I have just bought Tesco Ultra Slim shakes at 2 a day at 200 ish calories plus 250 mls of skimmed milk. Anyone used them? Raspberry was quite pleasant this a.m. Am pondering dinner at the moment.

Help! My appetite has been getting the better of me for the last 5 years or so. I lost some wight with ww but not enough. I have bought Tesco Ultra slim shakes and am on the first day. These are mixed up with 250mls skimmed milk for 2 meals a day. I am supposed to have one proper meal which...

Right! I have not been on here for some time nor done the shred since last February!! Day nearly killed me but I soon got into it and was amazed how fast I got fitter!! Going to start again tomorow. What I really like is that it is is over and done with so quickly but still has fab results...

Good luck Rorah and Topper. OOh for the 11's....Bev x

Oh no! Have put on 1/2 lb. First gain. Have had horrid virus and guess have had too much cough mix and a little more food. Plus no exercise. Going out power walking shortly. Good luck all......Bev x

I love this thread! What I hoard apart from food is clothes. I have so many different sizes it is ridiculous!! I don't imagine I will ever be a size 10 again at my age. Size 12 maybe. Size 14 probably. The rest can go to charity shops as soon as I carry on losing. Hopefully!!

I am in shock as have lost 2 lbs! Having been stuck for so long on and off going back to good old calories counting and just curbing my eating and wow!! Hit the supermarket this a.m. for loads of goodies, fruits and salads and oooh lovely low fat stuff! Funny how losing 2 lbs can give such a...

OOOh, so true Foxy! LOL. Specially when they do the multi packs of things. I once had so many tins of toms and baked beans I couldn't find enough space to store them....wish I could get an addiction to not eating too much!!

I am so fed up with being in the 12's. I just can't seem to get myself in the mood to shift it. I know I can if I really want to but the motivation is just not there for long enough. I get away with it to some extent as I am tall and rangy but it's all round the middle. And, I have a fat...

I do it too. Trouble is I don't always use it up. I think for me it is a comfort thing! If I feel stressed or depressed I buy loads of tins and packets. They stay there all lined up and ready. For what? I can't eat them all! Crazy huh?

I was like that. I know I shouldn't say this but....have you tried the Dukan attack. It has changed my eating habits. If you have protein for brekky you will not feel so hungry. In fact on Dukan I never felt hungry and could not eat enough! That's a first!! I must say I do not see it for...

Stuck at 12 st 7 lbs for ages and ages. Went up, came down. Stuck. Now have broken through to 12st 5 lbs. Relief! Feel am on a roll here. Fingers crossed. It can be done!!

Just had my first galette and firmly recommend it. delish! Good luck. Just gotta find a way to get the oat bran down in the best possible way!!

Have just had my first galette and loved it!! Why did I not try it before? I am now stuffed but already planning lunch. PV day so mixed salad, followed by chicken and a slice of ham and after an ff yog. Dinner will be my very own kebabs with green veggies. FF yog to follow. Yum. :)

I am most def going to make own pizza. Brilliant, why didn't I think of that?!!!

Morning everyone After much thought am going to adjust target to 154 lbs. Looking back it has been many years since I was 146. How time flies. I know at 154 I will be pretty neat sized as big boned 5' 7"! So now on target for a 19 lb loss, I hope!! If on getting back to that I want to go a...

Will do thanks. Yes, will be careful. Am a verteran of many years keeping weight steady but the last 5 have been a nightmare of weight gain slowly but surely. So guess Monday is weigh in? Great and thanks for having me on board. In celebration am going to do a workout. :)

I really do not expect to lose it all in 12 weeks but who knows! Am really going for it. Started at begining of June but messed up on cruise first time so have been back on attack. When we have finished cruise stage (reached the weight we want to be) we then go on to consolidation where we...

If it helps your enthusiasm I lost 5 lbs in 5 days on attack. Went on cruise but messed up with naughty things! Back on attack now and lost 1 lb yesterday and hopefully another before back to cruise. You really need to stick to this like glue. You should not feel hungy either. Just...

Hey can I join in even if I am not SW? I am doing OK but would love a 12 week target with you guys. Dukan have said October to me for my finish date (loss).....Err, is that Ok with you guys? Bev (yes me too)

Hey Didi Best of luck from me and much love. I am so sure everything will be alright. Bev x and hugs

Hi, you really need the book! PP is a protein day and PV is protein and veg/salad. That is in the cruise phase where you do 1 day on 1 day on or five days each although I am sure most on here would advise 1/1 which is what I do. Attack is the first phase which lasts as many days as you have...

Hi Sharon I stalled in cruised but then I did cheat so it waas my own fault! I think it is quite normal to stall though. After the euphoria of attack it seems we have to be patient! I have just started attack again yesterday and have lost 1 lb. :)

Hi Kathy Good luck with attack. I have just started it again as floundered on cruise by going astray. Origninally lost 5 lbs in 5 days, then got stuck a lot but lost 1lb. first day of attack again yesterday and have lost 1 lb! Like you I thought I would miss the fruit veg, which I love, but...

Yippee!!!!!!! 1st day back on attack (again) and have lost 1 lb!!!!! Am going to stick to this like glue now. No more relapses to hold me back. Just thrilled to bits. :):):)

Well done WKD! Sorry Christibel is going back to cc but hope we see you back and congrats on your loss!! However we do it we're on a winner! Am having a weigh in tomorrow. :eek:

I am def going to try new recipes and get some jelly. Really need to get out more too but car is broken down and there aren't many places to walk to. Unless you count Tesco as a fun place!!!

Must admit have had trouble getting all the food down. Will have to try harder. Seems crazy that we have to eat so much to lose weight! Not that I'm arguing though. certainly beats being hungry!!

Wow, you are going great guns! You must be so chuffed!! Well done on sticking to it. I know it's not easy at first. You must feel dead proud. Woopee for you....

Good luck on your journey! I am forever, well it seems like forever, trying to shift my excess of about 28 lbs. I keep reading posts on this forum for inspiration!

Hi Sarah Really feel for you re the negatives. I have had this before in my life and am also confronted with it on another forum. At least on here people seem mainly supportive. I am not doing your diet but have been following your progress and you are a fab inspiration that I need right now...

Ooh, I am going to get the Mullerlight toffee and the vanilla for a change! I am finding it soo hard to stick to the diet at times. Think I may need more variety as I just tend to buy the same things and cook the same things.

I am not a great carnivore myself! It's one thing that I found a bit tricky. I do love eggs though. I do have 1/2 pot of ff Greek yog with the whole lot of bran!! It takes some getting down but I really do like it! I suppose I should try turning it into something else but why knock a...

Good luck christibel I found it shifted 5lbs in not time! :)

Congrats Chris Fab weight loss! Looking back I think the side effect are worth it although I didn't think so at the time. Enjoy your cruise! :)

Hi all Am floundering a bit. Think Caledonia is right will try main meal at midday then snavk at night. Actually thought of reversing the yog and bran to evening? Worth a try. Had to buy medium size knickers and they are quite roomy!! Exercise is the key for me I think. That 30 day shred is a...

Caledonia, so well done on your progress despite the insomnia! It will be great to get to under the 200 mark - I know I love a milestone. Just the pur on we need. I have been a bit remiss and have not lost any more so shall have to tighten up and follow your example!! :)

Hey, what a fab loser you are!! LOL Am not gonna weigh until Monday as want a BIG surprise! I wish!! Can't get over the 3" loss off tummy/waist. It all merges into one at the moment. LOL Heres to more loss for me, you and the husband. Congrats to him on his loss too - we mustn't forget...

Am having trouble getting down the bran and enough food!! I like what I am eating but seem to lose capacity towards the end of the day and dinner becomes a problem. What to do???? Have been exercising and drinking lots of water (which I have always done anyway).

Thanks Caledonia, I do have confidence in it. Just got to be patient! 3" less round middle so far. Just measured this a.m. and was astounded.......:D:):D Perhaps I will have a waist again soon?????????

Must admit I am worried that people will not follow this properly. My mishap (and many physical nasties) was caused from ignorance when I first tried DD. This time I know better and it is going well. Fingers crossed not too many end up poorly!!

I am a true cheeseoholic - or was. I am right with you on this and you are doing so well! I have found giving up bread a great help - no cheese sarnies! I still sneak in the low fat stuff though....:confused:

Hi from Bev Well done on another 1/2 lb! Thanks so good for a first PV day. After my 1st attack I never did put any of it back on too. Sure does help for motivation!! Great going. I have managed to lose nothing on 1st new day of attack (messed up first day with fish fingers in the evening -...

1st day of attack over and have lost nothing so far. Messed up the first day! So, now this is second day. Had trouble yesterday eating enough. By the evening I just could not face the lovely piece of salmon so will have it today. I think it's the greek yog and bran that is so filling. :)

Wow Diamond, you are doing so well! Congrats on such a great loss. You're a massive inspiration. Was just feeling a bit down so it's good to read such good news!!

Just had a look on Dukan website and realise I should only do 2 days attack. Yet another mistake! Can't say I am upset about it though!!:D

Caledonia You asked me what made me give up on DD. I think you answered it yourself. I LONGED for pizza, one of my favourite foods too! Along with bottle of wine at the ready too! I also have found in the past fruit is one of my things. I am gonna grit my teeth and just think of consolidation...

Tryin So happy for you. Pat on the back for sure!:)

Brilliant. We grow our own rhubarb. Cannot say I am a fan but will eat it anyway!! Can honestly say I never felt hungry and had trouble stuffing enough food down! So far so good (again!).

I foolishly did not get the book and didn't know about the bran until it was too late and got bunged up totally and felt quite ill. I then overgrazed on fruit, plus prunes! Eventually got botty back to normal but it took quite a while. Good warning for those doing it. You must have your...

Hi, have just restared Dukan with an attack. Last time I shed 5 lbs in 5 days. Fell off the wagon on cruise and what a pity I didn't get back on as was going great guns. Never mind I say!! We seem to have the same weight to lose and started at the same weight so it would be good to both...

OK back on Dukan with a vengeance. have been thinking and still do not eat bread, pots etc. Must do it properly this time too. It worked before so It will work again. Will do 5 day attack as before. :) FF yog and bran for b/fast.

hi, I am starting attack for a couple of days. I did 5 days of attack at begining of June and lost 5 lbs. Went on to cruise but missed fruit so much didn't keep it up so have been really a bit stuck. Lost 1 lb in weeks. :cry: Sooo, back to attack and see how it goes. Have to admit I very...

I have to agree! When I was young I would panic if I put on 1 lb. I was manic about not eating at the time and ended up bullimic/anorexic. Crazy looking back. I would also fast for 2 days at a time. I became really ill in the end. it was the 1970's!! Everyone seemed to be thin and ill...

I am DESPARATE to get back in the 10's. Currently 12.5 but just to get into the 11's I would be back in 14's. I weigh quite heavy whatever size but it's all round the middle.....HELP!!

Hi Charm That sounds good idea! As long as I can keep my hands off his dishes!! Most definitely have to do something. Can do away with peanut butter and stuff that I don't like. Don't normally eat biscuits or cakes either. It's the savoury stuff I love. I am a carb bunny. I have some...

I would love to go to a boot camp but I too couldn't afford it. Saying that last Sunday here was just like a boot camp!! I really pushed to boat out but it's a case of keeping it up. I really need a personal trainer to shove me but can't afford one of those either!! Sounds like you are...

Good luck with the weight loss!! I am sure you'll do really well. This forum is so great for support. Thanks for all the good lucks and welcomes too. :) :) :)

Am cooking a huge shepherds pie for tonight. Lots of buttery potatos on top and cheese. If he doesn't have a good two helpings I'll be amazed. Really push the boat out with herbs etc. I have to tease his tastebuds to get him to eat enough. Trouble is shepherds pie is one of my favourite...

There is no underlying cause for his low weight. Those bars sound like a good idea! Yes, he would probably eat them. Problem is he wanders off to allotment etc and forgets to eat!! How can anyone forget to eat. I spend a lot of my life trying to forget!! I'll get some and stash them in...

Thanks Saz Have tried that in the past but it reminds him of his mother! She was so lovely and sadly died some years ago. I am finding it hard and have done for many years as he needs to keep the fat content down but build up the weight. He had a heart attack 3 years ago due to furred up...

Husband has lost weight again. Have had to go out and buy peanut butter, bacon, olives, fruit cake etc. All to tempt him to eat more. Quite exasperating!! He loses weight so rapidly if I don't watch him. He is now just over 9 stone again and he is (was!) nearly 6 foot. It is so hard to...

Yes yes yes Ermin!!!!! Hurrah for u!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks and c'mon Jez, you can do it!! have just tried a WW lasagne (£1.27) for lunch with some salad. NICE! Although I know I should cook fresh I was thinking that in the interim I may go for calorie controlled meals and just cook Husby his usual? I can still have my salads etc for lunch...

Shenzi Have a good rest! You must have burnt up so many calories doing a night shift anyway. I only did 1 night shift in my life and it nearly killed me so you have tons of my respect. Bev x

Hi Surf I was amazed too by how little I felt the after effects but I am adding a little extra as a caution plus I do like a good yoga type stretch! going for a power walk in a min and then going for the shred......:sigh:

I am sure someone is going to hate me for saying this but I do not believe convenience foods are cheaper than eating healthily! Example - 1 baked potato filled with cheese or baked beans and some salad and/or veg has to be cheaper than shop bought ready food. That is just an example. I just...

Hi all I am getting confused as to which 30 day shred I am on! Anyway. What I am doing is adding a 10 minute stretch to the shred and this gives muscles plenty of stretch time to recover. I just don't think there is enough stretch time on the dvd. anyone have any thoughts?

Thanks Lucysmommy It will be with some trepidation that I step on the scales tomorrow!! Have been on MFP and looks good. Need to get on for longer to get a grip!!

Hi Jez and thanks. I am just off for power walk - in for a penny in for a pound as they say. Or the loss of a few!! Great to see you have joined in the cc's.

This thread is lethal. Looked on here a bit earlier and was starving after! it all sounded so good. Had to have small snack of some cooked chicken. Kept control here!! Halo is gleaming! Tonight the rest of the chicken, mash with cheese in for husband, runner beans, and salad for me.

Wow Surfhunny Thanks for the pics - that is so inspiring I can't tell you! So well done you! I have much tummy fat to lose and pray shred works quickly on that. That has given me some oomph to do it again tomorrow - assuming I am able. :eek:

Wow! congrats. What have you been doing if I may be nosey - that is a fab result. I would love my skinny husband to stand back in amazement!!

Have just started shred again level 1. I'll have to count is as day 1 as I've had a gap. I managed to do it all (just!). Admit I followed Anita!! Feeling really good at the moment. Will see what tomorrow brings!

Thanks Squeezy! Have just done the shred level 1. Can still walk!! Power walk later. If this weight does not move with all this I shall cry. :cry: Of course I am really confident that Legomom and I will storm away with the weight loss!!!! :clap:

Hell! Have just done level 1 shred. The woman is a lunatic but I did enjoy it! Just resting, then lunch, then power walk. May pop into RC video tv channel and do some of the (easier!) offerings on there to top the the time as have calulated I need to do almost 1 1/2 hours a day to catch...

Right Trim Shenzi and I are gonna get going again today. Aren't we shenzi?!! Going to take a nice power walk. And do that dvd shred. Hope to still be able to walk tomorrow!! :patback:

Hi Legomom, and thanks, and good luck too! Excited in anticipation!! Good thinking on the Monday weigh in and keeping on the straight and narrow. Bev :)

Samalama Thanks for that. I guess it will focus me and Lord knows I need it. Am loving good old cc and di so well yesterday and day before. It's so nice not to feel stuffed to the eyballs with food! Weighing in tomorrow. :sigh:

Not doing too well here. so don't know how I will catch up. Will work it out when fully awake! :cry:

It always worked for me before. I have woodburning stove. If I don't put enough logs on to keep it going then it dies down and will eventually go out!! stands to reason - not enough fuel and - hey presto :cool:

This is something that is bothering me. Bottom of my stomach is quite saggy. Did read about a new cream which can take cms off bingo wings. Naturally it was expensive and I can't remember the name of it anyway! I have found if I keep doing tummy exercises it is lifting, but will it tone...

Do hope you enjoy this forum. I love it - I need it! It's giving me so much determination. Bev :D

Bowl of mixed salad with a small piece of grilled pork chop diced in drizzled with a little extra virgin olive oil. Yummie.

HI jez Lovely to see you. Dinner not sorted yet. Pork chop and salad and veg with pots for hubs. FF yog for pud with fruit. This forum has given me such a boost to determination!! :)

Have a gret evening! You well deserve it!! Of course I am not really envious. Much!! Bev :cry:

Hi all, I have done a ticker but can't work out how to transfer it? Am I being dumb? doubtless the answer is yes!

Naz I love that dress. So fab! Sarah It would be great if it were less confusing as I am still having trouble finding my way around! Ashamed to say did dvd once and then not again. More commitmnet is needed!! You are a great inspiration so back at it!! :cool:

Thanks Legomom and feeling a little bit desparate! All those smaller clothes that need a lack of 28 lbs to get into. Arghh:cry:

Frantically reading for inspiration. Gotta get bit fat bottom and even bigger tummy into action and shift this excess. Have been stck for 3 weeks now!! Argh Back to CC - I really think I have gotta get a grip. :cool:

Have been reading through the calorie counting threads and have decided to do it! It always worked to control my weight in the past and after messing around with Dukan, GI etc. I am Stuck! So back to basics, energy in and energy out. Hope this does it! :cool:

Getting from 12 1/2 to 11 something is proving to be a nightmare! Where am I going wrong? I am firmly on the GI and am doing it all right. I am exercising but am firmly stuck!! So fed up with it! Maybe I should go beserk and eat all and whatever and then maybe I'd lose some weight...

Got bad tummy troubles with Dukan. The nausea etc and then lo and behold the constipation! It is simlar to Atkins and just did not suit me. Perhaps a different diet? I'm doing GI. :cool:

I couldn't cope with Dukan in the end. In fact I started to feel quite ill. I did 5 days of attack and did lose 5 lbs but like you I love my carbs. I have settled on GI as it encompases the foods I like. I do not, however have bread at all and have only had pasta once in weeks. I hate...

Think I may try the veg curry as am getting a little tired of the endless salads! Luckily we gow our own salad stuff and veg and fruits but still need to be inventive. Have cut out bread altogether and have only had some pasta once. Feel so much better and less bloated. :D

I need to keep reading the posts to keep motivated. Skirt was looser and falling down a bit in Tesco! Can't wait to bin it and the elastic waist track bottoms I live in!!

Yes please Count me in. Daughter is coming back from Aus in August and would love to lose loads before then!

Well done RugbyKirsty! Supreme stuff!! Am doing battle with the dvd and still enjoying. Err that might be a rather strong word for it but.... You know what I mean..... all that humping and heaving has got to be worth it? :sigh:

Depends on what you like best to eat! I tried Dukan and got off 5 lbs in 5 days. Fab. But, then got stuck. I have gone back to good old GI which suits me as I love, veg, salad and fruit. Also, I don't like sweet things including chocolate. I do have it once in a blue moon but it's rare...
