I love the first weeks weigh in, 10lb loss! :D

I use a hand blender but still have a funny taste to me! I think I lost around 1 and 1/2 stone before, but didn't stick to it! thanks :D

Good job there is variety then isnt it! Not at all keen on the shakes and i often get lumps and tastes grainy to me, but i could (almost!) live on the tetras! Usually not keen on banana flavoured things but i think that one is my fav!! not my first time,but also first week. Weigh in tomorrow...

Is this your first week? it does feel like that at times, one hour, one day at a time! It's nice getting to the end of the day and realise you've done it!

Not too bad, it's quite nice to eat in the evening, but I'm not very imaginative creating nice meals nor do I like fish at all! not keen on the shakes, I do like the cartons, so it's going ok! How you getting on?

If I write it down hopefully that will spur me on! I have tried so many different diets, the last being lipotrim but now back on cambridge diet step 2. Joined yesterday so first full day today. i need to lose 3 stone to be eligible for IVF. Things keep getting in the way (probably subconsciously...

So now decided to go back to cambridge diet. I struggled so much on lipotrim with the limited packs and I just need to eat some sort of food! I don't seem to have the will power to stick to anything, but at least I keep trying I guess!

So, only 1lb this week. Still a loss and TOTM so feel crappy, bloated and painful belly! Wanted to lose 2 stone before seeing folks next week, but not sure now as I have 5lb to lose, but gonna give it a go! i know every week is a loss, but still feels a slow painful slog!

I'm not quite sure when to start exercising! I don't wanna get baggy parts lol

Thank you I struggle to mix the chocolate one enough so there aren't silly bits in it, and usually I always go for chocolate in any form! I don't mind the strawberry one but finding the vanilla far too sweet and makes me gag! so pleased with 20lb. Got two weeks before I visit the folks, would be...

So weigh in night and lost another 4lb. I haven't even started any exercise yet I'm chuffed! 20lb gone, another 8 for second stone. It's a struggle these shakes are minging lol, but it's lovely to see it shifting!!!!

I know that feeling there's always something to get in the way of starting! I did Cambridge for a while, didn't work out coz I had a run of social engagements typically but yes I like all the steps on it too, and I still lost the same amount of weight! Too much choice and too little will power!

Well done, there is no feeling like that first weigh in! I'm struggling at the mo as the shakes are making me gag slightly!!! I'm on black coffee and have to say that in his heat the peppermint tea is quite refreshing! Lady grey is good for black tea it has a good taste, just don't leave it in...

How are you doing!? Have you had your first weigh in yet!? I've had a couple of days feeling awful, like I want to be sick, headache. It does pass. One day I really couldn't drink anymore than I did so it wasn't that. Good luck and keep going!

It's a shame not every weigh in is as good as the first! Lost 1 and 1/2lb today. I always seem to have a low week so not stressing, and I've done no exercise this week as caught up in Wimbledon! Hopefully once I start that it will help! Good luck with your WI!

Second weigh in 5lb off, I can't believe it. A weekend of friends BBQ and gig at Milton Keynes bowl with lots of temptation! Resisted it all, I can't believe 5lb off. One stone down and already into second stone!

:D Thanks!! I'm so chuffed!

Thanks guys, really appreciate the support! so weigh in, lost 10lb! I'm over the moon while feeling really empty lol nearly stopped off at shops for a treat but I didn't! Hoping I can lose 4 next week now!

Thank you, I just felt awful and so emotional. Went to bed early in the end! Today is another day and I'm hopeful for a lovely big loss for my first weigh in, so that will definitely spur me on! Totally felt at my wits end!

So, one day off my first weigh in and I feel awful! I feel like I've drunk loads yet feel so empty. Can't face anything more to drink right now! Also second day of TOTM and although feels different, I'm thinking the stomach pains are from that. Seriously hungry and actually contemplating opening...

Thank u I shall go and have a look.

Can I drink elderflower with water? I know flavoured water isn't allowed, but elderflower has flowers in it so nothing artificial, and main liquid would still be water!

I did it for a while before our honeymoon in march. I HATE total body workout but the rest are good if knackering! I struggle to keep going and it's only 25 mins! Now waiting for Hip Hop Abs!

Hi all, I have just started this crazy journey day 2 just about done. Yesterday was easy today I have felt sick, fed up and massive headache! Hoping that's the worst of it! Got about 4 stone minimum to lose before we can consider ivf so I have GOT to do this! Also not my first time trying to...

So, after wasting the last year floundering and putting all my lighterlife weight back on, I am back again, my last chance saloon to lose weight for IVF. Start lipotrim on Wednsday and having second day illness, with headache, grumbly stomach and just feeling crap! Still, been here before with...

+1lb that's not a good start to sept weigh in is it!

Just to update my weigh in will be next week as counsellor is off this week. Not done great but will update next week with a 2 week loss for sept

I'm in about my 6th week and have lost 16lb so far. First goal is 3 stone. Totally missing carbs and that was all I wanted on the most evil of TOTM ever!

Is it too late to join!? I need some motivation! I assume this is our aim loss for the whole month? Ktlou - 14lbs FSO - 13lbs Marthacol1988 - 14lbs Mizkirsty - 12lbs - lost 2lbs 10lbs to go RuthG - 18lbs -6lbs (12lbs to go) Xtracute1 - 20Ibs Kirst1710- 12lbs xxmariexx - 14lbs >Monica88 -...

So a 4lb loss this week, that's the gain from last week due to very evil monthly plus one more! counsellor is off now for a week so no weigh in for 2 weeks. Here's hoping for a lovely big loss next weigh in!

Well you should have a good loss by November! It's my 40th next year and belated honeymoon. Def want life to begin at 40!!!

Oh and I can totally sympathise with starting and not finishing, in the last year I have done rosemary Conley, lighter life, weight watchers and slimming world! I need a fast loss rather than the slow and steady at the moment and like having "proper" food daily :-)

Hi and welcome! I am into about 6 weeks and still struggle daily! I guess the key is take each day separately that works for me and each day is like a mini goal! I am also doing exercise classes which definitely helps me! Good luck I find it easier to break it down into smaller goals and lost 15...

Well there aren't many ideas in the booklet so I thought the recipe would help and have more ideas and esp as you work your way up the steps! I was having the same thing all the time salad or mixed veg with tuna or chicken before i got the recipe book and getting bored quickly!

I HATE fish! Not tried the last fish one but u can use chicken and I did the oriental prawn one which was actually not bad. I have brought the recipe book which has a few more dishes. But they use a lot of chilli in one dish! I struggled but hubbie loved it lol The Indian dhal soup is really...

That's the reason I'm doing it for a quicker loss. There are many steps to it so you have to pick what is right for you. Step 1 is all packs whereas step 2 that I'm on means I can eat protein and veg in the evening. I managed to lose a stone in 4 weeks which I hoped for but didn't think it would...

Join in !!! Not doing too well put the 3lb on again but it's been a hell week with emotions and female crap so I'm not at all concerned! That will be off again next week! Yup doing step 2 mainly because I didn't want to stop my exercise classes! How about you!?

Another 3lb loss. One stone 1lb in 4 weeks wahooooo!

Another 3lb off so 2lb away from first stone!!! Whoop whoop !!

Where are you from!? We have two gym places here one you have to have membership but the other you can just do the classes and they are fab! I'm in Cambridgeshire!

Aw no loss this week but I haven't drunk enough at all :(

Thanks :) I'm still in shock!

Not quite falling off, only second week as I started on step 2 but what an incentive! Oh god all that shopping!! Hahaha And had first mousse today not at all bad!!

I can't quite believe it! On step 2 too! Nearly cried when I saw her scales drop into the lower stone!

So first weigh in today and a loss of 9lb! I am in shock!

Well I did exercise before I started this diet and didn't want to stop so incorporated it so I could do step 2! First weigh in today and I am still in shock 9lb loss for my first week! WTF!!!!!

Just done an exercise class and now trying to summon the energy to crawl upstairs for a shower! Better today first week over and that soup is yummy definitely making that again! How you getting on this week!?

Good luck with your journey. Im in the same boat got just over 3 stone to lose for IVF and I need to do it by November! started Saturday and doin step 2 as I do a couple of exercise classes that I didn't want to stop. I have found first week hard, extremely hungry yesterday and have carb...

Starrrrrrrrrrrving! It's taking forever to make this Indian soup, better be nice after all this? I started hours ago!

I am a creature of habit too not adventurous at all with the shakes and bars! Found 4th day (yesterday) hard completely craving carbs :( and despite so much water and coffee I was reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally hungry! Hoping for a better day today!

I definitely fancy them thicker so will need to route in the back of my cupboards for it!

Lol poor thing hope it is watching you and your hunger pangs carefully!

I will have to try that with the shakes just to vary it up a bit!!!!

I think I'm needing to try blending with ice everyone mentions it so in this weather I think it's a must!

I had plain omelette with mushroom spring onion and green pepper. Just used to cheese and meat with it!!!! I am working my way through the shakes but struggling a bit! May have to get my smoothie maker out and blend with ice like I've read others doing!

Finding first week hardest coz you gotta work out what you like or not, still 3rd day in (and 3rd of time of the month) and still not caved in so I'm chuffed! Despite DH having god damn hit dogs tonight they would have been lush in my omelette! I'm not very adventurous with the shakes do you...

So first week in, finding it the hardest coz you gotta work out what you like or not, still 3rd day in (and 3rd of time of the month) and still not caved in so I'm chuffed! I'm not very adventurous with the shakes do you blend them with ice and less water? Had omelette today was ok but very...

Oooooh may have posted in the wrong one! Sorry!

I'm not very adventurous with the shakes do you blend them with ice and less water? Had omelette today was ok but very bland I just need to experiment more!! Had a bit of the orange bar when I got in from work and love it! Was thinking the bars were all the same but I love the smooth orange one...

??? that is something I have yet to drool over!!!!

Good luck with your continuing journey too ?

Oh I will do don't worry about that! Prob moan a lot too every time I salivate at the food on the tv!

Definitely it is motivating being on here with other s in the same position. Onwards and upwards trying to take each day slowly and not think about it too much!

I look forward to my third day tomorrow then, Monday and at work I hate Mondays at the best of times!!!!

Me too! Combination with time of the month pain is not pleasant! And taste buds need to adjust a bit but second day in and ok so far lol

Pressed button too soon! Meant to say good luck with your IVF loss too! May be spur each other on,

It should spur me on but I've found it harder having that goal to aim for! But now I'm in the last chance months to lose its spurred me on again. First day over with!:rolleyes:

Not long to go at all! First day done and first day of time of the month so a rubbish combination but done. Celebrating with a glass of water and a cuppa lol

So just had first actual meal on step 2, god there's a lot of protein and I actually missed more veg! Never thought I'd say that!! ?

Can't wait to see the weight fall off although I have to say first day is tough as its first day of that certain time of the month and I just want to eat !!

So collected my products and start tomorrow wahoooooooooooo!! Someone weight time to get off my hips!

I don't find the new combat much fun but it is a good workout it never gets any easier! I like the cheesy tracks coz I sing along and don't focussing on dying in each track! Lol

Thank you, I'm hoping for great things and I always feel more motivated when the loss is quicker!

Another newbie to Cambridge diet. I start on Saturday after I get the lovely GP signature! i have initially just over 3 stone to lose to get t my first goal, and be accepted onto the IVF waiting list :eek: after that I hope to continue and get my first ever bikini bod (apart from when I was...

Blinkin love body combat but in this heat wave I only need to do the warm up and I've sweated that much I look like I've had a shower :eek:

I don't know I'm rubbish with DVDs at home I don't work as hard! There's a new wii "game" that I want UFC something and it's a lot of kicks and punches. I love the zumba wii or I have old salsacise DVDs I love. Depends what you want! I'd never do kettlebells at home prob cause myself an injury! Lol

Lol yes he does!!!

I am still in pain from my class on Tuesday and have topped up that pain with body combat tonight!!! Ouchie! There's only about 12 in the class and she did seem to be watching everyone a lot. I'm hoping it gives me results soon I'm not good with voluntary pain!

Would a dry fish not work!? Lol I can see she's a bit annoying and having two vamps after her !! I do want to slap her at times but mostly shes ok. Sometimes stefan annoys with his moody look but generally I love it all and can't wait for each week. I have no idea why I love it so much!!!!!

Good for you! just enjoy and no one needs to know or see you if that is what is holding you back! I hate seeing myself at classes so never stand in front of the mirrors but I still go for it when I'm there!

Awww he is sweet but I do like a bit of bad boy vampire! I quite like caroline now as well

Lol thanx I feel like jelly today so work is gonna be fun!!! But I did kind of enjoy it!

OMG did my kettlercise class tonight and I huuuuuuuurt!!!!! My legs mainly I cannot walk up or down stairs lol havent ached like this for ages!!!!!

Is it knackering but noone can see you so you can kind of go at ur pace!!!!

Whoooooooo hooooooooo!!! Lol

I think the simply satisfying is what I have and I want the one pot. I like things to be simple and using one pot sounds ideal!

Oh meant to say good luck!!! I got a new cook book plus the oriental one not tried anything yet but some sound yummy. Been watching the great British bake off so wanna bake now which is. Not good!!

Forgot to add my second weigh in which I put on 3.5lb!!! Time of the month and I have a run of too many weekends away! Eeeek not good

Aw thanx guys I'm used to being a big sweaty mess so that doesn't bother me! I've heard it's a good exercise and be good for my bingo wings lol! I thought you were a bit mad to live it!!! I think I will give it a go don't expect my weights to be high but anything to help speed up burning away my...

Has anyone tried kettlebells or kettlercise? My gym has started new classes and intrigued. I have no doubt it is going to hurt A LOT but surely it can only mean good things!!

My arms are still officially dead but I did really enjoy it bizarrely!!

OMG that new combat release is a KILLER!!!! I am still achy and jellified and been home 2 hours! Those press ups just about finish me!!! LOVE it tho lol

I have zumba for the wii and I love it! But I also go to a class. There's only 6 of us and I am the biggest but I also know I am one with better coordination so am not worrying so much on how I look! I love it I sweat so much lol

Oh don't get me wrong badboy Damien everytime but Jeremy has just grown up ;-)

Aw thanx guys I was v surprised coz I had a party at weekend and then hangover food lol but tracked everything. I'm so chuffed!!!

First weigh in last night and lost 4lb! Can't quite believe it as I've gone over my allowance every day and the extra weekly allowance went at the weekend!!! But so very happy, now for a 3lb push for 1/2 stone in two weeks!!!!!

Yey!!!! Although everything I watch is going to start again now and clash!!!!

Ok I think I understood all the points and am tracking them. A night out for my sisters birthday and the day after hangover munchies hasn't helped lol but so far I seem to understand it! Will see on Wednesday!!

YES That is exactly what I had bruised butt and bruised lady's bits lol. That's what I hated!

Still waiting for the new release got a couple of weeks to go I think! Still hard work tonight made myself feel a little bit sick :-( never sure if that's good or not!!!

Well got all the info last night now need to get my head around the points thingy!!!

Jeremy has grown up and gotten cute! But it's always the badboy vampire!!!

I'm in Huntingdon!

I don't know why but I blimmin love this show! I hate waiting absolutely ages for the new series!!!! Can. Not. Wait!!!

I'm enjoying it actually because I can so see me in her (although other half said I'm not in denial as much as she is)! The nutritionist actually put me off last week she bombarded with science and I'm not surprised Claire had a blank look on her face, I did too!!! It's encouraging to see how...

I'm expecting the new release on Thursday when I go so hope I can keep up lol

I'm determined to try it again. There are so many classes it must be worth doing!! I just dont like sitting on those bikes and I thought I had enough padding of my own lol... may have to get a gel seat or something... anything to help speed up my fitness!!!

I have just started a brand new class and there were only 6 in our class! The room is very small as well so we couldn't have loads but it is a little daunting being that close to the instructor all the time and she can see everyone!!! Loved it tho ;)

oooh good luck to you too, good to see someone else starting this week!

After nearly two years with Rosemary Conley I have decided to try Weight Watchers for the first time as it's way more local and easier for me to get to a class. Never done it before but feel a bit stuck in a rut so thought a change would be good. First class Wednesday!!

Lol I struggle with combat sometimes with all the punching as I have RSI thru work and it really affects my whole arm and shoulder by the end of the week, so can't even contemplate pump!! I'm doing a new combat at my sisters next week and I think she's making me do pump too, so I may be saying...

I do notice when I miss a week or so that I reeeeeeeally struggle lol. Dreading the new set already! Can't imaging drummer boy in zumba but want to do that now!!! Pirate is never overplayed lol

I have been doing combat for about a 9 months now and I love it! I got so bored with aerobics so now doing combat twice a week and zumba once a week and then squash with partner! My fav track was alesha drummer boy but instructor didn't like it so we didn't do it much! I love pirates of the...

Well done it's an amazing feeling fitting into a smaller size isn't it! I started out last January a size 24/26 just, and this week I have treated myself to a new jacket size 20.... And it fit!!!! I was so excited!don't think size 20 trousers will fit yet, but it feels like "normal" sizes are in...

Aw good luck. I am also losing weight to try for a baby, hoping to conceive naturally but not happened yet and I'm not gettin any younger!! Good luck and everything crossed for you!

Hi all I am new to this forum and have been dieting since January 2010. It's a slow process having lost only 3 1/2 stone but at least it's off!! I have been doing Rosemary Conley but next week trying weight watchers for the first time! With many fitness classes of course!!
