Wow looks like some people have had some great losses-well done! Sorry all for being so quiet..Ive been quite poorly with a horrid cold/flu type thing and didnt lose any weight. The good news is I weighed in this morning amd have lost 1lb. Only 4 more to go..maybe a bit unrealistic!!! Sent...

Started on 1200 (mfp recommendation) and lost for first 2 weeks then plateaued. Increased to 1350 and am back to losing 2lb a week. Am 5ft4, just under 11st and sit at a desk most if the day! Gym 2/3 times a week and eat back all exercise calories. Total loss since august 1st is about 9lb :)...

Morning everyone! Happy september! Just weighed in at 10st 12.. so that makes my goal 10st 7..very exciting as I havent weighed that since I was about 18!! It will also take me to a healthy bmi. Am heading to the gym now as have visitors coming over this afternoon amd wanted to give me some...

Wow!There are loads of us now-this is great!! Is everyone calorie counting or do we have a mix of approaches? Personally im sticking to 1350 a day..but this weekend could be challenging as my other half is away and I have a tendency to crack out the galaxy in front of the telly whilst hes...

The advice from lindsey was fab..I upped my cals to 1350 and have lost consistently since!! Thanks xx

Re: Smashing it in September!!! Sounds just like the motivation I need to keep going through sept!! Put me down for 5lbs (on a phone too im afraid so a nightmare copying/pasting!!) x

Hi sara Sounds like youve had a great first day..and still managed to eat loads!! I can totally empathise with your multiple diets..Im the same and so far find CC works well for me as its so simple..and I can always eat a bit less if I just *have* to have the chocolate!! Keep us all posted on...

Hi all Am after a bit of expertise and motivation if Im completely honest!! Have been calorie counting for the last 4 weeks-sticking at 1200 a day plus exercising 3 times a week (and eating back the calories). In week 1 it was great and I lost 4lb but since then I have only lost about 0.5lb a...

I resisted!! On the return train home now..its all macaroons and biscuits and wine!! Am sticking to my pre weighed pot of almonds and sunflower seeds that I brought from home!!!

Hi all, Am on a train to london for work..and have had a lovely upgrade to first class. Only problem is that there is free food everywhere!! Just managed to avoid the biscuits etc but now they are bringing fresh warm croissants and danishes!!! Anyone fancy giving me some urgent motivation to...

babybuffy - how are you getting on? I'm in a similar position to you.. going to florida and its my absolute motivation - hate the thought of going down the slides at the water parks with a spare tyre around my belly!! Am currently 11st7 (5ft 4) and goal is 9st 7 - dont go until next may but...

It's meant to cost about £300 a month but I managed to get some discounts (always worth asking!). You do need to provide fruit and veg but they probably cost me less than £5 a week if I buy what's on offer :-) Seems expensive at first but for me i can't really put a price on success!! my...

Ahh sorry!basically I stayed the same last week!x

eeek it is always tricky for me when there's cake about (at work we always have cake on a friday) so I feel your pain with the savoury stuff! maybe you should save up your snacks for then? I seem to remember some yummy chocolate coated raspberries on Go Lower? My friend was also a bit fan of...

That womens health link is great - really nice intro to kettle bells if you dont want to invest in a dvd straight away :) Just completed Wk1 Cardio (advanced dvd) and am absolutely exhausted.. definitely the hardest workout by far! (Makes core and resistance seem like a walk in the park!). I'm...

evening all! Hope you've had a good day :-) Am just about to do my final wk 1 session - cardio! Wish me luck...!! x

brilliant!! You must be so happy to have taken off the first stone!!! Well done! I weigh in tomorrow.. currently 8lb down in 3 weeks (maintained last week) so hoping for 3lbs... fingers crossed! x

I think America looks amazing in the link.. but personally, I'd be very happy with a flat tummy! I'd love to be able to sit down in a bikini and not see rolls!!!

Wow.. so nice to see someone with realistic targets! For me, even 20 mins every day seems like quite a lot! I'm doing Jenny Craig and they encourage you to get to 5 x 30mins a week - seems very daunting at the minute.. but I figured if I could get to 20mins, then I could add an extra 10 mins by...

Hi Vampyra, I've been on Jenny Craig for just under 4 weeks now (lost 8lbs in the first 2 weeks, maintained last week and fingers crossed for this week - weigh in tomorrow!). Really enjoying it (which.. trust me.. is a miraculous thing for me to say) - love the fact that people are commenting...

Hi Twinkletoes! Sounds like a good plan - would be interested to see how you get on if you do go down that route :)

I've seen lots of adverts for this around our DL - whats the premise of it? I thought it was just exercise.. but does it have a specific diet too?

wow! well done you! make sure you dont burn out today.. need to make sure you can keep going all week :)

Evening all - have just completed week 1 core.. feeling pretty exhausted but still thoroughly enjoyed myself! Am still getting to grips with the DVDs and laugh every time Ryan comes up with some 'reach up and get those skinny jeans' or 'say goodbye to those love handles' comments! Brilliant...

mmm that dinner looks yummy - how many cals in that?

so i bought the white chocolate options.. its so yummy! think it will definitely help curb the cravings for a bit :) x

good luck with it :) x

aww dont be too disheartened - you wont lose weight every week. I noticed that you are doing 'my own' diet - maybe its worth trying something slightly more ordered? For me, I've tried to do it by myself loads of times but end up cheating. If there are some clear rules/guidance, that can really...

always think its a lower result if you weigh in first thing in the morning before eating/drinking anything!

totally agree - was gutted for Laura (not sure how her mum will cope now..). Gerald has to go!!!

I agree - its really busy.. great to be able to hear so many peoples experiences! I literally had never heard of kettle bells until I joined this forum.. it seems like they are a bit of a phenomenon!! x

I have done Go Lower in the past - it produced fast weight loss.. but as there were no carbs in the diet at all.. I found it very tricky to keep the weight off. Ultimately I put it back on.. plus a bit extra! Also, there isnt a huge amount of variety in terms of food (only one breakfast, about 4...

Did my first ever Kettleworx session last night (advance resistance week 1 dvd). Really enjoyed it - the class went really quickly and didnt actually seem that difficult... ... but oh my goodness this morning I can definitely feel the burn! I am literally aching in places I have never hurt...

amazing tips - thanks! they all look so simple on paper.. will give them a try! That white chocolate hot choc sounds amazing.. will be definitely buying some of that :) x

Going really well so far - lost 9lb over the first 3 weeks. I live with my partner so have been cooking for him whilst eating the Jenny meals myself. The food has been a really pleasant surprise - was hungry for the first few days but now am in my stride and going for it! I'm at the point now...

I agree.. I think its great - definitely puts you in control! I went to New York a few years ago and it was law out there for all menus to have calories on. It helped me make some informed decisions (e.g. salad with my steak... rather than onion rings!!)

Hi All! I'm currently following the Jenny Craig diet - basically they deliver 3 meals a day (I then add in milk/yoghurt/fruit/veg) but you end up sticking to 1200 calories a day. My only problem is that I'm absolutely addicted to chocolate - pathetic I know! During the day I'm fine...

wow! congrats! x

yummmm! any tips for next time?

parfitteroles - you lucky girl.. congrats on being so close to your goal weight! do you mind me asking how you've got there? x

lol if it has a jacuzzi and sauna, that sounds fab! You've got to have some sort of reward for all of that hard work!! if you do book one, let us all know how you get on :) x

ahh that makes sense now! Thought i was being useless and unable to work the site - was desperately trying to work out why I couldnt get an avatar..!!

have you looked on the likes of groupon/wahanda/kgb deals? I keep seeing bootcamp type offers coming up on there.. you might be able to get your money to go even further!

looking absolutely amazing in those pics - what an inspiration to us all! well done! x

congrats! x

these results are amazing - congratulations! My local sainsburys have got loads of gym stuff on up to 70% off at the moment.. and they've got some kettle bells - I had been looking at them for a while.. so have decided I'm going to take the plunge and buy one this morning! Would you recommend...

oooh chocolate and pecan popcorn - that sounds amazing! My only nervousness with this sort of thing is making sure I stop at just one.. and dont demolish the whole packet!! Will be popping into M&S later to have a look for these :)

wow.. i love these kebabs.. hadnt ever considered them as an option when trying to keep my calories down! Thats probably cos I used to have them with a side of chips!!

wow! whats your secret? x

mmm sounds yummy - will definitely be trying these soon!

agree - the 8's have always been so tricky for me! I think the lightest I've ever been is 8st 13lb and found it almost impossible to stay there.. hence my goal weight is now 9st 7lb. When I first read your note I thought you meant size 8 jeans... now thats an even bigger struggle..!!

12lb in 2 weeks is absolutely incredible! Well done! How are you feeling? Any food tips/recipes that are keeping you going?

wow.. sounds amazing. Thanks! x

any chance I can join you two? I'm a wednesday weigher too! x

Congratulations!! How many calories was your limit? x

congrats.. and I thought my 6lb loss this week (my first week too) was good!! what diet are you doing? x

wow 7lb in week one! Congratulations! Keep it up :) xx

Seems like JC is still a relatively unknown diet at the moment.. am struggling to find any others on here! I've completed my first week on the diet - I have been so pleasantly surprised! The food has been really nice and apart from day 1 and 2 (where I was starving), I've felt full and havent...

Hi All, I've finally bitten the bullet and decided to start on the Jenny Craig diet - my first months pack is due to arrive on 2nd Jan so will be starting on 3rd. Have got 2.5 stones to lose - no idea how they have crept on.. probably something to do with moving in with my 6'4 man (who...
