Been eating crap over easter time. We were taken out for dinner to Ask Italian by my bf's parents, my dad made his famous macaroni cheese on Sunday and given far too many easter eggs and treats! Not feeling too bad about it as it is only once a year, but I definitely could have tried a little...

Not a great start, but I know it will take time to get back into the routine of planning and getting to know the point values of various foods. Hopeful that I will eat better tomorrow :)

Hi amba_eliza, Thanks for the good luck! :D

Hey all, I've gained two stone in recent years due to laziness and lack of caring about what I'm putting in my mouth. Deep down, I'm gutted because I lost those two stone on Weight Watchers and felt great a few years ago! I've recently tried Slimming World but found it didn't work for me, so...

This is my first bad experience with the snack packs, usually I have the apple and they're great quality. Shame :(

They're great if you're after something sweet but don't want to go over your point limit :) I just had my Strawberry Ski Yoghurt (YUM!! Definitely getting these again!) and my watermelon (bit of a dissapointment and bad quality - it was all squishy. I got the snack pack version from ASDA) I'll...

Yeah I do, I get them from ASDA :)

Chocolate Buttons & Jelly Tots. Jelly Tots are 2pts where as buttons are 9pts so I've started having tots instead. Still not an fantastically healthy choice but I get my sugar fix :)

Jaffa cakes are about 0.75pts each for us, so about 1.5pt for two. That's not all that bad considering how yummy they are! So far today I've had: Breakfast: Coco pops & OJ (5pts) Snack: Jelly Tots (2pts) & Alpen Light bar (1pt) - I have an addiction to jelly tots lol! I need my morning sugar...

UKSerena - Here's a website with lots of info on it: Weight Watchers Information Instead of having the same number of points each day, it varies. Some days you'll have low points, some high and some in the middle :)

Thanks, still not feeling 100% myself but the worst of this illness is over! I really want to eat well this week as I'm going home for a visit this weekend and therefore going out a lot for lunches and dinners to catch up with friends. I also know my metre long tube of Jaffa cakes is still...

Sorry I've been missing for a few days - it's been hectic! Busy at work with interviews and discussions regarding the new interns (my replacement is an awesome wee lad - can't wait!) and then we had a leaving meal for us lot leaving, then I got ill!! I've caught a nasty cold and been feeling...

Thanks! I use the old system so that's fine :)

It's all based on calories and saturated fat. The formula I use is calories/70 + sat fat/4 = points (I have a sliding thing to calculate points but usually just do it on my phones calculator when out and about!). I find the old system works better than the new one and I have all the booklets and...

I'm finding it pretty tough to be honest, especially at the weekend as we went out a few times for food as my bf was leaving for France this morning. Back on track and have a good feeling about this week and know I can do well! I have my first weigh-in on Wednesday :) Today I have eaten...

In the past I used to feel guilty and beat myself up about eating bad which in turn would make me want to eat bad things and the cycle would continue. I need to have a better attitude towards food! Hope so weigh in on Wednesday - can't wait! :)

The snacks I have with me at work this afternoon are an apple, low fat yoghurt and a jam sandwich. All adds up to 4pts. We hare having chicken & veg tonight so nothing fatty or overly high in points :)

Hello, I remember seeing ages ago that there was a diet (can't remember the name!) where on some days of the week you would eat more points and others less. What was this diet called? And has anyone tried it, what kind of results did you get?

I made cupcakes using this receipe the other night and got about 16 from the mix - around half a point each (1, 2, 3! Success system, probably about 1pp to others!)

Does anyone else find the 2nd or 3rd day the hardest?? But once you have passed that bridge, it's a bit easier?

Slipped up a little today as I've been craving chocolate since I woke up but opted for a slightly lower point option than the 9pt chocolate buttons I wanted and had chocolate that was 6pts. I went for a walk during my lunch break and will make sure I don't over eat during the rest of the day to...

As said in a previous post, I am not following the new ProPoints system I am following the old 1, 2, 3, Success! system as I found it has worked best for me in the past and I know the points of so many things just off the top of my head :) Yesterday went really well and I stuck within my...

It's all the nuts and chocolate buttons they put in there that make the points values soar! Shame, because they're really yummy! I've got another one with me today for my afternoon snack and its only 1.5 pts so much better :)

Today so far: Breakfast: Weetabix & orange juice (4pts) Snack: Cupcake & Graze box (3.5pts) Lunch: Ham sandwich (3pts) Graze boxes are good however some of the food you get is much more calorific than you might think! I'll be giving those ones to my bf or sharing.

Thanks to both of you :) Dianette has been great for me - clear skin, weight loss and I can use it as a contraceptive. It's been a miracle pill so far but I know I can't stay on it because of the dangers. I've done a bit of research and it sounds like Yasmin is a great one to switch too. Also...

Hello all, I'll tell you a little bit about my background. I've always been quite chubby since I was a child, I reached my heaviest at 12st 4lb when I was around 18 years old. I hated how I looked and I just met my boyfriend (who I've now been with for 2.5 years) and felt ashamed and embarassed...

I found a great recipe for a low fat/calorie sponge cake using just eggs, sugar and flour. I reckon if you slice it into eighths it's around 2 points per slice! This is great for people like me who crave anything sweet and love cake without the guilt! You can even make it chocolate flavoured by...

No this is for the old system although pro points are usually double what the old system was (apart from fruit and veg which are all 0 I believe in the new system)

I did but I found it hard to keep up to date so I'm just keeping one on my own just now. I'm doing the old 1,2,3 success! system too, usually allow myself up to 22 points on weekdays (lots of walking!) and then between 18-20 on weekends if I don't exercise. I'm 5' 4" and currently 10st 12lbs...

We are very similar! I weighed in at 10st 12lbs this morning which is down 2lbs in two days after I restarted! My first goal is to get to 10st 6lbs (what I was before I fell off the wagon around my birthday!) in about 3 weeks time when I go home for the weekend. My second goal is to be or be...

If you stick to the plan, it will fall off in no time! All the best with your journey! :D xx

Fruit is so so so cheap and nothing so make sure to stock up on it :) A couple of bananas are maybe 20-40p? Apples are about 30p each? Choose individual ones rather than premade packs as they're usually cheaper! Look for bargains in the reduced aisle, if it's going to go out of date tomorrow buy...

You have similar stats to me! :) You're doing so well with sticking to your points I'm sure you'll see a fab loss!

Well done! You look like a completely different person and such a happy one :D

Hello! I've been following this on and off for a few years. I have the old cardboard calulator along with the booklets but it's really not very convinient to carry to Tescos when you do your weekly shopping! So I researched for a while and now have a formula for calculating the points of...

I'm using the old 1,2,3 succes system, they'll be around 5-6 propoints :)

Thank you :)

Ok thanks :)

What you eat couns for 90%, excercise is 10%. It's certainly achievable however you will probably find as you lose weight, you will need to up the excercise to keep it going :)

It really is, and the lower you get the less you eat which is quite hard at times! I eat red lentils lots already in soups and also use them to make the spicy lentil pasta sauce from a WW reciepe book :)

Hi all! I undertsand how the wendie plan works and I am keen to try it as I am totally stuck with my weight loss and hit a plateau after losing 2 stone :( The thing I'd like to know is DOES IT WORK? Have you tried it? How much did you lose? Was it more than when just on WW?

I'm on the old points too so may look into that :)

There are so many different snack bars in supermarkets now. Have you found any that are surprisingly low or high in points? What are your go-to favourites! I love WW lemon slices and brownies as a sweet treat. About 1 discover point each :) Nutrigrain raisin bakes are yummy and 2 points...

Well I stuck to my points for so long, hit a plateu so lowered them by a couple of points but still nothing. Really discouraging when it happens. I will try to cut out high sugar/salt foods like you say and see if anything happens :)

The thing is, WW isn't. I'm sticking to a few points below what I should and I find it incredibly hard to go lower. The weight just won't shift. Feeling so stuck :(

I didn't lose the weight when I was strictly following the plan for weeks and weeks so gave up and that's why I started snacking again. I'm asking for really healthy, low-point alternatives for snacks that will keep me full inbetween meals :)

I'd obviously continue with WW and exercise as normal but just wondering if it helped anyone? Especially anyone whos been stuck with weight that just won't seem to bugger off!

I have been reading reviews of slimming pills and may try one. I've been really struggling to shift that last bit of weight after losing almost 2 stone on my own through healthy eating. Have any of you tried pills like adios and adios max? Did they work? Are there others that work better...

Had a weekend off, as we were out for dinner one night and did some baking :) Not terribly bad though! Back to being good this week, really proud of completing all last week! Today's food... Breakfast: Cornflakes & OJ (4) Snack: WW lemon slice & coffee (1.5) Lunch: Crisp sandwich (6) &...

I can't imagine what you must be feeling right now. But think of how far you've come! Losing a stone in weight is hard work and I bet when you started your weight loss you had moments where you thought you couldn't do it - but you did! I don't understand how you can be disgusted after all you...

Today I'm back at work so 2 hours of walking today as part of my commute therefore more points woo hoo! Breakfast: cocopops and OJ (5) Lunch: Pasta and sauce (4.5) Yoghurt (1) Snacks: 2 lemon slices (2) Coffee (1) Dinner I think we will have WW sweet and sour so very little points for that...

Thank you :) Today's diary entry: Breakfast: Cocopops, milk and OJ (5) as slightly more than yesterday Lunch: Pasta with WW tuna and tomato herb tin (4) Snacks: Coffee (0.5) Activia Snackpot (1) Maoams (2) Dinner: 3oz Pasta with Dolmio stir-in carbonara sauce (5.5)

Well done Lemai! Same as me and same goal :)

Thank you! Really chuffed :)

Ill again today so another day at home, food will be very much the same with a slightly healthier dinner! Coconut milk is awful for dieting :( Started the day off with my weigh in and lost 2lbs! Right on track for September challenge! :D

alyrose 8lb (2lb lost, 6lb to go) Anahita - 6lbs (0lb lost, 6lb to go) Bulldogdaisy 3lb(0lb lost, 3lb to go) Jo-85- 6lbs (0lb lost,6 to go) Lemai - 8lb (0lb lost, 8lb to go) lynns3cookied 5lbs (0lbs lost, 5lbs to go) Michellethegooner 3lb (0lb lost, 3lb to go) Nessa123 10lb (0lb lost, 10lb to...

I told him not to guess and actually work out the points, I don't think he realised until I actually did it and pointed out why he wasn't losing anything! Went on a nice walk to the shops just now, lovely weather here :) Picked up a ton of WW sandwich fillers (tuna ones in cans) as only 1pt a...

Done great as well today, had some egg fried rice (quite a lot though so 6 pts!) and gave some of the scrambled egg to my hedgehog, Simba :) Then had a coffee and nutri-grain bar (2.5) So all in all 12 points today! Leaving 6-8 for dinner, for which my OH is cooking coconut and lime curry...

Yeah, we're both from NE Scotland so it was an 8 hour journey between us on trains and buses as he is in Preston for Uni. We're so grateful for this year together before having to do long-distance again! Enjoying every minute of it :) Went home early from work yesterday as I felt really sick...

I'm technically doing my third year just now, I got a year long internship with Fircroft near Manchester. Really happy as I'm also living with the OH just now, he moved down here for Uni last year :)

Thank you! I buy the Heinz squeeze & stir tubes as they are easy to take to work! Tomato is 2pt and Minestroni is 1pt (which is what I have today!) Both very yummy :)

No I think I got the small one but they're bound to have bigger ones, I'd take a look :) Mines lasted ages!

It sure does! Feeling motivated and got my weigh in on Thursday! Hoping to lose an average of 2lbs a week so I can meet my September Challenge target of 8lbs :) My soup is a different kind today and 1pt less than yesterday! It's crazy how much difference one point can make! Means one more lemon...

I have one they're really handy and use it a lot! I just got a cheap version at Tesco for just over £10 :)

Dinner was so good last night and very filling! Today's plan: Breakfast: Cornflakes with milk and a glass of OJ (4) Morning snack: Coffee and WW lemon slice (2) Lunch: Soup (1) with bread (2.5) Afternoon snack: Nutri-grain bar and apple (2.5) This brings my to 12, leaving me 6-8 points for...

I'm sure it will! You've done so well you wouldn't want to lose all your hard work :) I have used 11.5 points so far today, and am allowed 20 a day. So 8.5 left, think I will have that nutri-grain now since I'm getting peckish taking my total to 13.5! Plenty left for some fruit on my way home...

That's why I like it too, and it teaches me lessons (such as moderation and foods that are surprisingly bad!) and even if I'm not on WW I still carry those lessons around with me. It teaches me how to eat properly and how little food we actually need compared to what I've eaten in the past :)

I've just introduced him to the system and he likes it so far because he can still have 'naughty' things just in moderation but he has such bad habbits! He doesn't eat breakfast at all, just lunch around 3pm then dinner at 8pm which I think is quite unhealthy and no idea how he can do that I'd...

Yeah it's great, I know having someone there eating a big slice of cake in front of you is the worst possible temptation! Glad I don't have that, just lots of fruit in our house! :)

Thank you! Good to be back, feel much better when eating right :) My OH is doing it too which helps as he can tell me off for eating more than I should!

So far had my breakfast and lunch as planned, a WW brownie and a coffee so in total 10.5 points. I have 9.5 to play around with my dinners are around 6 on average so I will save that, not sure what my OH is cooking tonight! Leaving me 2.5 for afternoon snacks today. Perhaps a coffee and lemon...

Oh and a coffee this morning (1) so might skip that lemon slice or swap it for the nutri-grain bar :)

After a horrendously unhealthy weekend I am back and ready to be healthy! We spent yesterday in Blackpool and I could feel my teeth rotting with the amount of sugar we consumed! We had a really good time and enjoyed treating ourselves but my boyfriend and I are back on the wagon 100% commited :)...

Best of luck starkissedx! :)

Yesterday I had everything I planned to and went to ASDA after work to buy some WW cakes so I don't feel deprived of yummy things! We got the lemon slices and the brownies and have added some to our big ASDA order arriving tomorrow as they are DELICIOUS and only 1 point :) Munching away on a...

I remember you too Daisy! You look fab :)

Wow! Someone else around the 10/11st mark and using the 'vintage' points system! :) I weigh in at around 10st 8lbs right now and struggled to get below 10st 6lbs for so long I gave up, but I'm back on the wagon again to try and lose those annoying pounds! I'm on around 18 points, 20 on...

soup and some bread! :)

Forgot to mention the pot of raspberry jelly which is 1 point too, having that just now yum! :) So 19.5 in total if I eat everything. Didnt eat the banana just yet, work got busy!

8LBS FOR ME! Nessa123 10lb (0lb lost, 10lb to go) alyrose 8lb (0lb lost, 8lb to go)

My soup was lovely at lunch, lots of flavour and warmed me up! Although I sat with people talking about McDonalds and brownies - not helpful! :(

Ate my apple but still hungry so about to have the banana too, drinking lots of water at my desk as well! :)

THAT'S FANTASTIC! Well done you, you must be so proud and motivated :D What a huge achievement!!

My mum has all the old 1, 2, 3 Success! booklets and such and as a poor student, I can't afford to go to meetings and I haven't heard great things about ProPoints from friends so I'm quite happy to follow the old system and it works for me :) I'm allowed 18 points a day, 20 on weekdays as I walk...

Sounds yummy! Prawns sound especially nice with it, and are healthier than chicken (less fat and calories!) A sweet chilli sauce would be nice but may have more sugar than other sauces that are savoury. Try a black bean sauce or something similar?

Last summer I lost around 2 stone through WW and walking more. Now I can't seem to get past 10st 6lbs. I'd only like to lose around 1/2 stone - 1 stone more but I'm finding it incredibly difficult and demotivating that it won't budge. Does anyone have some advice for me or tips to get the ball...

I'm glad too, the only thing is my healthy eating has gone out the window! Although he is home, his family home is still quite a way from mine, about 45 minutes by car. 2 hours by bus, train then taxi! So it's much easier for us to meet in Aberdeen every day but this means we usually eat out...

Actually, the toastie machine is out and everyone is having so screw it! Hello peanut butter toastie :D It's only one point more than cereal so why not, plus with dance class later (which is really high impact) I can afford it!

Just going to have to hope for the best! I had rice with prawns, lots of vegetables and a spicy coconut and lime sauce! It was delicious, rice would be around 3 points, prawns 2 maybe and the sauce would have been bad due to the coconut milk but should be ok! Today so far I've just had rice...

That's great! Keep up the hard work and losses :D x

Ooo that sounds gorgeous! I ended up having pasta with the WW spicy lentil sauce & glass of apple juice so a total of 5 points :D Today I know I've had around 10 points so that gives me between 8-10 for my Wagamama meal. Hopefully I'm safe, just wish they would post their nutritional info online :(

From my experiences, you might be waiting a while! I'm not sure we're all eating together as a family tonight so may have some bolognase minus the garlic bread yum!

I hope so too! Eating some strawberries dipped in splenda now and some sugar free raspberry jelly to keep me going until dinner :)

I find the old points a lot easier to calculate when I'm out and about it's just (calories/70) + (saturated fat/4)! Simple :) I'm studying Management with Finance, I'm almost finished my second year and it's a four year course. Enjoying it so far! Today... Breakfast: Cornflakes & OJ Lunch at...

Also walked quite a bit today and drank plenty of water! Bring on day 2 :D

HONK :D

I find it easier to diet when I'm not at University or work so I have the first easter week off both! Determined to do this! :D I also find it easier to stick to my daily limit by eating cereal instead of two meals (eg. breakfast and lunch). This is how I lost two stone last year, so figured I...

Today... Breakfast - cornflakes & oj (4) Lunch - Egg Fried Rice (4ish) Dinner - Bolognase & garlic bread (8) Snacks - samples from costco (3?), cookie (1) hot chocolate (1) haribo (1) smoothie (1) Definitely need to work on my snacking!! I'm awful :( Walked to and from work today (total of 50...

I've just made some for my lunch at work tomorrow, as well as a banana and strawberry smoothie for my tea break! I'm not going to take my purse as I know I will end up buying chocolate from the vending machine. It has been fantastic weather! Long may it continue :D I love going for walks and...

Yeah I prefer to put in a tiny bit of oil to fry it :) Ooo! Mushrooms would be gorgeous in it! Today's diary: Breakfast: weetabix choco minis & OJ (6) Lunch: Low fat Sandwich (2) Chocolate (5) Dinner: Burger, Wedges & Salad (5) Snack: Haribo (2) Strawberry & OJ smoothie (1) I've also done...

Hello, First off does anyone know how many points are in pro points? Is there some sort of ratio? It would be super handy to know! :D Also, do you prefer the new pro points system to the old one? Have you found it more effective?

It is :) And you can always change the recipe around to suit you, e.g. less rice, more eggs or add more veg! Been for a walk at the beach today and a round of mini golf! Hopefully that burned off some of the Pizza Hut pizza ;) So far today... Breakfast: Cornflakes & OJ (4) Lunch: 3 slices pan...

I've had a few days off while my bf was back home, starting back tomorrow! It's supposed to be really warm and sunny tomorrow so can't wait to go out for a jog tomorrow morning - surprisingly I have missed them! Also going out to play mini-golf and dance class at night :) Haven't gone far over...

Nice to meet you! You've done so well so far :D

Also, I forgot to mention I tried SlimFast recently but found it quite hard as I didn't enjoy replacing my meals. I prefer real food :D Lunch: 40g weetabix minis, semi-skimmed milk and OJ (4 pts) I'm working 11.30-5pm today with just one small break so I've had another bowl of cereal before I...

Last summer I lost 2stone following a mix of the special K diet and making sure I didn't go over my daily points limit (I use the old system of just points as I'm a poor student so can't afford meetings but already have the old stuff in the house) It's coming up for summer again which means I...

Really enjoying my long weekend away at my boyfriends, however my diet is awful here! I've noticed I've been sleeping worse and not as energetic during the day. I'm looking forward to getting back on the diet!

Hope you have a lovely night! Bet you look gorgeous :D If you want chips - go for them! Treat yourself this one night x

I haven't had stomach ache but I did have diarrhea a few days in but I took tablets for it and drank lots of water to stay hydrated :) Fine now! I think as long as you drink the 6-8 glasses of water a day as recommended by SlimFast you'll be fine!

Wow I can really see the difference between the two photos! :D Congrats on coming this far! I'm having a few days off, I need them! Just devoured a cupcake so you're doing better than me haha!

Thanks, it's been tough getting here I lost my first 2 stone because my Doctor told me if I wanted to go on the pill for my acne I had to, I also had to stop smoking. I managed to do it all at once and really proud of myself for that achievement :) I was happy with my weight for ages, but now...

Craving chocolate so I'm gonna have some, I've hit a plateau so a few days off will hopefully help trick my body :) Once I'm back into the diet next week, I'm also going to up my exercise to help get to my goal of 10st or under! :)

Sounds so yummy! Well done for keeping on track despite having a crappy time :) Keep up the good work! x

Breakfast: Cornflakes & OJ Lunch: Raisin Bake & a few samples at Costco (work) It's hard when I have weird shifts like today to eat at normal times but I'm not too fussed, I've not had much so I'll be fine plus gives me a little break from the shakes haha!

Hope so! I'm going to visit my boyfriend for a long weekend and going to have Friday and Saturday off, see if that helps boost my metabolism :)

Official weigh-in this morning... 10st 6lbs! So I'm happy I've not gained anything I guess but I'm worried I'm stuck at this weight I can't seem to get much lower, I've been drifting around 10st 7lbs for aaaaaages :/

I had my official weigh-in today, still 10st 6lbs :) Feel like I'm struggling to lose any more and I don't know if I can cut down what I'm already consuming... sigh

I've lost 3/4lbs in my first week. It does take time and you have to be consistent and follow the diet every day for it to work, as with any diet. Think of it as a long term thing :) As for the hunger, all I can suggest is look for healthy, low cal snacks to keep around the house you can munch...

If I get really hungry I have a piece of toast with some low cal jam or golden syrup. Fruit is also a good option but may not be as filling. I also have Pink'n'whites and low cal crackers on hand if I get peckish. I felt hungry yesterday as I was rushing around at Uni lots and up early so eating...

I'm the same! I've started doing it again though as I hate not knowing. I think it is better when you wait though because if I see even a pound gain I freak out a little but it happens, it could just be down to water for all I know... staying off them for a week at a time will help you not worry...

I would be the same if I had a crappy day, well done on keeping going :) xx

Managed to stick to the plan today! I usually don't bring my purse because then I get too tempted to buy sweets from the vending machine there. But I forgot today! And I was on late lunch so I was starving. I am incredibly proud of myself for not buying anything :) I also went to Tesco and...

Definitely noticed myself being more awake and ready to go in the mornings and generally having more energy since starting! :) Working today... boo! I've got a strawberry shake and a raisin bake snack ready. Breakfast: Cornflakes Lunch: Strawberry shake Snack: Raisin bake

Just had an apple because I started getting hungry, we had dinner fairly early tonight! I'm really happy that I choose the healthy option now :) Feel much better rather than munching down on chocolate at night! I don't feel guilty, as much as I'd love to eat some chocolate right now, I would...

Dinner: Southern fried chicken, chips and sweetcorn (around 400/500 cals) Also done lots of walking today so should be safe! :)

Congrats on your progress that's fantastic! :D

I was hungry around 4pm so had a wholemeal WW pitta with golden syrup (a great spread as vitrually no fat and little calories!) Also on glass number 5 of water so hope that keeps away any hunger until dinner! :)

Congratulations :D Keep up the good work because it clearly works! xx

Have an apple or some other low cal fruit to keep you going :) x

Glad to see you back on track! Best of luck we're here for you :D xxxx

Awesome :) I tend to buy the Tesco's own as it's a bit more purse-friendly!

Been a good day so far, just back from University :) Breakfast: Rice Crispies & OJ Snack: Raisin Bake Lunch/PM snack: Banana shake Not sure what's for dinner yet, hope it's something healthy! Also I need to start downing some water now that I'm home again :)

Their own brand or SlimFast brand?

Best of luck! My official weigh-in is Wednesday :)

Yeah I think as long as you stick within the 900 extra calories limit you'll be fine :) so you could have one snack and a bigger dinner if you want.

Yeah! I'm not sure 3lbs would have made much of a difference but happy to take the compliment :)

Sounds like a good day, you'll be seeing those pounds dropping off very soon! Keep up the good work :D I usually drink 6-8 glasses of water, just keep filling up a cup or bottle and constantly have it at your side.

Also, my dancing teacher asked if I'd lost weight as my legs looked thinner! Definitely gave me a boost :D

Dinner was yummy! Curry and naan bread, and I had a much smaller portion than the rest of my family to keep closer to 600 calories :) Our dancing teacher made us work so hard tonight - exhausted but glad she did. Feel great :D Hope it shows on the scales! Looking forward to a quiet night in...

Everyone has the same goal here and are here to support each other :)

I got mine from ASDA for £4 :)

I was the same when I woke up today - my stomach wouldn't stop gurgling and I felt sick and icky. I'm fine now, I took some diarrhea relief tablets and I've been drinking a lot of water to combat any dehydration and it's done the trick :)

Curry for my dinner tonight. A little worried that I might go over calories as they are such large portions about 800 calories eek! However I'm also doing an hour long highland dance class tonight which is an intense cardio workout so hopefully that will burn the most of it off! Scottish...

Yeah watching others lose weight on the plan motivates me too :) I know this diet works if you stick to it now and I've only been doing it for a few days! Really excited about my Wednesday weigh-in!

The print out is a really good idea :) I find this website really helpful, having others to talk to and almost 'report' my weight too really motivates me! We also have monthly challenges which are a great motivator.

The chocolate shakes are really nice, I'm using the Tesco's own version purely because it was cheaper but I reckon they taste the same :) Great for if you have a sweet tooth or love chocolate! My favourite however is the banana - so good! :D

Welcome Cerri :) Well done! Sounds like your first day is going great! It's miserable here too, I had a car boot sale for charity planned but that didn't happen :( Been at home all day, bored but haven't eaten out of boredom which is good for me. Hope you have nothing but success on your...

Breakfast: Cornflakes, OJ and coffee Lunch: Chocolate shake Snack: Raisin Bake Dinner: Curry (840 cals but I've not had all my snacks and I have an hour long highland dance class tonight which should burn most of it off! Plus I probably won't manage a whole portion as they're massive)

Having my chocolate shake for lunch, I love having the shakes as it definitely satisfies my sweet tooth! :)

I usually have cornflakes, rice crispies, frosties or weetabix for breakfast. As long as you measure them out properly and don't over do it they are roughly the same in WW points as the shakes :) I prefer having cereal in the morning as I'm used to it and I like to have something to eat rather...

Loser85, the banana is gorgeous definitely my favourite! Tastes just like banana nesquick so it satisfies that craving too :)

I'm definitely in need of a day off, thinking of next Friday as I'm travelling 6 hours on a train to see my bf then we're going to see Derren Brown that night :) Think I'll treat myself! Hope you have had a good weekend :)

Morning all! My day has got of to a fab start after weighing in a few days early and I've lost 3lbs so in a fantastic mood! It's also my first day off University/Work in foreveeerrrrrrrrrr, probably the first this year! So enjoyed a nice lie in :) So far I've had cornflakes, orange juice and...

Also, I've just weighed myself and I'm 3lbs lighter than a few days ago so super happy with the results! I'm rarely hungry on this diet too. It really is great, as long as you are determined you will succeed :D xx

So I couldn't resist a quick sneak-preview weigh-in before my official one on Wednesday and... I'VE LOST 3LBS IN 3 DAYS! WOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D I'm now 10st 6lbs which I have never been before in my adult life! This has got my day of to a great start and I can't wait to...

Of course there is! I've only been doing SlimFast for 3/4 days now but I've found this website incredibly useful :) I find having other people to kind of 'report' to and people watching my weightloss with me keeps me motivated as I don't want to let myself or others down. We have a sub-forum...

I think it would be a good idea every now and again but not sure how easy it would be to start up again - that's my main concern!

Hi I was wanting to know your opinions on cheat days - are they helpful? Do you find it hard to get back on the diet after one? How often do you have them?

Ugh tired and stressed after work today, finally home :) Breakfast: Rice Crispies Lunch: Banana Shake Snack: Raisin bake & a few other food bits at Costco (work) Dinner: Chilli yum! I feel happy with today, hope it shows on the scales!

Okay so change of plan for dinner, I ended up having home made macaroni cheese with tuna through it. God knows how many calories were in that eek! I also slipped up a bit at the race night and had a bag of walkers crisps and a mini bag of skittles. Not much but every little bit adds up! I hope...

Yeah definitely! Many many years ago, women with lots of meat on their bones and curves showed they were wealthy and could afford plenty of food :) Women in old paintings are always curvy and gorgeous! I'd much rather look healthy like them. We're meant to have some meat to us not all skin and...

You will get there in time :) I've also had a lot of problems with acne which has resulted in a loss of confidence. Although I no longer have it I still have plenty of scars to show. With the help of my bf, I've learned to accept them and learned to love my curves rather than idolize stick...

Congrats on the new job! :D Glad both your days are going well, mine is too! I've not had anything sweet or chocolate-y all day which for me is big thing, I have such a sweet tooth! Breakfast - Rice crispies Snack - 4 fat free crackers Lunch - Banana shake I've been walking lots today and...

Wow this thread is great for keeping me going :D Thanks all and congratulations on your weight loss you all look stunning!

Hi I'm Alyssa-Roseanne (most people call me Aly for short - hence the screenname!) I'm a 19 year old student from North-East Scotland. My journey so far... Last summer I lost around 2 stone on the Special K diet and kept it off despite returning to junk food, although my stomach was much...

Hope everyone is finding the first few days easy! Keep up the good work :)

Found some fab crackers in ASDA today called Rakusen's 99% crackers. They have 1% fat (virtually no saturated fat which is the one to watch out for!) And only 18kcals per cracker so I can have 5 in one sitting :) Had about 4 today and they kept me going!

Definitely found a new favourite in the banana shake! Tastes just like nesquick and I LOVE that stuff :D Wolfed it down for lunch! Now off to the tanning bed then back for some University work ugh! I've already been to Uni today though so walking to and from bus stops, and walking to the...

Seem to have got some motivation back, on day two and doing well. This is usually the hardest day for me, or day three... After that my body is used to not having so much sugar and chocolate and general junk in it and doesn't crave it so much :) I won a free wash&blow dry at my local salon...

Th same has happened to me - everyone says I look like a completely different person now compared to a year or two ago :D I look at old pictures and I do see it, I lost just under 2 stone and it shows! I'm a lot happier with how I look now. However, I am only 19 so I know some of it could have...

Today has been going fine so far :) Breakfast: Rice Crispies + orange juice AM Snack: 4 crackers (0 fat, 18kcal per piece) Lunch: Banana shake (bought today to try!) I'm going to keep myself busy today. Got to go to the sunbed, lots of uni work to do and then a race night tonight (raising...

That could work, I have an old Costa one which might work a bit better than my current flask :)

Tesco does a great deal on stir-fry (veg, noodles and sauce for £2.50). It's delicious and healthy :) I also use some of the WW recipes as I know they will be low in calories and saturated fat :) A really good option is a baked potato, I usually have mine with tuna and sweetcorn. There are so...

Best of luck! It can be done :D

Last summer I lost just under 2st on special k, and now I'm trying a combination of special k and slimfast to try and lose the last stone or so! I also calculate the Weight Watchers points of the food I'm eating to make sure I'm not going over as I find it hard to fit a diet into my busy...

Well done glad it's going well! My day has been pretty good as well :) breakfast: frosties (equal in ww points to a shake, I prefer cereal in the mornings!) lunch: chocolate shake dinner: bolognase snacks: around 15 haribo pieces and a tiny bit of easter egg I was doing charity work today...

I've tried ice in the bottle which didn't work, plus if it was in a bag it might leak everywhere :S

Does anyone have any tips on keeping the shakes cold while out? At work I'm able to keep them in the fridge, but not at university. They taste horrible when warm! :jelous: I bought a flask with a stick you put in the freezer then in the flask but it doesn't work very well, only for an hour or...

It's ok, I know things don't always convey the way we want them to online! :) I understand what you mean, just don't know what my motivation was before and it's quite frustrating. Hoping to get some generic tips :)

thanks for the advice :)

I'm finding it really hard to stay motivated. I'll do one good day then fall the next, I just can't seem to stick to the plan :( I've done special k before and lost just under 2 stone! I can't for the life of me remember how I motivated myself to do it. Do you have any good tips on motivation...

hope so! :)

Would love to join in and have a support group! I'd like to lose 10lbs :)

I'm in a similar position! I'm 10stone 9lbs, my weight varies from 10st 7 - 10st 9lb. I just can't seem to get past 10st 7lb!! So frustrating I want to reach 10st then work from there. I tried starting today then my dad came home with an easter egg for me so will have to restart tomorrow after I...
