    4.5st/63lb Lost - Under 200lb - Feeling GREAT!

    You seem really motivated so I'm sure you'll be fine. It seems Christmas is a free for all food fest but the majority of the food that we over-indulge in is available to us for the other 51 weeks of the year (in moderation once we're at goal!) x

    Ah I know it's "allowed" but I've avoided it for the past 8.5 weeks, so annoyed with myself that I feel the "need" to eat something. Will definitely be re-starting once the husband goes back to work at the beginning of January, I'm determined to be under 200lbs for Valentine's day! x

    3 stone gone. Starting a re-feed before festivities

    Ha you're right. If I really believed I could have the same results on a "conventional" diet I'd have eaten something by now. I know when I did Cambridge my usual losses were 3-4lbs but were anything from 2-7lbs a week. Fingers crossed for a decent result next week!
  43. F

    3 stone gone. Starting a re-feed before festivities

    As I expected, I've only lost 2lbs this week. It pisses me off a bit when people who are on SW or WW have the same losses and they can enjoy alcohol/ take aways/ chocolate etc. Never mind, it's coming off which is the important thing. I'm now in the 16's too :)

    How do you eat yours ??

    I have 1/2 shake around 8.30AM soup 12.30PM spag bol 5PM 1/2 shake 9PM
  57. F

    Advice

    It really is personal preference. The soups are a bit powdery but I have the chicken one a fair bit. I like most of the bars, maple & almond is my favourite. The veg is optional. Many of us manage with just the 3 packs. If you do feel the need to eat something the veg is a good choice.

    first week losses

    This is the 2nd time I've done a VLCD and lost 11lbs in my first week both times. I think losses usually vary between 4-14lbs for women, depending on how much you have to lose and how much water you drink x
  63. F

    Are you still drinking plenty? The bars used to make a difference to my losses on CD. I could have 2 a week without it affecting my losses so I saved those for after WI and a Saturday night so they were still "treats." 20lbs in 7 weeks is definitely do-able hun, just keep going! x

    Week one done!

    Well done on your loss! In the CD forum there's a list of food you can have when doing SS+ (still a VLCD) might be worth having a peek in case you ever get caught without a pack (or even if you're having a hungry day) :)

    Favourite flavours and any tips

    Rate vanilla and choc shakes, spag bol and choc truffa bars. Hate cottage pie, banana shakes and banana bars. To make sure I'm drinking enough water I have 2 pintsm (about a litre) before my 1st shake, 2 pints before my second and 2 before my 3rd. Anything after that is a bonus :o)

    Hope you're not suffering too much, definitely see your physio about your wrists too.

    It was a bit of a joke! I got there and it was for a class :confused: but the physio came over to me before she started and said that as I had the crutches and belt already the class wouldn't benefit me (she was like "why are you here?" :rolleyes:) but when I said the registrar wanted me to be...

    Your body is perfectly designed to do this! You're doing something uncomfortable but natural (like vomiting or having a bowel movement) and your body knows exactly how to do it. Listen to what it's telling you and birthing your baby will be the most amazing experience you've ever had x

    Lol Kirsty I can't wait til I don't have to wear maternity togs anymore! Your physio should have measured your pain free gab Abi, you lie on your back and open your legs and the "pain free gap" is how wide your knee's go. Apparently they only need 6" to be able to deliver baby vaginally.... Good...

    The beauty of CD is you have a good excuse to buy new clothes pretty much constantly ;) I was shrinking a dress size a month (you have a lot less to lose than I did though so it won't be quite as quick for you) which annoyed my DH and probably the bank manager lol but I loved it!
  148. F

    Hello - andvice please

    As long as you're consuming enough calorie to ovulate every month and stop dieting as soon as you find out you're expecting then you'll be fine. Lots of people in this section got their BFP's doing food replacement diets and they're about half the amount of calories compared to Slimfast ;)

    Congratulations Lucy and Sarah! I have to say in my experience it's down to individual doctors. Some fixate on your weight and others couldn't care less.

    Hi everyone

    I found the CD that came with the book immensely annoying lol. To have a successful hypnobirth your partner needs to be 100% in tune with what you want as when you're in your relaxed state it's up to him to communicate with the maternity staff on your behalf. My DH was really cynical at first...

    Abbies Diary - Now Mummy To Gorgeous Baby Ethan

    I'd double check that - when I was looking at them in the shop the back of the packets stated each serving of the tea was 1gram, and the tablets were 400mg so the tea is actually more than twice the strength of the capsules.

    Aww watching your belly move is definitely one of the best bits of pregnancy :) We're OK, getting bigger by the day though lol :eek:

    Ah I thought your next one was 32 weeks! 36 weeks seems even scarier, that's almost term :eek: Just wanted to share a pic of my bump from 24 weeks, I definitely can't bend down now lol.

    Hope you got your appointment sorted Abz? Hope you don't have to wait too long! Abbie the next 3 weeks will go over so quick and after that it'll be your due date as the next milestone - how scary/exciting is that!? Time does seem to be speeding up just lately, luckily we have most things...

    Your scan pic is lovely, funny how big he seems now, his head doesn't even fit on the pic. Just 16 weeks ago his whole body did, such an odd thought! Hope you and your lanky lad are doing well :)

    Minime's pregnancy diary: infection after birth

    I'm having the same problem hun, thought I'd got away with it a bit but it's only these last few weeks the lbs have started piling on :( I'm being more aware of what I eat but DH goes mad if he thinks I'm "dieting" (I wouldn't!) Food shopping is getting obscenely expensive and being on sick pay...

    Hey hun, sorry I really must do better at updating here :rolleyes: Not much to update really, it would just turn into a good old moan so we'll leave it at bubs is fine (yay!) but my pelvis isn't (boo!) lol.

    My pregnancy diary! :)

    I find that I have weeks with either no gain or .5lb gain then all of a sudden seem to gain loads. I never really thought about it being connected to a monthly cycle but thinking about it now it makes complete sense! Your weight gain seems to be more or less in line with what mine was too...

    Congratulations! Wishing you a happy and healthy 9 months :) As for the cramps, the day before I got my BFP I bought all my usual sanitary products as I was convinced I was coming on, it was OH who chucked the test in the trolley lol. Get used to them, they'll plague yur life and be the cause of...

    At booking mine was 36, I even had to tell her I was high risk and would be shared care, she was going to put me down for MW care only. The only difference is I get a glucose tolerance test and see the consultant obstetrician at 36 weeks (if I weighed 4lbs less I wouldn't need to :rolleyes:)

    She sounds as bad as mine :rolleyes: I'm just waiting for mine to comment on my weight, I'll be down on her like a ton of bricks. Really hope she's better at the next appointment x

    LMAO Anne. I kinda know what you mean, I remember when my friend was 22 weeks and I was 9, it felt like I'd never get there. I'm guessing patience isn't your strong point either? :D Do you have little milestones to aim for? I'm guessing your next one is your scan? I have V-day on Monday, then...

    My pregnancy diary! :)

    There's absolutely no shame in having exactly what you want occasionally, it's not like you're eating like that every day! It's not bad that you're not strictly syn counting either, you're "being sensible" with your diet which is great :) Fab news on hearing bubs heartbeat, it's magic isn't it...

    Abi's sleepless diary :D - introducing isobel :D

    Glad you's are both OK. I like it better when wimble is down low too. It might feel like she's about to fall out but at least I can get a full breath in and eat a meal without having to drink a bottle of Gavison lol. I seen your post in Abbies diary about your MW and X-posted this: Abz your new...

    Eek 2/3 of the way there, how exciting for you, and all your scans will make the next few weeks go so quickly, your little boy will be here before you know it :) Abz your new MW sounds like a right 'un, if she behaves the same way next time politely but firmly tell he you are aware of the risks...

    Yeah you should definitely be resting, that's why you've been signed off. You're not being lazy, you're looking after yourself! Glad that if it's needed your OH can take time off, it's good for you to know the option is there if it becomes unbearable. My eyes are watering at the thought of...

    I can have up to 180mg in 24 hours up to 30 weeks but I can see their point about wanting to monitor you given the problems your son had. If it gets too bad is there childcare you can arrange so you can go in for the morphine? Good news that they are going to consider induction though :)
