No, not together. Squash (cordial/juice if you're not from the UK) with water and milk with tea.

Hi there, I 5:2 and have lost 19lbs in six weeks. I fast Tues and Thurs and do not work out on those days. Tuesdays and Thursdays are my rest days. I find that the easiest way for me to stay on track is to skip breakfast and only eat lunch and dinner as then my tummy hasn't been woken up until lunchtime. Saviour foods are…

The biggest issue with Slimming World is that the foods aren't "free". Similar to the Weight Watchers "no count" foods, you are only supposed to eat enough until you are full. As most of us on here are apt at ignorning the "I'm full" signals from our brain before we start dieting, chances are, thatwhen you're doing…

For me it's after I've lost 15lbs. They first 10 always slip off, then the next 5 don't take much effort, but after that I feel like I have to surgically remove anything after that!

Yes, yes, yes! Day one and two I normally feel great and happy because I'm on a high from being back on the wagon. Day 3 and 4 I'm cranky because I can't have things I want. Don't forget that sugar is just as addictive as some drugs so you are asking your body to go through withdrawal. When I started seeing it like that, I…

OK, it's not healthy - water is always the best thing to drink but diet soda's aren't bad for you per se - see the sensible comments from people above re the studies done. It is calorie free so it won't make you put on weight, but some people say it slows down their weightloss (for a variety of reasons both physical and…

I don't eat all my points because I'm just not hungry and I'm eating low sugar. As to the rest it sounds like I just need to be patient :)

I put on 7 pounds one weekend! All came off though.

Wow what an achievement. You look fantastic!

1. Be healthier and get back to playing all the sports that I love. 2. My mother and her ridiculous portion sizes and her attempts to force wine down me every time I visit

Check out the weight gaining section of community, you'll get better, more tailored advice.

I drink protein shakes but I have a similar problem with soy so I make mine with Almond Milk. It also tastes nicer!

This! And don't believe that something won't work just because it didn't for some people. It's different for everyone.

My goals come from wanting to be healthy. Diabetes and heart disease runs in the family. It just so happens that the way to combat this for me is through weight loss. I also agree with the majority of posts above, if you want to look a certain way and it happens to agree with society as long as you don't impose it on other…

Or the pizza!

Do you have a kettle at work? If yes Google healthy home made noodle pots that you can prepare a few days in advance and you just add hot water to warm them up. You could also try simpler things such as a salad or a sandwich for lunch.

I've cut it out and I've seen greater weight loss but I think that's to do with the lack of drunk munchies than the wine calories!

I also get fast food hangovers now which really puts me off eating it.

Hello, I also have a cheat day, except I call it date night once a month. People are going to say that there's plenty of ways to do date night without cheating but my partner eats what I cook all 29 days of the other month to support me so it strikes a balance. The way that I do it is to excersise and eat well in the lead…

I'd love an answer to this as well. I was 4lbs up this time and I ate and excersises and drank tons of water.

Hi there I have 6.5/7.5 stone left to go. It's a long journey and I have tried so many different plans and I've finally done a stone on the right one. Add me if you like.

Congratulations. Great to see that simple can be effective.

A really pretty dress that I've bought for a trip away with friends in a months time. It fits but it doesn't look great. I want to go out feeling a million dollars in it.

Thank you all. Looks like I'll just have to wait and see for me personally how it works. It will probably be nice and random but it was worth a shout. Ta x

Just got a Shine for Christmas and I love it! Everyone I know has a Fitbit, which is no good for swimming. Sent out some request for friends to help keep me motivated. I really enjoy trying to beat the average user on it too!

I'm 6ft and started at 291lbs, I've only 16lbs but I saw the difference after half a stone. My friends noticed first but when I looked at myself in my underwear in the mirror, there was a gap between my hips and my waist again rather than just having a fold. I also saw it in my face, it didn't look so tired or puffy! I…

Thank you!

I also swim. A lot.

I use an indoor bike, a cross trainer and a treadmill.

My fiancés Grandmother is dying and I'm stressed out due to exams; I ate a whole packet of cadbury's eclairs. Think I may be guilty of this!
