Ok well I have been off the diet 3 weeks now, 2 weeks of it planned and this last night out of pure not wanting to go back on it again ! I had a all inclusive holiday whereby I totally let go, I knew I would so didn't pretend to myself that I wasn't going to do anything different. But what I'm...

I cannot believe that I've now lost 4.5 stones ! It's so hard to get my head round the fact, when I look in the mirror, I still see the larger me, not the slimmer me. My hubby got so cheesed with me yday that he went in the loft and took down the size 20 trousers that I was wearing at the...

Hi, I spoke with S&s and the milk Truffa is available now but could be a while for the other 3 flavours.

I've been hiding for a few days. Still 100% but feeling very down. TOTM and not lost a single pound since my last weigh in. Back at work after a few days off, so harder to get on here now. I am on 4 packs, no veg, 3-4litres of water a day, 1 pep or green tea and a occasional coffee. So why...

Aww thanks guys ! Defo squealing with delight !

I've just done my first 30 DS, oh boy am I feeling it ! But also feeling great, I do want to try and keep it up. I have lost nearly 4 st now and started to see things get a little saggy, hoping it will help :)

Good luck for your stay away from home ! Remember your goals, being swayed and starting again just won't be worth it ! Have a good day :D

Thanks GeeGee ! Never would have considered 11lb could be most first weeks loss, I just cannot believe it ! So thrilled, and so looking forward to my holiday !

Have a great day Hunca ! Hope it's better than ydays.

Thanks GeeGee and WPW for the encouragement ! Whoop whoop, I've lost 11lbs !! I just can't believe it, I put on 12 lb over about a 5 week break through Dec and Jan, but nearly lost it. So pleased ! I feel that I have a good chance now to get to 10 st or dare I even think it the 9's by the...

Didn't get to post yday as sat on the sofa last night and promptly fell asleep. Feeling so ultra tired at the moment. I know I'm in ketosis and some people get lots of energy but I feel like my energy has been completely zapped. Anyway Day 7 nearly over and still 100%, excited for final weigh...

Woohoo 12lbs, fantastic loss ! Well done Hunca - keep motivated you can do it !

Well done GeeGee on a fantastic loss ! Sorry to hear that you aren't feeling great today, hope that you perk up soon. I'm the same feeling so tired today, not much energy, really hope it passes soon !

Woohoo ! Great start Dovydaitis ! I restarted as well but just behind you, on Day 5 now. Sounds like you are doing really well :D My wish list is for a pair of long boots to do up but nowhere near yet :cry: So fantastic result for you !

LOL ! I had to laugh, my thoughts exactly ...... Another day nearly done, pat on our backs ! Enjoy your oatmeal, I can't stand either of the porridges, I wish I did as I normally love my porridge ! X

Thanks Gem ! :D So chuffed that I feel so much better today and feel so motivated ! Holiday booked for w/c 10th of feb, off to the Canaries, really want to get to 10 st and seeing the scales go down is keeping my spirits going. I hope I can do it, so need a boost of confidence to sit in a...

Hi Gem so pleased that you had a better day ! Hopefully the snow disappears soon so that you can get your new veggies. Fingers crossed for you that things are now on the up !

Day 5 - woohoo ! I'm in ketosis, not been hungry all day and blooming freezing. I know that it's cold out there at mo, but I am so much colder than anyone in the family, so defo think its ketosis kicking in ! Had a brill day, still on 4 packs and no cheats. 4l of water and 3 green teas and...

The first thing I noticed in every picture is your beautiful smile ! But wow haven't you done well and truly an inspiration. Fantastic, thank you for sharing :D

Thanks very much Hunca, will put that on my sheet. I ate at 5 today with the family and made it wrong and it was horrid, oops ! At least I know now for next time. :D

Lol re the sick ! I felt the same about my curry tonight, I made it wrong it was lumpy and looked dreadful. I sat at the table with the family and they had their lovely roast dinner I made for them and then pudding, I had lumpy curry :cry: But it will be worth it ! Well done you, you are...

Hi Hamish's Mum, wow you are doing so amazingly ! You offered me so much encouragement last year, so pleased that you have stuck to it and are realising your dreams - won't be long now before you move down to the next BMI cat. You are an inspiration to us on here ! Love reading your positives :D

LOL ! I think I've had one of those days today ! Last night I was grumpy and today just plain miserable ! Think it's because I don't think I'm in ketosis yet and just feel so hungry. I've drunk nearly 4l water plus had 3 cups of green tea, had 3 packs and just my bar to have tonight, but...

Wow that is amazing on both fronts ! Well done on going out but not drinking - no mean feat I'm sure ! But wow, great loss !

Hiya - planning to have curry tonight and realised that the "how to do" guide from S&s that I've kept is the old guide when curry wasn't an option, I must have thrown out the new sheet and for the life of me cannot think how to make it up in the microwave. Pls could someone let me know how ?

I totally understand your post, I tried every day from the 27th of Dec and failed every attempt. I beat myself up terribly for it and that just made me feel worse and cheat again. My hubby and I were chatting about why I couldn't get going again and he said to me, you've done it before, you...

I don't mind at all ! I have had a couple of goes at S&s with this being my 3rd. I started my journey last April doing 12 weeks first time and losing 3 stone, I had a planned break for a foreign holiday but lost my stepmom to cancer whilst we were away. My dad fell apart so I had to do a lot...

I have green tea with peppermint and also just plain peppermint. Think it's ok, it didn't previously halt my losses, but would be interested if anyone can confirm ?

Thanks GeeGee, wow you are doing so well already ! I am really hoping ketosis will be here soon, I feel really motivated not to cheat but feel now tonight so irritable as I'm feeling so hungry. Thank goodness hubby at work and kids tucked in bed so can be grumpy on own ! X

Oh no re the pizza ! Sending you lots of strength to resist ! Think wedding dress and bikini, maybe have a bath xxxx I also work from home, so totally get where you are coming from on the social front. But I do think that I have it easy as I am able to pop to the loo when needed (and that is...

Sounds like you are doing really well ! I've found this time round on s&s that I have a horrid taste in my mouth, I just keep brushing my teeth to take away the taste and drinking more water. I found if I have coffee, it seems 100 times worse ! Even my little girl said to me today to go and...

It's so exciting and motivating when you get into the next size jeans ! You go girl, you soon will be wearing them !

Thanks Rhee89 for the motivation ! I hope your journey is going well ? Day 3 and a mighty busy day again. I wasn't hungry at all through the day and been a good girl and have drunk 3.5l of water, however come tonight I'm starving ! I'm on 4 packs today and finished my packs but sat this...

HUNGRY, HUNGRY, HUNGRY ! I could eat my right arm now, but sat with a calming cup of green tea. But can't stop thinking of food !! I want to go for a bath but my eldest is a little unsettled and don't want to disturb her. I can do this, I can do this, I can do this !!!

Thanks so much WillPower Women, really appreciate your support ! Day 2, finding it harder today, kept myself very busy and know that I am back in the 'zone' but feeling very hungry. Having 4 packs today, already had 2 and have a chilli for dinner and a bar for later. I have drunk 3 litres...

Restarting today, back to Day 1. I've been trying to restart since the 27th of Dec and failed miserably every day. I know why I have failed. When i first start, I find it hard to get motivated to finish a full day as I know that I need to put the effort in, which is all consuming. I become...

Hiya Em, I restarted in Oct after a horrendous year. I too had a miscarriage, lost my step mum to cancer and two close friends to the horrible disease. We had a holiday too and just could never get back, but I've done 10 weeks now and lost 2.5 stone as i didn't want to start the new year...

Hi Abigail I've experienced the same problem with cafe latte and hazelnut shakes. I phoned S&s and they confirmed that they had changed suppliers. I absolutely cannot stand the new ones, they are revolting. I asked if anyone else had complained and they said 3 others, that's all ! They have...

I do a mixture, somedays just milk shakes, some days milkshakes + protein, and again other days with meal packs, milkshakes and protein. If my weight loss has stalled and I've stuck to one of my options for a few days, I change and it seems to give it a boost. I also like my shakes thicker...

I really am battling with viewing myself thinner. When I see myself in my mind, I view myself as really overweight and just can't seem to replace that image with someone who has lost 3.5 stone. I was asking my hubby last night about who I now looked like weight wise amongst my friends and who...

LOL ! Hamish's Mum, I have dreamt of this day. You too will be there, you are doing fantastically well!

Wow that is superb ! What an achievement ! We must have started at the same time, I'm just going into week 8 and lost 28lbs, but a massive congrats on your 36lbs !

Woohoo ! Into the overweight category, no longer classed as obese ! Cannot believe it, just got to keep ploughing through those numbers until normal appears. However hubby already that he saying doesn't want me to get too small, I've lost loads off my bust and waist ( now have 26in waist) but...

Loving Children In Need tonight, spent some of the night in tears. Just realised how lucky that I have such a wonderful healthy family and gives me the inspiration to carry on with my weight loss journey and be healthy for my family and for myself. I don't want to be the fat mum that my child...

Sorry diary for neglecting you, but you will be pleased to hear, half way through week 7 and still 100% .... Woohoo ! Just ordered size 12 jeans, not quite there but need the motivation, can't believe I was a size 20 (a very tight 20 !) and now a 14. Really want to be a 12 for the Xmas party...

Hey guys, how are you all doing ? After a week from hell last week, I did stay 100% but just by the skin of my teeth ! Not the greatest of losses this week but a loss is a loss. Started TOTM again ! Was on for a month, then came off for a couple of days but back on again ..... So frustrating...

I really love your posts ! Just loving your positives ! Well done on a good loss this week, I've struggled the last couple of weeks but remained 100% but not had brilliant losses. I'm really hoping that I can have a good week like you, I think you've hit the nail on the head, when you said stick...

Great ideas, thanks everyone and thank you so much for your support !! Survived the visitors last night, hubby made chicken breast with cauli, leeks and carrots with a cheese sauce. But very carefully he made me the same without the carrots and made up a pasta pack for me as my sauce ...

Hope everyone is doing well ... I'm still 100% even though we had a early Halloween disco to attend with lots of rubbish and bacon butties ... but I resisted. Next few days are going to be tough .. I have visitors staying over tonight, travelling for work tomorrow (which is always difficult...

Hi Nomore, just wanted to give you an update ... I had 4 massive cups of green tea and cut down on my coffee to just 1 cup and jumped on the scales this morning and I've lost 2lbs from what I weighed yesterday am ! I did though have TOTM (for nearly a month !) and finished a couple of days ago...

What a stressful day and well done for staying focussed ! Terrible experience for your DD, hope she's ok. x

Wow just seen your pictures, wow what a difference ! Well done, fantastic achievement already MissAmyMarie ! x

I do love green tea and have a cup or two a day. Think I'm going to try your tip and see how I get on, will report back Nomore ! x

Good luck, wishing you a fab journey ! The first few days can be pretty miserable, but just keep at it and it suddenly clicks. x

I'm in ! On day 29 now and been 100%, so what's another 30 days ! This is exactly what I need x

I've just finished week 4 - weigh day today and I lost 2lbs, which I am quite pleased with as by Thurs/Fri I hadn't lost anything. Fingers crossed we have a better week 5 !

Hi tinkerblonde, I love your quote of the stairs, just brilliant. It's kept me going the last couple of days ... I spent most of the week walking across the landing and the last couple of days, I've gone another 2 steps ... 2lbs off now ... Yeah ! Fantastic thank you Day 29, I've lost a...

Hi Guys ... my little one is 3 in December and I have the same sort of motivation, I really don't want to look back on another set of pictures and being the fat mum. Tsweety81, I can totally identify, I had a mc this year and lost my stepmother (been my stepmother since I was 5) to cancer...

me too ! I am so cold ! I am sat wrapped in 2 fleece blankets and I feel like my feet and hands are going to fall off !

Day 26 and still going, but been daily weighing again, old habits die hard. I haven't budged all week on the weight and feeling a bit distressed by it. I get my motivation from seeing the scales move and when they don't my motivation starts to wain. Stressful week at work and sat alone, hubby...

Pitter patter did happen to me too ! I was on the Cambridge diet 3 years ago and 8 weeks in found I was pregnant, lovely suprise as we had been trying for a while before VLCD ! I am currently on the pill but had a miscarriage earlier in the year so my cycle has been on / off, but just seems...

I have a mix of both, just whatever suits on the day. Somedays I stick to the 4 packs if the kids are not home for tea and if they are home, I have a protein meal with them or if we are socialising. I did SnS previously and lost 3 stone in 3 months, but due to bereavement came off and put on a...

I was going to ask the same question tonight - I've been on SnS for coming up to 4 weeks now and I've been "on" the entire time. This week is especially heavy, it's really getting me down. I feel so bloated and wonder if my weight loss would be better if I didn't have TOTM. Just had enough now :(

It started off as a good day, jumped on the scales just to see the 11's ... really pleased. But I want more off ! Stressful day at work, didn't have time to have any of my packs but kept up with the water. I had for dinner a pack with some beef, broc + cauli. I will most prob will only have...

Loving the comments and I really can identify with all of them ! Another one is I want my confidence to improve. So many people think I'm confident but its just a show and I battle to put the show on at times. I just can't wait until it comes naturally, so tired of acting !

Thanks Derika - can't wait to get into the 11's and say goodbye to the 12's !

You can do it ! The first 2-3 days are not the easiest, but the first weeks loss is the best feeling, so definitely makes up for it ! That first step is the hardest but you can find your way and adapt it to your lifestyle. I have two little ones and don't like them not to see me eat, so if we...

Where has the last week gone ! Just not had a chance to get on here, but I have kept going with S&S. I had my dinner out last Tues which was scrummy, I had steak and salad ... yummy ! Then had a day in the office which was very tough. I took some chicken and salad so solved the problem of...

Out for dinner tonight, here is praying that I make the right choice ! It's all about choices isn't it ?

Fantastic loss this week ! Well done you ! :)

I've just had a bath as my lovely husband is taking me out for dinner tonight to celebrate our anniversary. However what I can't wait for .... is that a normal towel will wrap around my huge hips and that when I get in / out of the bath, I don't create a massive tidal wave ! :hide: My kids...

Thanks Derika ! Very wise words from you ... last time I did it I was 100% for nearly 11 weeks and the last week I cheated and then never got back on ... I am really planning on trying to pick wisely, but sadly no pudding for me tomorrow night :) ... but the Slimmer Me by Xmas, so excited ! x

Its so hard isn't it ! I really don't want to go through those first few days again, I think I would just get demotivated. We should be ok if we have a small steak - I restarted again a week ago and lost 9lbs and I have been having a protein on most nights, you should be fine ! Just looking...

I'm out for dinner tomorrow night for my wedding anniversary and contemplating the same thing - steak with salad (no tom) or veggies off the list ... like you I don't want to damage my good restart ! x

I'm really loving your positives HM ! They give me ideas of things I should look to be positive about, pretty inspirational, like the wedding ring ! Mine just doesn't budge at the moment, something to watch for !)

Weigh day today and what a great suprise ... I lost 9lbs, the best first week weight loss I've ever had and its TOTM, really chuffed ! I haven't measured yet, but will later on. Boy isn't it so motivational ! But I've got a couple of days out ahead of me ... its my wedding anniversary so...

WOW !! Well done - what a fantastic loss ! :)

Shew what a busy day ! Literally have not stopped since 7 this morning ... off to bed in a minute, another very busy week ahead. Didn't do well on my food today, managed to do 3 litres of water but only had 1 shake, 1 bar and 100g chicken without any veg. So missed a pack .... not good...

Thanks very much Dovydaitis ... hope you're doing well. :)

What a tough day, but you made it, be proud of yourself. Big hugs to you through this tough time. :bighug:

I love the lemon and truffa bar slightly warmed ... they go gooey and just yummy. Feels like I'm being naughty and having a treat at the end of normally a very long day. :) But I must admit, not too keen on bars if not warmed though !

Its so motivational when your clothes start to fall down ! Well done ! I try and keep the next size down of trousers to keep me motivated, I try them on once a week and as the weight comes off, it helps me to see that the trousers can get above my knees, then can get up to my waist (but with...

Wow fantastic loss ! Well done ! :clap:

I did it Dovydaitis ! They had fish and chips and I had my chicken with pasta. I wasn't even tempted ! They had pudding and I washed the dishes with a big smile on my face .. can't believe it ! I haven't tried the curry pack yet, just finishing off my packs that I had from my last attempt...

Thanks Dovydaitis .... I am looking forward to Monday ! I know I've lost some as its just the name of the game, you restrict what you eat you are going to lose. But as its the first week, I am hoping for a good loss to get me going again ... a good loss is such good motivation for the first...

Well done Hannah - 4 inches from your waist, that is fantastic ! What an amazing start. I also started on Monday, I did do S&S at the beginning of the yr and lost 3 stone in just under 3 months, which was great. But had a family bereavement and it all went a bit pear shape (literally !). I...

What a feeling well done !! :)

I also only have a bar at the end of the day with a cup of green tea. They don't fill me up but I do love the lemon and truffa bars slighly warmed in the microwave. I cut it up into 8 pieces and warm for about 20 -30 secs. The lemon becomes quite gooey and like a crunchie and the truffa choc...

Yeah Day 5 achieved ... 100%. Another stressful day at work, think so busy, didn't even have a chance to feel hungry, cold or miserable (only about work !) ... I had mushroom pasta for lunch, vanilla shake with coffee warmed at about 3ish, cottage pie with a bar. Didn't have my veggies...

Hiya Dovydaitis - I am really hoping for a good weight loss. I'm normally a daily weigher, but staying off for the first week to get that OH MY WORD feeling ! Thanks Derika for your support - yes definitely onwards and upwards ! Well Day 4 - what a stressful day at work and was so...

Thanks guys ... it was a a good day, hope yours was just as good ! Wow Derika, 2 days of that headache ! The headache was awful, glad it only last 24hrs, don't think I could have coped with it for longer and was one of the reasons why I put off restarting S&S again. I remember it from last...

I have my first pack at 12ish, second at 3 ish, third or / meal at 5ish and then bar at 7.30ish. I found from the last time I was on S&S if I had my first pack too early, I would be starving all day ! I drink 3 bottle of water (500mls) before 12, 2 bottles before 5 and then 1 in the evening...

Thanks Lillipud :) Feeling much better today ... Day 3. Think I'm going into ketosis, not so hungry today and headache lfted this morning. Been another 100% day, can't believe how committed I feel. I pulled out a folder last night of diets that I have done over the years and was totally...

Day 2 - Not a bad day actually, quite suprised ... until the headache set in. Work was busy so didn't think anything of it until lunch time, I had a spaghetti, which I enjoyed. About 3 ish, I had a strawberry shake and then for dinner chicken with broc & cauli. My afters in a minute will be a...

Thanks Derika, much appreciate the kind words ! Hope its all going well for you. x

I've battled all my teens into my adulthood with my weight. My mother had an eating disorder and growing up watching her binge or starve was so hard and has caused so many of my own demons. But I want to break the cycle, I now have children of my own and I don't want them to be like me. I...

Good luck Rhi Bro ! I so too wish ketosis would kick in ... dreading tomorrow as my day 2 is always my worse day. Good plan re the chicken, think I may do the same :) Hope you are feeling better soon x

Hi All - I've tried S&S before and lost nearly 3st but sadly went through a family bereavement in June and struggled to get my mojo back. But I'm back ! I put on 1st7lbs but determined now to get back with the program .... but boy am I struggling today ! My concentration is absolutely fallen...
