Had a sneaky weigh in and I'm back under 12 stone JUST! I know the majority of it is water weight but it does feel good to see the numbers coming down so fast xx

I'll definitely look into them thanks hun! Made a massive boo boo today! Only had one shake at work because I was in for 4 hours but then went shopping straight after so it's all I've had! Feel so dizzy so having some lean chicken and veg to hopefully bring me round a bit. How's everyone...

PT session tonight nearly killed me off! Think I've burned about 600 calories. Gonna have a brew and see if I can dig out a bar. Need to make a new order for some extra shakes and bars I think. Which flavours would you recommend? Bare in mind I've mainly stuck to strawberry in the past xx

Currently sat having a coke zero for my lunch as I had my shake way early. Got a PT session later so gonna havea shake straight after, apparently tthat's the best time to have them. Can't wait to have a few days off work just to chill out, I'm turning down nights out so I can save a bit of money...

Ended up going to pizza express tonight gahh! Had a thin based pizza with some salad. Other than that I've just had 3 shakes today so not gone overboard at all just gutted that on day 2 I've had carbs! No more date nights planned for a little while anyway. Me and my friend who I went out with...

Ha such a good way to think about it!! I'm gonna try that for everything naughty ha xx

Currently sitting in the kitchen at work whilst everyone is eating the most amazing smelling food. Curry, fried chicken, bbq stuff! I feel like I'm torturing myself ha xx

Yea think i remember that about exercise actually. Last time i didn't do any, I was just on the shakes, barely even walked anywhere. My friend knows all about the diet, he's dieting himself so won't be having anything majorly calorific! I can't believe how motivated I was when I first started...

I was good and just had a coke zero! So easy to over indulge at the cinema though! The film was alright, not as good as I expected! I'd watch it again if it was on tv but wouldn't buy the DVD put it that way ha. Day one complete, only had 4 shakes in the end, must remember to put some more in...

Had 3 shakes already today, been soooo hungry! I know it's just the first couple of days then hopefully all hunger pangs will be gone. Think the gym makes me hungrier anyway. Might have to have an extra shake today if Im struggling. Going watching Bad Neighbours tonight, need to stay well away...

Thanks ladies! Had so much support the first time round I think that's what helped. I don't mind anyone taking tips at all, if I can help someone along its even more motivation to carry on. Starting off day 1 with a shake and a trip to the gym before work. I've turned into a right gym freak...

Here's the link to my first diary if anyone is interested - http://www.minimins.com/slim-save-diaries/294011-first-ever-vlcd.html I hope there's at least one person on here to help me along. Not sure I can do it on my own xx

Back here again! Must have been nearly a year since I last posted... Well I'm still nowhere near my starting weight of over 15 stone. I hovered around the 12st mark for what felt like a lifetime occasionally dropping to 11 and a half then back up again. I decided I just couldn't do s&s anymore...

Thanks hun. My auntir is still in hospital but seems to be getting better, they're having to play around with her meds a lot at the moment but things are not getting worse which is good. We're still texting but nothing arranged yet. We're both really busy over thr next few weeks so gonna be...

Weighed in and I'm 2lbs down. So 9lbs lost in 15 days, after whinging so much the other day as well!! I think my weight just likes to come off at the start if the week. Less than a stone to goal now!! Woop xxx

Ha well done on resisting!! 4 people on diet club at work have already dropped out. The girl who lost the most has gone and ordered pizza tonight as a treat haa. Only 4 weeks left of starvation for me before I dive head first I to the biggest selection on tapas going!! Can't bloody wait!! I will...

Ha oohh noooo!! I'm so proud of myself, me and my friend were discussing pizza on the way home and I reeeeeeally wanted some because i was so hungry but I resisted and she didn't haha. Had a brew and a bar instead... How thrilling!! Really gutted about my nip, I'm holding out hope for these...

You had a good weekend then? I know I'm just being impatient, I'm hoping for a stone a month so that 7lbs loss puts me on track-ish. The closer I get to goal the harder it becomes, these love handles just don't want to surrender haha. i wonder why it happens?! I don't want to remove it because...

Sooo I've had a total loss this week of 2lbs, no more since I last weighed myself. This is exactly why I shouldn't weigh myself every day nearly, I end up expecting 4-5lbs every week and that's just unrealistic. So 7lbs, HALF A STONE, in 2 weeks I'm feigning happiness with. It is still a lot...

Yea we've spoke today. Just general stuff like before we met. Hopefully there will be date 2!! xxx

He's so cute, and I really fancy him as well. He's part Italian, the last one was part Spanish, I think I've got a thing for Latinos haha. I don't wanna get my hopes up because I've only met him once but he asked me if I was glad I went out with him and I said yes and so did he, I've told him I...

Ha aww thanks girls. Had a really nice time, he's a proper gentleman. I've met a couple of people from pof now, one was a disaster because he was a complete steroid abuser and I didn't fancy him in real life, one was nice enough but basically just wanted to bed me so I binned him off and this...

Been talking for about 2 weeks, maybe not even that ha. Whhhhy not?! Worst that can happen is hes an absolute minger and we don't get on in person so it'll be an awkward couple of hours then I don't have to see him again haha. I think it'll be ok. Just wearing a peachy coloured blouse with the...

Ha I saw the needle and bottled it for about 5 minutes, felt like a right spanner when it went in and didn't hurt! Off in a date tonight to the Trafford centre playing crazy golf. Gonna look like a right Wally limping around ha. It's someone off pof as well so never even met him before...

Well thats another working week done. So happy to be away from the place!! Resisted chips from the guy sitting next to me, he was saying and doing everything he could to make me eat them!! Currently sat in the doctors waiting for a tetanus! Stood on a nail outside last night and it went through...

Still feel a bit sick but managed to keep it down. Still over an hour left in work then going seeing my auntie in hospital. I'm glad I'm on this diet while all this is happening, it may sound hallow but think it would make things worse if I felt fat as well as everything else going on. At least...

Thanks! Still feel rubbish but gone in work. Just want to go home to bed though. Been struggling keeping anything down so gonna have a salad, still on plan obviously just hope proper solids will ease my stomach. On a positive I'm back to 3 and a half total loss and only 15lbs to goal. Wonder if...

Weighed in this morning seeing as the sacked were ​staring at me and I'm another 2lbs off. So half a stone in 9 days, really happy xx

Thanks everyone. So nice to have people who you don't even know being supportive. Feel a lot better now I've had a good cry. Luckily my manager is really understanding and knows what I'm going through, they have seen me upset at work before and told me to go home but I've stayed, just couldn't...

That would be nice! My sister came round earlier which was nice, we've only just started talking again after nearly a year long feud, we have different dads so she's not related to my auntie but glad she's here for me. My mum is coming up and again she's not related to my auntie either but...

My auntie text me at 4am saying shed been having a nose bleed for over an hour and the morphine she is on is only easing the pain she's in not taking it away and she's really struggling breathing. Had a complete break down this morning and couldn't stop crying for well over an hour, feel it...

Aww hope you're ok Hun, my auntie had some polyps removed last year and she was fine so I'm sure it's nothing to worry about. Well done on an amazing loss so far xxx

Woo good luck xx

Been awful today at work, can't wait for a couple of weeks off over Xmas!! Anyway here is a picture minus a tan, make up and 5lbs. Not much difference but we'll see as the weeks progress. So 12st3 to 11st12 xxx

Deleted

ooh just looking back through the thread and I promised weekly pictures. I'll take some tomorrow in the morning and compare to last week. Doubt there will be much of a difference but hoping to keep me motivated!! Anyone else in for photo club? I love sifting through people's weight loss photos xx

It really is!! If every work place brought it in then nobody would be fat. I'm so determined to win it's untrue!! I've always found being at work easier to diet, my old job I only had half hour lunch and no breaks so used my kunch throughout the day as my fag breaks and sat at my desk with my...

Exactly and if we can't enjoy our food when we're on hokiday then there's no point going!! When you get bored of this diet and the weight isn't coming off as quick as it started it gets frustratung, for me anyway, makes me think whats the point and cave. NOT THIS TIME!! We will be skinny finaly...

Thread hijack all you want!! Gives me something to read through on my way home from work, waiting for the bus in the FREEZING COLD!!! Lots of people tell me I don't need to lose weight but I still feel big, I know I'm nowhere bear what I was but when you feel bloated and like the double chin is...

Men are 100% intimidated by tall women!! I really struggle to meet people because I'm well over 6ft on a night out as well!! I need a 6"4 man mjnimum but there's hardly any about!! Doesn't sound a lot when it's put in pounds, if I can lose 4lbs this week I'll be the happiest person EVER...

Hiya doll, bloody hell you are in a good mood haha. Had a good day diet wise, bloody came on today though (excuse the pun) so my skins a mess, I'm cranky and I'm huuuungry!! Had 2 shakes and a chicken salad so gonna have a brew and a bar when I get home from work and CHILLLL. Glad you're back...

Just think of how well you have done overall. Don't beat yourself up over it because you can't change it. You're still over 4 stone down which is brilliant! You can defo get into the 12s, you've got over a month, just stick to it. I think it gets a bit monotonous when you've already lost so much...

Thankyou!! I think 12st is about my natural weight because I always gravitate back there and never really go over that, I can eat quite badly and stay around that weight. No more though!! I want to be a skinny minny finally. I've never ever been a size 10, I have one size 10 dress that fits me...

Ooh exciting!! What was your starting weight? I'm 5ft9/10 so quite tall. I get away with being heavier even when I was nearly 16 stone and a size 20 I looked smaller because I was so tall. The ONLY advantage believe me, finding a man is a nightmare!! Haha. There is a girl in work who is 5ft11...

Lost 5lbs and back in the 11s. Quite happy with that! I know now I have less weight to lose it will probably come off slower than before. Weighed in this morning for diet club, fully dressed and after a pint of water I'm 12st bang on, I was expecting about a 2lb difference anyway so generally...

Well I wasn't any skinnier!! Had a fab time though. Met up with one of the (veeeery good looking) boys I met over there last weekend ha. I'm 1 week into a 6 week challenge now! Luckily not gained any more weight just not lost any!! Hoping to see the 10s for Xmas and my birthday. This time last...

Been so busy today, not looking forward to the 11 hour shift awaiting me tomorrow. Diet club is starting though!! So weighing in tomorrow for a fresh start. Weighed last Tuesday at 12st3!so wish me luck xx

Thankyou xxx

No excuses now, I must have spent at least £5-600 on s&s, how mad will that make me if I get fat again?!! Haha, better stick to it like glue, which I definitely feel I can do right now. Weekends when I'm not going out make it so much easier, no temptation in the way!! I'm going visiting...

Anyway, diet wise I've done well. Decided to have a protein meal this morning for some much needed energy for the day ahead. Had 2 poached eggs with grilled mushrooms and a couple of cheeky cherry tomatoes, lots of salt and pepper and a dab of brown sauce. Lovely! Lunch I had a brew with a bar...

Mama C, you're back!! So am I finally!! Hope everything is ok, you can smash this diet xxx

Well I've spent from 11am absolutely blitzing this house, steam cleaning included! Thought I'd done a brilliant job, even got my step dad to come up and fix the kitchen doors that we're coming off after giving some absolute cowboys £10k make a pigs ear of it 6 months ago then I rang the hospital...

You're doing so well!! My old job I have every female at the office griping at me telling me how unhealthy this diet is, on one occasion whilst sat eating McDonalds!!! Another couple of the girls told me I should "got to the gym like them" and not be on a stupid diet. Turns out one had tried...

Ha I'm trying not to think about it, I have 4 other birthdays coming up as well and having 100% confirmed them so keeping them off the list, 2 of the nights there are just for my best friend but then we've got her meal on top of that. Not sure how I'm going to afford it let alone diet haha...

Bet it makes it a bit harder but if you don't go wild eating then you should be fine haha. My auntie is ok, she thought she might be coming out today but will probably be after weekend now. She's not had another heart attack thank god but she's being treated for a clot on her lung. She's not...

Oh i knowwww!!! I gained 9lbs last year, over the course of 2 months because I went way off track then got back on 2nd Jan and lost quite a bit. Just don't want to ruin all my hard work so only having set days where I'm planning on staying on plan most of the day apart from for tea time. Gonna...

Soooo much planned over he next few weeks, don't know where to begin! 6th Dec - work Xmas do - no choice but to come off plan because the meal is paid for, wasn't really a lot to choose from so went veggie... - Starter - aubergine and goats cheese tart with a basil and rocket side - Main -...

Could so demolish a burger right now I'm due on and craving all things bad for me, I wouldn't usually even order a burger but think its because I can't have it why I want it. Obviously won't have one, mind over matter and all but would be lovely. Instead I'm gonna have my fave mac and cheese...

thought I'd reply in my own thread because I always feel cheeky taking over people's diaries for some reason ha. i did a combination, mainly 4 packs a day but then I'm a weirdo who only has strawberry shakes and mac and cheese packs ha. Can't wait to get my hands on some bars but the delivery...

Haha they definitely are! At least there's loads of us doing it so should keep us well on track, weighing in front of each other as well... Eekkkk!!! I'll have to stay on track to cope with that!! xxx

Aww thanks so much ladies!! We're having a British Bake Off comp in 2 weeks so that will be a massive challenge!! The directors brought in cookies and doughnuts today which is a far too regular occurance and I resisted!! Good thing about my work is everyone in there is on a diet! Hense diet...

Hahaha that egg story actually made me laugh out loud!! Haa. Oohhh the pure torture!! Glad you're feeling better!! Just think of the end results and when you're there if you want the odd treat you know you can in moderation and not feel guilty!! We'll stick to it together!! You've done so...

So here are some of my "before and after" pics, the other is one from this weekend. Just got that one last push to be at goal but need to remind myself how far I have already come sometimes xxx

I'm doing 6 weeks straight on s&s as well! Last time I did it I lost 20lbs and didn't weigh myself once which really seemed to help. I was so scared that I would put on weight that I didn't cheat. I'm at the same weight I was after I lost that 20lbs, I did end up losing a bit more but then...

So some people from my work have decided to start a diet club for 8 weeks seeing as it's 8 weeks to xmas. We get weighed every Monday and put a pound into the diet pot, whoever has lost the most by the end of it wins the pot. This has actually made my day! I'm so competitive (and also skint) I'm...

Work have been really nice and told me to go home but don't see the point. I'd only mope about and feel worse, at least I can keep my mind off everything here. Took me half an hour to get a shake down me this morning, don't have an appetite at all! Think it's a mix of ketosis and worry. Feel...

Thanks hun, me too. On to day three, swapped my shift at work so I'm starting at 12 and had a couple of extra hours sleep, still not wanting to go in. Gonna have a shower, shake then crack on. Not gonna be able to go visiting at the hospital because I'm working til 8 again. How depressing xx

Had a fabulous day diet wise just rubbish in all other aspects. I live with my auntie who is not very well, docs say she might not make it to Xmas :( which we are hoping is absolute bullshit seeing as they get it wrong all the time. She's had 3 heart attacks this year and was getting chest pain...

Good luck xx

Night doll xx

Ooh today has been loooong!! And I'm feeling really hungry and my graze box has just been delivered. Only had 3 packs today so gonna make another and resist temptation. Dying to just be in ketosis, first few days always seem to last forever!! xx

My god one thing I didn't miss about this diet was becoming BFF's with the nearest loo!! Working in a call centre doesn't help! Just been stuck on a call for HALF AN HOUR dyyyying to pee, thought my bladder was going to burst!! Haha. Had my second pack, standard strawberry shake xx

That's such a good way of looking at it! I feel awful after a take away, really guilty and bloated. I feel really good when I've done a full day, no cheating or slip ups and like you said that's better than a short satisfaction followed by HUGE guilt and disappointment. I'm hoping 6 weeks and...

Aww thanks, I feel like I can do it just always get stuck at this point!! A stone and a half in 6 weeks is doable though isn't it? I've done it before but then just sort of plateaued, fluctuating by about half a stone. I remember that buzz from my old job, I changed so much in such a short...

God defo need to be drinking more water, smellywee.com!! Starting off my day with a cheesy pasta and some mushrooms just because I'm starved this morning and I know I won't eat when I get home from work with it being past 9 so thought I'd treat myself xx

Ha aw thanks, nice to have people to talk to. Feels so empty on here!! I've set up a brand new diary, hopefully the last one this time ha xx http://www.minimins.com/slim-save-diaries/330111-6-weeks-skinnydom.html

I'm doing s&s for the second time and your journey and motivation is so inspiring so I'm subscribing xx

Had suuuuch a good sleep last night!! Was out before 12 and just woke up, that never happens! Day one done and dusted, gonna have a shake for breaky and crack on with day 2. I'm working til 8 tonight so should be quite easy today. Have a good day everyone xxx

Oohh I've never seen that!! May have to give it a whirl if this date goes well ha xx

I think it's good you've planned your breaks well in advance, will make it so much easier to get back in track. I had tapas when I did my 5 and a half weeks last time and still had a fab loss so I know that's not too bad! Not weighing myself will be an absolute chore though because can't hide...

You sound like you're doing really well!! I'm dreading weekend, got a date but I've suggested crazy golf, just hope he doesn't want to go somewhere to eat after otherwise I'll be panicking. Going to the Trafford centre though and there's a tapas place there so could just order some protein and...

I don't think I'd ever get into the 9s but might give it a good bash haha. Night xx

I can feel myself putting on weight again, when I get to the top end of 12 stone like I am now I feel podgy and awful about myself so start to diet again back down to 11 and a half then feel fine again then start to eat again back up to 12 haha. That's why I'm not weighing this time, I found it...

That sounds quite good, we have 600cals for the whole day!! Is it expensive? sounds like a good steady weight loss though so I think March should be more than achievable!! I'm quite glad I'm not in a relationship! I find it quite easy to not eat at home.90% of the time. It's totm that I find...

Ok soooo pics!! Don't think what I am wearing is remotely flattering but it will help show any weight loss if I do this every week which I WILL this time ha. White top is nearly 14st and black is just a minute ago, see what I mean about jelly belly!! xx

Hiya! The more the merrier I think, not bothered what diet you're on like you said we're all in the same boat!! How is herbalife? Only ever done slim and save. i think it's this time of year you know, most people slack off. This time last year I had just lost my first stone and a bit so hoping...

Well I've been 10lbs lighter than this but pretty much maintained between 11.8 and 12st. i love the bars!! Just ordered some and should get them on Thursday. I'm being strict as possible for the next 6 weeks. I need to finally do this!! It's my bloody stomach!!! Jelly belly central!! Just taken...

Ooh hate the coffee shake!! It's really monotonous having 3 of the same flavoured shakes a day but if it makes me skinny I'll put up with it haha. I'm a 12 at the minute, I was a small 12 but now I'm a tight 12 ha, gonna order some 10s from ebay I reckon and hang them up to motivate me. I'd...

Hey so nice to finally have someone to talk to!! Nine weeks is amazing!! Most I managed in one week was about 7. How much have you lost already? I hate the cake feeling, I have it all the time, doesn't help that in two weeks we're having a great British bake off in work haha. might try that...

Well it's loads quieter on here than I remember! Still got over an hour and a half left in work and have been drinking copious amounts of coffee to keep me from falling asleep at my desk but also stop my feeling hungry. Had 2 shakes so far and may go for a third before I finish to stop me...

Just got on the bus on the way to work so thought id do another quick update. I was at this weight back in july and planned on slimming down a bit for my holiday, I failed miserably. I was well on track for being about 10 and a half stone but with me weighing myself constantly I saw I was ahead...

Hey my names Amy. Slim and and save was the first ever diet I attempted and did really well at it, had a couple of hiccups along the way but got down from over 15 stone to under 12. I think since losing the weight and so many people commenting it's really made me slip. I look quite slim at my...

Sorry for being away recently, wifi has broken at mine so no Internet access. Have a lot to catch up on, things seems to have hit me like a train at the moment!! xx

Aww thank you!! Slim and save is so much nicer anyway, I'm sure you'll love it. Keep us posted on how you're getting on xx

My size 10 dress as well!! That was a slim into dress that I bought as a size 18!! Felt amazing in it xx

Piccies xx

Oooh my god I'm dyyyyyyimg today!!! Haha. Had such a good night, went out in Bolton with work. Everyone was complimenting me so my head was as big as my hair!! I did pull as well, good job did shave hahaa!!! Glad it wasn't the guy from work as I think it's a bit too soon but he did comment about...

Sorry I've not been here for a couple of days girls, my wifi isn't working!! Argh!! Not weighed myself again, gonna wait until next week now!! fFitty at work has left but luckily there's still plenty left and one of them thinks I'm hot ha!! Was actually quite surprised, he's not spoke to me...

I'm absolutely fuming!! All I had yesterday was a salad and a ****ing shake and I've gained?!! What the ****? I'm never gonna get any lower than what I am. How can have I put on a pound when I'm practically starving myself?!!!! I'm so angry!!!!!!!!

Just had my friend round who told me I have twig like arms. Not feeling that. Seems like weight is budging everywhere but the dreaded tum, I think my boobs have even gone down another cup size *sob* I do miss my big bangers!! Praying for a budge in the scales tomorrow, don't think I've ever...

That is EXACTLY how I'm feeling. I get on with him so well as well, how annoying!!! Could have been something special haha. I won a small bottle of wine today at work and I've just drank it. Oops!! I'm such a lightweight, I'm tipsy xx

Long day and turns out fittie at work hates it there and is planning on quitting on Friday!! I'm gutted!!! I just hope he comes for the night out, I at least want his number haha. Just been seeing my auntie and she's doing fine, still not sure when she'll be out like. Hopefully the scales will...

Aww thanks ladies you're all so lovely with your comments!!! Still 11st4 this morning!! Grrrr... DYING to see those 10s, gonna be another couple of weeks yet I reckon. MUST STOP WEIGHING haha. How is everyone? xx

I'm such a poser I know!!!! xx

Me as a size 18 seventeen year old and me yesterday ha!! I look so completely different, I'm actually laughing. I'm wearing my prom dress. I'm going to take a proper picture in it when I hit 10 stone and see the difference xx

Reading through my old diary is so funny!! I feel like I'm a completely different person now. I was such a diet novice and now I'm almost 4 stone down. That's actually amazing!! In less than a year!! How many people can do that?! This post makes me feel so good, I was 4 stone away from goal...

God damn you ketosis, wide awake!!! How?!! Done an 11 hour shift today, I'm up at 7, this is awwwwful. Eurgh!! I better be 11st3 when I get on the scales tomorrow otherwise there will be murder!! Ha xx

Wooo well done hunny!!! I'm currently resisting going to the ship for cigarettes because I know I'll cave and end up getting sweets too. Carb AND nictotine withdrawals, pure torture haha xx

No new dress unfortunately seeing as I only get paid on friday :( and not sure how much effort everyone is actually making for it haha. But I will hopefully be a new weight by then, 2lbs off and I'll be 4 stone lighter!! Eeekkkkk!!! I've not ordered it yet, another thing I've go to wait til pay...

Yea that's pretty much what I'm aiming for or even 2!! As long as its around a stone a month I'm happy, we can't ask for any more, 36lbs is definitely achievable and it'll be really noticeable as well which is what we want!!! xx

11 hour shift is not the best start to the week but gets me by that there are so many hotties that I work with, night out with them all on Friday as well so definitely looking forward to that!! Need a new man in my life, or just a man in general haha. Omg, we are actually the same!! It's...

Thanks Shiv, I will do. How are you getting on? xx

It's with me going back up by nearly a stone again ha! I've lost nearly a stone in nearly a month so m pleased with my losses just not pleased I've had to lose what I already had all over again haha xx

It's over and done with now, thank god!! Doesn't bother me too much seeing as I get to flirt my back off with the hottest guy in the office. He's a compete slag I can tell just by looking at him but who doesn't love a good email flirting session haha xx

Well done everyone!! I'm 3lbs down but I already knew that haha so 12lbs in 3 weeks!! My scales were hovering between 11st3 and 11st4 so I plumped for the second one hoping that at least tomorrow I should be another pound down!! Be happy with 2lbs this week, then I'll have hit my 1st stone this...

Yea definitely but like I said, think she was a bit batty haha. It's not looking good to be honest but I don't want to think about it that way. She got told by her doctor that realistically she's looking at about 6 months, maximum 3 years but then other doctors have said she might be able to...

Ha! She was old, bless her, she was talking about how the photographer could drape things over me so I didn't look naked hahaa. Think she was a bit batty!! Still got over a stone to go, feel like I've been at this point for ages!! Be glad when I'm finally out of the 11s, I'll feel like I'm...

I went visiting my auntie in hospital again today (she's back in but is fine, just having tests) and an old dear on her ward came over to me and started telling me i have a perfect face and should be a model hahaha. Made my day!! xx

You'll lose plenty by then!! Believe me xx

Glad I'm not the only one!! Good luck!! Let us know how you get on xx

I'm literally watching towie then I'm going to bed!! 11 hour shift tomorrow!! Eurghhhh xx

You've got ages yet. With any other diet you wouldn't have got to where you are this quick. It's really hard because in essence we're starving ourselves. I had a curry yesterday, so what, I have a life and as long as I don't do it every day it's not going to kill me. Losing weight is supposed to...

Dont worry about it hun!! It's all heading in the right direction!! I've lost 12lbs but 11 of that is what I'd gained so I'm in the exact same boat as you!! Every pound off is a step closer to goal xx

I'm good thanks sweet, not really done much this weekend, skint til next week!! Trying my hardest to keep away from the cupboards!! Weekends are so hard to diet when you're not working!!! How are you? xx

Nuts are protein, don't be too hard on yourself xx

Thanks ladies!! Been for a long walk tonight as well, been doing that for the last few weeks now and it keeps me away from the cupboards so massive bonus. Just can't wait to get paid and start the gym!! I've got 2 months to lose just over a stone and tone the flab up. Sounds easy but this last...

Eurgh I'm sick of the state of my skin on this diet. I look like a spotty teenager!! No matter what I use they won't go, they seem to start to then more pop up. Feel like crying, my face looks an absolute mess. Just weighed myself though. I'm 11st4!!!! I'm officially the lightest I have EVER...

Had an omelette today for lunch with mushrooms, peppers, onion and bacon. I've left my shaker at work so looks like that ALL I'm having. Eurgh!!! Just gonna fill up on coffee I think. What a drag xx

Wooo!!! Only a pound away from your lowest like me!! Twinnies!! Haha. Aww carry on Hun, you're doing so well this time round like, really well!!! Now on to the 12s!!! xx

More the merrier!! Thanks Hun, it's been a bit of a slog because I tend to do a 2 month stint on, then 3 months off, then 2 months on and so on ha! But yep, lost it all on s&s. I've only been back on 2 and half weeks and already lost 10lbs so I'm hoping by then end of my first month I'll have...

You look gorgeous!! And I LOVE the colour of the bridesmaid's dresses as well!! Aww I'm so chuffed for you, can't wait to see the others xx

Well mine was from when I was 16 so I have literally always been overweight!! This is the slimmest I have ever been. I was 13 stone at 15 and didn't weight myself ever again after finding that out!! I'm sure you'll fit in it again, just keep going and you'll get there. I sort of do this diet...

I have no idea!! I think this time I'm keeping track to see when I reach my low weight. Think I might actually cry in 4lbs time and officially reach 4 stone lost. Then only 3lbs and I'm in the 10s!!!! Wooo!!! From now I'm only half a stone away from them, can't quite believe it!! 2 more pounds...

I think I have a scale addiction!!! I can't not weigh myself in a morning. Wonder why that is when I could do it so easily last time?! Well I'm another pound down anyway so only one single pound away from my lowest weight and 4lbs from 4 stone total loss!! Just need to make sure I'm not a saint...

Well done hunny, you're doing so well!!! 100% even with carb withdrawals!! You've got more will power than me haha xx

Ha I know exactly how you're feeling!! I denied my weight for so long by just not looking and then since deciding to do someone about it I'm a complete addict!! I'm not finding it too demotivating though, I'm actually finding that I want to eat less when I stay the same, if I saw a gain I would...

Ooh can we see piccies of you in your dress?!! Most of your gain will probably be water anyway so you won't have to do it that king really xx

Really struggling to not weight myself every day!! How I went 5 weeks last time is beyond me!! xx

Aww thank you!! How are you getting on? I'm struggling more this time than last time but that's mainly because I'm trying to use up packs I can't stand. Just keep telling myself its not long now!! Haha xx

Itd be a waste of chicken for me doing that ha. I've got loads of curry noodle soups as well which are rank. Looking forward to getting paid and stocking up on mac and cheese again. I love that one, its the only one I do like xx

Well done everyone!! I'm down 3lbs this week so 11st7. Need to stop weighing every day so then I can be surprised on a Monday!! Hoping for at least 3lbs this week so I can be the smallest I've ever been in my life!!! xx

After the amount of wine I drank last night, I'm scared for tomorrow's weigh in ha xx

I just add a bit of water and burn them in the microwave to make my own version of crisps ha. They are terrible but better than eating it as a meal xx

Im good thanks, had a shake and a curry pack which was villllllle but need to get rid of them. Done some cleaning and just going to my friends tonight for a girls night in. No doubt I'll end up having a couple of glasses of wine as well ha. How are you? xx

Ha that's probably why he did it!! You'll definitely get there Hun, you've got plenty of time just keep at it, you've already lost 4 stone which is completely amazing!! I don't know about size 8 you know, doubt my fat arse will ever squeeze in something so tiny haha. Size 10 definitely!! I...

Well done! I'm the same when it comes to cake and pizza and Chinese and all things terrible ha, I've binge eaten for Britain but I'm starting again and podding on til goal. If I slip up, I slip up, I'll just make sure I get back on track. Losing weight should make us happy not stressed out so...

I've struggled loads! That's why I've just started again, started it like a new diet. You've done brilliantly so far, just remember the reasons you wast to lose weight when you feel like giving up. It's only a few weeks our of our lives to get to where we want to be. Once we're there we can...

I've gone from being so strict and not weighing myself at all to weighing every day ha. Terrible! I don't even know how much weight I've lost this week just know its 9lbs in nearly 2 weeks. You'll definitely get out if the 14s in 5 weeks. I did 5 weeks no weighing, super strict and lost 20lbs xx

Glad you're back Lou, I've missed you ha xx

Thank you hunny, how are you getting on? xx

God I wish I was so lucky haha. Say with a girl at work eating burger and chips the other day and I was dying to pinch some, I don't even really like burgers at the best if times haha. Glad I didn't though because I wouldn't be another pound down this morning. Woo xx

Hey Hun I'll join you. I started off at 15st2lbs, been off and on for a few months but have only put on a few pounds here and there. I started again at 12st2lbs and have lost 7lbs so far. I'll weigh in with you on a Monday. Can't imagine being much lower than I am now, I always seem to lose...

Aww it's about time. So chuffed for you. Thanks Hun, you too xx

How are you getting on lovely? xx

Omg that's so good!! I thought this was the longest you'd done s&s, and no signs of giving up!! You'll be the same as me soon enough!! Update your stats, that always spurs me on, I love just decreasing it by another pound ha. So close to the 13s, keep it up and you won't be in em long xx

Well done!! Over a pound a day!! That's bloody brilliant!! You'll definitely have the rest off in no time xx

I'm down another pound as well!! Haha. I'm 11st8 now and into the next BMi scale, I want to get as far away from that 25 as possible!! Only 3lbs from my lowest weight now and 6lbs away from total loss of 4 stone!!! So bloody excited to get there. Then only a stone to go for the elusive 10 stone...

Yay glad to see you back!! That stone will come off easy!! Be mostly water. I put a stone on near enough but now I'm only 4lbs to my lowest xx

Woo!! Seems like we're well and truly in competition haha. I'm so proud of you not touching any!! S hard when it's right there in front of you!! Why can't we just be naturally bloody skinny!! Haha xx

Oh and I've lost another pound!! 11st9 now and so close to another notch down on the BMi scale. 4 more pounds to my lowest weight!!! xx

Mannnn I'm so hungry!!! I've only had 2 packs so that's probably why but I can't be bothered making another I'm that tired. Had a good day in work today. O e of the guys asked me what I was making when I was making a shake and when I told him it was my lose weight fast diet he said "lose it from...

Doing well today, even made my auntie a cheese toastie and resisted making myself one then got her a mars bar out of the fridge and resisted again!! S proud!! Haha. 3 packs down already and planning on saving my last shake til I'm staaaarving. Need to stop weighing myself every day, weighed this...

Youre doing fab hun!! You've got plenty of time to get in those 10s for your big day. I went a bit haywire on my diet but started a new job this week so started afresh and I'm 5lbs down. Just want to get out of the 11s now, been here aaaaaages. Glad you're sticking on plan today after all, it's...

Wow you look amazing!! And congratulations!! Can't wait to see pics of you in your dress!!! The beach there looks beautiful, so pleased for you Hun xx

Arrgghhh my auntie and her two friends have just come back with a Chinese each (which means there will be loads left over) and it smells soooooooo good. Why would they do this to me?!! Just gonna get in bed and hope I fall asleep soon xx

Its definitely put you right on track, how exciting!! Haha. I just can't wait to have a skinny holiday, I've NEVER had a skinny holiday!!! And I'm looking forward to not feeling like I look like a hippo all the time. It's so weird, I think because I've stayed this weight for so long it's become...

I know I'm so glad we're both at the same stage, we definitely need to keep updated on here so we can spur each other on!! No slip ups this time!! I'm gonna be ordering some holiday clothes with my first wage and I'm gonna bite the bullet and buy size 10s, Ill have to stick to it then otherwise...

Ohh i'll definitely be posting pics of me in bikinis!! I've seen so many gorgeous ones I'm going to end up with enough for 2 a day haha. I've never worn a bikini on holiday or if I have it's always just been as a more comfortable bra under clothes. I'm only 5lbs away from my lowest ever weight...

Started a new diary for anyone who wants to follow xx http://www.minimins.com/slim-save-diaries/318924-countdown-ibizaaaa.html

aww sorry t hear you've been feeling down chick, I know exactly how you feel but you seem to have your game face on now and you've got plenty of time to get to goal for your holiday. I just keep thinking last time I started a new job I went from a 16 to a 12 in 3 months which means now I've...

Day 5 I think. Feeling good, had a chicken salad from subway as a protein meal and still got one pack left to have. Keep weighing myself although I said I wouldn't, 5lbs down so far. Hoping I can make it 7 for my first week then really should stop weighing myself. Having a quietish weekend...

I'm good thanks babe, how are you? I'm on day 3, missing out a day because I forgot to take my shakes in and ended up having a jacket spud. I had a cheeky weigh in and I'm 3lbs down. I ended up back at 12st2 because I was eating utter **** so I'm bam on it and focused again!! WE WILL BE SKINNY...

Today has gone well, had 2 shakes and a bar so far, I'll have another shake later when I'm feeling hungry. Loving my new job at the minute. I'm still in training but looks like there's potential to earn loads of money. Helps that 80% of men who work there are stupidly good looking!!!! Just want...

im glad its going well for you!! Are you back on s&s? I'm on day 3 all over again. Got til August to shift this last bit xx

Aww I'm glad!! How's the baking business going? xx

Started my new job today. So far, so good. Unfortunately I forgot my shakes so ended up having a jacket potato for my dinner. I've had a shake since coming home and just going to have to make sure I pack it for tomorrow. There is the most gorgeous guy wo has started with me as well plus I'm the...

Ive been quite lucky really, I've been eating crap for 3 months and have only gained 9lbs but I think most of it is water retention anyway, last week I went back on s&s for a day and lost 3lbs, obviously put it all back on again so now the holiday is booked like you said I've got something to...

I'm back on day one today!! Put on a couple of pounds because I went haywire but back and raring to go!! Start a new job tomorrow so being back in a routine I think will help massively. I want to lose 2 stone for my holiday in August, seems like we're all on the holiday diet haha xx

You always start off hungry but after the first couple of days ketosis kicks in and that goes. I've had a couple of sticks of celery and just keep drinking loads of water to try and get me through. You're not really supposed to have more than one bar a day but I'm sure it won't make much...

Aww thank you! How long have you been on s&s, we should do it together!! 2 stone in 3 months is more than achievable. I've done it before so ill do it again xx

Here's some pics of my weight loss so far. I think another reason I went off the diet was because people were telling my all the time how amazing I was looking and that I didn't need onto lose anymore. The reason I still want to lose more is because I don't feel comfortable, I have a goal of...

Hello all, so I've decided to start a new diary. I start a new job tomorrow and so thought it was the right time to start afresh. I started my slim and save journey last September at 15 stone 2 and got down to 11 stone 5 going from a size 20 to a 12. I managed to lose 2 stone in 2 months then...

So I went on my date, he was a nice enough lad just didn't fancy him. I had a feeling I wouldn't, I'm too bloody picky ha. Got another date tonight, this time with someone I used to work with. He's really funny so I know I'll have a good night just don't want him thinking there's more in it than...

It took me about 6 months overall to get where I am now. I'm the same, I just need to get on with it and get this last bit off. It's so hard when I actually don't mind the way I look now, I don't see myself as fat anymore but I have a goal weight I still want to get to xx

Aww thanks hunny. I got my weight off using slim and save yea, I'm maintaining at the minute at the same weight, can't seem to get the motivation to get back on it to shift my last stone and a bit. Need a kick up that ass ha. Are you on s&s too? xx

Well I haven't seen him fully undressed but its certainly on the agenda hahaha xx

Finally got scales sorted, I'm 11st10. Put on 5lbs :(( was amazed because I thought it would be more, I think I've eaten more like a pig recently than I did when I was overweight! Back on it. 1 shake down, 3 to go. I can shift 5lbs in a week and be back down at my lowest then plod on into the...

Haha we're all so mean. He's a nice enough guy. Makes a change from the recent knobheads I've encountered xx

Hahaha I love this! He'll have clothes on for the date, may have to ask him to remove his shirt at least ha xx

i know! That's why I'm feeling so self conscious over eating in front of him haa! Not sure on his face though. God I'm never happy xx

Had the woooooorst toothache today! Took one of my aunties industrial strength and it knocked me out for about 10 hours ha! I'm going on a date on Wednesday! Can you believe it!! Can't remember the last time I actually had a date. Ill attach a cheeky pic of him, what do you think ladies? I'm not...

Thats fantastic Hun!! You should be soooo proud of yourself! Those last couple of pounds will soon shift xx

Thanks Katie! My weight has just stayed the same, I've been a nightmare recently on the diet and lacking motivation. Still want to lose a stone though. How are you getting on? xx

No probs hunny, good luck on your journey, always here if you need help xx

Going for a run soon. I say run, more likely a jog that will turn into a walk haha xx

Thanks hunny!! Don't think I'm model material though haha. My boobs have disappeared, I mean, I knew they'd shrunk but only just realised by how much haha xx

Found another xx

Found some pics of me whilst I was repping. Wow, no wonder I detagged myself in them. I don't even remember being that big xx

Wow I'm so proud of you!!! I really can't wait to see the pics!! Wish I was coming!!! xx

She is thanks Hun, she's out of hospital now and getting better. Staying in this weekend for once! Dying to buy some sweets and have a naughty munch haha xx

Thanks ladies! She will get better! Just a waiting game at the moment xx

Fingers crossed! She will get better, just don't know how soon it's going to be xx

Aww thanks Minerva! Don't be scared of posting!! Everyone is welcome a far as I'm concerned!! Apparently she had a bit of a bad do last night, I'm going visiting at 2 today so I'll know more then. Because she has so much wrong with her they had to be careful how to treat her. Usually with the...

It took me an absolute age to get down from a size 16 so I know how you're feeling, you just need to keep reminding yourself of how far you have already come and what you have already achieved. I kept on feeling shitty because I thought "oh I could be this size now if I hadn't have cheated/gone...

Subscribing! You're doing amazing hun!! You definitely didn't look like a 20 in your most recent pic, and congrats on size 18 and half a century!! Woooooo!! Hope you're proud of yourself xx

Yea we really are ha! We're going for a laugh not no meet Mr Perfect though! Ooh I need some new dresses and shoes!! I can't wear the same thing twice on a night out haaa xx Oh sooooo exciting!! I love weddings, hopefully the weather stays gorge for you xx Gonna have a nosey now xx

Thanks hunny, how are you doing? Not long til your big day now is it? Sooooo excited to see your pics!! xx

Wow well done mama!! That's amazing!! Do you have any before and now pics? xx

Ooh I love a good girls night out!! Me and my mates are going speed dating soon hahahaha. Should be fun!! Make sure you post plenty of pics!! Got an outfit sorted yet? xx

Thankyou!! How are you getting on? xx

Hopefully! I've got a feeling it may be at least another week yet though. I'll sort out the batteries, I'm not buying new scales, these ones are apparently the same as at the hospital so most accurate I can get really. God it's come round quick hasn't it!! What you doing for your birthday? xx

Thanks Lou! It's not tiny! It's a medium, I wanna be getting this bootay into smalls!! Haha xx

Aww thanks hunny!! My auntie is still in hospital, day 9 now, her lungs are still flooded and they're not letting her out until they are clear so no idea when she will be allowed home. She's not in any pain now though which is always good. I need those stupid watch batteries and no idea where...

Man I've been finding it hard to get back on the wagon this time round!! I've finally emptied the cupboards so the only things I am able to eat is my slim and save stuff. I think with everyone commenting on how skinny I look I've lost all motivation. I've still not got batteries for the scales...

Oh and I ended up eating a McDonald's. not doing too well am I?

Thanks chick. Had a bit of a **** time, my auntie is back in hospital again. She ended up in respiratory arrest on Sunday. When she went back on the coronary ward one of the nurses said she knew she'd be back. Proof there that they should have never let her out. She's on bed rest now until the...

Yea course you can babe. You've done so well, you'll definitely get there!! I'm excited to see pics!! Wooooo xx

Doesnt feel like a Friday!! Had the paramedics out to my auntie again today because she was in so much pain, they said there was no point in taking her in because of all her problems they wouldn't be able to do anything at the hospital. Ended up getting her some strong painkillers from the...

Oh I know!! How annoying is it that sizes aren't just all the same!! You can be 3 different sizes in 3 different shops!! Well I've just been visiting and they've decided to let her home later on. I'm pleased but I'm a bit worried they've let her out too soon. She doesn't seem well enough to me xx

Haha same!! We should start our own inspirational pics thread when we're in our size 8/10s!! It is pap her being in hospital but like you said, it's the best place for her!! She's put on 9kgs!!! Which is over a stone in a week. That's how much fluid there is, they've been giving her tablets...

Ooohhh I'm excited for you! I love looking at before and after pics!! I'm such a weight loss perv haha. Im going seeing her at 3 today, she's still not allowed out and we don't know when she will be. She could only manage 4 steps yesterday and couldn't make it across the ward without stopping...

Just start low carving and calorie counting til you get your order, kick start your losses. Don't go wild because you know you're starting again on Tuesday because otherwise you'll end up with an extra pound or 2 to lose! Haha. Loooove river island jeans, that's where all mine are from. Need...

I'm good! The days go so fast on this diet! It's nearly weekend!! Wooop!! I wish I had a load of clothes in a smaller size!! I have to buy new all the time with me never ever being this small before ha! You'll be rocking those outfits soon enough!! I really want some floral trousers too but...

Hi babs, how are you? Im the same as you, trust me! I ate past the point of fullness just because I liked the taste of something. Then I'd have chocolate and all sorts of other stuff because I felt like something sweet even though I wasn't hungry! That's a really hard habit to break!! Woo glad...

Day 3 and only just onto my first shake. Not hungry but I never am in a morning so not sure if its ketosis or not. I feel thinner though. One good thing about doing this diet is I never feel bloated and when I stick to it properly I never have a "fat day" I feel really healthy and light and just...

Really can't sleep tonight! Been drinking so much coffee to keep me feeling full that I'm on a massive caffeine rush. Really need to get some decaf!! Day 2 100% done though xx

Omg the curry noodle soup is amazing!! Tastes like a pot noodle!! I'm so gutted I didn't order more!! Still not as good as mac and cheese but it'll do as a replacement. Just a shame I can't dip and bread in it xx

You'll have to let me know what it's like! I love carbonara normally. I just went the whole hog and got the 5 packs for 28 days. I only have 3 or 4 so should last me a while! Need to do a big shop for veg and things xx

Aww thank you! Glad I've been able to boost you!! First 3 days are the hardest then once you're over that you can just rock it xx

Im good thanks hunny. Just got back from seeing my auntie, she's still not allowed out of hospital but we're hoping she will be by the end of the week!! Only just onto my second pack, after having the red fruits shake I feel like I'm having a treat with the strawberry!! Hiw are you? xx

Yep, I'm so over army boy he may as well be a rainbow!! New boy Jamie is a really nice lad, not sure I'm after romance with him though, I'm just enjoying being slim and having fun haha. I think it's best to stick to what you know you can do best when it comes to diets rather than what gets the...

Wow!! You look amazing!! Glad you had a good time!! You deserve to have it off for your hen do!! How long til your big day? xx

Aww thanks everyone!! On to my last shake!! Day 1 done!! xx

Sounds like a plan! I love omelettes so I may have to stock up on eggs and do that with you. I have them spicy with chilli and spinach and pepper in them!! Mmmm!! Ha you should go to maccies and ask for a cup and make the shake in that, trick your brain into thinking it is a maccies shake...

Yea course we can!! I'm planning on about 5 weeks initially, I lost I good wedge last time I did a 5 week run and I'm not going to weigh again, can't anyway because the scales are broken!! Haha. Strawberry is a winner in my eyes but I love anything strawberry flavoured! Choose the flavour you...

Thank you :) xx

Dont think good ones exist. At least not in Bolton anyway haha xx

Couple of then and now photos too xx

Oh and a dj from Kavos wants me to go back working over there saying I can stay with him and pay rent in kisses hahahaha. Never. Gonna. Happen!

Hopefully it can't get any worse because everything that has gone wrong has done already!! Anyway, it's all been going off in my love life haha. I was a complete idiot and went round to army boys again last week after 3 weeks of nothing bar about 4 texts. I had a lot of sly digs at him and...

Aww thanks MamaC! Don't be jealous!! You'll be rocking the crop tops too soon enough xx

Thanks hunny, she's coming out tomorrow so I'm happy about that! Just scared me a bit but feeling more positive again now! Oohh August is plenty of times to get to a 10!! It's nice that they've made a new role especially for you haha. I did really well on just shakes and protein meal or mac...

Oh god I've had the week from hell!! Gone off track massively with the diet, hardly eaten anything!! My auntie had a massive heart attack on Tuesday and has been in hospital since. She seems alright now but still isn't fit enough to leave hospital. I've ransacked the whole house, it's completely...

Some people love them just not me or Emma!! Haha. 10lbs is an amazing loss, that's like nearly a stone in a week!! Well done babe!! Best idea is to use off what you already have otherwise its just a waste of money, not that I can talk I've got loads of left over ones that I don't even look at...

Thanks hunny, I'm just gonna turn the curry packs into curry crisps I think. They taste nicer that way!! How's things with you? xx

Not loving the curry pack if I'm honest. I used to just have mac and cheese and strawberry shakes but then they ran out and haven't had any in since so I'm trying to get by with packs I don't necessarily like. I love the Truffa bars but only order a couple at a time, I usually have 3 shakes and...

Thanks hunny! It's going good, just making a curry pack with some chicken and I'm actually really looking forward to it. Need to get more water down me though xx

Soooo it's day 1 for me again today, get this last bit of podge off!! Get my in the 10s!!!! xx

Hey ladies can I join? Decided to get my last stone and a bit off with s&s seeing as my weight seems to be staying the same so I've ordered the 5 packs so I reckon that should last me about 6 weeks. Day 1 all over again for me today xx

Thanks babe. I really hope so. I feel like I've been doing this forever now, having a good run then stopping and starting again xx
