That should be 13st 7lb not 13st, getting carried away.

Hello, I haven't posted much for a while but I thought I'd give a quick update. I've just finished week 13 and I've now gone from 23st 7lb to 17st 6lb, that's a total loss of 85lbs. To say I'm pleased would be an understatement. Things looking good to hit my target of 13st around my birthday...

Well done, I've just finished my week on a bit of chicken and veg after twelve weeks and five and a half stone and believe me it is well worth waiting for, absolutely delicious!!!! Enjoy your holiday, you've earnt it.

Hello, I don't know if it's different people but I take them as they are, 2, thirty minutes before a meal and they work fine.

Hello, I haven't been on for I while but I thought I should mention my weight loss on SS which will lead on to my Marathon run in April. As I'm sure you all find, there can be differences between your own scales and those of your CDC so naturally I'm going to show my weight loss on my scales...

Hello cah-ching, I used to run when I lost a lot of weight about 12years ago (obviously put it all back!) but now I am an enthusiastic walker even at my highest weight but I know that I'm going to have to get serious. I'm not going to be able to start running until I've lost at least another 2 -...

Hello Camilla, I got involved because a friend's granddaughter has CP and he agrees.

As soon as I can either work out how, or I am allowed, I'll post a couple of pictures from past SCOPE trips.

Thanks Nicki, I'll keep people informed. Hello emma, I was too late for the ballot and thought I'd have no chance so I sent in an application to SCOPE hoping that because I'd done stuff for them in the past they'd let me in and they did. All I can suggest is that you go to their website and send...

Thanks Nicki, I'm running for SCOPE, for peopke with Cerebral Palsy, I did some long haul walks for them a few years ago, (Sinai Desert, Great Wall of China, White Water Rafting on the Zambezi) but not for a few years and this is going to be a bit different.

I've just had my place confirmed in next year's London Marathon.............ULP!!! That's the easy bit done, now all I've got to do is lose another 5.5 stone (and keep it off!), get fit and raise the sponsorship money. Easy peasy! I'll try and keep this thread going over the coming months. All...

Don't worry, I only lost a couple last week but it looks like six or seven this week, dont let it get you down

Hello, if you can't get a shaker from your cdc you can buy one from Holland and Barrat, £3.99. Hope it goes well, it will be gone before you know it.

Looks like I've got a place, just waiting for confirmation. I'll start a new thread when it comes through.

Welcome Mick, keep it up it's well worth the effort.

I'll second what SuffolkGuy said, don't let anyone try and persuade you that what your are doing is not well worth the effort. I'm now in my 8th week without cheating and I'm feeling better than I have for years. I went to Chessington last year and had to face getting off one of the rides and...

Hello SuffolkGuy, you seem to be losing at about the same rate as me and a couple of stone lighter, it's definitely worth the effort.

Well done Paul, there's a bloke called MooCow who is thinking about starting, it might be good to post on his thread.

Im here as well, seven weeks, three and ahalf stone, I cget on here every now and again.

Hello, I'm on my seventh week and would reccomend it to anyone. I am 51 and started at around 23.5 stone and I have now lost three stone (three and a half by my scales!) The previous advice is all good, talk to a councellor and listen to what they say. No diet is easy, you can't do it without...

Update on my questions about coming off of my diabetes medication, I went to my diabetes clinic on Friday and told the doctor what I'd done..........she went loopy and put me straight back on! I won't go into all the details but I'll just say don't do it without talking to your doctor. I suppose...

I want to try and get a place in the 2009 London Marathon. I have been looking for a target to aim for and I can't think of a better one. I have applied through a couple of sources but if anyone has a place that they don't need I would love to take it. We could discuss where the funds raised...

I know it's down to personal taste but I think they're great. The cranberry one has a little bit of an artificial taste but that's all.

I started on the bars on week 2. I have tried caramel, malt toffee, peanut, cranberry and a sort of dark chocolate orange. These are all delicious. The first two are a sort of soft toffee consistency and the cranberry and peanut:) are like a chocolate covered muesli bar. I don't know why it...

I'm on week seven and I still fancy food but I'm not actually hungry. Are you really hungry or is it just the thought of eating that you're struggling with ?. All the bars that I've had are great and I look forward to them every day.

All the bars are great but make sure you only have one a day, after a while I can now make one last fur about 45 mins, especially the caramel.:)

I lost about seven stone ten years ago and one of the main reasons I put it back was that I couldn't convince myself that I could see any difference. This time I've lost about 3st so far on SS and I'm relying on the scales, my clothes and people I see every couple of weeks to tell me I'm losing...

Thanks for the comments, I'm at a diabetes clinic next Friday so I can check it then. By the way, I had my weigh in last night and I was exactly 1 stone down on my previous wi two weeks before, made the deprivation on holiday worthwhile.

Hello, I'm just ending week 5 on SS and after 2 weeks I came off my medication (Avandamet) and monitored my levels several times a day and have stayed inside the parameters since. I've also come off my cholesterol tablets too, I'm checking those levels on a weekly basis (5.99 a test, special...

Just got back from a week in Turkey, (not a brilliant idea as I have been fantasising about kebabs) and feel very smug because I took all my stuff with me and didn't crack under the pressure once. I now hope that it will be reflected in my weigh in on Monday. I had a disappointing week before I...

:sign0144: Hello, this is my first posting, so I'll be brief. Just beginning my fourth week on SS, started at 23st 7lb, after second week weigh in on 22st 5lb, (a bit less on my scales.) looking at about another five pounds off at weigh in tomorrow. Please keep up the postings, they are an...
