The Script were amazing. Hope you've all had a good weekend! Xx

Awwwww. Well, I'm getting my weave seen to soon. Then tomorrow im heading to Manchester to see The Script....on st Paddy's day. The CRAIC is gonna be mighty! Haha xx

You cutie! :) I'm ok thanks! You? Found you on fb finally haha xx

Hello and welcome! I did Slim and Save last year and lost a fair bit but then put it all back on. I've tried to go back on it but can't because my body just can't tolerate it like it did the first time. I get really bad abdo pain with it. So I've switched to hight protein, low...

Yeah it's hard going on everyone isn't it, them in particular. Dunno if I could come to terms with having a stoma. Because he's only 19 they've said the chances of him having it reversed in 12 months is high. So that's some good news at least :) xxx

Brothers been in theatre this morning to remove some of his bowel. Can't imagine being 19 and having a stoma. Feel so bad for him :(

Thank youuuu! I want to blog about it...but body acceptance in relation to being "curvy" and posting about this would not go down well with readers. Keeping that one quiet :') x

THANKS BABE! I'm proud of myself considering I've been poorly & my brother being in hospital has been a stress! I inboxed you back x

FIRST WEIGH IN. Start weight: 16st 7.2lbs After a week: 15st 11.8lbs Total loss 9.4lbs :D Yay!

You? Behave? Ha! ;D Brothers better thanks, I was sent home from placement today coz I'm not 100%. Spent the afternoon asleep on the sofa. So wild. So I kinda feel your hangover pain. X

Go on then ;) x

18 months to get bikini bod ready for this...

Hahhahahaaaaaaa!! Probs ;) x

You're welcome :) I hope so! Determined to stick this out. Just booked 2 weeks away on a beach in Menorca for September 2014 (when I've finished my degree). If that's not motivation the I dunno what is. I've never worn a bikini so that is my goal! HAHAHA. No hairy ones thankfully. ;) xx

Errrrr you what Laura? You look bloody amazing and id kill for your figure. Swear down. I get green with jealousy when I see your pics. Get annoyed at myself that I haven't managed that. I WILL THOUGH. *eats pork scratchings*

Tying yourself in knots? How so? A girls night out sounds grand! :) x

EEEE TA BABE ;) He's better. Still poorly in hospital. My sis has come down with the same thing. Hope I'm not next :( How're you doing? Xx

Lying in bed trying to sleep but can't get over how rank my breath is despite cleaning my teeth and using mouthwash. I'm so attractive.

Thanks Laura :) End of day 4. Not had anything slim and save meal pack wise but stuck to low carb. Can't face the packs. My brother is so poorly in hospital...it's a wonder I've managed to eat an omelette and a chicken salad at all. Hope everyone is alright. Xx

Hi lovely. I completed Day 3 yesterday as well, so now on day 4 (it's past midnight ;D). This is a restart for me. I lost almost 2 stone last year and managed to keep it off until October/November and its piled on since. I'm determined to lose it all again AND more. Minimins is such an...

It's the bread! Yum :) I did indeed...purely on a friends basis haha x

SHIVIE...THIS.

I know! This will be my 3rd time in 8 months, love you people haha. 22nd April can't come sooner. Can't wait for some stew in Parnell's at the end of O'Connell Street! (Near that cinema). Dreaming about it! How are things with you lady? Xx

Awww was hoping for some kinda goss! Haha x

Ok thanks, on day 3 despite illness. I'm a trouper. Xx

A bit better, thanks! Deffo in ketosis today. How are you lovely, what's new? Xx

I feel so ill. I dunno whether this upset stomach and nausea is the diet or if I'm actually ill. My brothers just been taken to hospital coz he's had d+v for almost 2 weeks. Hope I don't get that bad! :(

Day 1 was very long as i have been awake for almost 24 hours now thanks to work :/ I'm going to bed for a few hours now! Then Day 2 can officially begin. I succeeded in turning down quavers, biscuits and a mars bar last night and stuck with my omelette. Had 3 litres of water as well. I am...

Thank youuuuu :) xx

Having spicy spaghetti and cauliflower for my tea :) Absolutely shattered and I'm working a nightshift. No idea how I'm gonna get through it. Got a shake, a massive omelette & a small pack of something called bacon jerky should I need it. Think I'm gonna have this and then a 2 hour nap...

EXACTLY THAT. I hate peppermint tea :( gonna have to have some Imodium I think :( xx

I feel so ill! Does anyone else's stomach feel off when they start back on slim & save? :( x

Me either. Got all the shakes I have left over aka the ones I disliked the most haha!

Thanks for the support! Just having my first cookies and cream shake. Very sickly :/

So that's my starting weight. Stood on the scales about 20 different times as it kept changing from 16:9 something to 16:6 something. This was the happy medium. If I stick to slim and save combined with protein meals like an omelette etc when I'm working long hours, I reckon I'll easily be...

Thanks Ladies! Glad I've got your support! :)

RIGHT. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. It's almost 4:30am and I'm wide awake. Bloody night shifts this week have messed with my body clock. Guess what I decided to do after weeks of putting it off? I weighed myself. 16:12. My heaviest. EVER. Feel like crying. Might weigh a couple of pounds less coz...

Hahaaa how come? I'm getting my extensions back in on Friday. Can't wait! How have you been lovely? Xx

Not sure. I like to think I'll start tomorrow but I've got to drive to Ripon & back tomorrow :/ and I've got a couple of things planned social-wise. Might wait til next week. X

1) thanks! 2) Revlon kissable balm stain, dunno which colour but they're amazing 3) wouldn't recommend bleaching. My hairs been awful since 4) thanks! 5) cool... ;)

Ha! Well I've well & truly been told :') will hang around for good then! Glad you like the blog x x x

DAY ONE ON MONDAY AGAIN. LET'S DO THIS. I've been away, sorry girlsssss. Life's been hectic and dieting has not been on my mind. Was trying to focus my efforts on accepting my body but I can't. I've got to a point where I don't feel comfortable. If I lost a stone I'd be fine again. So that...

HELLOOOO. I am in exactly the same place :( well and truly back to square one. I plan to start s&s again on Monday, hope you're going to e around to talk to! X x

SO AMAZING!! Happy for you babe :D xxx

Why not do a week or 2 on slim and save to kick start things again?? I'd kill to be in the 11s! Nope not yet...was meant to but I've been doing nights & it's hard to get started. I think I'll try and get into the swing of things at the weekend. I need a holiday...

Good luck chick! I'm sure the damage won't be horrific :)! It was a 4 day break...never walked so much in my life which is probably why I sts! X

I am back! Didn't put any weight on...stayed the same. Woooo :) Diet holidays are always needed Laura! I'm starting back on slim and save tomorrow. NEED to get into the 13's by the 12th Nov. (start placement again then...gynae ward!) Let me know how the weigh in goes tomorrow xxx

I have eaten far too much pizza and gelato :'( however my feet are basically stumps because of the hours walking I've done every day. I'm hoping it will cancel out. Fly home tomorrow lunchtime, so will weigh on Saturday to see what damage has been done :( x

Ciao all, I am jetting off to Rome in the early hours. Came off plan on Friday and have since had a McDonalds, a takeaway, and other terrible foods. Bring on the Italian cuisine. ;) don't miss me too much xxx

Lauraaaa :) Not too bad, not really following the plan 100% but still doing low carb so still in ketosis. Can't be bothered :( sick of dieting!! How about you? Xx

Well done! :)

Just weighed myself... 14st 6.8 So that's a loss of 4.2lbs? Bit annoyed that I've not had a big big loss yet like I have when I've been on plan previously :/ but hey...a loss is a loss.

If you're having 4 packs then you should be getting all the vitamins you need :) so don't worry! I was the same! Once I'm in ketosis though, I tend to eat chicken or turkey if I'm hungry, or make an omelette with egg whites. This isn't following the plan 100% but its no carbs essentially, so...

Absolutely not! It's nice to have someone who knows what I'm going through. I've just started my 2nd year, how are you finding it generally? Well done on day one! The first week is the toughest, but after that its plain sailing lovely :) I'm excited to do my 2nd week weigh in on Monday :) x x

Just tried to make a choc brownie from the choc shake but failed haha. Ended up a warm choclatey gooey mess in a bowl but was so yummy! :) xx

I've found that citric acid doesn't effect me with regards to ketosis. So I can get away with most diet drinks. But if you're new to S&S I'd stick to coke zero & water :)

Thanks :) aha I know, weigh in on Monday so I am not going to mess that up! I shall do. Bed rest for me I think. Xx

Eughhhhhh. I am FULL of cold :( my belly is rumbling too :( shouldn't be coz I'm in ketosis. I just want to sleep & eat a cake. I need to get a grip.

Of course you can ;) x x

If I ever end up in a home I am going to be buzzer happy just to get my own back hahahaa. Oooh mines Tuesday. I'm really excited. I had a cheeky stand on the bariatric (morbidly obese people) scales at work the other night. It gave me my weight in kg and I converted it to stones... Don't...

Not unless I'm genuinely dying :/ or I'll get sacked. Daft agency work :( I'm sure I'll be ok. It's a residential home which is a)easy going and b) they'll be asleep! So I can take a book :D What day are you weighing in Pam? :) xx

Aww same :( I've taken a sneaky day off uni coz my throats killing me so I'm tucked up in bed. Agreed to work tonight. Definitely regretting that! Xx

Thought I'd update this. Properly been on plan with no cheating for 7 days now. Definitely in the zone :) breath hums, ketostix confirming that ketosis has set in, hardly thinking about food now which is good. Family have booked a week in Rome on the 22nd of this month... That's going to be...

Feeling any better Pam Laaaaaa? Xxx

Hahahaaaa! Oh Laura, you do make me laugh! Xx

What's the craic girrrrrrrrrl?! Haven't heard from you in ages! :( xxx

It was quite moist. :') hahahaaaaa x

Was dead appetising ;) haha. It's on Monday! Xx

I keep having to quote messages or it won't let me post otherwise on my phone :( eugh technology!! So... Pam & Laura. I've only recently woken up. Shift was good. Nommed on some chicken breast, didn't have a shake in the early hours as I couldn't stomach it. I can't stomach anything now but I...

I deliberately didn't buy the bars coz I know if I had a weak moment I'd scoff them all :( Glad you're loving it! :D keep up the good work lovely! Xxx

Eeeeeee look who it is ;) jokes! I'm missing you woman. Just me and Pam now though... dunno if you're welcome here anymore haha. So proud of you that the 10s are in reach!! Xx

Sounds good Pam! Well done on day 1 :) today's been hard for me. Now sat in the reception of a hospital waiting to go start my shift. Turned up half an hour early! Xxx

That's fine by me. I did fine mon & tues last week then completely binged on Wednesday. I think it comes with the whole restart thing. When you first ever do s&s you're scared to slip up. Well I was anyway. I'm glad you're feeling better today though :) I've just had a bit of a lie in...

How's today been Pam?? Xx

That's good! I've had 2 shakes so far & a load of chicken :) and a litre of water :) feeling good today! Xx

Yay pam! How's it going? Xx

Lost 3lbs :) not bad considering I've only actually stuck to the plan properly for 4 days :)!

I don't think I'm in ketosis yet properly. I'm still starving and this is officially only the start of day 3 (coz of my wobble on Wednesday). Give it a day or so and I'll be fine. It's just the hunger pangs. Just gonna drink plenty of water and ignore it :)! I've done it before so can do it...

Thank you! Good luck to you too! I do exactly the same...window shopping online ;) can't wait to buy clothes without thinking "is that gonna cling to my hips in a bad way?!" Haha!

Easier said than done hey :) gonna stick it out. If I can make it through this weekend then I'm good to go! Ahhh that's amazing! Not long to go! Well done lovely :) xxx

I've done all that and it's still grim. Don't reckon I'm fully in ketosis yet either :( This weeks been ok. I completely fell off plan on Wednesday but I've followed it religiously since. Determined to get into the swing of things. Definitely the hardest part! :( How are you doing?? Xxx

I AM SO BORED. Feel like I'm all alone with no support :( I've got gross breath too. Yum.

Thank you! :) if you have a proper read you'll just read me moaning loads haha. If you're determined to do it then you'll stick to it :) Good luck & keep me updated :D

Fell off the wagon after my attempt at a healthy carb free lunch. Had a flapjack. I have no will power :/ Been back on it today. New order arrived & I've had a toffee shake & a cookies and cream one. Much better now they've sorted the sodium problem out. Hate myself for yesterday...

I've ended up in frankie and bennys. Just ordered a ham omelette with a side salad. I believe that's not going to be too terrible as it'll be low in carbs. Fingers crossed!

Sounds like a plan to me! Moan all you want xx

I always do that. But I just decided this week I'm gonna give it a go! Gonna take it week by week. I definitely want to be slimmer this Christmas than I was last year. So I've got a stone to lose at least. Ideally I'd like to be around the 13stone mark by then. We can do this!! Xxx

Hey lovely! Today has been harder coz I've been back at Uni with everyone scoffing chips and chocolate etc. But I battled through with the aid of a bit of chicken breast (no carbs right?!) and I'm just about to have my last pack. I think you should do it. I'm back now for good so we'll...

Hi!! It's going good! Had 2 shakes, macaroni & just had cottage pie with mushrooms. Almost drank all my water so I'm on plan & feeeeeeeling good ;) You alright love? Xx

Also need to update my stats but can't on my phone I don't think. Weighed myself and in 15 stone 0.2lbs. Which is actually not bad considering I was just over 16 stone when I started this ages ago and I've had a break. Managed to keep a stone off. SO HERE IS TO GETTING RID OF ANOTHER STONE :)

Hi everyone. Day 1 of my restart today and I'm just about to have a strawberry shake. I'm using up what I've got left before placing a new order! Was really ill last night...attended a family party yesterday and something I ate must not have agreed with me so spent most of the night with my...

Ladies...my life hasn't been complete since I left you. So much has happened. I'm getting back on slim & save soon I hope (matter of finances really) but I hope you'll all forgive me for abandoning you xxxx

Guess whos backkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

Had a blip over the last week or so. I'm around 14:12 now. My plan is to get back on it on Monday. I need to look sexual for Leeds fest in August. Hope everyone else is doing ok x x

Thank you! :D xxxx

Hey ladies haven't weighed myself in ages until this morning. Want an update? 14st 10lb!!!!! (started at 16st something). So happy to be in the 14s! Could be in the 13s in a few weeks. HELLO NEW FOUND MOTIVATION! :D

Nope, I've got a shift from hell tonight from my agency. Seriously can't be bothered! Yesss next weekend I think?! Hopefully if neither of us are busy. I'm getting my legs, eyebrows and...area waxed this week. Christ I look like a mammoth at the moment. Let myself go so badly :')

Hope you're having a fab birthday weekend!! :) xxx

I am back in ketosis! The dipstick confirmed it just now...and the epic metal mouth I have on the go says it all. Has taken me 2 days. Shocked it's been so fast! :D

Only just seen your post! Sounds like a plan & you best not leave here! Haha :D x x

Use it as part of calorie controlled diet? In almost being off plan I've put on about 5lbs which isn't bad going considering that's mostly water weight & I've been doing 12.5 hr shifts. Weight WILL come off you if what you eat is less than you use. Don't be scared!

Yesss a much needed catch up ;D haha! Christ I've let myself go being on nights. Need to sort that out ASAP. It's my last one on placement tonight for now wooooo. I feel better now, yesterday was the 4yr anniversary of my mums death so :( but I'm okay! The toffee shake was reallllllly nice...

Hiiiii. I was really good until yesterday. I wasnt well, took the day off & fell off the wagon :( back on it today though. Determined to stick to this because im having a "catch up" with a male friend of mine next weekend. Need to have lost a bit of weight by then!! X x Ps tried the cookies and...

Ohhh no :( but at least you aren't beating yourself up about it too much like I was. I was crying i was so angry with myself! Enjoy your week off then get back to it lovely. I'm finding restarting difficult. So hungry :( xxx

Not too bad :) didn't feel hungry yesterday. Had 3 shakes & a salad. Drank over 3 litres of water & wasn't hungry. Never am on nights which is a bonus. How about you? X x

I'll live. Just stuck a kwells tablet under my top lip in the hope the feeling will go away haha. X x

Had a chocolate shake about an hour ago and feel ridiculously sick. That's promising before a night shift... :(

Today is the day! :) well...I'm off to bed now and will be starting tonight :D haha xxx

That's brilliant! Xxxxx

<3 <3

Thank youuuu! :) I've got 3 weeks worth of stuff sitting in my room. It's been shouting at me to start again haha. Just ordered samples of those new shakes :) excited to try them! Xxx

It's also my totm so I'm not giving myself a restart weight...so wont weigh in til next week.

Hi everyone *hangs head in shame* I am returning to s&s tomorrow! (Hopefully). I dont feel like I have the motivation to, but im praying that if I start it then I'll get into the swing of it easier than last time :) Since the 15th June I have worked 124 hours (mostly night shifts- placement &...

The last 24hrs have been horrible. I'm pretty sure my time of the month is due within the next week and I've felt really down in the dumps. As a result I ate sweets at the cinema and had a bacon sandwich for my dinner. What the hell...I feel like I've let myself down, and most of all I feel as...

Really?! I can't wait. I've got 3 weeks worth of stuff to go, so won't be ordering til week after next! Let me know how they are! It'll just be my luck they're all out of stock when I want to re order :')

Always makes me hungry! Have you seen on the slim & save site they're bringing out new shakes? Toffee, raspberry, COOKIES AND CREAM. Yummmmmmmm :D x x

Haha same, I feel like I've cheated eating pepparami's...they are full of fat :/ eugh. Back on track tomorrow for definite!! I'll way in Monday evening after sleeping during the day. That should be ok right? X x

I'm so excited! If I get into the 14s I'll be able to tick off 2 of my mini goals!

I haven't noticed anything really :/ obviously my uniform fits a lot nicer, and I've lost a couple of inches here and there. I'll probably notice more after another stone! Fingers crossed :) havent actually worn clothes other than my uniform or pjs in a while so will try them all on next week...

After this week, I've got 3 weeks left :) but tbh, now I've hopefully got some part time work I want to do it for another month or so after that. May as well, because I want to get as close to my target weight possible before the end of August. X x x

That's very true! It's one of my main goals (that's I've not put in my signature aha). Need it too be loose! Xxx

Thanks again you two! I know it'd be a shame to give up now! I'm not going to, just yeah...feeling down in the dumps. Hope you're both okay x x

I don't even know :( I'm fine when I'm up and about doing stuff, but I've been off placement for 3 days now and not in til Friday night. I've got too much time on my hands! Which is when I think about it too much.

Not going to lie..my motivation to do this plan has gone completely.

Thanks you two :) I know....I was just hoping for more seeing as I've been more active this week and everything. Could be to do with the fact im not drinking loads (I dont get a lot of chances on the ward and dont want to be dashing to the loo loads), or that I have 5 things on those days? It...

I'm annoyed it was 2.8 not 3 :')

Well done :D x x

0.2lbs off a stone. ARGHH

2.8lbs :/

About to do it now :) x x

Everyone's gone missing from these forums. I feel terrible coz I don't have much to say. How bad is that? Third weigh in tomorrow morning...looking forward to it :) I'm really pleased with myself. I sent an online application to a care agency at 8pm and they called me back 20 mins later and...

I'm sat in McDonalds having a black coffee. Is that allowed?

*got in

Thanks lovely! Just gone in and feet are aching a bit...but it's a sign I've worked hard. Had a really nice day today! They were all eating chip sandwiches at lunch and offering me biscuits and sweets again. I resisted well :D How are you? COKE ZERO TIME!!!

I agree. It has become the norm. I don't really think about it a lot. I can't believe it's Friday tomorrow either. It'll be our 3rd weigh in soon. How fast has that gone?! X

Thanks everyone!! :) Ahhh my shift is dragging so much! Can't wait to finish at 20:15!! Seriously excited for my last shake. How sad am I?! :')

Had a good couple of days & stuck to the plan well :) hope everyone is okay, feel like I've not been very chatty recently :( xox

Thank youuuu! Xox

Sorry everyone for my lack of presence! Just been catching up on sleep & enjoying my days off before my shift tomorrow. Dreading it again. I hate feeling stupid by getting under everyone's feet & always asking questions. :( Been doing well with the eating plan & haven't had any "omg I want to...

Whattttt! :( that's terrible. I hope you're okay lovely xxx

Thanks lovely! :) x x

I love BB! Didn't know it was on tonight! :o xxx

Sticking to slim & save will be a challenge on nights...but I can do it! I turned down cake & sweets from patients today. Really pleased with myself :) wasn't an awful first day! Just wanted to say I felt really good today. My uniform was loose and I could zip up my trousers properly (the...

Ahh that's good to hear! :) won't do too much harm then! Just got home because the sister let me go early. I start 3 weeks of nights from next week. What a killer D: Wasn't such a bad day, just weird getting used to it after a nursing home! Hope you've all had a lovely bank holiday! Xx

Yup! A spare bloody part! When I'm on these shifts I've decided I'm going to have 4 packs & a chicken salad coz I'm so active. Reckon that's ok? Xxx

My ward seems ok. Haven't met my mentor yet and I've been wondering around aimlessly :( arghhh. Xxx

I will do lovely! Xxxxx

That's amazing :) I've lost the same! Shall talk to everyone later, need to get my backside into gear for placement. Lots of love xox

Week 2 weigh in! I've lost 4lbs :D yay! However I've had the worst nights sleep & the last thing i want to do right now is my shift. Bleughhhhhhh. Xxx

Thank you! I'm sure I'll be on here ranting on my break haha. I'll weigh in in the morning and post on here super early haha. Can't see me losing a loss, but hey! :D. X x

Had a much better day today as well :) just prepared my lunch for tomorrow, going to watch the apprentice then head to bed :) Glad you've had a good day! X

Think of what I told you about burgers! Haha! Yeah, being more physical will make you hungrier. Tomorrow is going to be tough for me...12 hours on my feet! Im crying inside at the thought of it. WE CAN DO THIS! Just think..you have a lovely day off tomorrow to look forward to :) xx

I think I'm going to have to WI tomorrow (sorry Laura)! It will give me the motivation (if I've lost) to stick the the plan tomorrow. I'm going to be shattered when I get home and that's when I'm likely to give up. It'll also help me resist the chocolates and biscuit tins on the ward! :) I've...

Haha sorry everyone! :') well for me it was caving! So strange eating something that wasn't a pack, bar, shake or veg! Glad we're all feeling better :) I won't be later. I'll be stressing about tomorrow! X

I ended up going to bed really late so have only just woken up! I'm annoyed with myself because there's no way I will sleep tonight and get up at 6am for my shift! Arghhh. Just having a choc shake. Feeling good so far! You feeling better? X x

Girls I caved and had a 60g can of tuna that was in brine and a big glass of water. Feel loads better! X

*sip away at my water

You haven't at all! I'm just feeling bored and sorry for myself! I'm not going to give in. Will sip andean at my water! If I were to have some chicken I know it would lead to other things so it's best to not even go there! Dont want to have a blip! X

Yeah I know. I'm just talking rubbish. I might weigh in tomorrow to hopefully give me a motivational boost xxx

Would it be acceptable to eat a grilled chicken breast instead? Hahaaaa

I know! I won't do it...just had to say it on here haha! X

I'm tempted to pack it all in & order a takeaway arghhhhhhhh

That's great! It's nice when people notice! Yeah...gonna stick to my weekly weigh ins!

I agree. It's absolute rubbish :( xx

Not too bad thanks, glad you survived work! The voice... Can't face watching it tonight xx

Definitely! How long do you intend to stay on the plan? X

Ooh that sounds really yummy! Might do that instead...with some peppers :) I'm still really anxious. Mainly about getting there. I was going to get the bus but it's bank holiday, could walk but I'd get sweaty and horrible, or could drive & pay for parking. Think I'm gonna drive. Beer is vile...

Aww that's nice to hear! You've cheered me up a bit :) I found it got easier from day 5 onwards so hang on in there! I was the same... Kept reading the posts on here to distract myself :) x

I start off every day really motivated but then I get to 6pm and then my good mood vanishes! Oh well, heres to tomorrow lovely! I think another early night may well be on the cards. I'm going to get up early tomorrow morning and head to tesco to get supplies for my chicken & veg/salad based...

Ahhh that's the thing! One moment I'm convinced I could do it forever, then the next I want to cave and scoff a bar of chocolate :( I've got 5 more weeks of packs! If you go back to calorie counting make sure you keep coming on here to spur me on haha. X x

Today's been so boring. Had 3 packs so far today and I'm absolutely starving. I feel down in the dumps and it's right now that I'd go buy a load of junk food. Can't be bothered making my last meal pack so gonna make a shake into a pudding. Serious sweet tooth right now. I'm currently in bed...

Oooooh lovely! I don't trust myself yet! Give me another week or so :) Take it easy lovely! Xox

Enjoy work to the best of your abilities! :D tell me about it...mushrooms cauliflower and broccoli is all I have. Going to be nice having a chicken salad on Monday during my shift! I'm also tempted by a monthly weigh in. Will see how our next one goes xxx

Hi ladies! Headache gone and determined to rock this weekend :D you all ok? Xxx

I second that! I'm almost at the end of my second week now and it's been such an easy week compared to the first. I felt ill in the first week, had tears & terrible headaches galore. It really does get better if you stick it out. Remember to drink water :) xxx

I think so too! Xxx

I did that about an hour ago...used the vanilla one and added cinnamon for a slight change. :) was alright! Can't stand headaches :'( they make want to give in and eat junk! Xx

How's everyone been today? I've been mad busy and only just got round to drinking a decent amount of water...resulting in a headache. Grrrr. Xxx

Really?! Couldn't do that :( x

I feel better in myself and clothes feel a bit comfier and that's with just a 7lb loss in the first week. Well done on dropping the jeans size!

You sure do! Resist! You won't want one after I tell you about what I watched on tv last night. They did a test on a burger/meatball on sale in tesco and found it had the meat of 179 different cows. BLEUGH. XX

Afternoon all :) Day 12 today (I think...I've lost track!) Woke up in a good mood today until I discovered someone has been using my photos without my permission. (Photography is a bit of a hobby for me). Anyway, I'm now in a terrible mood! Despite all that though slim and saving is going...

Just had the cottage pie with some broccoli and button mushrooms. Wasn't too awful! Also...since I started this I've been using tinned mushrooms. I've just looked at the ingredients and they have citric acid in!!!!! Oops :/ I'm still in ketosis though and i have lost...so maybe it doesn't have...

That's amazing though! Well done! :)

Oh no :( that was me yesterday, not feeling too great :( hope you're alright. I'm not into my spicy food!

Reckon they've put it in the wrong packaging by accident? :')

Dunno :( cottage pie probably. My least favourite but I've got loads to go through and keep putting it off. You? X

That's a fair point! Not bad for just sitting on my backside mainly haha x

Yeah I feel hungry at night because i don't go to sleep til quite late, and then occasionally when i wake up. However, once ive had my first pack it just disappears for the majority of the day. I'm the same, I do look forward to my packs because it's something to do? I've not done much at all...

Anyone else just not feeling hungry?

Definitely! I've just gone to the chemist & the bank...and then my sis dragged me into a retro sweet shop. Absolute hell...but I survived! :) and then they were handing out sweets in sainsburys and I was like "no thanks!" woo. X

That's great! Bet you're really happy! X

That's not good :( I'm always ill on my birthday/Christmas and it sucks. Hope he feels better! Try and enjoy your lazy afternoon xx

Hahaaaa!

So it's the end of day 10, and today has been a good day...minus a few heart palpitations but i think that's because I've been a bit anxious recently. Turned both of my shakes into pudding consistency and really liked it. Especially the vanilla caramel, for some reason I can't hack drinking it...

Fingers crossed for you too lovely! Xxx

Me toooo :( xxx

Thanks lovely xxx

Yeah! Sorry been at the cinema with my sis (again) :) feeling better now. Need a good nights sleep I think! Xxx

I get them occasionally, but I feel really anxious today and I don't know why. Been worrying about starting my placement next week :(

Love that idea!!!

I'm having really weird heart palpitations today :( xox

I like those 2! Nice summer dresses! Perhaps when I've lose some more weight :) x

Well I am a know it all! Oooh that's lovely! :) xx

Eughhhhhhh. I can't stand body odour! Bleughhhh. Sounds like a plan! I always find that Dorothy Perkins has some nice dresses :) x

Hahahaaa! I actually laughed out loud reading that! Don't be daft! You wouldn't look like one! Vom and poo are easy-ish to deal with. Same with wee. Haha! X

Hahaha not at all! Takes a lot to put my off my food :') you know...I can hack pretty much anything apart from snot, spit and smelly leg ulcers/wounds and grim toenails. Sorry! I've probably put you off your next meal now! Oops. Xx

Thanks, me too! Its pretty much guaranteed though...elderly patients :)

Aye! And in most cases you are! Boo :(

Yeah that happens with the pill, mine were always a lot more easy going when I was on Cilest but I came off it a couple of months ago (after a break up) *sigh* Hair loss?! Uh oh. For your sake I hope that doesn't happen. If it happened to me...I doubt I'd notice. Mines so thick! It's a...

Haha it's one of mine too! So funny. So rude! Yeah that's true! I'll be on my feet for 12 hours on Monday so I'm sure that's going to contribute to some kind of loss *fingers crossed* x

Yessss! There's a couple! :) this Tuesday might be a one off anyway (sorry to disappoint Laura!) All depends on my shifts :'(

I'm the same. Found it easy going today (so far). Because its now a routine im used to it and not thinking "ooooh I want *insert name of food that's not allowed*" :) well done on the loss, keep going! I'm hoping for a decent loss. A friend of mine lost 6lbs the first week then 9lbs the second...

Most probably :( can't get my head around using euros whenever I'm on holiday. Always try and covert it back like "what's that in £'s?" and it does everyone's heads in! Haha.

Alright okay, I give in :') was going to do it early and do it Sunday but I thought it'd be nicer to buddy up with you! Oh god yeah...she's too skinny for my liking. oh well, whatever tickles his pickle....

YES. I was going to tell you I was planning on weighing in Tuesday morning with you because im working super early on Monday. Now I'm having second thoughts! :P

Irma? Swear that's the name of the agony aunt in Cosmo magazine haha! Oooh claim to fame. Facially, I am much prettier. Not quite got her figure yet though...*thinspiration*

One of his finest xxx

I forgive you :) xxx

Gonna cry now :'( xxx

I have a poster of The Script....and what :') haha

Yeahhh shall do! :') I kinda get what you mean but.... Yum.

Don't mess with me Shivie :'( hahaaaa :D

Oooohhhh getting competitive are we? Hahaa! HES MINE! :P Shop til we drop! Or...drop (dress sizes) til we shop. (clearly not as funny as you Laura :( )

Shivie will have to let me know what the standard of Irish men is like though...they might all be rough as! Haha :D xx

Don't think I've ever got anything from there...maybe a cardigan. Their sizes are ridiculous! Aww I bet! I might hold out and see how much I've lost before I head to Dublin in September. Might treat myself to a new fab wardrobe and then go on the pull....find myself a Danny O'Donoghue...

Gosh I bet! My granddaddy was a doctor/surgeon and he used to say the amount of heel related injuries he saw was ridiculous. GUESS WHAT? I've ordered my euros 4/5 months in advance and I'm collecting them tomorrow. I had to or I'd have spent all the money by the time I got to Dublin.... X

Bring on Asos & Topshop too...might have to take out a loan for Topshop though. Pftttttttt.

I shall do! :) hahaaaaa! Food porn! I'm sure you'll get loads of compliments :) I can't wait to go shopping when I get down to 14 stone! X

Oooh that's exciting! I'm meeting an old friend of mine at Nando's a week on Friday...as long as I have a chicken breast & the salad as a side & drink coke zero...i should be fine right? I'll promise to take a picture of my meal and post it on here so I don't cheat! :)

So day 10! Made it into double figures woo. Made a crispy chocolate shake into a pudding type thing before and it was ok! Think I actually preferred it as a shake though :) just been invited out to lunch by my friends but I'm not hungry, I need to take my sis to her revision session at school &...

Good call on the flats! I wore some wedges on my first proper night out in Liverpool and regretted it for 2 weeks after. You always have a better time in flats, 100% sure of that! X

Yessss that's brilliant! What a relief you won't have to do crazy last minute shopping :D xxx

Thank you :) xx

VLCD Success Story - Alice Dudley Hey girlies! The new success story on the s&s is up and running! :) Night xox (You're all probably asleep unlike me...im a right night owl!)

I time when I'm going to have mine, it's so sad! :') you haven't cheated though so chin up...so excited we've made it to double figures almost! Xx

Buy some ketostix to find out? :) yeah just be sensible, and just think...you've done really well so far lovely! :) x

Yeah I agree! Don't give in to peer pressure :( x

Really straight forward then! Im so dim x

How do you make them into puds? I wanted to try before but didn't want to do it wrong & waste a pack x

I'll eat yours! I'm starvinggggg. Holding out for my chili later on. :(

I've been put off haha! Will stick to how they're meant to be! Thanks, you have a nice evening too xx

Ohhh lovely! Let us all know how it fits x x x

I shall consider it ;)
