Managed to stay sane! That is an achievement in itself ! GD not well so been looking after her while trying to study, diet and pack for Dubai. Also babysat so others could go out.. Most of my summer stuff still fits, that's an achievement! I will be finishing my packing as tomorrow it's off to...

Drink loads of water, someone said they looked soo much younger after guzzling 3 litres a day inc tea. I think it was the daily mail.. Lol.. Could be too much salt or carbs just hanging in to make you feel bad. You don't always see it on scales and it's sometimes showing on the inch losses...

Had a good up day today, not too bad really so I will not do a DD until Monday but be good. Still not weighing in! Made home made mac n cheese with bacon and onion. Mmm even did the full white sauce myself and it tasted yum!

Well done on the STS! Excellent! I know it's been quite quiet but glad to see more posts. Well done on the coat, I do love a wee bargain :D

Welll it's a fast day today. Looking forward to it as I seem to enjoy eating rubbish on my up days. I know that needs to stop, and I hope it will soon.. Got a Gloriously Skinny soup for lunch and I am going for a pamper session tonight. :cool: Nails, wax, and eyebrow tint.. Lovin it! Still too...

Love that one! I might try low carb as well as the juddd. I need to start seeing losses after a 2 week holiday mid November..

Not sure when I should officially weigh in! Did an up day today so tomorrow is my down day. Still trying to get into the swing if this, but I know it works. Had wheatabix this morning then soup and toastie and some chicken with veg. 2 kitkat sand a toffee crunch! Lol, not good on chocolate!

Been busy busy. Mum back into hospital again for a week, gives my dad a break. Been good, bot really going mad on my up days which helps a lot! Had a down day yesterday, skinny soup, chicken breast with veg and a drop of sauce. Under the 600 which is ok. Need another good down day this week...

I love home made Mac N Cheese.. not that calorific :sigh:

Not today, I will fast Thursday then Friday up Saturday up and Sunday down. What's your plans? Had a wee cheeky bacon and egg roll that my colleague brought in, going to have soup and a cheese and ham toastie then not sure what I want for tea as I am at Uni tonight. Didn't want my stomach...

Did a successful down day and my up day today was not a bing! Makes a change.. Fancied mac n cheese and made that for my dinner... All in all doing ok, just need to stay away from the scales though! Lobe the idea of free healthy m&s s food! I would shop there if I could every week! Lol my food...

Hello! Good luck with today, only a stone to go you are doing so well! This is a great diet to be on and great for maintaining as well. :bighug:

Thank you all for the nice welcome back!:) I started off with a fast day just to remind myself how it works. I am on a fast day today, had 1/2 pot of Glorious Skinny soup Fragrant Tai Carrot 119 cals.. MMmmm. It is the sugar monster that gets me Derbynanny. I just can't afford to spend money on...

:hitthefan: After all my trials and tribulations I am back on JUDD. Did my first Fast yesterday, and I am feeling good about it. I will update my stats etc a I am at a PC just now. This will be a diary full of mad ramblings, but I am determined that by Christmas I will be in a better place...

I have been missing in action I am afraid, life got in the way big time but I am back today, just starting the long road back to behaving myself! I will remove me from the list as its not a result I want to put up...

Right! I am back after a long messy time of trying to get a house organised and being messed around by workmen etc. Finally moved in last Friday and then the GGD landed for a week so my daughter could go on holiday. I had been delayed moving in by 2 weeks, so I was literally living out of...

You and me both! Need to start behaving, but its been a bit mental! A stone would be great. Next week I am hoping to get a load of planning sorted then back into it! We can do this!

House insurance, sky in BT in, plumber coming Sunday, new loft ladder on Friday, car fixed Saturday.. Plasterer Monday, painting once its dry then carpets down. How the hell am I going to get curtains sorted as its not my forte! I will be v glad when its all sorted!

Been AWOL I'm afraid! I have stripped the living room and hall, had meetings with various workmen, went out to buy a 46" tv and came home with a 42" one! Story of my life? Lol.. Bought carpets for all areas and still need to buy a cooker! Well at least I have a BBQ and S&S packs! It's all go...

Hcg is a growth hormone that is used in medicine to treat various issues. I personally don't think it's a good idea unless its a doctor that deals with you.. You could do more damage than good? Hope your news is better than u imagine. Hope it's all going ok!

Day 2 and it is starting to get difficult. I always do well on day one, then day 2 the pangs start. Having third pack already! Had my choc shake this morning then a mush pasta for lunch and now a choc bar for snack.. On second bottle of water, 75 cl each.. Need to drink more water!

You stay in control, you will just feel more miserable if you don't? I know I do.. Just popping by to give my support.

I haven't disappeared! Just not been updating! Lol.. Struggling with issues but I will get there, honest! I keep up to date with how well everyone is doing, you could call it stalking.. Just nothing good to report from here, life has exploded into a big mess and I am sorting it out... Ho...

Wooho! Survived day one again! Just getting my act together as I will no longer wallow in self pity! Need to start going to the gym and making it a priority.. Things are starting to move along, I was stood up last night by two blokes, the painter and the plasterer! Lol.. Sone things never change!

Go girl! You are doing well! I am back to day one tomorrow..

Yup! You look mad but I felt it helped? Been a mad week, trying to get things organised, now got a couch and a unit in my living room! Need to go there this weekend and strip walls in preparation for decor change. Excited but worried all at the same time! Was DD 24th birthday yesterday...

Yes but it all becomes second nature. You look a bit constipated but it works!

Hugs to both from here x

Doing fab, I love beet root but don't eat it on this... Wish I could!

I loved the wobbly machine. You need to have one that oscillates as well as Vibrates? If that makes sense! I did feel a firming up of wobbly bits and it helped with water retention, inch loss and also poo! It was a nice 10 mins to stand and not think of anything with your music in and just zone...

Thanks Min. Glad it helped, I sat a project management exam, I need 4 units for a degree and I have gone back to it after 18 years. I failed the last time through, completely, resits and everything. Got up dusted myself down got a job and raised my kids. Now I thought I would go back to it. I...

Well done! See it works!

Sorry to hear that, my condolences.

Yes got half way through it last year and then the room I was using was remodelled as OH didn't want me to get fit really.. It was great, I got it or £5 off amazon and it did push me. Good on the diet as well, as you are not exercising for a long time but short and sharp burst. You thinking...

Good luck! I will be lucky to have not put on! AWOL this week, back on the horse!

Min. Hugs from here. Sometimes we bite off more than we can chew. Why we do it to ourselves I have no idea but you can't fit round pegs in square holes no matter how you try. I sat my exam, felt sick for days before it and just thought why am I putting myself through this? I am not hopeful for...

Well done on the weight loss! Let me know how you get on with the hypno gastric thing..

Thanks everyone, its been a bit mental really! Going to get quotes today on the work that needs done. Back on the diet. I am not weighing in until tomorrow and see how it all goes.. I am sure I have put the weight on with all the stress and food! Phoned gym and they will get back to me...

Hello! Nice to hear from you. Look forward to reading your exploits! Good luck.

Have a fantastic time!

Mine will be shabby! Best DVD is 30 day shred Julian michaels and she does others. Cheap off amazon. Then I got a kettle bell with free DVD which was great I think that was £12 all in. Great for bouncing in the house to. I will soon be able to do that again! X

It's been all go! I have now got my new house! Signed my life away yesterday, and it needs gutted but I am putting workmen in for quotes on Monday. Making lists like you wouldn't believe.. Diet will recommence on Monday as I have been well stressed this week with exam and everything. Life...

Thanks, I think it will be 3 weeks before I know has bad I was in the exam! My top half just fits a 12, I get the Bermuda Triangle on shirts and the lines on tee shirts that show the strain! I would just like to get the wobble firmed up and the last bit gone!

Fantastic! What a journey so far! You have done so well!

Way t go MSB! That's fabulous!

Ooh sounds lovely, not long until you are away! Countdown!

I got to 11 and stalled. Fitted into size 12 and everyone said I looked good, but I do want to get into the 10 or 9 stone bracket as I I would then b in the healthy bmi bracket? Going to buck up my ideas on the exercise front as well.

Good luck with your journey to a healthier you. Just picked up this thread and you have had a real bad time of it, sunshine is just around the corner! S&s was the only way I lost weight as well , having tried everything else under the sun. Look forward to hearing about your hot dare in August!

Go girl!

Thanks, I hated getting all stressed about exam but it was my first one in years! 81 people all scribbling like mad for 2 hours. I could have had another 2 hours writing of they had let me! I didn't finish 2 questions off properly so I can only hope! Now looking at gym classes so I can plan...

Doing good keep it up!i hate TOTM and the rain, both in equal measure!

Exam day has arrived. Brain feels like sludge, awoke with dawn chorus and now cannot get back to sleep! Keep on looking at passed papers in vain hope it will all fall into place! No point in worrying now! Going to make a cup of tea as quietly as I can! Don't want to wake anyone else!

I know that feeling well! Looking forward to your updates!

Do you know, that's all that really matters! As long as he adores you and worries about you and is nice to you! I don't like the duck photos of girls or the posy pics of boys you see more of now a days.. I am an old fashioned gal and like my men to stay clothed until I want to undress them... (...

Good going on the jeans! Nice feeling isn't it! I haven't had the bottle to try the zero noodles, some people on here were not very complementary of them! I thought if you marinated them first in whatever to give them flavour might help as some were saying they were tasteless. Others said they...

Going to try diet again today, hot choc shake is brewing and I have passed papers to do!

Well done! That is amazing!

Spangly! Have you been taking multivitamins? Vit d and b might be something you are missing.. Just a thought. Have a look at some websites and see what might help? You are coping with such a lot, I like the 5:2 idea on the diet, I did the juddd and I maintained my weight all the way from August...

Well I didn't want to say that as I was being nice! Lol.. We used to say brown paper bag..

Yup, u ok?

Ooh my! What a bod!

Busy busy! Good luck with the exams, studying myself and struggling! Fingers and toes are crossed for the interview! Rooting for you! Let us know how it all goes..

I had fun on the shaky shaky machine, power plate was the best, it was relaxing, not energetic but I did notice the wobbly bits go in ? Also a few of those ultrasound massages things some others found good as well? Others have discussed the wrap things as well for tightening areas prone to not...

Thanks, got some of the diagrams cracked! Woohoo! That was hell, 4 days it took me! God I am soo thick, but I was putting in extra circles where they were not needed! It just confused the whole thing completely and drove me MaD! Diet gone to hell in a handbag, eating the contents of my...

Go for it! It's a journey not just a destination! You will learn a lot about yourself on this.. Good luck x

Great, love the chilli was never a strawberry fan but some people made it into a dessert by using less water and sticking it in the fridge?

Well done on the 4lb loss! The body does its own thing, it doesn't stick to rules or what we expect to see. In my experience the weight came off the scales first, no body shape change then it eventually showed in inches when I had a lower loss on the scales? It drove me mad.. I think it does it...

Excellent losses, glad it's all going well and I know the choc is a bind when it's calling! I can't wait until it stops its siren call..

Brilliant! Way to go for a refeed!

Good for you! It's always handy to see how life after diet will work, you have done a great job considering all the stress etc so you get a big pat on the back from me! Glad Max is getting better, slowly but surely does it. Working the diet round your life helps to ease the hassle, as long as...

I can no longer pretend I am Marilyn Monroe.. (Sigh) Here is my head shot.. I will do body ones once I get my kit on!

Brilliant! That's a great start Dolly!

Thanks! I was suffering by styling to stick to diet and not feeding the brain, which in turn was panicking me out about this exam. I didn't do too badly, it could have been worse! I will start my day as usual and see how it does, just not stressing about it all at the moment.

Diet jiggerd so starting again tomorrow! Studying going a bit better though!

Well done, and we are all in on the 12 weeks by the looks of it! Scales are always tempting to stand on but I do call them my mood setter, if it looks good then I have a good day, if it looks bad then I have a bad one! Some people end up hiding them because of this.. Have a great fist week!

I tried the vibro plate and I thought it was great for pulling in the wobble? You have to do it daily though and vary your positions and up the tempo as well.. I did feel a difference after a month but you do need to be regular on it?

Aaw they are so cute! Do they shed much hair? I am thinking seriously about getting a dog, but lots of factors have to be considered first. They have lovely wee faces!

Level one is ok. And level 2 is great? I found I enjoyed level 2 better than one? Never even looked at level 3!

Project management is very dry as well. Trying to get diagrams into my head along with key words. Yuk. Did ok yesterday, 3 days left to try get it together. I just feel thick and its not sticking yet. I ended up having some naughty crisps but my excuses were many! Still got the cold, I think...

Yes we probably would! I can see them rubbing their hands in glee when they see me coming..

It was good, wouldn't advise it in the first couple of weeks of this diet as your body still has to adjust. If you do it at your own pace it works well, if you need extra and feel hungry after it have extra protein i.e. eggs or some meat or an extra pack at a push. I found it ok, never got past...

Good luck!

I was going to say you first! Lol.. No face pic from me as I am famous and don't want it to hit the newspapers that I am dieting again! (Joke!) Could do a fat body picture with a bit of chin?

I am in bed with a hot choc just now. Yesterday I went to the steam room and sauna to try loosen up the phlegm, it did help a lot really! OH and GD turned up for a swim, so that was great. We then took DD OH and GD for dinner before I crashed in bed again. Got to get up and study, I looked...

Sorry to butt in, I did the 30 day shred and it was great, I just ran out of living room space! I will get back into it when I move house ..

Friday feeling! Hope it was a good one and have a great weekend.

And relax, you learn from it and move on. As long as you know why how etc you can get on with the next day. Hugs from here.

Doggy pics please! Enjoy your wandering round the market.

Love the dress! Looking great and I wish my waist looked like that! 4 years study, you will have a great time with all that knowledge! Fabulous place for a honeymoon though.. I went skiing in Italy instead.. Ahh memories!,

Count me in! I weigh in on a Tuesday. I would love to lose 28lbs by August. I know it looks small but I do find it difficult to lose anything and I only seem to lose a pound a week as a standard. I think it's hormonal or just a stubborn body! As long as I am losing and not STS I am happy!

Excellent. Way to go with the water, I do find that bit the hardest!

Thanks Frona. I am staying off work today as well, still coughing and spluttering. Going to take meds and see how it goes. Need to get into studying! Got a washing on already so I just have to get my act together. had extra meat yesterday as I was needing it, I think it was the body insisting...

Glad you will be getting help, that's great news. Go girl! You can do it with grit and determination. Look forward to reading your successes! Roll on August, didn't think it was only 12 weeks! Eek! Woohoo!

Sun? What sun? Lol, it's dry I will give u that! I am in bed with the bad cold so just catching up on your diary. I am an avid reader, don't comment much though, does that make me a stalker?? Glad your shopping trip went well and you are all excited about hols, I have always wanted to go to...

Well done you! That a great result.

Hello and welcome! Trying to think what helped me in the beginning.. Lots of reasons there so good luck, drink loads of water and watch out for headaches that soon pass. Don't forget to moisturise as well as this helps with skin tone and feels good.

I mixed the vanilla with hot water and coffee.. Tastes quite nice that way and helped get rid of them?

And relax. It's a journey that we all learn on, not a destination? Take a note of why you are doing it to yourself. You are not affecting anyone else, just you! List your emotional triggers, so you can see them in black and white. Sometimes we need a break, if you have been doing this for a...

Yup! Not doing that ever! Got the cold from hell, how did I survive all winter then get the cold in may! Phoned in sick, and just laying in bed feeling sorry for myself. I really need to start studying but I feel rotten. Having a hot choc to see if that perks me up any. Diet going ok, saw...

You are a spangly super person who sprinkles glitter, so be nice to yourself and take it easy. Lol.. Carb highs and lows can be hell, good luck with getting over that as its always a struggle for me!

Just playing catch up, well done on our food choices and good girl being stubborn! It's your life and your decisions that make it!

Whew! Just had a quick read! Glad you got it checked out, even better that you are ok! Fingers crossed for OH job.. Would be great to hear good news! Like the ribena idea for the freezer.. Mmm where did I put those lolly makers!

Go girl! Glad the weather has been nice for a wee change!

Well done on your weight loss, I feel your pain on the cold front as my DD gave me hers! I feel awful with you! Lol..

Don't fret, as you know it's a journey not just a destination.. Glad you had a fab bank holiday it sounds lovely!

I agree! Mine just expects me to fix and do everything and I got sick of him acting like a child. I will no longer facilitate that behaviour! Got though the weekend, didn't do too badly, saw the old folks and we had family time. Got the cold now and I just hate it! Back on diet today, curry...

Today I am meeting OH and taking GD swimming, then going to meet pals and then taking DD and GD to go see other DD in Glasgow? Sunday morning bit of shopping then take the troupe to go see my Mum and Dad. It will be great as we are staying overnight and it will be great!

I am hoping its just the dieting that's releasing hormones from the stored fat?? If not I want to be a boy! It's been bad but its calmed down, I had everything all going at once, and a sore throat and a mushy brain. The lads at work thought I was losing the plot completely! I could barely...

Glad it's going ok, I know what you mean about missing JUDD, but its only for a short blast before you go back? That's what I keep telling myself!

TOTM went from a gentle trickle to full flood last night. Not what I wanted when I was trying to get the report finished but hey, it was handed in and then I went home to curl up with a hot water bottle. Today I was later into work than normal as I couldn't get my act together. Did ok today at...

Good going, you did really well to only have chicken instead of anything else. Take it a stage at a time, don't put extra pressure on yourself.

Ouch! Bruising is always fun! Lad you are doing well, I would love to be as active as you!

3 weeks! TOTM hasn't really gone away in 3 weeks! I may go to doc and see if the can give me something cos this is depressing! I wouldn't mind if the weight was dropping off, but its a pound at a time.. I can only hope that it will get better!

Hi, love the pics, dress looks fab on you! Sorry to hear about your aunt hope she gets better soon.

Fantastic! You can really see the difference! Looking great there, what you got left to shift! I have 2 stone to go.

That sounds so cool! I know, now I have a taste for it, I am looking into doing the full thing, no half measures! Full bike test! You're on! Report is finally handed in! All the hard work and I am now in bed dying with TOTM and the lurgy! I just want to pass the exam on 15th then I can relax...

Thanks ladies! I had a fabulous time and was glad I did it, I didn't get a pass, but I think they just wanted my money! I did enjoy it though.. I weighed myself today, full flow TOTM with a vengeance. I am struggling in bed to even think about getting out of it! Placed another months order...

Shed loads of studying and a report to do, starting to lose the plot really! Diet going ok, had a curry soup for lunch then a mush pasta for tea. Need to place another order today! Asparagus mmm.. I think I want to do this for another 4 weeks to see if I can get into the 10's which would be new...

Hope your weekend went well, you have had a rough patch but you have to remember we need these so we appreciate the good times when they come... You have each other and that counts for a lot too. Hugs from here!

Fantastic result! And your food demons are havin a sulk! Don't let them win, you are doing a fab job!

Another day done, doing ok, got a majority of the work don that I wanted.. One last push tomorrow and then that's it! The dark side is going to be me until I get to the blooming weight I should have got to last August. Heart wasn't in it though.. Going to get to a size ten and get toned if it...

Hugs from here.

Wow, you have done so well. I always love catching up with other diaries, other people help to put all the diet trials and tribulations into perspective. Don't be so hard to yourself, remember ho w well you have done and that it been great to keep most of it at bay. It's that last bit that will...

8 weeks to Canada! Woohoo! Sounds fabulous and a great goal to aim for! I have no idea about holidays so far, so I have no major goal a the moment. Sorry to hear about your trials and tribulations. I hope it all sorts itself out soon. I am doing a report for uni and its group work, at least 2...

Had a tough time on my class, it was the trains that did my head in. The diet went ok, have the mystery TOTM that appears and disappears with no clear rhyme or reason. I had a bit if a splurge on Monday with DD, not a bad one but it was lovely seeing her.. Then today I have only had one pack...

Chin up, be glad your housework is done, I have ironing to do tomorrow! Hope the dispute gets settled soon Hugs from here.

Brill on your result! Roll on the 10's!

Thanks girls! At a training course so no microwave! In the big smoke of Glasgow though and I was trying to remember, did someone say they had a subway salad or something that was great for this diet! I have been on choc shake and a biscuit while training, came home and had some cottage pie...

Chin up, u might be a lucky girl who gets away with some citric acid? Sorry it's not been great and I am sure it will get better soon!

I know! Right way at least!

Well done! That's a brilliant result!

Lost a pound! Was v naughty last night so I cannot complain. Back to the drawing board.

Coooeeee!

How you doing? Hope you are having a great time in Cornwall. How you enjoying crossfit?

I know! I am being hopeful, was taken out by SD and didn't do well, but I am over it! Back on the wagon.. I don't think I was too bad, but I do hope the scales don't kill me for it! Day 1 of my training course, its a week long and its not got microwave. I will just have to have shakes this...

Woohoo! Roll on week 2!

Well done that is fantastic, shows you it is worth it!

Woohoo! That's fantastic! Well done!

Had a fab day yesterday, wee one has come on leaps and bounds. She was happy to float and try swim! Did housework as well do feeling a bit better about my location. OH still not good but getting better. At training course today, just had a shake for lunch!

Fingers crossed for your weigh in tomorrow. I weigh in on Tuesday so I am behaving myself! Housework to do here as well.. Onwards and upwards, or is that inwards and downwards!

Thanks guys! I got up and stripped my bed, did a massive ironing and 2 washings. I them took bedding to my mum and dad and washed and dried that there as i don't have room here to dry it. I took my DD and GD to my mum and dads. Had a nice day with them and stuck to the plan. Going to get...

I wish I had one of them! Enjoy your work, hope it keeps u out of mischief!

Ooh let me know how you ge on with them.. Much cheapness is the order of the day..

What Minerva said! Good luck however you tackle it, remember we are all here xx

Glad u had a great time with PT! How did u get hooked up with him? Is it a once a week thing? Nice when stuff starts to get loose!

Back from sorting out big cuz pc issues! Did well in the Indians had chicken wings for starters, no sauce, bit of lettuce and spicy onions.. Mmmm Then had chicken tikka with sauce on th side, didn't eat the rice, did have 2 bits of naan.. Had black coffee for desert and loads of water from my...

Make that 4! I never drink enough water, I drink lots of tea and coffee though..

Sounds like a plan.. I will enjoy it however I get on with it, my cousin won't be happy but tough!

I know! Take a bat and some coke zero, that's how I did it!

Aaw, sorry you feel rough, get better quick!

Everyone has an opinion. You can listen but don't have to take it on board. Just chill, you know it's someone that's concerned about your welfare and its good to have people looking out for us. You could always ask her to define what she meant, only if you feel you need to. Sometimes it's better...

I know, weekends I find the hardest! Especially not drinking!

Roll on Monday!

Woke up in a better mood, headache gone! :p Did a bit of work for Uni and put it out there for the others to look at. Now need to get on with the buit I was supposed to be doing! Friday going to see my big cousin, I will take the car and not drink, and as its indian food I will ask for...

Your dress looks amazing on you! What a fab choice!

Well done on the 3lbs! You are a real tonic!

Ha, the body and mind are trying to get their own way! Don't let them! Take your measurements and see if they have changed? It will be working, it's just trying to hide.. Well done on the haircut, over a year, it must have grown so long!

I did alright actually, in the end I managed to stay away from food until much later in the evening. Thanks for that, you all keep me going! Saw OH and he was trying to pull at my strings but I gave him hell. He thinks he can get away with " I didn't mean it" and " I am sorry" Just back from...

Glad Max is getting better, don't fret about those 2lbs they will drop off! Just get your head back into it.

Lol, glad that's sorted then!

You look fab in those photos, well done you!

Good luck! I love the choc ones.. Mmm

Wet wild n windy here! Or is that just me? Lol

Thanks peeps. I am struggling today for some reason, I think the visit to the lawyer didn't help! I have had 2 packs already, a mushroom one and a bar and I still want to munch. Just going to glug that water now..

Thanks, only 3 pounds or more and I then only have 2 stone to lose! I will do this, even if its a pound a week! :thankyou:

:cross::cross: Go get em Cherry-Blossom! Show them what you are made of!

:worthy::worthy::worthy: Well done you! You must be so chuffed with that! I managed apund off but at least its in the right direction! My body is just playing with me and the mind games are great also.. Go get the 11's now, they are in your grasp.. :clap::clap::clap:

I am not going to cry into my coffee, I have lost a pound.. :eek: Its better than a STS :D It's in the right direction and I feel better for being on the diet. I just need to up m water intrake again and stop eating too much meat! :p I do enjoy the odd peperami stick and it causes my diet...

Go girl! One done and dusted!

How goes it? You doing ok?

Thanks all.. I got through it, just! It's trying to not eat gum that I have issues with, when I get stressed I want gum! Still need to do more work tonight, not doing so well.. Gym with have to wait until next week I think! Going to start booking classes so I have to go! Weigh in day...

Each to their own, it's the same with diets. We just have to try different methods until we get the ones best suited to our needs and lifestyle. I was nearly on them, but I went to the gym instead! I wouldn't recommend that route for everyone! We all need to silence that inner voice that's so...

Mmm, mushrooms or leeks to pad it out, shallots are another fav.. Cabbage, mmmm I cannot believe I am dribbling over veg! Lol..

We are all here, we all have our issues and its great to blog them. Then when we read back we can then see how for we have come. Slowly does it, go easy on yourself and hugs from here.

Struggling today, I was booked for an exercise class and they cancelled! Then I started eating earlier due to studying and I am now looking to Hoover everything else up! Grr.. Not doing well on the studying either! I soo need to get my head into this?

Good luck, I have enjoyed my peek at your diary and I am going to subscribe! Roll on ketosis !

Had a good day, behaved and I will be glad when the weekend is over.

I like them, they didn't have the mac n cheese so I doubled up on them. I have them with leeks or asparagus or spinach to pad it out a bit.

Hope all going well! Have a great weekend.

Woohoo! Lookin good on the losses! Enjoy the party, I find it interesting seeing people when they r drunk and u are sober!

Had a good day today, back feeling better. Mushroom pasta for lunch and then again for dinner with some leeks. Mmmm Chicken as added protein. Then a vanilla crispy shake with coffee made hot! Just relaxing watching tv now..

I know how you feel, I didn't get a break yesterday and I was livid as I needed a coffee break! Lol

My iq isn't great, but I will persevere until I get it!

I am on implant, just finishing a TOTM.. Got it in jan /feb and it only started to grumble once I started this diet? I think it must affect the hormone lev,s as I have seen loads of people with similar issues? I hope it settles down soon!

Beat you to it, had a fab facial! Mmm was the best! Going swimming Friday, with the wee one and then studying all weekend! Will do some exercise as well..

Hello! Congrats on your restart! Look forward to reading your progress, I only made it back last week myself...

Getting on with it now. Lol TOTM and uni and men and kids and OAPS and diets! I am going to study like mad this weekend as I feel soo thick! I have refrained from the clothing as mine still fit me from last weight change, I want to get down another size before I go mad with the card! eBay is...

Well done on yours! It's been manic in my world, just back from uni. Back not as bad today, work still manic but at least I am not travelling next week. I intend to study like mad this weekend and not go anywhere. Been sticking to the diet, getting on with it and its doing ok. Having extra...

Woohoo! Just caught up with your loss, that is fantastic! Well done and roll on week 2!

I get dizzy if I drink too strong a cup of tea on an empty stomach? I also eat peperami as an emergency, they are high in salt etc and di the trick, u can buy the minis? Glad to see ur at the gym. I decided to join mine last Saturday. You are doing really well, I enjoy reading your diary so...

11.11! I think that's 7lbs I lost then, and with TOTM! I feel awful but I am going to keep going. The thought of finally getting my body back is pushing me on. U hate wearing this fat suit as it does nothing for me!??

Hope you are doing ok, no pain as yet but I do remember once needing to have laxatives due to bowels. That's not happened this time yet!

Another day crossed off, TOTM is still lurking, pain but not much else. I hope my back feels better tomorrow! Did ok, mushroom pasta for lunch, then a Truffa bar and some chicken and mushroom pasta for tea. A choc shake before bed. Mmm Time to brush teeth and wrap it up for the night!

Whopp! Honk! Well done, you are doing great!

Shame they had gone out of date! I love Truffa bars. I try not to eat them every day! Glad that's a week down, cold hands and no hunger. I don't want to check my breath though!

I have one just like that! My Mum is well versed in the art of backhanded compliment's.. I can't understand why I look for her approval, but when I lost 4 stone all she could say was I looked better and needed to lose another 3! I just rise above it, my daughters try take her to task and she...

Go girl, once you get the first few under your wing it does get easier. You just have to remember why you are doing this! Look forward to you saying you did it!

I hope so! Back sore today, every time I start to exercise my back packs in! It should be ok by Thursday I hope.. Doing ok this morning , just had some mushroom pasta.. Mmm Weigh in day tomorrow and I hope it's a good one!

That's the spirit! I hate TOTM?? You have been busy! I do my first weigh in tomorrow..

Another day done.. Had a good day food wise, exercise wise I am shattered! Feels good to get back into it though.. I will have a sore lower back tomorrow! Bought some deep heat just in case! I also had to go buy some new gym trousers as the other ones look terrible. Too tight as I look cut in...

I was 15 stone then I found s&s. had tried everything and just couldn't do it! I have been hit n miss with exercise and niw just going to get into it again!

Hugs from here. Domineering people are not always the happiest, I should know as my husband has been one for 18 years! They can't believe it when someone else has an opinion or wants to do something different from them! Ho hum, best to let go and see if he wises up.

You do have busy Sundays! I am not doing anything until 2pm as that us my meta fit class.. Not been to the gym in ages I will just have to bite the bullet and go! Nervous!

Hugs, we all have our issues, I hope yours get sorted soon and you find peace so you can sleep!

Love it! Hide the food trick is added to my list of favourite ways to stop overeating ! Glad you got fed finally, I would have eaten the napkin at that time of night!

Keeping busy! Glad to hear someone else ops to drive rather than drink! I do that!

Yup, I know how that feels! Chin up, it will get easier. Had to revert back to slim and save to stop the rot.. I did well on it first time around, Judd was great for maintenance. I also felt that slim and save got rid of my bad sweet tooth and my crisp issues! ? I need to tap into that again...

His issues are not your issues. Don't take them on board and give him power to upset you. Have a better day tomorrow. Hugs from here

Paint your nails, soak in bath, go for a walk.. You can do it! Remember why you are doing this. Hugs from here ?

Lovin it! Hols are a brilliant incentive! ?

If will be my first time back in the gym and I am nuts as it will be my first class! Never done it before, heard of people bring sick but that will not be me! The TOTM is still threatening! Lots of pain and not much else. Typical! I was hoping for a break from it all??

Well done! Your outfit looks great too, I love the top? DP might be getting a visit tomorrow..

Had a look at the council gyms, too many bad boys hanging around for my liking. As a single female I didn't feel comfortable? I am not a snob I just like to feel safe? I have now joined a more expensive one but one I feel sage in, I used to go to it a few years ago? Got it for a bit cheaper so I...

Fingers crossed! Up and having a coffee. Going to research gyms today, my pal can't come as she's having a house crisis with water! It sounds horrendous! Going to check out 2 options and then have a think about it! Taken me this long to get into it! I do need to start something and if I have...

Medical cover, you will get to see some amazing sights I imagine! Enjoy your weekend.

Yes, water to bed, and its there if you need it. Good luck with your weekend, we are all here for you!

In bed chillin, had some pepperami as a treat.. Need to stop that though, but it is my first Friday and I also think I may be coming down with TOTM! Lol.. I have implant so that shouldn't be happening! Just my luck as I was hoping to go swimming tomorrow? Pants!

How you doing Frona! Have been thinking about ou a lot since I disappeared for soo long! What you been up to! Glad to see you are still reading my diary. New attempt at the challenge ahead! Lol..

Don't think I could camp as I am an old dear! Lol, glamping or VIP would be more my style! I just fancy the music and the atmosphere. Working must be mad at these things!

Do you like the cookies n cream? I remember the first batch that had salt in them.. I didn't find them that bad but others did? I doubled up on of my packs the other day and I enjoyed doing it! First time ever! Glad to see you still going strong. I just need to get my head around this again...

Photos are looking good! Changes are a happenin', keep up the good work! I would love to go to a festival, its on my bucket list!

I would love to lose just shy of 3 stone.. I did manage to lose 4 stone last year from January, but I have put 1 and a bit back on. Not going to worry about it, just going to continue where I was heading and see if I can finally make it there! I will be joining a gym this week, not sure which...

Wow! You must be so fit now! I wish..

Just had a catch up on your diary, you are doing brilliantly! I have just restarted S&S this week, so I will try keep up with your progress.. Good Luck! :cool:

Well done, you have taken that first step on the road to success. :vibes: :vibes: Sending you good vibes! Slowly and surely you will reach your goal, remember its also about the journey and what you learn about yourself on the way? Keep a log of your inch loss, when the scales didn't move for...

Study doing ok! I am finishing a paper this weekend and gutting my tiny bedroom.. I have an exam 15th May and I soo want to pass as it would be such an achievement, but I am just soo scared I look thick! :sigh: Enjoying the activity it brings in my life, its a bit like advoidance therapy for me...

Hi miss vlcd, I have just restarted, I was lucky as I didn't have that many packs hanging about from the last time! Day 3 for me too! I got my food parcel yesterday so onwards and upwards for both of us :) Enjoy your karate tonight

Thought I would pop in and say hi, just back on it myself again. Go girl, you know you can :D

I have survived day 2, Day 3 here I come! Food parcel arrived yesterday so I have had a well earned truffa bar and some hot chocolate to drink :p mmm. Getting hunger pangs and grumbly tummy, but I know that will subside at some point this week, roll on the metalic taste in my mouth! :D I am...

:eek: Back again! I have had a lot of issues to deal with recently, I won't go into them. They are still not sorted but I WILL NOT allow them to affect me any more. I need to stop using them as excuses and start looking after myself again.. :8855: Like that will ever happen! I have bought my...

Morning Bananas! I am back as well, Going to do Slim and Save for a month and see how the weight is. I got down to 11 stone and couldn't crack that, so I ended up messing myself about! :cry: I started yesterday again, I only had a couple of packs left so I am waiting for a new monthly supply to...

Going to come back to juddd. Starting Monday, back on it and going to exercise like a mad thing! Promises !

3 weeks until I go off to Sunny Spain! :cool::cool: I am soo excited! I wonder how much toning and weight loss I can do before then? :whacky068: Trying to stick at S&S for another few days, I have managed to shift 7lb's so I will be back to JUDDD very soon I think! Busy busy busy!!

Still a bit sore after last shred, shows u how unfit I have become! Wet and miserable with TOTM but just about to get stuck in again.. I don't think I could have done it after pancakes though!

Did a day 1 of 30 day shred.. Lets see how long it lasts this time! I want to do it until I go off to Spain, now that would be an achievement! Lol..

Good luck, I did my first shred tonight in a confined space! Lol, if anyone could see me they would think I was mad!

Thanks for your messages, I much appreciate you all being around! I have finally decided to go back to Slim and save for the next 2 weeks to try shift some of the damage I have done during the last 12 weeks. I have gone up to dead on 12 stones so I am changing my weigh in information and...

Thank you ladies its much appreciated. We all have our issues and its great just to have somewhere to talk.. I loved my night at the hotel with my pal, food was brilliant, facial was fantastic and I came back all relaxed on the Monday. Met up with OH on the Tuesday, he is looking a bit more...

Thanks, I hope things are improving for you too. I haven't been in the right frame of mind to do any dieting, so I have stayed away.. I have been very busy, I am going back to uni, night classes starts next week. I am quite comfy in my room as a lodger, its been a great place to relax. I...

Thanks for that. I hope we can salvage something, even if its just being friends! I just don't think me heading into the local loony bin would help! Being nice to myself and going to start dieting again next week. Hope the weather improves!

Right peeps, I know I disappeared on you all but I ave been busy! Things haven't been great with OH and I got to breaking point. I love him but he was doing my head in! I have moved out of family home and found a nice wee room to relax in while the dust settles and we sort ourselves out. Make...

As a well behaved up day, then that night didn't sleep and was up at 4am. Tried to do a DD and it lasted most of the day until the wee one brought in a chineses! Better luck tomorrow!

Welcome back!

Been there and done that with my OH so I can really empathise. His was benign so I am keeping my toes and fingers crossed for your news.

Fingers crossed all goes great. Hugs from here..

UD yeah! Not sure what I am looking forward to!

DD and its coming in at 602 cals but I am not going to stress! Lol.. I had yogurt and jelly, then eggs omelette with a bit of cheese. Stir fry for tea with some seafood mix. Mmm Was worth it!

Having an ok UD, trying to be good and not eat rubbish! Had porridge for breakfast, an innocent snak pot for lunch with yogurt and fresh fruit then a flapjack. Will have a nice dinner and see what happens..

Oooh that sounds fabulous!

Thanks getting there, it's been an interesting first day, not been that difficult..
