They are distancing themselves from being a keto diet as they’re not at all. So I wouldn’t concentrate on that. Weight loss follows due to the restriction of calories alone really.

I've come out of retirement to say did you REALLY write the words 'baby daddy?!' See me in my office

We will be here !!!

No I'm a complete whale , honestly You've got a bloody excuse! Youre about to have a baby! But we will see you on the dark side shortly no doubt?!

We are all too busy eating chocolate aren't we? I'm here! On exante again as have ballooned to the size of a house. Ish. So back on the wagon How's tricks

Hello! Thanks for your comments No diary now, alas. I deleted it for reasons I can't quite recall now. I may start a new one at some point though

So cross with myself though ! And having doubts I can do this last bit . Annoying! How we all getting on?

Ah I did locate and destroy unfortunately. Fell RIGHT off the wagon last night for some reason. Decided I needed a bagel with peanut butter and it just went from there. Oops! So I'm 2lbs up this morning which is just bloody annoying. Back to it this morning with a product and some water. Go go...

Oh well done! What's your weight now? You've done incredibly well. What's the plan for maintenance? I find that the hard bit but have managed it for the past few years by being very controlled. Nothing feels better than a size 10 wardrobe and you'll be there soon

Ha ha. It's a lifetime passion of mine! All carefully kept in drawers. Saddo!!! Anyway good luck with today. I keep looking round my house and seeing the kids Easter eggs which still remain. Must be strong!!! It's a peanut Exante bar for me for lunch!

And I must have 150 lip glosses. I'm an addict heh heh

Oh yeah it's some collection alright .. Here's a small pic of some of my thirty foundations ..

Ooh well done on the graduation. If you ever want to talk make up, I'm your girl! I've got a collection worth thousands- my friends come over just to rifle through it all : ) Oh noooo re the not able to get into lipo. It happens though - if you're not there mentally you just can't do it. All...

What sort of diet are you planning Ava? I try and low carb where I can and I've been following some recipes in a book called 'Deliciously Ella' recent and they are indeed delicious! She has a FB page and blog too - well worth a look! I too am not going to return to the shakes. I use them as a...

Hi Ava how's it going? Still shaking? I've managed a full three weeks of shakes/ bars and I'm going to do a bit of a re feed this week - so two products a day plus a low carb meal. I've managed a 16lb loss in those three weeks and I've now got to try and maintain where I am now. Always tricky...

That's an excellent goal! I'm aiming for my wedding weight too but as I only got married 9 months ago I've really got no excuses! I've got the two kids however ! I've lost a total of 15lbs so far

Oh well done tiggy! Excellent stuff and a new stone bracket too! What's your ultimate goal?

Thanks for your kind words! Still here and still maintaining ... I've been strict for a few weeks and brought myself back in line

I don't have that issue with exante? They use DPD and will leave it for me if I'm not in and always next day delivery with an hour window. God I hate yodel with a passion! I have four products a day and have from more or less day 1. It keeps me on the straight and narrow and I don't think it...

Exante is good! I like it because the variety is massive

Hello ava you're backkkk! How's tricks ? I'm on a roll at the mo with exante - back to normal weight but always looking to shave off a few extra lbs! Jeans sound lovely

Hellooo! All going ok here re weight loss. I'm 13lbs down in total over the past two weeks so am quite pleased with that. I think I'd like to go for 5 more lbs which will make me feel more comfortable so I'm going to stick with this for another week As an aside, I've eaten four products...

Ooh well done WPW! It's my second official weigh in tomorrow so we shall see. Am hoping for 4lbs off which I should make fingers crossed

I'd love to reply tiggy but all I see is a blank space!

. . .

Welcome to the new girls! Another day and I'm a total of 10lbs down which isn't too shabby in 9 days, especially as I'm not 'officially' overweight. I quite like the Exante 'meals' as there is definitely more variety than say, Cambridge or SnS. They do upset my stomach a bit however! I'm...

Tiggy I can't see your messages !! Only in preview I've weighed in and have lost 8lbs so far

I can't see your messages either tiggy? Bit weird Another day and I'm a total of half a stone down. I've given up with the pizzas and I'm going to email the company because I cannot see how it is something I'm doing. I tried the pancakes today - very stodgy, very sweet, very filling so they'll...

I'd like to be back to the weight I was when I got married last August . Anniversary is a good goal! I was 9 St 12 when I got married and then just put on a stone or so through to non stop face stuffing. My problem is that I just love junk food like chips, cheese, chocolate and cakes. All the...

Hello all How are we doing ? Well done on losses so far As for me , I had a dodgy start but getting into it now. Down 5lbs so far with maybe another 11 to go. Actually LIKE the food! Although I tried four times to make a pizza today using the pizza mix, and four times I failed. Had another...

Are we supposed to eat on this plan? I just have three products a day. God I'm clueless

a potential 8lbs in a fortnight is a good loss - that's be 16lbs in four weeks if you followed the same pattern which is decent. I know what you mean though - we just expect to see a stone gone every other day! Day 3 dawns for me today. I just ordered 60 mixed products but only went for bars...

Hello! I'll join you! I started today. I'd like to lose a stone and because I'm uber impatient, I'd like to lose it as soon as possible! So day 1... I had a toffee, fruit and nut bar thing for breakfast. It was vaguely edible so that's ok. And for lunch I had a toffee caramel shake. I made...

I'm doing rubbish Ava ?

You're getting there Ava! You were 13 stone after Christmas so to be in the 11s is GREAT ! Keep going and the 10s will be here before you know it

Ooh well done laura! < puts down caramel egg > No running today as a break day. I'm going to get back to my strictness tomorrow ...

Yes I don't lose loads since I started running. Which kinda sucks. It's supposed to be dropping off! All that's happening is I get steadily more knackered

How's it going Ava

You're hardly enormous missie ! Me on the other hand! Ugh! I've bought a journal full of twatty inspirational quotes and I am going to write in it every day. Not my innermost desires, I hasten to add, but food intake, exercise taken and calories consumed / burnt Today is good so far! A 4k...

The good news- I ran 25 minutes today without stopping The bad - I ate a lot of chocolate

Oh shut it woman - you're upduffed and therefore extra weight doesn't count does it? 13st 5 is actually very good

Err missie - you forget I can see your fb pics and you're very slim I'm running a lot at the mo. Ten lbs to lose . Not today though as I'm eating my weight in cake right now Exciting Laura! I got married 6 months ago and love it! You'll get there. What's the starting weight ? How many weeks...

How's tricks? I'm doing ok. I've taken up running so am a speed demon most days now . Diet going ok - I'm just trying to cut down on portion sizes etc and it seems to be working.

Rolls in ....

I think you're completely inspirational and are doing so well. You're an absolute success story - you're making it happen right now! No excuses , no going back - you're full on exercising and you've got your eating under control. I had a weight problem some time ago and lost about 5 and a half...

How's it going Ava? All fine with me. I've been trying to up my running and , in solidarity, I'm being very strict with my food this week. Keep thinking of summer and all the lovely clothes?! I've got stacks all tucked away ready to be worn again. Right now everything is just tight and gives...

Well they look about right to me although the bra size is open to interpretation? I'm 5 ft 4 and just under 10 stone and I wear either 34D or 36C depending on make - I even have some E cup bras I think! The waist is about right as are the hips. I think with a concerted effort you could be...

Yes a decent dressmaker could alter it for you no problem at all. You can do this 20lbs though! You know you can!

Love it Ava How wide at the back? Can you show us? I'd be able to give a good guesstimate about how much more you'd need to lose to wear it comfortably It's a beautiful dress

How's things Ava? X

Thanks for all your kind words : ) Am still here and after a HEAVY Christmas of eating I've got some work to do! I'm back at the gym doing my running so that'll help. I'm about 6lbs over my target weight so nothing too bad. Food wise, I've been following the zoe harcombe plan for ages now...

You're doing great Angel! Keep going! Sorry to read of your recent troubles and fingers crossed all will be well I'm still here of course! Still at target - Err well, within half a stone of it anyway! - and just plodding away.

Oh Nooo Ava Come on girl! You've done this before and you can do it again. You just need to get the first week under your belt and then it becomes a lot easier You've still got loads of time to achieve your target... Just focus on each shake at a time and they'll soon mount up. Maybe try a...

You look fab! Love the outfit . You really carry extra weight well / you don't look overweight at all . Maybe you should revise your ultimate target? I did a 5k run today and am committed now to the diet!

Yo Ava - how's your weekend going

Ava I crashed too! Day one for me tomorrow again. I NEED to really concentrate now on this

Ooh that's a good loss. You'll be in the 11s within a fortnight and then it's downhill all the way! Keep planning that maintenance though ... It's crucial! Although I'm with you in the Wispa Golds! I've done ok so far. Doing my three meals a day, no snacks and very low carb. It's day 7 today...

I couldn't possibly comment ...

Here to follow kitty : ) I do love a good non moaning thread ; )

Looking good theria and here to follow ; )

It's always good to have support no matter what you weigh. Losing the weight is hard, maintenance is harder but being overweight is harder still. That's what I tell myself! I'm with ya all the way! Have a dress I want to wear comfortably at the end of January to a wedding reception. That's...

I do a mixture sometimes . I do find that I can go completely off the rails after a period of total abstinence from food though. God it's always complicated ! Ooh re the model competition. What a goal to aim for!

Lots of luck Nessa! I'm sure that you'll smash it this year

You did so well last time , you can deffo do it again that's for sure. Was it maintenance that stalled you? I always follow the zoe harcombe principles . The losses are identical to a VLCD but you eat loads. I do phase 1 quite often for five days and without fail lose 7lbs in those days. It's...

Hi Ava - good christmas? That's a stunning pic Did you fall off the wagon hard? It's so difficult isn't it? Christmas eating plus being unwell was a nightmare for me I need to lose 10lbs so got back to it a few days ago

Calling Ava!!!

Ah you're only small anyway ! Good luck with it all. I'm currently in the high 9s and have just done slim and save for the past week as I'm out of my comfort zone. I drop lbs quite dramatically when I stick to it so I'm sure you will too

You can't embark on a diet such as lipotrim and expect to work out for up to two hours a day - it's a VLCD and that doesn't work with OTT exercise How much do you weigh ? You could expect to lose up to 21lbs if you followed it to the letter for three weeks - a loss of a stone is probably a...

Hey Laura ! I've been mildly stalking and wanted to wish you all the best : ) Am SO glad that this is all behind me now hee hee

Definitely think about maintenance ASAP. It's the key to success. Losing weight is the easy bit ( err yeah --- doesn't feel like it at the time! ) I've struggled with maintenance for a few years now. I usually try and stay 9 stone something and panic and cut back if I go over that . There's...

Whatevs

Calling Ava!!!

I'm still vicariously living through your photos, to be honest heh heh

I wasn't confused. I'm assuming ( which is dangerous ) that you or your husband are Indian ? Or maybe Indian heritage?

God I am! And you're so slim. What ARE you talking about being on a diet?!?!

I've found ya ; ) Ugh I'm so FAT

And meeee

Add Leah and then I'll see from hers who you are and add you. I don't want to give my name out on here

Oh we are on Facebook! We moan all the time over there

Are you 8 stone now missie? How was the wedding? I lost the plot after line and have been on and off plans since then. Currently still trying to lose my usual 10lbs!

Heh heh there you are !

Hey Ava how's it going on maintenance?

Ooh well done Ava ! Brilliant job. Pic ?!?! I've lost 6lbs since Monday and it's been absolute torture. I'm going to stick with it until next Monday and then back to my maintenance plan which is being sensible Monday to Friday and no snacks - and relaxing on the weekend and having what I...

AMAZING! In 10lbs time you'll have lost what I actually weigh! Not only do you talk the talk but you walk the walk too : ) What do you plan to do for maintenance? That's the tricky bit!

Right - am back in the game! 3lbs off and day 2 on shakes alone ( eeekkkkk ) I'd like to be 9 stone by November 19th so am gritting my teeth and trying to get on with it! I constantly feel hungry though. Any tips ? ( although I know it's just a case of keeping on through it ) I wish I could...

Aaaaaaaggggggghhhhhhh Failed! Re start tomorrow Down in the dumps But go go Ava

Hola! Umm, weight wise I'm 9 stone mumble mumble..... So that's just under 10 then ... I'm not comfortable at this weight and my jeans are tight so I'm starting day 2 of SS with the hope to get to the end of it! One shake down and two to go. I've found a new dealer ( ; ) ) and she is...

I'm here!!! Can't seem to get myself banned : ) Ooh you're doing super well Ava! I'm back on SS today as I just can't stop ramming my face with chocolate. I'd like to lose these pesky 10lbs and then I'll be happy. My size 10 work shirts feel err ... Snug. So, I had three shakes today and...

Great going angel!

Go go Ava! Now , I may suddenly disappear and if I do I wanted to wish you all the best! ( I've had a pop at someone on another thread and will probably be booted off : ) ) On the other hand, I may still be around!

You're doing great so far Ava - really rocking this whole shake thing : )

Hey hey Managed a 100% day today! Fecking starving but still ... Roll on tomorrow !

Still here Ava! Well done on the loss , you're doing brilliantly ! I'm really struggling. Managed a 4k run again today and I'm trying to control food today so I've had a shake and a bar and will have another bar when I get home later. I'm not going to cave but feel like it right now! Blah...

That's why I stick to maintenance Angel - I worry about my health! Some things you can't prevent obviously but the things you can control , you should ( in my opinion ) ... Could you ask your husband to hide the scales between now and official weigh in?

Morning Ava et al! How's tricks? Skirt sounds nice- I have treated myself to a pair of Acne Pistol Boots and have told myself that I'm my allowed to wear them until I've reached my goal. As I'm desperate to wear them ... It's game on! Managed another 4k run this morning and have eaten a bowl...

I do a mixture of things. I'll have a protein bar later instead of a shake Tomorrow I will eat. Good fats, no sugar or carbs. I lose the same amount of weight usually. I have to eat if I run as a rule I'm 10st 4 I think. I feel ok but not entirely comfortable so I'll just keep focused for...

Well done angel! It's paying off for you once more! As you're a ' planner ' and love a project , I would start by researching maintenance plans . Honestly , this is the easy bit ( I know it doesn't feel that way ! ) and the keeping it off is a ball ache. I'd also keep a tight rein on your...

Back in the game! Morning all! Another run this morning and am one shake down. I think I'd like to lose a total of 10lbs , ideally by tomorrow. Failing that, I'll take 2 or 3 weeks. It's always harder when you're bear target or a normal weight isn't it? How are we all

Sat here with a bar of chocolate. Fail! However I did run 4k today and will do the same tomorrow - err no excuses ! I'm back in full effect tomorrow !! Brownie promise

I've got some Cambridge ones - mint choc and fruits of the Forest. Also have some slim and save ones knocking about somewhere too. A few days of hardcore is what I need instead of ramming Bounty Bars like someone has told me they're going out of fashion.

Fallen off the wagon but fit another run in yesterday! I'll be joining you tomorrow with a few days of shakes if you fancy company?

I wouldn't believe a word that's written in the Daily Mail by the way. I also don't subscribe to your opinion that sugar causes ADHD. My 7 year old has it and I'm not pink haired , tattooed , overweight or benefit claiming. I also have never bought a bottle of Golden Syrup in my life : ) I...

Well it's day 3 for me and so far so good. I've had half a pot of full fat natural yogurt with berries and pumpkin seeds for breakfast and feel pretty stuffed. It took a lot to convince me to try eating ' fat' ... We are conditioned to go for the low fat , low cal options aren't we? But I read...

I know it motivates me to see other losing and then maintaining and I like to show that although it's really difficult , it's possible. I never take it for granted though and work hard to stay within half a stone or so of where I feel comfortable

Me now , over two years after losing the weight

What plan are you following Goose? Refresh my memory I am following Zoe Harcombe because I have exactly the same losses on that as I do when I did Cambridge. I just eat three times a day and avoid carbs. It's just ... Rather dull ! Sometimes all you fancy is a big cake isn't it? I'm about 9...

I'm in! Started yesterday and need to lose 7lbs

I think CD is a great diet but like all others , it goes straight back on without a maintenance plan. I've been maintaining for over 2 years now and it's a killer. I just allow myself to get up to about ten stone and then I'm strict . And then I eat until I'm creeping towards ten ... And then...

Thanks all! Am still here and still maintaining - albeit badly at the moment. I'm up around half a stone from my usual happy weight so am back to full concentration over the next couple of weeks to get myself to where I like to be

I'm predicting you a 10lb plus loss this week

It's good to see you back. I knew you would be! Would it be useful to have a read back of your diary and pin point exactly where you started to waver last time and why? Might help you to put together a strategy to prevent it happening again. Anyway I admire anyone who doesn't give in. I'm...

Here she is! I knew you'd be back once your head was back in the game Good luck and fingers crossed for a good run up to Christmas As for me - still lurking and occasionally commenting on stuff. I'm still maintaining within the. 10 lbs I go up and down by. Currently cutting down to lose...

Hello. Well, I lost about 6 stone a couple of years ago, taking me from over 15 stone to 9 stone ish. I've maintained this pretty much and the loose skin has been minimal. My stomach is pretty bad and the very tops of my thighs aren't great but apart from that, it's fine. I wouldn't focus...

At the risk of sounding like a broken record , try zoe harcombe principles, don't snack between meals and stop eating bread and chocolate.

I'm here! And married now. Eekk! All went great and it's our weekiversary today heh heh How are tricks with you girls?

I really wouldn't think in terms of extra calories meaning you can now eat more chips etc Moderate carbs, no chocolate , not too much bread and up your vegetables. Don't snack. The weight would drop off

We kind of defected to the book of face. I'm currently 25 stone and Leah is similar. We are starting again tomorrow Oh and I'm married now

Hey girls! Stick with it Ava and the 9s will be there before you know it. A small tip - don't aim too low , it just leads to yo yo ing and an ability to maintain. I've been there. ! How are you goose ? Getting married on Friday. Not sure I really needed to buy 6 nail polishes to ' trial ' but...

How you both doing?

I'm 5 ft 4. When I go under 9 st 7 I don't look good. It can be really ageing to go too far plus it's almost impossible to maintain long term so I aim for a more realistic 9 st 7 ish and that is easier in terms of maintenance

Gosh goose. 8 stone something would make you very small indeed! I'm a size 8 to 10 at 9 and a half stone - how do you find maintaining such a low weight?

Ooh well done - 10st 5 is amazing. Another week or so and you'll be there! In the 9s. Yes am looking forward! Of course, having bought my dress and a shed load of new make up and perfume I'm now thinking I need more! Even though I own all the make up in the world. Can't beat a bit of therapy...

I had a huge long CD diary two years ago but had it deleted : ) I just tend to comment here and there when the urge grabs me. I mainly do a lot of lurking. What are your stats goose? I can't see on my ipad. How's the week going Ava?

Ooh 10 7 is nothing Ava. That'll soon be dropping off. I'm vegetarian goose so ZH is a challenge but it's a good solid eating plan for life really once you get past phase 1!

Oh and meant to say ... Am currently following the Zoe harcombe plan. It's absolutely ideal for when you first come off a VLCD as well because it's no sugar and low carb but super filling too. Have a google if you're not familiar

Just popping in to see how you're doing. Seems like a great start! Re the WW desserts, I wouldn't touch them with a barge pole. They're full of sh1t. Can you eat dairy ? A better - and nicer tasting ! - dessert would be thick, live natural yogurt with raspberries and a chunk of 85% chocolate...

Hello Goose. Well I've done various things but what works is as follows .. Three meals a day - I don't snack No bread or pasta ( I stick rigidly to this during the week and have what I fancy at weekends ) Strict Monday to Friday - see above re weekends And right now I follow zoe harcombe...

It is tough! I've been maintaining for two years now ( I did CD ) and have found it very difficult. I was over 15 stone in 2011 and an currently 8 stone 7 ish. I keep with four or five lbs of this as a rule. I have a wardrobe absolutely rammed with size 10s. There is no bigger motivator !

Day 5 of no sugar and officially last day of phase 1. I've lost 8lbs as of this morning! I'm seriously impressed with this - I think it's more than my initial first week loss on CD and I was overweight then. I'm now not overweight and still managed an 8lb loss - eeekkkkk Breakfast has been a...

Love the dress! You look amazing in it Well done on your successes so far. I usually lurk but wanted to say a big well done - oh and keep going! Not long now!

Day 4 of no sugar and I've lost 7lbs now! Today's menu Huge bowl of yogurt with cinnamon and seeds and puffed brown rice cereal 3 egg omelette with avocado, tomatoes and rocket Asparagus pan fried in butter with salad and seeds Oh and sparkling water ! About a litre

Love granola. Shame it's full of sugar: it's delicious though

I love it! I also stir in cinnamon and it's delicious. ( not delicious in a cake kinda way though )

The following is unlimited for five days Natural live yogurt Seeds Fish All non processed meat - chicken , beef , pork etc All veg apart from potatoes and mushrooms A 50g serving of brown rice per day if wanted Eggs are unlimited Tofu All salad And no - fruit , cheese , fizzy drinks or...

That's incredible stuff! I remain impressed! Yes it's all relative of course and it must seem like I can stuff my face and just stay the same. I can't. I'm pretty sure that the fat cells are all still there , empty, but there ... And as soon as I have a food splurge they start to fill up again...

Wow - you know Zoe? I'm impressed. I truly believe that she has the answer to the obesity crisis and despair when I read about the NHS recommending that people follow a low fat diet. It's just not true. Good fats and protein is the way to go but how do you convince people of this? I'm with you...

Oh I did the calorie counting thing too for months and although I lost weight on it - I felt rubbish. A diet heavy in pasta/ potatoes/ bread etc is no good for anyone. Moderation is the key I suppose Yes , ZH is strict. It's always a hard five days because you feel terrible as you starve your...

Hello. Your thread caught my eye and I thought I'd comment. Now, I don't have a weight problem ( now ) but lost almost 6 stone a few years back and reduced my weight from 15 stone to 9 stone - so picked up a few tips along the way. I'd try not to concentrate too much on calories right now. I...

Honestly LM, give it a go. It's just five days. It IS a total cut out of sugar but after five days you gradually re introduce carbs in the form of fruit etc I'm limited with it because I'm a vegetarian but you would be fine and have loads to eat

I had a headache on day one in the afternoon. There's no fruit allowed at all for the first five days Apart from that - fine! I've had a three egg omelette for lunch with loads of asparagus and having marinated tofu with butternut squash brown rice and red peppers for tea

I rarely post and mainly lurk but HAD to say a big WELL DONE to you. You've done something that not many people can manage and you should rightly feel hugely proud of yourself- it's nice to read a success story and I think you're incredible! . I did CD a few years back and have now maintained my...

Yes!!! Amazing eh? And I feel better on it to be honest. Cutting out sugar is hard though , have to say. Although I'm never hungry because I'm eating loads. Check out Zoe harcombe phase 1.

Heh heh - now that'd be good! Well I'm amazed! Day 3 for me today so had a weigh in this morning and I'm 6lbs down. In 2 days?!?! And I'm not even officially ' overweight' according to the charts. ( I am chubby in person though! ) Day has started with a huge bowl of yogurts with a few...

Dinner was asparagus , brown rice , tofu and peopers. Surprisingly nice but the cravings are immense tonight. Zoe harcombe assures me of a 7lb loss in five days . She'd better bloody deliver !

Day two of no sugar So far I've had Yogurt with seeds Omelette with peppers and tomatoes Dinner will be asparagus pan fried in butter Oh and water ! How bloody dull

It really sounds like gallstones if food is bringing on an 'attack' Either that or IBS possibly? I'm not sure I want to do the shakes again. Or the protein bars. That's been my fallback plan since I lost all the weight and I use them to maintain I suppose. I'm going to really try and stop...

Yes the link to dodgy health and vlcd's wouldn't and doesn't surprise me I've decided to give the sugar free thing a go so today's menu comprised of the following .. Natural live yogurt with seeds A green fruit free smoothie: now , this was bloody hard to get down. Seriously yak worthy. It...

That does sound like gallstones. But you're very young for them. No idea what mine is.. Fed up with it. It doesn't hurt at all right now - mildly uncomfortable maybe. And poor you cherl. God we are falling to bits What do we think about sugar free diets ? Have a look ... I'm wondering if it...

Oh no cherl! What are your symptoms?

Hmm - not sure ? I've had pain - low down, right hand side for a few months now on and off. On Tuesday it was horrendous though - I was hot and cold and and threw up - worse was the pain though. I ended up in an ambulance - so bloody embarrassing. They thought it was ovarian - but a scan shows...

I'm back. Been ill in hospital so diet been rubbish We all need to weigh in and be accountable Oh god only about 20 odd days until I get married. I've got to lose ten lbs Can I do it ?!?! How are we all

You summed it up We are sh!t And Missie is missing in action. Or missing in cake. One of the two! I've had a nutriblast today so far which comprised of spinach, strawberries, blueberries and beet root. I'll have a protein bar at half one. Trying to up the water God it's depressing

< rolls in > Ugh. Fat. And only 23 days to go Failed yesterday: ok I shall post everything I have today !!! COME ON! Off to catch up

Morning all Well my loss last week was ... Precisely nothing. Zip. Zilch. Nada. This possibly has something to do with copious amounts of chocolate. And cake. So - I start again today with 10lbs to lose. I've got 24 days to lose these 10lbs - and anything on top of that would be a bonus ...

I'm very fond of apple pie!! Wine I can take or leave which is a blessing really Today is going so so. I've had two protein bars and a small bowl of strawberries, blueberries and pear. Probably 450 cals for day so far. Dinner will be mushroom soup Can't give in now but finding it tricky. I'd...

What's your weight now cherl? I nearly caved today. The day looked like this ... Protein bar Cottage cheese with fruit Protein bar And then ... I found myself making crackers and cheese and thinking about the curly wurlies in the tin... As I buttered the first cracker, thinking ' I'll...

How are you LM ? Sticking to it?!?! Missie !!! We know you're reading

Another lb down. Weekends are always tough for me. I just want to eat eat eat so these two days will be a challenge to say the least. Might try my dress on again in a mo and see how it's fitting now I'm a few pounds down.

Yes Well sort of. It's more a general feeling of misery as I try to overcome the need for chocolate But I just can't be married and feel chubby. I know I'm not some huge heifer but it's all relative isn't it and how you feel in yourself

I'm being super hardcore and a day consists of ... Home made smoothie Protein bar Cottage cheese and fruit Protein bar ... And that's it. I'm not going to cave this weekend - that's my problem time ! And I am going to lose another 7lbs and then I'll be where I need to be. You're...

7lbs down in four days. It's almost killing me 7 more to go ...

The only way to do it is a vlcd such as Cambridge. That'll knock off half a stone in a week if not more The alternative is to accept that you're fine as you are:) Sent from my C6903 using MiniMins.com mobile app

For f uck sake Eat eat eat eat Tomorrow LM I'm with you Oh god I get married in about 39 days. I have to lose 12 lbs

Hello cherl. Of course you can but don't expect anything in the way of motivation right now. Because we appear to be ***** BUT NO MORE! I am back in full effect tomorrow. Oh and I mean it this time

God knows? I'm hanging on by the skin of my teeth here. I think I've lost 4lbs this week but not sure until I weigh. The only thing keeping me going is the thought of dress shopping tomorrow. The nutribullet is V good by the way! I have found a good smoothie to make and it actually keeps me...

39 days?!?! Have they added 9 days to it ? Heh heh Ok so it's 53 days until I get married and I have GOT to stop tossing about with this and get on with it. I ate a lot of chocolate at the weekend and chocolate tarts with ice cream. Oh and more chocolate for good measure. Pizza too . Today I...

How old are you Missie by the way? I'm assuming you're in your 20s?

Hmm I shall research Botox more in depth Well I failed big style yesterday. And predictably woke up with stomach pains this morning. I get this a lot and I'm convinced it's because I shovel food in at midnight ... Crackers with cheese followed by chocolate and ice cream is bound to have an...

Whoa there!!! Botox?! You had Botox? How old are you? I'm 42 and haven't gone for it yet. Does it make a difference? I'm very unsure about this stuff but interested too

Failed yesterday. Two products down today and trying trying trying !!!

Well I've started the day with half a litre of water and a protein bar. I'll have a shake at 1.15 before I leave for work and I'll.have another bar at work around 5. And that WILL be that! I've.been thinking about cheese and crackers and mint magnums. These are obviously my new drugs of...

Still 12 lbs down. Not fair. I wanted another 1lb off today. Rage rage. Hopefully it'll come off tomorrow. What's new girls?

Evening all. Another day ends and I've managed to be 100%. That's day 6 of CD done and dusted. It's definitely the fear of my holiday in 11 days ( oh god shriek!! ) that's doing it. It's giving me the horrors for sure. Anyway, since the start if this diary nearly four weeks ago now, I'm 12lbs...

A new pic taken the other week. I'm proud that I'm still here almost two years after losing the weight. Just dig deep, tape your mouth up in the evenings when you're craving chocolate and take.more baths. Honestly - you can do it Sent from my C6903 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Thanks guys! Am still here and still maintaining - I'm just at the end of a drive to drop a few lbs... I've got a holiday coming up and was 10lbs over where I feel most comfortable so I'm being super strict again for now. What seems to work best for me is being strict during the week and then...

How odd! And quite fascinating. Of course, with my sane head on, I'm wanting to ask ' why not just eat half an avocado and some cottage cheese? ' but I've no room to talk right now. I'm quite interested in reading about it as I like to keep up to speed with all the diets out there. I had a...

They're ok. They do the trick anyway I suppose . I'm on day three now. Boring and dull. Painfully so. I'm on it though !!!

Well I've had a cd bar and a shake and .... A new cambridge thing! It's called a bonus bar and you can have one a day. It's no Mars bar but it'll do. I'll have another ( proper ) bar at work later and then that'll be me done. I've not really put weight on after my good loss the other week...

Go for it missie. How cheap is it? I've caved and had a delivery from my crack dealer aka Cambridge. Completed a day yesterday and onto day 2 today. I've bought a two week supply to see me up to my holiday, more or less Sent from my C6903 using MiniMins.com mobile app

I would say that if you're normally regular then you're not pregnant. Symptoms don't usually begin immediately as you know but the only way to be sure is to whip a stick out !

I usually do a lot of spin but not right now because I don't have the energy. My job is physical and that'll do for now. Hmmm ... Bowels you say? Not really but then I'm lucky in that I'm not usually affected that way. ( touch wood! ) I know it's really common though. What issues are you...

The 11 st 2 is just because you're bloated LM - it'll soon go! I'm already thinking about my first proper food on Saturday morning.

Morning girls and hello to day err 11? I'm now 10 and a half lbs down. Really struggling though now. I want to stop. I'm still aiming to keep going until the end of this week. That's only one more day after today and then I'm going to start Saturday with some actual food! I'll still be here...

Morning 10lbs down today! Limping on towards Saturday and some real food! Still feel ok in myself - bit tired, bit cold and bleeding gums. I'm pretty sure that's down to this diet! I'm feeling better in myself though in terms of feeling slimmer again so that's good. To celebrate I spent too...

It's.not killing me literally but im finding it extremely difficult. I don't cook LM! I just assemble things together as a rule, but I maintain usually on a diet of porridge / berries / natural yogurt / almonds for breakfast. Stir fries for lunch or salad and feta etc and dinner is veg or...

God this is doing me in Roll on the weekend and food!! 2 bars and one shake as per. I'm hoping to see another loss tomorrow

Well done. Stay positive! This may or may not resonate with you but the key to success is to try not to think in terms of ' days off plan and days on plan... ' It's taken me years to accept that and it's been the key to keeping the weight off for me. I was 15 stone 2 in 2011 and I've...

Morning all Well it's official weigh in day! Am 8 lbs down which is pretty good but I'd hoped for 9. Still, considering I dont have absolutely loads to lose it'll have to do. I'm very very bored of this though and god alone knows how I'll manage until Friday. I've started the day with a...

Missie - your message yesterday said something about raising 40 ... I was confused as to what you meant. Or are you just on glue or something? ; ) ; ) Ooh 3lbs loss . Something has gone right this week then for sure! Is that official weigh in ? My official weigh in is going to be Monday as...

What does raising 40 mean?

If you are genuinely having three products a day then yes, the weight should be dropping. If the three sugars was a one off, that wouldn't have affected anything. Neither would carrot or celery. I'd consider new scales. However I remember the time I bought new scales years ago. Stood on them...

Can you list a typical day Missie? We will then be able to pin point the issue I've lost 6 lbs according to the scales this morning. I've just had two shakes and one bar a day though since Monday so it's hardly surprising as I'm living on 600 calories a day if that
