How's it going my lovely? x

Ah thank you! :D Enjoying step 3 very much. I am constantly full though, and I feel like I have perhaps snacked on one too many grapes?! Insane to worry about eating a few extra grapes, right? Other than that, stuck to it :)

Ooh exciting! You're do so well xxx

haha! I'll be happy when I'm under 120! Hopefully just a few months now.. Lost a pitiful 0.2lb this week, not a surprise considering I'm incredibly bloated and retaining water like crazy! Now onto step 3. Very, very excited to eat muesli, strawberries, grapes, apples, raspberries etc ah!! :) xxx

thanks girlies :) :) Still no cheating, there are packs of toffee muffins and chocolate chip muffins downstairs. I don't know why but I think this is the biggest temptation for me so far.. Maybe because I'm due on. But I even picked them up to evaluate the calories. Didn't eat them...

omg I think this all the time! But 52 days is amazing, you should be very proud xx

glad it's going well for you hun :) x

Actually become obsessed with food. I'm honestly salivating over pictures of pecan pie... i've never even eaten pecan pie! And now I've found recipes for pecan pie cookies, and pecan pie bars and I now just want to eat myself to death. When I've reached my goal weight I can't wait to have a...

I did, thank you :) x A crappy 0.6lb this week. Blah.

best of luck :) x

Same :/ I get/had that with all my shakes though, but it doesn't bother me too much. How's it been for you the past couple days? :) x

Ah thank you :) Went out last night.. Went to the harvester instead of Nando's and just had the chicken breast and a teeny salad of lettuce, onion and pepper. Gave my chips away to somebody else, funny this is I wasn't even tempted! Had 2 double vodka & 2 single vodka and diet cokes... I...

Im sure it will pass soon :) which bars are your favourite?x

Brilliant, well done! Xx

Yep ! I loved having a bit of yoghurt each day but found I kept going over the limit by having an extra spoonful when Id go in the fridge or something ;/ so removed the temptation completely. That's a really good idea though! Yeah defo. I don't think there's too much of a difference loss wise...

You look incredible! So inspiring x

Wasn't a fan of the porridge! Id eat it, but defo products that I prefer. I think I've found my favourites now, and I'm to scared to deviate lol... I love having the vanilla one warm with coffee in. xx

Exactly girlies :) Feeling a bit blah because I feel like 2lbs will roughly be my maximum loss each week now, so it's months until I'm at the stage im happy with! Might have to go back to the dreaded gym to speed it up, something I'm really not confident doing.... Also planning a belated...

I was like that, but you can have a bit of natural yoghurt instead :) I'm lazy when it comes to cooking, so mostly just have scrambled eggs for breakfast and then 80g of veg for dinner, occasionally a rocket salad. I was only allowed to do SS for 2 weeks so didn't really have much time to...

ohh no I meant going to 8st3 by going through the steps :) Not skipping anything, no chance I'm risking gaining x

Fingers crossed for ya! Anything you're looking forward to eating on 810? I love my scrambled eggs in the morning haha x

Thank you both, you're so lovely :) Erm 4lbs away from 9st3! :) Plan to reach about 8st3ish with CD and then see if I still want to get any smaller on my own by gym/general healthy eating, so not long left for me, hopefully! Unfortunately as I don't realistically have that much to lose...

honk for the last month haven't cheated once :eek:

amazing loss! Well done xx

hehe, I got what ya meant ;) Lost 1.6lbs this week, not disappointed (surprisingly) because of the amount of times I've been told I've lost weight this week. Very happy. Planning on going up to step 3 when I hit around 9st3ish... I think it depends on how I look/feel though rather than the...

Well done hun! You're doing so well xx

Thank you so much hun xx

Absolutely thrilled for you, well done ! xxx

You're doing so well :D so happy for you xx

Ah see I'm a total glutton when it comes to chocolate, I never seem to feel sick no matter how much I eat. I want the peanut butter one so bad! xx

Completely agree with that! Luckily feeling happier today, probably due to my loooong sleep last night. Went to weigh in today, 4.4lbs, soo happy!!

Im not sure, probably! I Barely made an effort with my appearance which would have tipped her off... Lol! I meant the other way round, naked at home and clothed with my CDC hahaha! Xx

Unfortunately not, felt very self conscious all night. And I'm a bit of a grump today too... I'm thinking perhaps it's post-menstrual stress or something, I tend to feel more stressed after than before a lot of the time. This week is the only time I've weighed myself other than with my CDC...

I still watch come dine with me to, oddly doesn't make me hungry though! Adverts for food do, I keep hearing the kit Kat one on the radio at work, makes me want one badly! Ah I haven't tried any of the bars yet.. Your little break sounds exciting :) x

Yay! Got my fingers crossed for you x

Thank you both, you're very sweet. Cxx Scales are saying I'm heavier than 2 days ago, praying it's just water retention and going to try drink 4L today! 2L down already.

Thank you lovely!! Xxx Feeling very down on myself today, can't look in the mirror without having a bit of a cry. ..Going out for a "drink" with my friend (water if youre me) and dreading it.

Struggling today. Think I've gone over my milk/yoghurt allowance by a bit...

TOTM, craving food. I cheekily weighed myself this morning and happy with what I saw. It will vary a lot from my CDCs scales though, I think.

:)! How did today go? x

Reading The Help at the moment. Not a book I was interested in really but it seems to be popular so giving it a go. Nice and easy read.

Oilatum is supposed to be very good, I don't think it's too pricey either.

I guess so :D keeping a smile on my face, definitely a lot less bloated now which is great. Ahh don't feel bad about a chicken breast :) its basically SS+ and my CDC reckons there is practically no difference in losses between ss and SS+ :) xx

Hmmm, if I were you I'd look at it like this: Don't feel bad that you ate a chicken breast, feel proud that instead of eating something high in sugar, fat, carbs etc to satisfy yourself you chose something healthy! Sounds silly, but that's progress :)

Good to hear! :) Defo know what you mean, my family just ordered pizza so I've shut myself in my room.. I hope there are no left overs when I go in the kitchen!! Much, thank you :) xx

Thanks my lovely. How are you doing today? :) x

Well done! xx

You have amazing legs! xx

Best of luck with your weigh in :) x

Good luck! xx

Thanks my lovely! Starting to get my positivity back, helped by the fact all the water and lack of sugary foods has improved my skin a lot. Made a yummy dinner today, can't believe it was healthy when it tasted so good. The key is to add a silly amount of spices and herbs, I'm thinking. Also...

Not 100% but not crying or feeling sorry for myself any more so better :) thank you xxx

Brilliant! Good job xxx

That's great, well done! x

Thanks so much hun, sorry didn't mean to ignore your other post, was in a bit of a state and couldn't stop crying! Calmed down now and carrying it on. Giving it another week or two and if I'm still really unhappy with the losses I'm getting I'm going to have to quit CD because I can't afford...

Gained over a pound this week. I'm so, so upset. I know it's not usual when you go from SS to 810 but I don't care. I've worked so hard for it and I've got nothing to show for it. So upset.

Ah thank you :) I actually love having the vanilla shakes warm in the morning and adding coffee. I look forward go if so much haha. Had an interesting conversation last night. I was trying to think of the first "naughty" thing I will eat when I'm at my goal weight, and the thought terrified...

Still a bloated tummy, very uncomfortable. Had scrambled egg for breakfast then some veg for dinner. Keep wanting to eat a bit more yoghurt than I'm allowed but resisting. Surprised at myself for not breaking this diet once!

1. DisneyParis - 14lbs 2. Oscars mum - 14lbs 3. Sainsbury84 - 14lbs 4. IWillBeAYummyMummy - 20lbs (7lbs gone 13lbs to go) 5. Linda S - 14lbs 6. Chelles - 16lbs 7. Yolande -14lbs 8. MissCD - 16lbs 9. lastbiscuit - 14lbs 10. Willbeyummy - 15lbs 11. spangles 7lbs 12. Sarah Lou - 14lbs...

Haha I just seem to be waking up easily no matter what time really! Ah don't know how you do it, I love sleep so much. Aw thank you :D so, so, soooo bloated. I guess my tummy is still adjusting to digesting food because it's sticking out about 20 feet and is rock hard. Frustrating because...

loved, loved, loooved your reasons! Inspires me to write some of my own xx

Ah well done!! 23 days is amazing x

All the best! I was shocked by the powdered sweetener as well, tablet ones just aren't as nice lol xx

Haven't tried any of the bars yet as chocolate-y things were always a binge thing for me, can't just have a little of it! Glad to hear you found one you liked :D Sorry to hear you didn't like the soups, are u able to go back to your CDC and swap any left overs? X

Stunning! Had a nose through your diary, you're very inspirational! Gorgeous dress x

You can do it :) this forum is a great place to keep you focussed, lots of lovely support x

Hmm fingers crossed I haven't, stuck to it completely so it would make me a little upset! Had a broccoli and asparagus omelette for dinner, added a few herbs but was pretty bland lol. Very much enjoying my yoghurt allowance though. My face/shoulders are looking a little slimmer I noticed today...

That sounds like a good idea :) Had tummy rumbles today, I guess 810 has taken me out of ketosis? :(

I'm yet another person reading Room. Halfway through it, I can't put it down! Best 99p I've ever spent on iTunes, definitely recommend it!

Ah defo not! I don't plan to never eat anything unhealthy again, I just plan to do it in moderation and very rarely! And not feel guilty about it either. A treat rather than something id eat daily like before lol xx

Thank you :) Defo, I'm gonna try a few more recipes in the near future, but when I'm busy just stick to scrambled eggs and a bit of salad lol x

Thank you :) I'm STUFFED I've had 3 shakes, 200ml of soya milk, 90g of yoghurt, and then my attempt at that recipe... It turned out okay, I'm a terrible cook in all honesty. Didn't taste like masala but then I did miss out a few ingredients.. It tasted like garlic/coriander chicken with...

Well done! Not at all, I can't wait to be able to have the occasional treat once I've reached my gw. And I'd kill for a peanut butter kit kat.

Thank you :) went to Tesco today and bought all my ingredients! Instead of just having milk I'm having a mixture of soya milk (yum) and 0% fat yoghurt. I feel like I can eat so much! 3 packs, milk/yoghurt and a meal. Just had about 90g of yoghurt and I feel stuffed lol. Planning on making the...

Love that. Nobody else can do it for us! Absolutely. Xx

Loving the positive attitude! You can do it :D xx

Good luck, time to prove those people wrong :) xxxx

Best of luck :D x

2.2lbs this week :) 1 and a half inches from waist 1 inch from hips half an inch from bust half an inch from arms Because my BMI is 25.9 I'm now going onto 810, very nervous!!

Thanks Hun, the worst have gone now! Feel awful skipping out of work but will go in tomorrow on my day off to make up for it.

You're amazing, well done xx

So chuffed for you. Well done! Xx

Thanks everyone Not feeling great today, had to leave work with terrible tummy pains

Good luck for your weigh in :) Must be so helpful to have your partner also doing it x

Let me know how you get on with them :) I just tried on a couple bits of clothing that were previously too tight and they fit a little better now :D Lots of work still to do, but pretty exciting. I'm really craving chinese food though. blah. But weigh in tomorrow, staying focused!

last night I dreamt I ate a massive pizza, cookies and lots of ice cream, and I think I was then searching for more food.... Was so relieved when I woke up!

Agree with the above :) I personally love the MAC products I own and don't regret spending the money on them. The products I would recommend are the eyeshadows, blushes, lipsticks and brushes. For the price they're really good and the best thing imo is the wide colour range. I think if you...

Something medium coverage may help :) Moisturise first.. I think the Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua might be good for you, it's meant to be quite light on the skin but with decent coverage. Quite pricey though. I quite like Revlon Photoready, it doesn't cling to dry skin imo. Decent coverage too. x

Going to be realistic with myself and go for 7lbs..

I actually find them the most filling! I guess they feel more like a meal to me. I like the taste of them but never been a soup person so find it more of a "have to have a soup tonight" rather than when i wake up like "mm chocolate shake" haha. Yeah exactly. I've told people I can't drink...

Exactly the way I thought when I only lost 4lbs my first week :( Just keep up the hope that the losses will get better :) xx

Ah thank you :) Might skip the party because it seems like a massive inconvenience to get there & back and there's somebody's, erm, advances I'd quite like to avoid! Much safer staying home and having a shake lol. This also means I can go to my CDC on Monday and not have any shake shortages...

I understand where you're coming from, honestly! But! The way I've been looking at it recently to cheer me up a bit is at least I'm not gaining weight, it's impossible. That was something I was worried about before, but now I know no matter what I'm not gaining! It sucks because you worked...

How was your walk? :)

You're doing well :D Hot toffee and walnut all the way! x

amazing!! So happy for you xx

Agreed, the worst thing you can do is let it stop you from carrying on :) xxx

I dreamt about food so much to begin with! Glad it's going well for you xx

Crap, I'm going to be two shakes short on Tuesday and I'm not seeing my CDC until 7:10 in the evening! Will have to tough it out and have one around 2ish, one 7:30 and then one at around 9ish... Hopefully it won't be too tough! Going to a party on Monday night, everyone's going to be drinking...

Thank you all xx Definitely trying to look on the bright side of it! xx

Wow!! Well done! Xx

Well done on your loss, amazing! X

I'm doing well thank you! Appetite is practically non-existent at the point. I lost a disappointing 4.4lbs (disappointing because I stuck to it completely!) x

Ah go for it :) I'm always changing what I want so I can imagine that list being completely different in a few weeks haha x

Aw that's sweet :) I say 5ft1 but I think I may be half an inch under that haha. Aw thank you, your weight loss has definitely inspired me, seen your pictures and you look great x

Wow my weight loss rewards are pretty extravagant, think I might bankrupt myself! It should help motivate me though! As I'm a massive geek I did make a picture of it all last night: clicky click But in writing: 137lbs: Room by Emma Donaghue (book) 135lbs: Shawshank Redemption...

Wow, you must of been so tiny, glad you're finding your way out of the problem now though :) Thank you, it's definitely something I'm planning to address. Ah really? I'll have to do read that while i'm bored at work tomorrow (:o ) I'm honestly very grateful that you're trying to help :)...

I get this! Having a shake always make me want to eat afterwards? I suppose that's a habit from food, once I eat something I want to eat eeeverything.

Keep your chin up beautiful! Don't let a little lapse ruin it entirely. You can turn it around :) xxx

omg that looks incredible! Pack me in your suitcase?

Ahh I miss my hipbones! Thank you! Not looking to great atm but just a matter of time. Thanks Lara, I think that's something I should definitely look into. My relationship with food is far from healthy I either eat practically nothing or everything in sight.. Thanks for the book...

congratulations, that is amazing!!

wow, well done on your loss! x

Thanks lovely! Yep other than an extra shake yesterday I've stuck to it 100%. Been very active today as well, been sanding and painting walls with a roller... Rather than my usual 9 hours of sitting at a desk each day! x

I just tried it, you are right it is amazing! Feels so naughty haha, definitely getting more of them next week.

Ah thank you, I had cheekbones and everything once upon a time! Well we're gonna find them again :) Just a matter of time ay! xx

Well done for making it through! xx

Aah here. First two photos I was about 12st, 3rd I was around 8st8ish, and then the last one which is a rubbish example was me on NYE, roughly 10st I'd say. Couldn't find a recent picture, been avoiding any kind of camera recently.

Well done :D x

Ah I love curry so I can imagine! I was 18 haha, it was only 6/7 months ago! I was around 8st9 maximum, so not even my ultimate goal weight! I think the dress was fairly flattering though. Still had chubby thighs as well. I can't wait to be able to dress nicely again, I'm such a frump atm. I...

You're most welcome, honestly. And if works not going to well you could try and focus on CD - at least that will be going well :) xx

Yes! I'd kill for her 22" waist, it's incredible.

You can do this! I feel like a hypocrite because like you I often find my motivation fading fast, but here as some things I try to remember to spur me on, fingers crossed these can help you too: 1. What is worse? Depriving yourself of delicious but unhealthy food for a few months, of...

Please excuse my bizarre pouting (:confused:) and size of the pic but look how skinny I was! And there I was still dreaming of losing weight. Will not take it for granted when I get to this weight again! Planning up my rewards now, a lovely place for my materialism to shine. Exciting!

Glad I read this, was actually planning on skipping! Gonna have a shake now. Ah what did you cook, anything nice? x

good luck! Fingers crossed for ya x

considering whether or not to have only 2 packs today to make up for it :/ not feeling hungry today so it could be a possibility. Ha same, other wise I wouldn't be in this situation :( x A quote that's helping me: "Don't give up what you want the most for something you want in the moment."

9 inches is amazing! So happy things are going well for you.

ah well done :) Amazing.

Well done on finishing your first week! Such a good loss :D

In my dreams! I'd get rid of all the food haha. Nope, the rest of my household have terrible diets filled with chocolate biscuits and lots of bread.

You look amazing, well done! X

There are a pack of chocolate bars in the fridge just looking at me...

Ah well done for doing so well :D the week goes quicker than you'd think x

My reasons are the same as yours tbh! They're not stupid, nothing wrong with wanting to feel attractive and comfortable with yourself. X

Ah well done :) brilliant start

Defo. I did have an extra shake just now because I really felt like I was going to cave! I guess that's allowed in SS+ but I feel a bit frustrated with myself. Also my CDC said its likely that the second week loss will be less... I can imagine how upset/disappointed I'll be already! Eff it...

Thank you :) Doing another week of SS. Erm I actually feel a little demotivated and this is the closest I've come to giving in to eating food! I dunno what's wrong, I was genuinely happy with the inch loss. Pushing through it, I won't regret not eating but I will regret eating! X

Honk!

My mum was like this. Said it was a waste of money and I'd gain it all back. Strangely it makes me motivated to prove her wrong! X

Lol its such a relief when you wake up and realise you haven't eaten a whole pizza! Only lost 4.4lbs which was slightly disappointing considering I didn't cheat once :( however I'm aware my loss will be slower than somebody who weighs more. But! I did better on inch loss: Waist: 1.5inches Arm...

You're stunning! Amazing, honestly.

You look lovely, your legs are incredible

Good luck!

Thank you, honestly, you're actually motivating me to drink silly amounts of water and keep on going! Ah how much did you lose? I'm finding it difficult to sleep too. I keep thinking about food, I swear I dream about eating junk food every night haha. What shakes are your favourite? I've...

Well done on the 5lbs! Love the bikini's as well

Love the idea of rewards, might have to pinch it! :) Best of luck, every time I read your posts I remind myself I have to try the choc orange shake!

I feel like it's a bit of both? I don't have any other hunger symptoms other than hunger pangs so maybe I'm just being a baby. I might give the hot water a go, thank you :) Ah yeah I haven't broke it in the slightest, I know I should feel proud and happy but I actually feel a little...

Omg. My mums making an amazing Sunday dinner, has the choice of apple crumble or toffee cheesecake for dessert. So, so jealous. But mentally I know I CANT eat it which is odd. I don't feel too tempted just really jealous. Still feeling a little hungry today, it only subsides after I've had a...

I'm not sure! My stomach feels really empty and a little rumbly. Yep drinking lots and lots of water as we speak x

You look absolutely stunning!

Ah well done! :)

This is the hardest day for me so far, really tempted to eat something! Hungriest I've felt :( Really hoped I'd stop feeling hungry by now! Determined not to give in... I feel like I'm experiencing water retention my whole stomach is bloated up, I look pregnant... Not a positive experience...

Ah Turkey sounds gorgeous, nothing like the prospect of wearing a bikini to motivate weight loss! Good luck with your weigh in :)

I used to struggle to fit into a size 16 so not too devastated with being a size 10 but was much happier a teeny size 8 lol. Ah I hope so! I don't think I'm experiencing it yet because I still get the odd hunger pain

Start weight is 10st3 :( and yep, 3 packs a day. Only been doing it for 4 days though.

Ah fingers crossed :) I find it hard to stop once I start which is why I needed something as strict as CD. Ah fingers crossed by the time I do 810 I'll feel confident enough to go back to the gym! Been avoiding the place for 2 months :eek: x

Exactly :) I didn't do CD first time round, I lost it gradually over 2 years by not eating enough and always being on my feet at work.. not something that I'd recommend, sort of a starve/binge circle. I gained it all back due to getting too comfortable, losing control and serious binge days...

well done on your loss! You'll be in one of those gorgeous swimsuits before you know it.

Thank you, that's really lovely of you :) Ah weight gain happens so quickly and easily, really difficult to stop yourself imo. But we've done well to pull ourselves out of it!

haha! the way my CDC explained it to me was that once my bmi is around 24 (healthy limit) it won't be necessary/recommended for me to do SS. Same kinda, the lightest I've ever been was 8st6 so I'd like to get back to around that stage asap. Definitely, it's hard to know what you're going to...

Yeah I definitely feel the same about the time thing. But I think any other diet would be twice as long. Also I don't think I'll be allowed to do SS for more than 2 weeks because my bmi will go too low, so I'll have to introduce actual food (which makes me really nervous!) That means the lack...

Oh no I definitely no what you mean, I really miss looking forward to food, and chewing! Dinner smells so good tonight it's killing me. Ahh bless your son haha! I'm exactly the same. I want to do it 100% I don't want to waste time and money by being weak-willed. We can do it :)

Ah thanks, same to you :) Yeah not bad at all, I do have moments where I really crave food but I'm not going to let it beat me, I can't afford to pay £42 and waste it by being weak! How about you?

Aw thanks very much! Got a lovely text from my CDC this morning asking how it's going and telling me that I'm brilliant, really made smile bless her. Ah that's so good! I kind of struggle to drink 3L but definitely feeling more thirsty now. Ah I'm dreading if I get bad breath :/ hahahahah...

Well done :) You must be so happy

Good luck! How's it going so far?

Good luck for your weigh in! I can understand what you're saying, definitely, but don't let it demotivate you. You've done so well to stick to it! Ask your CDC about the slendertone thing and see what they say :)

You're doing so well! Well done for not giving in, you honestly inspire me.

Hi Lou :) Yeah it went well thanks, did get a bit of tummy rumbling going on between my lunch and dinner but made it through. Also managed to drink another 3L of water so chuffed at that! I had the porridge for breakfast again (probably won't choose this item next week, not that much of a fan)...

That's an amazing loss! So happy for you :)

Ahh well done! That's amazing

Day 1: Breakfast: Maple & pecan porridge Lunch: Butterscotch shake Dinner: Chilli soup hmm, the porridge was ok, didn't taste like porridge in the slightest! Not too bad though. I can't say I liked the shake too much but will happily drink it, again I didn't find it tasted of butterscotch...

You look amazing! You have such a lovely figure.

Hi! Completely new to this forum, decided to sign up after a bit of browsing through the posts, everyone really inspired me! My name's Natalie and I'm 18. Basically, I lost 4 stone previously over the space of 2 years, never reached the weight I wanted to, and have gained almost 2 stone in...
