Thanks Lou! Hopefully there won't be any more weight gain catching up with me later on :-/ Mrsfeeney, be prepared to go for a style u never imagined..... Lots of my friends advised me of the same. And there's no harm in it, just enjoy the whole experience and try on as many as u can! Its...

Sounds just like the dress I imagined I'd have!! I wanted to look glam and sexy, I too have boobs and hips and a smaller waist, so mermaid looks fab on our shape :) Excited for u! Sadly, in reality the mermaid style wasn't that flattering on me :( But when I tried my princess dress on, I just...

Sooo, Day god knows what (49?) and into week 8. I came off plan on Friday night, with the idea that I need to have a weekend off plan to remind me of why I'm doing this. I was beginning to get bored and lose incentive as it just becomes a way of life after a few weeks. I was taking the mick...

Well done gettingskinny! That's a fab loss, and well done zoe for STS on a bad week. I came off plan from Friday night til Sunday and have gained 2lb. Its definitely worth it tho, I was beginning to get bored and lose incentive. Now I feel soooo determined. I may even do a few simplicity days...

Sweet of u to ask Clinq, its going ok. I had a blip on Sunday night and only lost 1lb last week. It made me realise I need to get back on track, I've been trying to find ways to have this and that because 'i know its allowed on Atkins!' So I need to sort myself out and stick to the S&S rules...

Sooooo 3lb off this week, and onto week 6! Like I've said before, its now becoming a way of life so it gets a lot easier week after week. Of course I still slip and have urges to scoff all that's bad! But the main thing is that 99% of the time I'm 100% (that sounds a bit contradicting haha)...

Yes Lou! Me too, I started this diet thinking it was a quick fix way to lose the most weight I could before the big day. But now, depending on if I get to goal or not before the end of May, I want to carry on with the maintenance plan as have NO plans to put it all back on after the wedding...

End of Week 4..... Day 28. So I carried on after my grumpy self, and then on Saturday morning I had my shake as normal and went out with my man. Edging nearer to midday, I suggested we go for lunch somewhere. We ended up at a Harvester if all places! It was then that I decided to get my...

Awww Thanks Lou. That's a good idea about the list, I love good list! I shall try it and see if it helps. I was in the pantry just staring at a box of cherry bakewells. It took all I had to walk away! I need to make sure my lifestyle meal is yummy and somewhat filling, and I NEED to up my water...

Day 24...... Feeling moody! Have been dedicated to the hilt, but at work now, eating my bland haddock fillet and veg is making me want to cry. I've also noticed I have been constantly thinking of having a break. Only one day though! And not horrifically bad.... Just bits that I can't get out of...

Wow! Just been looking through an old diary (hand written) and found a huge list of reasons to lose weight! Its really made me feel good knowing I'm well on the way to losing the bulk of it. Also, I wrote that my first goal would be to lose a stone... I was 16st 7 then, and im15st 6 now so...

Received my months worth of food packs today... A big selection!! Got my own section of the pantry and everything :) Can u only set a diary up on a PC? Can't see where to do it on my phone. Starting tomoro.... Eeeekkkkk!!!! Sent from my HTC One SV using MiniMins.com mobile app

Hahahaha! Exactly. Yeh well done on Wk 9 Sammy! Do u know what, I dunno if this makes it any easier, but I'm currently eating normal food and I'm really wondering what all the fuss is about. I just keep thinking about the diet and can't wait to start dropping those pounds. I remember when I...

Hi FG From what I hear, these days are normal and the exact kind of day where u need to keep strong and bulldoze through!!! You can DO IT!!! (P.s Please remind me of this when I get to my day 5!!) Xx Sent from my HTC One SV using MiniMins.com mobile app

Thanks Sammy, I suppose I can just see how I feel when the time comes can't I. I just don't want this diet to come second all the time. My first priority is to get slim, its just typical that whenever u feel motivated loads of social events come up! I got a confirmation email today.... My food...

I wouldn't mind being a size 14 bride Rocket, I think that's a delicious size :) I've ordered my dress from a gorgeous boutique in a size 20 (apparently u have to order in a size bigger for alterations?) I can only imagine what the poor seamstress will think when I rock up to the shop in March...

Wow Sammy, That is inspiration!! I can dream of wearing a bikini on holiday..... I've been size 18 for as long as I can remember but I'm quite tall so like they say 'u carry it well!' No more excuses tho. The thing I fear about this diet is the saggy skin.... Surely it won't ping back in 6...

Hey Rocket, cheers for the reply! I made my first order a few mins ago, eeeeeeek! I went full whack and ordered a months worth too.... I'm determined LOL! I pretty much ordered 2 shakes, a meal and 1 bar for each day and as its my first order I chose what I thought I would like and threw in a...

Hellooooo everyone, i have been reading some of these threads over the past few days, and ur all a load of nutters.... i feel so at home :D So, i've come to the conclusion that whilst this diet sounds bloody hard for the first few days, if u stick at it the results look amazing.... so i want to...

How did u do today?! Ok I shall keep that in mind to eat as late as possible then. Nothing worse than going to bed hungry.... That's when I usually snack the most, after a late shift! I've convinced my best mate/bridesmaid to do the diet with me..... We are the foodies who love dining out and...

Oh god Yeh, I remember the constant toilet dash!! And ur right, I probably shouldn't think too big too fast (or too small as I hope to be!) to start with. I know what u mean, I remember a few years ago I lost some weight just through more activity and think I must have been size 14-16 and...

Wow, well done for sticking it out!!! I haven't started yet, but every time I read these posts I get more and more determined to make my order..... Imagine weight loss coming off that quickly!!! Years of being overweight and then slim within months..... Crazy and exciting!!! Not without a bit of...

Hi fattygirl I tried Cambridge last year and lasted 4 days :( I was sooo grumpy and gave up before ketosis kicked in. What a waste! Since then I've crept up to 16.5 stone, also 5ft7. I got engaged end of last year and am getting married end of may 2014. Have really been considering doing...

Wow that's brilliant well done! I was on a massive downer yesterday and was thinking it was a night on the sofa alone with my water. Boyf was going on a lads night and friends were going clubbing. But after a couple of phonecalls to other friends i had a great night at the cinema, followed by a...

Thanks for all you help everyone, i sounded like a right spoilt brat! Because this IS my choice, and nobody is MAKING me do it, and i should appreciate there IS a diet out there that works quickly! And i have underestimated my gorgeous friends... After my soup and a long hot bath went all went...

I knoooow :( But when i was on weight watchers i went for a night out and stayed on diet cokes with a single vodka between each and i just got so sick of it, everyone was in high spirits and getting tiddly and i was getting more and more annoyed, couldn't enjoy myself and wanted to leave early...

Im really really really struggling today. I worked from 7 til 3 resisting the urge to snack the whole time, then i met the boyf in the park for a sunbathe and he had a big juicy orange and apple. I literally reached out for a bite til shock hit me that i can't even have fresh, yummy, healthy...

Hi poppy, Welcome to the forum! Its the end of my 3rd day on SS and i can't believe i even got through day one. This place definitely helps, they've been great with advice and motivation, and answering my daft questions! Hope you find it ok, good luck! X

Tell me about it! I keep flipping from really really positive to completely negative within minutes. Just been having a moan to the boyfriend about it! Think its coz whenever i work a late shift on Fridays i treat myself to a take away on the way home and obviously couldn't tonight :( I always...

Oh nooo poor you! You must have really struggled tho, i always have a little bit of fight in me that says 'you clearly don't need it, fatty!' lol. So are you back to square one with SS?

Good god, I've just had to find superhuman strength and feed 2 people Chinese... (i look after adults with cerebal palsy) Even as it was in the oven i was thinkin please god don't let me nibble on this stuff! I got through it, and im now having my Veg soup :( I sometimes feel a bit moody if I've...

Ok, i'll take it slowly then thanks guys. I just cleaned my house ie: polishing, washing, clean bathroom, tidying etc and i feel really weak and shaky now. Approx an hour after my first shake of the day? its not like im craving food now, i just don't know what to do with myself to get my energy...

Hi! I think if you read back on your own message, you've already answered your own question :) i really really wanted to lose it gradually to make sure it stayed off, but i was losing the Will to live with tiny losses each week compared to CD. Especially if you've been on it before and it worked...

Hi! From what i remember last Tuesday, my CDC said if you really really need to eat something, make sure its something like a bit of chicken breast, wafer thin ham or a boiled egg... YUM! Lol x

I am so scared to eat anything at all, i have the worst headaches getting into ketosis, i never want to go through it again! But so many people have had a slip and they get straight back on it and breeze through the next week so i wouldn't get too down hearted about it x

Thanks for all your advice guys. Your a lovely lot! You've had some great losses, my first weigh in is on Tuesday, so i have my first weekend coming up! Decided not to make any plans for Saturday night, and im working tonight so might be a breeze ;) i would really like to start exercising as i...

Im sure i can do without it, i just think when you hear you can 'maybe' have something slightly naughty, you cling onto that hope lol! Week 11... Wow, that's amazing. I can't wait to start feeling slimmer, i want to lose around 5-6 stone but i know with even a stone or 2 off i'll feel amazing...

Oh my god... Make sure you savour every single mouthful... I should not be reading this thread!!

Ooh looking forward to the bars then! Tried the chicken and mushroom soup... Not bad! Just like a cuppa soup! Instead of sticking to things i thought i may like, i just bought everything in all favours! But my CDC said i can swap anything don't eat or like. Can't wait for weight in... I really...

Lol! I was told not to have too many carbs the night before starting, mainly coz they bloat ur stomach, making you hungrier the next day? Regardless, i had a lamb shish kebab with pitta, chips, salad and garlic mayo!! mmmmm.....

Hi, Thanks for replying! I'm quite enjoying the water... its the only thing filling me up between the shakes! I had a bad first day :( Everything i chose to eat (slurp) was Yucky... Porridge, Strawberry Shake and Spicy Tomato Soup... so i assigned myself to water for the day. Then, from the...

My god, i'm on my second DAY and i feel like that already!! I can only dream of being on week 4.... Well done you!

Hi guys... new to all this, although i have been reading some of your posts over the last couple of days. Inspiring!! I'm on day 2 of SS and already feeling like 'what the hell am i doing!' Someone please talk to me coz i feel like a complete loner on this diet!! :confused:
