Well, I had my 3rd weigh in yesterday (started week 4 today) and I am down 20lbs and have also lost 5 inches off my waist. I’m buzzing, because I have had a cheat meal (dirty kebab, sorry) every Saturday.

Thank you. My weigh in is Tuesday next week. This weekend has been tough... temptation everywhere I look arghhhhh and tonight I seem to have insomnia. Hope it passes soon.

Hello everyone. I too am also a CWP returner. Started the diet again on Wed this week with a SW of 15.7 (arghhhh) and currently on day 4. I had a sneaky weigh this morning and showing a 10lb loss. Hope I can join you all for the ride. Good luck

??? you're photos look fab. Day 3 and the scales are showing an 8lb loss

I'm in Gateshead too... This is day two for me :)

Thank you Gina... I'm determined this time and will definitely use this forum to motivate and keep on track. There are some great success stories

Hey, hope it's ok to join this thread. Just coming up to the end of day 1 on SS and feeling good :)

Keep focused. It will be worth it in the end :D i did an unofficial WI this morning (day 5) and down 9lbs. I'm buzzing

Day 4 and going well :) how about you

Good luck :)

Love this

I'm getting a little bit addicted. Been on here since I got home from work

Sorry Jackie you already told me how far you have to go. I've read that many posts. I'm getting mixed up... Eeek :D

Well done Jackie... We can do this :) do you have far to go? I'm counting down the days until April Day 2 is going well for me. I have a tetra left for this evening then think ill occupy myself with a book or some work

I've got 42 banana tetras for my first two weeks. They are the only things I like. Remind me of the foam banana sweets lol

Well done Sarah :D I'm not getting weighed week one. Instead I'll get weighed every two weeks. I'm hoping for 8-10lbs every two weeks. Fingers crossed.

Stay strong. It will pass :D Once you have weigh in tomorrow and see your losses this will spur you on. x

Keep going you are doing great x

I'm sure we will get there. We are starting at similar weights. I'm 14st 11lbs, 5ft 8 and turn 40 in July. I think I'd be happy at 12, but lets wait and see once we get there. My day 1 is almost over and feeling good. How about you x

One word AMAZING

Thanks MrsP. I suddenly have all this extra time on my hands now! I've been to work, walked the dogs. Now what to do? Might design myself a nice little progress tracker in excel :D I don't have my weigh in for two weeks an cant wait for the results x

Could you add me too please. I'm on day 1 and looking at 16lbs by the end of Jan x

Hello Jackie. I don't mind being a buddy and pushing you along :) on one condition, you push me back. What's your start and target weight?

Day 1 am I'm feeling fine :) yay I think evenings and weekends will be the worst for me, but I'll keep glugging the water x

My start weight is 14'11 and I want to get down to 12 as a start then take it from there :) Speak soon and good luck tomorrow

Ha ha watch out for the crumbs. Yeah I start tomorrow too. I picked up my supplies on Saturday, but im always a monday starter! We can start this journey together. What's your start and target weight?

I've just done the same Char. Kind of like 'the last supper' :D

I'm just reading about the soups etc. I have 42 banana tetras for the next two weeks eek Hope I don't turn yellow!

Sounds like a plan :D

Hey Donna. I didn't do too bad first time, just hope I'm able to do it this time round. When is your weigh in? I'm doing mine every two weeks Good luck x

UK version of Chips :)

Oops height 5ft8

This seems like a pretty active thread. Mind if I join? This is my 2nd time back and start tomorrow. Last time worked really well but after hols etc I thought I could do it myself. I've only gained 3lbs since my last CD weigh in and that was maybe June this year, but I'm now determined to shed...

The porridge is vile 'gags'

Hello everyone, I start on 07/01 and will be doing SS for 12 weeks. I have approx 42lbs to lose so hopefully I'll reach target by the end of the 12 weeks. Start weight 14.11lbs. I'd be happy to reach 12 stone. Do you think that's achievable in 12 weeks? Good luck everyone x

I really like the sound of what you are doing. Please be sure to keep us posted as I might do a similar thing :)

Believe me it'll come and everyone will start noticing!

We start may in (tick tock tock tock) 15 minutes Good luck everyone

It's a nightmare isn't it! Think I'll do the same as you and stick to protein Not sure if I can pass on the alcohol though :) Still going to try my hardest for July, but I guess it's not the end of the world If it took an extra month or so Thanks again

Why do you need to be out of it 3 days before alcohol?

I was thinking maybe just eating meat. It's alcohol that worries me though!!!

Just finished week 4 and have lost just over 1.5 stones doing a mixture of SS and SS+ with a couple of blips I have maybe another 2 to 2.5 to go and I'll be happy. My aim was to get to target by beginning of July. However I'm worried I might not make it as have 2 holidays coming up Holiday 1 to...

I am :)

Please add me Current weight 14'5 and May goal is 10lbs

How bizarre. I was just clicking through twitter, saw a retweet and thought. That face is familiar from somewhere and i just realised familiar from here and it is you!!! How strange is that?

That's absolutely amazing Nicci Do you mind if I ask what your start weight was and what is your target I'm day 2 of week 4 and just shy of the 1 stone 7lb mark. I have gone off the rails a cple of times too and I'm doing SS+ I must get back to just SS x Well done again. Very impressive

Excellent.. What's your total loss nicci

You have me intrigued :p

Thanks I'll have a little look as went off the rails yesterday

What's the app called Nicci x

Ha ha this made me laugh I bet you feel better for not having it

Don't let them get to you. It'll soon be old news Probably an element of jealousy

I feel the same about the porridge... Vile

Might try having two lol

I've been doing ss+ every day since week two and having good losses. Going 100% SS next week though as want quicker results :)

Is there a reason why we can't have two bars?

Lol it's mad isn't it What's strawberry mousse? Does it come in banana hee hee

My entire diet consists of banana tetras. Hmmm I might get bored soon

Believe it or not i got the comments from overweight people. I only have 3 stone to lose (make that one and a half now) whereas they are bigger and probably could do with a good 5 stone off Meowwwwwww

Apologies for the spelling mistakes. Fat fingers on the iPhone!!! He he

I had some criticism today from a couple of work colleagues. Snide comments such as 'why will happen when you get to target weight' will you put it all back on '4 liters of water per day' that's not good for you, you will drown yourself I just rolled my eyes!!

Day 1 of week number 3 (also my 2nd weigh in) -5lbs and I was SS+ all last week

Ha ha that's very true

Porridge is vile. Just the thought makes me gag

3 stone in 10 weeks? That's amazing Were you 100% SS or did you SS+ also?

Carleen king prawns with chilli powder sprinkled on is delicious. I had this with green beans last night mmm mmm

I'm telling anyone who will listen ha ha My workmates, fiends, family and partner are rather great :)

I'm not hugely into soft drinks but the water gets a bit much. I can drink the water but I sometimes forget when I'm at work

I've got my Wii out and have been playing boxing. You really work up a sweat!!!

How much are you losing each week? I've been having some SS+ and currently in week 2

Can you really drink coke zero on Cambridge?

I think the soups and porridge are vile!! Shakes all the way here plus the odd SS+ meal when needed :)

Good luck

Claireybell your start weight is exactly the same as me. I started week 2 today after losing almost a stone last week I would love to get to 12 stone and hope to do this by end of June. Do you think it's do-able

Pleased I can be of some help Nicci :) Have you started CD? What's your start and target weight? I'm feeling really motivated today and looking through a whole pile of clothes that will fit me soon Enjoy the wii. I did just dance the other and had to lie down ha ha

I'm getting there with the posts supergran :)

Thanks Carleen :)

Ha ha tell me about it. I've been on my own scales every day. It's becoming addictive! But it's great seeing the dirty lbs vanishing

I've been up and down but think I'm getting there had my first WI yesterday and I'd lost 12lbs Not bad going in a week. Plus I've also had some SS+ days too Good luck and keep focused :)

Thanks everhopeful. It hasn't been easy :( and I've come close to quitting, but I keep looking ahead x

Day 6 and 7 OMG day 6 was so so tough and i was climbing the walls thinking of food - I kept glugging water and its hello day 7 Day 7 I wasnt supposed to see my CDC until next Sunday, however i needed to meet up to swap the porridges and soups for shakes - I really cannot stomach them and...

Week 1 12lbs :)

Hows it going Emmalou

Thats a brilliant loss Tomorrow i start weerk 2 Good luck

Supergran i don't think i've posted enough to have the privilege to pick up pm's :( I'll post more!!!

Amazing thread :)

Hey Charlie At first WI (that was Sunday just gone) I was 15'9 I weighed myself (a week later and 6 days after starting) this morning and I am 14'11 whoop I'd love to get to 12 and see how I feel from there Good luck with you're losses

Charlie what weight did you start at and where do you want to be?

Lol I know. My friend asked me If I would like to do something over the weekend, I responded 'if it involves drinking or eating no' so tomorrow I'm heading to the countryside with the dogs, my shake and plenty of water Here's hoping for nice weather

This is my first weekend and I just want it to be over!! 4 days off work and I'd rather be in the office, that's definitely a first for me I'm being positive and instead of looking at this as some kind of torture I'm putting myself, I am telling myself it's my choice and I can eat if I like but...

Designed myself a nice little tracker in excel if anyone is interested in it Let me know and i can email you a copy

Hey the very best of luck Be sure to keep us posted on your progress

That's amazing and also inspiring. Are you strictly SS? I started on Monday. I find it easy when I'm at work, but today has been a nightmare. You don't realise how much you plan your life around food! I've switched to SS+ as really wanted some bite Ive started at 15,9 and want to get to 12...

Hey Krissykat. What weight did you start at and how long did it take you to get to where you currently are :)

Day 5 Im off work until Tuesday now but still awoke at 6am. I think it's the water waking me so early. This week I have awoken every day desperate to pee at stupid o clock After doing SS+ yesterday I feel a million times better and even more determined to see this through I'll stick to SS the...

Day 4 and about to approach the long Easter break Felt absolutely fine today and to be honest I'm finding this easy to do when at work as I rarely ever take a lunch break! The struggle today is when I got home this evening. Hunger didn't strike but I just feel like I want something tasty (even a...

Day 3 Awoke without the ghastly headache I had most of yesterday (yay) and guess what? I don't feel at all hungry In the past the first thing I'd think of when I awoke would be cigarettes (when I smoked) only to be replaced by food once I quit smoking I truly believe I'm going to do this and...

How are you finding it

Good luck emmalou I'm on day two and feeling very motivated

I know I shouldn't but I weighed myself today (day 2) and already have lost 4lbs... Whoop Only 36lbs to go

Day 2 I awoke with a splitting headache this morning and also feel like I have cold symptoms (guessing this is part of the diet and my body going into some kind of shock) I couldn't face porridge for breakfast do I've had a shake instead. Think I'll swap all of the porridge and soup for shakes...

Thanks for all of the positive messages ladies :) Its good to have support When people talk about how much they've lost I find it very motivating

That sounds like a brilliant idea. Think I'll do the same :) how long do you think it'll take me to lose 3 stone?

What's tetra?

Ps I'm not keen on anything I've tasted so far, but my heads in the right place and I'm determined to be happy once again

I'll definitely keep you posted. Going to start my own diary tonight and take a photograph every day to track progress. Every day might seem a little extreme I know, but as I'm not cooking, eating or drinking I have all this extra time on my hands :)

Ok so I started today Breakfast - porridge Lunch - banana shake I've just got home from work and I am starving, however think I'll keep the soup until later (hope I like it) Does it get easier? I felt fine all day at work, but now that I am home I am feeling restless and don't know what to do...

Thanks Nina

That's fantastic. It's like a stone every 4 weeks :)

I look forward to following you're progress 11lbs in 1 week is impressive

Thanks supergran. Maybe we could be buddies and help each other if things get tough I can't wait to see results

Thanks Dani34. How long did it take you to get to 13.5?

Hello everyone After years of battling with my weight I decided its time to finally do something about it. Ive been really unhappy for the past 12 months and feel it's time to take charge of my appearance and shed the excess lbs I am 5'8" and currently weigh 15.9. My first goal is to get to 12...
