Hi-thought i'd check in....another 3 lb off so thats 8.5lb in 3 weeks- suited!! I am exercising....i did a super sprint triathlon in september and realised i'd just done it with my 7 year old son wrapped round my waist....he weighs 3 1/2 stone....i couldn't help but think how much faster i would...

I'll join you.....re-joined sw 2weeks ago weighing in at 13 s 5.5 lbs.....now i'm 13 on the nose. Weigh ins are weds evening....want to be 10s 7lbs by april. In it together ladies :-)

Are there any veggies out there ( even ones who eat fish) that have done this diet? Is it doable and did you get good results?

Hi, after messing about, i am starting Dukan on the 14th July......and loved reading your diary.....very inspirational and truthful. I have about 2.5 stone to lose and am looking forward to starting. I am also a veggie, so realise it might be more restrictive but i did atkins before and it still...

I've just bought some of the new HEB wraps from asda.......finding a filling lunch isnt always easy and i'm always hungry by lunch....see how i go next week. Weekends are always my downfall.....

Its hard isn't it saruk? Most people look in the mirror and think they look fat.....it takes pictures to do that. But i am going to do what i can to make those photos look better....and just try to remember that at the moment, i'm fat.deal with it :-)

did my first day today for 4 months...hard but feeling good now :-)

Well, I did the first day of Jillian's 30 day shred......managed it and want to see how it helps....looking good for food too.....thanks for your post Glamup - how are you getting on this week?

All good for day 2.... No exercise but a good green day,finishing the day off with a delish spag bol.....feeling good :-)

Hi, i'm overweight and the first time i did it i was unfit....but its 20 mins and while it is hard work, you will do it and feel amazing as you cool down. Everytime i do it, i hate it while i'm doing it, but you feel great when its finished and a nice hot bath before you go to bed helps....my...

Going to give this a new start....need to do something over winter to try and tone me up :-)

Had this again tonight....lovely :-)

Mushroom and lentil loaf, veg and sw roasties....yum :-)

Had a good start today....stuck to my green day well, made a sw quiche for tomorrow's lunch, been for a long walk... And just enjoyed an hour on the xbox shaking it to dance central 3.... Amazing what a sweat you can get on :-)

Hello people, Since giving birth to my second son in 2011, I did well on SW and got down to 11s 4lbs, then Christmas happened, and ever since then my weight has been going up and up. I am now at 13st 4lbs, and that is basically an increase of a stone a year........the ironic thing of all of...

Hi - please can you add me? I have 28lbs to lose before i go on my holidays with my sister in law who has lost 2 stone with sw in july.....i'm not jealous, but very envious of her determination....and i don't want to feel fat all holiday.....i reckon that means i need to lose just under 2 lb per...

Goose- apart from buying a house and getting pregnant (which took me 3 years first time round.....then my body knew what to do and caught on immediately second time round) I love your aims.....not doing lipo trim, but want to lose 2 stone ideally by April. I need to appreciate people who deserve...

You look amazing and have done so well-inspired!!

Hi, just had my weigh in this morning too and lost 9 lbs, so absolutely delighted. 27lbs to go :-)

Thanks keelie, water does seem to be the key and keeping busy. Feeling ok today.....thought I'd be missing actual food more than I am at the moment.keeping my chin up and out of the fridge :-)

Just starting my 3rd day....think I've lost 5lbs already so thismis keeping me going. Been busy for last 2 days so it's not too bad. Good luck with it - have decided porridge is more filling but a bit Tudor, soups are ok and the chocolate tetra packs are fine by me.

Thanks everyone.....some good advice there. Will see how I go and keep you all updated. Bought some readymade shakes so perhaps they will help :-)

Hi alI. I'm just about to start back on Cambridge tomorrow after 4 years and a second beautiful son, and what I thought would be a clear 3 weeks at it without socialising has already got a friend wanting to do lunch......how do others cope with this problem? I don't want to ruin it, but in also...

I have to agree. Having done Cambridge 4 yrs ago to kick start my post pregnancy weight loss, here I am again wondering wether to do it again......the inspirational photos convinced me to book my meeting with a consultant tomorrow and get back on it. Cheers

Hi everyone. I've been messing around since christmas with this diet.......need to frame myself and get back on it. I managed to get to 11s 5lbs before xmas but am now back at 12 s 7.5 and pretty annoyed with myself. Its all about weekends - i am good mon to fri - then fri night hits and i'm...

Going to try these on pancake day......very excited :-)

Thanks blondee .......that's what I've done and read our new mag very carefully.....always good for a bit of inspiration :-)

Diet coke chicken and rice for me too:-)

Hi. Need some encouragement.....after the December wobble, I'm struggling to get focused again. Have gone from 11s 5 lbs at end of November gradually back to 11s 13lb...... Why is it so easy to put on and such a bugger to lose?!?

Completed day 3 level 3 today...... Rock hard but I'm sure I'm more toned than I was. Forgot to take measurements and haven't been following my diet as well as I should have. When I'm done and heading back for round 2( following Natalie instead of Anita) I'll take measurements x

Currently on d 7 level 2.... Never stuck at it this long before! I am doing it with a very disciplined friend so that has kicked my ass this time. Definitely more toned but wish I'd remembered to take measurements :-s

Sounds fab- going to give this a whirl!

Sounds good- going to give this a try!

Good luck to you nominees too :)

That's a good idea.....but have thought about it, and have realised with my sad little life, I probably won't get chance to wear a dress for the rest of this year, so have decided to go for it! Life's too short.... ;)

I am confused too......my consultant says I've been nominated, and when I asked what I needed to do, she texted ' wear a little black dress if you like' and when I asked if anyone else was, because I'd feel an idiot if I was the only one, she said she wasn't sure, but wear what I like......what...

This was delish for my Sunday dinner!

I just made these for my Sunday dinner and they were fab!

Can't wait to try these!!

Well, did it...day one level one completed! Just 29 to go ;)

Have been feeling terrible......started shred yesterday, had a sneezing fit 5 mins in and realised I shouldn't be doing it. Will start when I feel better.... Defo by Saturday(which is 5th) and really a 30 day countdown!

Pact-even though I have been woken up by my kids at 5.30 and seem to háve acquired a lovely cold and ore throat! I will not be deterred!

Right- need to get back on this properly. I am returning to work after 8 months maternity on 5th December and I am aiming to be close to my sw target weight of 10 s 7 lbs ( aiming to have this with a steady 2 lb weight loss by Xmas) and would be delighted to do it by the time I have returned to...

Sounds fab- can't wait to try these!

You look fab...... Well done! Hopefully I can get to somewhere near there by my year anniversary of starting back after 2nd baby...and would love your abs!

This looks fab.....glad I found it- sunday dinner sorted!

Butternut squash risotto..... It was delish!

Delighted tonight- rectified my 2 lb gain last week with a 4 lb loss this week! Got my 1.5 stone award and am over the moon :)

Arrgh- didn't do it today! Need to physically put this into my schedule to commit to this.......and stop people 'dropping' round :( back on it tomorrow again

Hello ! Delighted to be finally joining you folks...... It'd not been an easy journey but at WI tonight I made 11 s 13 lbs .... And it felt good! ;)

1 lb off for me.... Please would someone be kind enough to update me please? Looks like it needs to be a 5 lb loss this week ;)

Whoop whoop- 11.13! I'm off- hopefully never to return! Thanks for your hospitality :)

Will do...... ;)

I'm hoping to go to WI in 10 mins and be leaving you all..... Fingers crossed for all the right reasons :)

Smash, vegetarian toad in the hole and onion gravy... Mmmmmm!

Hi- please could someone add me. I would like 6 lbs off in october- 4 WIs so approx 1.5 lbs per week ;) bd in October so will see if I can still achieve it.

Loved it! Thanks so much for this :)

Job number 1 - go to WI. You need to and will feel so much better for going afterwards. You have done so well. Not going is the slippery slope to quitting and ruining what you have done so far. Job number 2 - go for a walk if it stops raining.... It will make you feel better. Job number 3 - have...

Nice roast dinner with meat free lamb- lots of veggies. Going to make plenty so can have leftovers tomorrow ; )

Back on it today- level 1 day 1. Now son at school in mornings it means I can get a routine going. Drop him off in my sweats, come home, do it and then shower while baby asleep. Done! This will work and then in 30 days time it's my birthday- and I'd love a size 10/12 body for then. That would be...

Yeah but stuck to nothing and never learnt how to do any one thing properly....just stuck to it till she got the pay check.

I lost a stone on Cambridge diet after having my first son ( as a quick way to get things going) but it was the hardest 3 weeks of my life and I knew I couldn't sustain it. I had done sw before and decided to return as I was never hungry on it - and I continued to lose straight away. After the...

Not that bad ---- you can deal with that with a big poo ;)

Watching episode two now and can't believe she's considering surgery- fix the way you look at food first otherwise nothing g will change

Agree with the nails idea- I always get mine done when I'm down and it cheers me up no end- weird how pretty nails can do this- but I also like the bath idea...... Cheaper than getting nails done ;)

Thanks :)

Gutted- made a mistake..... Was 12stone 1.5 last time.... Now I'm 12 stone!!! One more week ;)

Please can someone update me with 1.5 lb loss?

Got wi tonight.... I think after my holiday week I may have STD at 12 stone half a pound..... I may be staying with you all for one 'ore week ;)

I need to get back on this ..... Completely gone to pot since son started school :( starting the full thing again from tomorrow and will stick to it this time. Jillian - I'm coming back ;)

Diet coke chicken made with vegetarian' mock duck' and wild rice...... Mock duck synned at 6.5 but very tasty :)

Quern fillet, roasted new potatoes, broccoli and cauliflower- possibly with cheese sauce if I have the syns to spare ;)

After a nice Sunday dinner, something simple and free...... Ryvita crackers and low fat cheese spread, followed by an active ff yoghurt :)

No probs and good luck :)

Ok clareel.... Here's my advice for what its worth :) Firstly, box up all the naughty food you don't need in your cupboards and put it somewhere that will be difficult to get to( I use my garage). This is far enough away to help me get back in control and also where i can't be bothered to go to...

Tbh, our c is really good, but never mentions body magic. I might actually start doing it as with 30 day shred and my zumba, I must be getting there ;)

Would have been my wi tonight, but on jollies so fingers crossed - I'll be reporting doubleish next week ;)

Haven't been able to do it for last 2 days- travelling Monday, too busy yesterday, but back on it today. Will be able to do it tomorrow, then not really on Friday as travelling then in a premier inn(no DVD player) then travelling back up saturday so might be able to do it sat evening. Then I'm...

Quorn burger, cauliflower cheese, broccoli, new potatoes, mushy peas and gravy!

That's quorn.... Bloody spellcheck!

Diet coke quoth and wholegrain rice .... Mmmmmmm!

Day 5 done! Getting there ;)

Just use a beach towel folded double..... That should do it ; )

Missed today as just haven't had time.....feel so naughty! Back on it tomorrow for day 5.... And I am going to do it for the next ten days straight- the DVD is even coming on holiday with me ; ) I want a new body!! And seeing as I can't afford to buy one, the DVD will have to do!

3lb off - slimmer of week and month!! That makes me 12 s 1.5 lbs....... And I credit this weeks loss to super speedy soup :)

Hi debridger, it's in the oven baking now, but as long as you don't mind using your fingers to spread the quark, it looks ok so far ;)

Agree with wegle- sweet onion ryvita are yummy ;)

Lasagne made with he cheese and quark in place of the White sauce. First time trying this so fingers crossed!

Thanks lily!

Hi everyone. I'm currently at 12 s 4.5 lb and want to get back into the 11's , with a view eventually of getting into the 10's......Although that seems ages off with the way I've been wobbling in my weight loss so far. Weigh in day is Wednesday- so all encouragement welcome ; )

Ps anymore off would be greatly appreciated :)

I'd love to do this too..... Please can someone add me? My weigh in day is Wednesday so I want to lose 8 lbs from weds 7th to weds 28th September inclusive......that would almost take me to my pre-pregnancy weight ;)

Day 4 done - feel like I'm getting better at it and cardio section doesn't kill me as much anymore- but still hate jumping jack's....... Not so much for the move, but the fact my saggy apron bounces too and it hurts a bit sometimes. I'll persevere tho- that apron will be gone in 26 days ; )

Argh-had to miss today for christening down south. Even checked if hotel room had a DVD player.back on it tomorrow for day 4 x

Super speed soup, cracker bread and quorn ham slices- feeling pretty full : )

Agreed-I am thinking of sw as a way of eating for the rest of life- not just while I lose weight. And so I am going to 'go off plan' as many are calling it- because I'm not going to be a saint for the rest of my life, I will have the odd pizza, burger etc so I might as well incorporate it now ; )

Just weighed myself- I think jillians sadism has dropped 1.5 lbs off me in 2 days of sticking to sw and 30 day shred. That compensates for the pain this morning then .......

Good luck with it then x

Doing slimming world too-have been since may but weight loss has slowed a bit. How about you?

Me too- 20 mins is nowt to get somewhere! Will keep you updated.... And stick at it too! ; )

So I have managed to do day 2 of level 1 today. Thighs have now joined the arms in aching.... But taking a perverse pleasure in knowing it's all helping. Also did my measurements today too. The main thing I want to change is my waist ( after 2 c sections, it don't look pretty) and this measures...

After day 1 of shred, my shoulders and arms are aching but that's it. Also forgot I had a zumba class last night, so extra exercise there. Ready for d2 today.... Bring it on ; /

Well, done day 1 level 1........ Don't feel too bad, but had a nice bath after just in case....can't find a tape measure but will buy one today, but weight was 12 s 4.75 lbs. Doing it in conjunction with sw, so fingers crossed. Ready for the pain ; )

It looks like some of us girlies need to lose more weight than some of us realise....... Get to target and the dump the extra couple of hundred of pounds that have made you feel so bad! My hubbie is so supportive and would never say anything like that..... It's for reasons like this that he is...

Arrived in post today! Very excited and nervous at same time......what time do people generally do the workout? Sounds like a stupid question, but if it's as bad as some make out, I'm better having the emptiest of stomach is all I'm thinking : )

Thanks tras..... Will wait for it to arrive and get on it like a car bonnet ; )

Hi. After reading this thread(yep, pretty much all 114 pages!) I have ordered the DVD. I have a 2 yr old and 4 month old son and need to tone up after 2 c sections- I have a rather large apron still after losing nearly a stone and a half back on sw. Want to get another couple of stone off,but...

You'll be fine back at work- last time I felt weird for the first half hour then gradually found myself falling back into old routine - plus, when you are at work, it's less tempting to snack all the time than when you are at home.......which means more chance of good weight losses :) Hope the...

Hello. Loving your diary.......I had my ds at the beginning of may this year and can identify with everything you write here. It was like I'd written it. Ive started back at class and want to get a couple of stone off- so I will check in with you every now and again. I also have a christening...

This is fab- just had it for tea and it was gorgeous! Had it with rice? But think it would be great in a wrap xxx

I'll join you- but might swap red week for and extra green week (veggie) Class is weds night( although can't make this week) and on oct 22nd- it's my bd and would love to be 20 lbs lighter - so here we go!

This is a really useful thread...... Just got back fro holiday..... Fell off the slimming world wagon spectacularly. Need the speed to get back on track this week ; )
