I had a period that lasted nearly 2 months so I decided to come off it :sigh: How are you finding weight watchers downsizeme? I've always been a slimming world girl but I've read about the pro points thing and I'm going to join up after xmas. I'm not taking the tablets at the moment. I got...

I had my weigh in this morning and I have stayed the same. I don't really know where I'm going wrong because I'm always under my calorie allowance of 1400cals. I'm not worrying myself about it because after xmas I'm joining weight watchers and I know that a proper structured plan will get me...

I went to the Doctors yesterday and I'm going to stop taking my mini pill. Hopefully my periods will go back to normal soon and I think the gain must have been to do with that. The nurse also gave me another prescription of xenical even though I've got 2 weeks left, so that will see me through...

I'm on my phone because the website was being funny on my laptop for some reason. I've had a good day today. I've done hours of walking and I haven't had any snacks. I think the reason for my 1lb gain this week might be to do with totm. I'm going to go to the doctors on Monday because since...

Wow you really are giving it everything, well done! Have you took your measurements yet to see how many inches you've lost from doing it?

Well the weigh in didn't go very well, I put on 1lb :-( I don't know why because I've stuck to the diet 100%. I log my food in everyday on myfitnesspal and I'm always under my 1400cal daily allowance. The only thing I can think of is that I wasn't drinking enough water the days before my weigh...

I've been out all day today and done lots of walking. I forgot to take my tablets with me but I had a low fat sandwich for lunch so I'm hoping that it will be ok. It's my weigh in day tomorow, I had a sneaky peek on Friday and I was down 2lbs so I'm hoping for a good loss this week. Todays...

Well done hun! Can you notice yourself that you've lost the weight? Do you feel different? I've had a few people tell me they can see I've lost weight but I can't really see it myself. xx

Cheers hun, I am trying but I know I could do better exercise wise. Yesterday I only had a sainsburys bgty wrap and a weight watchers meal when I came home so today I've been hungry all day. I find that if I don't eat much one day the next day I'm starving all day. Todays food Breakfast 2...

Hey hun, good to see you're getting into the swing of things with xenical :-) Well done on the 13lbs, that's a great start. Have you decided if you're going to do cd until your party or are you going to stick with xenical? xx

I haven't done any exercise today. I've been out all day and then when I came back I picked my daughter up then made her dinner and took her to her school disco. I did do lot's of walking so I suppose that must count as something. When I came back from the disco I was too tired and I'm going to...

Well done! :clap::clap:

6lb is a good loss, that's nearly half a stone. They say it's better to lose weight slowly because it means you're more likely to keep it off. xx

It feels great doesn't it. I'm going to have to sort my room out because there's piles of clothes from size 14 to 22. I'm going to put them in size order and once I move down a size I'll give the big clothes to charity shops. I don't want to be able to fit into them again! I've had a really...

Hey hun how are you feeling today? I know it's so hard to carry on when you just want to give up but I think you will feel a bit better if you lose just a little more weight. I think it will spur you on some more. I know that's what has happened with me. Usually I lose a stone then lose...

Well done! Almost half a stone in one week, you must be so chuffed!

It feels like I haven't stopped today. I was cleaning the house top to bottom earlier and then my 4 year old daughter had her friends over for dinner. I'm too tired to get on my bike tonight but I think my cleaning spree earlier must count as some exercise :-) I tried on some old trousers today...

I've had a good day today. I'm starting to feel alot more positive recently and I think my post natal depression is getting better. I'm definately going to start my exercise regime tomorow. Today I was really busy running lot's of errands so hopefully I burnt off some calories. Todays food...

I wondered where the rule came from. The doctors are pretty useless about giving you information on how to take them. It's a shame they don't offer that service anymore, or at least put some more information in the leaflet that comes with the tablets. I wouldn't have known anything without this...

I've never had side effects because I've always stuck to the diet 100% while on these tablets. I don't see how having a sprinkle of low fat cheese is cheating or being naughty when the whole meal is still under 5% fat. Also I don't know where this 5% rule came from. It doesn't say anything about...

Well done bunny! The weight is dropping off you, you must be so chuffed! xx

Hey hun I replied to you on my diary and from reading your diary I don't think you're eating enough. Have you looked at myfitnesspal? It's free to use and it tells you how many calories you should be eating. It also has a food tracker, you can put what food you've eaten in and it tells you how...

Aww hun maybe you're not eating enough. If you eat too few calories then your body goes into starvation mode and then it holds onto the fat. Look in peoples diarys for ideas of meals. I think it makes the diet easier if you're not eating the same food all the time. I would definately be...

I had a bit of a wierd dinner today because I need to go shopping, I did enjoy it though. I'm really happy that I haven't had any side effects today, yesterdays cottage pie had low fat cheddar on and I haven't suffered with anything so that will be a new addition to my diet :-) I'm having...

I've tried low fat cheese this weekend with no side affects so I think it is 5% of the meal. xx

I think it should be ok. I've been having lean ham with no side affects. xx

Aww hun I know exactly how you feel. I stayed the same on my weigh in this week and I've also got my monthly so that's what I'm putting it down to. Try not to get disheartened because you're doing well on the diet and you'll prob see a big loss next week. It will be water retention. I would just...

Hi Bunny, I've been wondering where you've been :-) Sorry to hear about your rash, at least you know what might be causing it. There you were taking them capsules thinking they're good for you! Well done on the weightloss and for sticking to the diet. xx

I haven't had anything like that. I think you should make an appointment with the doctor just to get it checked out. xx

You've been doing amazing hun. I wish I had some of your energy! xx

I came on yesterday so I think that's the reason for the scales not budging, that's what I'm hoping anyway. I really hope that I see a big loss next week. I know I need to start exercising but I hate it! I will try to make more of an effort. Yesterdays food Breakfast special k with semi...

That's what I'm starting to think downsizeme. Yesterday I had homemade turkey burgers and I thought the turkey mince would be under 5% fat but after I had eaten I checked the label and it was over 6% fat but I didn't have any side effects. I would love to have a bit of low fat cheddar with some...

I had my weigh in this morning and I've lost 2lbs. I'm pleased with this and I'm going to try hard this week and aim for a 3lbs loss next week to bring me under 17 stone.

I've been thinking about the 5% rule and I don't understand how we can't have certain foods over 5% fat but we can have the same foods in a ready meal. Like if you read the ingredients on ready meals it says stuff that we wouldn't eat ourselves. Like butter, veg oil, cheese etc. I had a ww pizza...

I've had my weigh in this morning and I've lost 2lbs. I'm chuffed with this, I thought it would be less because I haven't been very good with my water intake and I've done zero exercise. This week I'm going to try harder. Bunny_hops = 10lbs - 5lbs = 5lb to go celtgirl = 8lb chala1972 = 8lb...

I'm loving chutneys at the moment. You can get all different kinds and all the ones I've seen are in the rules.

I had homemade turkey burgers in a white bap with tomato chutney, aunt bessies rustic chunky chips and salad. It was lush :-)

I like iced gems and sainsburys be good to yourself sweet chilli cassava snacks, they're like crisps and they are a nice treat that are in the rules. I don't really snack on healthy stuff like fruit, I still have crisps and biscuity things but just ones in the rules.

Well done! You must be over the moon :-)

It's mine too and I only really drink it at christmas. It's my weigh in tomorow and I'm not looking forward to it. I've been good foodwise but my water intake over the last few days has been bad, plus I'm getting bunged up because I'm hardly eating any fruit or veg and I've done zero exercise...

The Doctor said it should sort itself out soon and if it doesn't she said she would prescribe me sleeping tablets but I'm not sure if I would want to take them. Hopefully it will get better soon. It's the mornings when I'm the most tired, I wish I could just crawl back into bed. Todays food...

I know what you mean bunny but it's finding the energy to do the exercise. I've been so tired lately. I'm having trouble sleeping and when I do get to sleep I keep waking up lots of times through the night, so through the day I'm so tired. I think it's the medication I'm on, the Doctor said it...

I had my weigh in this morning and I've lost 4.5lbs :-) I Think most of that was from the stomach bug I had last week. I really need to start exercising but I just can't find the motivation. I hate exercise and I'm lazy so I can't be bothered most of the time. Todays food Breakfast 2...

Hi missy70, bunny has gave you some good advice :-) Once you get the hang of it it's quite easy. The rules on the sticky explain it well. Thanks bunny. I know with me that if I have a break for christmas I'll just probably over do it, so I'm planning on sticking with the tablets. I'm going to...

I know it's such a minefield isn't it?!! There's so much information out there you don't really know what to believe. I'm trying to up my calorie intake because I read eating to few calories can slow your metabolism down but then I know people on low calorie diets lose lots of weight so I don't...

I know me too bunnyhops. It's really bad but since I was pregnant with my daughter I've carried on wearing granny pants! I started wearing them when I was pregnant because they were more comfortable and I'm still wearing them now nearly 5 years on. My poor oh! Lol!

If you stick to the rules you shouldn't get side affects. I never had any side affects. That's typical of men, they just don't listen do they?!! Well hopefully that will keep him on the straight and narrow from now on. xx

I'm feeling much better today, I hopped on the scales this morning and I'm 4lb down from yesterday! So fingers crossed next weeks weigh in will be more promising. Todays food Breakfast shredded wheat fruitful with semi skimmed milk Lunch 2 sainsburys bgty sausages 2 sainsburys bgty bacon...

I know, it's so hard to try not to weigh yourself all the time. I had a sneaky look this morning just to see if it was the same as yesterday and I'm 4lbs down from yesterday! I'm not going to update my ticker though because Thursdays my official weigh in day. I'm definately going to weigh myself...

Today I had my weigh in and I lost .5lb. I was a little disappointed but I did a waist measurement and I've lost nearly 2 and a half inches in 2 weeks so I'm just going to focus on that. I haven't been on my bike today because I've not stopped all day and I'm tired but I'll make sure I make up...

What about chicken enchiladas? Fry some onions and garlic in some frylight, add some passata and chipotle paste. Simmer for 10-15 mins until reduced. Cook some peppers and red onion wedges on a griddle pan or under the grill. Fill some tortillas with the peppers, onions and some cooked chicken...

I've read about this happening to people who lose weight quickly. It sometimes takes their minds a while to catch up. Maybe take some photos of yourself now and compare them to some old photos, then you will be able to see the difference. You have done fantastic and you should be really proud of...

I've got one. It's like a big dumbbell with kind of springy things on each end that move when you shake it. It's quite hard to explain, if you look on youtube they have videos on how to use them. If you use them for 6 minutes a day it's supposed to be better than doing a certain amount of time...

Well done everyone! It looks like everyone reached their goals. Let's hope we all do aswell in the October challenge :-)

Thanks guys. I know you're both right about the inches but we all like to see the scales moving down aswell. I should just focus on the positives and not dwell on it too much. I'll keep plodding along and see what next week brings. Bunnyhops I think if I were to go back to slimming world I...

I had my weigh in this morning and I have lost 0.5lb so I have met my September target. xx

I had my weigh in this morning and I've only lost half a pound :cry: I've been sticking to the rules 100% so I don't know why it's such a small loss. I know when I used to do slimming world my losses would be much bigger when I stuck to the diet 100%. I weighed myself yesterday and it said I had...

Even though I was really tired I think what spurred me on was that I had just met one of my skinny friends and that's what I want to be like one day! lol. Wishful thinking! I am going to see my doctor tomorow because I have been feeling very low the last couple of months. I thought it was the...

I'm sure you'll do it, you've got your lovely dress to keep you motivated. How long left till your last fitting? How much do you want to lose by then? xx

Well done Kes 11lb loss for the month is great! Your pics are amazing, you look fab! If your finding the tfr diet too difficult and your missing food maybe go back to eating and taking xenical? I know you want to lose weight quickly but it could be a better option if your struggling? xx

Thanks Kes :-) I didn't really like the new covent garden soup to be honest, it was really watery. I really like the sainsburys bgty tomato and 3 bean soup, thats one of my faves. Today has been a busy day, it feels like I haven't stopped all day. I'm shattered! I'm finding this diet ok but I...

Shirleen - 10lbs Kes - 15lbs Pink_Kelly - 8lbs Bunny-hops - 10lbs Elliebird - 14lbs i love diamonds - 10lbs

I'm sure you'll see a good loss. You've been good all week and stuck to the rules so theres no reason you shouldn't get what you want. xx

Thats great about people noticing you've lost weight, it must give you a nice boost. Yay about the clothes fitting now, you must be so pleased. Maybe the wind is to do with the branflakes, you have them everyday and they're full of fibre so they could be the culprit? xx

Thanks! :D xx

Everyone is doing great so far :party0011: Lets keep up the good work and we'll all meet our christmas targets :D I lost 2.5lbs this week so another 22.5lbs for me to reach my christmas goal. xx

Well done fru:party0011: 3lbs is a great loss. You're going to ace this challenge :) 2.5lbs off this week for me so half a pound left to reach my target :D xx

Today I've had a hungry day. It's still totm and I feel like eating lots of naughty things. I had a weight watchers chocolate pudding earlier and that did satisfy some of my chocolate cravings. It's been a lovely sunny day again so I took the baby out for a 30 minute walk. I'm slowly getting...

junk ;)

I'm sooooooooooo tired today. I don't know whats wrong with me but from about 4 o'clock today I've been so knackered. I'm going to watch eastenders then run myself a nice bath then have an early night. I managed to venture out today for a nice walk with the baby. I can't remember the last time I...

Wow that is an amazing transformation! You look gorgeous! All your hard work has paid off :-) xx

Kes I think the bike will be too heavy for me to put in the car myself :-( I think brown rice is supposed to be better than white because it has a lower gl value so should keep you feeling fuller for longer and keep your blood sugar levels stable. I bought the gl diet book just before I started...

Well done hun :party0011: you're off to a great start :D xx

Well done hun! That's a fab loss for your first week, keep up the good work :-) xx

Thanks Fru :-) I find a diary helps me loads. You should do one and like you said they'll be good to look back on when we're skinny minnies :-) xx

Thanks hun :-) Aww I'm sure your boys will be fine. You'll just have to take loads with you to keep them entertained. Last time we went away we got a night flight because someone said they're better because the kids just sleep, no one told my daughter that! She was awake most of the time and I...

Oooo that looks yum! I wish my oh could cook! Well done for losing most your holiday gain. xx

I'm good thanks. I'm not finding this diet too bad. I think because I can still have my favourite foods but just in the low fat versions it's not making me feel like I'm missing out. I'm feeling really positive and think I'm actually going to make it this time :-) My bikes being put up today, so...

I know what you mean hun, I'm the same. Since having my daughter I've just got bigger and bigger and this is with trying lot's of different diets! Cameroon, you lucky thing! I would love to go away for xmas but I want to wait till the baby's a bit bigger. We love our holidays and are really...

Well done Kathryn :-) Wow, looking at your ticker you've done amazing. Keep up the good work!! You'll be at your goal weight in no time! xx

I think you'll definately drop dress sizes with that weight loss because you're not massive to start with. xx

Aww that's great news hun! You must be over the moon. xx

Thanks Bunny hops :-) I've always been a breakfast eater but my daughter started school this month and I'm not used to eating it so early. That will be mad if we get snow already, English weather is soooo annoying! I would love to migrate! Todays food Breakfast 3 sainsburys bgty sausages 1...

Thanks guys :-) I agree with you Alex, that's why I'm trying to have things I would normally eat but now I just have the low fat version and then I don't feel like I'm missing out. Today I've had a hungry day, all I've wanted to do is eat. I think it's because of totm and the cold weather...

Thats a fab loss :party0011:Well done!!

Hope you feel better soon xx

They'll love it, Vegas is fab! xx

Hi :-) I've been on the diet a week now and I haven't had any side effects either, like you the threat of them is what's keeping me on track. This forum is great for supporting each other, if you ever have a wobble or want to ask anything there is always someone here to help you. Good luck on...

Thanks Fru :-) xx

I'm new to the tablets so can't really advise you on them but I just wanted to say you're going to one of my favourite places! I'm very jealous!! Vegas is not really a good place to be on a diet, there's so much yummy food and drink surrounding you 24/7 and the portions are huuuuuge. Where are...

Well done fru, thats a good loss after the weekend antics ;-) I had my weigh in this morning and I've lost 5lbs!! I'm well chuffed with this!! I came on this morning and it's the first period I've had since the baby so I was expecting a smaller loss. I'm really happy with the diet because I...

Wow that's a fantastic loss in that amount of time! Are you doing lots of exercise aswell as eating low fat? xx

Well done Kes!! That's a great loss :-) It's my first weigh in tomorow and I would be pleased with half of that! xx

Kes I know what you mean about all food sounding good when you're on cd. I think my own arm looked tasty when I was on that diet! Today I'm still feeling ill, after I post todays food I'm going to go to bed and get an early night and hopefully tomorow I'll be feeling better. I made the...

I think you're doing great Louise :-) As long as you're not feeling hungry then keep up what you're doing xx

They sound good Kes, I'll pop to the shops tomorow and pick some up. Anything to avoid the dreaded lurgies that start flying about in the winter. Today's food Green tea plus a rice cake with a slice of deli chicken to kickstart my metabolism before I did the school run. Breakfast special k...

That's great news! You must be so chuffed! Maybe you could treat yourself to a non food treat. xx

Hi Kirsti! Looks like you've got off to a great start! I only started the diet last week so this is new for me too. Let's hope we do aswell as some of the other ladies on this board. xx

I'm feeling a bit run down at the moment, I don't know whether it's the tablets or the cold weather or how much alcohol I drank on Saturday but I feel like I'm getting the flu :( I'm going to buy some multivitamins next time I'm out because the only ones I have are pregnacare and they say to...

Sorry your not going to see your hubby for a while. I'm sure it will fly by though and when he comes back you'll be well on your way to being a slinky malinky ;-) Bless you about the oil spillage!! At least you wont want to eat naughty foods again! I think thats why I've been eating good because...

Hi Kirsti :-) I just started on Thursday so I'm no expert but I just stick to foods under 5% fat so no more than 5grams of fat per 100g and no more than 15grams of fat per meal and I haven't had any bad side effects. I also try and drink at least 1.5litres of water. This site is fab for...

Thanks Emmzy. Thats a great loss in five days, I hope I can have a great loss like that in my first week. Thats why I'm too scared to eat bad things because of the "anal leakage" lol. Todays eating was a bit sparse because of the hangover from hell. No breakfast Late lunch Half a tin of...

Kes I think the bikes getting put up tomorow, so my big butt will be on it from then!! It's sad but I'm looking forward to using it but I know when I start I'll prob hate it! Well today I feel sooooo rough. I went to a family bbq yesterday and it's the first time I've had a proper drinking...

Thats great news!! It's funny how different doctors say different things. I'm glad you got it sorted. xx

You're right Lou it's best to look to the future and hopefully leave all our bad eating habits behind us. This site gives me lots of motivation, especially looking at other peoples weight loss journeys because it shows that it can be done. Frumpytosexy I think the only time I get properly...

I don't really do any exercise. I have bought an exercise bike and a shake weight and I plan to use these everyday once the bikes been put up. I know exercise is the key to a healthy lifestyle. xx

I would like to join please!! I would like to lose 30lb by xmas aiming for a 2lb loss each week. xx

Wow you have done amazing!! You are such an inspiration! You must be sooo fit with all that exercise you do. I get knackered running up the stairs!! I hope one day I'll be so enthusiastic about exercise xx

What about homemade soups? You can just chuck all the veg you want in and maybe some pulses and stock. Vegetable currys or Veg strir frys. What about Vegetable stew? Or quorn sausage casserole. The slimming world magazine is a good suggestion it always has lots of veggie recipes. It's hard to...

Well done!! xx

Well day one is nearly done and dusted and I'm feeling quite good :) I went food shopping and have become an expert label checker now lol. I'm not working out exactly how much fat is in my meals but I'm making sure the food I eat is 5% fat or less and my meals are definately within the 15g or...

It's horrible being a hermit because of low confidence. We can help each other to become yummy mummys ;) How have you been finding it? Have you had any of the dreaded side affects? xx

I am going to start a diary on here, hopefully to keep me motivated and on track. I will be starting xenical tomorow and this is the biggest I have ever been after lots of years yo-yo-ing. I have a four year old daughter and I never lost the baby weight after having her, infact I added to it...

Hi Lou! I'm a newbie too, I'll be starting tomorow. I'm around the same size and weight as you too so hopefully we can spur each other on and keep each other motivated :-) I'm also sick of the yo-yo-ing, lets hope we lose the weight and keep it off for good xx

I would like to join please :-) I have been to the doctors today and will be starting tomorow. I'll aim for an 8lb loss by the end of the month.

Wow your losses are amazing, whats your secret?! xx

I told myself that i wasnt going to feel guilty about eating no matter how much weight I put on because i know it will come back off. Back on day 1 but for me I dont find the first few days the hardest, its around day 6 or 7 where my head starts telling me i need food. xx

On friday my fiance told me to pack a bag for the weekend as he had something booked. I had no idea what he was talking about but he had this planned for a while. He had booked a posh hotel in London for the weekend and it was amazing. I cant believe i knew nothing about it, hes a sneaky man. We...

I restarted last week after deciding to quit 3 weeks ago and im 13lb1/2 down :D. I am really happy i decided to do this diet again instead of sw because i struggled to lose that in a month on that plan. I had a wobble on Wednesday feeling really hungry and down and telling myself i could quit...

I am 5ft 5 and when i was 15 stone i was an 18 bottom some 16 tops. xx

Are you on ss? Do you drink enough water? 3lb is still a good loss dont get disheartened. Look at your overall loss 20lb in 5 weeks is still a good result. xx

omg that is brilliant, well done! xx

Well done for starting. I think if you stick with it your partner will definately notice a difference in 3 weeks time. Good luck, keep drinking lots of water and if you start to wobble come on here for support. xx

I think seaneen didnt mean that you had an eating disorder. There is a eating disorder where people chew food and spit it out and it is bad for you as it does something to your stomach. I have read about it but cant remember all the details. Im not saying that you have that disorder but i...

2 and a half stone is a brilliant loss in less than 2 months. I would be happy with that. Have you done any aam weeks? xx

well done thats a great loss in 3 weeks. What other diet could you lose that amount of weight in that time? Keep it up. xx

Hi I am on day 4 too. You can lose 2 stone in 9 weeks no problem. Have you had a peek at the scales yet because youve probably lost already. I had a look this morning and im 9lb down already! How are you finding it? I never really feel hungry but its when i smell food i start thinking about it. xx

well done you, theres nothing more motivating than seeing the scales go down by so much. You will have lost your first stone in no time. xx

Thank you for all your lovely comments ladies. Ditzeeblonde 7 stone in 4 months is amazing and you know youve lost it before so you can do it again. Klee you sound really positive, hopefully we both get to our goal for December. xx

I came off the diet a few weeks back after only managing nearly 2 weeks on it. I decided i didnt want to it anymore as i was struggling and was going to switch ww. I have been reading the ww forum but the small losses has put me off as i am getting married in Mauritius in December and want to...
