Right so from the 1st Oct i'm going back on track 100 % need to get this weight shifted now!

Hope things with your friend are improving hun, and well done on the great loss!

Well Done hun you're doing brilliantly

Take the calories out of your snacks or dinner allowance. I have worked out that a cup of tea with semi skimmed milk n no sugar is about 25 cal so my 4 cups of tea a day make up one of my 100 cal snacks

I locve the show, the cookbook is already out and I've already brought it. Try the egg bacon and asparagus flan, it's amazing!

Pretty much on track today, Breakfast was a shake Lunch was home made veggie soup at 200 cal snacks have been cups of tea and a few sweets Dinner is going to be torilla less fajitas

That's a great loss, don't fret the off days we all have them from time to time, just get back on track and keep going!

Hey, good luck :D

Sound's great, keep up the hard work!

Good Plan!

I'd heard this but from what I read it wasn't a great as it sounded. And it was about 70cal a day as long as you were drinking the recommended 8 glasses a day. Although if that's everyday it does add up over time.

I'm not thinking that far ahead, it seems a long way off and is quite daunting. I'm setting myself mini goals, My plan is Every time I drop a dress size I buy myself a new top that I like for a night out.

Just keep busy and active, I find my biggest problem when i'm not working is boredom, it's so easy to sit in front of the TV and reach for a bag of crisps on a weekend after a busy week at work, but just go out for a walk, go see a movie, take up knitting (i've actually done this everyone I know...

Back on diet from monday, I haven't been strict enough with myself for the maintenance at the moment and need to lose a couple of pounds to fit comfortably in my dress. It still fastens at the moment but it's tight. My friends wedding is 2 weeks away so in theory I'm dieting this week to lose a...

Oooh I brought the hairy dieters book today, it's got some awesome recipes in it n it even has pie! I'm so excited to start cooking some of the recipes! But tonight I'm having what I affectionatly call using up the vegetables that are on the turn in the fridge soup. This time it's got...

Good luck hun

Marinated chicken breast, cabbage and mash tonight. 550 cal

cottage pie made with leeky potatoes so I have less carbs n more veg. 500 cal

Hey, Good luck :D

Home made butter nut squash and red pepper soup, with a wholemeal bread roll and some margarine. total 400 cal

Good luck hun, hope it works for you

Cool keep it up!

Glad you had a great time. I know how it can be trying to get back into it after a holiday. I was the same when I came back from Spain.

good luck :)

I'm managing to maintain at the moment. I'm having a shake for breakfast a 500 cal lunch and a 600 cal tea with 3 100 cal snack taking me upto 1600 cal a day. I've also brought the new hairy bikers diet book, it has some great meal ideas and even has a chapter on pie. I'm definitely going to...

Hey, Good luck :D

Haha! That sounds great!

I lose about 2lb a week on it, I'm happy with that it's going in the right direction

Hey, hope it works for you this time :D

Good luck hun.

That's fantastic! :D

Well knowing the dress needed to be altered and was a lovely boost and would usually spur me to keep going, but this time i can't lol. I'm hoping in 6 weeks time I can get back in the zone again, cos i still have a way to go. I think i'm going to stick with a shake for breakfast, then have a...

Thanks :) I actually need to maintain my current weight for the next 6 weeks. I've just been for a dress fitting for a wedding i'm bridesmaid in for 6 weeks time and it has to be taken in about 3 inches *does happy dance* but it will be too close to the wedding to alter it that much next time i...

Keep it up hun you are doing so well!

when I stick strictly to SF I lose about 2lb a week every week. That's enough for me it's going in the right direction. I want to lose 3st in total. I'm having trouble with my will power at the moment though.

Tonight I've had chicken and Bacon Salad with some Feta, it was mostly salad with a bit of chicken bacon n cheese for flavour. I measured it out to 450 cal

LEt us know how you get on with it. I#m tempted by it but exercise scares me lol

Thanks hun, I'm really struggling to stay on plan at the moment so any loss makes me happy... bloody pmt!

2lb loss this week

Good Ole Beans on toast tonight. 541 Cal

One birdsye mexican chicken chargrill, instant mash and baked beans. 550 cals

Good luck hun!

You've done so great to get as far as you have now hun! Chin up! Keep going!

I'm having home made curry tonight.

Aww Congrats hun

Well it doesn't sound like it will be too damaging, maybe have less snacks that day just in case.

Going to search the kitchen now for something...not at all sure what I fancy today.

Does the menu not have an under 600 cal option highlighted on it? Some places do. You are doing the right thing by sticking to tomato based sauces rather than creamy sauces with your pasta.

It was. I used to make it with bacon and full fat philly, it's just as nice this way though

That's really good progress hun, Well done!

I've had home made maceroni cheese made with low fat philadelphia, with ham and sweet corn, and a mixed salad. Came in just over 600 cal.

I don't drive and I hate catching the bus so I tend to walk most places that I can.

Awww no, Hope you feel better soon hun :(

It's just less than a mile away. I always walk too and from work.

Tonight I had sausage casserole, If I worked it out right when I made it and portioned it up it's about 600 cal. If I'm making a casserole or stew of some kind I tend to make enough for 4 and portion it up and freeze it.

Sounds like a great idea!

Thanks, and I'll walk too and from work tomorrow too so I stave off even more guilt lol

Oooh good question. I'd say your favourite movie on the sofa in your pjs...... it's my favourite hobby now lol

I've had the one glass. walked to the super market n back to get it to make up for it though (20min walk each way) So I don't feel too guilty lol

Well I've probably worked it off cleaning up after the flood. Tempted by a glass of wine tonight, because It's just been one of those days, but resisting so far. Just gone to have my normal 600 cal meal tonight becuase I don't think a shake will suffice. It's not looking at all tempting.

Well todays gone totally tits up, all the rain we had this morning meant a flood at work, n i've spent all mornin helping clean that up! I'm now home as I need a change of clothes n stuff and so i'm having lunch at home. my shake is at work still so ham sandwhiches it is!

Thats really good hun, I love that fitting into things feeling!

Ooh Thanks, I'll give that a try.

I mean obviously it's better for you if you have a nutritionally balanced 600 cal meal, but having a small dessert every now and then can't hurt

That's really not that bad at all. This time last year I put 7lb on in 2 weeks on holiday. Hope it all goes well from now on!

think I'm mostly on track this week, Last couple of weeks haven't been too good, I had a birthday and a promotion to celebrate so I kinda forgot completely about the diet. Haven't been completely on track this week but it's been better. Weigh day is monday so We'll find out then. Hoping I'll...

Housecat I have hypermobility too. My physio hadn't mentioned pilates to me. I will definitely look into it now I know it could help.

Some people on here do. I don't see why not as long as it adds up to the 600 cal i don't see why not

I know what you mean, I hate this time of month 4 days till pay day! lol

I really have trouble drinking plenty of water.... I know I should be better at it, but I never feel that thirsty

Thanks hun!

That's a great loss hun! keep going!

Thanks, Sounds quite interesting. I might have a look see if their is a class in my area.

Yeah. I'm going back on track this week. Weigh day is tomorrow, but I had a cheeky look this morning and I think I've stayed the same. So not too much damage done really.

Ooh Let me know how pilates goes. I'm slightly curious about it lol

Keep going hun, you'll get there! I gained last week n stayed the same this week. I've had a birthday and a promotion to celebrate recently though so I'm not too disheartened. back on track next week!

Will keep my fingers crossed for you hun!

Hey, Good luck!

Yeah, well I had 3 birthday meals. I've also had a promotion this week at work (yay) cue more celebratory meals.....Might just give up for a week or 2 then get back on track lol

put on 1lb this week, but it was expected so i'm not too dissapointed.

Hey, Good luck! and Happy Birthday for Yesterday. Mine was on Saturday so I've had a week off diet. Dreading getting back on those scales! I find slim fast really easy to do, it doesn't involve too much thinking!

That's great hun, sounds like you are doing brilliantly!

I like the asda ones so I guess it's down to personal preferance. Have only tried SF and asda though!

Hey, Good luck!

That's what I like about slimfast, there is not a lot of thinking. I only have to think about 1 meal a day and thats pretty simple!

Good luck hun!

Thanks hun, I have 3 nights out of dinners and drinking so staying the same would be good for me! Not worrying too much about it, back on track on tuesday!

Hey, Welcome, good luck!

hmm that is strange. I'm using asda measure up, because it's cheaper, and uses water instead of milk. I don't make it up in advance but I'd suggest trying that as it's made with water instead of milk.

haha, thanks I have so many new varieties to try now!

Hey, well done. My weigh day is monday but this weekend it's my birthday so don't think i'm going to lose anything this week, and will probably have a gain. But it's only once a yr so I'm not going to be too upset at myself!

Good luck tomorrow!

Oooh the banoffee sounds good too. I'm quite boring, I have cafe latte in the morning and strawberry at lunchtime!

oooh Sounds delish. Going to have to try that one!

Cafe Latte is definitely my favourite. I don't like the vanilla either

Hehe, why must maccies be so bad for us!

Well done! I'm not sure I could have been that strong...maccies fries r a weakness so I don't even go in anymore.

I buy the measure up ones because they are cheaper, and I don't have a problem with the mixing or anything.

I have done this in the past. I don't think it's made any difference to me.

Lost another 2lbs this week. Checked my BMI also today, and that's gone down 3 points from when I first started losing weight. Total weightloss so far is 13lb

Asdas measure up do one that is really nice

I'm sure you'll do brilliantly hun!

Hey hun, Welcome back. I'm on my 2nd attempt at slimfast, last time i lost 11lb in 8 weeks but stress got in the way. I'm on day 6 so far, and I haven't always stuck to it but we'll swee tomorrow morning for weigh day

Thank hun, Good luck with your weight loss too! Where you going nice on holiday? I don't have one booked this year so I'm living through other peoples holidays haha!

Hey, Sorry to hear about your recent health problenms, glad your ok now. I've only recently gone back on plan too. I was getting far too stressed out with work stuff and couldn't sort that out and fully stay on slimfast at the same time. Thankfully things have calmed down (or I just don't care...

Ooh I never thought of that. But having the 4 cups of tea as 1 snack is working for me. It also means I'm having less caffeine as I'm down to 4 cups of tea a day lol

Hey hun, good look with your weight loss, just a tip for you, if you don't want to think too much about food, buy ready meals for your 600 cal evening meal, that way there's no prep or decision making or anything you just get it out and whack it in the microwave.

Hwy hun, Good luck, keep us updated on how you are getting on!

Oooh, sounds great, Have a lovely time!

Thanks hun, Have a lovely holiday. Where are you going nice? I'm completely jealous I don't have anything booked this year! I'm sure you'll do brill when you go back on slimfast, Its just annoying when the inital weight loss slows down lol.

Things are getting better for me on the work front either that or i'm just worrying about it less now so I'm going back to slimfast on June 1st. Just eating all my rubbish food before I go back so I don't get tempted lol. Had a good day today, a friend who I haven't seen since Christmas told me...

Thanks, you too!

no I know what you mean, luckily more often than not I have lunch by myself so it's not too bad, but I find the meal bars are best for lunch, people seem to question it less when you are eating something that looks like food lol.

Haven't tried it before. I tend to buy the premade ones or the meal bars for lunch if I'm at work....let me know how it goes.

I did it for 4 - 6 weeks back in feb and lost 11lb. I went off it for a while because of work / life distracting me and stressing me out but I'm going back to it now, because it worked for me so I see no need to change diet.

hey, a cup of tea with semi skimmed milk is on average 25 calories. I count 4 cups of tea day as 1 of my snacks.

Hey, I find slim fast quite easy if I have no other distractions, however I haven't tried slimming world so I can't compare. You don't have to have slimfast snacks as long as you have 100 cal snacks a day you should be fine. actually I sometimes split my snacks up into 50 cal a snack or have...

hey, Good luck I too am returning to SF after a few months. It worked really well for me to start with but lots of things got in the way and I'm only now ready to come back to it.

Hey hun, looks like you are doing brilliantly. I'm going back to SF now after a few months off because work was stressing me out (a bad excuse I know but it's the only one I've got).

OK so I've been off diet for several months now, but I'm starting again. I had so much going on with work recently that I've just not had enough time to worry about dieting while worrying about everything else. So I'm starting again on 1st June! The good news is I've managed to somehow maintain...

Hey, it seems to be working for me at the moment. I'm in the middle of week 5 but upto the end of week 4 I'd lost 7lb.

Hey, Welcome! I've on week 5 of slim fast lost 7lb in total at the end of week 4 but my week 2 was a total write off so I'm happy with that. To be honest as long as it's going down I'm happy lol! Good luck on slim fast hope it works for you!

Well I didn't do too badly last night. didn't have pudding and din't have chips. I had pasta in a tomato sauce with mushrooms and chicken. The pub we went too didn't have a light option on their menu. so I picked what I thought was best and Didn't eat the garlic bread that came with it. Resisted...

Hehe, Yep I know that feeling. Resisiting pancakes so far though!

Yeah, well this week I had a bad start to a day and managed to rescue it and not have a complete write off, determined not to give up so easily now. So hopefully I will choose something not too bad and resist pudding!

Thanks again Emma, I'll let you know how I get on, we're not meeting til 7 either. Hopefully I don't give into snacking temptation before then! The group I'm going with know I'm trying to lose weight but don't know which diet I'm on because I don't like boring people with the details. But they...

your'e welcome! Hope next week goes just as well!

Thanks Emma, We're just going to the local pub or a meal. To be honest I've never before looked for a 600cal option. Thanks for the tips I'll bear them in mind when choosing this evening instead of just going straight for the usual!

Trying to resist pancakes today, as I'm eating out tonight and so trying to be good. Not helping this morning as I'm watching This Morning and they are doing everything pancakey!!!!!!! Having my monthly get together with the girls tonight, last time I resisted pudding and I've done that a few...

I just saw that in your diary hun, Well done that's great!

That's fantastic, well done!

thanks Gemst!

Asda measure up is about 200 cal

had another 2lb loss this week, which takes me to my 1st half a stone!

Hey conrats on the loss! and good luck for next week!

Good luck for tomorrow hun, let us know how you get on!

Hun I wouldn't worry too much about the lack of a loss this week. TOTM plays havoc with your hormones and water retention can make it look like you haven't lost a thing. Keep going and don't give up!

Ok so today I had shake for breakfast, bowl of cereal for lunch (185 cal) and mac n cheese for dinner (700 cal) Also today was weigh day and it's another 2lb loss!

Had a bowl of porridge (210 cal) after dinner because I was still hungry and wanted something sweet! That's it for me today!

That and on here you always get some encouragement from someone ater a bad day. that always makes me feel better!

Good luck for tomorrow kirsty!

OK so far today has been completely on track. Had my breakfast shake about 9am, followed by my lunchtime shake at half 11. Early I know but as I had to be in work for 12 I had it early so I had the energy to actually work, Had a cup a soup snack at half 2 when I had my break at work. Currently...

Hey gemst, Wow that's a fabulous loss. Think mine is going to be a bit slower. I do like my diary it does help me when I waffle on about what happened on the bad days it makes me realise what caused the bad days so I can prevent them in future.

My weigh day is tomorrow so fingers crossed I'm doing ok. Mostly stayed on plan this week had 1 or 2 slip ups involving a bag of chips and a chocolate bar but other than that so far so good!

I haven't had any side effects on slimfast. I'd consider goin to your doctor, it could be the sudden drop in calories that has effected you or it could be something else.

Thanks hun, I am! :)

Hey I'm on Asda MU, there isn't a specific forum for it. I started on slim fast and I am just using them as I would slim fast. I'm over on the slimfast forum more often than here.

I dunno what to suggest hun as I constantly eat too when I'm hormonal. I just try to keep busy and that helps a little.

thanks hun, was really tempting to write the day off completely but somehow managed to convince myself that would only make it worse in the long run and undo the not too bad week I've been having!

Ok today started off badly. Got up late forgot to have a shake before I left for work as I was in a rush, needed change for the bus so I brought a chocolate bar from the shop next to the bus stop and ate that. so breakfast was a double decker 245 cal (old habits are hard to change) finished...

Good luck for next week!

I hate rainy days in with nothing to do, that's when I'm most tempted to nibble! Luckily i'm working all weekend lol!

Oh right, well we all have off days, so don't worry about it too much!

I have Campbells cupasoups as one of my 100 cal snacks! the potato and leek is my favourite and it comes in at 98 calories.

Not entirely on track today, I had a shake for breakfast, but lunchtime I was meant to finish work at 1 so planned to have my lunch shake when I got home but I was asked to stay till 4:30 with no lunch or snacks with me! A friend of mine was really kind and to stop me starving brought me a...

Well done on resisiting the junk food in the supermarket! My week 2 was bad because of TOTM and I gave in to the chocolate! But I've been back on track all of week 3 n most of week 4!

Have my fingers crossed we all have great weigh in days!

Yeah, it also maes it feel like I've had more of a meal.

Yep still smiling lol. And it definatly helps with the motivation. Hope the rest of your week goes well too!

Glad you are having a much better week hun, I'm having a good week too so far so good! Also had a great confidence boost today, a woman who I work with but haven't seen for a few weeks and doesn't know I'm on a diet noticed I'd lost some weight and said I looked great so I came home with a...

Ok so today so far has been Shake for breakfast, was meant to be a meal bar and cupasoup for lunch and afternoon snack at work, but forgot my bloody meal bar. so I just had the soup. Came in from work had a shake to make up for my lack of meal bar. Having Spagetti Carbonara for dinner and got...

Dress looks great!

hi, welcome and good luck! I just wanted to say I was advised to make sure I fit in the snacks to stop my body going into starvation mode and holding onto what you do give it, and so it slows your weight loss down. I find it hard to fit snacks in when I'm at work as I only get my lunch break...

Lilo, I'm using Asda shakes now, find them just as good as the slimfast ones.

Ok so today was, shake for breakfast, but because I started work earlier than usual I had it 2 hours earlier than usual so was starving come lunchtime. Had my 600 cal meal then as I was working all day, Had home made sausage and bean casserole. Had 3 cups of tea today while at work so I figure...

Good luck with your goals! hope it all goes well for you!

Hey, Good luck on losing that 2 stone! I'm now on week 4 of slim fast, lost 5lb in the 1st 3 weeks but had a bad week 2 so im still really pleased so far! liking how easy it is to work out!

Hey, I've been doing slim fast and lost 5lb, I've recently swapped to asda measure up and I'm treating it as slim fast. Will let you know how I get on.

A pound loss is better than a slap in the face with a wet kipper! I'm just starting week 4 and after yesterdays weigh in I've lost 5lb in total! Good luck for your future weight loss! I'm sure you'll do fine!

Thanks Emma, Enjoy your pizza. I'm totally jealous but after my slip up the other week I'm determined I'm staying on track until I have a string of birthdays coming up next month! Congrats on your loss this week too, you're doing great!

So today with this weeks weigh in boost I'm more encouraged than before to keep going. I've switched my shakes to asda's measure up simply because of the cost difference in the powder, and the fact you make it with water brings down the cost no need for constantly buying milk. They taste...

OK haven't posted in my diary all week, but I have for the most part kept on track I think. Had lunch yesterday out with a friend and stuck to the 600cal option *does happy dance* So today was Weigh Day and I have lost...............drum roll............... 2lb *happy dance*

I have old fasioned non electric scales, harder to read but don't have to rely on the batteries

Yes I only have two snacks so I can have cups of tea and coffee with milk. I couldn't survive without my cup of tea!

Best of luck to you hun! Hope it works out for you!

Oh right, yeah it's easily done. I still catch myself having a drink or something without even thinking about the calories in them. Had a red bull the other day to keep me awake on a busy day at work and then looked at the calories. no snacks for me that day!

Good luck stef! Hope the vlcd works out for you! Can I ask what you were doing to cheat without realising? Just incase I'm doing something wrong!

Hey, Yeah I definatly turn to food when I'm feeling down. Fighting it is the hardest thing! Hope next week is better for you!

I comfort eat too when I'm having a bad week.

My oldest friend is going to get married later on this year and I'm going to be a bridesmaid, I'm going to be in a lot of photo's don't want to look like an elephant!

Last couple of days have been good. Yesterday I had shake for breakfast, pasta salad for lunch, oranges for afternoons snack, shake for dinner and jelly for an evening snack Toay was shake for breakfast, quavers for snack with my am tea break, Ham salad sandwhich and wotsits for dinner...

Thats good because I love Harvester!

thanks guys, well I managed it 2 days in a row! *happy dance* Back to my normal work place tomorrow!

Thanks I've made a 600 cal meal that just needs reheating in the microwave ready for tomorrow

Ok so tomorrow I'm goin to work at a different site to where I usually work for the same company to help with a new instellation. The problem will be lunch time, I know the people from the new site but I don't really fit in they are all quiet and girly and I'm not. Usually when I go to do...

Mostly on track so far today. Shake for breakfast, shake for an early lunch as I needed to start work for 12 today, planned to have my snacks on my break at work to keep me going til dinner time but forgot to take them with me so now i'm starving and just having a quick jelly while my jacket...

Haven't tried it on a hangover yet but thanks for the warning lol :)

We had a fair ammount of snow but it was mostly slush by this morning. Been at work all day in it, luckily I didn't fall over on my way to work!

Oooh I haven't tried that. going to give it ago in the warmer months, thanks for the idea!

Try online stores, I think there are probably cheaper ones but the likes boots or superdrug should be good.

Yeah I think so because it has the lack of added sugar and what not. I don't know for certain because I haven't worked ice lollys out yet. Too cold lol

The cold weather is getting me too. I have a cupa soup as my snack you can get some 100 cal ones they warm me up nicely

I make my own ice lolly,s I have some of those Ice lolly moulds and put orange juice, or diet lemonade or some squash in them.

Back on track today Breakfast shake snack wotsits lunch shake snack quavers dinner fajitas and still have some room for jelly later :)

Just keep reminding yourself how far you've conme and how well you've done. I'm having a difficult time at the moment resisting temptation and being stuck inside when it's snowing out isn't helping. Just have to keep busy and keep thinking positive

Thanks kitsune! great ideas!

I brought some fruit juice yesterday without even thinking about it and then i realised with all the added sugar and things in it it came to about 200 cal, not buyin that one again.

LOL that sounds like fun!

Thanks guys, I'm going to combine the 2 activities I finally have the last series of Lost to watch and going to paint my nails while I do it so I'm not tempted to nibble while I'm watching

Glad you are having a good week hun!

Ok one of my problems is eating whan I'm bored. so far I have been combatting this by taking a nice long walk around the park near by. But today it's snowing so I don't want to go outside and now I'm bored! Help me get rid of the boredom please because the the multipack of quavers I brought...

I love the lime flavoured jelly sachet!

Keep going bex you're doing brill!

So really bad day today, well food wise at least. Met with a friend for lunch again, wasn't too bad had a sandwhich and a coffee came to about 500 calories. But then as we were chatting we started talking about the curry house that just opened up by me and then so for tea I ended up having curry...

OH no forgot to buy jelly today!

thanks lilo, off to tesco tomorrow now

It is a great idea, I'm jumping on the jelly bandwaggon as soon as I et chance to go to the supermarket

No probs, hope you find some! We seem to be a jelly support group at the moment here lol

You should be able to get it in most big supermarkets, I use asda purely because it's my local. It's hartley's sugar free jelly powder that you can make up yourself.

One of my oldest friends is like that, she's been a string bean her entire life eats twice as much as me and stays slim. I so much as have to look at a chip and it's gone on!

Thanks ladyjo. goin to have to try these

Your welcome, I couldn't cope without my cups of tea lol. I do have green tea as well though which I really enjoy and it does give you a caffine kick in the mornings without the calories. I get twinings green tea with grapefruit and pineapple at about 2 calories per mug!

Hi Lou! Just wanted to let you know that if I worked it out correctly a cup of tea with zero sugar and a splash of semi skimmed milk is about 25cal and Coffee with zero sugar and semi skimmed milk is about 25cal

:O that is really cruel! lol,

sounds yum! Enjoy!

Yeah, thats what I;m thinkin because evenings can be tough!

haha, nope, but only because it's gone 5pm so the shops will be closing :)

Thanks mummybex! :) Had a slip up this week but not dwelling on it and carrying on!

Yeah, definately going to get some on my next trip to the supermarket, can't knock 10cal snacks!

I think I'm going to have to jump on the jelly bandwaggon

haha stef! I guessed that's what you meant!

Lol, I think everyone hates wasting money! That's why I HAVE to fit into it!

It's definatly helping me keep motivated!

I already brouht my prize ( a bit premature I know) I got a top that I absolutely loved in a size smaller than I am now so that I have something to work towards. I have to lose the weight now or the top would have been a waste of money! I have it hung up outside my wardrobe to remind me every...

OK so today I had a shake for breakfast then I had lunch out with a friend so no snack for me and a toasted sandwhich instead! But I was strong and resited pudding again! *happy dance* (celebrating small victories lol) so tonight for dinner I'm going to have my home made sausage and bean...

I'm really pleased for you! Keep it up, you are doing great!

Sorry to hear about your break up! Hope you are ok! you are doing really well!

Yeah, Thanks Emma! So far so good today!

so I had a bad day today. Had dinner out with the girls and couldn't resist the Gammon eggs and chips at god knows how many calories! did resist pudding though so i'm not feeling too guilty.

Yeah I like the soup idea, think I'm going to go with it!

Thanks guys, really appreciate the support!

Glad day 1 is going ok for you!

You're welcome! :)

Hey, Good luck with the weight loss! look forward to hearing about your progress!

Thanks Hannah! I've got some Campbells cup a soups and they come in at 98 calories so I'm having those as one of my snack ocassionally!

Yeah, had a shake for lunch today so i'm getting used to it! Just missing my savoury foods now, rarely do I eat so much sweet stuff in a day, don't even have sugar in my cup of tea!

Thanks! I'm really pleased with myself! I'm sure you will do fine, it sounds like you already have it planned well!

Hey, you're already over half way there so that last 4st will fly off! Good luck with SF I hope it works for you! It'ss only my 1st week on it did my 1st weih in today and I lost 3lb! Keep us updated with how you are getting on!

Weigh day today and I've lost 3lb!!! :) *does happy dance* Today I've had shake for breakfast shake for lunch 2 apples for snacks chilli con carne for tea.

Oh right, Thanks for that. :)

Thought I'd start a diary as it seems to help, I'll see how it goes. Today so far I've had Breakfast - shake Lunch - Soup Then for Dinner it's going to be Chicken Stirfry with plenty of veg. So far I've had no snacks so I'm pleased with that. Struggling with lunchtime because I'm still...

Wow, congrats on fitting into the jeans. I love that feeling when you can fit into some clothing again that was too big before! I'm still on my first week of SF but I've brought myself a new top which I love in one size smaller which I want to wear for an event in a few months time so I've got...

Thanks both, I really appreciate the advice. I'm also having trouble with my morning shake. I never used to eat breakfast before I started and I'm finding it difficult to get into the habit of having something in the morning. I do notice on the days when I remember to have my morning shake...

Can anyone tell me if instead of my lunch time shake I could have something like a cup a soup? I'm on day 2 and by lunch time I'm really wanting something savoury. Also where I work there are always biscuits and cake on offer in the staff room. Any advice on how to resist these would be great?
