New to fasting I've decided to start this today as well. Some good ideas there, thanks for sharing.

My lo is nearly 10 weeks now, so I'm joining sw tonight. Need to lose about 3 stone. Any tips?

I was told it was calcium too. I was waking up several times a night. Now I've started drinking more milk and having a milky drink before bed. I haven't woke up with any leg cramps which is bliss. What ante-natal classes are you going to...I started lazydaisy and it's really good.

Mrs-s, how many calories did you stick to? X

Yeah it's good to get ideas from people so I'll try and do that tomorrow x

Well after lots of should I ? Should I not? I've decided to give this plan a try. First day today and I'm amazed at how much easier I'm finding it. Not focusing on unhealthy treats so this might just be the plan that works for me! I love reading your diaries and they've given me lots of...

I know this question has been asked before....but I'm really confused. I always thought the 49 weekly points were there to use as and when needed and if you used them all you'd still have a calorie deficit so loose. I re-joined a new class this week....the leader said not to use unless it was...

Thoroughly enjoyed breakfast and a good catch up on the gossip. Opted for traditional breakfast as that's what my friend was having. Can't say it was worth 25 points ....but suppose it was a 1 off x

Thanks Cori for your reply. Think vegetarian morning roll will be best. It's so high in points but not something I do every week. My plan is to walk into town which is 5 miles and back so hopefully earn some activity points x

Hi, in need of some help please. I'm meeting a friend tomorrow for breakfast in Wetherspoons for a good catch up. My eating out guide hasnt arrived yet so I've no idea what the best thing to go for. Can anyone help? X

Just to add it's all about working at your own level and pushing to your limits. The instructors are good at managing everyone individually. Everyone's too tired and out of breath to compare themselves to anyone else x

All abilities go and there's such a good atmosphere amongst everyone. The first month is tough and it's hard to walk down stairs or go to the toilet after your first session as there tends to be lots of lunges, square etc. However, once you get through it you'll be amazed at how much fitter you...

Hi Jenny, can I just ask what sort of slim fast style shake you have....I've got Cambridge shakes left and wondered how I could incorporate them into slimming world x

It's great....I've been doing 3 classes a week and it's the best thing I've ever done. I'm fitter and more toned doing this than any other class. Don't be put off by being outside, it's actually nice and refreshing. Just put loads of warm layers on. If I was u I'd get some bike gloves with...

I agree maintaining is hard...hence reason I am back x

Well done you look great....and you've just motivated me to keep going with this diet x how long did it take you? X

Starting today or should I say re-starting x

Hi.good luck. I'm restarting today.....feel awful and hate seeing all the photos of myself. I'm also going on hol in feb so hoping the short term goal will motivate me x

Hi I'm new too after having not much luck with sw. I've downloaded my fitness pal and it's def made me more aware of what I'm eating x

My options are always lean meat/fish and salad or jacket potato with baked beans....would be nice to have a bit of variation or know that thats the right sort of thing to eat x

Just wondering what people choose when eating out? x

Well starting from tomorrow (my weigh in day) I'm going to give it a try. I realised after I'd typed that I wouldn't need my activity points after weeklies as obviously I'll choose food that's filling and 0 points. I'm staying in a b and b this weekend so at least I know I can have baked beans...

Have been struggling with propoints this week. I've tracked everything and gone over by 37 pp. I think the difficulty is I do a lot of exercise (2 classes most days which I love) and therefore I just feel hungry. Was wondering if it would be easier for me to do simply filling (especially as I...

Good luck....I also swapped from pro points to SW and really enjoying the change (and loosing weight every week) x

Lovely with nutella....4 syns per tbsp x

Hi Been following extra easy which is great as it's so easy to balance and live a normal life. However, my losses have not been fantastic and some people talk about following red days and getting better losses....do you think it's worth having a few days to try and see?

Hi What would be the best option for eating out at an Itallian restaurant please? thanks in advance for any advice x

Thanks for all the ideas....the breakfast quiche looks lovely x

Just wondering if it's worth investing in the food directory? Does it give eating out values and syns for coffee shops etc? If not where do you all find them please. New to the plan and just finding my way round so thanks for any advice x :D

Hi, I'm new to this so after some ideas for Breakfast (I've just been having fruit and yogurt). Thanks x

My BMI is 26 at the moment...I've got a stone to loose before I start to feel comfortable. I've really been trying with WW and I have learnt a lot about portion control. Perhaps I just need a change of approach....fresh eyes and mind x

Hi everyone, I've been a WW member for about three months and lost 8 pounds. I've been on holiday and put on ten pounds!!!! I didn't go mad and walked for miles each day. Anyway I've tried getting back into the plan and I'm not loosing anything. So I think it may be time for a change; do...

Hi Thinking of starting LLL....But before I contact a counsellor could someone give me an idea of what types of food you can eat please. Thanks.

Thank you for the information x

Hi, I've been doing w8 for life as my BMI is 26.5. However, I've moved house and now I'm too far away from my consultant (and there are no others in the area). I was wondering if cambridge diet offered something similar for someone with a BMI of 26-27? Many thanks x

I've started using it too....as I found Wii fit too easy. I signed up for the 30 day challenge at high intensity. Even for me who is a regular gym person and who can run 11 miles it was quite tough going. It's good that it's something different each day....every little helps x

I only drink sparkling water now...I love it. It hasn't effected my weight loss x

Yeah, I was told that coldness was a good sign as you are in ketosis.....so I always see it as a positive thing x

Hi, I've taken hair, nail and skin supplements throughout my time following w8 with no effects on weight loss. Boots own brand is good and usually on 3 for 2. Holland and Barratt have their own half price at the moment. When I stopped taking mine my nails started to crack and split so I've...

I too gained 4 pounds by having xmas day off plan....so been out jogging and sticking to my diet properly. 4 pounds in the grand scheme of things isn't as bad as it could be. Let me know how you get on x

Squats are good for toning your bum too. x

I'm not doing cambridge diet (I'm following w8)....on my add a meal week I mistakingly had sprouts nearly every day. I didn't loose anything that week....since found out that they are high in carbs. So I'm avoiding them now. Will have one or 2 on Christmas day and that's it x

Good luck .....I follow w8 programme and go to a class in Newcastle. x

Hi, I'm in Chester le Street....doing W8.

Hi, I'm following W8. If you follow the rapid plan, they say you can loose between 3 and 4 stone in 12 weeks. If you do the regular (which involves one meal a day) the average loss is 1 stone per month. The W8 forum on here has loads of advice and friendly people if you need to know anything...

I'd like to join as well.....3 stone would take me to my goal weight! x

I go swimming 3 times a week. I've also got an exercise bike which i go on some nights while the soaps are on. We've got a gym at work so will probably go once a week when the summer hols are over (trouble is I just get bored in the gym) x

I had a mole removed from my forehead a few weeks ago...it too had been bleeding and sore. It took less than 10 minutes for them to cut it out-doesnt hurt and I'm usually a wimp with things like that. About three days later the results were back and all was fine. So you don't need to wait...

Yes I'm cold too....just put the heating on x

Some people at work noticed after two weeks saying they could tell the difference in my face. None of my friends have commented on the change yet. I' ve just told people I've stopped drinking, cut out all the nice things I used to enjoy etc....so I'm not lying but just not telling them about...

I've lost 8 pounds so far this month x

I just get Boots own make....about £5 for a months supply (currently on 3 for 2 at the moment). x

Redken products are fab! I've dyed my hair blonde for last 7 years, use my hair dryer and straighteners every day. My hairdresser and everyone else comments on the good condition of my hair. I use the smoothdown blow dry serum as well as shampoo and conditioner....bottles last for ages. I also...

Hi, I'm heading off to looe tomorrow....just wondering what the weather is like in cornwall at the moment and what it will be like next week? The met office report seems bleak....but hey it also says heavy rain in north east and so far its been sunny and dry! I really dont want to spend a week...

What does it taste like? x

Just had a look at the website....looks great x

I'd like to loose 14 lbs....I'm determined to do it....my weight loss seems to be staying at 3lbs per week. x

Like Cankster, I too end up watching other people eat. My partner is always complaining that I watch him eat every mouthful of food....it's not because I want any. However, I do seem to get some enjoyment out of other people eating. Then when I go shopping I become horrified at how much...

I'm sure you will be fine. I've been doing W8, last week was my add a meal week. I was a bit worried about how it would effect my weight loss. Most nights I had fish and salad....I still lost three pounds. Well done on showing such great will power too x

Just thought I'd add my energy levels now are higher than they have ever been before....so def worth sticking out those first few hard days x

Yes it does go away. It took me 4 days...I've now lasted nearly 5 weeks and can honestly say I haven't felt hungry....I now realise a lot of my eating was emotional. This is the first diet that I've been on that I've managed to stick to 100% for more than a week and it's the only diet where...

I just bought my usual size and they were fine. x

Hi, I've had my fit flops for quite a while now and they are so comfortable. Yesterday I did a 13km walk in them no problems.....but I tell you my legs and bottom are certainly aching today!!! So they do definitely give you a good workout and apparently make you burn more calories. I'd advise...

The intensive hair conditioner is really good. You put it on for 20 minutes before washing your hair....leaves your hair in fab condition x

Yes, I tried the husk powder....tastes disgusting in the shakes. I've tried altering amounts but no luck so far x

I ordered an exercise bike ....it arrived on Tuesday! It's great watching the soaps and using the bike.....least I'm actually moving rather than sitting on the sofa x

Yes I get the cat hair feeling on my tongue too!!! Became a bit obsessed about it, buying a tongue scraper and new mouthwash. Someone recommended drinking sparkling water....so I usually have a small glass or two during the day. That seems to have helped and fingers crossed no hairy tongue...

WOW!!!!! A real transformation and inspiration for everyone out there! x

I'm treating myself as I loose weight....figured it would keep me on the straight and narrow plus I'm saving money by not having meals out or drinking alcohol. So I have reflexogy which is great for relaxation and giving my sluggish system a boost. On Friday I'm having a Tibetan massage as a...

I loved that song when it came out...I had the CD. Brings back memories of being young and carefree x

Has anyone noted any good results with this? x

Excellent, you can really tell the difference around your eyes and cheeks. Well done on your loss so far...look forward to seeing your photos when you're at target x

Wow...you look great. You can really tell the difference on your face x
