Hi everyone, I was just wondering how you make your shakes? I used to do cwp but always found the shakes grainy and powdery. I remember reading how people made them like McDonald's thick shakes. Any help would be great.

Hi everyone, I am starting CWP today. Doing SS with 3 products. Wanting to lose 8 stone in total. Is there anyone else starting today?

Hi all, I'm starting cd and meeting my consultant on Sunday. Really excited to get going! Just wanted to introduce myself. x

Ok so January was a serious non starter. I was full of good intentions and lost the first week. Then I went away on a training course for 5 days with meals provided for me and limited break times. The following week I went to Kent for the weekend, then the following weekend went to visit my...

Ok this isn't for everyone. I was watching gmtv (daybreak) before work and Kelly osbourne's therapist was giving hints and tips. One was to wear an elastic band (I used a hair tie) on our wrist. Every time ou go to cheat your diet ping it on your wrist and tell yourself to snap out of it. Like...

So 6lbs off in my first weigh in. Happy with that obviously more would have been nice but can't complain. Lighter than before Xmas!! Onwards now. Feeling v cold today so I plan on a nice bath and an early night!!!

6lb off! Really pleased with that!! Caroline - 14lbs. (0lbs down, 14lbs to go) Simmy1978 - 14lbs. (0lbs down, 14lbs to go) Noodles1609 - 14lb (8lb down, 6lb to go) Princesssappho - 14lb (5lb down, 9lb to go) LastEverDiet - 18lbs (0lbs down, 18lbs to go) trisha - 14lbs (0 lbs down, 14lbs to go)...

I get cold hands and feet so snuggle under a duvet on sofa

The wafers are yummy!! I didn't like the maple bar. Thought I was gonna vom!! Not a dark choc lover either!

The chocolate praline bar is gorgeous!! Just like a Milky Way bar just a bit firmer!!!!

I have seen jersey boys, penn & teller, le reve (thoroughly recommend), phantom of the opera, blue man group (great with kids), ka - all the above were great!!

I hope this the last time I start a diet. It would be so nice not to have being overweight at the forefront of my mind everyday!!!

Thanks ladies. Hoping lots of us who are ttc get lucky this year xx

How does s&s affect your period? (if at all) I have PCOS and until starting s&s rarely had a period. When I did I would be so hungry all the time. I would eat everything and anything in sight and have horrid period pains. This month I have no appetite and no pains. I am struggling to have all my...

So I thought I would give this diary writing a try. I want to have something to go to everytime I feel the need to go off plan etc. My problem is I need sort term goals to keep me on track for my longer term goal. I orginally started S&S back in March and my aim was to be at goal by July/August...

I have used the wrigleys sugar free mints on this diet previously and of affected my losses

Well done hun

When your there use tix4tonight. It's a lot cheaper for shows. Also you can get vouchers for restaurants. 2 for 1 etc. if you fancy a special meal go to voodoo restaurant at rio one night. It's amazing and the views of the strip are incredible. Plus the food is out of this world. Message me if...

I don't think you can

I too am loosing and ttc. We have been trying for 5 years and I have PCOS. I hate this time of year. Pregnant women EVERYWHERE!!! Someone in my office is 12 weeks preggo and as happy for her as I am it's heart breaking. I want my turn!!!!

Thanks everyone. I just wondered as you always see on forums people saying I want to be a size 10 at ..st

I am. Some of its crazy

A new wardrobe!! I can't wait to walk into river island and not worry that they only go upto a 16/18 Then holiday in June and feel confident in a bikini!!

Are there any apps or websites that allow you to put your height and weight in and give you an idea of what clothes size. Reason I ask is I no how much weight I want to lose but I don't know what clothes size it would make me. I know all shops are different it would be cool to have a rough idea...

I get very cold and I am naturally a warm person. Until s&s I didn't own a jumper!! I don't mind the cold, have a nice bath, put my onesie on and snuggle down with a book. On the plus I have PCOS and until s&s I hadn't had a period for about 18 months. Within a month of s&s I'm as regular as...

I have just subjected myself to some window shopping. I have stood in the changing rooms in my underwear (we all no how horrible the changing rooms are) and took pics of myself from 3 angles. I will use these pics everytime I go to cheat on my diet. Then when I hit target I will come back here...

Happy New Year to you all and I hope 2013 brings you everything you wish for x

Personally I have: * A family wedding on 20th April * A holiday in June * A friends wedding in September With s&s I will be confident at all three of the above!!

I'm starting 2nd Jan. was all set to start 2 weeks before Xmas but my order went to a neighbour and it was 22nd December before I found out which neighbour had it as no note was put through the door!!

I have PCOS (yes it can cause weight gain but it's not all to blame) I'm happy the way I am (total lie- I hate the way I am) I'm from a food lovers family (true but moderation is everything and my siblings aren't fat!) In honesty I never felt worthy of being happy about myself. My biological...

Love these things. Big thing for me this year has been sitting comfy on an aeroplane and the belt having lots of excess!!!

Well done 2.5 stones is amazing. Our year sounds identical although it was my mum-in-law we lost. I didn't want to get to Xmas having lost nothing. My start day is tomorrow!! Figured better not to start on a Monday (don't ask me why however have heard people who start diets on a Monday don't...

Just curious to see what everyone is going to do. I'm all about preparation!!

Thanks hun

Just read your thread from start to finish. Wow you have done amazingly!! I look forward to seeing pics of you at target v soon xx

Ooh must try. What flavours can you do this with??

Hi all. As the subject says I'm restarting. I did well on s&s earlier in the year and then got in a rut of eating out, holidays and a miscarriage. I have decided I don't want to be approaching next Christmas in the same position as this year. I want to be happy and confident. Has much changed...

Hi everyone. I have joined sw tonight and I'm really excited!! I have done it before but many moons ago (before EE) so got to get my head around all the changes!!

Well done you skinny mini!! U look fab x

Phewwwwwww!!!!!!

Huge congratulations. This diet really is amazing. Before starting I hadn't had a period for 3-4 years. Now I get one monthly!! I did sadly miscarry too but I am on the right track. I wish you all the luck in the world hun xx

Bless you hun xx

Awwww cute. Mine: 1. New boss said im doing really well 2. Hubby gave me lots of cuddles 3. You guys being brill as ever xx

That sounds like a great idea. Will give it a go xx

Thanks hun. It's not that I don't want it either. Grrrr!!!!! x

I can't get my head straight!! I have all the packs and I'm ready to get going. I was doing so well on s&s then fell pregnant. I then suffered a miscarriage. I now can't get restarted. I have just started a new part time job working 8.30-2.30 and I am going without breakfast, snacks, lunch and...

I blended but no lumps in the pack xx

Ummm mine was smooth :/

I am gutted!! I LOVE oreo milkshakes! My favourite!! I ordered a sample of the new cookies & cream shake and I really don't like it!! It doesn't taste of cookies (imo) grrrrr!!!! glad i only purchased the sample!!!

We all need a rant. S&S is amazing. It's not easy at first so please dont give up. We all have blips but when u see the pounds falling off u will keep going xx

Well done Hun!!! Keep going xx

Another 1.5lbs today!! 9lbs since monday!!!

Haha I wish hun x

On its way!!!

Another 3.5 lbs off today!!!!

If nothing else we will be skinny and have spotless homes!!!

Well done!!!

Today I was meant to be meeting up with my friend but her baby is poorly. Normally I would have used this day at home to catch up on my sky + and veg out. Instead I picked one program while I had breakfast then whacked on the music channel and turned the volume up. I have spent the day cleaning...

Had some fanta orange zero in the fridge from a BBQ we had last week and last night went to pour a glass thinking it would be the same as coke zero but it isn't. So glad I checked. Now will check everything!!!

Jess I agree. When you think about it there are so many things. I'm going to Thorpe park in the summer hols with my nieces and nephews and can't wait now that I'm slimming down when I have given it a miss in recent years!!

Thanks hun x

4lb off in 24 hours!!!! Come on!!! xx

You are totally right!! Thanks x

I am with you on that!!!

Never having to think "is there a weight restriction?"

well done so far and I hope the last stone goes quickly!!

Have deleted and restarted.

Can't wait but hope they do the others suggested... i would love a carbonara one!!!

Wow!! You look amazing!! I bet your hubby loves it too. Have you done it purely on s&s? how long did it take to get to goal?? xx

Well done!! You could have gone crazy in that place!! (I would have found it hard not to order the oreo and baileys milkshake!!)

You can do it. I also have PCOS and hadn't had a TOM for 14 months!! After a month on s&s I got one out of the blue!! It was hard but stick with it x

I have been finding that if you do things like 20 x sit up, reverse ab crunches, press ups and leg raises then it helps to tone up the skin. Also try using some skin firming body cream (think garnier and palmers do some) xx

Hi everyone. Haven't been around for a bit. As some of you know I haven't been well since coming back from my hols in April. I tried restarting when I was well and it went nowhere so gave up after 2 days. After going back and forth to the doctors and hospitals I was told not to follow a tfvd...

Hi there. I exercise although it doesn't make any difference to the weight loss it does to me if that makes sense. I feel good for it and fitter. Plus I'm toning up while loosing weight. I sometimes have to ease off if feeling light headed but just drink lots of water.

I everyone, I haven't been on here for a while. Have had a tough few weeks and have been really poorly. I'm now on the mend and ready to get back on the wagon. I haven't fallen off but I have been eating what I want when I want it and have maintained my weight. I'm happy with that but keen to...

Congrats hun that's great xx

Hi all, hope everyone is ok. Well I'm back from my hols. I was very good and the result is a happy curvy_em!! After taking all your advice I decided against taking any packs with me. I stuck to the following everyday- ham, mushroom and onion omlette and a plate of melon for breakfast, salad and...

Thanks everyone. I'm not worried about the money etc but it's more the social thing of everyone else going for meals. I am going to take my bars and shakes with me though and drink lots of water and no alcohol!! I will be happy to come back at the same weight as I go. xxx

I everyone. I am going to Lanzarote on thursday morning for a week. It's All Inclusive and has been booked for about 8 months. I just wondered what you all recommend I do food wise. I want to enjoy myself but not ruin what I have already achieved. Any tips are much appreciated xx

Can you put me down for another 3lb please xxx

Hi everyone. Hope your doing ok. Great losses jess!! Just had my order come through today as love certain sachets more than others. Crazy about the chilli and spag bol lol Have my sister and her bf coming to stay tomorrow so need to be good. Got my holiday in a weeks time too!! All good though xx

I have been thinking this too. Didn't know if there was a website that works it out x

Today for the first time in years clothes shopping hasn't been a nightmare. I walked into shops and picked up things that I liked and not what was in my size. It was such a good feeling and now I can't wait for my holiday xx

Also lots of us use my fitness pal (mfp) on our smartphones as a good way of keeping track of our calories xx

Hi there and welcome!! My biggest tip is water!! Drink plenty of it!! You will quickly find which meals etc you like and which you don't. Stick with it! It does work xx

Good Luck xx

Thank you

I for one am proud that my eggs are still in the box and that is where they shall stay!!! xx

First weigh in 9lbs down. Very pleased with that. Got my holiday for a week on 19th so full steam ahead. How is everyone else doing ?? xx

Morning just weighed in. 9lb loss :))))))

I will give it away or just bin it. Having it in the house and knowing its mine is hard xx

It's horrible. I told everyone that I didn't want eggs and what do I get!!! Grrrrrrrr!!!!!

I have my first Personal Training session tomorrow morning since starting on s&s and I am really worried about it. My fear is not having the energy to do as much as I normally do. Does anyone else do anything similar on s&s??? xx

Hi and welcome. S&S is great!! Good luck!! x

Jess well done!!! That is fab!! I too am in the next stone bracket and feel so happy. I have also joined death breath united.... I am wearing smaller clothes which feels fab. I have spoken to Rob about cashback.. just about to send pics etc. Lottie how do you make the cookie??? xxx Im feeling...

jealousy is a horrible trait xx

I am glad this was posted. I am so cold. I am not a cold person, I am always a warm person- NEVER feel the cold or have cold hands. This morning I was shivering- and havent been able to warm up all day. in my pjs and hoody as i type under a blanket with the fire on!! x

Sounds like a good app. Will download it. If you don't mind me asking. What is your disability xx

Well done jessica rabbit!! I am thinking about doing the cash back too. Will get in touch with them now. Glad the weight is falling off... it is with me too!! Great to see isn't it xx

ok thanks

Hello, I thought I would update my thoughts on the products while I am working my way through the sample packs. Shakes: (I have had nothing but bad experiences with shakes in the past. I hate them powdery and that chalk like after taste. I like milkshakes like frijj or with ice cream!!!)...

Welcome Chelle- fingers crossed you are happy in 7 weeks time!! I know who you feel. I go away in two weeks tomorrow and wish I had started this sooner. Lindsay Its tough isn't it. I made bacon sandwiches for everyone on monday morning and ate the choc truffa bar whilst doing it which helped...

this is probably silly so im sorry in advance..... is coke zero different to diet coke???

Well done and lots of luck- water water water xx

Lottie That is great!! Keep it up xx Phoenyx- I am the same. I ordered the sample pack and gutted to only have one of everything but dont want to place my next order just yet as dont want to have stuff if i dont like it. xx

Hi Phatcat and welcome. I was diagnosed with PCOS over 3 years ago. I have been taken Metformin for over 2 years as I am trying for a baby. The metformin hasn't worked for me but it has for others. Once I have a BMI of below 35 the hospital will start me on clomid. For me I have never had acne...

Day 3 and feeling fab!! Juat had the lemon bar! Soooooo yummy!! Could have eaten 10!!! xx

Hi mojoglory, and welcome. Hope you are enjoying s&s. I don't have a disability but my oh does and many of our friends so if you want to talk then you know where i am xx

Just got back from my meal. V happy. Drank still water. Ate crab meat for starter. Then sea bass fillet grilled with grilled asparagus and tomatoes. No sauce!!!! Hope you have all had a great day xx

Add me curvy_em

How do you add someone ???

Press more then subscribed then it will have the posts in bold that have been replied to. Took me a while to work out lol xx

It's yummy isn't it xx

That's what I have done as out for my anniversary tonight. Got hold of the menu and picked my meal so I know in advance xx

Great that's a relief. Couldn't ask hubby to cancel as he booked it over 2 months ago to get us in. xx

That's great. Well after one day im 5lbs down. Going out tonight for my wedding anniversary to posh restaurant so no portions are tiny. Have called ahead and checked what's on the menu so having grilled sea bass with steamed veg. Hoping if I stick to plan all day it should be ok...??

Anyone else weighed themselves early??? xx

Thank you xx

Looking forward to trying it xx

It's called starting plan on 30th march xx

how was the mac and cheese???

Well done that's fab. Did you enjoy week one???

Omg just had the spicy spag and it was amazing. I would have that EVERYDAY if I could. Nice kick to it. Need my water to cool down the fire in my mouth lol xx

My fitness pal Quick question. It measures water in cups. How many ml or lt in a cup?? Also if anyone else is on my fitness pal I am curvy_em Xx

That's great that you didn't even notice you had gone up another flight of stairs. Xx

Feeling a tad hungry whilst in town. Walked past thorntons and could smell the chocolate plus someone outside giving free samples. Said no and walked on. Walked through m&s, picked oh up a fuller for longer ready meal and myself a bottle of water. Not feeling hungry now sipping on that. Didn't...

Just tried the mushroom soup. Was nice - had low expectations so am happy xx

Trying to decide what to have for lunch- think it will be a soup and maybe chilli for tea as OH have spag bol for tea!!

Good luck for when you do start xx

I carry a 750ml water bottle with me at all times and when its empty I refill- i also keep a stock in the fridge as I like it ice cold xx

Just had the truffa bar for breakfast. Lovely and tastes like a brownie. V dense though and took ages to eat :)

Wow amazing. How do you feel?? What have been your fave meals xx

haha that must have been a lovely feeling. I have just had my grandparents come to stay and they couldn't stop saying how good I looked and that's after 19lbs so hoping to do another 2 stone by may. xx

Don't think you can have any fizzy drinks. Might be wrong though. My mini goal is that I'm going on holiday in 3 weeks and want to be a size 16 bikini!! Then I have a christening on 13may in Devon and my parents etc haven't seen me since new year. They know about my weight loss but I want to...

Day one meal one ...... All or nothing!!! xx

stay strong xx

I have done it but it's hard. I lost 8lbs but it was expensive, the extra things like spirulina werent worthwhile. The good thing is I now have a juicer which I use a lot. Would I do it again? Nope xx

I find it helps when you hit a wall or feel like giving up to remember why you wanted to start in the first place and how happy you were when you lost a bit of weight xx

What did you have?? How was it xx

Hiya, how are you doing?? What have you eaten today?? How did you find it x

If your starting plan this weekend then lets help each other get to our goal xx

Of course not. I will make a thread for us starting this weekend. Will be good to have each other in the same boat. How are you finding it ??

I want to loose at least 3 stone really. I will be happy with 2 though. Yeah it's good to start the same day as someone else. I'm just heading home from London so my pack should be waiting for me. How much do you want to loose??? xx

Thats great.. I am starting Sunday as have family staying! Its always good to start around the same time as someone else.... if everyone else is a couple months in it can be a bit like your playing catch up xx

Just curious as to when you guys had your lightbulb moment. what made you think that now is the time and s&s was the way to go. For me it was going to the doctors back at Xmas after 3 years of TTC with PCOS. My consultant told me that in order to be put on clomid I would need to have a BMI of...

When are you starting?? My first pack comes tomorrow, have my grandparents coming to stay for the weekend so I am gonna start sunday so no distractions....

Oh dear I feel sorry for my hubby next week when I start....

I can't wait for my delivery to come tomorrow - enjoy xx

I cant wait to try that one xx

Haha love that about the 50p breath spray.... is it really that bad??? xx

well done on the 6 stones!! thats great!!

I placed my order today at around 12 ish and it will be here tomorrow by 6pm- there was an option for saturday delievery but i think it was about £20

Loads of great tips- thanks everyone x

That's AMAZING!!! I hope I have as good a 1st week as you xx

I have a personal training session once a week- I started walking on the treadmill now I run- i also use the cross trainer, and weights machines like inner and outer thigh, lat pull down, chest press, leg press etc then I do 20 x push ups, sit ups, reverse crunches, left then right leg raises...

Ahhhh sounds great.... to great?!

Thanks guys x

Thank you!! You do all seem so lovely :) x

I'm glad you asked. I have been having PT sessions once a week since the start of the new year and love them so don't really want to stop. I think I will stop my other 3 gym sessions for now and maybe add them back in slowly.

Hi all. I have just placed my first order a new moments ago. I have ordered the pack with everything in so I can decide what I like. In the past I have tried maxitone sculptress and slim fast and not liked them. The shakes just taste to powdery! I'm praying this will be different.. i'm not fussy...

I'm sorry if a similar thread already exists. I am curious to know what everyones favourite soups, shakes and meals are??

Wow your all doing amazingly well. I can't wait to get going on it :)

Hi all, Have been reading up on S&S this evening and it sounds great. What kind of success have people been having and in what time scale?

LT is Lipotrim - how have you lost 24lbs in 2 weeks??

Hi all. I am new to this site. I have PCOS and have been TTC for over 3 years. Have been on Metformin formost of those 3 years. I am slimming down in order to get pregnant. I have lost a stone in the past 2 months through healthy eating, drinking water and lots of exercise. I have tried SW in...
