Heya Amethyst! I decided to log back on here after over a year away :eek: I achieved my goal of getting down to 9st 5lb, realized it was a bit too much on me/was hard to maintain easily, and settled at being 10 stone exactly. Have near enough managed to keep on the maintenance path till...

Well done at dusting yourself off and getting back in the game! ;) End of last year was very tough for me too, and bad eating in November.....December.....then some of Jan saw me drift from my target weight back up to over 10 stone :cry: I just couldn't for the life of me get any...

Hiya Anji! Hope you are doing ok, how are ye getting on so far? :) I used to be a volunteer at Oxfam a few years ago, hated being on the bridal section! Had to attempt to stuff 4 foot wide poofy dresses into 2 foot wide plastic protector bags :o Hope things are good!

Thank you Helcat! Means a lot - all the nice comments! :queen: Right! Have drawn up a list of little goals for the coming months to keep my head in the game :cool: saved as a word document on my laptop so no getting away! October Goal: Get to 9st 7lb exactly by the morning of 31st (if not...

Hey all! Am cautiously wanting to join you finally after ages just reading/lurking :o Am very close to my goals now, after pootling along nicely all year. Seem to keep losing focus/motivation randomly though (had a mini binge yesterday/a break up which = boozing the week before) which I...

True! Hope the rest of the year is better for ye :) Hmmm! Hope everyone is doing well! Seems to have gone rather quiet :eek: As of Monday I was 9st 9lb exactly ;) but IS time o' the month damn it (hot water bottle and duvet yesterday!). Had some ace gym time today, and gonna go Thursday...

Awww thanks Annie! :o no worries lol, was a bit glazed from the night before methinks as was at Download Festival :tongue: But yeah.....you ARE right in ways! The whole 'smile masking whats really going on inside' thing; that was me all over! And no! Not anymore :whip: feels good lol...

Thanks ThinspiRaytion ^_^ is rather grand! And Greta - thanks a lot! :D alas.....did have target set at 9st 9lb, which I achieved today! But about a week ago I changed it to 9st 7lb - nice round 9 and a half! BUT! Am maybe thinking 9st 5lb eventually.......that'd be a whole 6 stone exactly...

Well done Honey! As you said, its NOT a loss so all good, albeit a bit slow :rolleyes: Think am slowing too as I get closer to goal :confused: to be expected I guess (my mum keeps saying its the last half stone thats the hardest!), as long as I DO get there asap! Keep going; you're doing...

No worries Hatti! Erm, I havent really been faithfully documenting everything with pictures am afraid :confused: and to be honest, all my 'fat' pics embarrassed me too much to keep them hanging around lol. Body wise, have gone from like 38-39 inch waist to a nice 29 inch waist (so far!). My...

Gonna kill an evil 1/4 of a pound at the gym today, so that officially gets me to 9st 9lb! :D Not bad considering I had a night of vodka and toffee crisp on Wednesday :rolleyes: Hope everyone else is doing fab! :)

Thank you Shikei85! :cool: was a bit tough at first (still is sometimes!) but got used to cutting out the junk/alcohol/etc after a while so not bothered as much anymore :D Still indulge sometimes - you have to I think! But just balance it out with more exercise/less food later in the week ;)

Hey y'all! Sorry not been on; had the week from hell :wave_cry: just EVERY single little bloody thing that could screw up for me, did :cry: Ended up with a 2 and 1/2 lb gain, which I know to some aint much, but it was the last straw that rounded off a crap week of no gym, no money, fallings...

Am nearly there! Think will defo fall 1 pound short this month though damn it! *shakes fist* :rolleyes: HAVE tweaked my final goal though so getting near the overall finish line :D Plums: 8lb - 5lb lost, 3lbs to go Davytah: 10lb - 1lb lost, 9lbs to go Oasis6918: 8lb - 0lb lost, 8lbs to...

Awww Teri! :confused: hope you're doing ok x I DEFO think totm has summat to do with it; Thats why I try not to weigh around that time if I know its going on. Am sure it adds at least a few extra pounds - with the water retention/feeling bloated/etc. Maybe try weighing in again once its...

I try and limit myself to weighing on Fridays, then randomly at the weekend, but yes I can be a serial weigher! Sometimes I wake up or have days when I feel really fat/big/heavy, and have a need to jump on the scales to see where am actually at; maybe to reassure myself am not as heavy as I...

Hey all! Am getting on ok ta bubz! :) had ace gym session yesterday, then had a little drink with a cute guy today ;) And (after scales sneaking!) I appear to be less than 1/4 of a pound from weighing 9st 13lb! My first foray into the 9's lol :D Will officially record weight...

Erm....mine has just pretty much gone down naturally lol :o still smidge there if I tuck my head a certain way though! *shakes fist* I DID buy a gadget from Argos that tones your neck/chin area with mini electric pulses (affects the muscles and makes you pull the weirdest faces!), but never...

Well done Sue! :wow: Your story is brill! Huge congratz on getting to target, you're so fab! :party0011: Am currently 5lb away from my ultimate goal, soooo close damn it! You have inspired me some more :D

Thats great Teri; hope slimming world really works out for you! :) Honey - erm.....my skin is pretty much ok I guess! Never had kids though so maybe totally different. Got some stretch marks, mainly on my tummy/thighs but they are fading; I try and massage them with Nivea firming lotion/bio...

Kool, thanks! :wavey: 5lb being so close...it hasnt really sunk in yet lol. My initial goal was to lose 5 stone exactly, then 2nd goal was to get to 10 stone exactly :p now am keeping going just a tad longer as got quite a bit of 'squidge' left round my middle to try and shift :sigh...

Well done Frankie! :clap: You can do it!

Hey sweetie! I would be up for joining ye! :D I am wanting to lose my (hopefully) last 5 pounds to get to my dream weight of 135 lbs (9st 9lb), is that to little to go? :o Just carrying on with my healthy eating/less calories/exercising more lifestyle. I dont remember EVER being in the 9's...

At the start of changing my ways, I DID really try and cut it out completely. After a few days I would sort of forget about it I guess; never craved it or anything. I was more prone to binging back then so would always end up eating it again lol :confused: Recently, all has been ok, and to be...

2nd pound down for me on weigh in Friday! :party0049: Thats my second major goal accomplished! 10 stone on the nose, woohoo!! :crazy: Plums: 8lb - 3lb lost, 5lbs to go Davytah: 10lb - 1lb lost, 9lbs to go Oasis6918: 8lb - 0lb lost, 8lbs to go Roziee: 10 lbs- 7.5lb lost, 2.5lbs to go...

Ack! Not good :( hope you feel better soon and start boshing that weight away again! Tbh, toast isn't the worst thing you could've been eating lol. You may just stay the same; maybe try some fruit? Or vitamin tablets to help combat evil sickness of doom :o Good luck, and hope you're well...

Thanks very much for all the kind words! *blushes* :D everyone is doing SOOO well, you'll be posting a speech like this in no time! Greta - that is totally fab-tastic! well done :happy096: damn you being ahead of me though *shakes fist* :8855: Keep going, you'll be at ya goal in no...

Just had to jump into this thread! I been getting seriously obsessed with cleaning/decluttering these past few weeks too! Seems weird as am normally the messiest person ever :giggle: Blitzed my bathroom, kitchen and lounge as the weeks have passed (not too bad for me as only in a bedsit!)...

1 more pound down for moi! :p seems to be slowing down a bit damn it but I expected as much *shakes fist* VERY nearly at a 30 inch waist measurement as well :giggle:

Well done Roziee! :wow: Keep it up! Not weighing in till Friday, had a bloody good gym session today and plan to mooch there Thursday too so hopefully lose a pound at least this week :whistle: Realized now, if I hit this months target loss, I will be at my final goal weight! :eek...

I had so much fun on the last board, count me in! :D Not sure what am after yet, as am nearing goal. Should weigh in good on Friday so will know by then? Will just say my usual 7lb for now! :) Plums: 8lb - 0lb lost, 8lbs to go Davytah: 10lb - 0lb lost, 10lbs to go Oasis6918: 8lb - 0lb...

Up early this morning to watch the sun rise (dont ask!) :snoopyhouse: Didn't really work as there were too many houses in the way :doh: Was 10 stone 3 and 1/2 this morning! :stickdance: gonna record final weight on Friday, so NO more scales till then lol. Should be well on target for...

Have officially recorded 10 stone 4 lbs! :party0049: Waaaaaas 10st 4 and 1/4 this morning (damn you venison steak dinner at a friends last night!) but sneakily weighed in a few minutes ago (got home finally from pootling around all day getting shopping/going to the bank) and the 1/4 was...

Awww, hope you're ok! :king: If ya feeling slimmer but having no luck scales wise, it could be you're losing fat/inches? Try wrapping a tape measure round your bits! ;) Keep going anyways, doing fab! X

Well done Plums! :cool: I haven't weighed in yet this week (Friday is when I'll jump on the scales!), think am still at 10st 5 though damn it! :ashamed0005: Had a REALLY awesome session at the gym today though so will hopefully see some downward results! :whip:

I just take a multi-vitamin with iron, and occasionally calcium/vitamin D tablets. Not together though mind! :p Do have some cod liver oil tablets knocking about as well but not really that strict/religious on taking them lol

Thanks everyone. Does feel pretty good! :p Still got a smidge of a ways to go! Good luck on your quests too; am sure you'll be at goal and looking the biz very soon! :character00238:

Well done StrawberryMadness! Done it with time to spare lol :character00115: Note to self: must get a$$ into gear! :D Thanks Plums! ^_^ give that 6lb hell!!

Thanks a lot to you both! :) :) Was beginning to get a bit deflated with no one even commenting with a 'well done' or 'good job' :tear_drop: :sign0009: Good luck with slimfast Heidi! Am sure it will help, alternating the calorie intake so your body jump starts back into weight loss :cool:

Not sure what stone-age you'd have to be to get to what size as everyone is different :hmm: I think yours is a very plausible goal though! Best of luck hun :D

Awwww! :hug99: Good luck Plums, you can do it! :D

:D you'll get there! Doing fab so far, keep it up! :clap: My middle squidge is going.....just bit too slowly lol :rolleyes:

Thanks Sue! :) yes it does! Very pleased lol, just need to get rid of my squidge now! :D

I started at the beginning of the year by just walking! Made an effort to not get the bus as much, or get off 1 stop before usual. Other than that, I just did exercise dvds in my lounge; curtains closed of course! Had a few I rotated, main one I used was Hannah Waterman's one. At the start I...

Today I hit my initial target/goal! :happy036: 5 stone lost :D next mini goal is to get to 10 stone exactly, so I am currently 4 and 3/4 pounds away from that! :cool:

Thanks Tara and mismax ^_^ you're both doing so damn well too! :cool: mismax - size wise, I started off at about a 16/18 all over =/ now though, am a very comfortable size 10 (maybe smidge smaller but dont think quite an 8!) on the bottom and probably about 12/14 on the top.....sucks...

£50 altogether?! May have to have a nose! :D I gave myself rewards for each stone lost - I gained: a snazzy pair of patterned tights, an expensive lipstick, a new pair of running trainers and a hair cut :) My 5th stone lost treat is meant to be a full body massage ;) not sure am...

Thanks a lot to you both! :) frankinstein123 - I started on 2nd January this year, had a few bad weekends but mostly kept on the straight and narrow. Had treats still every now and then, kept up with the gym and got into slow running. Still a smidge left to lose! So taken the best part of...

Just a proud post to say that I have at last accomplished my major goal of this year: to lose 5 stone! :) Started 2nd January (hungover from New Years on the 1st!), weighing 15st 5lb :( had tried 'dieting' and healthy eating in the past, think the most I lost was 10lb before I gave in to...

Stepped on the scales for the first time since Monday - 10st 4 and 3/4's! :D so thats my initial goal of losing 5 stone - DONE!! :talk017: Anyways - Newgirl-x - 8lbs - 5lbs lost - 3lbs to go Donzy84 6lbs - 2.5lbs lost - 3.5lbs to go Strawberry Madness 14lbs -8lbs lost - 6lbs to go...

I think the thing I am most looking forward to/hoping for is just to be able to wear any tops without having my bit of a belly threatening to be exposed :rolleyes:

Sorry I'm late! I guess I shall join you lovely ladies! :D I normally aim for a 7lb loss each month, done pretty damn well since I started (1 stone in January! :eek: ) and only had June where I lost 5 lb; still pretty good though! Weighed in at 10st 10lb at the start of August (record on a...

Good luck, you can do it! :p Coming back here is a first step in itself, and its great you're back as you'll find all the help you need here and more ;) Are you doing calorie counting/low carb again? Have managed to lose nearly 5 stone myself - not calorie counting as such, just healthy...

This is something I keep hearing about! Sounds pretty interesting, just makes me think of going slowly lol :rolleyes: Anyone recommend any books on the subject?

Raspberries! :p absolutely adore them lol. Plus pineapple, peaches and dried apricots!

Am in the 140's pound wise at last! :party0011: just about though lol :D

congratz mduval! :) you can do it!

Am 5'8, currently 10st 9 and 1/2, and am a fab size 10 on the bottom but still at least a size 14 on top :mad: annoying!!

sneaked on the scales and was 10st 9 and 1/2 this morning! :D can almost taste accomplishing my initial major goal now! :whacky068:

Well done Tasha - you can do it! :clap:

Thats awesome Sue!! :happy036: keep bloody well going!!

Am into single figure poundage left to go now!! :D :D

Probably the fact that I am getting quite close to my initial goal now :cool: that, and the fact that I have a leopard print bikini hanging up in my lounge begging to be worn!! :D

I have a leopard print bikini hanging up in my lounge that spurs me on!! :p

Its the day after day 1 lol and am actually feeling ok! The only muscles that are remotely aching are my buns :D :D Its pretty hard going at first and I was SO tempted to switch off! Its ok though once you get into it and it'll be over before you know it :o Off to the gym today so may...

My dvd came this week - aiming to start Monday! :D Feeling a bit nervous about it but ready to kill my last bit of weight! :cool:

Thanks to you both! :D :D Still got a tad more to go, mainly on my top half damn it. Just that festival pic really made/makes me shudder. Didn't make me change till a few years later though mind! Well done with all your hard work too; looking great! ^_^

*deep breath* right! The first/before piccy was taken at a festival, (obviously!) on my 21st birthday, which is about 3 years ago. I absolutely detest this pic and have removed it from all my online profiles lol :sigh: The current pic is where I am now, a smidge over 4 stone lost later...

I drink it as and when, like if I've just eaten but still feel peckish. Sometimes I can go days without a cup though :o Think theres random nutrients/antioxidant things in the Cambridge stuff too though yeah? So either way you'll be good to go!

I dont really have any solid proof either way lol. I think there is a slight chance that it helps curb my appetite, though that may just be the warmness of the drink? I read its full of antioxidants anyways so guess theres no harm chugging a few cups a day :)

Down to less than a stone to go :cool: and am a very nice size 10 on the bottom! Just need me top half to catch up now :p

Am down to fighting off my last stone! *shakes fist* :D

Am also from Berkshire! Living in Bracknell to be precise :o

Nice shirt Dom! Rammstein for the win ;) Have managed to fit into some size 10 short shorts :D think they are a larger 10 though so gonna get some different brand ones soon to compare!

1 stone and 2lbs left till have lost my whole 5 stone ^_^

I had a few that I rotated as it CAN get a bit samey sometimes :rolleyes: my personal fave was Hannah Watermans one (body blitz?) as its based on interval training so it makes you work as hard as you can in a short space of time (20 mins I think was each workout) but you still burn lots o'...

Well done in breaking away and getting started again :) first week's can be hard, but you seem focused so I know you can do it! It will get easier and in no time you'll not even be giving the 'no scoffing naughtiness' a second thought lol I found it helped to break up my weight to lose...

Congratulations! Loved reading your story :cool: can relate as I am aiming for a big round 5 stone loss too. Am over halfway (1 stone 9lbs left to go) and your story has given me the inspiration and resolve to know I can do it :character00238:

Happy days! I can very nicely fit into my new Topshop size 12 short shorts :D not sure whether to tempt fate with some smaller goal clothing :p

According to my minimins stats I am currently 1 stone and 10 lbs from my 5 stone loss goal ^_^ happy!! Doesn't seem nearly as daunting now when I think its less than 2 stone, rather than the whole 5 at the beginning :p

My end of month weigh in was today! Am 12st 1lb; soooo close to getting into the 11's! So I have like a 3 pronged achievement! :D 1. Have lost 10lbs this month (am aiming for a 7lb a month loss) 2. Am (just about!) in the 160's, pound wise, and 3. I can fit into my new Topshop size 12 short...

Have just ordered a pair of size 12 hotpants :P not really bought any new clothes (as been fitting better in my old ones as it were) but these will be my new goal!

I have these too :rolleyes: some days I just 'feel' heavy and just feel like moping. I think Sophia came up with some good tips; try visualizing your eventual goal - how good you'll look and how fab you will feel because of it. Maybe when you feel these moments coming on, try and steer...

am at my half way point in losing 5 stone :D doesnt seem so bad when I think I've only got 2 and 1/2 stone left ^_^

well done! seems you've finally found something that works for you and makes you feel good doing it :) It'll be hard at times but you can do it ^_^

Just putting my 2 cents in :P altogether am looking to lose 5 stone also (well, maybe a bit more but just concentrating on the big round 5 at the mo!) I started 2nd January 2012, did a couple of weeks on Celebrity Slim meal replacement, then just healthy eating/exercise/drastically cutting...

Hello everyone, great to see you are all doing well :) Good idea about having a stash at work Ali! And a loss is better than a gain :o Am ok, funeral went alright but did partake in some mini sausage rolls and tiny eclairs :eek: Tomorrow should be good. My new boxes of shakes arrived...

Back on track! Am just waiting for my chicken with a bit of chopped garlic to cook for my dinner :p Been having fruit as my snacks. A nectarine later methinks. Tomorrow is going to suck :sigh: Having to be out the house by 8 to start the over 3 hours journey to southend for my nans...

Thanks ang ^_^ so much luck to you too, you can do it! Today has been ok, had a choccy shake for breakfast then a plum as my snack. May have a late lunch shake in a minute or more fruit. Dinner is a nice chicken breast but I need to restock on salad :o MUST get back into the exercise...

Ali - wow, thank you. Your post really touched me. I will have to start afresh and WILL ****ing conquer this. I dont know what snapped. One minute I was fine and determined, the next I had crumbled. It was as hard as hell but the feelings afterwards have definately not been worth it...

Polly - thats shocking! What a tosser, he owes you the price of the text message you wasted on being nice to that tool!

Thanks so much for your post :) it DOES mean so much to me but I'm still struggling :sigh: It sounds extreme but I actually feel like a drug addict :confused: I followed the plan all day, got really hungry by dinner so had my salad while my chicken was cooking. Had a nectarine just...

Hey Ali sorry you're feeling so low :( *hug* I'm not sure what to suggest. If you are using a mechanical scale, maybe the loss is very small (but still there) and doesnt register on the scales? Or if you are exercising more, your muscle could be building up which adds to your weight. I...

HELP I'm so frustrated at the mo :tear_drop: :tear_drop: Today's been running smoothly; had my egg, then a cafe latte shake for lunch. Been busy so didnt have my 2nd snack and I will have my dinner soon. Since my binge yesterday and the day before, I am thinking constantly about...

Hey all :) These past couple of days havent been good for me :cry: Lots of family crap going on and my nan also died. Embarrassingly went off the rails a bit and had LOTS of crisps, chocolate and vodka :( Trying to put that stuff behind me now, started today with a caramel shake :o...

Ack! I always seem to miss them too! I managed to order 2 mens starter packs for £8.99 each yesterday (sold out now damn it!) so I'm hoping they arrive soon. Bit pissed off actually as went to Superdrug today to buy a shake (I started with an odd number of them) and was really hoping to try...

Hello Gym-Bunny! Good luck with your exercise :) This board can be a bit slow I'm afraid! I had a walk through the woods today, may do a dvd later as well.

Today has started well with a caramel shake :) put my order in for more shakes last night, ordered 2 mens boxes as they were on offer at chemist4u. Will just not add the whole sachet to my shake I think as mens is 5g more. Will keep this updated with how I get on - good luck to anyone else...

Thanks Mellow :) putting stuff down on here really helped/s 7.4lbs - thats soooo fantastic! :happy096: I get paid tomorrow so am gonna stock up on more shakes. Changed my mind and had a cafe latte shake for lunch then a juicy apple for my snack. Just cooking a chicken breast with...

Feeling bit better today :) Didnt have my last snack of the day last night as just didnt feel hungry. Today has been a vanilla shake and had a nectarine for my snack. Lunch shall be......a strawberry shake methinks and I have chicken for dinner. Just need to think of something to...

Today went ok - had a great time with my friend (lost a ball again damn it!) and worked up a sweat. Scoffed a nectarine as my snack and drank lots of water. I have to confess - I ended up accepting a shortbread biscuit while I was waiting for my mate to get his ass in gear to give me a lift...

Samprand - that really sucks :( *hug* Dont know what to say really, I guess all the stuff about just ignoring them but I know its really bloody hard! Just focus on your weight loss effort and know that it will be a huge middle finger up to all those gits that made fun of you :)

I also have a beef soup left that I havent tried yet :) just chicken one put me off a little bit lol Good luck with the weigh in Mellow! I am determined to stay off my scales till next Sunday :o All is going well here, no problems at all luckily. Had a caramel (*drool*) shake for...

That is a spot on piece of advice Ailly :) Dinner was delish chicken with lemon and ginger and a big salad. Will see if my nectarines are ripe for my snack later :p You are doing great Mellow! Banana shakes are nummy :D I'm debating whether to have a walk later or do some west end...

Thanks a lot for the tips Happypear :) Normally I'm not keen on hot chocolate (only choccy product I dont like!) but will defo check out the flavours next time I shop. Sounds interesting! Didnt think of melba toasts. Can you get them in packs at the supermarket? Vaguely recall trying it...

Hey Ali :) Nights do tend to be more of a problem to me than days. My last snack of the day is usually fruit for dessert after dinner. My trouble is I normally dont get to bed till late and I'm not really sure about late night snacking - isnt it not good? Normally I can deal with it...

Well done for resisting temptation! :) It's great that your previous posts inspired you once again and gave strength and willpower. Will bear that in mind if I face a similar situation. Keep up the great work, you'll be sipping Pinot Grigio in no time :D

Today has started a bit meh! Was starting to feel a bit hungry yesterday night so decided to go to bed. Got to sleep then woke up just before 3am needing the bathroom. Then couldnt get back to sleep O_o so after huffing and puffing for 10 mins I just decide to get up and go on my...

^_^ tis good! Fair do's about the 2nd shake as I had that problem too. Don't see it as being that big a deal? Seeing as we follow the plan exactly apart from that. And I think I have become used to the shakes as my latte one was nicer than I remember it being :D I'm sure your bar is...

My posts are keeping me going! Yesterday was great. My snack was a very juicy pear, and the novelty of using a corer has come back to me :D Also did the warm up, high energy upper body/core routines and the cool down of my dvd. Was fun and to my surprise made me sweat a bit! Today...

So far so good! Ended up having my between lunch/dinner snack a bit late as was at the shops then stuck on the bus home. Scoffed an apple from my shopping at the bus stop :) Dinner was chicken marinated in lemon juice and cayenne pepper (not too bad!) with a big salad. Now relaxing with a...

Cookie recipe sounds yum! :p Yesterday was ok, like I said didnt have my 2nd shake but think I did ok? Yesterday went: shake, peach, celery/apricots, plum, dinner (chicken & salad) then a pear. Hope its not too bad :confused: Well done on getting to day 4 :D I get the evening...

Hello *waves* Well done on rejoining, I'm sure you'll do great! I only joined on here some days ago (I started Celebrity Slim) and already I'm loving it and finding it so fantastic to have people to share my experiences/losses/rants/random musings with :D Good luck with things and hope...

Ack. Didn't feel hungry enough to be able to have a shake :( So left it, had my water and just ate my inbetween shake and dinner snack (1 stick of celery and 4 dried apricots). My dinner will be chicken and salad as normal around half 5/6ish. Do you think this is ok? Feel bad for...

Yeah, it feels good to finally be doing something and I actually think I can and will stick to this :) I think it is true about shakes filling you up. Saying that, normally I'm fine but today I had my snack a bit earlier as couldn't stop feeling peckish =/ Had small 80g can of tuna and 3...

Ta ^_^ dog walking is better than nowt! I love pooches but I'm happy with my cats lol. My flat's on the 1st floor so only 1 and a half flights of stairs here. I have a Davina dvd to work on tonight; see how much I can do without dying! :D

5lb - very well done! :D Am pretty good ta, finally succumbed to a caramel shake :) was pretty delish, had a nicer taste than the chocolate one and reminded me a bit of creamy fudge :o Probably a plum for my snack then I think a banana or strawberry shake for lunch. Got a Davina dvd to...

Well I managed it! Did 45 minutes of my Hannah Waterman dvd and worked up a sweat :D

Ack. Thanks for the info, I dont like fudge anyways but now know to steer clear! Hope you're doing well barring that :) My tuna dinner was yum! Put a pinch of cheese on top (random) and served it with a big salad. My exercise for this evening was 45 mins of my dvd (I was sweating damn it!)...

Hmmmm. Maybe I need to reconsider :) at the mo, am fine with my dvd's and the odd bit of fun tennis! Galifreyan - thats a really good tip ^_^ I think I just went for it too much/soon so tired out and didnt like it

Thanks for all the advice ^_^ I have fruit everywhere, no crisps/sweets/etc. It's just I'll nibble something then still think of food and being hungry so I'll be looking for more and I have to consciously think about resisting. I will bear the water tip in mind too :) Not sure about...

I've always liked the idea of running but just never got into it :confused: I really like walking, normal and brisk, but even on a jog I seem to get breathless and panting pretty easily :( I did try like interval stuff, 5 mins walking then 2 mins running, etc but the running still made...

Lol @ the latte shakes! I may do that too, just to get them out of the way :P I only have a roast beef soup left, may give it a go. Just really wasnt keen on the chicken one. Ailly - have you tried splitting a huge bottle of water into a few mini bottles? Maybe dot them round the...

I have experienced this type of stuff too =/ some of the posts here describing what others have said to you are so mean! How can people say that stuff? Touch wood, have had no pregnancy questions. I think I'd die if I did! Have had very nasty remarks from people in pubs and had it a bit in...

Hello everyone! I'm really up for joining in this :) Am gonna do at least 30 mins of a dvd later, not sure which one yet. @Begghead - the stairs sound fun! I have a 13 floor tower block near me :D

Congratz on taking some steps at least and very well done in losing some by yourself! :) I completely agree with what Ashanti says. The knowing that you have somewhere/one to report to as it were is great motivation. That and the fact you know you won't be alone, you will be supported every...

Makes sense that way but they were both my fave flavors :o sods law! I started by getting the variety shakes pack online to start with. Then got the complete starter pack because it was something like £5/£10 off. I can't live without the shaker now (was using a coffee milk frother thing...

OOOOH! I think vanilla may have taken the spot from strawberry as my fave flavor shake! :D its delish! BUT! I think something maybe amiss today. My breakfast shake got knocked over by my cat (lost most of it damn it) and just now I picked my lunch shake up and somehow managed to tip a...

Ta ^_^ water has become my best friend too, which is pretty shocking considering I used to always be on the vodka :o With regards to drinking, I am finding it easier just to cut it out completely tbh. Making me feel better too actually! It's great you have your holiday to look forward...

Hello :) I'm getting on ok thanks ^_^ posted in your thread just now actually lol! Today I am focused a bit more. Had a strawberry shake for breakfast (<3) and my snack was a peach. Having the vanilla shake for lunch, probably some more fruit, then tuna steak and salad for dinner...

Congratz on starting and I wish you lots of luck :) I have only just started too, had a bit of a slip yesterday (damn you steak and chips) but I'm back on the straight and narrow today. Had my strawberry shake which is my fave but I am really looking forward to trying the caramel :P My...

Thank you! Think I'll need all the support I can get :) Am currently on the Celebrity Slim diet. Combined with general healthy eating I'm hoping it'll give me a boost as I have a lot to lose. Also partaking in much more exercise. I'm doing pliè squats everyday, some weight work and I have 6...

Thanks a lot :) already liking it and really appreciate peoples comments/reassurances am hoping having like minded people to share my 'journey' with spurs me on even more and gives me the power to stick to things ^_^

I just need some feedback/advice really :o I left my job just under 3 months ago and since then, I have put on the weight I lost whilst working and then some. I am trying my hardest to find work, applying everyday and such. It's just the sitting round (as it were) thats getting to me...

Thanks very much :) think I'll need all the encouragement I can get! Well.....dinner went out the window =/ my mate invited me out since he's just moved house. Went to a local pub place and I'm ashamed to say I had steak and chips :( I left probably a third of the chips (not too many...

I'm Sarah *waves* and I have decided to FINALLY do something about my weight! Am over half way through my 1st day on CS. It's going ok! Tried it before but I wasnt in the right mindset so I ended up giving up :( Back on it now with gusto! I had started eating more healthily already and...

Just thought I'd say lo and introduce myself :) I'm Sarah *waves* and I have decided to FINALLY do something about my weight. I'm 23, but have been overweight since my teens really. Have tried other diets, and even just trying to eat healthily but I always seem to give up :( I kinda...
