BTW I weighed 10st 13.75 this morn!!!!!!! Haha never thought that would be possible :) Haven't been here since I was at school! Im coming up with some workout strategies for when I get home, I really want to focus on toning up asap but can't get to the gym easily because of my little man being...

I think the high 1st week loss depends heavily on what you're doing previously to it though, I was on SW remember that's pretty high carb so glycogen stores were probably quite full. What r u doing at the mo exactly? If u buckle down and ss 100% I'm sure you'll lose, but a stone in 2 weeks (v...

Another day done! Going home day after day after tomoz! X

Weighing in the morn Shini, I'll let u know! Not expecting much mind you, will be happy with 1lb after coming off plan for the wedding! Xxx

Had such a fabulous time at the wedding, met up with lots of old friends 'twas perfect :) was off plan for the day and back on it yesterday which was ok. We got lots of compliments on our outfits which was lovely (little man wore a black and white checked shirt, red tie, red trousers and his hi...

We have the same waist :)

Off to the wedding in the morn! Decided on the floral dress :) My little rat bag of a boy is refusing to wear a shirt though grrrrr! Bought him ever such a cute shirt and tie and tried it on him this eve and he just cried and cried shouting 'off' :( have no idea what to put him in now! We...

Apparently your body will always burn the glycogen stores (sugar stores) before protein. It could be dependant on how much glycogen you have stored each week?

Hiya love welcome back! Xxxx

Hey Shini, still holding off, having dinner at 8ish can't wait! How r u doing? x

What's going on I'm blummin starving! Roll on tea time I say!

Ok panic over! Reckon my scales are on the blink! Just weighed myself again and 11st on the nose :) :) :) Although m slightly worried that's the inaccurate reading now!?!? Weighed myself the obligatory 3 times in different places and I was deffo 11.0 ... Can I hear a yeehaaaaaaaaaaa ! Xxx

Ps im bloody 2 lbs up from yesterday morn! Booooooooooooooooo

Good point well made there lady! Now.... COFFEEEEEEEEEEEEE x

Sooner rather than later hopefully! I'm good just plodding along, so close to the 10s now I'm getting excited how sad! X

Thanks lovely :) although I've got a new target now and I'm still 9 lbs away lol! Will defo get there in the end :) xx

Well done on completing day 10 :) r u back in ketosis yet? Xx

a 10!!! Bloody nora, i'd say you're rocking it!! :D

Day 10 - Double d'd! (Done & Dusted) I weighed myself sneakily this morn and I was 11.1! Thats my lowest ever in my adult life and through the wall I was up against on the end of my CD journey last time! V chuffed :D

Well i basically want to weigh 10st 7, then stay there. So need to lose about half a stone. Im planning to stay on CD till then. I'm probably doing 810+ currently, an average day goes something like this... 3 coffees with milk 2 teas with milk tonnes of water 1 x shake 1 x soup dinner...

Omg you had a right good shop up!!! Very nice indeed :) My faves have to be number 2 and 6, you look amazing :) I think the floral one looks lovely too, but can you see the placement of the flowers is completely different to mine! V lovely xxxxx

You might find that a combination of the steps and a holiday are just what you need. I hit my wall of 11.2 and stayed there for weeks no matter what i did I couldn't hit 11.1. So I moved to SW and gained :( ..... but now i'm back to CD and weigh 11.1 and the scales are moving down by the day. xxxxx

I do weigh 7 stone, it's just my limbs weigh a stone each equalling out to 11 :P

Ah that's awesome!!!! How lush is it being able to pick up a 12 in the real world not dream land! Worth all the hard work isn't it :) I even bought something in a small today, ha would never have thought that possible! So glad u had such a bargainous trip! Soooo what did you buy, and can we see...

Nope it's a 12 :) I feel really comfortable at this size so quite happy to stay here. Do you think I could work up the steps using the calorie allowance without CD? I think having done it so recently I'll be able to do that, mind wise iykwim x

And now we can shop everywhere! Yahoo ( did I ever mention I love shopping) So day 9 COMPLETED! x

Ah thanks love, I have indeed decided to go for the floral one, and I've got gold heels to go with, and gold ballet pumps in the handbag for when the heels get too much! The dress is from Dotty Perkins, a snip at £35! X

You go girl! You'll do it :D x

11st 2 this morn :D back to my lowest weight! Weight stood still here for weeks then eventually went up when i started SW, hoping this time will be different! So that's 7lbs week 1 loss! Shamone x

WI at home, got digi scales so easier with my little man around! I'll let u know xxx

OMG blush! Thanks love :) xxx

Lol I'm 5ft 7 and official weight of 11.9! Weigh in tomoz tho so I imagine I'll be about 11.3 ish. What do u weigh now, we're v close I think x

10lbs!!!!! Wow, we'll done love! Thanks, very sweet of you x Just another half a stone and I'm done I PROMISE! There's quite a lot of concealed pudge left but If I can get to 10st 7 I'll be happy xxxxx

Yay to week one COMPLETION! Good luck tomoz, what time are you weighing? X

I reckon half a stoneish maybe :) wooooo that would have taken me 7 weeks on SW! I shall report back in the morn of course! OMG I could weigh 10st something this time next week :D x

Day 7/Week 1 - COMPLETED woo! WI in the morning, can't wait!

Ps thanks for all being lovely x

I reckon y'all are right, the floral one is more 'weddingy' isn't it. I still feel 'safer' in black, daft that! Didn't want to get my coat wet, which is obviously a bit silly, like not wanting to stir with a new spoon, I kinda like to save things. An amiable eccentricity wouldn't you say :) I...

See look, they're v different, obvs id need to sort out some statement jewels with the black dress and the floral one is pretty busy already so more minimal jewels... Gah I love my coat, want to wear it it out but its raining! What do u think?

Ahhhhhh I'm so in love with my new coat!! Yes it's the 4th new coat this month but that's me set now for all the winters ever in my nice new size :) I'm off to a wedding next week and it's the 1st time I won't have worn jeans or baggy linen trousers since forever! I used to LOVE getting dressed...

Hotty!! You look amazing love! How much do u weigh and how much do u want to lose if u don't mind me asking? X

A good shop up :) I approve! I just bought a gorgeous new coat (4th since i've been back?!) and its beautiful! £45in the sale down from £150 yay!

Check out Spangles 'Deflating The Bouncy Castle' Diary on here, she's lost nearly 7 stone and started in August :) Good luck xxxxx

Is there a quick way to find your own diary? Like a 'My Diary' button? If no ones written anything I always go through the long way...

She's a hotty! Im starting to like the do now, often takes me a while to come round :D Day 6 today, loving it!! xxx

There u go :)

Totally gorge! X

Lets see your new fringe then!

Apparently to the naked eye it looks completely fine and normal, its just that i had so much hair before and now it looks normal instead of v full and thick iyswim... So I had a trim, didn't dare go for the bob but i've had a side fringe cut in, but looking at it I might go back and get the...

Off to get a hair cut in a min, aargh should I go short? I'm tempted by a Katie Holmes style bob with a sweepy fringe, but may well just get a trim... Ooh I'm all of a dither!!!

Day 5 leeeeets go! Have a good one love! X

Away so just shout if u need anything! Minimins is so awesome I have to be here all the time to keep focused ( on day 5 of restart but not in keto yet lol) Best of luck x

Hello TarnyB :) well done on your awesome 1st week loss!!! I also started this diet a size 18, 5ft 7, 14st 10 and only like the choc mint of all the shakes :) so I know where you're coming from! I did 18 weeks on ss+ last year, lost just over 3 and a half stone and then moved onto slimming...

Hello and welcome aboard good ship Cambridge lol! How have you found day 1 so far? X

Yay nice one Shini! It'll be a breeze from here on in :) xxxxx hopefully this last stone will be off in NO TIME X

Cranberry tastes like perfume to me :P I find the others all pretty lovely, top three being peanut, malt toffee and mint choc, but that changes! The only shake I have is choc mint, and the only soups I like are chicken and mushroom or mushroom with tonnes if chilli ground in and black pepper. Oh...

That was super cool! That was my little mans first proper time at the cinema and he LOVED IT! he was spellbound the whole way through! Also that's day 4 COMPLETED awesomes x

Shizznitch! Look at you :D

Day 4 :) off to the cinema with my little man and sister, can't wait!

Morning sunshine :) we're just hoping things can calm down and we can get back to normal, but yes going back a bit smaller will be quite exciting!! I never come back from England lighter usually, way to many cold days and hot meals lol! I hope to be in the tens upon my return, that will be...

Hiya love, how are you? It does actually feel nice to be back lol! I need to log in on the big computer ( not my phone)so i can check out everyones stats, how r u doing? nearly bed time so I'd say nearly complete yay :) I've been all over minimins the last 3 days, it does help doesn't it...

Yay, well done lovely :) congrats xxxxxxxxxx

I don't think it'll make you gain weight automatically but could slow down weight loss due to the lemon juices citric acid kicking you out of ketosis. You might be ok though so don't worry just stick to it x

Wow, once in 17 days!?!? I expect you'll see a loss after the senna kicks in love! Also up your water and all will be grand. Ham is quite salty do that could be a reason you're retaining fluid x

It does look a bit like that doesn't it! I've Been here since Xmas! I'm going to a friends wedding end of feb then hopefully back to Egypt, I can't wait! I found losing weight after cd really tough, wish I had stayed on a bit longer before but hey ho I'm back and seems to be going fine do far...

Awesomeness, I'm in bed and have stuck to CD 100% :D DAY 2 COMPLETED x

Are you sure they aren't helal? All the soups and shakes are? X

Yeh same as me then pretty much, came off CD planning to maintain with slimming world but then decided i wanted to lose a bit more, really bloody difficult even when sticking to plan! A pound a week just isn't enough, never mind the weeks of gains/sts!! Hoping to shift this stone sharpish lol...

Hiya love :) Did you come off CD then? I remember you from back when! Lets defo shift this last stone ASAP! Hiya chuck, I'm in UK at the mo. Started off as my planned xmas break and after trouble in Egypt we've stayed on temporarily! Still haven't booked flights back so thought i'd get back...

Eer hang on I need to re adjust my stats... My weight this morn was 11st 8 (although I think 2lbs of that is water retention as I was 11st 6 the day before)! You're totes in the lead mrs!!! x

Hello lovely, yes I didn't think i'd be back here but to be honest I wish I had stayed here to finish the entire loss rather than assuming I could lose it on a different programme... Its been really hard to shift anything even though I've stuck on plan! So I thought 'to hell with it, I'm going...

Hiya love, just to let you know i'm back to joining you lot to shift this last stone, SW is taking yonks and quite frankly I haven't got the patience! Wish me luck and i'll be here more often from here on in xxxxxxx

I think its a combination of not having much weight to lose and coming from a VLCD to a heavy carbs diet but any who, CD to SW is doing my head in!!! I've been following the plan for weeks and actually weigh more than I did when I left CD. I KNOW that it works but I haven't got the patience for...

Thanks sunshine x

Hello and thanks so much for the welcome and advice. I am sure I'm not eating enough as I've been quite hungry a couple of times but while I don't have SW clear in my mind I've been struggling to know what to eat! I didn't realise it was 2x hex either so thanks for that! My mum told me about...

Love the purse, beauts! Hope you have a nice break my lovely x

Oh I hope so, haven't been ten stone something since I was at school!!!

Lessons learnt today... * Be prepared! Have plenty of F&V in house at all times! * Mix2max means i dont have to eat tuna again tonight yahoo! All good here, sooo excited about having a hobnob later, omg you can tell i've been away from food for a while! Nom Nom Nom :D

Ah hiya :) nice of you to pass by over this neck of the woods! I shan't be sharing me hobnobs quite yet, but as soon as youre ready for them we can have a couple with a cup of tea, fair dos? Today has been ok, although I'm sure I haven't eaten enough. Don't have much f fruit and veg in as...

Ah thanks for the support lovely :) I actually joined minimins back in august and it has been absolutely invaluable, but I'm completely new to sw so I'm so glad you arte all so friendly, I really appreciate the support from you :) Sooo anyway today I'm up 2lbs (been on a vlcd so am expecting...

Ahhhhh thanks love :) thats so sweet of you to pass by and check out my new digs! I'm loving it here so far, and although I currently have a slight gain I think its just my body getting used to eating this much again. You're doing so well yourself and truly an inspiration, won't be long till...

Thanks lovely, I'm loving it so far, had 2 hobnobs last night!?! Felt like a right rebel but I'm not actually breaking any rules lol. Thanks for the support, its greatly appreciated. Feels very weird being on a new board and starting from scratch, CD is a tiny board compared with here so I'm...

Day 2 - MIX2MAX Breakfast Yoghurt (a) 2 x banana 2 x boiled egg Lunch 1 x tin of tuna DINNER Beans on toast 2 x small toast (b) SNACKS 1 X Pomegranate 2 x Oranges 2 x Apples 2 x Hobnob

After a quick sesh of phoogling (googling on phone, do you like what I did there) thus gain appears to be normal. Apparently I should expect a gain of up to half a stone this week :O and a loss next week. Christmas well lol, right will have to be uber good then! My metabolism is supposedly a...

Right, well I weigh myself every morn and today I'm 3lbs up!! That's not good :( obviously I've been on a vlcd low carb diet previously so I'm guessing all this food us too much and thats why. Hopefully a few red days will sort me out... Any advice greatly appreciated x

This is a bit hit and miss as winging it without a group/books till I go back to UK next week (live in Egypt, but going home for Christmas and will gather SW stuff then). I've just come off the Cambridge diet after losing 51lbs (also completed the 7 week maintenance plan so ready for real food)...

Hello :) Can I join please? I weigh 11st 1lb so I hopefully wont be here too long. I genuinely dont remember when i last weighed 10stone something, but i'm guessing it must have been when I was at school! Just started SW so still getting my head around it all but loving it so far. All the best xxx

Haha, you got me there! I have infact started up a neeeeeeew diary... http://www.minimins.com/slimming-world-weight-loss-diary/247341-round-2-ding-ding.html#post4430153 so feel free to pass by and say ello, and i will of course sneak peeks in ur general direction as always :) ps i'm 11.1 too...

Hello :) Can I join you lovely folk please? What happened riiiiiiight... I lost weight for my wedding 3 years ago, eating like a bird and working out 5 or 6 times a week. Wonderful lovely day/ husband/ dress and so on, then found out I was preggers 2 weeks after the wedding!! Managed to...

This is the end for me! I've lost 51lbs, and 3 dress sizes, I did 10 weeks on ss+ then completed the 7 weeks of maintenance steps and now I'm off! Thanks for having me, take care and i'll be checking in to see how you all get on! Next chapter for me is slimming world and so far i'm bloody loving...

Yeh all good in this hood ta :) plodding along at my lowest ever weight quite happily la dee dah! These last few pounds are being a bit tricksy but no major rush so all good. Flying back to uk next week eeeeeek, can't wait to see my fam, oh and of course do a smidge of shopping :D my bro is...

You've lost over 25% of your body weight, that's incredible. Good work love ♥

What does your necklace say 'Spanglicious'?!?! I cant quite figure it out x

LOL for some reason this has tickled me pink!! What a way with words, you've made me actuallu cry with laughter, no idea why I find that sooooooo funny! Ho hum cheers love! x

Whoa, you look great lady! Gorge xxx

Ello sunshine how are ya? All good here thanks. Lost touch with reality slightly last week and diet went out window! So have decided to do the next 2 weeks ss+ to finish up my shakes and lose last few lbs.day 2 today and all going fine :) Flying back to uk 22nd so will finish up with cambs while...

Depends which plan your on hun? If ss, testes the risk you could have knocked yourself out of ketosis. Might retain a little bit extra water on the scales next couple of days but I'm sure no major damage! Omg what is wrong with my auto correct! Testes is meant to say there's ha ha couldn't...

no worries at all then, I'm not close to 9 stone! All I really want is the new books and by new year I'll be ready for them so will wait till then. Really looking forward to sw actually, got on well with it a few years ago but see things have changed abit since then hence needing the books :)

You should ask her if you can take the products but pay her week by week? Cheque? Good idea to use your scales especially as she's off on her hollibobs! X

Pretty close cal wise then! I do have 3 healthy meals a day plus a shake on the side at the mo. Looks like I'll be moving over to sw pretty soon then :) yay unlimited fruit!!! Thanks again x

Ah ok, yes that makes sense. I'm currently on step 5 cambridge so that's 1500 cals a day. I think I'll contact a swc and join thanks for advice x

Yeh might just do that! Any idea how sw should be adjusted to use as maintenance instead of weight loss? Thanks ladies x

Ah ok, do you know what thats based on, BMI? My bmi is the top end of healthy, would they let me join do you think? Icould do with losing the last 7lbs still, was going to do it on cambridge...

Could I join sw without any weight to lose, I just want to get all the books and use it to maintain my weight. I vaguely remember you get an extra hex or something? Just finishing up with the cambridge diet but don't want to go straight into that big wide world all alone just yet!

what a good idea!

Thanks ladies :) got to admit they do feel a little tight but that cho ould have something to do with the fact I've been living in jeans that are too big for me! Still :D xxx

Just have to report.... Mummy dearest sent me some new jeans which arrived today :) the most yayist part is they are a size 12... And they fit!!! Ha ha I'm so happy :)

Ruddy nora!! No wonder you look forward to the weekend xxxxxx

Oh my goodness, that's so sad. I'm sorry for your losses xxx

Where are you Mrs? Hope you're ok x

Yay hello again :) hope everything is ok love, best of luck on your restart xxxx

Someone along the line didn't use the most up to date list to copy and paste, don't worry just add yourself in again. X

We should :) we could have a scout around the sales! I'm up for it!

spangles: 14 lbs Rosebud: 14lbs Rkmriddell: 10lbs Candlewix: 10lbs Violet: 6lbs Do us a favour oh Spangley one, edit your inital post to add how to do the quote thing and to make sure to use the last update to add your info!!! You just word it better than that but u know what i mean...

Thanks sugar, lost another 1lb, not to be sniffed at on step5 lol. Another 6 to go :) x

Deffo! We could skimp around in all the posh shops trying things on then head to primark ha ha! Honestly I never buy expensive clothes as I always hoped to be losing weight shortly, now its off (for good I may add) I may just splash out :)

1lb for me, that'll do :)

Can someone help? I want to move my diary to a more private section? x

Oh no! Get well soon love, hope to god they find out whats going on xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Being a sahm, with a husband who works 7 days a week errrrrr what's a weekend? Oh yeh its omnibus of masterchef australia and christina aguilera on ' the voice', ohhhhhhhh ladies that's how exiting my life is :D

In other news, I was really sick again this week! A mental chucking up bug thing that lasted not long but was pretty violent! Dunno whats wrong with me but might look into getting some tests done as I felt like i did at the beach huts and that wasnt good!! Hoping for a teeny loss this week, 1lb...

Thats good that you're being realistic and giving yourself the time, theres nothing worse than the pressure of losing weight by a certain time and youve lost so much already the last bit'll be a doddle im sure :)

Hey you, im 11.3 too! Whats your final tarjay? x

Well the fam is in the midlands, so yes we have bullring and am stopping with my bro for a few days in london so oodles of possibilities! :D but am i brave enough to brave it in the xmas/ny mentalness? Might have to do some interweb shopping! Bit tricksy because im really not sure what size i am...

Nice one love :) Love the pink dress, v cute indeedio :) I found out today im getting a tax rebate from 2005...... £1300 so im gonna do me some shopping tooooooo! Good choice re: non cakey treat xxxx

I wish I could offer some comforting words sweet spangles but I just don't know what to say except I'm so sorry you're going through this. and I genuinely hope all your dreams come true. Lots of love and hugs xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

This is obviously still too much exercise for YOUR body to lose weight on ss+. As you love the exercise so much, why not keep that up but move up to a higher step. Or try a different diet all together that is designed to work with a big workout alongside?

I'm sure you are doing too much exercise for this diet! Either move right up the steps or stop exercising and you'll lose.

Hello and welcome to minimins :) I just worked out im on day 110, wowsers! Get through the 1st week and you'll be on a home run, its the easiest diet around the weight will fall off and you'll feel amazing! Are you doing ss? Best of luck, keep up your diary, theres tonnes of lovely people on...

Oh if only dumbbells worked on boobies lol!

I wanna get me a whoosh!

Pretty even spread for me, apart from of course my huge flapping bingo wings! They've only lost 2 inches within 49lbs lost! Mofos :(

Thanks lovey :) its rather fab yes! You must be nearly at target too? How close are you? X

Oops! You lost control, it can happen so don't beat yourself up over it. You're still the one behind the wheel though, so take note of how you feel now, and don't let it happen again!! Everything is only down the drain If you give up, so keep focused and all will be grand xxxxxxxxxxx

Oh WOW!! In 5 days?!? Awesomeness mate :) Bet you're chuffed to bits well done! Re: work nags, i had a slightly similar problem with a good friend of mine who went on and on and on about me going to see her new house and how i couldnt leave without eating and just a little bit wont hurt and all...

Yay well done lovely :) I lost 2lbs this week too, and bought total to 3 1/2 stone :) just another half to go.....

Thanks lovely, well no gym or owt, but i ride my bike everywhere and swim quite alot, have got 7lbs to go till my new lowered target and must start gyming soon! They say not to do too much though on the lower steps xxx

Ah Day 2 was my hardest day! I remember going to bed praying day 3 would pass quickly and woke up not hungry yay ketosis!!!!! Can take up to 4/5 days for some people so no matter what you're nearly there!!! Hang on in there and it'll all get insanely easy v soon! xxxxxxxxxxxx

Oi you I am too on CD! Just :) are you on ss still? Drinking enough water and all that jazz? Or is your hubby back to the fois gras treatment lol? Hold your head high my pretty, and stomp off saying yay I'm awesome and will smash the rest of this weight off asap :) x

Ooh hello you :) hows it going? Have you started new job? How was paris? Or am I completely ahead of myself? I hope I'm at target by xmas will be nice to stay the NY the new me :) Xxxxx

Weird! Try again :) We're on the edges of our seats now! xxx

Hello :) I've just mooched my way through your whole diary, you're doing fab! I started cd 10 weeks away from my 30th in a last ditch attempt to not be a fatty at 30! Don't worry about the haaaayters, just keep doing this for yourself and true friends will stand by you. Hayters gonna hate...

I'm right behind you on this!!! I would never have even started the diet if it wasnt for minimins and reading real life stories of how awesome this diet is!!!!! I would love to know how many hours i've spent mooching around here over the last 3 months, its got to be 100s :) I was so excited...

Hello and welcome :) V exciting times ahead! Have you told your hubby your doing this diet? I started sneakily behind my hubbys back as I went away for 6 weeks and i thought it'd be funny to see his face when I returned all skinny! It was :D Best of luck, you'll storm it xxxxxxxx

Lol does that mean anything?

Grazie lustrini signora!

Just realised i've now lost exactly 3 and a half stone! Awesome :) half a stone left commmmeeeeee onnnnnnnnnnnn! Hope to be there by xmas ♥

Nice loss love :) and your BMI has gone down by more than 10, mental goodness x

In that case I'd 100% definitely step up properly and deal with any extra when you get back. The steps are hard work, getting your body used to eating again, having to make decisions about food, after the ease of ss (as in no decisions) the steps are by far the hardest part of CD for me...

Hello love :) When you come back from NYC, what's your plan (back to ss to lose holiday weight, stick on a higher step of plan) and how close (in lbs) to target do you expect to be? I would suggest you ss till you go away, eat normally in NY and sole source upon return to within half a stone...

Hello strangers :) how goes it? Lost another 2lb this week so all good. I'm relying in cd less and less and a few days just had 1 product and 3 propert meals so I feel the end is in sight for me and cd! What a bloody journey :) Moving onto step 5 today! Was speaking to my nutritionist friend...

Me too! Was just starting to look reasonable again and its all falling out again aaaaargh! Oh well at least I'll be bald and skinny ;)

Thanks ladies. Has been a bit of a worry but am fine now and going it'll stop asap! Its reassuring to know that its not about my diet now, but my diet when I started so I can continue! Lucky I live in a country where head scarfs fit in! Xx

Morning love, just thought I'd stop by and wish you a happy friday! Got any exciting plans for the weekend? X

Ahh good to hear, wonder what's gone on, hope the gp can give you some answers. X

Whaaaaaaaaaat! How did you manage that? Did you do that cheeky ss week? Ooh maybe I should too! I wanna lose 8lbs! I'm grateful for 1lb loss at the mo! Well done x

Haha I do these 'tricks', another good one is moving the scales about and keep trying :)

Has anyone experienced this at all? Mine is coming out at quite an alarming rate suddenly and I'm pretty worried about it. Any tips or advice would be greatly received x

Denial is a funny old thing isn't it, I remember trying to find a before photo (didn't want to take one specially, wish I had) and thinking I really don't look too bad, now I lok at my before photo and see how huge I really was, had no idea at the time. Very odd! Anyway at leat now we are the...

Wow what difference! You do look so ooooo much younger as well as the obvious much smaller :) Well done you must feel great x

Thanks everyone! Xxxxx

The difference between the low cal fizzy colas is that coke zero is the only one that doesn't contain the evil citric acid! Citric acid will pull you out if ketosis :( you can find EVIL CA in all sorts of things so beware! Coke zero used to be allowed on CWP but officially isn't anymore. Some...

I'm not 100% sure yet, by my reckoning it'll take me 6 weeks on this step to lose the weight, so that's option a, hang out here till target then move into a new plan. Option b, finish the steps asap and move onto a new plan to lose rest of weight. I guess ill see how I feel next week to answer...

Why Thanks m'lady :) Don't worry I will never leave mwah hahahahaha (evil laugh). Im going to change my target shortly just wanted to bask in the glory of hitting a target for a few mins 1st lol xxxxx

Haha, just realised weigh in is officially tomo, thought it was Monday today!! Oh well, not changing it now :D x

I did it, I hit target :) weighed in this morning at 11st 5 lbs exactly, at 5ft7 this makes my bmi 24.9 /healthy. I've lost 3st 5lbs in 14 weeks and have gone from a size 18 to a size 12 :) I honestly believe I wouldn't have been able to do it without you lot,i so appreciate all your support...

Omeffingg! Spangles, I can't believe it, look at you! Your teeny waist especially in the last pic, amazing. Gorgeous, and congrats on everything xxxxx youre doing bonkersly awesome :D

Wowsers m' lady, get you! Well done your doing awesomely? Hadn't you started your new job yet?

Wi is monday, not sure if I'll hit target or not, but its not the end of the world, will defo get there soon! I will of course let you know xxx Ps haven't done any extra exercise, just ride my bike everywhere and hare around after my 2 year old boy for 12 hours straight every day! Thanks for...

Hiya, spices are fine to add, but if its pre mixed spices, check the carb count first. You know like a hot and spicy chicken mix style one x

Hey girlies- after much deliberation I've decided to stick wherei I am and try and get through to the end of cwp and if I wasn't to lose more do it on a different plan. Cwp is the most awesomest diet ever, but I do feel like I don't want to go backwards with it, and im feeling less and less...

Yeh ill defo check that out bettie, just not on my phone, what's it all about in brief? 10 by xmas twittwooz how many lbs to go? I'd quite like to work my way down to 10.10 by xmas then stay there forever : ) reckon that'll sit nicely on my bones xx

810 you will stay in ketosis if you do it properly x I fouls I did get hungry on 1000 but I th that was just a side effect if coming out of ketosis for so long, and having to think about eating all the day x

True dat bettie :) the steps themselves are nt well written and don't make much sense in my humber than humble opinion, what I do is stick to the calorie level and the carb : protein: veg /fruit ratio for the 2 weeks the n move up adjusting the steps as I go. Its more about replacing cd products...

Cheers for the advice lovely, I've decided to stay put and hope for the best. And lo and behold sue has gone bye byes this morning :) (can you tell I have a toddler lol) I think your right that its not worth messing about at this stage in proceedings and I can't be ars*d to do the steps again...

Ha ha, I'm starting to get delerious so close to thr end lol! I wouldn't worry about the steps, but you definitely need to prepare yourself for them, no I didn't find them easy in the beginning but fine now. Its not helped by that crappy little book you get, I find its so vague and not very...

Which step are you on ss? Maybe you souks try a higher step, I wad on ss+ and could enjoy a little meal in thr eve, meant I didn't miss/crave food. You should defo try that I think x good luck, do you have much to lose? X

Think its a good idea or a bad idea? I'm on step 4 and the weight loss is slowing right down. No huge problem but I wondered if a cheeky ss+ week would be ok to do? Would I need to restart the maintenance steps our could I just pop back onto step 4? Any CDCS or anyone out there with the...

Ha ha good call betty ! Naughty wilbert trying to screw things up at the last hurdle, men eh!! I wanna keep a close eye, imagine the love children eeeeeek! Do you think I should do ss+ week? If I did would I have to work up the steps again from scratch? Problem is step 4 Is so much food not...

Hey gracie, well the steps done properly should take minimum 7 weeks ish.aweek for step 2, and 2weeks on each step3,4 and 5. Different for everyone as it depends how long you wasn't to stay on each step. I skipped step 2 as I always had milk in my numerous coffees anyway and never weighed my...

DC could take you or of ketosis so do try and limit it, its because it contends the evil citric acid :( some people are more sensitive to it than others. I heard someone who had a slice of lemon in a glass of water and it booted her out of ketosis, coke zero on the other hand doesn't contain...

Wilbert is starting to get on my wick! He's bought his wife along, so now I'm +sue! Yes that's right I'm 1lb bloody up, will I ever get to target these weeks are dragging so much! Should I do a few days on ss+ our would that defeat the point if the steps? I'm currently on step 4 week 1. Its so...

Thanks ladies :) Im 5ft 7, have lost 46lbs and the before photo is at the top sammy xxx

AWESOME!!!! Well done, lets see some pics! xxx

Ha ha, no youre not thick I had no clue what it was a few months back but people are forever rattling on about it on here so I googled it! You know that scary as trainer chick 'gillian' from americas biggest loser? Its her hardcore fitness dvd :)

That's gorgeous though, he obviously just loves you for you and wants you to be happy, ain't nothing odd about that x

I bet he's proud of you working so hard though, he must be :D Ooh and ow are you feeling now, all better? Any news from docs? Hope you have a totally tremendously teriffic tursday xxx

Ha ha that's hilarious! Can't wait to tell them that :) xxx

No don't do it lol! Step away from the food Only joking of course :) glad to see you're being as awesome as ever my dear. When do u start the new job?

Wow, you're a machine! 100 days on ss, and 4 stone down. Incredible mate, I bet youre well pleased with yourself :) what does the hubby think of the new you? Xx

Haven't posted much recently but plodding along a ok. I have to say, I'm glad I didn't move up the steps any sooner or further from my goal, these last lbs are taking forever! My brother suggested I started a blog about my weightloss journey and over various stuff, so I've been doing some...

The restaurant business!! We own 2 restaurants. 1 seafood and grill restaurant, 1 indian, thai & chinese restaurant with a sushi bar chucked in for good measure! So I'm lucky enough to have tonnes of great chefs at my beck and call to cook anything I ask for so there's no excuse fire not...

Just thought id post the latest pic, nearly at target now :)

I was told it would effect the nutrition actually and to only do it if i fancies a treat and would have to have another shake to compensate. Im not 100% sure of the science behind that though so worth double checking. The mousse is gorge, choc mint is best ooh nom xxx

Haha I'm exactly the same! Me and my sis devised a list of top put weigh in tips years ago when we were on slimming world: *remove all nail varnish and makeup, I wear quite alot of mascara so can drop at least half pound. * take out hair bobble, that's 10gs right there, gone * which knickers...

Wow, thats an awesome loss well done :) Y:Dou ROCK!!

Yeh, no, not really lol! Does yours? He does understand all about it but it doesn't hold the same importance of course as he hasn't grown up with it being a part of his life. He does make an effort though, hell always manage to source a turkey from somewhere and have presents even if the turkey...

I think you need to have made 20 our 25 posts, your now on 20s so try again! X

Yeh that's why I kind of want to lose a bit extra before starting so I can handle the extra muscle weight. Hopefully do the shred in december to be hot to trot at xmas :) Going to head back to uk if we can find some decent priced flights, reckon the little man will love seeing all the lights...

Ah well done you too!! I really commend you as I know what sort of food gets passed about at these events! I wasn't so good and am paying for it so well done you! Hope you had a good day xxx

Oh spangles! Poor you, I'm so sorry you've been so Ill! How are you today? Gawd I hope it isn't anything to do with cd? I've heard liver problems linked to vlcds but always just shoved it to the back of my mind. Jeeesh, take it easy my love, keep us informed and get well soon xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Xmas pretty?! I don't even know what that was meant to say lol

Haha thanks love, that's weighing in at 11st 6lbs, want to get me toned up before xmas pretty then I'll be happy :) I'd much rather a toned 12 than a flabby 10 iyswim?. So might aim to lose some more flab before toning as that would weigh more no? Cor I confuse myself sometimes lol. You've...

Hello gorgeous how you getting on? Well interestingly enough re: thai curry, coconut milk is low gi! So maybe not as bad as I had thought! The biscuits and sweets all morning yesterday were the main culprit I think!! Hubby is so funny, I keep catching him looking at me, smiling. So sweet he's...

I didn't even know its bonfire night! Jeesh!

Ah yes, have been out here over 5 years now :) Its is lovely and i'm very lucky to live in such a beautiful part of the world but I do miss Sainsburys and other silly stuff sometimes! We're lucky enough to travel a lot though so we do get the best of both worlds really! Must stop moaning lol x

Official WI Monday so hopefully will be ok?! Classed that blip as my main meal so just had a shake tonight. On it properly again tomoz then up to step 4 on Monday after WI! Wish me luck!! How are you getting on Alderney xx

Ooh I love Sainsburys thats like a day trip for me, lol we dont have anything like that in Egypy sadly. And wow, an art shop I'd ring all my friends and we'd make a right party out of that haha xxxx

Thanks love :) We did actually have a lovely day out, then popped in to see my hubby at work and my little boy fell asleep on the sofa so had to get him home and into bed! Anyway, better go Masterchef Australia has just started wooeeeeee my Saturday night just got wild!!!

Corr you could hear a pin drop in here today its so quiet! All of you with a social life on a saturday how very dare you, come back to minimins and entertain moi! Our maybe I should get a life lol :)

Leave her to it, you know how this diet goes. If you have a gain/sts/small loss it'll work itself off eventually. As long as your 100% which we all know you are, it'll come right :D

Ok so I made a mistake in cooking thai red curry :( its my weakness and I should clearly just not get involved!! Had to check it a way more times thn really necessary during the cooking process, and had to finish off my little mans leftovers !! I also gave him more on his plate in anticipation...

Tis odd, I too would have assumed you'd be in for a big WL this week but you just never bloody know do you on this diet. Hopefully by wi day it'll all be on track again. What day do you wi again, tuesday?
