Thanks everyone. I'm on day the 3rd day of my second four weeks. All's going well, going gardening at a primary school today as a community event from work. Everyone is having chippy but I've told them I'll have a sandwich. I didn't Wang to feel like the odd one out but I had a few days not...

Hi, I'm aiming for the same. To lose another 1/2 stone for each weigh in so by 18th December I want to have lost another stone and a half. I'd like more but I'd be happy with that. Good luck

Well done on your weight loss, hope everything is going well

thanks everbody :-)

Thanks, I'll get one more 4 weekly weigh in then :-)

Hi, i've been doing xenical for 4 weeks, had my first weigh in today. To be honest if you follow the rules you won't have any side effects. In 4 weeks i had about 3/4 days off plan but because i'd eaten so low fat the rest of the time i still didn't have any side effects. What i would say is...

Hi, finally had my first weigh in si for 4 weeks I've lost 15lbs toward my target. How many weeks does the challenge run for?

Hi, well just been to see the nurse for my weigh in, and I've lost 15lbs, I'm so chuffed, that is in 4 weeks and I've had 3 or 4 days off when we've had family events. The nurse was almost as pleased as I was so roll on the next four weeks. I'm going to aim for 7lbs each time and any more is a...

Hi, not been around too much, back at work and then signed on for college this week so eveythjngs been mad. I've been keeping to the diet, actually had chips and pie today because my sister was visiting but other than that only had a chicken sandwich so I'm going with not too bad really. I get...

Glad you're feeling better, my little one is always passing on her bugs to grandad, he calls her Tyhpoid Mary she's made him sick that many times. Good luck with your weigh in this week

Hi, thanks Spolly, you're right, i'm not going to let anything get me off track, and i'm not finding it that hard, i'm very rarely hungry doing this, i don't know if it because i'm choosing better foods or if i've just go used to less. I'm really looking forward to going into shops and knowing...

Hi, everyone, well i'm still here. i've not been on the boards, i was back at work and to be honest had a really horrible week at work. It's all over and things are better again but i was basically just coming home and going to bed. Good thing is i still followed the rules, it did get much...

best not to try i'll eat the multipack

Hiya. Hope he has a good b'day tomorrow. good luck with your weigh in at the doc's too

Hi, well i'm really struggling today. Not cheated, just had a small bag of dolly mixtures hoping they'd help. I'm not the slightest bit hungry, in fact i'm full but i just want something to eat. And nothing is working. I know i just want to go to the chippy and get a big portion of chips and a...

That's brilliant you must be really proud of yourself. you'll hit the 100 in no time. Can't imagine getting anywhere near that loss yet, way to early for me. You've done brilliantly do far

Hi, that's brilliant, shows that we're actually starting to make different choices. I went out the other night to and alcohol aside, the only bad thing I had was 2 slices of pizza

Hi, well not been around for the last coulee of days but still doing well. Went out the other night, kept to all the rules apart from 2 slices of veggie pizza at 3 a.m which I'm pleased with normally I'd had eaten a lot more and snacked through the night. Hungover yesterday which would normally...

I'm going to have to try them. Go shopping next week so I'll pick up a few different types to try

Hiya, hope u have a good weigh in today

Hi, well was back at work today. Not too bad, long! Kept to the rules, but haven't had enought to eat today. Was up at 5.20 to have a bath, wash my hair. Then kids up at 6, dropped them off at 6.30 then had to get to work. Hence no breakfast (excuse i know but i am the most disorganised mother...

Hi yeah it was on here, never had it, gonna have to give it a try. I was so anal when i had it, weighed the tub, then weighed it again when i finished so i knew exactly how many grams i'd had i had 230 calories. And it was delicious.

I've never done VLCD, but i know what you mean about needing that to keep the motivation going. I think that's why i'm quite enjoying not having a weigh in for 4 weeks, because i'm determined to have a really good loss every 4 weeks, instead of the smaller dribs and drabs to keep me going. To...

Hi, yeah when i had the youngest i went back to work on a term time contract, so i have the school holidays off. It's been great (apart from the drop in money) but we need the cash with everything being so expensive so probably going to just go back full time after xmas.

You need to make the deciscion you're happy with. If you know you can definitely get back on track the next day then it's o.k. I'm not that confident yet, but you've come a long way and know what you are and aren't capable of. Also think about how you'll feel. If it will make you feel guilty and...

Your welcome, i don't think any of us give ourselves enough credit for those days. I'm on day 7 and keep telling myself another 358 and i'd be a person i've never seen before. I think i'm going to print it out and keep crossing them off in big red pen

Well day seven down, and apart from the car it's been a really good day. Youngest went off for her first day of school and had an absolutely brilliant time. Told me herself she's going back tomorrow and has made lots of little friends. Even got a cetrificate for being the "star pupil" lol...

well done, congratulations on the loss

Hi, glad you're still doing well. Well both mine got off to their respective schools this week and are having a great time. I'm back in work tomorrow and really can't be bothered, have bought some meals to take for lunch to make sure i stay on track.

Hi, just wanted to say well done on you're 100% day.

Well what started off as an ok day went a bit rubbish really. Basically my eldest had an amazing time at high school and wants to learn to play the sax, which j think I'd quite cool. But this evening my car has basically given up, so undoubtably another garage bill i can't afford. On the plus...

No they don't understand at all, although i lost weight once before, about 5 stone, never got to goal and i just got offered food all the time. Particuarly my older sister, it was like she didn't want me to be slim. And then you get the, you don't need to lose anymore. Well yes i did i still had...

yep, it's definitely true. Charlotte went to camp last year for a week, thought she'd get homesick, but not at all, didn't even remember to ring me when she was supposed to, i had to chase up the camp. I founf it very odd not knowing what she was doing, but she had a brilliant time, came back...

i think i'd be the same. To be honest when it's DD 5th b'day in November i'll probably just keep myself busy serving it up for everyone else and tell littleone i'll have some later with a cup of tea. She doesn't need to know.:) I love ben and jerry's too, used to eat the frozen yoghurt...

Well done on getting under the 300 mark, that's a really good achievement.

I bet you won't know what to do with yourself when he goes. I'm probably going to back to work fulltime. Some of the schools here do the half day thing for a couple of weeks, but the one Elizabeth goes to it's just straight in at the deep end. We'll be more upset than they are, i think...

Well done on getting back on track, you've done brilliantly well so far. That's all i did yesterday too, got back from shopping, put my pj's new sliiper and robe on and slobbed about on the couch. Getting up for the school run though was not easy this morning :-)

Hi, well she's gone off to school, she looked lovely, very grown up and little at the same time. She was so excited it was impossible to be upset. I am looking forward to her coming home to tell me all about it.

U can go all Magnum P.I for us lol

Good luck for tomorrow, hope your weigh in goes well

Well day 5 down, and kept to the plan again woohoo Have to admit i've not been the nicest person to be around though. I think if i was left alone in a quiet peaceful room with a nice book and an unlimited supply of coffee then i would have been perfectly pleasant :D, but with a husband and 2...

Thanks Bunny, i feel the same way, just glad i'm finding ways to stick to it. It'll come a lot more naturally soon, i'm sure :)

Hi, sounds like you've had a great day, well done on the running i know what a big achievement that is. I'm going to start going out running with my 11yr old next week, looking forward to it and dreading it at the same time. Just be a minute jog/run and 1 minute walking to start but i'm sure...

And remember 2lb's a week is 7 and a half stone in a year, which would be an amazing amount to lose

Well done, it's great when you can see your hard work paying off

Well 4 days down now and still going well. Went into work today and hadn't thought really about food so not had the healthiest food but still stuck to the rules, had a pot noodle for example. Was surprised that that was under the 5/100 rule. Anyway feeling really positive, at the minute looking...

Only had the caramel big one's, it's not so Even I would have thought of. They are really nice. Thanks for all the ideas, glad you're feeling better, and determined today

That's brilliant, it's like having my own personal shopper. Gonna get them and see what flavour I like. It'd be good to have it when the kids have mash

I had the ryita minis for my breakfast this morning, very unhealthy but went to work and hadn't planned anything, so saw them in the shop and tried one of each over the morning. They where really nice, but not too morish(not sure if that is a word) so i know i wouldn't sit down and eat the whole...

Hi, so the instant mash, is that like Smash, i've never had it but willing to give it a go. I've ordered the Beck book, got it from amazon for £4.10 including post so hopefully i'll get that sometime this week. I'd never thought of myself as comfort eating before as there's never been the...

Hi, it's 15 grams in one meal max 45 grams per day, but no one food can have more than 5grams of total fat per 100grams.

Hi, no use with the drinks, as i'm a bit of a coffee addict, i'm sure i drink more than is healthy but i don't care at the minute. As regards the snacks, as far as i'm aware all crisps are out but someone mentioned that the ryvita minis are o.k, so i'm going to pop to the supermarket tomorrow...

I'm the same i'm pretty sure looking back that i cook too much of something, just so that i can have the extra. Because if it's not on my plate it i'm not really eating it:rolleyes: Well done o.k again today, stayed under my fat allowance with everything so, so far so good with side effects...

Mmmmmm poppadoms!

Sounds just like me, i normally make sure that when i've dished it up there is still loads left on the spoon for me to eat, and i always cook too much. Well done on controlling the spaghetti urge lol

I know what you mean, that's what i've alway done, if i've cheated then i may aswell just carry on. You've done amazingly well and you will get there it just takes time, try not to beat yourself up too badly. I think if you know you can now stay focused then waiting till next week for your weigh...

i think i'm glad they don't fit the rules. If i found any that did i'd probably use my entire calorie allowance, and more. Just can't help myself. Think in a couple of weeks i might try the ryvita things, think i'd could probably stop with 1 bag

Well day three and going o.k but had my first real temptation today. Just cooked mash and leftover roast ham for the children's lunch. Mash is one of mybig downfalls, I could eat a whole pan, normally I'd be picking at it whilst I was serving it up, and I really wanted to. And I wanted to have...

Hi, i just wanted to say hello, and good luck, i think if you're focused you can definitely do that for your 30th. Have a lovely anniversary

Hi, you sound so postitive now, i can't help thinking about what i can do, (like go on rides without worrying) theatre seats, i'd love to get my hair cut really short, like a pixie cut, but would never do it fat. It's the only thing about me i like at the minute. i'm taking my daughter to the...

Well day 2 down, ate more calories, wholeweat bread and no sugar. Also tried the purple laughing cow, which was excatly the same as the half fat version so very happy with that. I did have some roast ham today, have been looking everywhere to find fat content but haven't been able to find it...

Hi i've set a target, mainly because i need something to focus on, i've got 124lbs to lose to get to mine. i've set it for 10 stone. The bmi range for my height is 9 1/2 to 11 1/2 so i may change my mind when i get closer to that, depends what my body looks like, i've never had a healthy bmi. I...

Hi Spolly, I do thanks, for now it just feels great, I know there'll be blips along the way but it's nice to feel incontrol, not felt like that for quite a while. Just read your other post, had to tell hubby, made us laugh, it sounds just like something the two of us would do :-)

Thanks for that, I'll go and get some tomorrow.

Hi, thanks for the reply, i think i'm more bothered about it making me make better choices than aiding the weight loss if you know what i mean. I know that i will lose weight if i stick to it, but i binge, and i'm hoping this will stop me doing that, so i completely see what you mean. I think a...

Hi I'll definitely look it up. Just spent the last hour reading your diary, it's amazing to see what you've managed to do in a year. I used to think about doing a food replacement but I just know I don't have the willpower not to eat. But you're doing amazingly and are way too hard an yourself.

Hoya, thanks for the advice. Might have to try the home, don't have sugar in anything else but I've never got out of the habit of having it in weetabix. Might just try cutting it out completely. I'm sure it won't take too long to adjust. I remember giving it up in brews when I was 15 and can't...

Hi well first day down, and.................it's not been too bad. I feel a bit odd really, as though all the pressure is off, because now in my head if it's got more than 5g per 100g of fat, i'm just not allowed it. So it's as though the choice has gone, which is great and i'm going to embrace...

Well done, you'll definitely get there in the next five weeks

Well done on resisting temptation. I start my tablets tomorrow, excited but nervous. Your post about why you where starting really stuck a nerve. I went to the Docs today after always trying to do it on my own for the same reason. I've lost weight, my heaviest being 20 stone, but i never get...

Good luck with your weight loss, I'm sure we'll both be on telling everyone how it's going. Still trying to figure out the website at the minute :-)

That's what i'm thinking, looking forward to it, but nervous too. How have you been finding it?

Me too, didn't know about the t'shirt. An incentive though! i've just finished reading all the books on the kindle, and season 4 was book 3 and my favourite. Just looked up the book so if i can't find it instore i'll get it off amazon for £4, which is nothing if it helps

Hi please could you add me, i only start taking my tablets in the morning but got weighed today. I get weighed in at the doctors in 4 weeks, is it o.k to give you my loss then or does it have to be weekly? And please can i set my target loss for 20lb, as i normlly lose a lot the first week.

Hi, i'm starting in the morning, different diet, just low fat and going to use Xenical, to try to make me stick to it to avoid the side effects, but thought i'd say hello

thanks for the reply, i'll have a look at amazon, anything that helps is more than welcome. I'm hoping that the xenical will keep me inline long enough to sort out the issues i've obviously got, so thanks. Love your picture by the way, i'm watching him tonight :-)

Well done on your weight loss

Hello, my name is Donna, i went to the doctors today and got xenical. Have got the the point where i'm desperate. I found this website a few days ago and saw the threads from people who have done really well with it. My problem is I can diet, know what to eat etc. But.... somedays i just can't...

well done, you're an inspiration, especially for people at the beginning of their journey like me. Hope your surgery goes/went well

Hi, i'm going to the docs today to try to get xenical in the hope that it will help me stop bingeing on junk food, so i just wanted to say thanks for the information

Hi, i'm starting aswell, found this page when i was googling something the other day and i thought all the other stories might help motivate me. I used to go on the WW forums a lot but it's more arguements than help and too many cliques around. I'm going to post my weight later when i get it but...

Hi everyone, i registered today. Have dieted lots of times before, know how to eat but i binge, a lot, on crap. So everytime i lose weight i bugger it up. I'm off to the doctors later, don't go very often so think he'll be a bit surprised to see me, i'm going to ask for help to lose the weight...
