I must have tried every diet under the sun, from Cabbage Soup right through the alphabet and back to Cambridge. Getting the weight off was no trouble at all compared to keeping it off. Low Carb diets were the worst, as soon as I started eating again the weight piled on rapidly and although I...

Blimey! I wish I'd been out shopping with you, I love the chicken but can't get it for love nor money where I am. I've tried the new vegetable though, didn't find it as good as the tomato or chicken

Hello! Welcome, I'm fairly new too. Best of luck. I find this forum really friendly and have had loads of support & advice

calling Blue Grapefruit... .... Tell mam that I did my training at the Infirmary in 1969! Then I was at the Heath for a little while as a staffnurse. I'd have PM'd you bach, but I don't have enough credits yet.

An amazing 4lbs loss and that is with having to go out to several ‘bits of a do’ I am delighted. I decided to go down the low fat road on the days I wasn’t doing SF. My son rang at the beginning of the week (he is dead against low carb diets saying they do more harm than good) I told him what I...

Yes I had this problem, a bit light headed and dizzy. I had extra water and made sure I had my snacks, as busylizzie has suggested and it went by the end of the first week. I too have a huge amount to lose, don't give up it gets better and if we just take a stone at a time it doesn't seem such a...

Many thanks KD. It is going to be very difficult this week, we have so many engagements that all I can hope for on the days I don't have to go out somewhere, is 'damage limitation'

I didn't know either Karen! I heard about it on here a few weeks ago, there's a good thread on it on the general diet forum. Basically it stands for Up day Down day II've forgotten the name of the doctor the J stands for!) You diet for 1 day, eat normally, 3 meals a day without going mad, then...

The more the merrier. I'm on week 3 and going strong. It's lovely to have some new names on here.

Morning FF, and thanks mini have cut and pasted to send to my friends. Game on again, the past is behind us and we're all up for a good loss next weigh in

Never tried it before but we have such a lot on this week, and with only losing a pound last week, I don't want to fall off the wagon. Today, Wednesday and Friday is SF for breakfast and then try and pick something healthy out of the menu when we are out Tuesday Friday &Saturday SF. Sunday...

Only a pound off for me this week, but better than a pound on. Well done Ugg and FF! Hang in there everyone, we'll do it!

I've a lot to lose too. As well as the water, if you get really ravenous and are seriously likely to be found face down in a bag of doughnuts clean your teeth. I find that helps no end. Best of luck Karen. I've had wonderful support on here they are such a friendly bunch.

You've come to the right place. Welcome. I'm sure you'll get all the support you want.... 10lbs...? NO PROBLEM!

Down 8lbs... Delighted!

I'm certain that you'll do it easily. Best of luck

What a wonderful weight loss BellyFlop! well done. Have you considered changing your name to Nobelly:D?

Just think though, what you would have eaten if you hadn't been on SF. I'm sure you made good choices yesterday.

Good luck Buffy and keep us posted

We'll all be reporting blips before we've finished love! It's how we handle them that matters and you've not given up have you? You'll have a good loss by Friday never fear.

You'll do it never fear... 6 weeks, that's penty of time. Have a good day today, I'm facing a basketful of washing.

Thanks for the encouragement everyone. Yesterday (day 1 ) wasn't as bad as I thought, but then, we are always so virtuous on the first few days of a diet aren't we! I know what you mean Angie, I've had clothes like that; lables on them for years and me still hopeful of getting into them. Yes...

Thanks Bussy Lizzie I suddenly realized that everyone is so encouraging and friendly on here and I haven’t told you anything about myself! Here goes: I’m in my (very) late 50’s married 33 years and have a grown up family who have all flown the nest. I’m a retired nurse and hubby is a retired...

Day 1 of my road to a new me! Feeling up, confident, and determined. Just hope it lasts. I got a skirt out of the wardrobe this morning, it fitted last year but won't go near me now. I'm going to use it as a yardstick. I don't intend (but having siad that, have no will power) to weigh until...

Never mind Ice! You've got ot out of your system, a cheat ( or as my old granny used to call it... a blowout) is allowed now and again. Hope you can get at a computer this coming week because I enjoy your posts.

Well I've always said that there's no such thing as a wrong diet. What works for one might not work for somone else. Look at the Cambridge and Atkins... both considered faddy but both have had super results and thousands have people have kept the lost weight off by educating themselves to cook...

Third time lucky ice, you'll do it. I'll be joining you first thing monday morning.

Johnson Upday Downday Diet Click on above if you are like me, and never heard of it Do you think it would work with SF? Is it too good to be true?

I'm off to the dentist this morning so will pop into Tesco/Sainsbury's/ASDA etc and see what I can fing in snack bars and those hunger pot thingies ready for my start on Monday. I would have started earlier but it is my birthday tomorrow and I don't want to spoil my family's day by refusing...

Congratulations! I'm sure you'll get a load of weight off by August.... now if only we could be as sure about the weather!

I would like to lose 7lbs as this is my first week., and if I can lose 12 in the first month I will be over the moon. I have no will power at all so will need all the support I can get.

Blimey! What a lovely friendly forum! I feel at home already. I'm aiming for about 7 lbs in week 1 and take a steady 2 stones off at between 2-3lbs a week, then go for another stone when I've achieved that. To be honest, I need to lose 5 but so as not to get discouraged I'm doing it in realistic...

Gave up smoking 3 years ago and my weight has shot up! I'm getting to the ludicrous position where it is getting to be an either or: Keep on as I'm doing and risking heart problems or take up smoking again and risk heart problems and cancer! I've looked at several low carb diets and the nurse...
