Hey not on here that often, it's good to see more people on now, think that's why I stopped using this. I started at 22.4 st and am now 17.11. Pleased with this. Although I know I could have done better, if I hadn't had those couple of weeks off! Almost at the half way point now though! How...

Hey all still here, just plodding away. Have been struggling to stay focused recently i have to say. Still had losses though and not put on which is the main thing at the moment! How are you both getting on? X

I hate exercising, have done some, some weeks on the wii fit and with a kettle bell. But also have 2 small children - so am running around after them a lot. Also my house certainly looks a lot cleaner inside, coz when I want to snack I go away and clean something! Sound sad I know but anything...

Hey, Im still doing it, been 4 months now and 4 stone down. But I know it could have been better as the last couple of weeks I've gone of track a little bit. But still managing a loss. Am on the straight and narrow now though, just focusing just now on my half way point! How much do you...

Hey all, good luck to you all on your losses. They say its best to eat 6 times a day for the 1st couple of weeks at least. It gets your body used to thinking in a different way. Ive been on this 14 weeks and would say that I eat/drink about 5 times a day still & drink loads and loads of...

Still here. Well done on your loss thats great:happy096:, how much have you lost now? Im really struggling at the moment - had a major bing yesterday with chocolate, 700 cals in one go! Cant stop myself with the cravings just now :help2: xx

You look great, see a big difference in your face. You prob see it in your body too. Well done xx

2lb off this week, which is good concidering Im mentally struggling this week. 5lbs to go fingers crossed I'll make it. xx

I know how you feel, I had a few too many this weekend (4 vodkas!) and felt it so badly. When you dont drink and then have a few I get wasted and then want to eat crisps and rubbish! So hard to resist. How did you get on? xx

Oh no is this thread dying?! How are we all getting on this weekend? i know I have to pick up on the excercise, but just cannot motivate myself:sigh::sigh:, any tips anyone? xx

Well having read this thread and all the tips Ive taken the plung and bought a kettlebell and kettleworx gonna give it a bash at trying to tone up as I have so much to loose - Im not expecting miracles but to have some tone and definition would be nice. Im sure I will see a difference, as at...

Hey, Welcome. How are you getting on with your 2nd week? xx

Hey, Im not doing ww, but like you have a lot to shift, good luck to you. New year new you! xx

Well done everyone on your losses - its great motivation to be able to come on here and see how everyone is getting on. Not expecting a loss this week as its totm and thats a bad time for me - want to eat anything and everything :( trying my hardest to resist though! xx

Hey all that sounds awful. I know its really hard at the start, but once you have it worked out in your head what you can and cant have it gets better. I dont do the food thing at work, but like AmberX the meal bars have got me through the most of my losses and my chocolate cravings! I have a...

Thanks. Good luck for tomorrow x

Welcome to the group, seems to be the only active thread on here just now. Well had weigh in today and lost another 5lbs! cannot believe it. Only thing I have done differently this week is to pick up the excersise. Have been using a kettlebell. This is deffo working, i can feel it in my legs...

Hey all - hope you all are good. Just had my weigh in and lost 5lbs cannot believe it!:eek::eek: Almost fell over, thats my BMI in the 30s now. Never thought that would happen. Next target with that, is to be just overweight and not obese! My kettlebell must be doing some good as thats the only...

Woohoo cant believe it - 5lbs off this week :D that makes it only 7 to go. Must be the excersise thats doing it. xx

Welcome Kelstar the more the merrier and congrats on your weight loss to date, thats a great start! Good luck with your continued losses xx

Ive found cutting out the majority of food good for me - I have an evening meal with no carbs. Shakes for breakfast and lunch. I think that when you have such a long way to target its good to feel like your getting somewhere. LC diet not quite a VLCD. In the past ive gone to classes from ww and...

Good luck to you what ever you choose - here to support you along the way. Just have a look into them all and see what fits easily into your day to day life - and one that you can afford also. Still a long way for me too - but determind that this is the year I'm going to do it! xx

Hey, Well done Sammie 3lbs is great, just keep going and dont loose heart with it. Remember if you are excersising muscle is being built too.. Thanks for the tips for the bell - was just doing the excersises that were on the chart I was given with it. Think my hubbie has had a look into...

Hey all Well done stokegal half a stone is great, and that hasnt even been a month yet! Jayde congrats on the driving test, its great getting that bit of freedom being able to drive. I can still remember passing my test - god it makes me feel old! :D You have done amazing on your weight loss...

Hey all, Well done on your weight loss - 11lbs is great. I think i lost 9lbs in my first week, but I cheated and had 4 rolos that week! Was really hard. The carb allowance is under 10grams per 100gram - so if you look at sauces and things like that if its over its a no go :( Had a...

Hey everyone, So pleased with today - got fed up with my jeans falling down walking to work (not smarten up yet!) So poped into Asda and was able to buy a size 20 jeans, in the sale. Ive not been this size for years:D:D thats me dropped 3 sizes in nearly 3 months! It will be the only...

Well done everyone - looking good xx

Thanks, Splashed out on a kettlebell today (only £6) gonna give this a go with the wii fit - maybe doing one, one day then the other the next day. So Im working my muscles on alternative days. How are you both getting on? x

Good luck to you - youve taken the hardest step! x

Positive thoughts coming from me to you! ;):D x

ooh ill have to have a look for one of those - I suppose I could make nice celerac chips? They are nice in the oven, covered in chilli too. Every thing I have has chilli on it - because of its supposed slimming power! Dont know if thats true though?? x

I used to be the same, my oh works back shift - so once the kids had gone to bed and I was on my own at night I would scoft all sorts - crisps where a major downfall for me. Since cutting out carbs that has helped, but in the begining it was breaking the habbit - lets just say there was a lot of...

Well done on your loss - as the others have said a loss is better than a gain and that 1lb has gone forever and will not return!;) New week now so start a fresh! Im one to talk though, almost gave into temptation today when my team at work won a box of thorntons chocolates - so hard to resist...

I know what you mean about the taste - it does get better. You have to shake them like mad as well! The 1st week or so is the worse, its your body craving the carbs! Watch out for carrots - they are a restricted veg - only once or twice a week I weigh in on a monday - lost 2lbs this week :o...

Good luck with your weight loss - I love cake, wish I could work somewhere that would make me sick of it - or chocolate! :D x

Lol - got a couple of those pet things at christmas for my girls - they love them, although the noises that come out of them are quite bizzare! :):) Cant have potatoes on my diet unfortunatly - carbs are evil! (or so I have to think!) xx

Hey - hope I can join in - my motovation is the thought of being able to wear a strapless maxi dress in the summer with a strapless bra - That all fits and there is no bulging bits over the back! Have to keep thinking about this to keep me going. Had one last summer but had to wear a bra...

Hey, I hope that you got your shakes today?! If you did what did you think of them? I use the bars too - fruit and nut are the best ones- caramel ones can get a bit sickly (sp?) I also have a box of the capsules in the cupboard - saving these for when my weight plateaus out. Seemingly there...

Hey all, weigh in today - only 2lbs, but its better off than on! 3 more lbs and my BMI gets into the 30's! :D I dont know how you resisted the sunday dinner, I would love some roast potatoes, Had some at christmas that were delic! Had a curry the other nice that was tasty, made it with quorn...

Hey, weigh in today, lost 2lbs which is ok, should be more. I know this is down to excersise. So after weighing in I did 12mins on the wii. I will increase this week on week I think. But will try and do this every day. I hope you managed to resist the food. I know that I have days, more...

Well week one of this challenge down, 2lbs off, was hoping for more but 12lbs left to go. Its great motivation to keeping going on this site. Good luck to everyone! x

Hey, can I join too? Would like to loose another stone by then. That would take me to 4st lost. :D Good luck everyone x

I know that Im just lazy just now and I need to change the way I'm thinking to get anywhere with this. Its all very well changing the way that I eat but I know ill stall down the line with loosing the weight. I have no excuse not to go for a brisk walk as you say, as I have a golden retriever...

Hey, well done on your weight loss. Thats a great result after only 2 weeks! Isnt it funny that no matter where you live docs are the same! Keep up the good work x

Awh thanks guys you are all so supportive, can really pick you up when your having a bad day x

Well you guys have motivated me to dust off the wii fit board!:D Gonna start off with 10mins I think then see how I go with this. My wee bro -who is into his fitness- keeps saying to me that I should do it in the morning before Ive had anything else to eat as it makes your body burn fat. Cant...

Hey all. Good day for me to day. Feel like I've not stopped with cleaning up after my oh all day (he's been assembling the Ikea shopping!) Its good of him coz hes working all weekend too. To end the day though I have a splitting headache which is not so good, so may be an early bath then bed...

Hey, Good luck to you. 13lbs is an amazing start. Never tried a complete meal replacement diet before. Doing a partial one, where I get snacks and a meal at the end of the day. Working ok for me just now. I know how you feel about not liking the way ur body is. I hate carrying around all...

Love cheese now - never did before the diet - couldnt bare melted chees now love it on everything (in moderation of course):D

I think i drink about 3 litres a day deffo keeps the cravings at bay and keeps me full. Only thing that gives me greaf is if I drink too late at night and then have to get up through the night for trips downstairs! ;)

Hey I took 4mg prior to falling pregnant and till I was 12 weeks then my mw told me it was ok to stop as your onto the 2nd trimester. My BMI is high and I had to go to a special unit at the hospital for extra scans and mw appts. They do that for anyone with a BMI over 40 here.

Hey I have lunch at about 1 the dont eat or drink till I weigh in at around 4ish,(prob not good to stop drinking, but as soon as its done I have a drink) .Wish I could weigh first thing in the morning though

Thanks for the info - still getting the hang of what privilages you get for posts. This has made it clearer :)

Thats a good idea - I have a wii fit, so should prob crack that out at night once the kiddies had got to bed. I suppose its like everything once you get used to it and it becomes habbit, it's easier. Like the diet! x

Hey, Did you get them today? I got another batch of strawberry shakes that I ordered from Groupon today. All out of date at the end of the month though. I'm sure I will get through them - might be strawberry and banana sick by then! (got a load of banana ones at knock of prices from the...

Good luck to you on your weight loss. Should take some tips from you with the exercising! Cannot motivate myself at all!

Hey I'm on the cs diet - been on since october and lost 3stone. Another 6 to go though. I like it as I get an evening meal with the family, but I've not tried anyother meal replacement diets before.

Hey, New to posting on this site this year - reg last year but fell off the wagon, back on now to finish what I started. I find this site very motivational as I'm doing it myself. Have 6st to loose and will do it this year!:D

Well done for stepping away from the sweets, I find it hard being around them all the time! My oh eats like a horse and is not overweight at all. And he sits all day at work (is a bus driver). Been away out and tackled Ikea this morning - fighting my way through the trolleys and listening to...

Cheese and pickle tostie - 4 and ice cream with the kids at Ikea - 5!

Lost 3st 1lb so far. Another 6st to go though :sigh:

Deffo liver, my mum used to make a rank onion gravy that went with it when I was wee! I also cannot stand mango, its all furry on the tongue :jelous: Love back and white pudding though, lovely done on the george forman!

Hey, That sounds great. Not sure about the combining snacks things. I know you have to make sure that your snacks and anything you have for your dinner have to have less that 10g per 100g of carbs. I'll have like a slice of ham rolled up with a slice of cheese for a snack, no more that 30gs...

Hey, you mix the shakes with water. I've found it quite easy so far. Really enjoy having an evening meal with the family

I thought that to start with too, the smell at the start made me want to vomit. But I've kind of got used to it now, almost 3 months later! Just shake it loads and loads :D

Oh and thanks stokegal for the tip about asda, will have to pop in when I get paid. Will wait a wee while to make sure that everyone else is picking up the smart stakes at work before I go out and splash money on pointless clothes though!:rolleyes: xx

Hey gals, Well today seems to have gone ok for me although i may have had a wee bit to much for dinner, dont know if its just me getting paranoid about plate sizes! Had spag bol without the pasta, but with cauliflower! I know it sounds rank but tasted ok. I'm feeling that i should be...

Just be careful as they expire at the end of the month - just bought more myself and found that out!

Hey guys, Doing celeb slim diet and no carbs at the moment, but once I've lost the weight will prob go onto SS or WW to maintain, but that is a long way in the distance. Have gotten a bit used to planning the meals in advance and really look forward to my food! Was really hard at the start...

Hey, Not on here an awful lot as noone on this diet seems to use this forum. Bit of a newbee on here to be honest. There official site is much better for advise though, really busy with people. Been on diet since october, lost 3st, have loads to loose though! No carbs, did you not get a...

Hey good luck to you, Ive got another 6stone to go this year and like you feel like this year I'm gonna do it. Fed up of starting these diets and never following them through. Started in october, but hope I can join this thread?!:D Good luck everyone x

What an inspirational post. Great motivation when I'm reaching for the snacks! Thanks x

Hey, Well done for getting back on the wagon. Doesnt seem like there are a lot of people visiting this forum though :sigh:. Good luck with your weight loss :D:D

Hey, Its a shake in the morning - snack - shake lunch - snack - then dinner (no carb meal) - no carbs alowed though in the meal or snacks. You can mix up when you have your meal though. I hope this helps. Been on it since end of October - Good luck x

Hey Im also a neebie here to this site, but started my weight loss journey in october at roughly the same weight as you. Really struggled at christmas and getting back into the swing of things in the new year. All totally in my head though! Looks like there is lots of support on here...
