Good luck kirsty, you will be fine, stay focused on your goal. If you feel like smacking, have a fruit tea or big glass of water, then go for a good walk. I always find a bit of exercise helps refocus!

Hi All, I've been here a while and was in the 11s- 10s group....now I need support to get into the 9s. I've been hanging about at the same weight - 10st 1.25 for nearly 8 weeks (but at least I didn't put on over Christmas). As of this morning I am 10st 0 exactly, fingers crossed I can do it next...

Once you make that first step, it's all positive from there.....enjoy your journey and let us know how you get on. Best of luck :)

Eggs are great - poached or boiled. Fried is not good, and scrambled has too much added junk.......a slice of wholegrain toast without butter and a poached egg is a good brekkie!

You've done amazingly well, what a journey! Happy 2012

Well done on everything you've achieved James, I read your entire thread the other day and had to reply! Keep going, you're doing great.

I saw in Boots yesterday the shake tins are £2.99, typical when I'm not doing SF anymore!!

Hi All, Happy new Year to everyone! I haven't been doing SF for some months now, have just been sticking with a low calorie custom diet, but thought I'd pop in and say hello. How's everyone doing? Since August I have lost 20.5lb and have 8lb left to lose until I hit target. When I get there...

Sorry everyone for being AWOL for ages!! I do apologise, how is everyone getting on? In September I lost 5.5lb, better late than never to give an update I guess!!

Hi Nicky! Don't panic - remember there are some days when you can't be 100% on plan, but that's ok - just have a sensible lunch, then a shake for dinner ;)

Hi all, how's everyone doing? I started at the beginning of August. I only did true SF for a few weeks, then I switched to just eating sensibly - more protein and less carbs. Some weeks I've stayed the same for 2-3 weeks, so I know it can be disheartening. The trick is to see your long term...

Hi Lyn how are you doing? I've not been on the forum for ages either, but thought I best pop in and say hi!! Hope everyone is doing well on their diets? I've lost 18lb since I started...still a little way to go until my target weight, but I'm feeling so good!

Do you have skimmed milk, or are you having gold top :D Obviously there's quite a difference in cals and fat. Just count it in your daily allowance like everyone has said :)

Good on you greedy, you are motivating us all! :)

I'm so pleased, 4 weeks ago when I started this I was 11st 5.5. Today I weigh 10st 12 exactly. A loss of 7.5lb in a month, which I'm chuffed about How is everyone doing? Let's all stick to this!! :D

Aww Mel, poor lil thing, and poor you for not sleeping too well :( A bit of fresh air will probably do you both the world of good! Make time for 40 winks later too ;)

Morning All, well I'm sorry to report I'm leaving you now - official WI this morning - 10st 12, see you all in the 10's!! :D

CathyChicka - 9lbs to loose | 0lbs lost fit-by-30 - 10lbs to loose | 0lbs lost clh_x3 - 39lbs to lose | 0lb lost Biggirl - 17lbs to lose | 3.8lbs lost | 13.2lbs to go! LighterCL - 7lb to lose in August |7.5lb lost this month I did it!!!! 7.5lb lost this month, I'm over the moon!!:clap:

That's great, I'm enjoying my weight loss journey too this time around, and am really sticking to it, my willpower is so good for some reason!! THIS TIME, we will do it! And stick to it! ;)

Of COURSE we can do it!! :) There's so much good support on here!

I've been thinking about combining straw and banana too! I have both powder tins at home so may give it a whirl. Caffe latte is ok, but I really miss the smoothies!

I agree they are good, I've done this before to take to work for my lunches. Way nicer as they are cooked properly in the oven first, then wrap em in tin foil and take one with you each day, nuke it in the microwave!!

Wow, getting married in a castle would be so cool!! Go for it if you can find one that suits!

Yeeehar I am SO up for this!! I'll find out tomorrow if I've done my 7lb target for August, fingers crossed! Redmel - 7lbs LighterCL - 7lbs

You can do it!!! After a couple of weeks you will really be able to see and feel a difference :) this motivates you to keep going, and say no to the cravings!

I have tea about 6.30 /7 when I get in from work. Sometimes I try and wait even longer so I'm not starving at around 9, which is when I used to pig out on toast :(

I think I'm all of them, what now?! :D

I do a bit of walking, possibly going for a 5/6 miles today!

Sarah I think the choc ones are bloody awful, threw mine down sink!! My fave is vanilla ready made, can never find it in a tin though :(

6lb!!!! Absolutely amazing well done!!!

I did it for about 3 weeks then the weight loss stopped. Ive now switched to more "food" but with a shake sometimes for brek. I think the cal allowance was too low for me so I'm upping it a bit!

Well everyone we have TWO days of August left, let's do this!!! If I lose a quarter of a pound more by Weds, then I've done my August 7lb target :d

Hope your WI went well Mel! abski a pound off is great and a healthy loss!

Sounds like you're doing great Mel :) I bet your dress feels looser when you try it on! I took some clothes to the charity shop on Sat as they are too big! :)

Hi where did you find the SF smoothies cos I love those but thought they had been discontinued!! No idea why they did thsat as they are yum!! :D

Hi Sarah, welcome! :D your hol is great motivation to stick to it, let us know how you get on :)

It's amazing how much nice and filling food we can actually eat isn't it! :) Makes it much easier and you don't feel like you're on some salady diet!

Hi Blossom!! Well I'm finding I weigh myself one morning and I can weigh in again half hour later just to "check" and I'm a pound heavier or lighter arrrgh!! I have no idea how much I weigh at all, and it's starting to annoy me so I don't want to stand on the scales!! I think we all fluctuate...

I get that with too much caffeine! I'm quite intolerant to it and get hot and have heart palpitations and stuff, but I do love a latte or a cuppa!! Has it subsided now? Hope you're feeling better ;)

well done Emily and Mel!! The first week is the hardest, so sounds like you're getting through it no problem :D Keep on it girls! I'm finding it REALLY hard to lose any more weight, every time I step on the scales it seems to be going up again :(

Wow that's a great idea!! Really helps illustrate it, and if you plan the week out, I find it easier to stick to! Great idea well done, and 4lb wahooooo!!! :D

Oh no shame about the milk! It doesn't really matter though as you say, as long as you keep within the cals. How are you getting on otherwise? :)

Don't worry Mel, it happens to us all, just put it behind you and be good from now on! :) We are only human!!:ashamed0005: Remember you can still have treats, but try and incorporate it into your daily allowance

Thanks so much girls, the support here is great, just what we all need! :girlpower:

Way to go Shaz!!!!!!!!! Fantastic!! 3lb is loads!! You must be over the moon :D :greenapple:

Hi Abbie!! Welcome, sounds like you are doing great!! Stay positive and focused and let us know how you're getting on!! I also keep an online food diary which really helps, as once you run out of cals, you gotta stop eating until tomorrow!!

Are you there Kim?!!! how you getting on with the treadmill? :)

I'm sure you will do great Mel and Em, the great thing about this diet is you can be flexible, so if you have a big lunch you just have a shake or small din, and you still get to snack!! Let us know how you get on!

Hi Em! Congrats on your little one too, hope all is going well :) It's fine to have a ready meal for tea!! I sometimes have one, but I always have veg with it (remember frozen is fine) you can have loads of peas to bulk it up. I also eat things like fishcakes and breaded chicken breasts with a...

Penquin YOU CAN DO IT, I know you can! :) It is difficult at first, but now, 3 weeks in, I really don't feel like I'm on a diet anymore and hardly feel hungry, my body has adjusted to it. Just picture yourself at the size you want to be, and don't let anything naughty tempt you ;) Clear the...

Thanks for the tips Dolly! He' sjust signed up for another month, he's done SO well on it so far - just under a stone in a month! :D

I'm here!!!!!! Sorry I wasn't able to get on over the weekend but I'm BACK now!! How are we all doing? :party0011: I stood on the scales on Sunday morning and I'm pleased to announce.......10st 13 :D:D So that's 6.5lb so far, wahoo!!

Aww that's a shame but try not to worry PP, yeah unfortunately alcohol is evil, you can be so good foodwise, but drink is just pure sugar and empty cals :( I'm sure you'll do great, just put it behind you ;)

I think on any diet this can happen, I found it too for a few days, also I had heart palpitations, I'm guessing it might be to do with blood sugar? Make sure you space out your snacks and meals so you don't ever feel starving. It DOES get easier ;)

Hi Mel and:welcome: There's plenty of support here, to help if your willpower starts to wane!! I'm sure you'll do great - I see you've set yourself some good targets, it's always good to tick them off along the way!!

I'm pretty sure you will lose weight - you can find out your optimum calorie intake and what the deficit should be per day / week online if you enter some details like weight and height. As long as you're under eating by about 500 cals off your daily allowance, and not eating a ton of fat to...

Hi Raeofsunshine and welcome!!! :D Look forward to hearing about your journey, come and tell us how you're getting on and rant when you need to!:)

Shaz at the end of the day, you're doing your weight loss for YOU, so do whatever you feel happy with! If you'd rather mix it up and do a bit of cal counting instead with soups for lunch (this is what I do!!) Then do it!! Whatever works for you :)

Wow that's amazing!! Good on you girl, talk about willpower!!:talk017:

I reckon it's the weather Shaz!! When it's horrible cold and wet makes me just wanna MUNCH!!!

Hi Princess, celebrating half a stone is a great target, I'm happy with a pound off!! :D I wish you the best of luck and keep us updated!

Hi Dolly and Trim and welcome!!! How are you finding it so far? I try and incorporate exercise into my day too, as like you I have a desk job :character00148: Dolly - my hubby is on Diet Chef and has lost quite a bit so far, I might try it next month if I find I plateau with SF, would you...

Hi Rae, please don't worry, it's fine to do it for longer than that!! Sorry you haven't seen any results as yet, but I'm sure you will! What other foods are you eating and what is your daily calorie intake?:)

Blimey Kim, sounds like you're guzzling plenty!! :party0027:

Sounds like you know what works for you, well done! ;) I might weigh myself 2 or 3 times a week, as then at least I'll know that if it goes up one day, it's ok as long as it comes back down again!

Great philosophy PP!! I know I can't cut out choc and biccies, so am trying to have a healthier version!! :) Oh I love Mattesons, especially that big garlic sausage thing you can get and mix up in pasta mmmmmmmm!! Not allowed until I've lost the weight!

Great idea for a thread!! :D Interesting about your WW experience. I know people that tried that and SW and it worked for a while but then they went off it.:cool: I chose it because I used SF 6 years ago to slim down in a very short amount of time for my wedding (and it worked!!) I lost about...

Ahh sorry you're having back pain Shaz :( That's rotten, hope the physio helps you a bit. I was told a few years ago to try and do stomach crunches as if your abs are strengthened then you don't get back pain as much....did I listen? No :D

That looks really fun!!! I would be in hysterics as my feet are so ticklish :rotflmao:

I find it helps me to drink water out of 500ml bottles, then I cross off on a pad every time I drink one during the day - that way I know exactly how much I've had :)

Helloooooo Princess Pow and welcome to our lil gang!!! :D Good for you - finding a diet regime that works, that's the most important thing, finding something you are comfortable with and you can stick to;) When is your Weigh in day?

Hello Princess Pow and :welcome: What are your goals? Look forward to hearing how you get on! We don't have a general chat thread, but seeing as all of here are blabbermouths I'm sure we'll have no problems nattering away on any thread :blahblah:

Thanks girls ;) I was a lil miffed, but as you say, better off than on!! How are you doing?

Hi All! Hope you're doing great. Quick update from me - this morning I am 11st 1.5lb, I only lost 0.75lb this week despite sticking to the diet religiously. Oh well :( Best of luck to everyone!

Hi All! Hope you're doing great. Quick update from me - this morning I am 11st 1.5lb, I only lost 0.75lb this week despite sticking to the diet religiously. Oh well :( So I'm here for at least another week!! Good luck everyone :)

That's funny, I hate Walkers Salt n vinegar but like other versions, haven't tried the S&V snackajacks though! Yeah come back CLH!!! Hope you're doing great!

:D Ahem Kim, not "methinks", it should be "I AM" hehehehe, nag nag ;) How you getting on Clair? The hunger does get easier I promise, I'm hardly hungry at all now :rolleyes:

Yayyy well done Penquin!! 3lb closer to your goal! How are you getting on with the plan? :D

Well today's WI was pretty disappointing, but I refuse to let it get me down, as next week WILL be better. I know I haven't cheated at all as I've documented everything I've eaten. I lost 0.75lb :mad::banghead: At least it's better than a gain though!!! Oh well, onwards and DOWNWARDS...

That's so good, imagine how much you're burning!! I bet that treadmill is gonna work wonders ;)

Hi Aly and a big welcome!!! This forum is getting more active now which is good, we are all trying to support each other and document our journies! I'm sure you'll do great, let us know how you're doing :)

Wow 2 miles!! That's incredible, you go girl!:happy096::clap: Don't worry about your tea, like you said you prob cancelled it out anyway with all that exercise and no snacks, I'm sure it's fine ;) I know exactly what you mean about WI, just do whatever you feel is best for you. It is hard if...

OOh a fish pedicure! What was it like? I am way too ticklish for that, I'd be cringing and laughing! :D Oh I love scrambled or poached egg, with loads of brown sauce and pepper mmmmm, bet it was heaven! ;) Sounds like you guys are doing really well! So is the Ultraslim vanilla nicer than SF...

Sounds about right Shaz, I'm allowing myself about 1360cals a day, so yeah, pretty much the same :) How's it going today? I'm gonna have to try these Ultraslim if they are that tasty, I don't go to Tescos so I might have to make a special diversion!

That's great!!! You are doing SO well, good on you :happy096: Really good you can do it while you watch something on the box, much better than going to a gym and watching the mins tick by as you stare at a wall, with some skinny hyper thing sprinting on the treadmill next to you! :asskick:

Oh I LOVE Snackajacks!! :party0051: I haven't tried the choc chip ones!! mmm!! I like the BBQ and Sweet Chilli. Yeah I try and have fruit as one or two of my snacks, then something choccy or crispy as the other ;)

LOL sorry, didn't mean to scare you with the incline thing!!! Stick to the flat for now, you're doing great anyway by the sounds of it :happy036: Penquin - so sorry I keep calling you Penguin, when it's actually Penquin, my apologies!! :banghead:

Hi!! SlimFast does work as it teaches you to count calories and you can eat whatever you like for snacks and dinner as long as it's within your daily allowance!! The best of luck to you.....you WON'T fail this time ;)

Well done BG - 3.8lb !!!! My WI tomorrow, I will update you all!! For some reason I reckon it's gonna be a STS, I just don't feel confident, although I know I haven't cheated!

Hi and welcome Natasha! I'm sure you will do really well :)

Hi RG and welcome, now you've made the first step, the rest is easy!! Hope you enjoy the group later :)

Hi and welcome!! I'm sure you're aware anyway, but don't eat any bad stuff when on Xenical, the side effects are........interesting!!!!!! Look forward to hearing your progress :)

Hi Jane and welcome, you will do great!!

Mayweather - that is one of the most inspiring posts I've ever read!! Good on you!!! :) :) ;) My WI is on Wednesday so won't be joining the Sunday weighers, but I'll be with you in spirit! I've been on my diet two weeks today and am doing well with it, and I ain't giving up until I've lost what...

That's good you've got lil goals you can cross off along the way Penguin!! Always helps to keep up morale if you feel like straying from it! :D How you doing Cathy Chick and Dappy? So nice to have more people on the forum yaaay! ;)

:worthy:Good on you Kim!! Sounds like you did really well, get you 35 min on the treadmill! Isn't it great when you start to feel the benefits too :D That's excellent!! I'm not even as hungry anymore either it's weird, yesterday I still had 120 cals left and I didn't feel like eating anymore...

Well done Shaz, sounds like you did really well! :clap: When's your next WI day? Hehe the Isle of Slim sounds like a great place!! Off we go! :character00255::character00180: I know I should do a diary, just haven't got round to it yet.:D At the mo I'm doing an online food and exercise...

I agree definitely with tracking it monthly, problem is, I couldn't wait that long!!! :crazy:: I think that if you don't lose any (or very much) one week,then it's good to track the wider picture over a month character00116: Perhaps chart it every 2 weeks or something and see how you get on?

Great idea Kim, bet you really enjoy it, and the best thing is you can listen to choons or watch tv while you're walking:D :whacky068: Penguin I'd love a treadmill too! Trying to just do lots of walking on my lunch breaks! Can we borrow yours Kim?! :character00115:

Portion control is the best way :eating: That way you still feel like you're not on a diet as you're eating the same foods, just less of it. I weigh everything now so I can count what I've eaten. Does your treadmill have an incline function? That's a great way to really up the intensity...

They sound nice!! :) Anything chewy is good as it lasts longer! I got some Breakaway bars at the weekend - only £1 for 18 of them, bit cheaper then 58p a time for SlimFast bars! They are 99 cals but 5g of fat, so won't have one every day.

Ahhhh Kim, so sorry you felt crap :( It's so difficult and I could easily pig out too. Good for you for starting again though, and don't worry about what happened, you're only human!!! I'm sure you'll do absolutely brilliantly, keep us updated :)

Water under the bridge Kim, don't fret, just get back on it and you'll do great!! ;) So good you've got a treadmill, what a great idea! I don't have any exercise equipment but I try and do quite a bit of walking.

Hi girls, well we're all human and we're all going to find it hard to resist temptation at some point, just as long as we wipe the slate clean the next day and move on, there's no harm done :D Penguin, my WI is Wednesday too, hope you do really well this week! :greenapple: Like Kim (10st...

Hi Penguin and DappyMare!! Welcome to the SF forum! It's great to have some new members :0clapper: Looking forward to hearing your progress and we're all here for support along the way :D Did you get your treadmill Kim? :banana dancer:

Hi Cathy, well done on the loss, even 0.25 of a lb off is better than STS!! ;) How is everyone else doing? My WI is Wednesday, I'm really REALLY hoping to lose 2lb, which will make me 11st 0.25lb!! Fingers crossed...

You'll do great Kim!! Good that you're keeping a diary on here, no hiding hehe!! How's it going Shaz? :girlpower:

:D Hi girls! Sorry haven't been about for a couple of days, but nice to have a few threads to catch up on :p You two, I'm going to crack the whip and keep you both on the plan hehe!! I'm coming up to being on it properly for two weeks tomorrow, and another WI on Weds arrrgh!

Hi Lyn, hope you had a fab hol!! We're all here for you as you get back on the plan :)

Well done piggiepigs!!

It might seem a long way away, but you will get there if youre really determined. Set yourself small milestone goals along the way and treat yourwelf when you get there ( can be non-food treats!!) :)

Hi Sapi, welcome to MM :)

Hello and welcome! There's plenty of support here;)

Hi there and welcome! :)

Yaaay well done Shaz, have u lost anything from last time? Good on you for sticking to it, we can all help each other along the road!:o

Well done Rachel!

How did you do 10stone?! Eagerly awaiting an update!!!!!!:happy036: I agree, water is so good for filling you up too! Nearly shake time for me....:drool:

Ahh that sounds nice, I'm sure you'll prefer that, it will be quieter! Have you done any packing yet? :)

Aww thanks girlies! The support here is amazing and really helps me stay on track. Spring cleaning is great exercise, just make sure you keep drinking plenty of water too ;) I don't really exercise but I probably do about 25-30 min walking a day and do climb a LOT of stairs at work so it all...

LOL I know exactly what you mean! I'm always paranoid at work cos my tummy makes these odd noises for about an hour after my shake:D People must wonder what's wrong with me! Are you moving far from where you live now?

Ok so it was my WI this morning: Last week - 11st 5.5lb This week - 11st 2.25lb Lost - 3.25 lb:D:D:D

Well I guess I should have started this thread last Weds as my first day but never mind :tongue: Anyway, today I weigh 11st 2.25 lbs, so a loss of 3.25lb since last Weds.........which is great, but I weighed that on Sunday so was hoping for another pound or two! Naughty me for sneaking a peek...

It's always exciting moving house Shaz, but tonnes to sort out I know! Just keep to the diet and do a weigh in next week as you say, I bet you'll pleased with the figures :D

Hi and welcome, your weight loss so far is great! You will find lots of support here :)

Hi Sarah and welcome! Now you've made that first step, you WILL do it :)

Hi Vicki! Congrats on becoming a mum,hope all is well :) I basically eat anything that totals about 500-600 cals for tea, making sure I have plenty of veg! Don't forget u get 3x100 snacks per day too. These can be anything you like!

Hellloooooo!!! Huge congrats on your babies!:D I haven't tried the Tesco version but heard its nice, and cheaper!! Well doneon your weight loss to date that's excellent!

Hi mumto4 and welcome to our lil group!

Well done shaz!! Sounds like you're doing well! I waa tempted to have two snacks together but somehow resisted! I don't feel as hungry this week which is cool, WI tomo!!! When's yours? :)

Welcome! You can do it, just set yourself little milestones you can tick off :)

Hi welcome, u will do great!

Mmm I love ryvita, that sounds good BG :) Shaz dont be hard on yourself!! Just get back on it and u will be fine :) Strawberries are really low cal so u can eat a big bowl of them!! Also Ieat bananas, Sf bars, Boots Shapers bars and crisps.

Hi Carley, well done on the 2lb!!! Bet u can't wait for your hol, how far along to your end target are u?

Hi there! Congrats on your pending nuptials!! Whatever diet you pick, choose one that suits you and you can cope with....come and join us on the SLim Fast forum as there aren't many of us!;)

Fantastic, well done!! :D

10st I know what you mean, I'm scared of what the scales are going to say on Weds, after I cheated by looking yesterday :confused: Looking forward to hearing about your WI, try not to worry!! Whatever happens the important thing is we will all hit our goal eventually ;)

We'll all do it girls!! Shaz I know what you mean, when I was lurking it seemed quite active so I joined, then everyone disappeared! :missing: As you say, at least we have this little group, we can all support each other and have a rant if we aren't having a good day! :character00148:

Very true! There are a lot on WW and SW but I'm sure we have more members that are doing SF too, come on peeps where are ya! We all want support and to share the weight loss journey of highs and lows :sign0163:

Sounds like you've still been eating really healthily 10st so I wouldn't worry! Hope you see the numbers you are hoping for on Thurs, but if not, don't worry, it will come off soon! :553: That's so good your clothes felt looser!! Thanks, I was pleased but annoyed with myself for doing a...

How did you get on Fitby30? Hope you were pleased and I'm sure you'll see a loss soon :)

How you getting on Carly? This forum is so quiet, somebody talk please!! :)

Hiya, hope you had a good weekend? Well done at least you haven't put any on! I had a sneaky peek yesterday morn and since Weds I've lost 3.25lbs, but we'll see what the scales say on Weds!:eek:

Hi, just try and keep focussed on your end goal, every pound down is the step in the right direction, it's easy to throw in the towel, but imagine how you'll feel if you do...keep going and enjoy the feeling of your clothes getting looser and having more energy!!

Hello and welcome! There's lots of great support and advice available here;)

Hi and welcome, well done on your 4 stone, that's great!:p

Hi and a warm welcome! You WILL do it this time, there's so much support here;)

Hi and welcome, good luck!

I tried the caramel nougat, it's ok but not a patch on choc delight !

Hi guys:p I've had a good day and been really good diet wise! Gotta admit I've got the munchies now but I'm resisting! What u up to tomorrow? I managed to Find powder banana shake so stocked up!

Hey and welcome! Well done on keeping most of the weight off too, look forward to hearing your progress:)

Ahh good news about your move Shaz! Your dawg is so cute;) hope the healthy break was yummy! 10stone well done for not pigging out, hope u had a fun night out. I have been soooo good this week, looks like we are all managing to change our eating habits for good:D

Ok I just want to praise the Slim Fast Lord for these lil bars of munch!! Aren't they just...heavenly?! :worthy: So refreshing to find a snack that it is YUM and doesn't taste diety, if you see what I mean?! Looking forward to mine at about 8pm tonight :gimi:

Why's that 10stone?! Get a shake down ya quick! :eek: Well I'm pleased to report I rode out the storm!! Can't say I'm not peckish, but I got over the starving feeling, just ate some grapes and that's it now until tea. The dept behind me have about 6 packs of yummy choc covered shortbread but...

Hello and welcome!! This place is great for support, and there are some very inspiring and heartwarming stories as you said! :)

Hey! How you getting on today? My WI is Weds, so a while to go yet! When is yours? I was about to do a new thread as I'm REALLY struggling today with hunger :( I had my first shake at 9.30 but by 11.30 I was starving. Had an apple and a bag of Snack a Jacks and will have my next shake...

Awww, well the main thing is you're on plan and the weight will come off...chin up and don't worry ;)

Hi and welcome!! Everyone is different, so whilst some people may be able to shift a stone in a few weeks, for others it takes longer, and that's OK! As long as it's going the right way, e.g. down :D

I love the Boots Shapers crisps, range between 73 and 97 cals per bag. They do popcorn too, which is OK. Also adore SlimFast choc heaven bar at 95 cals, or a big serving of grapes @ 60 cals per 100grams!

LighterCL - 22lb to lose | 0lb lost. Hoping to lose 7lb by end of August:p

Hiya Mand and welcome! The support here is great!

Hi and welcome, well done on your great weight loss! I'm going to have Vanilla Ice song in my head all day now, after seeing your user name :rotflmao:

Hello and welcome, well done on your loss to date!! :D

Get you Cornish!! Well done!! Hope everyone has a good weekend with their diets!

Well done Shaz!! Hope you have a good weekend. Let's all have a good Friday and do SF 100%:character00116:

Ahh sorry!! I am sad they stopped the smoothies! Ooh they do sound nice actually, perhaps I'll try a bar, do you prefer them to shakes? I had a chocolate heaven (or whatever it was called) as a snack yesterday, it was yummy! Really tasty and satisfying. I'm gonna go buy a million powder tins...

Ooh I'm joining in too please!! 22lb to lose,then the hard part, being good over Christmas!!!

Hiya!! What does EE stand for after the slimming world? Welcome:)

Hi and welcome!! Congrats on your brilliant loss to date!! With support from hubby, I'm sure you will smash your goal!

Welcome and I look forward to hearing more about your journey, we will ALL get there:D

Keep it up Shazza, well done! And I'm here to read your diary, so make sure you update it when you can!:p The shakes I like are banana, vanilla and cafe latte is ok. Haven't tried choc as yet but I'm thinking I won't like it. Strawberry is OK. I used to like the smoothies but they stopped them!
