You look amazing angel!! i too drank more then i should have on my planned time off, but it was so much fun! no regrets there! You are doing so well xx

Hello! oh i had an amazing weekend, so lovely to spend time with my little one. i miss her so much when im working/at uni. Shes turning into such an amazing little person, im very proud to be her mummy! Food wise, well it was hard to make good choices! but i definatly eat less then i would...

Haven't had a chance to say well done for getting straight back on it after your weekend away! Fab news xxx im worried about the steps, I went up to step 3, thought yeah I've got this sussed! Maintained for 6 months then let it slowly creep back on! I think this time I need to make more...

Oooh I do love your musings flic! The psychology behind weightloss/gain/maintenance is so interesting to me! Keep them coming! How funny I tried some old clothes on today too! Really helped with a little motivation boost! Xx

Hey Tano! good luck with the ivf! Just did a placement in gynaecology and learned a bit about ivf, I hope this round is a big success, keep me posted! Xx

Hey my lovelies! Sorry ive been so absent, handed in my essay today, feel free!! this last week has been... Well terrible. Been picking at food most days.. No actual meals and I haven't bought any food, just jasmines leftovers.. I guess after another 1lb I just lost motivation. I'm...

have a lovely time hun! my fave is the first dress, think it really flatters you and you can never have too much bling! (well, you can, but this isnt too much at all!) xxx

thanks hun, i know your right but it is so frustrating! But, my cdc thinks im not having enough... i work shifts, run around after a 3 year old, study and although dont actually exercise i suppose i have a fairly busy lifestyle (never really thought i did but writing it down makes me think...

:( 1lb again. Slogging my bum off for 2lbs in 2 weeks. Will update properly later when on the laptop! X

Hey lovely, thanks for thinking of me! things are good, i'm off shifts and back to uni tomorrow which im looking forward to. spent the last few days working on a 4500 literature review which is making my brain hurt! all good on the diet front, except im not drinking enough again... its so...

Heya! I too lost weight with Cambridge and put some back on, so I know the feeling! I think think with this diet it's really important to have your head in the right place, it's very hard, and you've got to have that motivation. But you can find it! Imagine how you'll feel at target, all the...

I love that second pic of me! I spend the ages of 17-22 feeling and looking old. And acting old! And it's all because I was bigger and had no energy, in that second pic I felt my age and I look young! That was me at around 12 stone, and I've lowered my target this time to hopefully get a big...

who wants to see my before and afters from 2012?!

Flic your so close now! soon enough it will be less then a stone to go! xx

love that wallpaper! gorgeous living room! You should see mine at the end of the day after a 3 year old has had free reign... Literally like a bomb went off!

oh definetly. one of my majoy downfalls was getting home from work, knackered, and eating crap cause i couldnt be bothered to cook from scratch. Another is not taking lunch to uni and buying it out. And just generally snacking on rubbish because its easy! But i love healthy foods! i really...

Thanks lovely ones! yeah i agree, im not too fussed with the 1lb. i remember in 2012 i had a few weeks of just losing 1, but it never lasted! i was losing 3 and 4lbs right up until goal, so that thought is keeping me going! Also i really needed a wee when i got weighed too which probably wasnt...

I have a dinner and drinks night with the uni girls mid december, and will have turkey and veg christmas day, but depending on what step im on that will be it! I was at target christmas 2012, and i didnt enjoy myself at all! i could eat what i wanted, but was so paranoid about putting weight on...

Well only 1lb this week, but im ok with it! i know ive been sticking to it, and i did lose 6 last week, so its all good! Got a weekend away to devon coming up with 2 friends and all our kids! its Halloween weekend. I'm going to stick to the plan as much as possible but there will be dinners out...

i'm doing well! no slip ups, but i did have a can of salmon last night as i was soooo hungry! however it was only 200 cals and had 0 carbs in, so im happy with that choice. Getting weighed tonight so will let you know how it goes! am hoping for something around the 3lb mark, fingers crossed...

well hello there!! that 7lb loss was amazing!! oooh secret eating... or in my case not really secret. being a single mummy i have noone around to judge me... so takeaways were mine down fall. would order loads (because you have to order £10+ to get free delivery- therefore its not my fault i...

been a bit absent so just popping by to say your doing so well!! you will definitely wow your cdc im sure. xxxxx

See if i drink out of a glass i leave loads, so im buying bottled water now, and i do actually drink it woo! seems like a waste of money buying bottled water but if it makes me drink i will take the hit! sooo... 6lbs this week!! Very happy with that. i was hoping for a big loss, as i only...

I'm hoping for the next stone bracket tonight!! Whats your ultimate goal flic?

yay thats amazing!! well done you! do you have the hairy bikers cooking book? Its low cal and really really good! highly recommended xx

in 2012, in my second month of cambridge i only lost 9lbs, but then went on to keep losing 3 and 4lbs right up until goal! So try not to be too disheartened about the 1lb. sleep deprivation, water retention and other things can show on the scales, i'm sure next week you'll have a big loss!

ohhh i love getting glammed up! that dress is gorgeous! we must have pics when your all dressed up xx

i find h&m sizes small too! apart from weight goals, what is everyones size goals? I got down to a size 12 and was really happy! im quite tall, so a size 12 for me is quite slim. But this time im going to tone up too, even though i was at my goal weight i still didnt like my flabby tummy and...

your being 100% so you WILL be losing weight. its science, you are burning more then you are taking in so you have to be losing! try not to let the scales take over, they will catch up eventually, but you should be so proud of yourself regardless of what the numbers are xxx

weyhey well done! ohhh hotel brekkies.... such a great excuse to eat EVERYTHING haha. Yes your right it does come in waves, and you know what, being hungry...is ok! it doesnt kill us does it? its not the worst thing in the world?! but why does it feel like that when we are eating 'normally'...

am really on it today! 1ltr of water down so far (i know its a bit late in the day but i will do 2.5!) and have had 3 products. Got a lovely bottle of fizzy (water haha) and another pack for this evening once Jasmine's in bed. It's shifts where i struggle, trying to learn and work is so hard...

haha old school midwives say 'pizzas are delivered, babies are birthed' so we say caught! sometimes you really do have to catch though! sooo had my weigh in and 2lbs off this week... bit disappointed but actually, i understand it and im ok with it. I have not had nearly enough water this week...

Well done for resisting! I always think chip shop chips smell amazing but then after about 5 chips they are just greasy and samey. I actually find with a lot of the stuff I crave, it's always a million times better in my head then what it really tastes like, a sign of emotional eating I guess x

Thanks hun, last one tonight! Yaaayy! Can't wait to sleep tonight! Dont worry about your meal out- make good choices and enjoy it, then get straight back on it! And you'll be fine :) think even if you had a 1000 calorie dinner, with the packs your probably only totally 1500 and you'd still...

Ammmaaazing loss!! This has cheered me up on what is an exhausting shift! Im a planner too, I can't wait to get back to Uni a stone or so lighter in a couple of weeks! Then I have a little holiday with jasmine to Devon for Halloween where I will be taking her swimming loads so will be nice to...

Hey willpowerwoman! First week was fine thanks! And actually it's all going well, feeling very determined! Youll smash your target I'm sure! Flic, These night shifts are a killer! Don't know when to eat, not drinking enough, absolutely knackered! Yesterday I did an 11 hour shift without a...

My weekend is night shifts boo!!

I think we are harder on ourselves as restarters. for me, I never thought I'd put 3st back on. The amount of hard work it took to lose it... And then I ruined it!! And now I'm here again! It doesn't feel as good losing weight this time. I mean, it feels great! But it's mixed with a feeling of...

Wow well done!! I hope my losses are as good as yours! I love how determined you are, reminds me of me the first time I did this (I'm just as determined this time but it's a bit bitter sweet because if I was sensible the last time and kept my determination longer then just weightloss then I...

do whatever your body tells you lovely! if you need to eat, some eggs/chicken arent gonna stop any losses xx

i just have this feeling its not going to be anything like real rice pudding and this might make me sad! x

thinking about it, this year might be eaiser for me. 2012 xmas i had just finished Cambridge and was free to eat! but i didnt enjoy it, i was so worried about gaining, so maybe it will be better to have a bit of structure over the festive period. We are gonna be so smug when january 1st rolls...

Totally agree Flic, and coming from someone who lost 5st but gained back 3, i can totally say maintenance is where the hard work will really start! its a shame it took 3st for me to really understand that, but oh well! whats done is done. Am def gonna give hypnotherapy a go after ss i think...

i only have choc tetras and bars! i went totally off the powdered stuff... but am thinking maybe i should give the soup another go... has anyone tried the rice pudding? (there is rice pudding right? or did i totally make that up?!) x

thanks hun! i really hope so. worked out i need to lose 3.5lbs a week to get to goal in 11 weeks.. i think that may be being a bit optimistic though, i know the losses slow down, but nice to have it in my mind as a goal. ooohh monday! thats good though, keep you motivated over the weekend...

7.5lbs woo!! whens your weigh in day? i remember when i did sw many years ago i would celebrate my weight loss with a takeaway! no logic... xx

Hey! how funny i just posted about my motivation weight in my diary, or as i think i called it my 'oh crap really need to do something' weight! you are doing so well! its weird when im on CD i love to watching cooking programs, or anything about food! and i often have dreams im eating and...

weyheeeyyy first week 7.5lbs down! very happy with that, i was hoping for 6lbs (well, i would have been gutted with anything less then 6 actually haha) so 7lbs is perfect! still 14st 3.5 but its a start. maybe i'll be in the 13's next week?! am trying the lemon yoghurt bars tomorrow, they didnt...

thats the plan. im gonna ss until im at target really. well maybe leave half a stone to move up the steps. if i lose a stone a month i could pretty much be there in 3 months, but im not sure its gonna fall off as easily as it did the first time! i was done and dusted for christmas last time i...

i had my one at 21 so am hoping the same happens to me! knowing my luck she'll stay at home untill shes 35! Actually im the same, when its all new and im super motivated its easy, but give it a few weeks and i know its gonna be a struggle! but hey, we have done it before, we can do it again xx

have come to have a nosey at your diary! well done for the first days. keep on trucking xx ps wish my social calander was like yours haha. mine consists of disney princess films and peppa pig... kids suck ;)

weigh in tomorrow eeek! angelupnorth, im finding it surprisingly easy so far! but then its still a novelty really. i just hope its a quick process, not sure i could deal with 1lb losses for more then 2 weeks in a row! oooh good luck with it! Well i went from 16st 13 to 11st 10 in just 5 months...

weigh in is tomorrow afternoon eeek!! so i will let you know! Yes i got down to 11st 10 and a size 12 (which makes it so annoying- i was there at my goal, and i threw it away! ah well, no point dwelling) This time im going for 11st 7, just to see what i look like really! i have a mummy tummy...

You sound so determined! you can do it, i believe so much of weight loss is in our heads, and if you have the right motivation and will power you will be well away! Good luck! i'm re starting Cambridge to lose 3 stone, am on day 3 and its fine! yes im hungry- but im not dying. i have a sneaky...

Good luck! I'm in a similar position, restarting to lose the 3st ive put on! i also started in 2012 and now its time to properly finish this xx

Wow its so weird reading this thread! Like a little insight into my life that i had forgotten was so life changing! So...i'm back. with my tail between my (fatter) legs. That date i mentioned turned into a year long relationship! But am now single again and happy! Not sure if i mentioned it...

Lost them 2lbs and 1 more! the skinniest ive ever been again :) i like it. So im 11st 10, and think i might adjust my target to 11.7... its still coming off quite nicely, and im happy for it to come off slowly now, so will probably stay on step 4 until im 11.7... might even go to 11.5 so i...

You can do it! Just gotta get your head back in the game :) X

Sorry I've disappeared! Been hiding... Not been a good week! I put on 2lbs whoops... am still in my target range so not a complete disaster. No real excuse, went out and drank lots then picked on chocolate for a few days after. but I have drawn a line under it and am starting again! on step...

Just got bra measured, gone from a 40GG to a 34E! Woo x

Thanks guys :) well I STS this week, and I'm very happy to do so! After all that alcohol, bread etc im very happy with that. As I said before i would be happy to get down to 11.7 but ultimately if I maintain this weight I will be happy! .... For now haha!

Well this weekend was so much fun! Not the eating or drinking part- the dancing and socialising and dressing up and feeling confident! Friday I had 3 shakes then 3/4 of a turkey sandwich, 4 biscuits and a handful of chocolate buttons saturday I had a cd bar, a chicken and new potato salad...

You better upload some pics of you all dressed up!! I had a weekend off plan too. Worried for Thursdays weigh in! X

That's amazing Marie well done you! Im sure you'll have an amazing loss, keep us updated! X x

Where are you hiding Niki?! X x

Right, so... Target!!!!!!! *victory dance* am so happy! I've done it! Now the hard work begins... i feel like a Cambridge sales person cause anyone that asks about it I tell them to get on it! Haha. has been an awesome journey. Highs and lows... once I have worked up the steps I'm gonna...

I'm at goal girlies!!!! X

I'm at goal!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lost 3lbs :D have finally done it! Will do a proper update later but yaaaay! X

Guys.... I'm at my target!!! Lost 3lbs this week. christmas target- done! ultimate target- done!!!

You are working out regularly so probably that! Or water retention? Ultimately with the amount of cals your having and amount your moving you can't not lose fat! Boo the the scales! Hang in there, you are doing so well x

Don't know if you can see my signature but I only lost 9lbs in month 2. It was a hard month to deal with, butttt I'm sure it will pick up again for you! I've now lost 5st in 21 weeks, and 2 weeks ago I lost 4lbs! So the losses are still there weeks down the line. Dont give up, just roll with...

How was your weigh in?! X

Thank you! X

Hey Tbag, thanks! Can I have a link to her diary please? Am obsessed with reading about maintanence at the moment! 3 days to go... think we will have to have a mini party if I get to goal. i bet this will be the first week I sts or gain!!! I will be fuming hahaha x

Ah the time will pass anyway, you may as well be losing weight as it flies by! Eeee I hope so. Might weigh myself on Tuesday before college and have a sneak peak... Naughty, but I sooo wana see 11 something on them scales!

Hope you had a wonderful night lovely!! Pics pics pics !! X

I remember you! You were big inspiration to me when I first started in July, now just 1lb to go! It's amazing you have maintained, what was your diet like these past few months? Glad your feeling better! X

Sinead I remember you from the beginning of my weight loss! so glad your back :) x

Your not being selfish, your trying to avoid all temptations which is good! saying that though, you could go. You could take a bar/tetra to dinner and drink fizzy water. I've done it before, and truthfully... I didn't enjoy myself lol but sometimes we make sacrifices for our friends right...

It will get easier Hun! I promise. Just get through the next hour, then day, then week. i have moments of pure hunger (although its not hunger, it's just a craving) and at first I worried it will last forever and it's not worth it. But it does go- just chug water, try to distract yourself. Have...

Everything you have said rings so true with me :) except its easier for me cause I'm a single mummy so don't have to cook big dinners for anyone else. You sound like you really want this, like i did, so you will do it. I really believe a lot of weight loss is in your head, you have to really...

You might have a few random weeks of only losing small amounts. In 20 weeks I have lost 1lb twice and 2lb a few times too. But always followed by a big loss the next week! Please keep motivated and focused, take it on the chin and keep powering through. It's so worth it i promise :)

I haven't told anyone apart from my family who are super supportive. lunch out.. Hmm tricky one. To be honest i have just avoided meals out, but understand thats not always possible. if they are a good friend would they understand if you sat there with a bar or tetra? In 20 weeks I have had 2...

Thank you! Noticed you only have 1st to go! Not long now! X x

Thank you! Don't mind you asking at all, I have been on ss for 20 weeks and have lost 1lb shy of 5st :) x

Yep that's right, I'm 1lb away from goal so this is my last week before I start moving up the steps! very exciting! I want to treat this week like my first week, back to basics, chugging loads of water and weeing non stop haha! Last few days have been hard, I've been picking at food. I've...

Right, well I lost... 2lbs! 1 tiny little pound to go!!! Can't believe I'm so very nearly there! so I can officially say this is my last week on ss! gonna try and make it like my first, totally 100% and loads of water. As of next week im on 810 for 2 weeks, then 1000, 1200 and 1500 for 2...

oh yes, gonna work up the steps 2 weeks on each one, then calorie count. Might dabble in intermittent fasting to maintain but only once i feel confident that I can maintain my loss and I understand better how many calories my body needs. I totally know what you mean about the clothes, it's...

Think I'm starting to believe you now :D x

Yes I remember you commenting at the beginning too! It feels like its happened very quickly for me too, and the last stone has shot off (surprisingly!) yep, it's my last ever week on ss this week! Then moving up 2 weeks at a time, then calorie counting. Might even lose a few more pounds doing...

Lost 2lbs! 1 till goal!!!!!!! Yay x

Lost 2lbs! Only 1lb to go! X

Lost 2lbs! Only 1lb till goal! Yaaaay! tweekedgirl - (1lbs lost, 4lbs to go) newandhappyme - 17lbs (7lbs lost, 10lbs to go) lucynewmum - 10 lbs (0lbs lost, 10lbs to go) Dextersmum - 14lbs (0lbs lost, 14lbs to go) Clanger72 - 4lbs (0lbs lost, 4lbs to go) JuneyMoo - 7lbs (4.5lbs lost, 2.5lbs to...

Hey Tbag, you are doing so well! I'm about to start moving up the steps, my last week of ss this next week yay!!! So will be stalking your diary! X

Well I'm going out on the 1st December, my college groups first night out- I should be at goal so will be lovely to get all dressed up and take some pics, but even if I'm not at goal I'm still going out cause its been planned for months! But when I have worked up all the steps and am no longer...

eeek i know im so nearly there!! could be next week... but im kinda expecting a small loss after a bit 4lber- probably just 1lb. so will probably take 2 weeks... but even that is sooooo close!! I think i will be a bit lost when i no longer have to lose weight! definatly gonna start exercising...

just popping over here to sayyyyy... hello :D xxx

Its great isnt it?! i love getting smaller and smaller and looking better and better in clothes! Naked me still needs a bit of work lol but i dont really care about that right now! ahhh soon enough our only problem with shopping will be 'ooohhh i love that top, it looks fab, but i cant really...

Thanks hun! from the look of your stats you have done very well too! xx

Right can do a proper diary entry now im on my laptop and the little lady is asleep! 4lbs this week! yaaaay. The only thing is, my consultant came to me- so the scales could be out a bit... she weighed herself and it said she was 3lbs heavier then when she weighed herself in the morning. So...

4lbs this week! 3 till goal!

Niki what's the link to your diary?! Want to follow you haha. lost 4lbs this week! Just 3 little pounds to goal!

Woo lost 4lb this week! Will update properly when I'm on the laptop later x

Ahhh lost 4lbs!! Only 3 to go!!! !!!!!!!!!!!

its so life changing isnt it! i lost 2lbs this week- 6 to go! xxxx

Lost 2lbs this week! woop. Am finding it harder now. wanting to pick at things. only low carb things mind- chicken/ham and such... but i dont want too lose focus when im sooooo close to the end! in just a few weeks i can have a whole chicken breast and some yummy veg and salad... i just need to...

woo i lost 2lbs this week! tweekedgirl - (0lbs lost, 5lbs to go) newandhappyme - 17lbs (4lbs lost, 13lbs to go) lucynewmum - 10 lbs (0lbs lost, 10lbs to go) Enchantedjen - 8lbs (0lbs lost, 8lbs to go) Dextersmum - 14lbs (0lbs lost, 14lbs to go) Clanger72 - 4lbs (0lbs lost, 4lbs to go) JuneyMoo...

Amazing Niki!!! very well done. you must be feeling great? I'm getting weighed tomorrow, but not expecting much. sneakily weighed this afternoon and it said i had gained a pound!! (i had just drunk a massive mug of tea though and on different scales/different time of day ect) didnt let it...

Been thinking about this a lot. When I'm at 11st 13 (goal) I'm gonna work up the steps, 2 weeks on each. Might lose a bit more, and that's ok (a bonus really!) then I am going to calorie count. Gonna take a little while to understand how much my body needs to maintain, but that's ok too. Was...

Can I join in please! Would love to be at target by the end of November, so my goal is 8lbs x x

i didnt take proper before pics, but i did go on holiday the week before i started, so there will be pics of me at my starting weight. and i will defiantly take proper after pictures! i never thought i would get to my goal weight... now i know i will! i have never ever been 11 stone something...

Thanks hun! goal is in sight. its very nice. and am a size 14 now, want to be a 12 so reckon i can do that in 8lbs time! my consultant said i looked about a size 10 today!!! chuffed (must be because im so tall haha)

another 4lbs for me this week! woohoo, just 8 tiny little pounds to go! x

hmmm its a hard one isnt it? think im about where you are. 8lbs to my original goal. And i'm a size 14- my goal size is 12-14... so i will probably be where i wana be after 8 more lbs. but... i have a feeling i still wont be fully happy. i look so much better in clothes, but without clothes on...

Wow i lost 4lbs!!!! Only 8 to go!! i am officially a size 14 :D my goal was 12-14 so im very happy right now. Thinking after this 8lbs and working up the steps i will be a 12 (actually wearing a size 12 top and jeggings now- but both are stretchy so i dont think it really counts haha) Me and...

:( did end up having toast.... oh dear. Well, the only positive is that i didnt binge. i didnt give in to craving. im just listening to my body and relucantly giving in to what it needs right now. I'll probably come out of ketosis... i'll probably feel hungry for the next few days, i probably...

Its been a few days of sickness! Jasmine perked up quite nicely, but me? i have gastric flu. its horrible!! thank god my mum came to look after me and J, cause i dont know how i would cope otherwise. Its buggered up the diet :( For the first day it was ok... but then i felt starving (and ill...

Flare, are you physically hungry or just craving food? cause i craved food for a few weeks, all yummy things that i realllllly fancied. but then i thought about it, and it wasnt real hunger. i just wanted to taste nice food. A massive step for me was realising the difference, and understanding...

1lb for me this week! 12 to go x

5lbs is amazing!!! well done hun xx Glad you liked it, there are so many other things i could have written, but i will save them till im at goal and will do a massive list and pics for everyone! i only lost 1lb this week, but thats ok- i only have 12lbs to go, and its got to slow down some...

Didnt go to belfast in the end, Jasmine has an ear infection and doctor said it would be very painful for her :( poor baby. Sooo i got weighed, and i lost 1lb. i'm ok with that, havent drunk much this week, TOTM due next week (i always bloat the week before) and lots of stress with a sick...

ooooh im gonna miss my weigh in this week as im going to belfast to visit my sister and nephews! have arranged to meet a consultant over there to get some products so i can continue on ss+ bit worried about no weigh in... will i lose focus...will my motivation stop? my brain already tried to...

it will pass! i remember wondering if i would feel hungry for the whole day/week, and was it really worth being miserable? YES! its totally worth it. and it wont last long. distract yourself as much as possible- just get to the end of the day. it will be ok :) xx

No :) No calories/carbs/anything in water x x

Obviously that's £56 a week haha x

For 4 packs a day I pay £56. £7 for mix a mousse/water flavourings etc But it definatly varies between consultants X

Sounds perfect! The weather here has been awful. I'm so much happier when the suns out, even if its freezing cold, if its sunny I feel happier! X

Haha I update too! 4lbs for me this week, 13lbs until target! X

eeeek I know! Very excited now. Have been so focused and not allowed myself to be excited and happy in case i get comfortable and stop, but I know that wont happen now. Hopefully just 4/6 weeks of ss left, then I can work up the steps, then maintain! Decided I'm gonna start running as well...

Indeed I can! 1. I have gone from a size 20 to a 14 ( hopefully end up at a 12) 2. I move around easier- it's almost like I float now! 3. I look soooo much better in clothes, less lumps and bumps 4. I don't have to suck my tummy in constantly 5. There is a gap between my thighs!! 6. I feel...

Thank you for your kind words! its so lovely to think i might be inpiring others. You CAN do it! You have to really want it, cause its very hard. you will have to argue with yourself regulary (i still do) and stay as focused as possible, but you CAN do it. i have tried every other diet before...

woo i lost 4lbs this week! 13lbs till goal xx

Right... i have been waiting all day to get on a laptop so i can properly write this message... here goes.... I LOST ANOTHER 4LBS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! which means... I'VE LOST 4ST 1LB!!!!! and... LESS THAN A STONE UNTIL GOAL, ONLY 13LBS TO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and... MY BMI SO VERY VERY...

Amazing!! Well done hun. I'm pretty sure I lost about the same in 6 weeks, its such a big incentive to keep going. These 15 weeks have flown by. And now I'm in a routine, and don't think about food every waking moment (like the first 3 weeks!) The weeks fly by too. Next weigh in is Thursday...

I had 1 810 week and lost 2lbs. My average is probably about 3lbs so not loads of difference x

Oh yeah, its stupidly hard. But does get eaiser. I think I read somewhere it takes 28 days to create a habit, so if you can do 4 weeks you should start to feel better after that...so they say anyway! Well I'm going to work up then steps, every single step for a minimum of 2 weeks, then I have...

aw thanks hun x Yep, well ss+ (4 packs and milk for tea/coffee) was recommend for me because I'm 5'11. So I ss+ for the first 12 weeks, had an 810 week (lost 2lbs) then back on ss+ till goal (11st 13) then move up the steps and any weight I lose doing that is a bonus. That's my plan anyway...

I have lost 3st 11lbs in 14 weeks, gone from 16st 13lbs to 13st 2lbs. 1st 3lbs until target. I believe a lot of dieting is in your head. I've been dieting constantly since I was 13, and this is the most I've ever lost and the lightest I've ever been, I always cheated before but this time is...

i know what you mean, i have found its only random days that drag now for me (or when its TOTM, thats a killer!!) in regards to food. when i thought about doing this diet for 3 months it felt like it was gonna be the longest experience of my life! now 14 weeks in, and i dont feel like stopping...

First week is the hardest. I say give it a week, see how you feel after you get weighed. I hate all the shakes! I have a bar for brekkie, choc tetra for lunch and dinner and choc mousse/frozen choc tetra for the evening have been having this every day for about 10 weeks now and I'm not bored yet...

It's funny whenever you think about dieting or being at goal it seems like its gonna take ages! But when your actually doing it it doesn't seem to take long at all! X

wow you are doing so well!! xxx

4lbs this week! very happy with that. cant believe im nearly in the 12's!! so exciting. the first half of this week was hard. i felt hungry again, and i am not used to that! guess it was just a kickstart for my metabolism from the 810 week, second half of the week i felt i was back to normal...

i was considering WW or SW for maintance... but i'm not sure... i like the flexability of calorie counting, i.e if i want something naughty, i can have it, but then i have to be stricter at the next meal/next day. where if you want to be naughty on WW or SW its seen as a bad thing (which for...

4lbs for me! X

well done for starting! you will have the weight off in no time. im on 4 packs a day too :) x

another 2lbs! happy with that. I have really tried to enjoy this last week... and i did... but not as much as i thought i was going too. Eating food again wasnt amazing. It was more effort having to think about what i wanted, cooking and then clearing up. Its strange, cause im not lazy in the...

Another 2lbs off for me x

Thanks tizzy, You're right, its just one meal. and a very low cal one at that! I am so nearly there... just 12 more pounds and i will have a healthy BMI... just 10 more pounds and i will be in the 12's (in my adult life, i have NEVER been in the 12's), and just 23 more pounds and i will be at...

Another 2lbs this week! Happy with that. I'm now on step 2 for a week! Yaaay, real food! Tonight I'm having dry fried haddock with asparagus and brocolli. I have weighed out my veg and got the fish monger to do me a 275g portion lol The only thing I'm worried about is not wanting to go back...

2lbs for me! X

didnt even answer your question! i didnt take proper before pics (wish i did!) but i did go on holiday the week before i started, so there will be pictures of me at my starting weight. Bit too scared to look at them... not sure why, cause its not me anymore... when i am at goal i will look at...

awww thank you for your kind words! i dont know if many people read my diary.. i dont update everyday like most, normally only once a week or so, but its good to look back and see how far i have come. You are doing so well!! you will definatly be at goal by christmas, just keep focused! I...

Lost 2lbs this week. happy with that! just 1 stone 11lbs to go! feeling verrrrry hungry today though, bit miserable to be honest. but its TOTM next week, so its normally this week that i bloat/want to eat everything in sight! Think im gonna have a shower, and have an early night. oooh tried...

2lbs this week for me! 25 to go! X

Think they can charge what they want... obviously mine saw me coming! haha x

im a bit worried about my inch loss. i have done well, lost 6 inches from my waist and from my hips and bust, but to be a size 14 (according to an array of size guides i looked up!) i need to lose another 6 inches from my waist... and ive got just under 2 stone to go. not sure if i will do it...

You need to buy a 'mix a mousse' my consultant charges 7 pound for a little tub. its a cold water gelatin, comes in a white powder form and comes with a little scoop. You add a scoop of it to whatever shake flavour you want with 150ml of water and blend, pop in fridge for 20 mins, and you have a...

haha same here, a few weeks ago i told my friend my target weight was 12 stone and she said 'you cant be far off that?' i said 'i'm 15 stone' she was like 'nooooo way! you cant be!' haha i suppose its a good thing? although i have lost 3 stone now and have only gone down 1 dress size which is...

I found it a bit strange at first. It's a bit of a funny texture. But then it was never gonna be like an actual mousse was it?! I really look forward to it every evening now! Shaz can I ask, have you ever been your target weight? I ask cause we are the same height and have the same goal, but I...

I'm 5'11 and always have 4, I'm in my little routine of having a bar and coffee for brekkie, choc tetra for lunch and dinner, then a choc mix a mousse when my daughter goes to bed in the evening. I'm actually very nervous about my 810 week coming up, I don't want to be tempted with real life...

4lbs off! cant believe how good my losses are at this stage, really thought it would have slowed down. i'm in the 13's!!!!!!!!!! i have not been this weight in sooo long. when i was 17 i got down to 13st 3lbs i think... and i was really happy, but it all went back on, plus a bit more. i cant...

4lbs for me! xx

Made a mousse out of one- yum!!! Lovely flavour, but quite sweet. Felt a bit sick after a while, but still very nice and will have it again! X

5lbs off this week!!!!! aaahhhh so happy! so 3 more lbs and ive lost 3 stone. amazing! and all in 10 weeks. am starting to feel really good about myself now. im a comfy size 16 and all my bras are too big! when i lay flat my hip bones and rib cage stick out a bit, and all my cardigans are...

5lbs off for me this week! woop woop x

Mine gave me one today, and a reusable bag. She spoils me lol x

Got mine today :) x

Just noticed we are both quite tall... Maybe that has something to do with it? X

Yes! My waist has stayed the same size for 6 weeks! Have lost the weight but not inches...yet! I don't let it worry me. Maybe when I get closer to goal I will worry but ive still got another 2.5 stone to go, I'm sure the inches will catch up :) x

3lbs off for me this week! and its TOTM so very happy! x

another 3lbs gone! woop woop! and 1.5 inches off my hips. very very happy with that. 8 more lbs and i'll be 13 something! havent been there in ages. goal is in sight now. ooh and its TOTM so i thought i would STS/gain. have been sooooo hungry the last couple of days, but i am powering though.

Depends on your height and weight... I've lost 31lbs in 49 days x

Well, turns out i cant cope with the packet shakes anymore! they were making me feel totally sick, so met up with a different consultant near my mums house and she supplied me with some tetras to keep me going until i get back. so yay have tetras again!! am finding it harder to drink water at...

Ahhh im glad i might be helping you in a small way! I have learned a lot about my eating habit while on this diet, and its made me realise, we really can do anything! its all about your mindset, if you reallllllly want it (and you do have to REALLLLLY want it cause its bloody hard) then it will...

3lbs off this week! Very happy with that. Hopefully I can keep that up! My cdc didn't have any choc tetras, or chewy bars or a mix a mouse! Bit gutted about that but its only a week, I will survive! Staying with my mum for a few days, everyone is saying how good I look which is lovely! But I...

3lbs this week! Woohoo! X

Should also add, this week I am drinking 3L of water a day to see if it will boost my loss! We shall see what the scales say on Wednesday X

ive tried everything before, and im sure they would have all worked for me but this time i have loads of willpower! im soooo determined to be 12 stone. you can totally do it this time, just take a day at a time x

well 2lb off this week. im ok with it. im in the 14's!!!!! yay!!! so thats 2 stone in 6 weeks, woop!

Thanks! good luck to you too! are you just starting? x

2lbs for me this week! x

Got my weigh in tomorrow! Really nervous about this one... just dont wana lose 1lb again... 2lbs i would be dissapointed BUT it would put me in the 14's which would be a big silver lining. I have been 100% again this week, so i SHOULD lose a decent amount...ooo i really hope my small loss was...

Well done for your weight loss, its fab! Good luck too x

oooh and i looked at myself in a swimming cossy and you can really tell i've lost 2 stone! i felt really good, and even a bit sexy! the built in bra and tummy control helped lol but i looked really curvy rather then fat. obviously not 100% happy with my body yet, but am starting to feel a lot...

Just went for a lovely swim, did 20 lengths (used to be able to do 40 easily, but havent done that in a long while!) and then had a sauna and steam. Then me and my (skinny!)friend went to the cafe and she had a white chocolate shortbread and a cookie and i had a skinny latte with a cambridge...

i only lost 1lb this week! boo! but its going in the right direction and im hoping for a bigger loss next week xx

well only 1lb loss this week. have been 100% so bit gutted about it... BUT not so gutted i wana eat a massive pizza, im NOT giving up. am gonna keep on going and hope i get a decent loss next week to give me a boost. im really proud of myself actually, a small loss would normally tip me...

Thank you! and thanks for the mix a mouse tip, ive been doing this and they are much nicer now! well done on your losses x

My cdc doesn't sit and chat for hours, but I wouldn't want her too. She never makes me feel rushed though and is very supportive. Texts me every week to see how I am and tells me to text her straight away if I'm struggling. Your cdc sounds a bit crap- you pay top money for her services, so find...

Wow well done! X

There are loads of things I want to get when I hit target, a belly button ring, a bikini a whole new wardrobe and lots of new bras that fit haha! X

1 stone in the long run is not too damaging, you'll get back to your target in no time :) x

Wow that's great well done! You'll be inspiring others soon :) x

Red

That's fab, well done! X

Well done that's great. I lost 5lb second week, and then lost 5 + 6lb the next weeks so it really does keep coming off! X

That's a great loss, well done x

Wow well done!! Amazing x

Well done on your loss! X

I think cooked chicken breast would be best. Hope you feel better soon! X

I'm not sure how many carbs take you out of ketosis... But chin up! Just a little blip, don't beat yourself up just get straight back on plan :) x

Well done! X

Jump straight back on that wagon :)

I mix it up, sometimes have 4 a day and milk, sometimes only have 3 a day and no milk... Don't think it makes too much of a difference x

Good luck with everything! X

Good luck hun! I'm starting week 5 and finding it quite easy now! First week is the hardest x x

Another 6lb off!!!! Sooo happy, really didn't expect that! Might be in the 14's next week! Haven't been there for a long time. 3lbs to go until I've lost 2 stone. Got some chocolate tetras to try this week, I think you can freeze them to make ice cream, which I will definitely be trying...

Weigh in tomorrow! Have found the last couple of days tough, made a beef hotpot for my daughters dinner and it smelt amazing! Also made her bolognase with pasta and was sooooo tempted... But i resisted. Hoping for 2-3 lbs tomorrow then going back home to see mama for a few days Will...

I'm 5'11 and at 15 stone 8 am a size 18 (on the baggy side though!!) X

Woo another 5lb off! So happy with that. Brought mix a mouse to try, was ok.. bit wet lol maybe I'm doing it wrong. Was really stressed yesterday, so tempted to order a curry... But I didn't. Hope my will power can hold out for another 8 weeks! Stress and comfort eating is definitely a...

wow well done! x

its really really hard, but just take it a day at a time. ive always failed at diets cause i would get tempted, eat junk, then think 'oh ive ruined it now' and carry on eating junk. but this diet has taught me i can resist temptation, and the ache for something nice to eat DOES go away. just...

well done! x

well done! x

im sooo gonna do that, just 4 stone to go haha x

between 3-6 for me! i would have cleaned up from my little girls lunch and have to start thinking about making her dinner, i will have about 2 hours of just playing with her, and this is when i fancy a nice treat, as if to say 'well done Rach, you have looked after your child successfully and...

well done! x

Came home to my mummy for a few days. nice to be looked after! Thought it would be eaiser as i wouldnt have to cook for my daughter, but its really hard! the house always smells amazing! they are eating a roast at the moment and im sipping on water! but im sticking to it. i did have a mouthful...

Thanks hun x x I actually feel a huge sense of relief, so its all good. Well done on your 6lb loss, amazing! Well, had my second weigh in yesterday and... I lost 5lbs!! That's a stone in 2 weeks! She took my measurements again, I've lost 1 inch from my waist, 1.5 from hips, 2 from bust...

Broke up with my boyfriend yesterday. Really sad but we are staying friends. He's always gonna be in my life (baby) so I'm glad there is no nastyness. This sort of stress would normally be enough for me to say screw the diet! And order a large pizza, but I have stuck to it 100% and actually...

First weigh in today and 9lbs down!! Really pleased, but this is a long term goal and I've got quite a way to go! This week has been hard, but totally manageable. I'm just worried about getting bored and then failing... I really wana do it this time! I normally loose 2 stone then give up and...

Hi Emily, First few days were really hard, kept having day dreams of junk food! But we can definatly do this x

Turns out my weigh in is Thursday! This lack of food is turning my brain to mush, ive been thinking Wednesday all week! Good luck for tomorrow girl on a mission! We will be skinny (well skinnier!) in just a few months (I hope!) Siobhan its so encouraging seeing all your losses, and 3...
