Ignore them. I thought it was MENTAL that we were allowed to eat pasta and potatoes. Totally cuckoo. Went along with it in an amused, rather supercilious way. And...kept losing weight. It really works! And yay, pasta and potatoes! Good luck :)

Ooh, as for length, it's normally after maybe 5 days average?

There are a few things - you'll have more energy, you won't feel hungry (apart from at "normal" times), and you'll have a disgusting taste in your mouth, especially in the mornings! I usually compare it to rotting fruit, ha. Lovely, I know, but drinking lots of water helps. The sticks are...

I'm pretty sure that if people are snacking it's coming out of their daily allowance on Lifestyle. As for a longer list of foods, you should register with the S&S meal planner (think the link is in the booklet) as this has a massive list of all allowed foods. It's SO much easier and far far...

Another couple from the past week or so :) This is SO filling and so nice! My OH was amazed at the amount I had made for saying I'm on S&S: SAUSAGE PASTA BAKE Ingredients: 2 Quorn sausages 75g leeks 75 broccoli 1 shallot 25g Quark 1 Cheesy Pasta pack Chop the shallot, leeks, broccoli and...

MamaC. -10lbs (0lbs lost. 10lbs to go) Noodles1609 14lb (0lb lost - 14lb to go) Rach1001 - 12lbs (0lb lost - 12lbs to go) choufleur - 14lbs (0lb lost - 14lbs to go) Not done one of these yet, is a good idea to keep me focused :)

Evening all! Thought I'd share some things I've made recently with you that have turned out really well and tasted bloody amazing, if I do say so myself. It's so nice to be on a VLCD where I can make and eat these things :) Unfortunately I don't have photos, as I ate them too fast... I used...

Congratulations on your loss in the first week! :) Good luck with the rest, you'll get there :)

Breakfast - red fruits shake (boring) Lunch - chicken curry noodle soup (added extra curry powder) Dinner - 2 x packs of cottage pie I really wanted hot foods today. Weather was so miserable. Managed to power through a MASSIVE temptation bump. I was feeling pretty low then had a bit of a row...

Second and third days were absolutely fine. It's easier getting back into it this time than it was a few weeks ago, which is never normally the case for me! TUESDAY Breakfast - vanilla shake with coffee Lunch - bar bits Dinner - tuna, spring onion, chilli pepper & green pepper chopped v small...

I bought a Twinings pack the other day which is absolutely gorgeous - Butter Mint Sensation. It tastes like humbugs :) I asked on the S&S website and they confirmed it's ok to drink, just not to go overboard as it has 0.3g of carbs per 100ml. It's a really nice treat!

Good first day back on! Breakfast: caramel shake Lunch: crispy chocolate shake Dinner: tuna, lettuce, broccoli, green pepper, spring onion & olives / crispy chocolate shake Today I'm going to the mums & babies cinema screening of Star Trek, so challenge one presents itself: avoid popcorn. I...

Okay, so that was a rather longer break than I'd planned... Basically, after our trip away at the BHol we were going on holiday in 4 days, a holiday that was going to involve lots of being out & about where, after thinking it through properly, doing the diet 100% wasn't going to be a...

Thanks for the well wishes! Headache did fade, thankfully. Today & yesterday have been similarly fine as all other days. I've been hungry, but only around the times I'd be eating anyway. Definite ketosis taste in my mouth in the mornings now! Yesterday Breakfast - caramel shake + coffee Lunch...

Thanks guys! Etch, I used to be really afraid of that too until I did step 2 on Cambridge & really loved it. The weights give me the same kind of restrictions as just having shakes so it doesn't bother me too much. Swimming was good, we're just doing lessons weekly until my son's used to it...

Well, today it has been officially one week since I began. Like an idiot I didn't weigh myself last Monday. This morning the scales are all over the place - got a different reading every time I stepped on them in two different places. Annoying. I almost miss my CDC for her scales, as at least...

I know exactly what you mean about the judgment. I passed on an evening at a friend's house on Friday because people were bringing dishes of food & I didn't want to have to explain over & over how the diet works and why it works for me over any other. It does sound extreme and faddish, but it...

Those are some really good points that I hadn't thought of, thank you EtchaSketch :) This morning I went clothes shopping. Obviously I haven't lost any weight really yet, but my full pay whilst on maternity leave ends this month so I figured I'd get some clothes to see me through the next...

Glad the two packs trick worked! It really did for me, looks a huge amount & also feels it in your stomach, all lovely and warm :) Hurrah for compliments! I know what you mean by the "looking well" comments...but at least your hard work is definitely showing. I'm also freezing at the...

So I had another pack fail today - Sweet Porridge. YUCK. I adored the Cambridge porridges and ate them every morning, but this... *shudder* It was like salty, yet somehow bland wallpaper paste. I added some cinnamon in an attempt to make it nice, but it was still unbearable. Those packs have...

Thanks! Part of the reason is that I literally have nothing to wear but maternity clothes - I threw away all of my "big" clothes just before I found out I was pregnant, so that's a big motivator. We DO have a lot in common, almost freakishly with the coriander part ha. Disgusting isn't it...

Congratulations!! That's brilliant, well done :D

Congratulations on the loss! And good luck with the 5k program, I honestly can't ever see myself running so am in constant awe of those who get into it!

So yesterday was fine, although I'm expecting a headache at some point as I'm sure I normally get one around the 4th or 5th day. I am a bit worried that I don't have the ketosis taste in my mouth yet...I'm sure that's normally landed by now :-/ Another "Well Done Me" yesterday - went to a Café...

Thanks! He's nearly 5 months which has given me a couple of advantages (no food in the house for him, lots of walks etc) however I've just remembered that I'll be starting to wean in a month or so and am now worrying how hard that will be if I'm not eating the food too to convince him to do it...

Gosh today was hard. I think it was mainly because I had my breakfast shake (hazelnut) so early, that it was then a fair stretch until lunch. Managed it though. Lots of water and distraction techniques...thankfully it appears a baby is the ultimate distraction technique!! This afternoon my son...

He wasn't actually too bad! Fell asleep at 6pm & had a few occasions of waking up chuntering but he put himself back to sleep & slept until 6am as well. So nowhere near as bad as I'd feared! Thanks, and you too!

I also came to the theory that writing about the diet may make it easier to stick to. We're in the same boat too - I was on Cambridge, then got pregnant, and now am trying to lose everything I put back on...rubbish. Good luck! :) (Your baked goods sound DELICIOUS by the way)

Yep, that was exactly my story today! Little ones eh, they're so sensitive when it comes to sleep :) Thanks! I felt very good for it. No point in missing out on things like that, just need to stay strong about it all.

Well Day 2 has gone swimmingly too. Went for a lovely walk along the Thames in the sun with some friends. We called at a pub so they could have some lunch, but I was very good and just sipped on water. Breakfast was a caramel shake (YUM!) and I had a chocolate one when I got back from the walk...

Thanks slim_and_happy and LifesDesire! First day HAS gone well. Got up & had a pint of water before putting my little one down for his first nap. My S&S package didn't arrive until late afternoon so breakfast & lunch was two of the Cambridge packs I have left from last year, strawberry shake...

Thanks both! Am psyching myself up as I type. Bit concerned about being able to manage all the water since I have to run around after the little one all day. I guess I'll see tomorrow!

I was kind of active on these forums late 2011/early 2012 when I was doing the Cambridge plan. Discovered S&S in about Feb 2012 & mixed the two until the April. From Sep 2011 until April 2012 (with many breaks e.g. birthday, Christmas etc) I managed to lose around 4-5 stones. Typically, just...

Evening spangles :) Unless the DVLA has applied for a CCJ against you for the fine, I'm pretty sure it won't affect your credit score as any fine they levy isn't "credit", really. It'd be the same as if you got a parking ticket and didn't pay. However, you may want to take out a free trial...

Great minds, haha :D And...yeah, I hope OP here isn't offended! Glad you enjoyed it Chelles :)

Hope it turned out ok with the 250ml. Mine's always been nicely firm but I do tend to leave it for up to 45 mins in the fridge :)

I always use about 250ml of water, and it has to be very cold! Blend it for ages too or you may get lumps and feel a bit disillusioned as no lie, the lumps are godawful. Let us know how you like your moose. I like mine braying in the woods ;)

Every time I've done this diet I've had Coke Zero. It keeps me going, doesn't affect my losses and doesn't make me hungry, BUT that is just me. Other people could be different and I can understand the arguments against it. I only recently discovered Dr Pepper Zero has no citric acid in it...

GOSH I really didn't think I was going to like this. I'm not a fan of coconut milk at all and it smelled very coconut milk-y, but y'know what? It's not actually too bad :)

Spangles lady I think your good luck vibes were definitely the key this evening! :D Was expecting to have put on 2lbs and instead I lost 2lbs! Never been so happy to "only" lose 2lbs, heh :) I got a couple of Oriental Chilli soups...hated it in 2007 but I didn't have a blender back then so I...

I thought I'd been too lucky for too long! Not one person has given me the whole "it's a dangerous diet, you'll put all the weight back on" BS so far, work colleagues been really supportive etc, then BOOM, today one girl I haven't spoken to about it before gives me exactly that. Grr. Couldn't be...

Apart from jeopardising weight loss, you won't be getting the full nutritional value of the three packs, which is not good for the body. Weight loss can slow down because the body could go into starvation mode an just hold onto whatever it can! It's not a good idea at all.

Ditto! I'm shattered constantly. Would love the energy high :(

So right now I am sitting here eating a Slim & Save chilli. You know what? It's not bad! I added some extra chilli powder in case it wasn't hot enough and it really is the right hotness for me. Obviously it's not got the amazing taste of my homemade stuff, but still, for 139 calories or whatever...

I had this yesterday! My boyfriend was going to order a pizza for dinner and I was soooo cold all day and so tired as well that I actually cried a little bit in frustration because I wanted some! But bless him, he didn't get one in the end and I just had my soup and water and the craving went...

You look fantastic :) You can definitely see the difference between the last photos and these. Ridiculously inspiring to see these, really.

Yes!! Photos! :D

I would say the same as everyone else here but also add to be careful with alcohol and ketosis. You should be coming out of ketosis completely before drinking alcohol - it can be very, very dangerous! A couple of glasses probably won't have hurt but in future, it's probably best to make sure you...

Hi there :) I have PCOS and hand on heart this is the first diet that has ever worked for me. I used to exercise madly, eat healthy, Weight Watchers, Slimming World, blablabla but this is the ONLY diet I have ever lost weight on. The only thing is keeping it off...if you're anything like me you...

Yyyeaaahhhh...it's the 6:30am thing that may put me off a little :D

Congratulations MFB, that's awesome :)

Well done! This is definitely inspiring me to start going...I'm the same as you, always so worried about what people are going to think. But you've reminded me just how GOOD it feels to swim!

WOOHOO!! So I was last weighed on New Year's Eve, with all my Christmas/December weight on. Went back on the diet on 3rd January and today was my WI...and I have lost 18lbs!! :wow: This isn't that amazing because I really did pack a fair amount on whilst on my hiatus of family-based issues...

Ugh, on a proper downwards energy spike. I had a fair bit over the weekend, which was great for all the packing, but now I'm struggling so much to even wake up in the morning! Normally I am such a morning person - alarm goes off and I jump straight out of bed. Now...ugh. I haven't had this...

Congratulations!! :)

At the end of the day (it gets dark), only YOU can beat those demons and only YOU can help yourself, really. This diet is 100% doable - there are so many success stories, and inspirations just on this forum! You CAN do it, it's just about letting/making yourself. This applies to myself as well...

Currently laying in bed whilst my boyfriend sleeps like a baby beside me. Ketosis taste is definitely in my mouth but gosh, am I hungry. Can't decide what to have for breakfast, porridge or a shake. I've only got strawberry and cappuccino flavours of the shakes left though and although I adore...

Well, definitely in ketosis now (I think). Had the good old rotting pears taste in my mouth on awakening and haven't felt hungry all day. Just had to force myself to stop packing and have a soup. Also my scales say I've lost one whole stone since I last weighed myself on New Year's Eve, which...

That's what I'm taking them as :) Hopefully they'll stop soon!

That's awesome, well done! :)

The Food Dreams started last night. Interestingly, I used to get them when I've been on the diet in the past but I didn't in September. It's always the same: I realise I'm eating something and frantically try to spit it out/scrape it off my tongue. Last night it was One. Single. Pecan. And I was...

Forgot to take my tetra to work today for my lunch :( Day 2 is NOT a good day to forget your lunch, people! SO hungry right now, but the Apple & Cinnamon porridge is making it alllll better and I have a veg soup for later. Mmmmm :)

AGES since I was last on here. Many events etc over Christmas and that meant I just took some time off. Not the best plan :( However, here we go, back on it and ready to blast through until goal as I have NOTHING planned until the end of April! I think goal weight is definitely achievable in...

So glad you're still doing so well. Feels like AGES since I've been on here and this as the first thread I came to check! Brilliant work :)

I've added you Mishie :) Mollydog - 2 stone - 4lb lost - 1 stone 10lb to go myrtlemoo - 3 stone - 24 lb gone - 18 lbs to go loubie84 - 3 stone - lost 10lb - 2 stone 4lb to go Majella -1.5 stone size 10 jeans Andju - 3 stone... lost 15lbs-- 1st 13lbs to go earthangel - 3stone goolian - 3 stone...

You're definitely going to! Can't see it being too long until you get there at the rate you've been going (minus the meds :() too! Well, I definitely prefer my CDC's scales...apparently I've lots 7lbs :D Well into the 13s and another 4 inches off in total! WHAT A DAY :D:D:D

Desperately trying to make myself GO, weigh in in half an hour and my scales are saying that with clothes on I'm still JUST in the 14s, by .04lbs! Haha!

A few days without posting. Mainly because we had some friends round for dinner on Saturday night - a long overdue repayment of a dinner they provided back in August. Cooked some delicious food and yes, ate some. As I was planning on it, I didn't feel guilty or bad about it or anything. Where...

22 = Bubble & Squeak!

10 = Chicken Tikka Masala Sorry for all the posts, on my phone and can't hold everything in my head enough to put it in one reply!

2 = Hotpot?

21 = Quiche Lorraine

Sounds exactly the same as my man! Aren't we lucky :)

Congratulations! And it'll just get easier from here on... :D

I think if you really step back and look at the situation, you'll see how much more beneficial doing this for however long it takes to lose the weight you want to lose will be for you, rather than e.g. giving up and carrying on as you used to. Sticking it out v giving up? Don't be scared, or you...

Hey Krissy, just wanted to let you know that I made the soup tonight :) And it was delicious! Gently "fried" 2 chopped spring onions with half of my chicken allowance, then added half of my chickpea allowance and cooked until the chicken was done on the outside. Then I used the reduced-salt...

YUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!! I just made the BEST soup. I swear it was even better than many I've made in the past that included non-CD/810 friendly foods! Squirted a TEENY bit of Fry Light into a saucepan and cooked two chopped spring onions for a little while with some pepper, then added half...

Awesome, congratulations!!!

So this morning I tried the Apple & Cinnamon porridge, and apart from finding it a bit salty I LOVED it. No microwave so I did it on the hob and it still turns out thick and lovely. Very impressed. Like the soup I only got one sachet though, boo. Was a bit confused by how salty I found it...

Thanks emsiem! Haha Bettie, the collider, love it! In total it was 6.5ish lbs this week, but half of it is catch up from where I was before my birthday weekend...without that weekend I'd be past this weight already, grr. Still, it was worth it!

And, ooh, it was WI today! I'm now 1lb off the 2 stones mark which is a bit irritating because I KNOW I was AT the 2 mark this morning when I weighed myself in the nud, haha. Hooopefully by the time the wedding rolls around next weekend I will be over it!

Maybe you should, just so we can see your disgusted reaction haha! :D I also got the Leek and Potato one so will probably try that in a few days.

Congrats emsiem!! :D Mollydog - 2 stone - 4lb lost - 1 stone 10lb to go myrtlemoo - 3 stone - 24 lb gone - 18 lbs to go loubie84 - 3 stone - lost 10lb - 2 stone 4lb to go Majella -1.5 stone size 10 jeans Andju - 3 stone... lost 15lbs-- 1st 13lbs to go earthangel - 3stone goolian - 3 stone 3lbs...

Just tried the Spicy Tomato soup and didn't hate it!!! This is a MASSIVE step for me since I was so awfully scarred by the Oriental Chilli one in 2007 :( But yay! Soup I like soup! Only bought one though, typically.

On step 2 you're allowed a squeeze of lemon juice :) I will let you know! Will prob make it tonight as it's sooo chilly it'll be nice to be all warm! I think, THINK that most all herbs/spices are ok but I'm seeing my CDC tonight so will check and let you know :)

As others have said, water is definitely the saviour here :) The first few days are definitely rough though. I ALWAYS get an annoying headache on day 3. Good luck! :)

I have my shake in the morning before work, around 7am. Then about 2 litres of water/green tea/black coffee in the morning. A chocolate tetra for my lunch with another half litre of water, then a further 2 litres of water throughout the afternoon. As I'm on step 2 at the minute because of...

Good luck on your Cambridge journey! I'm on step 2 at the minute and found its been really working for me as I'm quite inventive in the kitchen anyway. I normally cut my chicken breast into chunks and crack some black pepper over it, then sprinkle over some paprika and chilli powder then grill...

Oh no ;( Wishing so many good thoughts your way :( Unfortunately, it does sound a lot like the pain I used to get when I had gallstones. A real tight, dull but also stabby pain in a band below my breasts and often radiating to my back too. The entire world became about that pain and I wouldn't...

I'm glad it's not just me :) Good luck to you, hopefully we can find a way to start speeding it up! Dress is definitely pretty, thanks. Just hope it'll look good. I think it has a petticoat bouffing out the skirt in the photo so hoping it looks fine without one! My WI is tomorrow evening but...

UGH. Didn't have any 810-friendly foods in tonight apart from chickpeas, and with it being so cold I attempted to try to make a soup...be warned, chickpeas are so freakin' bland that they CANNOT be made into a soup by themselves, even with spices/herbs and a dollop of yogurt added. YUCK...

Really looking forward to my dinner this evening :D Going to have grilled spicy chicken with cottage cheese and a rocket, spring onion and green pepper salad (yum) and then make my strawberry shake into a mousse for dessert! Yup, bought some Mix-a-Mousse last week. Tried it once so far and...

Maybe it's just your body getting used to SSing again? Could be that after a week of a few more calories it's hanging onto everything it gets...of course, I have no real clue but that's my best guess!

Well, fifth day back on 810. Can't wait for SS next week, I'm not feeling good with myself at all. I know I'm losing weight but still don't feel that any of my old clothes are looking good. Plus I have a wedding in 2 weeks I wanted to be MUCH lighter for than this and nothing to wear! Boo :(

Your brain's not wrong. I fully agree, I would rather be a Nigella than a Cheryl and if anyone isn't happy with that it's their own opinion! As long as we're happy with ourselves that's what counts, and I know that's why I'm on this diet, to be happy with ME. You go girl :)

Argh what a morning. I was WEAK at the weekend and decided that, since it'll be the last time I'll party until Christmas, I'd go to a Halloween party and drink. Epic bad decision as had to eat yesterday in the worse way...and my scales rewarded me with a 6lb gain. Massive boo, but my own fault...

Scary isn't it! I had green pepper and there seemed to be more of it when chopped up but I can imagine there's even less with cucumber. And soooo much tuna, I actually feel quite sick now :( Thanks! I seem to be quite good at sticking to it once I'm on it...where I've fallen down in the past...

I really like the chocolate orange too. You do have to have it with VERY cold water and preferably ice mixed in because I agree it's rank when it's warmer...but it's deeeelish when super cold!

I've always chewed gum on this diet and never had any hunger issues...but it will differ from person to person, I guess. It's never knocked me out of ketosis, that much I know!

HOWEVER, today was AWFUL. I forgot it was Diwali :( So many of the girls I work with brought in sweets, chocolates, and even worse SAMOSAS. Oh, the smell :( But, because I work with such fantastic, supportive people, they moved them all from the desk next to me to the other end of my...

Wow, you get a LOT of tuna on step 2. Good job I like fish huh.

So I was ill for a while after my birthday *sob* Now I'm on antibiotics but back in the Cambridge groove, on step 2 which I have to say I am LOVING. Grilled spicy chicken last night with green peppers, and the same chicken tonight but only half of the allowance, and half of the allowance of...

I love this post spangles. I wish I could cut it out and stick it on my wall :D I know how you feel, FeenyFooFoo. I've been a bit disheartened by what I've seen as "low" losses too, but it's the magic of this place that makes you realise that whilst it might seem low, it's one hell of a lot...

D'oh, somehow did mine comPLETEly wrong *eye roll* Mollydog - 2 stone - 4lb lost - 1 stone 10lb to go myrtlemoo - 3 stone - 20 lb gone loubie84 - 3 stone - lost 10lb - 2 stone 4lb to go Majella -1.5 stone size 10 jeans Andju - 3 stone lost 5lbs 2st 9lbs to go earthangel - 3stone goolian - 3...

The worst thing is that I'm pretty sure that 3lbs will go straight back on as it's my birthday on Thursday and I'm sorry, but there's no way I'm SSing through my birthday. I have friends coming to stay and we're going out. As well as that my boyfriend has loads of stuff planned and I've been...

I got all excited this weekend because I was going to have some chicken on Saturday night...and it was HORRID! Seriously YEUCH. Is it chicken that's defrosted? Because whenever I have it fresh it never tastes that bad :-/ Also...I know it's not really "only", but I've only lost 3lbs this week...

This week has gone really fast. Which is good, in the way that the diet is slowing time right down for me any more. Keep catching myself feeling sad and annoyed that I can't eat. For example, went to get some petrol a minute ago and drove past KFC and the smell...I felt momentarily down. But...

Chocolate! But I used to whizz mine with extra water. Haven't had a tetra yet this time round.

Corsodyl does work but it definitely is rank!! Leaves a horrid taste in your mouth and I could do with using mine really but I just can't face the prospect on top of the awful ketosis taste!

Mmm yes, loving the chocolate orange bar, having one right now actually!

Makes it just like McDonalds milkshakes! :D

I'm in awe of you for going for a full night out and not touching a drop of alcohol and sticking there all the way through! I was supposed to go out for a friend's birthday last Saturday but just the thought of being around people drinking made me miserable, and in the end I ducked out :( So...

Today has been pretty unremarkable so far. Strawberry shake with ice blended for breakfast, although I did blend the shake and the water and THEN the ice, which meant it was really nicely blended, if a little too cold almost! Brain freeze! Black coffee, peppermint tea and 2 litres of water...

That's an awesome loss, congratulations!

That's awesome! Never realised it looked like that, thanks!

Thanks! :)

I decided to start this because it would be so nice to record my thoughts and feelings about this diet each day. I can't keep boring my poor boyfriend with it, after all :D On Wednesday I will be into my fourth week back on CD. I previously did it last year, starting after my birthday in...

Awesome, thanks :)

Does anyone know if you can have pepper (as in salt and) on SS+? I'm out for a birthday meal today and the restaurant have said they're ok to grill a chicken breast for me but would like some flavourings on it and I've left my book at home!

Brand new Corsa in bright bright yellow, makes me happy just looking at it!

Thanks andju! And yay to everyone else :) Hope you had a great time yesterday mama :)

Happy Friday everyone! Sorry to be disgustingly happy but: 1) I'm wearing an outfit I haven't been able to for 5 months! 2) I baked a shed load of cakes, brownies and cookies for my boyfriend's mum and work folk last night and haven't been tempted to try a single one! 3) I'm about to have my...

Keep at it lovely, it will definitely get easier. This is my third spin on this diet and each time I've found by the time I've hit the middle of the 2nd week the hunger goes, especially with drinking lots of water. Hot drinks like black tea and coffee and green tea will also help keep it away.

My counsellor has stressed to me to only do light exercise, and I'm on SS. I have an exercise bike/cross-trainer and she's said that a bit of light exercise on that is fine but not to overdo it, so I'm doing 20 mins every other evening at a low pace just to keep my fitness up. Pretty sure 5...

That's fantastic, well done!!!

Okay, weigh in today and in total since I started on 14th I've lost 16.5lbs!! So that's 11.5lbs left to go to my target. Whoop! Please could someone add it in for me as I'm on my phone :) Thank you!

Scales are definitely evil :( I thought if I went on them tonight it'd show a difference but apparently I've only lost 1lb since Monday! We really need to stay away from those things, I feel awful now :( Hope yours are nicer in the morning!

Ok, I'll go for it! Thanks :) *hug*

Morning all! Does anyone know if black coffee from vending machines like you get in offices, leisure centres etc is ok to drink while on SS? We have a free machine in my office and I could kill for a coffee today but not sure if I can trust it! It does just say Black Coffee, No Sugar, but do...

Hi everyone :D I'm new to posting on these forums but not to the CD. I began the diet in January 2010 but gave it up after a few months, my own fault, I was living the student lifestyle! Went back on it last October through to the middle of January this year and lost a good 2 1/2 stone...

Hi everyone :) I'm new here but a returner to the diet and would love the support and knowledge that other people are doing the same as me this time to keep me on track. I'd ideally like to lose 2 1/2 stone by Christmas, but realistically I'm going to aim for 2 stone as I have my birthday, two...
