I know it's frustrating but on what other diet plan can you lose 11lbs in 2 weeks?! That's amazing. Keep it up, and you'll look and feel fabulous in no time at all!!

Wow! You seem to have been through the mill. Good luck with cwp! :) I always blend mine with ice using the electric blender. Tastes fab.

Well definitely wasnt good today!! Hmmm... But tomorrow is another day. Going sole source until I'm back in the groove.

Good luck!! That's my plan today too. Lots and lots of water. :)

I've been on and off for ages now. Got to the stage where people are going on about how great I look so have become complacent. Still have weight to lose though!!! I'll start again properly tomorrow. We Will Do This!!!

Apparently Cambridge have put up their prices by 6% so could be the new pricing no?

Went back on sole source as I appear to have learnt the art of maintaining but my ideal was still about 7lbs lower. Yesterday I finally got under 10 stone!! Want to get to 9 stone 7 and then I have a buffer but I am so chuffed!!! Took some during photos and I'm so proud of how far I've come...

Excellent pics Hun. :)

That's excellent!!! Well done! :)

Didn't know whether to laugh or gag!!! A proper bunch of grown ups eh? ;)

Just read that!!! And couldn't stop laughing!! :)

30 day shred is a workout DVD by the American trainer Jillian Michaels. It's fantastic for toning up and general cross training.

Aww Theresa. Big hugs. Cancer is a horrid illness, but now is the time you need t be sting for your aunt. Chin up. Xx

Thank you!! :) Start again on SS tomorrow!! :)

Can it be done? I did the Hannah waterman DVD and then some treadmill work and I craved carbs so bad!! So I ate some!! :s Is anyone exercising on sole source?

If you're feeling poorly babe, I'd say come off it, get better and then try again. :)

Yes you will. :) Good luck x

Good luck tonight xx

Well done Theresa. Snow day today which has been nice. Kids have been eating all day, but I have refrained. I have this gorgeous dress I have seen online that I'd like to buy for my friend's wedding next month, and I keep imagining myself in it which has helped. Also my hubby bought us a...

CWP says that we should all have SMART goals and this will help us lose weight. My SMART goal is to lose 1 stone by 22nd February, to look fab in a dress I've seen to my friend's wedding. What's yours?

After 6 days of being on sole source, I took a deliberate day off today. I have realised that when I eat unconsciously, I tend to eat everything in sight. My hubby was cooking today, so I figured why not. Hopefully, this cheat day will only help. Aim this week is to lose the 5 lbs that will get...

I don't think eating should be classed as cheating either. Sooner or later, we will all have to eat. We can't live on cwp forever.

Aww bless hun. I've had a few comments of 'what you trying to do?', 'this won't work' etc, but I plough ahead. I've lost about 18lbs in total now. Ideally I'd like to lose another 18lbs but I'm taking it a lb at a time now cos I'm not sure if losing too much weight would be detrimental to my...

How you doing today yummy mummy?

I'm 10 stone 3, 5' 3' and only now are my size 14 trousers getting slightly big for me. I could probably get into size 10 tops though. Definitely depends on your body shape. My weight is definitely distributed around my middle but that's the most dangerous place for it to be!

Fantastic way of looking at it!! :)

I have never tried the porridge. I've never been a fan of them so didnt even try them on Cambridge. If you don't like them, your CDC should be able to change then for shakes.

It doesn't have to be just water. Have u tried any of the herbal teas? Or you could also try the veg flavourings from Cambridge?

I've heard of the book but not read it. I find the issue with slimming world is their 'free foods' mentality. When I start thinking of food as 'free', I tend to think that all food is free!! I want to start clean eating, as I think this is the best way forward for good health.

Excellent weight loss!! Well done!

Theresa, I empty the tetra into a glass and add water and ice to it. Very nice. Much like s chocolate milkshake!!! Fantastic weight loss by the way! :)

I've lost just over a stone now, and have started getting the 'wow, u look good!' comments. In all fairness I'm not huge to start with. My ideal weight is about 9 stone, and I started at 11 1/2 stones, so the difference was quite evident quickly. My goal is to get down to 9 stone by the end of...

It's got something to do with the heat in your body being directed towards the heart on a vlcd. Hence why we are cold ALL the time!!! A temperature of -5 outside cant help either!!!

Good luck!! :)

Hey lost, Glad to hear you're feeling good. I'm feeling alright too apart from cold!!! I'm drinking loads of herbal teas, and I still have one shake to go! I think though a warm shower and then early to bed might be an idea. It's the evenings where I crave food - not out of hunger but boredom...

I'm on day two too. Restart!! Feel slightly knackered but otherwise ok. Good luck!

How's it going Simmy? I'm not doing fab. Got an appt with my CDC in the morning. Seeing her will help motivate me.

Definitely not a bug Lily. :s From tomorrow I'm going to divide up the shakes and get going. My stomach feels queasy after two cwp products and then I tell myself I should eat something else to avoid spending the rest of the day on the loo.

Lol. Was so confused. I drink a lot of peppermint teas, ginger teas, etc. I buy them from tescos.

I meant herbal teas. What's red milk?

Hey everyone I started ss again on Boxing Day. Yesterday and today i have had a very gurgly tummy with lots of trips to the loo where well.... Diarrhea isn't even the word for it!! Any ideas on what I can do pls?

Welcome!! This place is a fantastic place for support!! You can do it. Sounds like you have more than enough reasons to. Good luck xx

Lots of water, teas, a warm bath and an early night!!

I started back on it yday. Cleared the diary for the next few days. Told my sons to chill and not harass me. They're 8 and 4 so quite good at doing their own thing apart from when they're hungry. And I've been drinking a lot of herbal teas, water and the veg broth. A lot of lazing around...

I don't know if you've heard of 5:2? It's where you eat 500 calories for 2 days of the week and eat normally the other 5 days. It's meant to help you lose weight while also providing other health benefits. What you're doing sounds similar to that. If it works, continue with it.

Slim and save is online right? I need my consultant as she's ace so I wouldn't consider switching. Plus I start my consultant training on the 9th which I'm sooo excited about. So I need to be on top form. I can't help others lose weight when I'm struggling myself

Started on sole source again yday. Was so hard being surrounded by all the left over chocolate but I managed to get through it. Need to up my water intake though. Usually have a herbal tea on the go all the time but still feel dehydrated sometimes. Must be the fact that I've got the heating on...

Same as you really. Lost about 17lbs in total. Still got 1 1/2 stone to go. December is always hard cos we have our anniversary, hubby's bday, obv Xmas stuff going on... I'm trying to just keep drinking the water and praying really!! ;) How much more u got to lose? I'm getting loads of fab...

Hey Simmy!! How's it going? X

Managed to edit the above post!! Don't know how to do it without quoting it!!

Way to make me feel hungry!!!! :(

:( Sad isn't it?!?

Well done!!! I'm not expecting a loss on Sunday but so want to lose 1 stone before going to Switzerland in december! :s

This cold weather means I just want roast potatoes and toast!!!! ?

Well after yesterday's gusto, I fell flat!!! Been working this week and as soon as I've come home, just about ate everything in sight!!! :( Spoke to CDC. She's advised tetras at lunchtime and a bar on the way home from work. That sounds alright eh?

Back on Cambridge today after a few days having religious events etc. raring to go now. Want to lose this half stone by end of month to get to 10 stone!! :)

I can manage it but my knee won't let me. Just started yoga and got myself a Pilates DVD. I doubt my knee will withstand running. :(

Stayed the same at weigh in which I was gutted about but I had had a couple of horrendous days! Went out last night and got hammered. Haven't eaten anything all day as just been trying to recover!!!

Not been too great today. Not been too bad but haven't stuck to Cambridge. Weigh in tomorrow lunchtime though!! Will that elusive lb have come off?

2 days of 30ds and my knee is buggered up!!! Can't even walk!! Gutted!!!! :(

I have the bars now for when I'm out and about so have never had a tetra.

Tetras are the ready made shakes

Well done. Looking good. :)

Wow! That's amazing. Well done!!!

Woke up at 10.45pm!!! Grumbled all the way downstairs but did my DVD!! :)

Think I'm going to fall asleep with my sons today! Hopefully I'll wake up in a bit so I can do day2!! #sotired!!!

Simmy!!! That's fantastic!!!! Well done!! Doing the happy dance with u! :)

What time is weigh in? Where do u work now? Xx

Had a meeting with my CDC this morning about becoming a consultant myself. Exciting times ahead I think!! :) WI is on Friday. Feeling very motivated right now!!! Good luck!! Xx

Sneaky weigh in this morning and still haven't lost that elusive lb!! :(

First day of 30ds done!! Thought I was dying but didnt sweat as much as I have done in the past!! Is there because there's less of me to sweat?!?

Starting 30ds tomorrow!! (Or today!) whichever way u look at it!! :)

Have booked myself in for a mini facial this Friday in the hope I will have lost that pesky pound!! Mini facial rather than a massage as money is quite tight and I'm getting my nails done too. Massage for two stones I think!! :) Got through a day at work on just a bar. Just got in and had...

And I don't like porridge at the best of times. Didn't want a Cambridge one to put me off for life!!

Well I'm hoping I get my massage this week as that what I promised myself if I lost 1 stone. :) I don't like the hot choc. :s And getting very sick of the vanilla too. I've given up on the soups too. I hope I lose the rest of the weight before I become sick of these shakes!!!

My ultimate goal weight is 9 stone so technically still have 1 1/2 stone to go. Having said that, I haven't been 9 stone for 3 years so don't know if that will suit me anymore. Just going to see how it goes I think. I hated totm when weighing in. Always just made u feel huge!!!

I would have peed away the pound if I hadn't eaten some chips!! Lol. Been relatively good but the crap weather makes me want food!!! But I am motivated cos I can see the difference in my clothes and my body so back on it tomorrow. Have u had any luck with making the shakes hot?

Another 2lbs off!! That's 13lbs. Just shy of my 1 stone goal!! :sigh: Very impressed with myself. Some of my clothes I'm literally swimming in now, as I've lost a lot from my top. Now just waiting for my bottom half to catch up!! :)

Wish my parents were supportive!! Don't know how my sister does it. Weigh in tomorrow morning!! :s

Looking forward to going home today. There's been too many temptations sitting at mums house with their daily cooking of delicious foods!!!

Diwali isn't for another couple of weeks is it?

Why does she want u to start on step 2?

Saw some family members yday who I hadn't seen and they commented on my weight loss. Going to treat myself to a massage as soon as 1 stone has been hit I think. And a facial for 2 stones!! :) Not sure what to get for when I hit goal? A shopping trip maybe? ;)

Yes!! :)

If only I didn't have to cook for everyone else in the house! :s

I've never partaken in a challenge before. How does it work exactly?

Babymumma2 14lbs (0 down 14 to go)

Fantastic!!! :)

Lol. Well I bought little kinder chocs but I haven't had any either!! Oh well! ;) Life goes on eh? Hehe.

I'm having a planned day off too. Official weigh in on sat morning now. :s Checked today and trend is still downwards which I'm happy about. :)

I'm 5'2.75"! ;) I've been on SS for past 4 weeks. Not entirely though. I have cheated.

I think the general consensus is a stone a month on cwp!

That's like me!! I was 11 stone 6. Want to get to about 9 stone. Maybe even 8 1/2 stone. Now at 10 stone 7.5lb. People are noticing and everything!! :)

Hi Simmy!! I did nothing to prepare. Like u I think I may have eaten everything in sight as I figured I was starting the diet the next day! ;) Do u have a lot to lose?

I have a meeting with her next Wednesday about it. :) looking forward to it!! :)

I'm at mums this week so don't have my DVD with me!! ?

And that's what counts!! That you're still losing. :)

Don't think I'm going to get to a stone loss by Thursday morning though which is annoying!! :(

You'll definitely get there!!! Seeing the weight fall off is definitely an incentive. :)

That's brilliant. Are people noticing now?

Back on the diet 100% Yday. The idea of losing more weight is very appealing plus the fact I'm going to talk to my CDC about becoming a CDC myself so want to be a good role model. My sister has just started and her CDC doesn't strike me as very good, and we all know that they need to be supportive!

Fantastic!

Hey well done! I have totally gone off plan since Wednesday evening and so back on it today!! 2 b fair, I don't think I've eaten as much as I used to before I started cwp but still.. I need to get to my stone off this week. Only got 3lbs to go so im sure ill reach it. Going to stay with my...

Well done for going on that walk. I find a good herbal tea usually sorts me out. :) My issue I have found though is not hunger. It's just picking at bits I really shouldn't!

Brilliant. Well done. I'm a maths teacher. Didn't get the full time job from today but got the part time job yesterday so I'm happy. I think where I am in my life right now, part time is more than enough. My only gripe is I need to finish my nqt year somewhere!! But for now I'm happy. :) went...

That's fantastic!! Well done. :)

Hi there Just wondering who feels like they can achieve anything now, going through this diet? I think that if I can survive on three shakes a day, and actually enjoy it, then surely my mind and body are capable of a whole lot more than I have given it credit for?

We never did get round to doing inches. Never mind. My clothes are beginning to fit. I can wear trousers again without looking like I have tree trunks for thighs. I have a teaching interview tomorrow and my CDC as a former teacher went through interview questions with me. We get fed lunch...

Good luck with it!

Lost 3lbs at weigh in!!! Woooo Hooooo!! That's 11lbs off in 3 weeks. I'm chuffed to say the least!!! :)

Weigh in day tomorrow!! Eek!!! I have an interview tomorrow for a part time temp position, and an interview on Thursday for a full time perm position. Going to get through them first to see if I get either one, and then I'm going to decide if I can do Cambridge too. :)

Fab!!!! :)

Excellent!! That's the attitude! :)

Well done. How much have u lost in total? X

I spoke to one of my 'friends' on Facebook. She's lost 5 stone on cwp and is now training to be a counsellor. She looks amazing! Definite inspiration.

:) Well done. I don't like the soups at all anymore. In fact I don't really like any of the shakes hot either. Just like my hot drinks. :) Have a good day today x

My period has started and my stomach feels awful. What id usually do is eat to calm it down! :(

You're not allowed fruit teas on this diet though are you? Well it looks my totm is fast approaching which will dampen weight loss this week! :s Am still seriously considering this becoming a Cambridge diet counsellor thing. What'd u think?

Just noticed your 'carpe diem'. I love that so much I have it tattooed on my back!!!

I don't like tea or coffee either but those two herbal teas get me through the days. Going to stick to water tonight and maybe tomorrow and hopefully it'll get better.

OMG! Think I may have overdosed on my beloved lemon and ginger tea. Been sitting in the toilet all evening, and considering I, not eating...hmmm.. I think both chamomile and ginger tea all 'relax' the digestive system. What teas does everyone else drink?

Wow!!!! :)

Obv I need to be in bed!! I meant hope you're ok russiandoll. :)

Hope you're ok tonight lily! :)

Wow! That's great motivation but not a very nice experience for you. People who speak without engaging their brain and empathy skills annoy the f*** out of me. U show them exactly what you're capable of!!!

I know it's hard, and I'm not one to talk but maybe stop weighing everyday? You will surely be losing weight though so don't worry. Go out tonight and enjoy yourself.

Hiya. The more, the merrier. :) Have u started cwp already?

It was nice but I felt so bloated at the end of the night that I came home to have a ginger and lemon tea! Lol. And I had comments from my son and a lady on the night out asking me about me if I'd lost weight! Was well chuffed that its noticeable already! Definitely spurs u on. :) U looking...

Good luck with it! I have a headache! :( But off out soon so am going to take a nurofen and get on with it. Actually itching to get back on plan even though all I've eaten today is one cwp bar and then two slices of pizza. Out so eating lasagne tonight and then back on track tomorrow. Tried on...

Lol. I love herbal teas!! :) how sad am I?! ;)

I've been doing well. Today, I gave myself the afternoon/evening off as I'm off out and I'm not going to go out and not eat! I won't be drinking though as I didn't want to totally sabotage all the hard work I've been putting in. :) I'm on step 1. Not sure how long I'm meant to be on there. Can...

That's fabulous russiandoll. Well done.

Hi russiandoll! I'm a supply teacher too. Really have to limit the amount of water I have in the morning as my bladder is weak as it is. Most times I struggle to remember where the loo is anyway without having to run around the school looking for it!! ;)

My CDC said I was allowed camomile. I live on that stuff as well as the ginger and lemon tea.

You're on!! :)

I slept for about 3 hours, and funnily enough I feel fine for now. Can see I will crash and burn soon though. CDC came round to mine today. I love how enthusiastic she is! :) As I want to see the weight coming off, like I decided last night (or this morning, whichever way you look at it!), I'm...

-2lbs!! :) That's 8lbs in 2 weeks. Happy with myself for how much I cheated. Bought myself some bars now so no need to cheat! I get to crunch! :) I is a happy girl

Just finishing week 2. :) When did you start running?

It's 3am and I'm still wide awake. I need to get down to 10 stone to get my bmi to normal!! So having been checking out the Cambridge weight plan forum, I'm going to go and get myself some bars and tetras tomorrow in place of my 'evening meal' which is when I struggle. I have one evening out...

You are welcome to join 'team back in track'. Everyone is really friendly here, and you can ask questions you don't feel you can ask your CDC. Have u actually started on cd yet?

Wow Niki! You look AMAZING!!!!! The change in your face is remarkable. So inspiring! :)

How much have u been eating then? I'm very nervous about getting weighed tomorrow. It's at 12 so I don't want to drink too much before hand and also I've slipped so many times this week! :s

Thanks Lily. Maybe not for the moment then!! :s

Anyone know if we can exercise on this diet? I want to start 30ds again!

No but I'm going to talk to my CDC tomorrow about doing that. Does your CDC think you'll continue to lose weight with it?

Thanks hun. Will talk to her tomorrow about it.

What did your CDC say about you eating? I'd like to know how much I can hope to lose on step 3 as obv it's the quick weight loss which prompts me!! I've got an appt at lunchtime tomorrow so will talk to her then about it.

I've got a meeting with the CDC tomorrow so I'll talk to her re moving to step 3. I'm just worried though as obv I want this weight off ASAP and I don't want to sabotage the quick weight loss. Anyone know how much weight you can hope to lose on step 3?

Thank you. What's a bullion drink? Never heard of it before. Most days in fact I won't have a shake till about 11ish as I cope with chamomile teas till then. It's not even hunger per se in the evenings. Just this feeling that I can eat so will eat!!

First weigh in I lost 6lbs and was very proud of myself. I'm one of those daily weighers, and past few days, I've seen the scales go down and so I've started playing around with food again! :s I start off fab, with a shake for brekkie and then one for lunch, but then dinner time arrives and I've...

Fantastic!!! :)

It DOES get easier. If u still to ss for about three days, it gets far easier!

How's everyone doing today? That chocolate was good yesterday but given me a darn headache today!! Stupid withdrawal symptoms! :(

Thank you. That's what I see it as too! :)

Have been feeling absolutely horrid today. Tried really hard to just stick to my teas but wasn't happening. So I ate some chicken which my husband put in the oven. And then some potatoes he'd also put in there. And then... A bar of chocolate!! :( It's a good thing I changed my weigh in day to...

It's very nearly a stone!!! Is it TOTM? Cos that puts weight on. 3 weeks and nearly a stone is fabulous. Chin up. :)

How u doing today babe?

That sounds like a good plan. Good luck with it! I'm not very well. Have a blocked up nose and I feel rotten! :( Not a happy bunny!

Missed you Maryam! I thought Ramadan was over? 14lbs will be gone in a flash. What's your plan of action though?

Just been looking on eBay on all the clothes I can wear once I've lost this weight!! Definitely inspiring me to stick at it! :)

Lol. I've got plenty there but still don't want it leaving me!! There's plenty of other places for it to go from first!!!!

How much do u have to lose in total?

I feel like my boobs are getting smaller!! :(

Yay!!!! ?

Well done on losing that one stone btw!! :) 10stone 13 this morning me! :)

I don't understand ketosis 2bh. I'm very good when I'm just drinking shakes. I don't get hungry. When I feel like food, I make myself a camomile tea and then the feeling passes. I'm a daily weigher too. I know I shouldn't but hey ho! So cos of that I do eat when I go out. I'm not going out if I...

How much have u got to lose?

Ideally 3 stone - well 2 1/2 now!! :) Just under 11 stone right now. Aiming for 10 stone by end of oct and 9 stone by end of November!! :)

That's brilliant :)

Going out tonight!! Woohoo. Eaten a bit today as def going to drink tonight. :) Had a weigh in this morning, just at home and the trend is definitely going downwards!! :)

2bh it hasn't bothered me. I think the thought that I could eat if I wanted to, I'm just choosing not to, has helped me.

I was working today and had food. I figure when I do eat I'm only eating a bit and stick to cd mostly, I'll still lose right? Obv not as fast as I should do but I don't want to not go out and enjoy myself. Although I do need to ensure I don't just make excuses!

Excellent. Well done xx

Wow! That's a long day, and I bet there's tempting food at the nursery all the time too. I'm a maths teacher by trade although doing supply work at the moment as it fits in with my lifestyle better. It's a dogs life though sometimes I think!

Wow. You finish late?! Where'd u work? I haven't started on the tetras and stuff yet. Are they the same price? I'm sitting upstairs and refusing to go down! Got a 2litre bottle of water with me to fill me up.

Good day today. Had 2 shakes and some chicken this afternoon. 3 shakes tomorrow! :)

Yes it definitely does. So often you just put something in your mouth because you are bored, or stressed, or happy.

Don't feel like a failure! You've only put on 3lbs. Just think, it'll be off like a shot soon. :)

Brilliant!!!

That's amazing. You have inspired me to stick at it! :)

Yes I know!! I think it's just the idea that food will make u not so tired! Not so happening though!

What do you normally do at night? Watch tv? It's just habit isn't it? Maybe you can find something to do that involves your hands? Paint nails, have bath, etc?

Well u know what happened yesterday and today hasn't been much better. I ate chocolate today and I LOVE chocolate, but guess what? I found it too sweet!! How does that work? Back on track tomorrow and actually looking forward to my shakes!! :) I must be going insane. How's your week been?

Where is everyone?

Not too bad. I have cheated now and then, but to be fair, my main vices are chocolate and alcohol, and I haven't gone out so not missed the alcohol and when I've cheated with chocolate it just seems too strong for me, and the sugar has given me a headache. Where I can see myself losing weight is...

Well done!! :)

No I didn't as we were talking about me coming a CDC!! Well after the thrill of the weight loss, I came home to take my son to the doctor as he was wheezing all of last night. The doctor thought it was pneumonia and told me to go straight to the hospital! Obv all thoughts of shakes went...

Lost 6lbs at first weigh in!! :)

Lost 6lbs!!!!! Woooo hoooo!! That's even with my slip up. Well pleased! AND I can feel my ribs! :)

Will talk to CDC about it this morning then!! Weigh in in 1 hour 15 mins!! Very nervous! :s

My CDC has never mentioned buying ketone sticks. Are you craving food because you're hungry or just out of boredom?

That's fab! Well done. 11.2lbs in. 2 weeks on any other diet is nigh on impossible. Looking forward to weighing in tomorrow (I think!!) My CDC has not measured me. Only weighed.

How's everyone doing today? Vjs - am I correct in thinking its weigh day for you today?

Thank u! :)

They were yummy though!! ;)

Veg noodles from the Indian!! :s

Tuesday morning at 9!

My husband struggles a lot with the concept of 'support'! :cry: Is that the only reason? Cos you might get hungry? Do you think I've gained back everything I've been losing this week?

Damn my hubby and his darn take aways!! I CHEATED!! :mad: I just ate. Feel totally weak right now as I'd been doing well. Back on track tomorrow I know, but still. It's going to mess up my weighing in day. A question I'm struggling with... Whats the big deal about coming out of ketosis?

I have struggled today as well. Not been hungry per se, just very tempted by all the food around me!! :cry:

I'm sure I can vouch for the others and welcome u in with open arms!!! :) U been on CD for long?

Wow! That's a fabulous aim. Does you CDC think that's achievable?

That's fab!! How much more have u got to lose?

East of England. Near Cambridge,

I'm a scentsy consultant. We sell flame less candles. :)

I sneak check all the time!! Going to try very hard and not weigh myself till weigh in morning on Tuesday now though!! Went cinema today with kids. Took a bottle of water and that was that. Kids bought sweets but I wasn't even tempted!!! Woooo hoooo!!!

Love it!!!

Was it just the meat cos you should be ok if it was. Have either of u actually checked using ketone sticks?

That's not boring. Ive been very open about the diet as its very hard to explain why I'm drinking a herbal tea instead of alcohol!! I went to a house party tonight to sell the products i sell, and everyone was drinking wine and I stuck to ginger and lemon tea. I've been busy getting ready for...

Yes that's definitely true. You'll lose more initially if you've got more to lose. I've got 3 stone to lose, so I figure I can lose it by mid December which is my aim, as I'm off to Switzerland for a few days then with his side of the family, and they're all very skinny!!!

I thought the bars were just a solid version of the shakes? I'd assumed they wouldn't be carby. Sneaky weigh in this morning, and looks like the weight loss is still happening well. I won't write down weights though till my 'proper' weigh in on Tuesday. Very excited cos my stomach is definitely...

And you're right. It's a very big battle!!! I do find there's a sense of accomplishment though when everyone else is eating and I'm not. Makes you feel good! :)

First weigh in is Tuesday morning 9am!! Step 1 technically but like I said I haven't stuck to it fully! Have been weighing myself daily just to gauge what I'm doing. It's on a downward trend but we'll c. Going to be ver very good from now till Tuesday though as want a big loss!!!

I started this in jan and gave up. Keep losing the same few lbs over and over again. I want to lose 3 stone ideally. Started again last week and then stopped after 2 days as I realised I was going to be drinking over the weekend. Didn't cheat at all this Monday, Tuesday, and most of Wednesday...

Hi everyone. Can I join u? Xx

I've been trying to lose weight for two years, and I never seem to be in the right 'head space' for it! :s I was working a long day today. I didn't eat at all during the day but when I got home and ate with the kids. Not healthy things but I calorie counted and it was less than 600cals. Will be...

Oh dear!! The slippery slope has started!

Managed to stick to it when I went on a school trip with my son. Have come home and had two fish fingers though!! :s

I restarted yesterday. Was expecting today to be really hard but so far ok.

Congratulations!!!

Still not feeling too bad actually!!! Slight headache coming along but I'm going to take some painkillers soon and drink lots of water, and hoping for the best!

First day done. Don't feel bad at all actually. Haven't drunk as much water as I should have done though although have had a few teas. Second day is harder than first. Not really planning to do much tomorrow.

Back on Cambridge today. Hopefully this time I can get past two days!

Good luck!!

That's alright. I'm just glad I'm not talking to myself. I've stopped Cambridge for next couple of days as my cousins are coming round this weekend on an impromptu visit and there will be lots of alcohol involved. Start again Sunday. I am trying to be low carb at the mo but it's not really...

I need to lose at least 2 stones and just can't get in the right frame of mind for it!!! What is wrong with me? :(

Day 2: Woke up with a massive headache!!! :( Not hungry though. Just having a ginger and lemon tea.

You look AMAZING!!!!

You look fab!

Eugh! Just had the potato and leek soup. Not having that again!!

It's great. Just had my second shake - butterscotch. So far so good. :)

Having my first shake now. Fruits of the forest. Great with ice. :)

First day today. I'm not really a breakfast person so think I'm just going to have a ginger and lemon tea this morning, and then will have a shake when I get back from jhoom. Here's to a new me. ?

:wave_cry: I start sole source tomorrow!!! Height: 5' 2.75" current weight: 11 stone 6lbs goal weight 1: 11 stone goal weight 2: 10 stone ultimate goal weight: 8.5 stone

Thank u so much for your kind words. I do remind myself of these things but sometimes the stress of work and my own children make me put myself down at the bottom of the pile!! I am worth it. Thank you for helping me remember!! Xx

Went back to work today. Didn't stick to cd. Peeved off with myself at this point. I'm a teacher so stress is par for the course, but our school is going on a bullying mission at the moment as management can't do their job properly. I did go in today with the intention of handing in my notice...

Yes that's what I feel right now!! Eating all the chocolate didn't make me feel any better. I still have the same problems as I did last night.

My son was wheezing all last night. Also got some sad news about my Cous in Canada. So I couldn't go to work today and just ate all the chocolate in the house!!! Feel gross right now though. :s

Fallen off the band wagon quite spectacularly this weekend. I know now though that I can restart this and do well so that's what I'm going to do!! Happy thoughts!

Went out last night and had a fabulous time with lots of food and even more alcohol!! Back on cd today though!! :)

Yay!! Lost 4lbs! Considering it's my TOTM and the fact that I veered off course during the week, I'm ecstatic!! CDC also said she could see my face was less round. I was thinking that too but didn't know if it was wishful thinking!!! :p

Weigh in tomorrow!!!

Totally veered off course today but thing is I'm not worried. I know it's only a setback which I can spring back from!! :)

Day 5!! :)

End of day 4 and feeling great!! :D

Just had the veggie soup to warm me up. Very nice!! :) I'm liking the soups more than the shakes. Been thinking of a treat for when I reach the 1 stone lost Mark! Any ideas? Xx

Thanks. Will try!!

I was hoping that when they're older, I could sleep?! There's goes that then!!

Hi, I wanted a warm shake this morning. Which 1s do u recommend? X

It's TOTM now. :( That means I probs won't see a major difference in scales this week when I go to see CDC on Friday!! However I'm hoping that means when I go next week it'll be humongous!!!
