I think its definitely a case of finding something that works for you. I thought I'd tried everything in the book - Weight Watchers, Herbalife, hiring a personal trainer, XLS medical booster tablets, the lot. Then I found Secret Diet Drops in June and they've changed everything for me! Its a...

I agree with the above. Distraction definitely helps. I usually go out for a walk (without my purse so I'm not tempted to go into a shop) to get away from the kitchen and walk the cravings off. A lot of the time hunger pangs are mistaken for dehydration and your actually thirsty, not hungry, so...

Two things that helped me successfully lose weight were watching my carb intake and eating a bigger meal in the morning. I'm on a very low cal diet at the moment, but when I'm not on it, I'd eat a large breakfast. Maybe a mushroom omelette or scrambled egg on toast with some fruit. I stopped...

My favourites are River Island, Topshop, H&M, Miss Selfridge and Oasis :) River Island have some beautiful summery floral dresses at the minute!

I feel like I'm never online :( Not much to report, only that I've gone from 13st 0lb to 11st 9lb in the last 10 days, using secret diet drops. Finding them absolutely fantastic and not at all hungry on them :) Hope you are all well xx

Well, my OH and I ended up splitting up. It was the right decision, we're amicable and that's the best I can hope for. The break up is the reason I've been MIA for so long. He wasn't happy about the break up and has been trying to get me to give him another chance since but I think this is for...

Thanks for the support, @tylar :D Things didn't go too great on our trip away, I really feel like it might be the end for my OH and I :( I feel really helpless, like nothing I can do will help. On the upside, I've got my first Herbalife meeting tomorrow night! Starting the shakes and tablets...

Off to Liverpool with the boyfriend tomorrow for 4 days. Haven't had much of an appetite the last couple of days. I don't plan on dieting over there but I will watch what I eat. Think this may be a make or break trip for us :( We're not getting on well at all the last while and I'm losing faith...

I like this thread. I'm ill this week, just a nasty flu but I'm feeling very sorry for myself all the same. All I want to do is sleep! Also my little house is quite a mess atm but I really don't feel like cleaning so it'll have to wait till tomorrow now :) No snow where I am, I'm jealous!

It does both. I look back at pics of me in size 6 shorts and little tops and get seriously motivated to look like that again. I vow to not eat another bar of chocolate till I lose at least 4 stone and to go for a run every morning. Then, the more pics I look at, the worse I feel about myself, so...

I'm trying to lose weight at uni too. Its the drinking that's my problem - Not that I drink a lot of alcohol but when I do, the first thing I reach for is the crisps and I always get pizza or McDonalds on the way home after! The big greasy fry up the next morning for the hangover cure doesn't...

Feeling very motivated about starting, I really feel like its going to work this time. Hoping the motivation continues! Boyfriend isn't too happy about me dieting but I told him to stuff it. When we first met I was a size 6-8, and he knows how unhappy I am now at at size 14. I appreciate that he...

Thanks ladies :) Could I realistically expect to lose 3 stone between now and July on it if I stick to it fairly rigidly? Do you find yourself hungry on it? Are the shakes nice? Sorry for all the questions x

Sorry your evening didn't go to plan! Is it snowing where you live? xx

Sounds like your just having one of those days :( I'm having one myself, feeling very tired and icky and want nothing better than to sleep for a week! Its days that this that make me lose my motivation lol. Hope your feeling better xx

Hi Laura, I'm Lucy :) Congratulations on your weight loss so far! Hope it continues for you xx

Hiya hun, congrats on your weight loss so far, your doing fabulous! We're of similar age and I'm also Irish :) Best of luck for this week, hope the weight loss continues and the walking gets easier :) I'm Lucy by the way xx

I'm starting on the 28th and very excited about it. I heard about it through a friend. She didn't have a huge amount of weight to lose, she wanted to get from 10st to 9st and she did it with Herbalife in just over 6 weeks. She said she didn't rigidly stick to it and she wasn't hungry so I'm...

I haven't updated this in so long. Makes me very sad to see how motivated I was in July, knowing I haven't lost a single lb since then and very likely have gained at least half a stone. I can't be sure, I haven't weighed myself since October as I'm too afraid of what the scales will say...

I love them! I have two tattoos, a quote that is very personal to me along the side of my foot, and a gorgeous little bow/ribbon on my wrist. Piercing wise I have my tongue, lobes, tragus, surface tragus (same ear as tragus), belly, and nipple pierced and I'm probably getting my industrial...

My diet was rubbish yesterday! I'm really just not hungry in the mornings/afternoons, which leads to pig outs at night! Yesterday I had: 1 x big slice of apple cake (doh! Thankfully its nearly gone so the temptation won't be around much longer) Lots of tortilla crisps 6 x slices of wholemeal...

Its crazy, it seems to be something that happens to a lot of people! One of my friends warned me before I started to beware of freshers pounds, as they call it..I wish I'd listened now! I can put on weight just by looking at something yummy, but losing it is so difficult! Being in uni makes it...

No exercise today as I took a day off, diet was okay. I had: 1 x home made iced bun, made by my mum, couldn't resist! 1 x breast of home seasoned cajun chicken 1 x ciabbata bread roll, with a little butter 1 x small portion of grated cheese 1 x large salad with red/yellow/green peppers...

I'm starting the discovery plan today. No real reason apart from the fact that I can't afford to rejoin WW to get the PP plan, and I've also heard bad things about PP, so I'd rather stick to Discovery.

My next goal is to lose 10 pounds by August 18th. I've lost 1lb already, 9lb to go!

That salad looks delicious, I'm definitely going to try it :D

So today was my first day back at the gym since before my holiday. In total, its been three weeks since my last workout. The personal trainer weighed me, and I've somehow managed to lose a pound. I defo thought I'd have put on weight what with all the drinking on holiday and I haven't followed...

Having just come back from a foreign holiday having once again been the fatty of the group, I'm more determined that ever. My mate brought a camera, took well over 500 pics over the course of the week and I'm not in a single one of them because I looked like a whale. Definitely the kick up the...

I haven't posted here in ages! I've just returned from my holidays, only managed to lost half a stone before I went, which I mostly put back on while I was there :( Kick starting a new plan now though, I think its only realistic if I start dieting and exercising again asap before I get out of...

I haven't updated in ages! So Monday I joined a gym and hired a personal trainer. I love it so far, though I'm in absolute agony from exercising. I went to a spinning class last night and could barely move this morning but getting up and going to the gym again was worth it. Diet wise, I'm not...

Hi Ladies :) I'm not exactly new but having half heartedly followed a loose diet for the last month I have just weighed myself to find I have put on 7 pounds in the space of a fortnight, bringing my weight up to 13 stone. I had been doing low calorie/WW before, but I don't feel its really...

I know I've been missing for a while but I hope I can still post. Have just weighed myself - 13 STONE!!!!!!! What the hell? I'm supposed to be losing weight, instead I put on 7 pounds? I'm totally freaking out. Disgusted with myself, really. Never been so repulsed in my life..I cannot believe I...

I'm starting in about ten minutes, I'll let you know how I get on! I'm preparing to fail though, I can see myself quitting :(

Won't be starting or a while, fell last week and cracked my coccyx bone in my back :( Good luck girls!

I'll be working more hours during the Summer than I am now, I'm definitely going to look into it. Thank you :) Diet is going well this week, but I took a really bad fall yesterday and I'm now bedridden. Was walking into town with the boyfriend and I slipped in the rain. Damn ugg boots! Was sent...

I only had that many because I did absolutely f all for the Easter break, lol :) Where are you in college, if you don't mind me asking? Lipotrim sounds fab but I've heard its really expensive :( How much is it? I blame the student night outs, cheap drink and food afterwards is a killer!

Waiting is fine, I'm not exactly in a rush to start! :)

I haven't started yet either but I'll do it tomorrow when I have the house to myself :)

Thanks for the vote of confidence, Shikei85. Its so hard. I've had an absolutely awful week. I didn't realise I had so much college work to for this week, so I've been running on 2-3hours sleep since Sunday and the diet went out the window. On Monday I had to hand in a 1,400 word essay, Tuesday...

Today I wore skinny jeans with a bottle green tank top, white cardigan and white pumps. My clothes are so boring.

My boyfriend and I are in Uni and live in student accommodation, with another couple so clearing the lounge will be hard when it isn't just our house. Thankfully I'm finished Uni in two more weeks so we'll get our own place than. I might do it in my mums house in the meantime, actually, I don't...

Today I've had: 5 x cream crackers 12 grapes 1 x medium baked potato with 1/2 cup of baked beans and a little butter Home made brown wholemeal scone with butter and jam (eek) I'm kind of hungry now as I've been pretty much grazing all day but I'm not sure what to make. Still gutted that I...

Me too, I can't do those at all! I've done little or no exercise so far, and my fitness freak aunty keeps telling me I won't lose an ounce until I start moving more..Hope I can stick to this :D

I know I'm only on day three but I've just weighed myself and I've not lost a single ounce :( I'm not letting it demotivate me, though. I just thought a few days of being good might pay off. I ended up being a bit naughty last night which I feel guilty about now :( Updated version of that I ate...

Well done! What plan are you following? :D That's an amazing start, you should be very proud :)

I'm still using the old points system so I'm no help at all, sorry hon.

Hi, I'm also starting soon. Hoping I see some results as I'm a little sceptical but wanted to give it a try. Good luck! Update us with your progress :) x

You too hun, I look forward to reading about your progress!

I'm sorry you've been so ill, best of luck with your diet and hopefully this'll be the last time you ever go on a diet :) Your meals look really good!

I think it might be the caffeine I'm addicted to? Is it the caffeine for you, or the sweet taste? I've been the same, my sleeping pattern is all over the place since my OH started working nights, I don't sleep until he comes home which is usually between 4-6am :( I'm running on about 2hrs sleep...

Best of luck TTC and with your diet, hope it works out for you :)

Your meals look really good, I'm hoping to start SF soon. Best of luck!

My problem is that I feel like I'm cheating if I do have it, even if its within my points or calorie quota, because mentally I class it as naughty! I haven't caved yet, but its getting tough..

Hi everyone, I'm currently following the WW plan but bought some chocolate flavoured SF yesterday. I'm wondering, does it actually fill you up, or is it like drinking water, ie, you'll still be hungry? I'm reluctant to try it because I'm afraid that I'll have a 230cal shake, still feel hungry...

I'm now in bed in my pyjamas, but today I wore black leggings with a cream lace long top (covering the camel toe ;)), brown cardigan and brown patent pumps. I really need new clothes but I keep telling myself to wait until I've lost a bit of weight!

I'm doing a few different plans mixed together at the moment so this is the only place I could think of posting this. How bad are fizzy drinks, really? I'm quite addicted to them, I used to drink them every day before my diet started and I'm really beginning to crave them now. I know I'll be...

I feel like this too! Trying to avoid eating atm but I'm absolutely starving. Just took some bikini photos to motivate myself and its worked, I don't want to eat any more for the evening but I wish the hunger would go away.

So those are photos I took today wearing one of last years bikinis, which doesn't really fit me properly any more. Feeling really motivated today! I don't want to look like this any more. Have had a good day diet wise, but once again, no exercise. I just don't have the time. I really must do...

I'll be more motivated to do it if there are a few of us :) Looking forward to starting :)

I bought a big tub of the chocolate shake today at my local Boots for €9.99, which I'd imagine would cost around £5.99 or so. Not tried it yet but it sounds promising!

I'm going to be doing the 30 day shred exercise video and lots of walking, between uni, work and trying to run a home I don't have time for anything else. I'm not sure if this is enough/not enough though, so I'm hoping someone more experienced will be able to contribute better than me :)

Hi, welcome, you're going to love it here :) Best of luck with your weight loss journey :)

I hope I can stay motivated long enough to see some actual differences! It'll be really useful for me because besides walking, I don't have time to do very much exercise. It looks so intense though, and I'm quite unfit..:o

Thanks for sharing your experiences, girls. Hoping I can do it too! :)

Thank you for the support and advice, ladies :) Well, today was my first proper day of strict dieting. It went quite well, though I'm disappointed I didn't get to do any exercise apart from walking around the shops! I've decided to give Slim Fast a try to see if I can dramatically shift half a...

Thank you for welcoming me, I really appreciate it. It'd be nice to have a buddy trying to lose the same amount of weight as me. Be sure to PM me if you need any support. :) I'd like to make friends here :) x

I'd like to be 12 stone by next weekend..Its very unlikely, but I'm hoping.

I agree that its fine so long as it fits in your limit. The only thing I'd be weary of is fat content but otherwise I think you should be fine :)

Hi ladies :) I'm currently setting my goals for the next few months and my aim is to lose 35lb by mid-July. I currently weigh 12.5 stone and am aiming for 10st. I'm 5'6 and take a UK size 14-16 but I'm told I can carry it well. I'll be doing SlimFast to kickstart my weight loss, followed by WW...

Sounds like a bargain. Hope it gets here soon! Looking forward to starting, I'm feeling really motivated :) Do you know anyone that's tried it?

Great, let me know when you get it and we'll start. I'm looking forward to it, I work all hours (hence I'm up so late) so joining clubs and classes aren't doable for me. The video makes exercising really independent :)

Its such a horrible feeling! I mean, its not like I'm annoyed they get more attention that me. I just don't want to be invisible any more. I just feel so awkward around them when we're out because I can see men drooling over them and I'm just seen as the fat friend!

I'm up for trying it, it looks really intense! :) Shall we start tomorrow? :D

Can I join please? I'm currently 175lb, hoping to lose 35lb by July :) x

I'm actually really interested in trying this, I've heard good things but I don't know much about it? The videos are on youtube so I'll probably do it from there rather than buying the dvd, though :)

Hi everyone :) I've just found this forum and I'm hoping it'll motivate me to lose weight for the last time. I'm Lucy, and I'm almost 21yrs old. I have a lovely boyfriend who I live with who I've been with for 3 years. I'm a full time university student and I work part time at the weekends...

Beauty and the Beast, I was a little bit obsessed with it!

The last film I saw was "The Hunger Games", I thought it was really good!

Bread, pasta, potatoes, bad carbs in general. Also, cheese, I put it on everything!

Visually fitting in with my friends. We've been friends for years, since we were small children. Mentally, we're all on the same page. But physically, they're all super tall (I know I'll never achieve this, lol) blonde, and really skinny. A few of them even do modelling. Of course, they don't...

Having someone refer to me as "the fat one" in my group of friends on a night out. Because I'm going on holiday in July with three of my friends, who are respectively size 6, size 6, and size 8. And because I'm sick of having to wear clothes I don't even like and I want to wear the pretty...

I'm currently 12 stone 5lb, and my goal is 10 stone. I'd hopefully like to be 11 stone when I go on holidays in July, hopefully I can do it! I'm currently a size UK14-16 and would like to be a size 12 on bottom and a 10 on top!

I've put on weight since I went on the pill but I'm unsure if my weight gain is because of the pill, if you know what I mean. I've gained since I've gone on it. I was on Dianette but I'm now on Yasmin.

I weigh 12.5 stone (175lb) and wear a UK 14-16. I'm about 5'7 and I'm a 34G bra size, if that means anything to you. When I was 9 stone, I was a size 8 on bottom and a 6 on top. Hope that helps :)

I carry a 500ml bottle everywhere with me. My boyfriend finds it hilarious because I even carry it around the house from room to room with me. I've heard that people who don't like water find cooled down boiled water from the kettle more pleasant, but I've never tried it myself. Good luck!

Hi Everyone. I'm Lucy, I'm 20 and I'm here to get advice and support to lose weight. I'm 12.6 stone (UK size 16), and hoping to lose a minimum 2 stone. I was slim my whole life until I gave up dancing aged 17 and its just piled on since then. Going on holiday in July so hoping to have lost a...
