Hello ladies!
It seems like I am not on my own then! I have re - started the diet on numerous of occassions! Every time I start again, I keep on saying to myself- right, this is it! And then the weekend comes....And everyone tries to convince me that I don't need to lose any weight....That is how I fail - over and over again! Please help and give me tips on how to stay motivated/ not cheat and be able to socialise!!???
Thank you! xxx

Sounds like evryone is doing good today.
I have been clock watching a bit on the shakes score. But gritting my teeth and will get there.
Flobble, don't give up....hour by hour. As you know, I'm back after my first round. The first time I did this, I also felt a bit low, really down in the dumps but it did get better I promise. I was hating the diet but at the same time determined not to stop, does that make sense?
I got through it by having a good moan to hubby and taking naps if needed. Come on here lots because if you are like me, it really helps keeping you focussed when you are thinking, maybe I'll start again tomorow...seeing others shrinking weights, inspires you again to keep going.
Everyone, please moan on here as much as you want as I will be doing it soon no doubt and we can help each other, agreed?
Back later....keep going all.

well said i would come on here when the kids and hubby were eating food that i wanted and it made me feel angry, tearful etc and it really helped
Love all the posts on here! I have almost got through day 2 of my millionth re-start! It is such a releif not to lurk on the forum! I was just so ashamed because I has posted here when I tried the initial re-start and go so much support then felt terrible that I hadn't succeeded in sticking with it. So given I have completed almost 2 days of SS I am telling myself not to waste the effort I have put in to those hours of doing SS. Mind not hungry as have just had my porridge pack! will just try and get to bed early to have any temptation! Trust we shall have a successful day tomorrow too!
Kira, I felt a bit the same. Said hi on a previous re-start before falling off wagon and felt bad to come back.
But then I saw some other people back after a couple of failed attempts, and I thought on a selfish note, I'm only going to do this with the help of everyone on minimins so will come back again and again.
I think because we have all been overweight before, and all of us have so many failed diets behind us, we all know how hard it is to stay focussed 24 hrs a day. Everyone seems happy to give their support, we should all be willing to accept it.
If I fail (which i won't this time ) then I will keep trying and I hope everyone feels the same.
Come and say hi lots, we will do this.

Morning all! Thought Ild get some motivation for the day by a quick read on the forum! On day 3 and hoping if I get thorugh today (which I will!!) I will manage a full week on SS. I am done with beating myself up for failing on previous attempts so want to focus on some sucess this time around. Hope you all have a succesful SSing day! Catch up this evening I hope.

take it hour by hour then day by day and before you know it you will be looking back and thinking wow that went so quickly.
At first for me the days would drag and i hated it the after about 6 weeks it was flying by. It becomes habbit after 2 weeks so keep going your doing great and glad to hear you have stopped worrying about your previous attempts. XX

Hiya everyone
Just been reading your comments on falling off the wagon etc, and I can totally understand where you are coming from - BUT - most of us have had to do it again and again - some people have been fortunate and succeeded first time but they are few and far between. We are all here for support, guidance and sometimes a good ass kicking... but we are all here for the same reasons...
Just think that everytime you fall off the wagon is another week of CD and another week of shelling out for the sachets.. I am on day 2 of my umpteenth restart, and I need all the support I can get so lets all support each other...
Sorry for the thread hijack but felt that I just had to comment

Thread hijack away. I knew I wasn't alone in my struggles.
Well day four provides a v.pink pee pee stick! Hurray although am now very cold!
Feeling ok but my danger time is evening so we will see how I do there, I'll be back later to chit chat which will help me stay focussed.
Stay thread hijacking if we can be of help, day 2 day 4 we are pretty similar.....good luck

I miss BB. We live in france and need our language to go to that next level so turned of the sky. I used to love bb, am so jealous. French tv is c**p. Oh well one day we will turn it on again.
Flobble, I'm glad you are more positive on the new plan and its still very low in cals so should give good weight loss. I'd be afraid of a little extra meant a lot more for me. I think you have to be stronger to have a little food in the diet, so I take my hat of to you. Good luck and tell us how you are getting on.
I'll be on here lots today as week 1 (diet on brain 24/7) and hubby away for weekend so will need the focus to keep me on track and from getting lonely. If you are about, pop in and say hi.

Hi Flowey,
Just thought I'd add my tuppence worth
I suppose I'm a restarter too as I had some planned time off during August and then really struggled to get back on plan again. As of yesterday, I've changed from SS to SS+ and so far, am feeling much more in control and like I can actually achieve the next phase of weight loss.
I've basically lost 4 stones and have at least the same to go again, so it was feeling like a very long tunnel - but now I see a wee glimmer of light!
Anyway, congrats to us all for getting back on that wagon. We're all worth it and we deserve to feel good about ourselves.
Good luck everyone

I must have fallen asleep! Don't even know who whom yet, Siavash or Sophie! Flobble think it is good idea to go up to 810 than risk falling of the waggon. I note you are 6ft (wish I were!) so you probably need more calories just to keep your body working!
It's funny but this thread seems to be the first thread I try and find when I log onto the forum as I see it as my focus. Mind I am not very technical so not sure how to locate it straightaway! Well Day 4 and think it will be trickier as i will not be in my work routine. I keep repeating in my head "I can lose weight, I just need to stick to SS for 12 weeks". I've even got my husband and kids counting the days left I have that will hopefully get me to goal! I really should have no excuses given the support I have at home but the complexities of eating and not eating are too many, hence I guess many of us need the support of the forum. Well, must go and find out who won BB!!

Kira, day 4 - well done. The first week takes a year, then the next 11 weeks will take 6 months of brain time. Once week 1 is over we will all be really keen to keep going. On and off the diet, week 1 is the toughest, it doesn't feel like this all the time, you soon get into a routine. That's why people like me who started their diet with one goal are back with a bigger goal - because although wk 1 is hard, it gets easier and really really does work.
Am on day 5 and gets a little easier day by day. If you can do one week, you can do 12 weeks no problem. Be really proud of yourself, we are half way through the toughest bit....yipee

Oh Flowey! we are hopefully looking into selling up and moving to France in the near future, do you enjoy living over there ( its such a big step) Were hoping to go over in November to have a look around.
I think the biggest advantage with doing the 810 for me is that my hubby is doing it with me and that means a lot as I do worry about him... so kind of given me an extra motive...
Thelma, its horses for courses isnt it really, I feel I have more control at mo having that little extra. Wow fair play to you loosing 4 stone already. Did you loose that on CD?
Kira, being so tall means I have to find clothes to fit height and girth lol, not easy believe me lol.... I agree there is a lot more chat on this thread and it feels very friendly. If you click on user cp in the top left hand corner if there has been any replies it will bring you a link to straight back here ( not that I can navigate well on here yet either lol)
I just knew that I was about to fall and felt it was better to move up a keg than fail, as this time I want to be in it for the long hawl. Plus having my DH agree to go on the 810 with me is great.
Its lovely to have support from your family isnt it, my DH has been great too.
Did you think it was good Sophie winning? I cant believe Im saying it as I couldnt stand him for the best part of BB, but I actually wanted Marcus to win in the end lol, as he had grown so much and was in a funny way quite interesting when he did chat in the latter days... but Sophie was sweet. Well keep up the good work...
Well 2 days until my first weigh in , I know it wont be great results with choping and changing but hopefuly it will be a start.

Good morning everyone - hope you are all ok..
I've just started my day 3 and feeling very good about the diet this time.. I've got about 8 days worth of supplies left so I will be using these up before visiting my CDC, so I wont be having a true first WI...
Although I must admit I have weighed myself on my scales this morning after only 2 days, and I'm the lightest that I have been in the last 3 months - yippee..
To all the newbies, why don't you all start a diary thread, and update it each day... then everyone can add their comments etc as well as you being able to log how you are feeling and how you are finding the diet ... just a suggestion, but I have one and find it good to just capture how I am feeling etc...

Hello madferret, like the diary idea but king of use as my thread, like everyone that says hi on it. Good idea though and can see it working.
Flobble I think you now have found a plan you will be able to stick with. Hubby doing at well will be soooo much help and support. I bet this is it now, your journey begins.
Everyone has to do the journey their way. Some start and finish all in one go - amazing. For me it was a small goal - got there, came back with similar weight loss goal. I've now lived at this weight (ok + 4/5lbs) since June and although I like me, I can still see improvement and that healthy bmi would be amazing. So here I go again. I think we all have to do it in our own personal way, but we will all get there.
At the same time, we are all 'on a diet' whatever the plan and this will bond us and we can help eacher, highs and lows.
