No I only have a fat wardrobe haha. The last time I was a 14 was over 8 years ago. Before I was pregnant with my first. Since then I have been in maternity or size 16 stuff. I can still wear same jeggings I wore 3 stone ago. I must have been squeezing everything into them, they are getting too...

I only have a few meal packs left. I ordered shakes and bars this time. Think I have enough meals until Tuesday. Then gonna start having some chicken for dinner instead of meal pack. Need some more adventurous ideas coz I don't like salad but I love chicken x Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins.com

Yes don't think people realise how much commitment this diet takes. Any other diet you can have a treat now and again with this you can't, you have to be 100% at all times. You will probably be in for a nice big loss next week then. I'm gonna weigh in tomorrow and hopefully I will be into the...

Everyone always thinks it's the easy way doing this type of diet, they don't realise how bloody hard it is!!! They should notice a difference you have done so well. Don't think anyone would dare say when someone has gained weight but losing it is a big thing! And makes you feel so good when...

I may just do that. If not I will just have chicken and he can have steak. I'm sitting in a pub currently with all the family eating and I have a glass of water. Usually give in and eat but decided to be strong will be home in a hour and I can have my dinner then! Sent from my iPhone using...

That the only thing with stepping up your either stay the same or put on. It's just the water weight which you are gonna have back as soon as a carb touches your lip. I'm planning on adding a meal next week. Just gonna stick to omlette or chicken for a while I think. Do you know if we could...

100% day 2 and the Valentine's dinner has been cancelled so think we are going to stay home now which means I can have my meal pack and will just cook for OH. Have a day out with mum and sisters planned for next week but think I can get away with skipping the lunch as I need to pop into council...

I think that's what I done it I hit my 12 stone target and thought I deserved a treat! Think I'm only gonna move it this week. Really it should help me stay on track thinking I have to weigh on Monday. But obviously not!! I have been 100% yesterday and so far today so think I will be ok, had a...

Know how feel skellybob I too was so in the zone and the last 2 weeks I have been having little cheats and have hardly lost anything!! I'm so angry with myself. I started back yesterday and have such a headache today I want to chop my head off. Can't wait for today to be over. Hopefully will be...

Yeah I'm not that worried about my BMI to be honest. Yeah that's what I'm worried about having the packs is so easy. When you have to start thinking about how much food equals a portion and all that it starts getting confusing. I know I eat way more than a normal portion of food. I make my...

Looks lovely. I want to do a bit of a dip dye but I'm too scared. All my treats are always good related. By the time I get to 11.7 I need to get some new clothes. My jeans are getting very baggy. I can't wear them without a belt now and even then they fall down! Sent from my iPhone using...

1 cheat meal turned into 3 days of cheat meals. Do not know why I did that as it's now probably ruined my weight loss for the whole week. I was doing so well too. I hadn't had a single bit of food for 3 weeks!! Starting over today and no more cheats. I want to get to my goal weight as quickly...

I had a couple of cheats over the last two days and I can feel I have put on. So today I'm putting a line under it and starting over again. I went 3 weeks without a single bit of food and I'm going for it again. Not looking forward to weigh in on Monday coz I know I'm going to be disappointed...
