Hi all, sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong place! I've recently been following a VLCD (all about W8) since June and have lost nearly 4 stone on it, but the company are apparently having financial issues and my Councillor has since stopped doing weight ins so I'm a bit lost now! I have...

Thanks Hun :) F x

Thank you :) I bought a size 14 tankini yesterday for my holiday! It felt goooood!!

Thanks guys! Really appreciate the lovely comments :) F x

Welcome to all you new comers!! Everyone is welcome to join the challenge :) I've not weighed in for a couple of weeks as it was my birthday last week so I took a scheduled few 'days off'. This week however I've been 100% all by myself, without going to my councillor! This is something I've...

Thanks Hun :) F x

Haha! I love this!! I'll be trying that in the morning ;)

Hi all, I had a 1lb gain last week so I didn't bother to update :( HOWEVER, this week I've lost 6lbs!! I'm so chuffed with that, it's been a tough week but soooo worth it!! 1985 - (65lbs to lose - 65lbs to go) Antiefeva - (30lb to lose - 24 to go) Baby_Cakes (28lbs to lose - 28lbs to go)...

6 off for me this week :)

A pound on for me this week :( my first gain in 10 weeks! But I'm having a good week now, feeling confident. Can't let a small gain get me down or I'll start to munch!! F x

Thank you honeybee :) well done on your loss too Hun! F x

Thanks :) F x

Thank you JLStretton! Wow @ your stats, super impressive! I'm in awe! :o F x

Hello irene, thank you! And well done on your loss so far, that's brilliant :)

Thank you Val, I do hope so!! My councilor says I need to start eating real food soon so I find it easier to maintain, I'll give it another stone and then consider it. The thought quite frankly terrifies me :( But I suppose I need to conquer my demons! F x

As of today I am now 14st 10lbs, and as a special treat my Dad sent me another horror 'before' photo, which I can't even believe myself. Why didn't I see myself as that big!? So here's the before... And Here's the NOW :) 31lbs to go :) F x

I know the feeling Hun, I started off in jan at 18.3 stone and last night I weighed in at 14.10 stone! There is light at the end of the tunnel, you will get there slowly but surely!! F x

I got a cross stitch for me to do in the evening to keep my mind off food! Keeps your hand busy. Go to a hobby craft if you have one near you, they have loads of nice things. F x

Thank you! I'm so pleased after my rubbish couple of weeks! 31lbs to goal now, can't believe I'm so close now. My Dad sent me a horrific picture he found of the 'old' me. I can't believe the change, couldn't really see it until now!! I'll update the "my journey so far" with pics later :) F x

5lbs off for me this week :) F x

Just read through this thread and felt compelled to send you a virtual hug cherrygem. My heart aches for you :( It's such a shame you feel so sad and lost! Maybe you are worried that if you slim down to your original weight your boyfriend will be jealous of other guys attention and you fear he...

Welcome aboard Val :)

Also well done Riotgrrrrl!! :)

Welcome to you Antiefeva! You are more than welcome to join us. Well done on your loss so far :) What VLCD are you doing? I'm doing All About W8 as I found WW was just too slow to shift the weigh, and as you say when food is in the equation one thing leads to another... I find it easier to...

Thanks Hun :) I fell off to wagon for a couple of weeks but I'm back on it now. Looking forward to my WI tomorrow for sure! F x

Awesome Katierose!! You're doing so well. Bet you're pleased with yourself :) F x

I'm hoping for 3-4 off this week! My scales say 3, but I don't trust them. But as long as I lose at least 2 I'll be in the 14 stones! Yippee!! Feeling a bit sicky today, ketosis isn't agreeing with me this week so I had some snack-a-jacks to try and settle my stomach and kick me out of it :(...

I'm taking you on this week Val! :)

Yay! Thanks ever so much. I'm on All About W8 and I weigh in on Tuesdays :) hoping for a good loss this week!! F x

Is it too late to join you guys?? Looks like fun! I love a bit of competition. F x

Thanks for the reminder Nic! I lost my motivation for 2 weeks but still managed to get a 1lb loss. My head is firmly back in the game now with 36lbs to go and I'm really excited for my WI on Tuesday as I only need a 2lb loss to be in the 14stones!! Somewhere I NEVER thought I'd be back in...

Hi all! Glad you're all doing so well. I've majorly lost the plot the last couple of weekends. Time to face to music at tomorrows WI, I'm dreading it :( I've lost my mojo a bit!! Getting me down now :( F x

Thank you llla and elivan :) F x

Re: the belt - I say definitely wear one! I had a top that skimmed my chest and made my tummy look bigger, got an elasticated wide belt from new look and positioned it just under my boobs and it brings you in nicely at the waist. Made a huge difference!!

Wow Diva, those are amazing losses!! I hope you manage to get back in your stride soon. Have you tried All About W8? I'm on that and finding it pretty good :) F x

Ooh, yes I can! Just figured out how :) clever!! F x Antiefeva. -2lb (20lb to lose 4lb to go) Beanboy (42lb to lose by xmas 38lb to go) Beanybaby - 19lb to go Begghead - 6lbs lost - 59lbs to lose (by xmas) Bobsledwheels (26.5lbs to lose 24.5lbs to go) Cat38x - 4lbs lost - 28lbs to go (32lb to...

Can someone update me please? Can't do it from my phone :( 37 to go :) F x

All you need is enough space to lie down and do star jumps :) F x

Wow you look amazing!! 80lbs is what I needed to lose at the start, I've got 37 more to go to take me to my goal of 12st 7lbs then see how I feel. It's lovely to see someone with a similar loss and what I have to look forward to!! Thanks for the boost! I'm even more excited to reach goal now :)...

Another 3 gone for me this week :) F x

Excellent work team!! By my calculations as a group we have lost 41lbs! That's some serious good going. Well done all!! F x

Thank you! For the first time in my adult life I can see the end and actually feel like I'm going to reach it. Back in January when I had 80lbs to lose it felt like an impossible task, I was always going to be overweight. Now I'm over halfway and still feel motivated and 'in the zone'. Despite...

Another 3lbs off this week :) 37lbs to target, over halfway there now! Beyond excited! F x

Thanks Riotgrrrrl! :) Nice to see you're doing well on the losses despite many distractions, Mayweather! We are all here rooting for you! I'm going away this weekend to visit the folks, always plays havoc with the diet, my parents like to feed!! I'm determined to stick at it! 3 more pounds...

Lost another 3lbs this week :) after my naughty day on Saturday I'm very pleased!! Can someone update my stats please? Can't do it on my phone. 37lbs to go!! Yay!! F x

Hertfordshire, UK :)

How did everyones weekend go? I managed to reign myself back in today and have a 100% good day, though I haven't been good with my water intake!! Going to Zumba tomorrow after work for the first time too, looking forward to that!! F x

Thanks Val! Unfortunately (or fortunately, which ever way you want to look at it) I put on all my weight around my middle, my legs never really seem to change much. Made it annoying buying clothes to fit a massive tum and relatively "slim" legs. I'm now starting to see a waist, didn't think I...

Having a bit of a rubbish weekend so to make myself feel better I've just taken my measurements after 6 weeks of being on W8 and the results are in! Week 1 Waist - 45 inches Tummy - 50 inches Bust - 45 inches Arms - 13 inches Knees - 17 inches Thigh - 26 inches Week 6 Waist - 40 inches Tummy -...

Thanks for the kind words girls :) Feeling a bit better today, it's a new day. I'll just draw a line under yesterday and not let it get me down! Big well done on your losses! That's an excellent start :) F x

The Wendy plan sounds good, I look forward to hearing the results at your weigh in! Having a bit of a tough day today, went out last night for a few drinks with my friends and as a result feel gross today and can't stomach any of my diet mealpaks :( So I've basically eaten rubbish today! Not...

Small personal achievement today, went to buy some new jeans, tried on my usual size 18, fitted fine, then i thought "hmm they are a bit baggy, can I be bothered to try on a 16...?" so, I did and they fitted!! I barely squeezed into an 18 to begin with!! That's made my Friday! Yippeee!! Happy...

Wise words as ever Mayweather! I do fear that by doing a VLCD I'm not really facing my food demons and conquering them, more hiding away from them. But I suppose I'll have to cross that bridge when I begin maintaining and introducing foods back into my diet. I just hope that when I get to my...

Cat, what is the Wendy plan? I've done WW for years and never heard of it! I'm intrigued. Just completed day 2 of the 30 day shred, I didn't really feel like it but I drew my strength from you guys :) I can relax for the night now!! How is everyone else getting on? F x

Day 2 compete! Not as bad as day 1 I thought. Felt shorter! I had music playing this time though, served as a good distraction! Pleased I did it though. I can shower and relax now :) F x

Day after day 1 and I'm not feeling too sore! Not looking forward to seeing jillian when I get home, but needs must! It's got to get easier at some point!! F x

Hello to you new comers! and Hi to the rest of team 20w! My personal achievement today, completed Day 1 of Jillians 30 day shred, and oh my days, it huuuuurt!! But I'm glad I did it, even if it was at 10pm!! Hope you've all had a fabulous Wednesday, we are nearing the weekend!! Anyone have...

Just completed day 1 - level 1. Oh my days, I swear I was close to throwing up!! Please tell me day 2 gets better. I so don't want to hat Jillian, but I can tell it's going that way!! F x

Of course you can! Just copy and paste the team list above and add your goal weight loss :) Have a good day all! F x

Bag not back! Can't edit posts on my phone... Grrr! Edit - ignore me, yes you can! Duh me.

Oh totally, I'd like nothing more than to hide away with a family size bag of unmentionable malted milk chocolate balls (sounds rude haha!) but I'm enjoying my blossoming confidence so much more!! Infact, at the weekend I attended a charity football event where I knew there would be people...

Thanks so much Kelly! It is indeed a VLCD. After 8 years of trying and failing on Weight Watchers I needed a kick up the bum! Working for me so far. I'm really enjoying it :) F x

Oh you devil, chewy cookies are the best!! I've managed to somewhat retrain my brain, it's a miracle I've lasted this long to be fair! I've not had chocolate for 7 weeks now! The nights I used to pop into Tesco on the way home and buy an embarrassing amount of rubbish to sit and gorge on are...

Thanks Claire :) F x

Stay strong Mayweather, don't let London's bright lights blind you from your goal ;) Really loving this thread!! I feel we should all get to know each other a little better...? I'll start, my name is Felicity (you can call me Flic if you so wish) I'm 26 and I miss chocolate and cheese...

Wowsers, you looks beautiful Bubbles!! Such a difference, well done to you. F x

Oh Dhanne, what a rough time of it you've had. Thank goodness it was benign! You're amazing to come out of such a horrible time so positive, truely inspiring!! F x

So this is team "20 weeks" as it stands, apologies if your info is incorrect, please copy and paste then amend it! Sorry Lola, I wasn't sure what your goal was? :confused: I hope I didn't miss anyone! Evy_Starlight - (20lbs to lose - 20lbs to go) gettingfitat50 - (21lbs to lose - 21lbs to go)...

Well done gettingfitat50! I know if there was ice cream in the house I'd find it hard to resist, especially after a taste! And woohoo honeybee, those are the small victories I like! Mind recently was getting into a bra I bought ages ago, we are talking years here, that still had the tags on as...

Welcome to the team Rainstar, the more the merrier :) You made the right choice! F x

Hi R.G! Welcome to you, sounds like you had a very enjoyable holiday! The good news is the weight will fall off pretty quick, easy on easy off :) Good Luck. F x

Welcome to you and good luck in your journey!! :) F x

Thank you Diva! I'm sure you look amazing after your incredible loss, I'm in awe!! unfortunately I can't view your pics (if you have any!) until I reach 50 posts.. Not long now! How long has that taken you to lose? Ruddy well done to you lady!! I've lost another 4lbs tonight, so I'm exactly...

I lost 4lbs!! That makes my total loss 40lbs since January :) chuffed with that. 40 to go now, I'm halfway there!! Yippee!! Calorie free drinks on me :) Hope everyone else is having a good day F x

Me too!! I hope it comes tomorrow!!

Well done Evy! That's a brilliant start :) can't wait to weigh in tonight!! I've been so good all week. Hope the scales are kind to me! F x

Good job Charleybar! I WI tonight, fingers crossed :) F x

And Evy, I didn't go to my school leavers prom either. I said I didn't want to for other reasons, but deep down it's because I knew i would look ridiculous in a dress!! We should all have our own prom when we are all at goal! :) F x

Mayweather, you should be some sort of therapist! I find your posts very inspiring. They really hit home. Thank you!! It's almost like you are writing about me! Lol Today is the day of my first WI on the 20 week challenge, I'm very excited to report back later :) Welcome to you newcomers...

Thanks honeybee! It is hard to visualise. I didn't really see any difference until I saw the pictures. I suppose you see yourself everyday so it's hard to notice change. I still feel massive! But not as massive as I was I guess. I read on here that 36lbs is the equivalent of 8 x 2ltr bottles...

Thank you so much leahs! I don't think I've ever inspired anyone, I feel quite honoured :) Keep us posted on your progress! What diet will you be following?? X

We are here for you honeybee! This is the last diet we will ever go on :) I've been 100% good today. Quite looking forward to my WI tomorrow! Results to follow...

Thanks for your support Mayweather. We can do this, 2011 is the year for change and we all must embrace this!! I'm determined to be 100% until the clock strikes 12 on Dec 31st :) Have a brilliant day everyone!! F x

Can I join you guys? I've been on a diet for what seems my whole adult life. I'm 26 now, so by my guess I've been dieting for around 8/9 years! Failing everytime. This is my last ditch attempt to lose it, I really don't want to be overweight by NYE. I've never been a 'normal' weight, the best...

Many thanks Dhanne! :)

Please count me in! 44lbs to go until my goal :) Antiefeva. (20lb to lose 6lb to go) Beanboy (42lb to lose by xmas 38lb to go) Beanybaby - 19lb to go Begghead - 6lbs lost - 59lbs to lose (by xmas) Bobsledwheels (26.5lbs to lose 24.5lbs to go) Cat38x (32lb to lose by xmas) CharleyBar (7.5lbs...

I don't know, there are plenty of nice guys out there. I think sometimes we give them a bit of a raw deal. Us girls can be just as shallow sometimes, unfortunately. I do however agree about the world children are being raised in today. I'm hoping the new generation of parents will see how this...

I got myself a nice cross stitch to do. Helps distract me :)

You raise a good point. There is the risk of gain and then the person who fell in love with you slim will change their minds. You just have to hope you've picked a partner who is better than that! I've never had a partner who didn't like my weight, per say. When my insecurities showed they've...

Excellent news! This is what I like to hear. I was always so paranoid about being approached by men when I was a bit bigger (and still am!) like they are only doing it for a dare or something. It'll be nice to feel genuinely attractive for once.

Fatorexia sufferer here! Like many, it's what got me into this mess in the first place. I'm usually quite good at posing for pictures too and obviously any tagged of me on FB are highly edited to remove any unflattering ones!! So it was a huge shock to step on the scales in January and read...

I decided to really knuckle down and get to goal (after being on a diet most of my adult life!) after a break-up. I realised that I'll never be happy and content within a relationship until I'm happy with myself and feel deserving of the love. This is my way of giving something back to me and...

Also do I need to get some weights before I start?? F x

Ordered the DVD off Amazon last night, I'm so excited to start it! Are people finding it effective in aiding weightloss or just toning? F x

You look ruddy amazing lady, good job!! x

Thank you very much emmaline! well done on your losses also :) x

Thank you moonwalk :) I see we have pretty much identical stats! Good luck on your weight loss journey x

Hello all, thought it was about time I bit the bullet and put some progress pictures up, in the hopes it will spur me on and keep me from being tempted to snack :rolleyes: So far I have lost a total of 36lbs since the end of January this year. I've done a combination of WW (lost 1.5 stone) then...

Thank you :)

I've never been measured! I get too scared, do you have to go topless?? I really should go, I've never had a really well fitting bra :(

Hello! New member here, been lurking for a couple of weeks on the W8 forum, so thought it best I sign up and get posting. Quick back story, I'm 26 and have been on WW for what seems like most of my adult life, never quite managing to get to goal, stopping then piling the weight back on again...
