body NEEDS, 1200cals just to survive, and as i use 300cals on exercise, that's why i've said 1500. Thankyou for any help...

FattyMcBigbum :) Yeah i have had a few and there hasn't been even one that i didn't like so far! ;) The WW meals i have tried all of them,lol! I didn't like WW frozen soups!!!! I'm really hoping to be still 14/0 tomorrow as that means i'm on track for my 12st on xmas day. Hoping to lose 2lbs...

My meal today was boiled egg on toast! Yummy :) If you put that together with the fruit salad then that's me till my shake tonight :)

Hi tizzy, i'm doing SlimFast now,lol! Day2 and going strong!!

tizzy i am sooooo impressed with you AND your daughter!! :) Your weightloss is totally fantastic!! ;) How are you feeling? Apart from lighter ;)

Hey tizzy :) yeah that's me with the blonde hair,lol! I still have to have a wee gander through your one :) but be warned,... i will,:giggle:

First, well done on getting to day6 Ben!! :) I think that's a great plan you have with your CDC! I firmly believe that knowing what you weigh can really mess you up unless your strong enough to take on board that your weight can differ day to day. Right now since starting S/F i am weighing...

Hey thanks wannabe10 :) I love the smoothies and the choc shake best! :wow:

I NEVER get past reading the recipes!!:gen147: lol! I really should try :)

Well done nikci!! That's fantastic! I can only jog for 1min,lol! :o

Hi Bren :) How's Cambridge going? Do you know what you've lost so far? :) I totally agree with what you've said about goals. I was fed up counting pints of water, points etc and decided to give S/F a go! I am much more relaxed i have to say, even although it's only day 2,lol! At 10am i had a...

Me too!!!! :wavey:

I did it online last night so i guess i won't know till i take it into Boots for the first time? :confused: It really will be quite a saving getting it half price right enough! :D I've tried that WW meal and i like it. My fav meals are the ones made by "Light Choices" They are sooo much more...

Thanks FattyMcBigbum :) Just think, if we lose what we want in time for xmas, then we can relax more when the treats come out! ;) lol!

**14/0** this morning ! :) I've had my Smoothie but i'm not sure which meal i'm having yet!

Hi girlygirl :) That is good value! I only wish i could take them. After using the ready to drink ones, i could never go back to the tubs! I'd save a few wee pennies there if i could :)

Thanks London-_dancer :) I didn't know the offer ends on the 30th, so thanks for that ;) How long have you been on S/F?

:giggle:I bet your thinking, "What's this girl doing now?" :giggle: Thanks Starlight ;)

Good luck 911toc :)

Aw thanks lea :) I don't know how i'll get on but i'm going to give it my best shot as i seem to be failing at every diet right now and as i want to reach 12st for xmas day, i really need to get my butt in gear! lol! :) Good luck to you too!! :)

If i'm staying :) i'll give you my weight on Thursday!

Hi jennikay :) Is this thread for WeightWatchers only or can anyone join? The reason i'm asking is because i started SlimFast today and wasn't sure whether you would be keeping me on this thread or not - thought i'd better ask? :eek: There isn't many people doing S/F and there certainly...

I didn't stick to them folks :( ... or the diet for that matter :( Decided to give SlimFast a go! ;) Last time i did it was 98 and i lost 2st!

Gone onto SlimFast :) Fed up counting points!!

Good luck with your second weigh in kimbell :) How are you finding it so far?

Hey FattyMcBigbum :) Thanks for looking it up! That's me just joined and should recieve my card in the next 2 to 3 weeks!! Hopefully i'll be half a stone lighter by then,lol! ;)

Thanks DQ :) Have you had a good loss with S/F?

REALLY????? so what do i have to do? Can i join online or in store? Does it cost anything? :) Thanks FeelingFat!!

WOW! quick replys guys :) thankyou!!!!! Today i picked up 6 Choc SlimFasts for £3.49 in Sainsburys which i thought was great as asda are doing 4 for £4.50 just now!! There were no offers on the Smoothies though :( which i LOVE!! Tesco usually do a good deal on the Smoothies.

I'm not counting calories, points, carbs or anything else! Tired of all that,lol! **14/2** this morning - Day 1 (16th Sep) Basically i'm having 2 shakes a day with one meal - no snacks! Also taking "Cha-de-Bugre" 3 times a day which is supposed to make you feel fuller for longer. I'm burning...

Hi soolaboola :) Well done to you and your son on your fab weightloss journeys!! Am i right when i say, you have your 2 S/F shakes per day along with what ever calories are needed to make up your 1000cals per day? I notice a few people say 1000cals is too low long term - but this has worked...

Well done Jenny :) i think i may have a similar weightloss to you this week, but it's still a loss! ;)

Well done pixiepiratess ;) That's a really good loss!!

Thanks guys :) i'll deffo do that next time!

Hi jennikay :) I actually have 31lbs to lose and i think you have me down for 28lbs,lol, wish it was! :) My first weigh in last Wed was 14/3 and i'm hoping to be 12st for xmas. Thanks jennikay :) x

Hi tizzy! :) i'm watchin x-factor as i'm going through the threads,lol! x I'm good! Hoping for a good weightloss on Wed :)

Thankyou Emma :)

Looks like there are a few of us looking to lose 2st for xmas ;) Good Luck to us all!!!!

Hi Starlight :) I didn't have a muffin,lol, i was quite good that way ;) The Latte was just a standard LARG Latte as far as i know as that was what i asked for and she didn't give me any options?

Today i had a LARG Latte :( while out in town with hubby while our son was at his Drama class. As a result, i think i have gone well over my points today as Muffin Break isn't in the Eating Out Guide, but by looking at other coffee places i'm guessing it would come in at 7pts... anyone know...

Bren!!!! :) All the very best with Cambridge ;) I'm now doing WeightWatchers! I just couldn't, no matter how many times i tried, get into Cambridge again :( It will be interesting to see how you get on :)

Hi jennikay :) No other replies on this one,lol! I restarted back at WW yesterday and i also started the Adios MAX yesterday aswell. I haven't felt hungry and i'm wondering if that's down to these pills...? We'll see how the next few days go!

Hello.....? Jools...? Donna... ? I hope you guys are ok! *hugs* :)

Well done tizzy at getting into the 15s!!!!! :) Good luck to your daughter Leanne and a BIG well done on her weightloss so far AND for getting to day 3! ;)With you by her side, i know she's going to do great! Thanks for thinking of me tizzy :) Did you get my private message? I'm not sure...

Are you not using this thread now tizzy? :)

Thankyou tizzy, your words meant alot, and made alot of sense! I went to WW yesterday and i'm on day 2 of being 100% good with no overeating!!! :) I'm on 21 points and i'm briskly walking 2miles every day on my treadmill. I've reopened my first ever WW thread in the "Food Diary" forum if...

Good luck missy!! :)

I'd love to join :) My aim is to be as close to 12st by xmas day as i can. I've worked it out that if i lose 2lbs a week i should be close ;) Started yesterday back on WW so next Wed will be my first weigh in! Let's goooooo!!!!! :)

Day 2 - Sandwich - bread - 3 mayo - 1 lettuce - 0 wafer thin ham - 0.5 chilli sauce - 1 Banana - 1 Light Choices meal (Cottage Pie) - 5.5 Apple - 0.5 Sandwich - bread - 3 mayo - 1 lettuce - 0 wafer thin ham - 0.5 cucumber - 0 chilli sauce - 1 3 slices of WW Fruit Loaf - 3 *21* pts :)

Just briskly walked 2miles on the treadmill which took 30mins - is that good? lol! :) I bought the WW POINTS Pedometer today at the meeting, but i haven't had a chance to look at it properly. If i can lose 2lbs a week between now and xmas day, i will be 12st or just over which is what i'm...

Day 1 - Slimfast Smoothie - 3 Banana - 1 sandwich - 2 slices of Hovis seed sensations rich and roasted - 3 with.. 15g of Hellmann's light mayo - 1 shredded lettuce, shredded carrot - 0 30g of Thai Sweet Chilli Dipping Sauce - 1 sliced onion - 0 20g of Bernard Mathews wafer thin ham - 0.5...

I went to the meeting this morning and i really enjoyed it :) The leader is fantastic and i was able to have a chat with her after the meeting which was good! I weighed in at 14/3 :( :( :( I suppose i could look at it like this - my last weigh in on this thread is 14/6 so i've lost...

Looking forward to tomorrow at my NEW WeightWatchers meeting. I hope the leader is nice.. I'm going to try and talk to her after the meeting and see if she can maybe help me feel more positive instead of this negative feeling i have that won't go away. Almost like, i know i'm going to fail so...

Aww tizzy thankyou :) I'm realising there is more to my struggle than just me trying to control my food intake. I'm actually feeling very low and in need of a break... I don't want to go into detail here but, i'm basically spreading myself too thin with people around me, especially my mum...

The scales i have are called "Salter" and they weigh me and my friends the same as the WeightWatcher ones at meetings :) I got mine in asda at around £15.

Thinking about going to ANOTHER WW meeting on Wed morning. I'm failing here at every turn! One minute i'm doing Cambridge and the next WW but one sure thing is, my weight is going up instead of down!! I've never stayed for a meeting and i'm thinking of staying on Wed. Maybe it will help me...

I didn't like it at all! :(

Just picked up a box of WeightWatchers 9 Mini Chocolate Cupcakes at 1.5pts each!!! :) Haven't tried them yet!

Thankyou Porgeous :) Maybe this thread will bring me luck! ;) You look lovely, as always :)

Hi everyone :) Please join me on my first thread "ReStarting Cambridge on Monday 8th Sep! :)" I'm going to give Cambridge one last go! I've just read through my old thread and i can hardly believe that was meeeee!?! How did i do it??? Anyway, i thought if i bring that thread back to...

Wow! I'm reading over this and i can hardly believe it's MEEEEE!! I was 13/13 this morning on the scales :( I'm going to try again....

I'm back doing WW again and picked up the "Adios MAX" today and thought i'd give it a go. Just wondered if anyone else has used it? I'm going to start using it as of tomorrow morning. :)

Good Luck :)

WELL DONE on your first stone off :) and have a fab holiday! ;)

rofusdoofus!!! a MASSIVE WELL DONE to you so far!! :) That's nearly a stone girl! woo!hoo! You'll look great for going back to Uni;)

Anyone tried the Kellogg's Special K "Bliss mint chocolate" bar at only 1.5pts? They are YUMMY!!!!!!! £2.19 a box in Tesco and in Morrisons - not sure about anywhere else :) I have 3 boxs,lol! ;)

I've decided to go back to WW again.... I'm not going to classes, as my scales give the same result as the WW ones. My friend weighed on mine before going to WW this morning and she was the same weight on the WW scales when she got there :) Thursday past i was 14/1 :( so my weigh day is a...

Hi tizzy :) I did a blog and it really helped me alot. Even now i look back over it and i can see how determined i was and i think WHY CAN'T I DOIT NOW?!! :( I guess it's all to do with where you are emotionally and mentally, as with any diet i guess, but we all know Cambridge is a hard one to...

Didn't like the porridge at all :( but i do like the strawberry tetra :)

The porridge didn't do it for me :( Tasted awful!!!! I swapped them for the strawberry tetras today which i do like :)

Aww thanks rufusdoofus!!!!!!!! :) Your gonna to see me back at WW sooner than ya think! ;)

Well done tizzy so far :) Good idea the picture! I've tried it but it still didn't stop me, lol, :( So, (Feathers rubs her hands together!) there could be a second chance here in the past relationship front? ;) It's true, like the Reba song goes "The Heart Won't Lie" Doesn't matter where...

Tizzy WELL DONE ! Your doing great and your into week 2!!! At last i found your thread,lol! I can keep an eye on you now,hehe! ;)

You make me laugh tiz :) I think it's the way you word things! You REALLY have had it from, i mean, tried it from,lol, all angles,lol! The oldest guy i went out with was 12yrs older! No2 contacted you!! WOW! He probably got the vibes that you were talking about him :) Do you think he might...

MY PORRIDGE IS HERE!!! YIPPEE!! ;)

I woke up all excited about today only to get to my CDCs house to be told the porridge hadn't been delivered when it should have been :( It was supposed to be there ytday and then they promised to deliver before 9am this morning but it wasn't there by the time i got there at 9.25am! My CDC is...

Thanks MsJMC :) I'm going to retry tomorrow again after seeing my CDC and trying out the porridge. Whether i like the porridge or not, i'm going to start with 3 packs a day till i feel ready to drop to 3 :) Did you ever use 4 a day?

Jools? I don't want this thread to go into the 2nd page,lol! Any idea how Donna's doing? :(

Hey BREN :) Thanks for that info! How's it going? I love the SlimFast Smoothies and i know what your saying about the carbs in them :( I'm still trying to get back on Cambridge but i'm hoping tomorrow after i've tasted the NEW Cambridge porridge that's just out, that it will kick start me...

I didn't realise there was ever another name for Cambridge,lol! I'll bet there won't be alot of people on here that know that :) How long ago did you first do Cambridge then? I thought it came out in the 70s? You did ever so well each time you did this diet though :) and this time will be no...

Hi abz :) I did s/s before and lasted 9wks - i KNOW i can do it again! :mad: I'm NOT giving up! :D I hear what your saying about moving up the plan also. I was actually thinking that tomorrow i might take 4 Tetras/porridge instead of 3 just till i get started. Once i'm past day 1 or maybe 2...

Hi there :) For my 5ft 1inch height (and weigh 13/11) i am on 3 Tetras a day but i am struggling to get past day one. I was considering taking a 4th Tetra and wondered if that would effect me going into Ketosis in any way? Last night i lasted till 6.15pm. My retrys seem to be getting longer...

I've woke up this morning with no energy. I've had 2 slice of toast with butter and a coffee which has made me feel slightly better. Truthfully, tomorrow i'm really hoping that i'll like/love the porridge sooo much that it will help me stay on track.... I was actually thinking about taking an...

I'm REALLY struggling to get back on Cambridge and i'm REALLY hoping like so many of you on here, that i like it, as this could be just what i need to get me started!! Yesterday i lasted till 6.15pm so my retrys are getting longer which is great,lol, but this porridge will make sure i get...

Ok, well, i got to 6.15pm tonight and started to eat :( I'm ok about this, as my retrys seem to be lasting longer each time,lol! Tomorrow i'm going to try and last till 7pm!! Slowly i'm weaning myself off food and back on the Tetras.... i think!

Hi Tracey :) Day 7 and 7lbs down? Fab!!! Well done Tracey :) What are you taking? I can only take the Tetras! Will you be getting the porridge? :) Your after photos are going to be great, BECAUSE, you'll be smiling because of the weight loss and how hard you worked! :) How did you lose the...

Ta abz :) I didn't have time to get my eyebrows done or dye my hair :( Didn't even get round to buying the hair dye! lol! I've made a hair app for Wed at 11.15am "after", of course, having my porridge for breakie! ;) lol! Hopefully tomorrow i should be able to get my eyebrows done though :)

Feeling really good this morning (after a not so good day yesterday when i kinda over ate) :( but, that's all behind me now :) Today is the 1st Sep and today i officially start afresh (again,lol!) The difference this time is, i will succeed!!!!!! I've updated my ticker with the weight i...

lol! aw thanks abz :) Roll on the porridge!!!! ;)

Well guys, i made it till 5pm when i was sitting listening to my son eat his way through his popcorn!! Couldn't resist BUT, that was it!! I didn't eat anything else :) Since Friday i've actually lost 4lbs which i find unbelieveable as the past 2 days i've had 2 Tetras, 4pts of water and food...

By the way, this is happening on Wed morning between -9-9.30am so i'll be right back to let you know what i think! :)

Managed to get hold of my CDC this morning :) she's going to let me try the porridge at her place before i buy, AND, she's also going to give me one of her Strawberry Tetra samples to try ;) I AM SOOO EXCITED NOW!!! even more i mean,pmsl! :)

I've had 2 Tetras and 3pts of water so far today :) I'm really looking forward to going to the movies tonight with my son! Well, i say tonight but we'll be leaving flat 4pm in the afternoon! The things we do, so not to eat,lol!! :) Also!!!!!! I managed to get hold of my CDC this morning and...

Thanks Lyn :) It all sounds a bit over the top i know, but honestly, if i don't do something i KNOW, i'll do what i did last night,lol! I just need to get past Day 1!! How's it going with you?

Hey abz! Have you lost about 3st since June?? :)

Thanks abz :) so far so good! ;)

I did so well up until 4.30pm when it all went horribly wrong!! I'm not beating myself up over it and i don't care how many Tetras i waste trying to get back on track! Tomorrow is another new day and fresh start for me, and i will TRY, and keep trying, EVERY, day till i get past Day 1!! :)...

Thankyou Big Bird :) Thankyou so so much!! I need to hear what you've just said right now and my next message will explain...

Tracey i spelt your name wrong :( I am SO sorry!! :( Please forgive me? lol!

Tracy, thankyou :) I must have a look through those pics! Well done so far to you!!!!! What i'd give to wake up one morning and say "I've done and dusted Day 1!" :) Keep strong! ;)

Thankyou becky for your support :) means so much to know there are people out there who do actually care xx

Thanks minime :) How are you doing? I signed up for Icemooses weekly newsletters at the weekend ta! Looking forward to his first one :) That's me just finished my 3rd pint of water and my second Tetra as a hot choc! Still trying to get hold of my CDC so i've left a message asking when...

Been trying to get hold of my CDC all day but no luck so i've left a very excited voice mail for her asking when she'll have it in!! pmsl! :) I'm even more excited now knowing that we can have it all day unlike the bars!!!!!!

Just updated my ticker ... 5st to lose!

That's it! It is the small things that can make every difference on this diet as it's so tough! Your doing great though and this porridge is going to make all the difference to many of us :) Here i am on Day 1 weighing 14st!!! I also lost 15lbs in my first 2wks so i'm silently hoping to be...

:) thanks Sue! I just met you on the "Porridge thread",lol, and i'm still chuckling away :) Yeah, i'm still going to try and get started tomorrow on the diet but i'm honestly thinking,... that knowing i can try the Porridge and hopefully like it,... it will be easier this time to get...

Ha!Ha!Ha!Ha! Sue :) You made me laugh,lol! Still laughing in fact!!!!!!! I think i'm like you right now, sooo excited!! x

Aww Jools ((hugs)) In a strange way it's kinda nice to know there are people out there who do admit to feeling this way and doing as i do. It's not nice for any of us but at least we don't feel totally alone :) I'm feeling more positive after finding out about the Porridge!!!! We can eat...

Thanks for letting me know Linda :) Can't wait!!!!!! ;)

Linda! THANKYOU! THANKYOU! :) You have also just made MY night! :) I'm yet again going to try and get back on Cambridge tomorrow after weeks and weeks of trying and failing, but, now that you've told me about the Porridge (i have Porridge every morning!!) you may have just made my come back...

Before i start, please understand that i am not doing this to get feedback, although, any and all feedback will be welcome :) This is more for me to put down how i am feeling about food and how it is effecting me emotionally. I know i could do all this in a Diary i could keep at home but...

Hi there :) I'm looking through the S/F thread but don't seem to see anyone actually on S/F and weighing on a weekly basis like SlimmingWorld, WeightWatchers, Cambridge, LighterLife etc!:confused: If there is anyone out there who is doing S/F and is weighing regularly, i am sorry i missed...

I was in asda this morning but i couldn't find the 98% fat free ones.... only the low fat ones :( Is this the ones you mean Starlight? I quite fancy the cheese and ham although i don't think their the low fat ones,lol!

Hi Kat, I totally know where your coming from! I did Cambridge at the start of the year (4th Jan) and weighed 15/13. I only lasted 2wks but lost 15lbs. I came off it and tried to do WW, SlimFast,low carb etc etc but when i decided to go back to Cambridge in April i weighed 15/4.5. I picked...

No its not Starlight :( oops!

Thankyou 911toc :) The ones i have are in a packet?...

The one i have in front of me is the "mild curry" flavour. Per half pack serving - When using my points calculator, do i put in 261kcals and 6.0sat fat? (which makes it 5pts for the half and 10pts for the full 100g)) Or...:sigh: per 100g AS IT IS SERVED 175kcals and 4.0sat fat? (which makes...

Hi Bren :) Can i ask which protein shakes your taking? Always interested in something new me,lol! Good luck with it!
