JULES Don't worry about that rogue kilo. A woman's weight fluctuates at different times of the month anyway. Keep persevering and you should find that you lose the kg you won along with another kg. ANNE Well done! You LOST weight, that's the main thing, it doesn't matter how much. Just remember that the slower you lose the weight, the less likely you are to put it back on! BUTTERFLY Well done! To get through the peckish time I don't think you can go wrong with a piece of fruit or some raw vegetables. Oh... and try drinking lots of water too. Tip - water is boring but sparkling water is a bit more interesting and is even better if you squeeze half a lemon or lime or even a tangerine into it! I discovered this last summer through experimentation because I was so fed up with water. I cannot have 'diet' drinks because nutrasweet/aspartame sets off my asthma.

I seem to have 'won' an extra kilo???. Dont understand as I have cut down.

Elevenses- 8 dried apricots or 20 almonds or 2 oatcakes and peanut butter-have managed to avoid biscuits and sweets since Friday. Rosalyn

I don't eat people. len

does anyone have any tips to get through that 11am peckish time?

well done!I think its good to have a thread like this sometimes all you need is a bit of encouragement!

I got weighed at the Weigh Centre in Newcastle yesterday. (Acurate weight to the ounce) In 5 days I've lost a grand total of - 3 ozs! still better than putting on 3ozs. I hope all the extra exercise shows up next week Anne

Just to let you knnow,you can join the slim fast website free,it gives your ideal weight and has loads of other stuff,Ive just joined!

hi everyone!Have just weighed myself and am really pleased have lost 4lb! Deb,Just post however much weight you've lost on the day of the week that you started your diet. Hope everyone is ok

Hi everyone. Can I join in too, please? I lost 12kg in the last 6 months of last year, so my goal for the first few months of this year is to definitely stay below 70kg and if possible to lose another 5kg. Helen

How does tis work then. Do we all have are own weigh in days and just post the results? Or is there another way? Deb :-) I keep trying to start but not good yet. Been poorly since xmas day, with tummy bug and now horrendous cold and cough, barking like a b****y dog. But will get there.

Jumped on the scales & have lost 6LB. Really chuffed. I had put 2 on over Xmas , but 4 is good. I have been cutting out the snacks & drinking water before my meals. Now I want to get the exercise off to a good start & will pick up one of those free packs from Boots. Lorraine

Wow Theresa, that is fantastic. I'm keeping up my walking, and was at the gym this am, but I haven't lost anything yet. I find it is a couple of weeks later that I feel the difference. Keep it up Anne

im with you. want to lose 2 1/2 by August :-/ deb

Diet is going well,Am making sure I take my dinner to work.How is everyone else getting on?

Lets say just weigh in whenever you like.The thread is for everyone male and female.

Hi, I'm going to log in each week & give the lbs I've lost (if any!!!!). Maybe we all can all encourage others & give tips & receipes. Lorraine

I weighed myself yesterday and its not good news....

Hiya, i have tried every diet known to man and a few i made up along the way and then 6wks ago after suffering such a bad migraine that i thought this is it sooooooooooooooo i dropped dairy, wheat, gluten and caffiene from my daily routine and gave up dietiing, i have not had a migraine since i feel great and i have lost over a stone without trying, it was not easy to start with but it beats the heck out of having migraine kes
