Red red red! Will look fab with your colouring. Not a horrendous day considering you're doing. I have better losses when I eat more on up days as long as I don't go ridiculous! Seems like it shakes things up xxx

Hey Carrie, hope you're ok. I am sure you'll get the pounds off double quick now you're exercising properly. You sound really positive and motivated and I think getting your head in the game is the key part so you'll be all over it! Xx Sent from my GT-I9505 using MiniMins.com mobile app

It seems to be the case with me. I go into deniel when I am not weighing. Wish I was one of those people who ignores the scales and the pounds drop off! Just went out for lunch and went to a different salad place.... V disappointing salad - hate it when u make a bad choice on an up day...

Good work!!! That's one thing I'm not sure about with fasting as obviously want to push myself hard training but think I get more tired than normal on fast days xx

Hey there I exercise quite a bit too but don't eat my calories back. I think you still have to keep them low unfortunately and not taken what you've burnt off into consideration. I don't tend to worry if I have the odd higher up day though. I think if you feel light headed etc then you should...

Thanks ladies really pleased!! So went for quite a long bike ride yesterday which was pretty miserable as it rained the whole time!!! Not weighing today as it was pretty carb heavy and know I always bounce up. Another up today but going to keep it normal even though its 7.30 and my stomach is...

Hey lexie, bodies are so weird. I think it's v unlikely you'd lose weight in a linear way whatever diet you do - there's always ups and downs unfortunately. I think the key is to keep plodding. It's obviously working as you've lost so much already. Don't let a slight gain throw you off. Also...

Weighing in a day early and I'm two down which I'm really happy with as found yesterday tough. Got loads of stuff planned next week so can't do more than two fasts unless I do a ddd and I know I'd never manage it! Might play around this week with the whole eating window thing and see if that...

Hey carrie I've literally read your whole diary today. Amazing - so inspiring. You look absolutely stunning and should be so proud.. I'm on my second day of fasting (up day today) and wanted to say thank you for giving so much inspiration. I'm trying to combine it with clean food too and you've...

Hey goldie. Thanks for checking in! Well I am on day 14 and don't get me wrong, I've had my temptations but it's actually been ok and if I make the effort with cooking, the meals are gorgeous! I am actually going skiing tomorrow so won't be able to finish which I'm quite gutted about but we're...

Haha yes I'm missing cheese already!

Hey moonwatcher Thanks v much for the welcome! It's basically a strict version of Paleo which you follow for 30 days and its meant to reset your relationship with food. Today is day three for me and you're meant to experience headaches and carb flu but so far so good! Have you been eating...

Hey everyone Am on day 3 of the whole 30 and was just wondering whether the no snacking rule gets easier and what time are people's meals typically? I have breakfast at 9 when I get into work and lunch at 1 and dinner usually around 7.30 so I find the afternoon a long stretch! Any other...

Well done mrs, that's fab! Have fun with you sister too. I'm awake with awful period pains :(

Thanks Kim. It was your approach to weighing monthly that inspired me to just get on with things for a while! X

Ooh ok will give it a try in that case.... I actually haven't weighed recently. I was 10.3 when I got back from holiday but have been out off weighing weekly as either way it sends me off the rails! I know I need to lose as I can barely do up my super skinny jeans so that's enough motivation at...

Is the oz biggest loser any good Kim? I've recorded a few but haven't started watching it

Hi Kim, yup I'm in if you don't mind adding me.....! Start weight is 10 stone 3 and first goal is 9 7 by the beginning of August. Need a kick up the bum. I'm struggling! Had pizza at work today ... xx

Well done deb!!!

Well done on the loss nikki and good news on the interviews Donna. I think interviews are mainly about practice really. Hope you're feeling more awake Kim! I've worked from home today which I find really hard as get too distracted but actually got a lot done and also managed to blitz my...

Hope you're feeling better Donna. For what it's worth, I never got on with the pill. I tried lots of different ones but always felt emotional. I tried the coil and felt much better in myself and its got much lower hormone levels than the pill so do think it's worth looking into as its so low...

Well done that's a great loss

Gorgeous... and you're teeny!!

Love your earrings and one shoulder top. So pretty

Donna, I found it really hard to do sw when I was marathon training as you need gels and things but do what's best for you. You know the principles now so u don't see why a break from group would do you any harm

It doesn't sound accurate if you've eaten. Are they different scales to normal too?x

Ah I do feel for you hun - my best friend has been having loads of trouble but I think from what she has said that the main thing is that you're ovulating... I would brave the docs though xx

Hi I'm Emma, I've just got married and am actually on honeymoon but am keeping up on the gossip... I'm 31 and got down to nine two pre wedding but think I'm nearer ten stone after two weeks of enjoying all inclusive!!

Have an amazing time Kim... Will update u on my weight on Sunday if that's ok Great you're feeling so positive Donna. Sounds like you've got a good balance and you're running Will burn lots of calories too x

I hardly think you're lazy Kim... you're always doing something injury permitting and you never use it as an excuse for letting things slide

Love it.... Although am sooooo scared of weighing!!!

I'm up for a challenged..... good on this honeymoon is out of this world but I'm going to have out on so much weight. Am actually scared of getting on the scales again :eek: will post a picture of lunch yesterday....

Yeah I guess it's personal.... the lady at reception called me by my married name today and I did like it so maybe I should just go with it.... Glad the surgery went well Debbie. Must be fab not to need lenses or specs

I've just been looking about changing mine. Can't decide what to do. Won't do my passport though - waste of money! In my honeymoon now... weather is amazing and food is it of this world although am going to pay for it when I get home!! Do you ladies feel weird about changing your name??

That cake looks amazing! Well done... sounds like a lovely day for your daughter

Ah thanks ladies. Really kind of you. I was a bit worried whether the dresses would work ok as bought them separately xx

This is me and my bridesmaids....they had different dresses as my sis in law is seven months pregnant with twins!! Xx

Thank you guys. We had such a great day. Te weather was fantastic too xx

That's sorry not story!!

Hi girls, I'm really story but I'm really rubbish at catching up but here's a photo for you from Saturday xx

Hi everyone thanks for all your messages - really kind. Wedding is tomorrow. Just setting the marquee up now and it looks fab. Vicky you look amazing! Hope you had a great day. Xxx

Good luck for tomorrow vicky!! Am sure it will be amazing and try not to stress although I know it's easy to say - I'm feeling a bit freaked out already!!! Hope u can sort the cake anyway xx

Congrats nikki she is absolutely gorgeous xx

Ah ok thanks v much!! Honestly, I'm finding it really hard to use. I'm still using my iPhone as my contract overlaps... Thanks for your help though. How's your wedding plans going? Can't believe the difference in your dress! Amazing!! I pick mine up tomorrow - am a bit nervous x

Hey vicky I need your help! I've got a new galaxy phone and no idea how to use it as I used to be an iPhone girl. Anyway, I bought the hypnosis thing u recommended but it doesn't seem to be downloaded. I can only listen to it when I've got wifi - is that right?? Xx

Hi everyone Ive just got a new phone and trying to work it out!! Well done on the loss Donna that's amazing :):)

Morning everyone! Hope you're all ok Fingers crossed baby comes soon nikki Hope you have fun bridesmaid shopping too vicky! I'm in a grump - I'm on my way to the airport as going to the US with work so missing the bank holiday. It's such a lovely day and ill be on an eight hour flight ;( I...

Well done Kim! Enjoy today xxx

Hey girls, sorry I can't multi quote! Planning is ok - had hen no1 in Istanbul on the weekend so not good on the weight loss front ;) All ok really apart from that but getting nervous!! Long story but we also had a massive bust up with bens dad over the seating! How r u getting on Vicki...

Happy birthday for tomorrow Kim. Your arm sounds sore so I hope it's ok! Hopefully it will improve a bit by Saturday anyway

Well done Kim!!

Wow Kim the change is amazing! Well done you x

Well done Donna :)

That's amazing we'll done vicky!! Especially with your bad shoulder xx

Hey Donna, Thanks for the message - ill just keep going I guess. Hope u had a good run - its a gorgeous day. I wouldn't worry about being over a few syns today - u need your gel running that far xx

Hey is 6 weeks today... Am only losing about 0.5-1 lb a week so think it will be a struggle

Weighed in this morning at 9 stone 4.5.... Haven't seen that weight in ages but I swear it's sooooo slow getting it off. Would love to be under 9 for my wedding (I'll take 8.13.8 ;)) but not sure that will happen as going away with the girls next weekend! How's everyone doing? X

Morning everyone. Glad you're feeling positive deb and sure you'll get that gain off in no time! Doesn't seem bad at all. Hope everything else is ok for u. Good news on the shoulder vicky. Have you still got a dressing on it? I was tempted to weigh this morning but (tmi alret) haven't been...

Sorry u are having such a tough time. I wouldn't feel bad about not exercising - it's eating junk that causes the real damage. Go easy on yourself - u shouldn't feel bad when you've got enough on your plate. I wouldn't weigh to be honest. You don't want to be disappointed and feel worse x

Omg I love that dress - gorgeous and what a bargain!! Your shoes are stunning too x

I'm impressed you're all sorted. Am still getting last minute things delivered. Can't decide on shoes for my bridesmaids either - they're all so different in height and shape its been a nightmare getting dresses so they're all wearing different ones!! X

Sounds like its definitely working for u. I'm sure you'll get there too - especially once u can exercise regularly. And it finally looks like the weather is looking up so that will be better too Wow - in a stadium! How funny that we nearly had it on the same day!! Sounds like the right...

And us all getting to target obviously - although you're officially already there Kim!

1 June - 7 weeks on Saturday. What about u? X

Ha ha i know!! Only one proper one really though. Bit worried an how my dress will lit at the end of it all

I am being v greedy and kind of have three! One of my good friends can't make my proper hen as she has a wedding so she is taking me for cocktails on Saturday night but am not really thinking of it as a proper hen, then in two weeks I am going abroad with my four really close friends for proper...

Oooh fab that sounds really fun! You'll have a blast

Oooh same as me then! Are u excited?? Do u know what you're doing? Yeah, think you're right - don't want to set myself up for a fail and chocolate binge ;)

Hey ladies Hope your shoulder gets better soon vicki. How long is it til your hen now? I've got my first one in two weeks!! Well done on the run Donna - good for u for doing it when you're not feeling your best! I am feeling like I've lost weight but am too scared to weigh in case I haven't...

Was your dinner nice?? Sounds yum :)

Hey there - just wanted to say hi as I get married on 1 June and looks like we're similar weights! Am sure your gain will come off extra quick as it will be mainly water. That happened to me a couple of months ago though and I had a right meltdown so don't let it get to u!!

Morning ladies! Nikki - I really wouldn't worry - its bound to be water and baby and I would think at this stage you should just try and enjoy your pregnancy - be healthy but don't worry about the scales! They can be misleading at the best of times - let alone when you're carrying a little...

Hi deb, your oh sounds exactly like mine!! It's so frustrating isn't it. He's able to eat all sorts and still lose! Mine isn't made keen on breakfast either but has started eating nuts and also bought some protein powder so has that too. I did nearly cry the other night watching him demolish a...

That's excellent! Amazing :)

That's a real shame Kim - at least you've got your big party though! How long to go? I can recommend hong kong - amazing place and so many cool things to do :)

Hey Kim! I'm good thanks. Haven't done much travelling this year which is a relief with the wedding! Weight is good.... I'm around 9.7 - would love to get to 9 stone or under for the wedding. I've got nine weeks and its coming off so slowly so not sure it will happen! You're right / it is a...

I've just checked and its called making the cut. It has a diet in there too but I just did the exercises. They are all circuit based and i could definitely feel it!

Hey everyone! Haven't been on in ages but wanted to say hi! Lots to catch up on so really sorry that I've missed things. Kim - well done on calling target and still losing - that's amazing! Vic - it's really stressful isn't it! I'm getting married around the same time I think and have exactly...

Ah thank u! Very excited but a bit scared! I would post a picture of my ring as I absolutely love it but got no idea how to post pictures... How are u doing anyway?

Fab!!! We can do it :)

Hey girls, haven't been on in ages but just wanted to pop in and say hi. Looks like you're all super motivated again! V glad to hear. I am bumping along at 9.8 - really want to get below but seem to have a mental block more than anything and go off the rails! In non-diet news - I'm engaged! V...

Hey good to see u back! Did u have a good hols? I'm in turkey at the moment and loving being away but also worrying about putting weight on - how daft is that?!?

Well done Kim! That's a fab loss xx

Checking in from turkey to say fan bloody tastic. Well done u xx

To be honest, I've been trying more to eat healthily (which obviously includes a lt of sw principles) but I've also been exercising a lot and although the first couple of weeks were really slow it now seems to have come off really quickly. I think i definitely need to stick with thing more as...

Hey ladies, sorry I've not popped in for a while. Been mad busy unfortunately! Day before I go on hols today and just weighed in at nine stone 8! Very happy - just short of my mini target of nine 7 but after the jubilee weekend I can't complain! Think I'll have to join your 100% challenge when...

Ha ha I like that!

Let me know how u go. I was so sceptical when she told me but honestly feel so much better. I used to feel really uncomfortable yet hungry if that makes sense?! X

Yes I went to the gp first and they thought it was a wheat allergy so I cut that out first but was still v bloated so saw a dietician my friend recommended - she was really excellent and told me to try cutting down on fruit and only eat it either before meals, not mix it unless its berries and...

Hey hey, I've been lurking but not good at posting as works been crazy busy. I'm also not strictly on plan but more eating healthily and the weight is coming off. Had to have some allergy tests as have been having a funny stomach for months now. Anyway, turns out I'm allergic to wheat and the...

Hey just popping in to say v well done Kim! That's a fantastic result and good your plateau is over xx
